Testrun meme (November & December)

TESTRUN MEME

1) Harvest time! The Agricultural Tower needs a hand harvesting the crops. How is that working out for you and your Pokemon?

2) It's starting to get a bit chilly out! Snow is now blanketing the ground and as an unfortunate side effect Ice Types are now on a rampage through Union. They seem to be having a lot of fun, but it's inconveniencing everyone else, what do you do?

3) Soulfasting is upon us, and festivals abound. Residents have taken to one of the larger parks in Union to celebrate. There are delicious sweets, performances on stage and other spectacles. Some people from the audience are even being pulled up on stage! How are you celebrating?

4) With Autumn coming to a close, many trees within the Verdant Forest have shed their leaves into enormous piles. Unfortunately, this extends beyond the forest and into Union itself, and there is now a big leaf problem. You get to clean it up, have fun!

5) Wildcard! Come up with a prompt!

[divatheminor]

[ Were you hoping to get the snow shoveled? Too bad. Always looking for a chance to spread sorrow among the humans, Siren has convinced a Glalie to accompany her around town, using Blizzard to freeze every cart, carriage, or other conveyance they come across. Now no one will have a choice but to walk everywhere!! And given the sheet of ice blanketing the streets, they'll fall and hurt themselves! Oh, the delicious tears!

In practice, well....here's a Purrloin riding atop a Glalie as it spreads its icy terror, laughing in indulgent self-satisfaction. She's got one paw to her mouth fancy lady-style, and her delighted exclamations are in human speech. ]

That's it, Negatone! Freeze their hearts and spread the delightful sounds of sadness!!

[ She really is just too clever. She should get a medal. ]

[brandnewshoes]

[In the spread of icy terror, there is a sudden snowman. Until an arm comes up and wipes the snow out of its face, revealing an incensed Estelle. She sputters once at it.]

HEY! Knock it off with the snow and ice!

[The snowman is shaking its fist, too.]

[divatheminor]

[ Oh, no, did she upset someone? How terrible. She feels such remorse.

Except not. ] My, I'm sooo frightened. How about we frost those lips together next?

Negatone!

Glaaaaa!! [ The creature opens its fearsome mouth and lets out a blast of Icy Wind right at Estelle's face. Cold enough for you yet, human? Is it??? ]

[brandnewshoes]

H-Hey!

[She whines and yelps, pulling her head back -- until the frost suddenly gets her mouth. Her lips freeze shut and she looks most shocked. Then most annoyed. Then she holds a hand up!]

[And there's a fireball held there, which starts melting things and might free her in a second. Until she throws it near Negatone's feet.]

[She smacks her lips to free them.]

What's the big idea, you!

[divatheminor]

Wha - ah ah ah ah - [ Fire?! Fire fire fire fire!! As Glalie hovers back to avoid that shot, Siren scrabbles for purchase atop his head, claws digging into the ice before she finds her footing and calms down.

Er. Stays still. ] Hey!!!!! That was dangerous, you maniac!!

[ Outburst done, she sniffs. ] ...Well, whatever. If you won't cooperate we'll just freeze the whole street!

Lie! [ And here comes another Blizzard, blasting out at random to coat everything in snow and ice. Everyone who has a business on this street is in danger! ]

[brandnewshoes]

Wait a second!

[She calls up another fireball, this time holding it in place -- and that melts a lot of the snow and ice. She steps out, frowning, and then glowers at Siren. Then at the Glalie.]

Stop that! You're gonna freeze the whole street! Why d'you wanna do that?

[divatheminor]

Silence!

[ God, this woman is so....Siren's claws dig in again. ] Listen: I am the Songstress of Minor Land and Idol of Evil, Siren. And I'm going to plunge this city into sorrow, starting with you!

[ Glalie nods, not realizing this would potentially dislodge Siren from his head. She yelps again, and ends up sprawled on his head with her claws dug into his eyebrows by the time the ride is finished. But she looks up, gamely trying to save face by dripping smarmy wickedness all over the place. ] Any last requests?

[brandnewshoes]

Plunge it into sorrow? Th--that's not cool at all!

[She spins her freed staff around, then swings it out, pointing dramatically at Glalie. Maybe a little more dramatically than she would ordinarily.]

[She's getting into the moment.]

I'm not gonna let you do that! So my last request is to stop right now! I doubt you're gonna do that, though.

[divatheminor]

[ Siren smirks. ] Maybe you're not so stupid after all.

Take this! [ And she opens her mouth. Glalie does too.

Siren and Negatone used Round! ]

[brandnewshoes]

[It might be a pretty song, but it's also a sad one. It makes Estelle frown, her eyelids drooping. Her will to keep going droops -- and both of them joining in slams her backward, as if physically struck.]

[Ow ow ow.]

All right, that's it! I can't play nice!

[It's got a little less fire. Estelle leaps, staff spinning over her head. She jumps down, and tries to whack both with a quick swing of her staff!]

[divatheminor]

Aaaack-

[ Siren finally falls off Glalie, paws flailing in the air as she pitches forward; Glalie gets the brunt of the hit and grunts as he slams into the ground.

But rising to face Estelle in the aftermath isn't a cat - who did land on her feet, for the record - but a rather angry girl gathering energy in one palm, nails glowing. ] I've got no time for hecklers!

[ Siren. Scratch is. Not scary.

But here you go anyway, clawed hands raking at your face. Glalie lifts itself off the ground and shakes some loose snow off its head. Which way is up, again...? ] Glaaa.

[brandnewshoes]

Ow, ow!

[Scratch isn't scary but it stings! Estelle steps backward and scowls, before she suddenly thrusts her staff outward, trying to jab the girl -- a Shifter!? That explains a lot! -- in the ribs.]

I can do a lot more that heckle!

[divatheminor]

[ Sorry, but hit her once, shame on you. Hit her twice, shame on - also you. Siren sidesteps the blow with all the grace of, well, a cat, then tries to get some space between herself and this random lunatic with a stick like what the heck, the humans weren't supposed to fight back. Or spew fire. What nerve. ]

Eegh, you're so violent! Finish her, Negatone!

Glaaaaalieeee!!

[ Here comes Glalie, then, trying to bite down on Estelle with Ice Fangs! And Siren will.....watch. From over here. Yes. Yes, this is truly a vantage point worthy of ~the leader~! Leaders don't do, they delegate!!

Let that be a lesson to you. Whoever you are. ]

[wotter]

Miju!

[and that...is definitely an otter ice skating down the street, looking like he's fully enjoying himself. Gosh, but this is fun!]

[divatheminor]

[ ....For a moment Siren just stares, unable to believe what she's seeing. Is that - is that a smile? That's a smile, isn't it, you impudent little rat. Siren, that's an otter.

Oh, very well. She and Glalie float up to Oshawott, her tail twitching in anticipation. This creature will pay for daring to enjoy her attempt at havoc. ] Hello there, little thing~! Are you enjoying the cold?

[wotter]

[whoa! Where'd this thing come from? Oh, and there's a cat thing sitting on top of the other thing. That one can't be too important, right?]

Miiii, juma. Miju! [welll, sort of. Except he thinks that your ice is kinda uneven and you should really work on that! Kinda sub-par work there, Glalie.] Mijuuu. [and he's slowly shaking his head]

[divatheminor]

[ Siren is so pleased with her imminent cruelty that she doesn't even allow herself to be bothered by this twerp's critical opinion. The important thing is that it expects nothing. No one ever does, before betrayal comes.

Her smile shows off her fangs. ] Is that so? Well, maybe you'd like to enjoy it - forever!!

Glaaaaa! [ And that sure is an Icy Wind right to Mijumaru's face. Won't people be scared if they see an ottercicle? Won't they cry and quake in fear that they could be next?? She could almost thank this idiot for being so stupid!

Assuming it freezes as planned and all. But it's her plan, so it's perfect. They're good. ]

[wotter]

MII - [Mijumaru's squeak of surprise was dramatically cut off by Glalie's icy onslaught! And when it clears, there's a gleaming block of ice, entrapping the poor Water Pokemon who...actually might look more angry than scared.

Enjoy the sight while you can, but that sure is a crack appearing in the ice.]

[divatheminor]

[ Unfortunately for Siren, she's too busy gloating to notice such minor and unimportant details as a crack forming in the ice. Why should she be worried about a crack in the ice? ]

Ah~ahahhahahahaaaa~! Serves you right, you airheaded little -

[ Wait.


A crack in the ice? ]

[wotter]

[and boom, here's a newly freed otter!] Miiiju... [shaking his head to get the rest of the ice off, he's definitely complaining. That was cold!

And he's looking up and glaring at...Glalie.] Miju! Miju ma! [what was that for??? All he said was that your ice making skills kinda sucked!

Siren, do you even do anything?]

[divatheminor]

Lie... [ It's Glalie's turn to look confused, and a little bit self-conscious. He's pretty sure that what just happened proves he's really good at making ice....

The Purrloin with him, however, fluffs up in indignation. ] Honestly....silence!!

[ Cat has a pair of lungs on her, apparently. She's yelling at Mijumaru with half the force of the Blizzard. ]

[wotter]

MI - [Mijumaru falls over from the gale force winds, twitching a little. Is this a new sound attack??]

MIJU! [nope, little guy doesn't stay down long. He's already on his feet - and hopping up onto Glalie's head. One arm taps at the shell on his belly for emphasis.]

Miju miju ma!! [hey! YOU'RE the loudest one around here, ya know!!]

[divatheminor]

W-what do you think you're - ah - - [ Oh god otter in her personal space. Siren's back legs slide down Glalie's back, front paws digging in so she doesn't totally lose ground to the intruder. Glalie, unsure what to do, endures this indignity. He must be strong.

Siren is now dangling off Glalie's head, front claws etching grooves in the ice while her back paws kick for purchase behind him. Nothing about today is going as planned at all. ]

A - a - a - ah...

[wotter]

Miiiju. Mi jujuju...

[gosh, you're so lucky he's such a great and magnanimous and cute otter. He could knock you right off three foot drop this dangerous precipice with a Water Gun! But no, he's a good Pokemon and instead, he'll just lecture you on much more wholesome things to do! Like naps. Naps are great and you should obviously nap more because you're super grouchy. Like really. Who rubbed your fur the wrong way? 'Cause you're going to learn Explosion if you keep going on like this.]

[divatheminor]

[ Siren is finally back atop Glalie! And she takes a deep breath, then lets it out with a loud gasp. She could have - well, not died, she's a cat and those always land on their feet - but that was almost really bad! ] Haaahhh....

[ Okay, she's cool. You've been talking, though, huh. Probably just as well she wasn't listening. ] Y--- [ A pause to calm herself. ] Oh, I don't care anymore. Negatone!

[ And up goes a paw to try and shove Mijumaru off the Glalie. ] Finish this simpleton!

Gla! [ Said simpleton has to fall first, lady. But Glalie's totally ready if that happens! ]
