WEEK 7.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 7 Oerba Dia Vanille, Phi, and Gangrel have joined the deceased, dropping your number even further. This is the second week that the death toll has risen by three, just by way of murder alone. With well over half of your number deceased, how much longer can this go on? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... As before, it seems that door at the bottom of the stairwell has been unlocked, allowing you to descend even further into the depths of the university; perhaps the new floor holds something promising for you. Or perhaps you'll "christen" this one with another murder. Given the current pattern, that probably wouldn't be a surprise. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 12

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[...he just watches for a second, kind of entranced...]

You know, I hear in Kalos and Hoenn they just throw yarn balls at Pokemon for hours and they think it's the greatest thing in the world.

[elepe]

That sounds like a recipe for a tangled mess, you know. A mass of Pokemon, tangled into one another by the yarn...

[Despite what she says, however, she laughs a little bit. It's far more of an amusing concept to her than anything, really.]

Perhaps I could look into it, however. If they get bored of their current 'toy'. Is that something you have tried with yours?

[acherontiastyx]

Nah, it just came to me right now with you all playing with a coconut.

...

But I'm totally gonna do it and report back.

[elepe]

[Lusamine laughs at that, moving to get up.]

Could I trust you to watch my darlings for a moment, then? I shall go grab some, and we can see what happens.

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, no prob. Actually...

[he'll let out his own pokemon, then.]

We've got teams now. It's like the friggin' Pokeathlon up in here.

[elepe]

[Hello, everyone! God, Lusamine loves Pokemon, and she actually goes down there to give the crew some pets. Bug types are adorable.]

Why, I think that would be splendid. I should warn you now, however...my girls do not lose easily. I expect the same from yours, hm?

[acherontiastyx]

Oh, yeah, definitely.

[HOLY SHIT THE CREW IS SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. PETS!!! PETS!!!!!!]

Mine don't either, but I'm sure you know that.

[elepe]

[Who's a good gaggle of bug types, yes you are, yes you are--]

Of course. They take after you, in that regard. I would expect no less.

[Alright, let's go get a shitton of yarn.

...or well, rather, as the pile of yarn in her arms when she comes back is any indication--enough so that she kicks open the door, when she comes in--a fuckton. A fuckton is what she went with.]

I assume this will be enough?

[acherontiastyx]

Heck yes. Heck freaking yes.

[The Pokemon set the coconut down and turn to face Lusamine.]

Let's do this.

[elepe]

Very well. Everyone, into position!

[Here, Guzma, have some yarn, we're gonna be throwing this shit.]

On three, we begin! One...two...three!

[TIME TO TOSS YARN BALLS LIKE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT AND HOPE THE POKEMON HIT 'EM.]

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah! Awright guys, hit 'em back at me!

[time to get the jams going.

AND TOSS IT AT HIS ARIADOS FIRST... WHO... IMMEDIATELY GETS IT AND HITS IT BACK]

[elepe]

Let's go, then!

[Alright, Lusamine's gonna toss one right to Lilligant--and she hits it easily and sends it back! Good! Looks like this is starting off well...]

[acherontiastyx]

Alright. A few rounds 'til the rest of you go in!

[AND HE TOSSES ANOTHER YARN BALL!]

[elepe]

[Lusamine tosses another as well, watching them get used to the game itself. It looks like they're getting it!]

I'm quite surprised that Alola has not adapted this tradition for themselves! It's quite fun...

[acherontiastyx]

[all right. Now, toss one at his Pinsir and Ariados...]

Yeah, I don't really get it either. There's no reason we can't do it.

[elepe]

[One to Lilligant, and one to Clefable then!]

I wonder how the Tapus would react to such a thing. Perhaps someone could toss a ball of yarn into Tapu Bulu's chamber and see what the result brings.

[It's said with a bit of amusement, at least!

...though, she does toss a ball of yarn at Masquerain after she says that, smirking just a bit.]

[acherontiastyx]

Nah, Tapu Bulu ain't worth it. Too much work to get to, and there's no guarantee it's not gonna just do its best to roll over and go back to sleep. Maybe Lele or Koko would be a little better for something like that.

[...the Masquerain does his best to try and direct that one over to Misdreavus, then.]

[elepe]

Koko would probably respond well to it, if it didn't simply aim it back at the person's face. I wonder if Lele would use those scales to force it's playmate to play forever...

[Mismagius gets it, at least! After that, though...Lusamine's gonna throw one at all three of them, watching them kind of scramble to hit the yarn ball with a chuckle.]

[acherontiastyx]

...yeah. Koko... would probably be the best. Maybe Fini? Maybe.


[...RAPID FIRE YARN THROWING]

[elepe]

The effort to get to Fini in the first place would be a chore. Just pray you don't get in a fight with Koko.

[...yeah, you know what, rapid fire yarn is a go. Lusamine's team is doing it's best to pass back all of the yarn balls, but--

Well.

One just straight up hits Lusamine in the face on the return, and there she goes. Right on the floor.]

Ow--

[acherontiastyx]

...I really need to get something that can use good ground m...

[...DON'T... DON'T LAUGH. DON'T LAUGH. KEEP THROWING YARN]

...you. You alright there.

[elepe]

[why can't she have any tapus damned dignity in this place]

I am fine, Guzma.

[...she is admittedly pinching the bridge of her nose when she says this and it likely sounds silly.]

Pinsir can learn Earthquake, if you happen to come across a TM. Have you considered teaching him?

[acherontiastyx]

...yeah, that makes sense.

[...SUBJECT CHANGE...]

Man, though, it'd be great to have a fully evolved bug that's part ground, too, you know? There's gotta be one out there.

[elepe]

Perhaps you should make a field trip to another region and see what Pokemon you can find. I imagine there is one out there that fits your criteria. I believe there is a Pokemon in the Sinnoh region that I have read about that takes on a cloak of sand...

[But man, Mothim is so much better than Wormadam.]

[acherontiastyx]

...Oh, snap, wait, you're right. For some reason I always think the sandy Wormadam is Bug/Rock and not Bug/Ground.
