TESTRUN MEME

1) New Years Celebration! There are fireworks all over the city! And that means your Pokémon are probably hiding under the bed. No matter how big they are. What do?

2) There's been some heavy snowfall and the connecting bridges are overloaded. They're really slick and icy and need to be plowed for safety. You and your Pokémon have been selected for this "honor". Have fun!

3) With the winter coming, the Hot Springs have been overwhelmed by an abundance of monkey Pokémon. They've been attacking citizens who are trying to soak in the pools and it's creating a big problem. Go resolve it!

4) Caldera has been working on a project to restore some of their fortifications, and that means they need strong trainers and Pokémon to help carry and work the stone and metal. Time to help out!

5) The Tropical Island has become something of a destination in the wintertime, and it's getting really crowded. Some Pokémon researchers need to conduct studies on the volcano but the throng of tourists is simply too much. Help clear a path!

6) Wildcard! Make your own prompt!

... i LoSt...

[The voice that comes out of Mikotsu's mouth is definitely not cute. It sounds strained and parched, but she stops midway and decides, hm.

She pulls up her left sleeve and starts drawing in the sand, making curves and dashes of lines with her index finger. In time, her hand withdraws from the sand and Sinbad can see a cartoon of a fish skeleton.]

[He blinks in surprised at the rough voice. Guess she never got a chance to speak much? That seems kind of sad if that's true]

A fish... bones? Is it some kind of charm?

[He questioned as he kneels, examining the drawing - it would be odd if she were looking for literal fishbones]

[greatredsea]

[She nods. Sure it was a charm. She had an affinity for the dead and assisted often with the sending rituals of the Blue Sea Clan. It was a precious gift.

Mikotsu stands up and wanders around, looking for it again. Though now and then, she peeks over at Sinbad to see how he'll react. Whether he'll just leave her here or not.]

[conquerorofwaves]

All right! Badr!

[He calls out, and soon a Dratini slithers over]

Since you're a faster swimmer then I am, how about you go in the tides, and see if this fishbone charm got carried out. While you do that, I'll be searching the sands, okay?

[The Dratini looks at the drawing, then at his human in confusion - then at the girl... and seemed to sigh before nodding]

[greatredsea]

[Oh. Oh, she hadn't considered that. She hadn't considered that the fishbone charm could have gone out into the sea. Actually, she wished her damnest that it wouldn't have made it there... then searching for it would be nigh impossible.

As if on impulse, she starts running over toward the waters, stumbling in her steps. The possibility hadn't surfaced. But what if.]
