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

[Did the pretty girl flirt back a little oh no??? TO THE BEST OF HER (not at all) EXPERT OPINION THAT SIGNAL FELT LIKE IT WAS KIND OF RETURNING SOME FLIRT.]

Thank you! It is much less round and small than I used to be. But I like it! Even if it takes some getting used to.

It's not pretty like you are, though.

[Gortys....]

[brokencode]

[Angel's cheeks burn brighter even as her gaze returns to Gortys. She can't help the giddy laugh, nor the thrilled smile that spreads across what feels like her entire face.]

[Without her father monitoring her contacts, it was easier to be genuine — to be friendly. Even in her private conversations, she was focused on being as serious as possible. Her companions back then were gruff, goal-driven Vault Hunters. There wasn't any time to have a laugh, and she doubted that a joke would have gone over well. Add in the morbid nature of mirth in the days leading up to her death...

[Well, as far as she's concerned, she's earned a moment or two of lighthearted banter.]

What were you before, Gortys? Can you answer me that?

[atlashugged]

I was a robot, built by the Atlas Corporation! You miiiight have heard of them? Unless you haven't, I mean, multiple universes. And also Atlas doesn't technically exist anymore, on account of everyone being dead.

[Thanks, Athena. Thathena.]

Atlas constructed me in secret right before they went under to find and open a Vault for them! That's, like... an ancient alien present box, except the present is a giant monster thing!

[YOU KNOW. NO BIG.]

[brokencode]

Atlas? Angel's brows rose. She certainly hadn't expected to run into someone familiar with her point of origin. The random people she had spoken to seemed to have no idea what Pandora was, nor why she was so surprised to have woken up in the town.

My... [She paused, the word 'father' sticking to her tongue, carrying with it a noxious sort of taste.] Someone I knew used to work at Hyperion. We were stationed over the planet Pandora. Have you heard of it?

[It was highly unlikely that she hadn't, given just how prominent of a presence Atlas had maintained on the borderplanets. But she knew just how sheltered a corporate entity could be. She wasn't about to make assumptions.

[atlashugged]

Of course! Pandora is where I was built! Is your friend named Rhys? Because if he is then your Hyperion friend and my Hyperion friend are the same friend!

[:D!!]

[brokencode]

Er... no...

[Angel cringed minutely, the very idea of being friends with Jack twisting at her gut.

You... probably don't know him. He wasn't a very good man. You seem far too nice to have ever come into contact with him.

[atlashugged]

Hm. I guess not! I don't really know mean people. But a lot of stuff went down at Hyperion before I woke up, maybe your bad Hyperion guy got caught up in all that.

[I mean... that's one way to put it, Gortys, sure.]

I'll be your Atlas friend, though! If you want an Atlas friend. Not a lot of us left to go around~!

[brokencode]

[It's hard to stay bitter around this particular bundle of joy. Angel's smile returns in full force, and she gives the other girl a nod.]

I'd very much like an Atlas friend. Just as long as you are okay with a Hyperion-related friend.

[atlashugged]

[Gortys will remember this!! :D]

Yay, first friend in this world achieved! It is nice to meet you, Angel!

[brokencode]

[And then smile grows ever wider...]

It is wonderful to meet you, Gortys. I am overjoyed to be your first friend.

[atlashugged]

Hooray! I am getting so good at this friend thing, even if my other friends are back on Pandora. I think that you would like them, though!

[Oh well.]

So what Pokemon did you get, Angel? [Her Beldum floats into frame. A good floating robot arm.]

[brokencode]

A lot of my friends are on Pandora too. [There's a hint of sadness in her voice, though she quickly buries it beneath a fresh smile] Perhaps they can meet and be friends too. That way they don't have to miss us too much?

The camera shifts, panning to the side and exposing a Mareep. The small sheep-creature chases after a leaf on the wind, desperate to catch her target.

She's cute, isn't she?

[atlashugged]

She is very cute! Did you name her? I gave Not Gortys a name, but I kind of panicked because I don't have any experience naming things. But I think they like it!

[Not Gortys makes a happy noise.]

[brokencode]

It's hard for Angel to control her laughter. She lifts a palm to her lips, doing what she can to muffle the sound. The name given to the creature is far too cute.

I haven't yet. I have no idea what to call her, other than the obvious 'Fluffy.'
