Kallisto • The Creed Posts: 199 Trainer Class: Player Name: Remmiel Briggs OOC Username: Peony Arena Points: 10	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Kallisto on Nov 4, 2023 1:02:21 GMT 9 Kallisto said: Hey, I know it's been a while since you've been online, but I'm just sending a message in case you come on. I'm at the new region, actually, in Ostellia. Somehow one of my Pokemon found something that'll give us access to somewhere deep down. At least, I think it's deep down. Could use someone to watch my back, if you're game. Kallisto didn't dare take another step. Wind whipped around him, creating noise that rattled whatever loose ends were hanging on their dear life in the mess of the Nexus. Rust was everywhere, a sea of decaying browns and reds, mangled with the gray of its old self, mostly covered from sight. The player was standing in front of a long girder, and beside him were two of his Pokemon - Aegis and Ballista respectively. The large penguin was mostly for cover, but if the beams proved to be too unstable to support their weight, he would have to return him to his Pokeball. The fire rat, on the other hand, was still unevolved, so he was light enough to run with the little likelihood of tripping anything. He was mostly here as a light source and support. Either way, they were not going to go much further until the other party showed up. A red dot on his map blinked insistently, located somewhere beyond the girder to another entrance into the abandoned buildings. Based on the quest, he was meant to use the keycard that Pierce found there. That cat managed to have the best luck (or was this not a lucky instance?) <Master...> the whining of a deeper voice didn't seem fitting for the large penguin, but Kallisto understood. This place was unnatural and terrifying. There were no Pokemon in sight, but they were not alone. His Pokemon had already told him of catching glimpses of something moving, but they were unable to give a clear description. He had yet to see any of this for himself. ❝I know, I know. We need to tough it out, otherwise...❞ The parasite was behaving so far, as quiet as the buildings that surrounded and closed in on them. He hoped it would stay that way. Barely any sunlight reached this place, with the only indication of the outside to the right, across other fallen beams that they would not be able to reach even with the Aviator subclass. ❝If worse comes to worse, I'm bringing you back in, alright?❞ <I-I refuse!> the large penguin was trembling, <We are in this together.> <What he said. This place gives me the biggest creeps, but we're not going to leave ya behind.> Kallisto took a deep breath. ❝Thanks.❞ he couldn't help but smile a little then. Checking the friend's list, he could see that they were going to have more company. ❝Get ready to move out.❞

odile • The Tempest Round 2 Posts: 125 Trainer Class: Player Name: Claudia Kingsley OOC Username: mar Arena Points: 20	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by odile on Nov 4, 2023 23:19:27 GMT 9 It was nice to see that people still remembered her. The small hiatus wasn't really in Odile's plans, just a product of real life. Work had picked up, and long hours at the studio wasn't really that compatible with putting on her headset for UNOVR. It was only now that Odile was given some time to breath before the big holiday rush, and the "break" was mostly that she knew the Nutcracker forwards and backwards from doing it every year without fail. She had been slightly nervous when she logged back into the game (hated that she missed the big con, there was so much information on the Reddit she was going to need to read over) but that one message from Kallisto settled those fears. At least there was someone, and looking back, of course it would be Kal. The closest person she could call a best friend. Her smile lasted through the whole message as Odile read, nodding to herself. Ostellia was open. Time to see what was going on. Do a little bit of catch up. odile said: I'm definitively game. You'll see me there. Thanks for the invitation Kal. It had taken her a bit of time to refamiliarize herself with the systems, the UI, even going so far as to rearrange some things to make it easier. All the meanwhile she was buzzing like some Bug Pokemon. Ostellia could finally be explored, and Kal had even found something to go deeper into the region? Sick. What a way to return! She was going to see him, she was going to see all of her Pokemon... oh it was going to be such a great time. What was the place like? She remembered some speculation on the place, but had no idea how right or wrong people were. One way to find out. Her map had blinking red dot, leading her to the location. Ostellia was... incredible in its own way. A giant, abandoned city with skyscrapers that really lived up to the name, scrapping the skies above. So... lifeless at first glance. And second glance. There wasn't even some Pidgey or Pidove chirping around. Maybe there was some more Pokemon in the actual buildings? Had to be right? Hiding away, awaiting someone to find them. Her wrist flicked as Mercurio, her beloved Frogadier, was sent out of his Pokeball. The reunion was sweet, and he was more than happy to see her, hopping onto her back (was he heavier than she remembered?) as Odile explained the situation. <We're going to see him again? I hope our friends are doing well.> The frog mused, earning a pat on the arm by her. "I'm sure. Let's not keep them waiting." Eventually, after a wrong turn or three, she was there. A place that was giving her the creeps. It was so... dead, if not for the little bit of life that was in front of her. "Kal!" Odile shouted, pace picking up as she waved at him, and was that Aegis?! He was just a Prinplup back at the raid! A grin blossomed on her face, effectively launching herself at Kallisto for a hug, Mercurio clinging tightly to her as to not get thrown off. He coolly leaped off and onto the floor, looking up at the other Water-type starter. <Long time no see friend.> "It's so good to see you! How have you been? Look at Aegis! He's gotten so big...!"

Kallisto • The Creed Posts: 199 Trainer Class: Player Name: Remmiel Briggs OOC Username: Peony Arena Points: 10	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Kallisto on Nov 9, 2023 0:34:44 GMT 9 He remembered smiling when he saw her message; a part of him was worried that she wasn't going to bother replying, or even open it for that matter. If she never went back online, he wouldn't blame her, as it was really just a game and real life took priority. Nonetheless, if anyone had stakes in this game, Kallisto felt like Odile was more passionate about it than he was. Well, those thoughts could be quelled now, since she was here online somewhere. They set up a time to meet, and that brought things back to the present. He didn't expect the shout, which reverberated on the old walls of the building. Still, it was good to see her so chipper and looking like how he remembered her. Aegis also raised a flipper, noting the Frogadier that was clinging on to her. Unfortunately for Kallisto, that was not all of the surprises that Odile had in store for him. It didn't register quickly that she wasn't exactly stopping when she approached him, and before he knew it, arms were around him at what felt like a bear hug, and for a moment it felt like he short-circuited. Okay, he had dated before, had some flings here and there, but a relationship never really stuck, and he had been rather introverted the past few years. In other words, this was the first hug-like interaction he had gotten in quite some time, and even if it was virtual, he could still feel all of its warmth, and it overwhelmed him briefly. He was unable to return the hug but didn't push her away, trying not to let his mind flood with only thoughts of: she's so close (as if he hadn't carried her during the Thunderfall Raid, but that was different). ❝C-could be better, could be worse.❞ he responded noncommittally, ❝Glad to see that you're doing well. And yeah, managed to evolve him before heading in here. This place is supposedly dangerous, after all.❞ (was the heat on his cheeks evident in the poor lighting? Please God he hoped not). On the other hand, the Empoleon was chipper and ignoring the awkward situation his trainer was in. <Good to see you too, friend!> it might be possible to note that his voice had gotten slightly deeper, if one remembered how it originally sounded like. <How'd you find this place so far? Master and I have yet to see any other Pokemon. Have you?> ❝I also have the keycard here.❞ Kallisto fished it out of his pocket. Most of the print was faded save for the big black bar that stretched across it and a few random letters and numbers. ❝We can move out as soon as we're ready. I have a bad feeling that we might get stuck in there for a while until we finish the quest. It just has that vibe.❞
