8th moon [video/action for Violet???]

[paladinlost]

[The feed shows Sprout Tower. A very pixellated Sprout Tower. A very lopsided Sprout Tower. Almost as if the Pokégear was being held by a very limp hand.]

This is not quite what I expected when I decided to take a walk this morning.

Aerith, you might want to go to Goldenrod today. I believe it will save you some travelling time.

...Is this some sort of nightmare?

Comments

[Action] THANKS DAD!

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

But... but why?

[It was, to be frank, terrifying.]

[Action] *dotes on the kids*

[paladinlost]

...Perhaps this world is rejecting us.

[Action] *likes being doted on*

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

But would it not simply send us home if it did not want us here?

[Action] Where are the rest of the kids anyway?

[paladinlost]

It might not be able to. So it modifies itself in a way that unsettles us.

[Action] WTFing somewhere else? Maybe?

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

But there is still no point. We are still able to live here, more or less.

[Action] Squall had better not be in Goldenrod by now.

[paladinlost]

That will depend on how long it lasts. It could be aiming to drive us mad.

[Action] Nah, he needs to get the badge first.

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

The music is already starting to, I think.

[It's honestly distressing him. He's not used to this sort of noise and it's starting to give him a headache.]

[Action] He had more than enough time to do so, if he woke up early.

[paladinlost]

Ignore it. Ignore it! This is not the time to be driven insane. The monsters might be waiting for the opportunity.

[Action] This is true... but then there is also Azalea. [Also, KEYWORDS]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

I've tried!

[It's too obnoxious to ignore!]

It doesn't stop the monsters either.

[Action] Psha, bugs. Cyndaquil. [LJ won't let me see keywords, for some reason.]

[paladinlost]

...Oh dear. The monsters. Are Tidus', Bartz' and Cloud's Pokémon strong enough to fight them? They might be in trouble!

[Action] True. [It said "If I go crazy then"]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

I haven't been able to guess there levels... we should find the others.

[Action] [Aaaaaah, I see. *nods wisely*]

[paladinlost]

Do you think they realized that the roads are shorter now?

[Action] [>3]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

If not, they will soon enough. I had only planned to catch up with you on your walk... I did not expect to be in Violet City so soon.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

Neither did I. ...I wonder how far we could get?

[Action]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

...I'm not sure.

[Probably really far. Assuming Firion hasn't gone insane by then.]

[Action]

[paladinlost]

According to the map, boats are necessary to reach Cianwood or Mahogany. Which would mean... Olivine, then? I wonder if that city is also under these effects.

[Action]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should try?

[Anything to distract him from the noise.]

[Action] /threadjack?

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[Surprise WoL! Hopefully he didn't startle you too much, after that creepy music you've been listening to.]

If we are going to, it would be best to wait for the others before attempting it. We would not want to be separated, if things... change back.

[Action] Yay!

[paladinlost]

[Not too much. You just made him jump a bit.]

That's a good idea, Light. Eight of us have managed to be reunited after so long. It would be a shame to end up separated because of our impatience.

[Action]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

[He jumped too. 8|]

Are the others still in Cherrygrove?

[Action]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

I am uncertain. I have not seen them since I came to Violet.

Perhaps we should find them. Have the two of you come across the strange creatures that have appeared?

[Action]

[paladinlost]

We should try calling their Pokégears. This way, we will know where everyone is and how to get to them quickly.

I have, and I do not like them. They feel... wrong.

[Action]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

[He nodded]

The one I encountered was simply made of bones, nothing more.

[Action]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

As though they were undead. It is worrying, especially with our pokemon in such a state.

I hope that you did not have much trouble with them?

[Action]

[paladinlost]

Bones? I saw only squares.

I was unable to conclusively defeat any. They all escaped before I could.
