What is this sorcery?

[herebesparkles]

I'm telling you there's no other explanation for this Senior, I can't even glide down!

[It's a well invested conversation between a... small dragon? Is that a new Pokémon? Yet it can speak, and it sounds like a familiar protagonist from Hoenn...]

There's no way. That can't be it.

[The fairly redheaded kid with him is much more recognizable. Sure, he's crouched strangely and pretty tall, but at least he's a human being. ...Maybe.]

Well last I checked things like this don't occur naturally, so unless you have any better ideas--!

[Of course, there's one little detail that could be pretty easily overlooked.

The two of them are stuck on the ceiling. Anti-gravity is fun, guys.

The dragon type(?) digs his talons further into the ceiling, desperately trying to get a bearing on his surroundings. It isn't working out too well. Silver isn't having much luck, either; however, he's less concerned about getting a physical bearing on the situation.]

You don't know that, do you?

I've been around an entire region and never once saw anything like this so I think I can say this with some authority, senior!

Speak for your own region.

I don't want to live in a region like this, thanks.

Neither do I, so let's get out of here. [but in order to get out of here, they'll... have to get out of the room first...]

[To drive insult into injury, the gravity of the room shifts, and the room suddenly pulls them towards another wall.

Careful if you enter; the room will probably suck you right in.]

[ooc: Specify if you want tiny dragon Ruby, totally legit Silver, or both!]

Lights! Camera! Action!

[aspertiations]

[There's a show going on today, and you're invited. To be more exact, there are multiple shows - movies, really - going on in a theater-esque room not too far from housing. There are romances! There are heroes! Ninjas! Aliens! And many, many more!

All starring a certain young man, who - accompanied by his azumarill - are waiting to shove people in to see the movies and ask them questions about it when they come out.]

this is the last stop, all npc subway partners must exit

[50shadesofnpc]

[One of the many, many rooms housed in the research facility opens up to a subway platform! It's just your average station... though maybe a bit better-kept: a vending machine stands in one corner, potted plants keep the atmosphere calm, and the floor is well-swept. Pretty standard fare for anyone used to Unova's Subway system.

Except there are no trains coming. The tunnel on either side of the of the platform stretches on into darkness; sure, you could enter it, but all the signs for safety say that is a Very Bad Idea. You wouldn't want to cross the yellow line, would you?

Hopefully not, because sooner or later a single subway train will rumble down the tunnel. When it lets its passengers off, there's only two riders-- a very calm Hilbert and a very jumpy Nate. Nate hops across the gap between the platform and train and runs into the station, chattering all the way. Hilbert follows behind in a leisurely manner as the train runs off into the darkness again.]

And you really gave that Clerk guy's Braviary a good one-two! It was great! And! And! Hilbert, didja see when Arcanine got that guy's Gallade? Wasn't it a real smart move there?

Mm, yeah. Pretty cool stuff and all.

I know! And-- Saaay, what's this?

[Nate has now found the door into the hallway. He pauses like a startled deerling, eyes as round as dinner plates, then begins hopping up and down on each foot in excitement.]

Hilbert! Hilbert! Look! We got off on a new stop! Ingo an' Emmet ain't said nothing about this! C'mon! Let's go check it out!

Careful, there. [Hilbert is entirely unruffled by this development, tuckng his hands in his pockets and tilting his head to one side.] Don't go running into anyone.

[Nate may or may not listen to Hilbert's words of wisdom; good luck to you in that endeavor. Feel free to start to talk to either of them; they will both eventually show up in the thread.]
