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

[brokencode]

[The churning in her stomach grows as she lifts her eyes. Her heart picks up the pace, shooting bolts of fear from her chest to to the tips of her fingers and toes. Run, her thoughts scream. Run now.]

Dad? Can I hang up now? I want to rest...


She's not above hanging up on him. Confused and frightened as she is, if she's ever going to make a decision, she needs to sit down alone and think.]

I'll wait at the entrance. I promise.

[thedifferencebetween]

[He really doesn't want her to. They used to be in pretty much constant communication. He misses that. He's gotten so used to her always being there...and having her back now, it kills him to think of cutting the feed. But he needs to get moving and she does need to rest.]

...yeah, okay baby.

You just wait for me. I'll be right there, I promise.

You'll be home and safe soon.

I love you, Angel.

[brokencode]

[Angel stares into the pokegear, at the digitized image of her father. After a few seconds, her hands move, stumbling about as she puts her pokegear away.]

[Something feels off about his last words. It wasn't too long ago that they were the key to her prison cell, a sign of more torment to come. They had lost their meaning long ago.]

[Angel fumbles around in her backpack more, anything to occupy her time for the next half hour. Her fingers brush over the small box of food that she had discovered earlier, and then over the small wad of money. She casts a baleful glance toward the woods, then sighs in defeat.]

[Beside her, Mareep paces. Her eyes are locked on Angel, who swears that the little animal is concerned of all things.]

What shall we do? Angel doesn't expect much in the way of a response -- how could an animal ever understand her struggle?]

[But Mareep, apparently not one for Angel's rationale, begins to sprint off. Just a few yards later, she turns back.]

Mari! [The pokemon's cry is small, but Angel understands well enough. With a nod, Angel picks up her pack, sliding it over slim shoulders and securing it around her]

[There would always be a side of her that wanted to have her father back. But the man she had spoken to wasn't him. As far as she's concerned, that man died years ago.]

[And she meant what she had said. This was her new start.]
