CASTELIA CITY

[paradisamods]

[Not long after sunrise, the ship docks in a large harbor on the edge of a great city.

Welcome to Castelia City!



Tall buildings tower over the landscape, and people crowd the streets as they make their way toward their destination. There are seldom any cars in the crowded streets, as many prefer to travel by bike or by foot, or public transit.

It seems the ship has arrived just as the city is waking up to start its day. With a city this big, one might need the whole day just to explore it.

The ship's crew thanks everyone for sailing with them, as it has been their pleasure. They certainly hope their sea-faring friends will enjoy themselves in the city.

With so much to explore, what will you do next?]


(ooc: The Pokémon plot has begun! Have fun and as always, thread-jacking is welcomed and highly encouraged!

[doublethefun]

[and...you've got a shiny Rapidash following you too. She's figured out that all the other humans look somewhat less interested when she's hanging out with a human.

Oh and that is the cutest egg thing ever.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade blinked when he suddenly sees this shiny rapidash and recognizes her as Luna. Since his journal hasn't dried yet, he takes the pen and writes in the air.]

'I can't get it to leave me be.'

[doublethefun]

[whoa, somepony who recognized her immediately. You probably get extra points for that.

There's a whinneying sort of laugh. She lowers her head to peer at the egg thing, gently nudging it with her nose.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[It squealed in delight and put it's little nubby arms on her nose, looking gleeful as it rubbed its face on her.]

[doublethefun]

[lmfao. Awwwww it's so cute.

She manages to give Jade a questioning look before turning her attention back to the cute thing. Hell, if it had a mane, she'd be grooming it right now, magic or no magic.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[It makes small chirping noises and Jade lets it sit on her nose, arms still on either side to make sure it could hold on. Togepi burbled and flailed its little legs with joy as it held on.]

[doublethefun]

[she's suddenly completely still, and sort of looking cross-eyed at it. Whatever it is, it's a baby and you certainly don't drop babies.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade sighed a bit and let it go when Luna sat still.]

'Do you have a clue what's going on?'

[doublethefun]

[and all he gets is an annoyed nicker. She certainly can't nod or shake her head when there's a baby on her muzzle.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade smirked a bit, though that was cut short. After realizing that 'papa' had removed himself more than two inches from it, the small baby animal began to wail again. Out of instinct to make it stop, Jade picked it back up, sighing.]

[doublethefun]

[heh. Welcome to parenthood, Jade.

She's tossing her head and giving him an annoyed look anyway.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Outwardly, Dhaos looks fairly calm, though a tad bit lost. If one were to pay very close attention though, they'd notice he was clutching what appeared to be a tiny, legless grim reaper rather tightly to his chest the way a frightened child might a stuffed toy. Rather understandable considering he's incredibly lost, and unable to use the magic that he couldn't remember a time he couldn't use it. Thus it is out of desperation that he decides to approach the man with the crying egg-creature and the strange creature that appeared to be on fire.]

Excuse me?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade turned to the man, raising a brow. Oh look. Another person forced to be a father by these little creatures. The pen tip glowed gold and the letter hung in the air.]

'Yes?'

[His charge burbled contentedly.]

IS THIS IN THE RIGHT PLACE???

[doublethefun]

[she looks at the newcomer and...man. What on earth is that thing?]

Probably?

[fistfullofmagic]

[Dhaos blinks at the floating letters, but nothing else. Not the strangest thing he's seen by a long shot after all. He decides to answer the flaming creature first.]

He's a Duskull, but he prefers to be called Baron Samedi. We're...a bit lost. [He stops to consider something.] If you don't mind me asking miss, what are you?

I don't even know, man.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'I believe we're lost as well.'

[Jade's gonna call the little thing Dist, because it wails at him a lot when he leaves, is dependent on him for everything, and won't leave him alone.]

[doublethefun]

[jerking her head up in surprise and staring at this newcomer a bit suspiciously]

I am a pony. [probably not the most useful answer you've heard. Then again, she has no idea what a Rapidash is.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Whatever disappointment he felt at the bespectacled man's words was quickly pushed back by curiosity at this "pony."]

You'll have to forgive me, I don't come from a place that has anything like ponies.

[This wasn't a strictly true statement. A unicorn and Pegasus both existed in the world he'd come from, but as he never got to see them he remained oblivious.

Baron Samedi meanwhile simply stares at the newly named Dist, possibly contemplating if it were food.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade watched the pony and Dhaos converse as Dist stared back at Baron, trilling happily and wiggling it's little arms at it. So long as Jade has it, it seems overjoyed to be alive.]

[doublethefun]

[glancing a bit at Jade, and then looking back at Dhaos.]

I am currently in the form of one of this world's creatures; I do not typically appear like this.

[fistfullofmagic]

I see. What do ponies normally look like?

[Seems you've captured his scholarly interest, eh Luna? Or maybe the ever-curious inner child. Regardless.

Meanwhile, the Baron, eye fixed on Dist, slowly brings his little arm forward to point at the little egg-creature.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[To which the egg creature replied by waving it's arms a bit towards Dhaos' Pokemon.

Jade has no idea what's going on with Dist or the conversation. This crazy man at least appears to be talking to Luna, but Jade can't hear her side of the conversation.

This new place is certainly frustrating. His journal hasn't dried out and he can't keep writing with fonons forever.]

[doublethefun]

Ponies are typically smaller than I am currently and have hair for a mane and tail. The overall body form is similar, however.

[not particularly in the mood for this, so she keeps her explanation brief.

She nickers at Jade, still trying to find out what the egg thing is.]

[fistfullofmagic]

I suppose I'll just have to wait until everything is back to...whatever passes for normal in this place. I'm sure you're even more beautiful in your true form.

[He then notices Baron Samedi is pointing at Dist.]

No, you're not allowed to eat it. We went over this before: no eating it if it belongs to someone else. [He looks at Jade.] I apologize for leaving you out of the conversation sir. I'm...not quite myself at the moment.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade blinked at her, then looked just as confused.]

'I've no idea what to do with it.'
