Event Log - Total Recall

[lucetimods]

Who: You and you and mostly me and you
What: Everyone's been Shifted in their own way
When: A hero doesn't care if this event last a whole ten days
Where: Everyone can blaze a hero's trail
Summary: It's that special time when the Malnosso collect all their recent experiments and apply them all at once to measure effectiveness. Although invaluable as research, it tends to leave the subjects looking just a bit mad.
Rating: Rated H for HEROIC

So there is a mod post and it pretty much tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. This is a mass log for people to comment around on if they don't want to make posts. Or even if they want to make posts anyway. There will be at least one more of these later in the event! ENJOY!

DAY 1

[infinitefrown]

[This. This is NOT normal.



Did they decide he didn't have enough facial hair or something?! They didn't have to turn him into a freaking bearded otter for that! What use is there in this, anyway? Are they trying to make a point? (Who is they, anyway? Ingo, be more specific with your complaints.)

Well, whatever. Let's just find a body of water to dwell in for now-- that's what Water-types prefer, and the bath probably isn't big enough for the oversized Samurott that Ingo has been transformed into. Moving on four legs sure is troublesome... but in this form, two legs is probably MORE troublesome. Sigh.

So, a giant samurai otter with Distinguishable Sideburns will be slowly making its way through the village towards the rivers and lakes. Once he gets there, expect some very straightfaced Ability Testing, a.k.a. Sporting Around With His Shiny New Water Powers.]

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[The only hint that something is coming is a sound that is similar to a woman singing.

Then, within a moment, Silver the Flygon flys right over Ingo. A little too close to him, probably. Fuck yes, flying.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Wait a minute, what's the blue thing he just passed? His efforts to stop and turn around... Are met with him doing a series of ridiculous and awkward movements involving circles and general flailing around because how I wings and flying before hitting his head on the ground and falling right on his back. Ugh...]

[infinitefrown]

[Being too busy trying to find a good angle to hold his head at(this armor helmet thing is so weirdly heavy), Ingo suspects nothing until Silver goes whizzing straight overhis head. adhfs OH GOD IT'S A HOENN DRAGON please don't impale yourself on his helmet horn what is happening--

....And then there was a fail landing. Oh. Welp.

It's probably safe to approach him now, right? Come to think of it, he hopes they can even communicate-- he hasn't tried to speak yet.]

Are you unharmed? That was quite the derailing.

[tsuntrader]

[Wow, ouch. Whatever, he can handle it. He does get up and turn to look at- what are you. And why do those sideburns look so familiar.]

...Yeah. I'm fine. [That voice sounds kind of familiar. ...Kind of. Pokéspeak is so weird.]

[infinitefrown]

Ah, good. [Using a Pokémon's vocal cords and language is really, really odd. But at least it works!]

Along with that-- judging by your landing maneuvers, might I hazard a guess that you have not been a Flygon for long? [whether that means by "evolution" or "stupid body change."]

[tsuntrader]

I'm pretty sure a couple of hours doesn't count as a long time.

[hark_a_suicune]

[You're right, Ingo. Water-types do like water.
Which is why another water-type apparently had the same idea as you! Something big, with a long purple mane and a clear blue body... and which would probably look quite majestic if it weren't really bad at controlling its feet.
So bad, in fact, it faceplants and sort of does a barrel roll before being able to reach the bank.
...
Yep, now it's stuck on its back. CAN YOU RESIST HELPING THIS POOR PITIFUL CREATURE, INGO]

[infinitefrown]

[Wh-- What. Geez, Suicune, you're not in the air, why did you press Z or R twice?!

Wait, the barrel roll isn't the problem here. It's the whole Suicune thing, though Ingo doesn't really think Suicune is supposed to cavort about so and pretend to be an upside-down Carracosta. (Then again, Samurott aren't supposed to have sideburns, either.)

So, swimming back up to the bank... Ingo will attempt to roll the poor thing over with his helmet-horn... thing. (Using the flat side-- don't wanna poke a hole in the creature on top of it being stuck.) This may end up accidentally dumping Eusine into the water.....]

[hark_a_suicune]

[Even from his upside-down position Eusine can notice that's... quite an intimidating Pokémon there. Intimidating, AND unknown.
But of course he is Suicune so what does he have to fear-
what-
what are you doing
flail flail roll
SPLASH!
Fortunately, the water here is pretty shallow, so it's not like he risks drowning. Can Suicune even drown? Who knows.]

H-hey!!!

[... but of course, this is pokéspeech, so it probably also sounds a lot like UUUWAAAAAAUUUGHN or whatever Suicune's cry sounds like.
(As Eusine would tell you, it's actually closer to "UUUWAAANGLN")]

[infinitefrown]

Ah. My apologies. [Despite this apology, his expression remains the same.] But you can stand, now.

[Objective accomplished!!]

[hark_a_suicune]

[SPLASH SPLASH FLAIL SPLASH oh wait, he IS able to stand now! Thank you, kind stranger-
... wait, that voice is pretty familiar.]

Ingo?

[infinitefrown]

Correct. [His frown and facial hair still match, too.] ...And I suppose that makes you Eusine.

[hark_a_suicune]

[He was too busy flailing to notice the frown and sideburns, but now that he can actually look at them... Yep, it makes sense. Wow, his deduction skills really are amazing! sparklesparkle]

That's right!

[And he takes time out of his busy schedule of looking proud of himself to observe you from head to toes. So curious.]

This is a Pokémon from Unova, isn't it?

[infinitefrown]

Yes, naturally. [Of course, he'd be a Unova Pokémon.] It is [He is?? uhh...] a Samurott, a Water type and the final evolution of the Oshawott line.

[osha-what]

[hark_a_suicune]

Osha... wott?

[unova pokémon names sure are weird]

I've never heard of that Pokémon before. What does it look like?

[does it also have a ridiculously oversized conch helmet? because just look at that thing.]

[infinitefrown]

Ah, it's... quite smaller than this one, and white and light-blue colored... It stands on two feet and has a shell on its stomach that it uses to attack. However, it doesn't gain this.. armor.. until it evolves.

[There ya go.]
