'Cause I'm a tough-shit friend; I reckon I'll stay with you to the end

[TEXT]

Since this has been the gift that just keeps on giving for the last week or so, I've got to say that I almost prefer the crazy people trying to end the world.

But then, I've got the sort of Pokémon that start a new day every five minutes. I've been having the "holy shit, guys, it's just me" conversation starter with them for something like the last week - is there a way to get them to chill out, or am I just going to be dealing with this until some scientists get their shit together?

[...Well, okay, then.]


[ACTION]

[Well, anyone around Ecruteak will definitely have some idea of what she's talking about, given that she's outside with entirely too many Bergmites today; she tends to keep them out because Beastmaster always kept them out, and it feels weird keeping them in the damn ball when she's not traveling - but it also makes for a lot of inconveniences because holy shit these things are not smart and seem to have no grasp on object permanence, and they do not seem aware that their trainer is the same person and not some new threatening thing even if they look away for thirty seconds.

Not that they can be blamed exactly, because she's looking a little...wow that's kind of.

But she's also bored staying inside and she's been holding out hopes that maybe the Bergade over there will be a little more tolerable outdoors, and for the most part they are! At the very least they can entertain each other a little better by playing together and once in a while just sort of unceremoniously falling over, as tottering icicles are wont to do.

At least it's something, anyway, even if they do kind of notice her once in a while and make her go all Chris Pratt on them to get them to stop just advancing on her, doing the poor-dumb-icicle equivalent of DON'T TOUCH ME I'M BIG.]

Oh, for the love of god, guys -

[Well! The last three days have been exciting, haven't they.

They've left Nonon in a weird state of being both really awake and overly contemplative; this sort of conflict...she hadn't expected it here, and she's not sure what to think of it now that it's definitely something that happened. Sure, she met a god and got a cute...thingo out of it (and she's still not sure what to do with the Sylveon in general, though it seems...friendly? like, really friendly. weirdly friendly. so much friendship) but at the same time it's still kind of a lot to take in.

Being who she is, however, she's more than willing to acknowledge that sometimes? Shit happens, and when it happens you make the best of it, and you kick as much ass as possible, and sometimes you get allies out of the deal. So! Today she will be throwing a video out there, and she actually doesn't seem too ruffled. The fact that she took the world's longest bath and slept for a good amount of time is definitely helping her demeanor, at least.]

Hell of a fight, wasn't it.

[...She says, as though discussing a party.]

I'm looking for a few people, and I think some of you may be in the same situation because little tiffs like that aren't the best place for making friends. So let's get some missed-connections going.

I'll start – Beastmaster, you never told me if you made it or not, but I'm going to assume you're okay and can answer this, so if you wouldn't mind I'd be much obliged.

There was another guy with interesting hair in the trees – still in one piece?

[...]

See, easy. Who knows, maybe your compatriots'll find you if we're all in one place.

...Oh, and I guess we ought to fill in the guys who weren't there; if you're curious about where we all went and your friends didn't call to fill you in, you can ask. Me, someone else, it doesn't really matter. Pick someone.



[OOC]

[Consider this an open mingle post! Get in here and post your missed connections – people you ran into during the battle logs and would like to meet again, but didn't quite get contact information for, due to the commotion and the strangeness and the...Hoenn...everywhere.

You don't have to interact with Nonon directly if you don't want to, because again, it's an open post, but she's also up for explaining the clusterfuck if anyone ICly needs her to, and she's also up for just shooting the shit about the battle if you so desire; otherwise, threadjack away!]
