Sep. 8th, 2014 06:34 pm-Alright, what's all this I'm hearing about strange Pokemon appearing? Besides the cats and dogs, of course, that was absurd, but I've been in Cianwood since then and I've seen neither hide nor hair of anything out of the ordinary. If any Pokemon that looks like a Fire-type shows its face, I want one, I'll pay handsomely for it! Money, a Larvesta egg, Pokemon from the Safari Zone, name your price.
...Oh. And if Burroughs sent you a strange letter from my Pokegear earlier - I found out, and told her to knock it off, so that's that, I suppose. But she seemed to think sending it around would dispell bad luck, and now she's fretting day in and out about it. Does anyone have any advice on that...? I fear she'll take the Gear hostage if I don't, um, placate her.

[Alright. Okay. It's been a hell of a day, Johto, hope you're all still intact. Walter is, though not for lack of trying otherwise - he's drenched, and exhausted, and one of his legs is a giant bruise, but he is alive and currently inside and has something he needs to talk about.]
There were goddamned sharks flying around in the air out there.
[He is half-slumped in a chair in the lobby of a Goldenrod inn, a wet Houndoom collapsed across his lap - in the background, the rattle and howl of the weather outside is still audible, and the view out the window is dark.]
Sharks. You know, the kind with the teeth. Being blown around. [He runs a hand back through his hair.] I thought that was supposed to be fake? But no, there you are, dragging timbers in the driving rain, and you look up and where but into the maw of a giant fish.
What a world this is.
[now if you'll excuse him he needs to go punch lugia or something]

[The way the video comes on immediately makes the post seem...clumsy. The camera shows a view barely two inches above the ground, tilting slowly, loud scraping and clattering noises being recorded as the Pokegear is dragged across the ground.
Text appears along the bottom of the video, typing itself out one letter at a time, starting a few pixels too far to the left, looking as clumsy as the rest of the video. Each line writes over itself, deleting the old text as it goes.]

repeat you are doing what
you will explain
[Whoever's moving the Pokegear doesn't heed the text - or can't see it, maybe. There's some inhuman tittering offscreen, before the Pokegear is finally lifted upright and the culprit comes into view - a Wurmple, inching ahead of the Pokegear with a loud Wampa waa!
And here's what's going on: they're in a meadowy kind of area (with muffled Violet City BGM playing in the background), and though the camera takes a while to get to where the grass isn't blocking its view, it eventually lands on a Skarmory sitting in the grass, eyes wide and talons drumming impatiently on the ground. There is a band of shiny white String Shot around her midsection - and on her back, tied down to her and facing her butt end, is a Larvesta that is slowly shedding sparkles.
Wa wam wam!
The Wurmple in front of the camera bounces up to the Skarmory and swivels to face the 'Gear, rearing up to "stand" and gesture with her nubby little feet. (There's an answering wampa from behind the Pokegear, and it raises with her, capturing more of the scene.
The Wurmple rambles on for a few seconds in...Wurmple-ese; something about "bold new innovations" and "adventurous spirit" that has the Skarmory and Larvesta visibly vibrating.]

The Wurmple inches off to the side, and the Skarmory hops to her feet, jogging off into the distance.

And then
with a FFFFOOOOSHH

The camera swivels to follow her, but she's out of sight in seconds, just a flickering spot of light climbing higher and higher as it spins huge circles over Violet.]

Jun. 8th, 2014 03:21 pmDamn but it's been a while since I've done this.
Three Pokemon for sale! Togetic at level twenty-eight, a female, cheerful, name of Beatrice. A Happiny at level twenty-seven, sweet but a little spoiled, female as well. Answers to Mary. And then an Altaria at thirty-six, a male, a little scattered. Name me your price and we'll haggle it out.
On the road again at last with hardly a care in sight. I'm the last you'll hear complaining about a life of traveling freely but lately I've had the feeling of turning a wheel over and over when it's not firm on the axle. Traveling and winning battles and having the money to continue doing so but where are we going after all. Once Pokemon are at the hundredth level can they really grow no stronger? It seems disheartening. I hope that spells out nothing about humans. I shudder to think I could look up and into the future and see a wall where an ever rising road could be.
I've languished these past weeks and only of my own failing. Come and gab and have me make a friend of you. Or a rival if you'd rather.

[Video switches on to Walter's sleeve...and something tugging at it, as he chuckles. It tilts up, and the owner of the appendages appears to be a very focused Drifloon.]
What are you doing? [The grin is audible in his voice.] I don't think you can do that. I'm too heavy. [Floooo! Hush you, he's gonna try.] Ha...look at this. [Addressing the viewer now.] Where are you thinking of taking me, eh? Humans don't fly.
[There's an unholy gurgling noise off screen, and Walter turns the camera to capture this...corpse-like monstrosity being harassed by two other Drifloon, twitching and wobbling on its long legs as one tries to get a hold on one of its rotting arms and the other pulls on an eyestalk.] And that thing certainly doesn't.
[The Drifloon on his arm Flooooo!s again, and-] Hoy, where'd you come from? Going to help too? [The camera's still turned in Pisaca's general direction, but even as it wobbles, there's another blotch of purple...and another...and another.] Wait, I don't think - hold, you. I - whoa - hoy! [The camera suddenly lurches amidst indignant yelling and weird hissing, then spins; then, with a thud, the Pokegear hits the ground, facing up.
There they go. Human and demon, carried away by small balloons. The last thing the 'Gear captures is a Houndoom and some other thing standing over it, staring up at the sky with twin cries of confusion and dismay ("Boss what!"/"Masssster...!")]
[Action]
[THIS THING SMELLS LIKE HOME AND NEW FRIEND CAN COME TOO but holy shit, small balloons are very lost. So they'll be stopping here and there to ask directions to the underworld.
You can catch Walter (and the demon but why would you) either on his way down or while on the ground, looking...well, like you'd expect someone who's been abducted by balloons to look. He's got a few of them thwarting attempts to flee while the rest interrogate the local ghosts. PLEASE ASSIST]

Apr. 18th, 2014 06:42 amFar be it from me to turn down a challenge you miserable runt. [....Well, that's...promising.]
Here friends, what do you think of this? There's no such thing as birthright that's recognized by nature, and it's a notion the weak use as a trick to keep themselves in power they didn't earn. To hear a person claiming they're you're better when it's clear they're helpless on their own, that's plain foolishness, isn't it? And yet there's worlds where such ineffectual men are kings and the people are made to believe that it's natural and just for the throne to grant power alone. And they suffer for it because when the king is weak he must resort to underhanded means to ensure nobody's more powerful than him.
But that doesn't have a damn thing to do with this world because it doesn't work like that here. So who else thinks that anyone who crows about their title in this world is only fooling themselves? Pokemon give power where it's earned by effort or skill. Where it's not, the unfit can't rise to where anyone would suffer beneath them. And the rest of us are free to show them their natural place when they think their hollow claims to good breeding make them any better than another. A place in a pool, for example.
[...That should probably offer a clue to what this unabashed craziness is about, if the fact that it goes up about ten minutes after a post from Saionji doesn't give it enough context. I'm...I'm sorry, guys.]
[[ooc:bertall will be hosting the Totodile/Skorupi/Joltik egg post tonight - thanks, Danny!]]

Mar. 13th, 2014 04:48 pm[Aaaaalrighty, network, Walter's got a pretty straightforward question to throw out there.]
Over the weekend I found a...dragon? [It looks dragony. He points the camera at the not-very-ferocious-acting Aerodactyl in question, who is lying on his side in the grass, a Volcarona fluttering above him and two Wurmples inching furiously after each other around and over the dinosaur's resting form.] ...in my PC, the way you find Pokemon whose trainers have returned home. But the trainer listed was "Laguna", and...well, I know he's long gone. I found one from him the same way before winter began, and they recognize each other.
So who's gone now that's had a dragon named "Riley" all this time?
[Beep. Hopefully that was to the point enough that someone will know and respond.]

He pans the camera around as he begins the post, and when he gestures during it, he appears to already be holding a few movies that may look familiar to a discerning eye...]
There's so damned many. Hoy, can anyone tell me which of these might be good? Might as well be casting into the fog...
[There's a woof. Walter looks down (and the camera tilts with it); his Houndoom is delicately carrying his own selection.] Sure, why not? Your guess is as good as mine. [His Skarmory comes trotting up to and offers what the hell is that] Hold, you.

Dec. 26th, 2013 11:33 am[The post starts off normally enough; Walter flips on the video and starts talking right away. He's got a small Chimchar sitting on his shoulders, arms around his head and dozing quietly, and Pokemon in the background seem to be busy with something - possibly cleaning, from the looks of it.]
To anyone who knew Ramza, he disappeared from Johto over the weekend. I know he'd want to be certain his Pokemon fare well in his absence, so-
[He's interrupted for a moment by a harried-looking Drapion, who taps him on the shoulder and hands him a Pokemon egg. Walter takes it from her without thinking, continuing with his sentence.]
-if you've found one from him, make note of it. He'd a number of Skarmory, a Houndoom, a Purrloin, a-
[The egg jolts and cracks, drawing Walter's attention. It hatches almost in an instant, leaving a flopping Magikarp.
...and a suddenly wide-eyed trainer.]
HGAAAGH!
[The 'Gear goes flying, the Magikarp goes flying, from the loud sounds of things crashing into each other it seems like Walter has also gone flying, and there are Chimchar yelps and frantic Drapion yells to accompany the storm of loud, indignant (but a little high-pitched and unnerved-sounding) swearing that starts up.]
-OF ALL THE FOULEST DAMNED THINGS-!!
[A Skarmory beak grabs up the Pokegear and shuts it off with an unconcerned chirp.]

Dec. 5th, 2013 10:13 pm[Walter starts talking almost immediately after turning on the recording, sounding tired but as though his message was prepared ahead of time.]
You're the king of a country, and you hold a great contest - or a game. One man who comes to participate is very tall, and strong. Would you let him compete as any other, or bar him from the game to even those others' chances?
A man comes to a remote village, one that's remained as it is for a thousand years. He brings with him technology that would change life as the people know it, bringing them comfort and luxury. Should the village send that man away, or accept his gifts?
The person you love is gravely ill, doomed to sleep and never wake...you've tried every remedy you can imagine, and there's nothing left at your disposal. Would you tend to them for the rest of your life, or let them die naturally?
[He goes quiet, not sure what to follow that up with. The radio, playing tinnily in the background, switches to a holiday song that's been on at least five times already today.
...Yeah, that bears asking about. In just as tired a voice, but a much less rehearsed one:]
What the hell is Christmas?
[[ooc: canon update to end of first route split, complete!]]

[SO FOURTH WALL BEGINS and everything goes straight to stupid. Walter has no idea where he is, so all he can really do is...wander around trying to figure out where he is. His Gauntlet is apparently functional (and his sword and pistol appeared for him to pick back up), so in addition to his ever-faithful Houndoom, he also occasionally has a demon following at his heels - the eerie Macabre, the feathered serpent Gucumatz, the hag Yomotsu-Shikome, the Goetian demon Orias, or perhaps the giant Wendigo.
This is a catchall - pick a place, any place, and Walter can be there.
...but on the 25th, he's landed himself in a little bit of a pickle.
Around midday, the National Park north of Goldenrod finds itself...plagued. ( image safely behind a link - cut for slight description of gore, just in case )
It's hard to tell, the monstrosity's expression frozen as it is, but it seems...happy, actually. It's skittering around the park like some kind of terrifying, unbalanced zombie bug, clouds of pink gas streaming from its head as it bellows "YASO-MAGATSUHI!!" in a tone that sounds either endearingly excited or downright terror-inducing. Whatever he looks like to the startled bystander, Yaso-Magatsuhi is indeed very happy - he hasn't been outside in a very long time, and has been aching for a chance to stretch his legs. He's made some friends, too! A giggling crowd of Bellossom and other Grass-type Pokemon are trailing after him, some climbing up onto him and squealing with delight at the ride around the park, all using Sweet Scent in imitation of his billows of pink gas. None of them really seem to care about any alarmed people or Pokemon nearby; they're too busy enjoying the day outside.
...But about that gas; it's spread throughout the National Park, filling the air with a faint pink haze that grows thicker the closer to the center of the park you get. It has a oddly sweet scent, but its effects may take a few minutes to kick in if you're not right up in Yaso-Magatsuhi's face.
The effect is a little different on everyone, but in general, breathing it in makes you feel...good. Giddy, even. Maybe dizzy. Definitely more easily amused. And probably a little silly and uninhibited. It's enough to make you forget that you should get out before you do something embarrassing. The local Pokemon seem pleasantly dazed, too. Since it's in the open air and not in an enclosed space, you won't pass out...but that might not be a good thing, especially since you'll probably remember whatever you did while high as balls. (Excepting whatever memory loss happens by the event end, but the gas is not responsible for that.)
This video better illustrates the gas' effect and Yaso-Magatsuhi's appearance. No plot spoilers for Shin Megami Tensei IV as long as you stop the video when the player character blacks out.
Not knowing what he was getting himself into, Walter had charged into the National Park intending to dispatch a demon...but now he's seated on a bench, almost sprawling for the carefree way his arms are thrown over the back and he looks about to fall off. The bench isn't too far into the cloud of gas, but he's been in the park long enough to have gotten an elephant's dose of the stuff, so by now he's just...sitting there and kind of giggling to himself.
Well then.]
[[GIMME ALL YO' THREADS but I also thought Yaso-Magatsuhi might be fun for people who don't want to tag Walter specifically, too SO FEEL FREE TO HAVE OTHER THREADS IN HERE IF YOU WANT. I could have made a Y-M account and tagged to the big log but ehhh, effort. And anyone who gets close enough to him to be able to interact with him is probably going to be too happy-gassed to care anyways, so!
HAVE FUN, FRIENDS]]

Nov. 22nd, 2013 11:42 pm[It's about noon on the 22nd. Image: Walter sitting outside the Celadon Gym, though it's just a stretch of wall and some bushes visible so it's probably not recognizable unless you're pretty familiar with Celadon's BGM.
He looks confused.]
...If you're barred from a Gym, they can't...they can't keep you from returning at a later time, can they? I want that badge...

Nov. 1st, 2013 11:13 pm[Sometime around noon on the 31st, a short, simple, and very jovial-sounding post hits the network.]
Good morrow! [A quick muffled "hah!" of exertion, like he's jumping or throwing something.] ...And what a damned good morrow it is; sun bright, weather fair, and I'd say we won that battle back in there.
I don't suppose anyone else is planning to celebrate their victory? [Said in a joking drawl.] It seems to me a fine day to feast ourselves to si- [A quick thud and bark.] -damn- HOY! Orthrus-!
...Haha!
[Click.
C'MON GUYS WE JUST PUNCHED OUT SOMETHING LARGE AND THREATENING. LET'S GLOAT AND TALK ABOUT HOW AWESOME IT IS THAT EVERYTHING'S BACK TO NORMAL.]

Oct. 28th, 2013 11:39 pm[Walter tries to stick with Ramza. They get to the gold blue door just fine, and retrieve their Pokemon (Orthrus is very happy to see his master), but then they just...lose each other somehow.
Dammit.]
[On the 26th, Walter is exploring the second floor. He's not touching anything in the orchard, but he can be found staring around curiously in the Crystal Study or Star Chamber...
...or raiding the Armory, in search of a sword...
...or, towards the end of the day, lying in the dungeon. Someone touched the armor. PLEASE HELP.]
[Lesson learned. On the 27th, Walter gets his sword back (avoiding the armor trap) and sets out to explore again. He waits around near theblue GOLD sigil door for someone to help him with that one, not knowing that he doesn't have a Pokemon in that room, then sets out to look for the room that matches his own pink sigil. Where the hell is it...?
Looking for someone, pink sigil or otherwise, to go hunting for the secret passage to the Fairy Bedroom with him.]
[On the 28th, now in possession of all the Pokemon he can find, Walter can be found just about anywhere - chilling in the Master Bedroom (a mild act of spite), poking through the library, giving the odd writings in the wall suspicious glances. Those writings in particular he's affording quite a bit of scrutiny, lingering in front of them in attempts at sounding out the words, which he may or may not give up halfway through.]
[The 29th is more or less the same as the 28th except he's getting really antsy thanks to the worsening changes to the castle.]
