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

How does a chicken breathe fire?
It makes little sense.

[ownd]

What does it look like?
Do you have any pictures?

[fuelthefire]

[He's so glad you asked, Zer0. Please enjoy this video feed of one (1) tiny Torchic:


It's hopping, peeping, and frolicking happily at Krieg's feet. It's kind of a funny-looking little bird, but otherwise totally innocuous. Also, currently it's not setting anything on fire.]

[ownd]

Oh. It's very cute.

[He opens his own feed, revealing his honedge.]

Look, I found my sword.
A pokemon to call my own,
or so the guide says.

[... Is Zer0 making a joke?]

[fuelthefire]

[The feed on this end flips to frame Krieg's much less cute face - mask and all - his visible eye narrowed slightly as he studies the small sword with the eyeball in its hilt.

When the assassin speaks, a stirring thought echoes quietly in the recesses of his mind: So it is Zer0. I thought the haikus sounded familiar.]

Shining sharp supple steel slides smoothly, slices swiftly, silences screams and SLAUGHTERS SOULS!!

[It's a good sword; Krieg likes it, too.]

[ownd]

[Zer0 waves, his gloves cut open to allow a fourth finger that he didn't previously have extend out the side.]

I thought you'd like it.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Hello again, Krieg.

[The honedge just looks on, a little awkward. It's not sure what to make of its trainers speech patterns, either.]

[fuelthefire]

[His eye widens briefly as he notices that extra finger, but once the sight is processed (it only takes a second or so), it's dismissed as unimportant to their current state of affairs.]

IT'S TIME TO SHANK AND SMILE.

[It's good to see Zer0, too!]

The murder train derailed and the tracks are gone and I can't! Find! The station!

[Somebody's lost.]

[ownd]

[Yep! Zer0 has pinkies now, and apparently an olive skin tone. It appears to be about the only thing that's changed with the strange being.]

Have you tried the path?
Look around, there's only one
leading out of town.

[Zer0's near the exit to town, on route 29, but he's willing to wait for his old ally.]

[fuelthefire]

Wrong path! Wrong way!

[He rolls his eye, and his head jerks to follow as his gaze moves beyond the video feed. Despite his words, he's looking over at the path Zer0 just described. What he wants is a way back home, but if Zer0 doesn't know one, then he'll take the assassin's suggestion instead.

After a moment, he jerks his head back to look at Zer0 again.]

Find the meat, feed the frenzy!

[He shuts off the feed. He's on his way!]
