SLAMS INTO THIS
[What's this? Is this the spam of someone who has just discovered they can spam an entirely new group of people, and is doing so with the ease and aplomb of a master shitposter?]
[Enjoy the selfies, good people of Pokemon world. They all feature a tall, broad-shouldered guy and his Eevee, posing with all the mastery of kawaii addicts everywhere. Are there Snapchat filters in place? You bet your ass there are! The photographer seems to particularly enjoy the ones that add sparkles and giant anime eyes, with the occasional doggy or kitty one thrown into the mix. You know, to keep things interesting. The Eevee is clearly enjoying itself immensely, posed on the man's shoulders with its tail out in full fluff.]
[It's a little strange that the guy is wearing a red and black mask in all the pictures, and that all his visible skin is covered in scars, but you know, you do you.]
Out in the world
Oh look, it's the Eevee spammer. The Eevee in question is skipping at his heels, keeping up a running commentary of whatever comes to its mind. What's strange is that the guy keeps answering it.
"I know, Taylor Swift, I know. We're going to find a Pikachu. There's got to be one around here somewhere."
More Eevee chatter.
"Don't worry, you're still my best girl. You and Vanessa. She's going to love you!"
He seems friendly enough, if a little scattered. Help a guy find a Pikachu?
[OOC: one of Deadpool's abilities is breaking the fourth wall! Please let me know if you don't want him doing that to your character. I'll keep major spoilers out of it, and his ability to break the fourth wall is dependent on my own familiarity with your canon.]
SLAMS INTO WADE
But before anybody can get any hopes up about the possibility of a miracle Pikachu, a Hawlucha bursts through the foliage. It freezes briefly in a dramatic pose right in front of Wade, staring up at him like a
deerluchador caught in the headlights.Then, there's more rustling in the bushes - about three times as much, as if caused by something perhaps three times as tall as the bird. Also, some really heavy footfalls. Also, a voice, that shouts, "WHY WON'T YOU EVER LET ME SKIP LEG DAY!?"
And then Krieg bursts out of the shrubbery after Hermes. He wasn't expecting the bird to have stopped, so he's still going full-tilt. Unless Mr. Wilson has some lightning reflexes and employs some fancy footwork, Krieg is likely to slam right into this innocent bystander.
It'd be like a scene straight out of a shoujo manga, if both protags were meaty muscle boys who like to punch shit.
GLORIOUS
"You look like Hugh Jackman!"
God help you, eventual Hawlucha that Deadpool will catch. You'll be named Hugh Jackman, regardless of gender.
But then there's a more pressing matter, which is that someone has been skipping leg day, and that someone is bearing down on Deadpool like a damn juggernaut. Except hopefully not the kind of Juggernaut that tears someone in half and leaves them to grow their legs like a gross baby on the couch.
Deadpool has just enough time to brace for impact, but not enough to keep from getting knocked over. Turns out he might as well be wearing one of those power-dampening collars, because this hurts, but that doesn't keep him from yelling, as he goes down, "OH, SENPAI!"
You could've at least brought him a piece of toast. Geesh.

Well, Alec is resting in a lazy slouch, eyes halfway closed. Mimikyu, on the other hand, is flicking pebbles at people from a pile of pebbles that its stacked up onto the bench between it and Alec. Theoretically, Alec tells it to stop it, but he's not doing it with any sort of vigor.
[Alec is aware of the 4th wall. Personal knowledge of Deadpool canon is minor]
blake belladonna | rwby
I get that Pokemon actually like battling, but do they really enjoy staying in their Poke balls? It just seems like it'd be a little cramped in there.
...But I'm guessing it's just better to accept that this is how they are and not ask any questions.
action: cherrygrove city.
[ blake enters the city with her rowlet perched up on her shoulder, cooing softly. the air feels and smells so nice, scented with the smell of flowers and plants. blake also seems content, what with the small smile on her face as she walks towards the heart of town. her rowlet is in such a good mood that she coos at anyone who passes by in greeting, though blake looks over at her and pats her head softly when it happens. ]
Okay, that's enough.
[ she looks a little sheepish if someone looks like they want to interact with the rowlet! ] Sorry, she's...really sociable when she's in a good mood.
[ unlike blake herself. she's getting better, though. promise. ]
action: sprout tower.
A Bellsprout that's...100 feet, that grew because it believed in itself.
[ she sounds skeptical, and that's because she is. it's too good to be true. ] If that's really what happened, then wouldn't more of them be that big?
[ there's obviously some kind of lesson to be learned here, and she gets it, but it just seems like a very flimsy explanation for something that's supposed to be an urban legend. the beam swaying back and forth also makes her nervous, and her rowlet tilts her head, peering up into the tower curiously. blake looks over at rowlet. it's clear her pokemon wants to explore, but she doesn't have the badge that's needed to enter upstairs.
if she spots someone who looks like a trainer, blake will approach. ]
Excuse me. Do you have a Zephyr badge, by chance...?
Sprout Tower
[That story just went from maybe inspirational to really sad.]

Flayn | Fire Emblem: Three Houses
[This...strange and unique world still holds many mysteries for Flayn, but she has always been one to learn new things quickly, even if her ability to adapt is lacking. Still, you cannot say she didn't try, for today the 'gear is mostly centered on her face as she speaks! Progress!]
Good morning everyone! I hope this message does not wake you from pleasant dreams. [Flayn it's not an alarm clock-] Or perhaps you too have been awake since before the dawn? Ah, it matters little. I wanted to share my good fortune with you all!
[It takes some fumbling, but Flayn manages to properly show the setup beside her - a Good Rod, a pail of water, and a Popplio pulling itself up from the bank of the river which Flayn has cast her line. She giggles.]
Oh, Quintian, welcome back! I was just telling the kind people of this world about our morning! [More fumbling - she nearly drops the device - before it's back on Flayn.] We have been awake catching all sorts of fish and water creatures, and befriending them in the manner which is customary of this world! That is, in battle. In some cases it was not necessary, and now a majority of our new friends have gone to "the PC", but we plan on playing with them later.
[There's definitely a PC Box with Flayn's name on it full of Magikarp. 30 Magikarp in one box.]
This is not a problem - far from it. I have never been able to interact with what I have caught so intensely. But are there no fish in the rivers and seas which we are permitted to eat? I would not want to harm a friend, but the fish in the markets must come from someplace. I must know!
no subject
[Probably nothing.]
Now that you mention it, that...is a worthwhile question. I can't claim much understanding of where the marketplaces' fish came from if not the closest source of water.
(no subject)
[Vidya]
[Are they eating Pokémon, is that a thing.]
Maybe it comes from other worlds, like people do?

Fred Jones Jr. | Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated
Is it working?
[His voice may sound... vaguely familiar to some people, either by virtue of him being a cartoon icon for nearly 50 years or how eerily similar he sounds to a certain Ray Stantz. Regardless, the camera person[?] seems to nod, the camera jostling slightly and picking up the sound of rustling leaves.]
Great! Ok, so, my name's Fred Jones, and I woke up here about a week or two ago, and I've got a couple things I wanna say-
But gosh, first of all, can I just tell ya that this place is fantastic! I mean, it's a little weird that all these creatures are- y'know, real, or at least I haven't found any way to take off their masks if they are just guys in suits? But I guess they're just like Scooby or something. But they're even better- uh, don't tell Shaggy I said that- I mean, Scoob's great for helping make traps and all, just like all my friends, but dogs can't make vines grow and appear at will! ... Can dogs in this place do that?
[The Pokemon holding the camera shrugs.]
Anyway, I know I'm technically supposed to use those "Pokeballs" or whatever to catch new creatures, but that's no fun. So I've been perfecting trap designs with Audrey here [He gestures to the Pokemon holding the camera.] - she's a great listener, and learning fast! Can you believe she'd never made a pit trap before I got her? And now she's helped me make a ton, even with those leaves for hands! We've already caught something called a "Spinarak", who's been great help for making nets with spider webs!
Oh, uh, by the way, you might wanna be careful if you're going down Route 31. There's about... [He flips through a notebook, the tip of his tongue sticking out as he regards his scribbled notes.] Twenty-three traps in total- including some really nice modified Rube Goldberg-style setups using some scrap metal and a fallen tree I found. The rest aren't all that complex- I don't have enough materials yet, and this place doesn't have a TrapMart. Just some pretty standard snares and nets and pits. [Fred waves his hand dismissively.] Not my finest work, but it's good practice for my new friends!
... Right, and I was gonna ask- are there sharks in this place? I really want to get to making shark tank traps again, my dad confiscated the one I used to have after the time he walked into a trap I set for the guy stealing all of Crystal Cove's doorknobs, and he wound up dangling over the tank. So it's been a while since I've had a working shark tank trap and I don't wanna get rusty. Thanks!
[With that, he signals for Audrey to shut the camera feed off.
... Hopefully anyone who might actually be traveling down Route 31 right now will catch this video before they get caught in a trap.
But probably not.]

[...that probably explains why he has his machop in a baby sling clinging to his chest, then.]
But- eh, uh... that aside, I gotta wonder why some preppy ascot like you is so into making contraptions like this. Advanced hazing rituals? [He hopes so, because the only other thing that comes to mind is "murder".]

cw: implied parental neglect
Rhys | Borderlands
you know what this is one of the weirdest things i've ever dealt with
and i have seen A LOT of weird things
kinda thinking i hit my head and knocked myself out and i'm gonna wake up any moment with a psycho trying to rip my face off for a skin pizza party or whatever
and like what's with these weird animals?? i mean it's cute and all but how am i supposed to take care of it?
by the way i probably hit my head doing something cool like trying to save someone and i fell off like the side of a cliff or something
obviously i didn't hit it because i slipped on spilled coffee or anything
that would be totally lame
and can someone turn that music off?!
Goldenrod City
[ Yeah, okay, this? He can get used to. Rhys is still getting used to the whole "not getting shot at by bandits," but it's a welcome change. Sure, he feels a little bad about making his companion fight, but it doesn't seem too bothered by it... So it's probably okay.
Yeah. Definitely.
Anyway, the shopping? Hell yes. Eating nice food? Double hell yes, and no one around to mooch off his lunch. (Not that, you know, anyone would, considering he's the head of Atlas.) Life is good.
And then there's... the little guy currently begging for some of his food. ]
No. [ Whine. ] No.
[ And then it turns its puppy-dog eyes on Rhys, and he swallows hard. ]
Oh, come on, don't give me that!
[ Whiiiiiiine. ]
Not. Fair.
no subject
[Plus...people. Drifter's shitty ass apartment is here, and by extension, the dude himself. He's not from the right outer space with the right freaky aliens, but it's close enough and they can talk about the stuff Jack likes - weapons, mowing down space assholes, that kinda thing. And the dogs like it. All the freaking dogs.]
[Jack's got them all out today. Only the pair of Houndoom are leashed, Havoc to protect others, D.B. to ensure the freaking animal actually moves and keeps losing weight. He's never going to be slim, but Jack's determined to get him down to something that's not alarmingly gross. The three Furfrou, the Lycanroc, and the Mightyena are free and generally stick close by Jack.]
[Generally. Fudge'it the Lycanroc tends to wander off and then return, preferring not to be lumped in with the rest of Jack's brace, going and doing as he pleases and Jack lets him.]
[Which is why Rhys and his own canine Pokemon will find themselves staring down a midday form Lyncaroc with its hackles raised. This is an Unknown dog-thing, what is it doing here in Goldenrod? A howl goes up, and it isn't long before a well coiffed Mightyena shows up as well, equally interested in the new trainer.]
[Jack will be along when he catches up. He's in his fifties, his dogs move way faster than he does.]

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts
How do you brush a Shinx and not get electrocuted?
[Static shock is what Roxas is talking about.]
Do I need to wear rubber gloves???
Action: Goldenrod City
[When it comes to towns, the bigger the better? Or in this case, the higher the better. Roxas has been standing in the street as he admires the view of the department store. His Shinx sits beside him and seems just as interested in what his trainer is looking at. The Joltik nesting in the blonds hair seems more interested in watching people walk by.
How creepy is it to have 4 little blue eyes staring at you from a mess of gold locks?]
Action: Goldenrod Department Store
[Or you find the curious blond all the way on the rooftop. One would think he'd be looking down since he was so into looking up... but Roxas came up here specifically to see what the sunset would look like from a place like this. This time around his Shinx just waddles up to anyone that gets close, mewling as if asking for attention or a treat.
Will you succumb to how cute this little guy is?]
[Text]
There are many examples in this world's entertainment that promote the use of them when handling particularly difficult Electric Pokemon.
[She's talking about commercials.]
That being said, I do not think I have yet to see a Shinx. What do they look like?

The Joltik peeking out of his hair is enough to catch Steve's attention anyway. He points emphatically at the tiny Pokémon, narrowly missing Roxas himself.]
Woah. Dude. You look like you have six eyes.

Steve Palchuk | Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia
Route 35 (Just outside Goldenrod City)
[The screech Steve makes as he's forced to recall his fainted Mudkip sounds almost inhuman. It's more than high enough to hurt the ears of anyone within hearing range, and indeed the trainer returning their victorious Shinx is cringing pretty hard. Steve stomps over, and after a short, muttered discussion he slaps the winnings into their outstretched hand with enough force they wince again before Steve throws up his now empty hands.]
Whatever, loser. Next time I'll kick your butt myself.
[The fact that he's undoubtedly the real loser in this situation isn't lost on him. Steve's cheeks are a fierce red as he turns to make the short trek back to Goldenrod, grumbling none too quietly under his breath.]
Stupid cat. Shouldn't even have won. Everyone knows lizards are better. Urgh!
hi pal!: someone caught a death cold at the wrong time and is just getting to this
It's not long before he encounters a teen stomping in his direction on the path and he slows to a halt, Alice raising his wings like a cloudy parachute to help John in his abrupt stop.]
Hey! Did you hear a scream coming from somewhere around here? Do you know what happened?
Oh no! Hope you're feeling better now.
my brain is functioning and that's really all I can ask for
Bleeeeh, death colds. With luck you'll feel properly better soon.
romelle / voltron: legendary defender!
[ romelle absolutely adores all the little pokey-mans (as she likes to call them), and honestly? being here isn't all that bad. things could be worse. a lot worse, actually, which makes this all the nicer as she steps carefully into the meadow.
for a short period of time, she doesn't run across any pokemon. it's...awfully quiet here, all things considered. she gently pushes some of the tall grass aside as she steps quietly, eyes peeled for any pokemon in the area. ]
Now...where did you all run off t--
[ suddenly, as she pushes a tuft of grass off to the side, she sees a little friend and it makes her gasp in delight. ]
Oh! Look at you!
[ she clasps her hands together and grins. ] Aren't you just the cutest thing!
[ ...then, it blasts a jet stream of water aimed directly at her face. romelle yelps in surprise. she's drenched in water now, and she doesn't look very happy about it. ]
...Alright, I take that back. You're a pesky little thing, aren't you?
