ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Last month's mini-events!

Effect: Friday, July 8: Flower Gift - All day, despite the season, flowers drift down from the sky. They’re harmless, beautiful, and smell lovely, but if trainers aren’t careful, they might end up trudging through rosedrifts up to their knees before long.
Swarm: Tuesday, July 12: Spinda
Effect: Friday, July 15 to Sunday, July 17: Worry Seed - Affected characters won’t be able to get any sleep. Does that make your character cranky? Does it damage their brain-to-mouth filter? The effects can last as little or as long as you’d like over this weekend.
Effect/Swarm Double Duty: Friday, July 22: Surf - Large waves appear in all bodies of water, including things like bathtubs and your Sawsbucks drinks (it’s just bean water, you know). Be careful on the ocean, but also, hang ten, dudes! The waves won’t destroy anything, but trainers are going to get wet on this ride. Also, oh god, small jellyfish Pokemon (Tentacool, Frillish, Inkay) happen to be swarming randomly in these bodies of water. GANBATTE, VICTORY ROAD.
Effect: Friday, July 29: Haze - The forecast is misty inside and out on this oddly cool July day. Affected trainers will find it difficult to remember things, whether those happened long ago or just five minutes past. The memories aren’t gone, of course, it’s just…foggy.
Swarm: Sunday, July 31: Illumise and Volbeat

Okay! So, there's one road out of town, that's Route 29. It takes about three days to travel through until you hit the next city, which is called Cherrygrove. I can be in Cherrygrove in the blink of an eye, more or less, and I can backtrack on the route until we meet up. Roxy, while you're on the road, it's very important you not eat the berries you find, okay? They're for Pokemon only. If we eat them, they'll make us sick. [She makes a face.] Trust me on that one.

[As for her Pokemon? There's this cute pink thing in the background, eyes bleary with sleep. Looks like someone just woke up. Jane turns when she hears the creature's footsteps, smiling.]

Oh, yes! I assume she's new. Roxy, this is Dinah - she's something called an Audino.

[As for that last question...Jane tries not to frown. She certainly hadn't just seen Roxy at all - not since they went down that candy-coated acid trip, anyway. The rumbling had happened on the moons, and they had gone God Tier, and...well, that's an explanation for another day.]

I've actually been here for a few weeks. I don't understand it very well, but time is strange here. Folks show up from just about whenever.

[voidedgoddess]

[Of course Jane would know that first hand. Why wouldn’t she try random berries?] Do I wanna know that story?

Aww, she’s adorable. Audino is def new. I literally caught them all in the game. [And could probably still name them all.]

So...time shenanigans. Easier just not to ask.

Dinah - my Audino, she is named Dinah - shoved one of the apparently less bad ones in my mouth while I was making my way to the next town because I was stretching my provisions thinly. I'm pretty darn sure she did it out of concern, but it was like eating a candle and I absolutely do not recommend it.

[She just wants to look out for her BFFsie is all.]

I guess it's easier. I don't know, it's definitely weird, but I'd like to make some sense of it. Later, though - I should get ready to come and see you! I know someone over here HAS to have a bird Pokemon we can fly back on...

[voidedgoddess]

[Holy shit, that is an even more adorable image.]
Can't say I've ever tried wax, but I doubt its nutritional value. So don't spread rations to thinly. I think I can handle that.

But why would we need a pokémon to fl- [She thinks about it and concentrates on the void. She pulls for something simple, a pumpkin, and gets nothing. It might be a fluke, but...] Shit, we don't have our powers here, do we?

[cyan_maid]

Ah, yeah. We're powerless.

[SHRUG. Not like her powers did much anyway.]

[voidedgoddess]

[No, just heal and resurrect people, but whatever.]

That's lame. I had finally figured the damn things out. Whatever, I can totally handle anything this world throws at me, especially with my bestie.

[cyan_maid]

[Like she ever got a chance to do that before getting mindjacked.]

Hoo hoo! It's really not so bad, once you get the hang of things. Why, I'm starting to, and it's already better! I, ah, happen to quite like our new little friends.
