Location: Ferry Poké: 740 The battle royale was starting! This was Kanon's first time having such a battle, and she wasn't about to let the others thing she was some sort of pushover. She may not have looked as excited about it as she actually was, but that was okay. Lunar seemed eager enough for the both of them. Already, attacks were being ordered against one another. Kanon glanced around at the other Pokemon assembled. Oswald's Starly, Ivan had brought a Pancham, and... Kanon had no idea what Jacklyn's Pokemon was. She'd never seen anything like it before. Maybe it was native to Korova? Which, to Kanon, meant it was probably smartest to get that one out of the way first. "Alright Lunar, go Tackle that one!" she said, pointing at Jacklyn's Pokemon. She'd have to ask about that Pokemon after this battle was over.

Day 8, 8:00, Arena Points: 61 W/L Record: 3/3 No response...August did the same thing sometimes too. Was that just a guy thing? If they were that alike after all though, it meant Gavin would definitely meet her at the place she'd specified! And so she waited, right there at the arena door. Every couple moments, she'd move from one spot to another as the air around her got a bit too chilly for her liking, moving almost in a pattern so that if she ever went back to the first spot, it'd be back where its temperature was supposed to be. She was pretty sure she'd gotten a few looks while she waited. It was weird having people know who she was, but in a warm and fuzzy way! I guess it's almost like being a hero? Sort of? ...maybe not. But it IS fun! Eventually, he showed up after all. "There you are!" Aurora waved over to Gavin, gesturing him toward the door as she continued "I don't think we'll have time to actually get there and back before I'm up for an event battle, but a nice walk never hurt anyone. Fresh air, casual exercise, seeing sights, that sort of stuff! And it'll give you plenty of time to tell me about any extra details your little friend there managed to dig up over the last few days."

but I'm not gay ?

Location: Ferry Poké: 740 "Battle Royale! It's a shame Belle isn't up here for this, but you snooze you lose." That's nice and all, but it doesn't tell me what a Battle Royale actually is. "If I had to guess, it'd probably be a battle between the four or five of us all at once...no teams...just chaos." "More or less, yeah. There's a bit more to it, but it's not important." Now that was a bit more helpful. It was exactly what the name suggested after all. She wasn't sure what these Ivan and Jacklyn people were packing, but Kanon did know what Pokemon Oswald had at his disposal. She wasn't necessarily playing to win, but leading this fight off with Bubbles probably wasn't the way to go. Lunar seemed like a better pick. Aside from his very recent catch, none of Oswald's Pokemon could really do much to him, and Lunar had been a pretty faithful combatant, even if he did run off that one time. And so, following Ivan's gesture, Kanon reached into her pocket, and pulled forth the pokeball containing her four-legged friend. She tossed it forward, only for the eager-looking Rockruff to pop out, tail wagging to and fro as he regarded the Pancham across from him with an excited and intense look. Lunar was raring to go as always.

what is your favorite color?

"Yo, you know there are better places to take a nap, right?" Someone else's voice had joined Kyouko and Fedora Guy up on the roof. Kyouko turned, recognizing the face. He'd been at CoffeeCards a few days ago, right? Did he ever introduce himself? ...Kyouko couldn't recall him ever doing that, let alone what his name would have been if he had. He looked like a Haruki to her, but that probably wasn't his name. "U-um... hi, Kyouko," "Hey," she responded, only briefly glancing back at the boys again before turning her attention back to her phone. While they were talking about clubs - Fedora Guy mentioned the idea of an Entertainment Duel Club - Kyouko's phone buzzed in her hand. Then a second time. And a third. It kept going, and Kyouko kept reading the messages as they popped up on her phone, waiting a short moment after the last one to make sure Jun didn't have anything else to add, waving back when she saw Jun waving from way down there. yea met her a few days ago she's really funny talks about being a dark princess of something really likes chips too how bout you? what your doing not if you like chips but do you like chips? have you punched that weirdo yet? I don't think a dark princess is the type of person I'd want in my club. Not that princesses are a thing outside of fairy tales anyway... I wonder if she'd be on board with that club Fedora Guy was talking about? Maybe not, if she was already trying out for the regular one that already existed. could go for some chips now that you mention it. might get some. haven't seen the weirdo from coffeecards yet, but trying not to hit anyone, even if they deserve it. And... send. Chips sounded good. They went well with tacos. Sour cream & onion flavor. Kyouko made for the door again, calling out to the boys on the roof. "I'm going to a vending machine. If either of you have something you want and can pay me back for it, speak up."

well you see, if it were me, I would feel free to say "HEY GUESS WHAT I'M GAY!" but I'm not gay

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's neat I guess. Needs more gifs.

Naturally, I'm all for it.

tell me about it

They didn't have to go this hard. But they did anyway. 8/10 7/10

"Are you all kiddin' me?! Y'all are just going along with this?" Natsumi simply nodded. Even if they didn't "just go along with this", what were their other options? They had no money, nor the means to get any, short of duel tournaments. But trying to go rogue and winning those would just keep alerting KaibaCorp to their location. For better or worse, there were really no other options left but to see what else Project Crimson had in store for them. With everyone now having their marks, it was at least safe to assume the experiments themselves were over. The other Signers, however, were in a state of chaos. Tora just wanted to go home, Leiko was apparently new to all this (according to the thug anyway), to say nothing of the others. Natsumi was doing her best to pay attention to the task at hand, but they sure were making that tough. Trying to keep an eye on her duel spirit to ensure it didn't start any trouble only exacerbated the task. And then, like the closest thing to an angel this madhouse of a meeting could hope for, he appeared. Blues Kaiba, the recently-promoted CEO of KaibaCorp, the man who had explained what the project itself was, and the owner of a rather gaudy-looking jacket. From the sound of what he'd said though, there was not only a need for heroes right now, but Blues was willing to generously compensate everyone for their time in the labs and the task they were about to face off with. What a sudden turn of-- "I have an objection. I have no need to be compensated. I'm not really sure what you need a 'billion dollars?' for anyway. However, I'm fine just knowing that I'll save others from harm. So, I will refuse his offer." "Your heart's in the right place, but you should take the money. There's no rule saying you have to spend it all on yourself." "I'm in. Though, I'll have to go with the money and home myself. The money will help me back home... And I want to talk to you about the situation in Hearthome once we figure out what's going on with the missing people." Like that. "I'll also accept your offer, Mr. Kaiba. However, I'd like to talk about the state of Hearthome City as well, after we've handled the missing people issue." If Natsumi thought really hard, she could still see the city before its fall from grace, in vague memories. Seeing that restored to reality was far more valuable to Natsumi than a bank account. The green-haired girl cast a contented nod in Octavia's direction. It was nice that someone else cared about the city. Scrap Worm, in the meantime, appeared to have disappeared. As if it had burrowed into the ground, but without a hole to serve as evidence. He'll be back. Probably just running around the prison to check for any dumpsters or something.

I want a refund.

Location: Now-safe cave (Team Alola, day 23) Inventory: Good Rod, Antidote, Kasib Berry The cannibal assaulting the group had stopped moving. Seemed that Nani's Thunder Wave had come in handy after all! Everyone else seemed to stop too, if only for a very tiny moment before Marie suddenly let out a powerful blast of water onto the Skuntank, finishing him off. She also seemed just about finished, as the former Popplio fell onto her back. Ouch. Nani headed over to her to make sure she was alright. "I don't think we should sleep here." "Good thinking." If these guys got back up, that would be bad news. Nani leaned over, holding her hands out for Marie to help her back onto her feet, and turned her face toward the boys. "You two don't mind a bit more walking, right? We're already awake now after all."

"Stand behind me; grab onto me if you have to." Eh? Grab onto him? That was a hard pass from Hibiki. He seemed like a nice guy and all, but... "How about... you give me your badges, and make it easier for the both of us." Change of plan! Hibiki loosely gripped Suda simply to avoid getting pulled into... well, whatever it was he was doing. She didn't feel any wind against her, so it couldn't have been a Quirk like that. Whatever Suda's Quirk was, it seemed pretty neat. The girl that had attacked her was already down on the ground, turning herself to be perpendicular to Hibiki and Suda, and casting the latter a dirty look. "Nice trick." On her spot on the ground, the girl started rolling in place, faster and faster. Like a whirring engine of rolling. "But if I wanted to see cheap tricks, I'd go find a street performer!" The girl suddenly extended out an arm and leg, launching herself forward and upward with her sheer momentum. However, even after launching herself in such a way, her lower half continued spinning rapidly, prompting HIbiki to let go of Suda and slide beneath the assailant and into the center of the gravity Suda had made. Which left Suda with an incoming girl whose lower half was spinning in vicious circles, each leg stretched out and threatening to slam him clean in the midsection. How do her legs do that!? And for that matter, how am I supposed to fight her without screaming again? I'd hurt Suda too. Maybe if I bit her a bunch.

Sounds fun. I'll come back a bit later with my picks.
