fusion error - action for everything and also disaster for national park
[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. Something that is decidedly not a Pokemon has appeared in the park - something that resembles a giant, grotesque head, its flesh torn away on the left side of its face and an odd, bony protrusion spewing a pinkish gas from the diseased-looking creature's cranium. Its body underneath the head is a pulpy red mess that it carries on a litter, fleshy hands bearing up its own weight by the handles and spindly legs hanging over the edges to propel itself totteringly along. (This is a picture, but it's kind of freaky-looking so if you get squicked by zombie-ish stuff you may not want to click. I'd say it's only a little grosser than Attack on Titan-type stuff, but it does have...a bit of a startling quality to it, so I made it smallish and linked to the imgur display page instead of the whole image.)
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]]

Flynn looks beyond, and simply stares for a few moments, taking it in. The buildings are tall, just like Tokyo's, but instead of being large tombstones like Tokyo's, they were...livelier. Livable. Well-made and not falling apart at the seams. The land of the Unclean Ones didn't seem so...unclean in this way.]
Meant to look like...
[A Tokyo with a brighter future (or past). From his experiences in Tokyo, it didn't take much for him to sympathize with them and their plight, despite the cultural difference between them and their party.]
...It's so different. I wonder why.
[...Yes, that much was obvious, Flynn. But the mystery of the Firmament and Tokyo is still just that: a mystery.]
