 Round 2: Drink Till We're Offline
#Buzzedness #Winning #Badass The Round 2 party is starting where every good party starts: in the garden.
There are plenty of cheesy snacks laid out on the tables, there's lawn chairs to chill in and chat, and even a 100-cup game of Poké-Pong set up (see below).
C0D13:Chadwick, the Round 2 Guild Leader, is busy greeting people as they arrive, offering them fist-bumps, man-hugs, and the obligatory red cup full of dark, dank beer that he pours fresh from the ominous, truck-sized keg that his friend found in the woods. The keg is shrouded in a thin miasma, obscuring its shape, and it appears to be bottomless!
"Here ya go bros and bro-ettes! Take a cup, take a load off, and just chillax," he says, handing you a drink. "We're still waiting for more people, but once everyone's here we'll open up the house for the scavenger hunt!"
Details- The house is currently off-limits, as are the woods surrounding the mansion.
- You can post as many times as you want this round.
- You can only play Poké-Pong up to three times each round. Once per Pokemon you brought.
- You can upgrade skill trees during this challenge, and if you started with less than 3 Pokemon you can catch more and add them to your team.
- Consuming alcohol in UNOVR prompts a health and safety warning, and (if the player is under 21) the drink is changed to a non-alcoholic beverage.
- The forest beer on tap at this party has NO SUCH WARNING, and players can consume it regardless of age.
- Each round there will also be a Challenge Prompt hidden somewhere within the post. These will increase in difficulty and obscurity as the party progresses.
StatsAll players have three new stats for this dungeon: Buzzedness, Winning, and Badass.
Each of these stats are on a scale of 0-10, with most players starting at 0 in every stat. But how do you raise these stats? Well that's simple!
You raise your Buzzedness just by drinking! Smash some black beers with the boys. Take a couple of dank, forest-brew jello shots! When you take a drink (containing forest beer) your Buzzedness increases!
Finnegan Fjord Tuesday orioncayge Bergamot Gristleborg Laguna Ruby Yggy Br00ks Moon Bunny h0lyn3v1l Furrlicity Purrfection all gain +1 Buzzedness for their commitment to Responsible Drinking.
Being a Badass is a little harder to quantify. Nobody truly knows what it means to be a badass, but we all know badass behavior when we see it. So that's why I'm leaving this one up to the players. If someone does something worthy of points, tag them in your post and include the hashtag #Badass!
Winning is for those who excel at the party games Round 2 has set up around the backyard. And the first game is: Poké-Pong!
Poké-Pong! Poké-Pong combines the organized, rules-based drinking of beer pong, with the rock/paper/scissors element of the Pokemon type system.
The game is simple:
- Pick a type (Fire/Water/Grass etc). The types you have available are based on what attacks your Pokemon have access to. You can use each of your Pokemon once.
- Roll the dice (1d100). The type grid above is numbered 1-100. The square you land on if the type your attack will hit!
- Drink! (Probably)
> If your attack is NOT super effective against the opposing type, take 1 drink of the forest beer!
> If it IS super effective, then tag someone else and they have to drink instead!
> If you manage to hit one of the squares with the Round 2 crest (the sick, blue shield) then hold tight, you will receive a special 'prize' at the end of the round.

"God. That's sketchier than the beer at our frat."
Finn glances at Tuesday before returning his gaze to the miasma-wreathed beer keg. No warnings have popped up about the alcohol, and he's not sure how to feel about it. Maybe he's just dismissed that warning enough times that they've stopped asking?
Man, I hope not. That'd be pretty bad.
"Scavenger hunt, huh?" He's easily distracted away from that by the POKE-PONG. "Aw, hell yeah. Get over here, guys, we gotta try this."
He gestures to Furrlicity Purrfection as well as Tuesday.
While MUDKIP and CROCONAW both use their GROUND-TYPE moves (Mud-Slap, Mud Sport), his SHINX eagerly bares her little fangs and tries to CRUNCH on one of the cups.
"Uh, I don't know if you're allowed to-" But it's already too late.

She stands at no more than 5’2”. Luscious golden locks sway with every movement, cascading beautifully over her shoulders. Eyes of ruby and sapphire scan her surroundings with thoughtful scrutiny, watching the scene around her as if fascinated by it. Atop of her head, the cutest cat ears are perked up, alert, and behind her a fluffy tail lightly sways. She is, in every sense, adorable, and when she speaks up, her sweet soprano rings melodiously through the garden:
"Bro. This is like… frat-party-meets-comic-con. No, no, wait, I got it… Frat-party-meets-LARP-sesh. Ha! Nerds."
Okay, so maybe cuteness doesn’t really suit Tuesday.
Appearances can be deceiving, even if there is no deceit in the way she smirks up at Finnegan Fjord when he suggests playing some POKÉ-PONG – sharp, playful, and utterly Cheshire-like in nature.
"Damn, and here I had plans to go start my new virtual apothecary career and sell our Round 2 bros some grass for some quick bytes." Literal GRASS, mind you. As in coming from a grass type. As is perhaps made clear when Tuesday shows Finn and Furrlicity Purrfection one of the little transparent bags containing some of her Petilil’s leaves – grinded up and made to look surprisingly like something much different and of questionable legality. At this point, she winks. "You know what they say: Weedle make you high."
Naturally, she puts the bag away immediately, into one of her dress’ many many pockets.
"Buuuuuut that can wait until I kick your sorry asses at this POKÉ-PONG thing."
Unlike Finn, Tuesday decides to start off with a single one of her pokémon: putting a boot on her Whirlipede and pointing at the literal hundred solo cups.
”Alright, Chariot. ROLLOUT, baby.”
And roll Chariot sure does… fast and somehow managing not to mess up the cup formation too much.
ho_0vR811-100
WHIRLIPEDE (ROCK)
Tuesday is still figuring out this whole "type effectiveness" thing, and so the only reason why she knows she landed on a "win" is because all the bros watching the POKÉ-PONG game exclaim in excitement.
Totally meant to do that obviously.
Nothing to see here.
"Bottoms up, kitty cat." She tells Furrlicity Purrfection with the most smug grin, said lovingly from one cat person to another, obviously. Tuesday is very sweet.

Once, the joke would've flown over his head. But he's been playing an emulated version of the first Pokémon game in a bid to relate to everyone else's nostalgia, and he understands what a Weedle is. He scoffs at Tuesday, playfully narrowing his eyes.
"Shut your Meowth," he fires back. Then, curiously, "Can you get high off that? Have you tried?"
He aces the first round of pong (thanks, Caiman), but overconfidence leads to ruin.
Two drinks in, he hopes the forest beer isn't poisoned or some shit. |

Oh yeah it was on. Orion was a scholar of the party, born into it, molded in it. Other posers had merely adopted the party, he'd lived it his whole life. Rolling up to the crib he found himself flanked by his crew. Achilles fresh from the desert, fur looking fresher than a coat of paint and walking with the swagger of a doctor from some obscure Russian cartoon. On his left shoulder was Loki, his Hisuian Sneasel wearing a pair of those Kanye West Shuttershades and a snapback. Atop his head was his Dewpider, Arachnae, who'd stolen his Bandana and had it carefully draped across his water bubble looking positively DRIPPED up. The Fighter himself was in a not very flashy outfit, simple black jeans, black tank over the chest, and his backup bandanna carefully wrapped around his forehead. Frat bros got fist bumps, the ladies got a nod and a smile, and it was fingerguns all around as he schmoozed through the party. HIs first stop was the mysterious keg booze, which obviously was taken with no fear or trepidation as he threw it back and gave @chadwick a fist bump. "Cheers bro.""CHEERS!" His pokemon echoed, though it was doubtful that the large man could understand them. TTo capitalize on the spooky forest juice buzz he was starting to ride, Orion would fetch a Red Taurus from the drink table and have Loki poke a hole in the bottom of the can, shotgunning it with minimal drippage, and then smashed the can against his head before tossing it into a recycle bin and heading over to the Pokepong table and sideling up next to Big Bee who appeared to have beat him to the spicy punch so to speak. "Ay homie!" Orion would call out, dapping the man up. "Help Meowth here, how do I get to sloshing drinks in other people's directions? I pick a homie and have em toss the ball?" Raising an eyebrow he would scoop a pingpong ball and hand it to Loki. "Punches for spike punch less go."1_HXZfB51-100Loki with a Rocksmash 1-100 |

A proper and not at all subtle shrug comes as response to Finnegan Fjord’s, the catgirl’s golden tail swaying from side to side. ”No clue!” She admits with a radiant and confident grin, but of course, she elaborates for the sole sake of it:
"You’ve never watched Scarface, dude? Don’t get high on your own supply."
Finn must have watched such an iconic movie at some point or another, right?! Even if he hasn’t, Tuesday is sure he must have heard the quote before. After all, the irony of saying something like that to him doesn’t escape her at all – it’s what makes it so damn funny.
It’s also why she whispers to share her next comment: "Between you and I, though? Figured it might do some fucked up shit, so I was thinking of using a couple of these dumbasses as test subjects."
She smiles as if nothing, and just like that, her attention returns to the game just in time to see orioncayge join in.
"This is all messed up, though. Everyone knows drinks are better chilled." Whirlipede is called back with these words, and her loyal Cryogonal is called back in its place. "Ancile, let’s play it cool."
If Tuesday had sunglasses, best believe she’d put them on after such a sick play on words.
Naturally, what comes next is the Cryogonal’s SHEER COLD.

"Wait... What do the shield ones mean?"
Is there some other pokémon type she's not aware of? Seriously, this game has way too many of them.

"Oooo, missed it by that much," Big Bee said to orioncayge. "Wait. Did you? Ground is good against rock right? Not the other way around. I always get that mixed up." He took a drink, surprised at how odd the forest beer tasted. Not unpleasant, but a bit like...mildew? Maybe that's just the powerful, simulated yeast flavor.
Big Bee was about to try his Luck when Tuesday beat him to the punch. "Ancile, let’s play it cool," said the player, before one-shotting one of the bonus tiles with an unmistakably #Badass Sheer Cold. "Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" He turned to Orion. "We can't be one upped by those guys. Here, hold my beer and I'll show them how it's done."
He handed off the drink to Orion and picked up Jam, the Baby Groudon, carrying the little monster as close to the board as was feasibly allowed.
"Now, just like we practiced, okay?" he whispered, arms full of wriggling Jam. Big Bee adjusted his hold until the little legendary was facing the board. "Aim for the middle," he coached "that way it'll be closer to more squares and I can tell Orion I was just one square off."
Jam took aim, opening his mouth wide, as if he were about to dispense a brick-sized pez. He burped, and a splat of mud hit the board dead-on.

"Ah damn it!" he announced loudly. "So close! We were aiming for eighty-two, right Jam?" 1d100 |

Furrlicity was absolutely not paying any attention to anything but the snack table.
Chu-e had many a blight on his bloodline. The terrible, debilitating disease that ran rampant in his body was just one of them. He did not consider this the worst of them, even if joints ached and it caused him great turmoil to get out of bed some mornings. It was also not the mental illnesses that had been dumped down his throat, though the autism was a perk in many situations. No, the absolute worst curse on him and his family was.... the terrible lactose intolerance.
All the best foods had milk. Do you know how much it pained him to keep a carefully controlled diet to avoid spending all day in the bathroom? Or worse yet, when he was at work and busy kneading wonderful flavors into bread he couldn't eat himself? Torture. Absolute torture.
Much like Furrlicity's body was improved physically over Chu-e's, his digestive cycle was as well.
So, Furrlicity was busy cramming whatever cheesy snacks he could into his mouth. With no risk of spicy bathroom time! This was the DREAM, PEOPLE!
He didn't even know that Tuesday had gotten him to drink until some of his guild mates had to sadly pull him away and put the odd brew in his hand. Oh, he knew that look. Micheal was looking at him with pity. This wouldn't lead to an intervention, right?
Anyway.
With the risk of comforting words and worry, Furrlicity downed the drink and joined the gaggle of Players.
"What are we doing? Beer pong?"
His eyes glazed over as he looked at the colorful mess. A mini-game prompt popped up but he closed it without a second glance.
"I'm shit at this game." Yet he was going up to take his own turn. A pokeball at his fingertips called out his Shroomish- the off model pokemon smiling with evil intent as the cowboy hat on it's fat head hung low. "Nightshade, see what you can do."
The Shroomish giggled and tried to take down a cup with a Bullet Seed.

H0LYN3V1L pulled up to the party with the confidence of someone who had, in fact, been invited to parties before and was definitely not nervous at all. Not even a little bit. “Okay, okay we can do this. You got this. It’s just a party and we are the king of parties. Yeah. That’s it.” He mumbled to himself. Next to him Snivy gave a loud snort which earned him a gentle kick. “Shut up. It’s showtime.” H0LYN3V1L stormed up to the gate and spread his arms wide. “Don’t worry, I’m here! Time to get this party actually started.” When Chadwick offered a fist bump H0LYN3V1L stared at it a moment before grabbing his fist and shaking it like the world’s worst handshake. “I know, you’re very excited to see me.” H0LYN3V1L grabbed the offered cup and wandered off. For a moment H0LYN3V1L took the time to look around and be in mild awe of the partying around him. It was just like he had seen in the movies and he immediately felt like everyone knew he was just a lame sixteen year old and that just wouldn’t do. He wasn’t Jacob right now, no, he was H0LYN3V1L, hero to all, strong and competent and super hella cool. “You call this a party? This is how you party!” He yelled and immediately threw back the weird forest beer. It took everything in him to withhold the shudder at how gross it tasted. <Damn kid, alright, this I can get on board with!> Snivy cheered next to him. H0LYN3V1L gave a slightly pained smile back before storming over to the pong table. “I am going to destroy this. Snivy! Don’t mess this up!” <Wow, you were cool for a whole five seconds. Whatever, dweeb, move outta the way.> Snivy jumped up on the table. <Let to cool kids show you how it’s done.> Snivy cracked a vine whip in the air before directing it at the cups. Both Snivy and H0LYN3V1L held their breath as they watched where it landed. W3mnAxHv1-100
Snivy uses Vine Whip <Damn.>H0LYN3V1L frowned. “You suck.” and he took a moment to prepare himself before throwing back another drink of sketchy forest beer. It didn’t taste any better the second time. He gave another shudder before turning to the guy next to him. Okay, no worries, he could recover from an embarrassing defeat. He just needed to endear himself to others. Easy. H0LYN3V1L wasn’t intimidated at all, most of those muscles were probably fake anyway. “Hey. Hey you, catboy." H0LYN3V1L took a moment to pull up the player's game ID. " Furrlicity Purrfection What do you call a Meowth’s reflection?” H0LYN3V1L waited a beat before smirking, “a copycat.” Next to him Snivy scoffed <booo that sucked> and without looking H0LYN3V1L palmed Snivy’s face and pushed him off the table. 1-100 |

It had been a long time since Alex had been to a party, but she was determined that Alice would be a frequent party-goer, if only because parties were where the players were. So with Stella skipping along beside her, she strolled through the party, ignoring NPCs for once, in favor of approaching the player group gathered around what looked like... beer pong?
Okay, first things first - beer. While she wasn't a huge fan of beer, she did like getting buzzed, sometimes a little too much when she was a little younger. If she were lucky, maybe this wouldn't taste as sour as every other beer she tried. She grabbed a cup and let the keg fill it halfway, taking a sip and shrugging before filling up the rest. Beer was beer. She could tolerate it.
"I assume beer pong as is simple as it seems?" she said aloud to no one in particular. "I've never actually played." She hadn't exactly been a partygoer type during her short run in college. She made a noise of surprise as a little pop-up appeared on her user interface and she was able to see the directions for what she was supposed to be doing. "Okay, I get it now. Alright, Stella! Where'd you go?"
She twisted and found her Chikorita lying quite happily nearby, but he got up and trotted over to her at the sound of his name. "You just vibe everywhere, huh? Well, it's time to wake up - Stella, use Razor Leaf!"

"... Mom, do we really have to?" Ruby sighed heavily, looking out over the crowd of people that had already gathered. She had attended a few parties back in college, but she had always been the person who slipped away to a quiet corner to spend time with the dog or the cats, or even just read a book.
She was entirely out of her element.
"Of course, darling. You have to get out and socialize with your siblings sometimes, dear!" Mom spoke, standing tall with a large covered tray in her hands. "Why, I tell you. When me and your father were younger, we used to dance the night away together at all kinds of concerts and parties! We had the dancing fever!" She laughed, a wide grin on his face. "Oh, but it wasn't terminal. I became a bit of a homebody after your father got trampled during a rave."
Ruby's eyes grew wide, what a completely random way to inform her of something terrible!
"Oh, but he lived. Your father would go on to do so much with his life! But I tell you, I got quite familiar with the directions to the hospital, hoo hoo!"
She effortlessly carved through the crowd of party-goers, placing the massive pan onto the table filled with cheesy snacks. With a dramatic flair, she whipped off the lid to reveal an absolutely massive pie! Its smell was absolutely delightful! Smelling almost like... Pecha Berry?
Ruby still didn't understand how she even fit such massive foods into the oven, but it certainly was impressive. She stood awkwardly by the woman's side until she began to get gently pushed by the loving mother figure. "Go and try and have fun, Ruby. It's okay to be shy, but you can't let that stop you! Talk to them about their Pokemon, I know you love seeing the cute ones your brothers and sisters bring home, just as much as I do!"
She finally sighed, giving Mom a polite smile and a nod. "Alright, alright, I get it. I'll get out of your hair. I'll see you later Mom."
And with that, the young pink-haired girl slipped away from the snack table and began to aimlessly wander. They were still outside, and there wasn't really anywhere to hide.
But she did have her cute friends with her at any point she wanted! She was still getting used to that. Summoning her Munna, the adorable Pokemon rested right on her shoulder and instinctively gave Ruby a gentle nuzzle. That definitely made her feel better.
Aimlessly wandering, she watched as Alice! 's Pokemon participated in the Poké-Pong and paused in thought. They managed to hit one of the shields so effortlessly! It wouldn't be a bad thing to try and just play along, right?
"Oh, c'mon Murmur, let's at least try one shot at it, yeah?" The sleepy Munna floated forwards, lazily rolling around in the air. And promptly did... nothing. Just floating and rolling slowly, yawning audibly.
Ruby awkwardly looked around, laughing a bit nervously as she looked over at Alice! once more. "Heh, sorry if we're taking up your space. She's just a bit Drowzee, heh. Like, uh, drowsy- Okay, uh nevermind. Sorry." With a furious blush, Ruby looked away and focused her attention solely on Murmur. How embarrassing.
"C'mon girl... do something. Oh right, I have to tell you what move. Uhh, Psybeam?" Sure enough, the Munna rolled into action almost immediately!

Orion sighed as he took a cup and knocked it back faster than a fat kid on a seesaw. "Rock smash is fighting home slice." He would managed after burping slightly and crushing the cup in one hand and effortlessly tossing it over his shoulder "Kobe!", the cup would bounce against the rim of a nearby trashcan before bouncing in gracefully. Cool dudes didn't litter, they cleaned up after their own shit and made sure other people did their shit. "Ayo Jam coming in with the fucking mad snipes tho," Orion would lean forward and squint a bit. "Oh shit that is 92 and not 82? Damn bro we're looking like chumps over here. Lemme get another shot in, ay baby?" His eyes would dance upwards as Arachnae would give a little one handed salute and splurt a gush of bubbles in some sort of beam of sorts. geYFsZmC1-100Bubble Beam Baby lessgo. "FUCK"" LANGUAGE YOUNG LADY." Orion would quip bopping the bubbly bugs water helmet slightly. He would scoop up the cup and begin sipping at it slightly. He'd just arrived and now he was three beers in, probably soon to be more at this rate. "But you-" Orion would tut. "You should be better than me, I am a bad role model." Turning back to Bee he would raise an eyebrow. "Imma grab some snacks so I don't get too much a buzz off our mystery booze, you need anything from the table?" He would ask Big Bee absently, waiting for a response before strutting off to pilfer some goodies from him, his homies, and at least a sweet little snack for baby Jam the man. His eyes would flit from Alice! as she seemingly nailed one of the bonus spots and he would give her a thumbs up that would transition into finger guns in response to her #Badass and cool move. Babes getting bonuses and all that. A familiar scent would tickle his nose as he found Mom fussing over the pie she'd just placed down. "Ay Ma!" Smiling, the man would hug the digital surrogate mother who'd been slowly filling the hole left in his heart by his absentee mother. "What're you doing here? This doesn't strike me as your type of scene!""Oh hush," the woman would reply back, wrapping her arms around he swole son from another world. "Your father and I used to go to all sorts of parties, sometimes we had to put our keys in a-" she would be cut off by Orion placing a finger on her lips. "I get it, I get it, point made. What's up?""I was hoping your sister would make some more friends!""Ayo, lil sis is here?"As the two spoke, Orion was building up a plate of munchies that would rival the tower of babel, each sweet carefully placed to balance and support the whole dish. Brownies laid like bricks, chips to fill the cracks, pie wherever it could fit. When he returned he would either have enough munchies for the rest of the night, or Arceus would smite his tower and suddenly everyone would be speaking gibberish. "She's right over there!"Orion's eyes would dart to watch as his NPC little sister shot her shot. What has her name again? Rouge? Ronda? Ruby ! Giving his mother a kiss on the forehead, he decided to saunter of to his pixilated sister and frown a bit at the pairing. "Damn, bad luck on that sis. You need me to slurp that down for you or can you handle your booze?"Stuffing a brownie he hoped he wasn't going to regret 30 minutes later into his mouth, the fighter would ruffle the woman's hair with his one free hand. Last thing he needed was this NP-sister getting too drunk and falling victim to any frat shenanigans. This was pokemon, but he was starting to get a feeling that this was gonna be a real ass rager. 1-100 |

"You would think," Big Bee said to orioncayge as the man returned with his tower of snacks, "that the chances of everyone but us getting one of those bonus squares would be a statistical marvel, right?" He grabbed a piece of the Pecha pie for himself and a brownie for Jam.
Jam's eyes followed the chunky square of chocolate-coated calories, opening wide as Big Bee dropped it into his extra-wide jaws.
"Good boy! I tell ya, I was worried about having a little legendary, but he's been pretty easy to handle so far! No accidental eruptions or anything!" He looked down at Groudon, who chewed noisily on the brownie, his jaws slurping open and closed like a bear trap filled with tar.
"Perhaps..." said a tiny voice, and a gloved hand reached out, clumsily grappling for a slice of pie. Big Bee pulled TKO back just in time to avoid the octopus knocking the contents of the plate across the lawn. "Whoa! Talk about a Sucker Punch, amirite?" he said, chuckling as he picked some cheesy snacks off the plate and handed them down to the little Clobbopus.
"Speaking of, how about you give us a real Sucker Punch. Kapow! Right in one of those, uh, squares that it's good against. Like that Psychic one maybe?"
TKO bobbled his head in the negative. "Mayhaps...another move..."
"You don't know Sucker Punch? But you're an octopus that punches stuff! That's like the most appropriate move? Whatever. What about that move Loki just did? Rock Smash!"
"Certainly..."
"So you don't know an octopus boxing move but you know a rock move?" Big Bee made a mental note to research this later, and possibly to email someone at the Japan office. "Okay well just do that one!" he ordered, dramatically. "Go!"

It had been harder than Yggy expected to get ready for the party. Kenny had been to birthday parties with laser tag and stuff with his friends, but he'd never gone to an event all by himself. Usually his little sister at least tagged along, or some other guys on the baseball team were going. What should she wear? ...Uhh, bikini top. What should she bring? ...Uhh, Mountain Dew. Who should she talk to first? Carrying her two six-packs of literal Mountain Dew (product placement?!), a female Yggy stood at the edge of the party in daisy dukes and swimwear, looking around with a hopeful expression. It looked like she was scanning the crowd for someone, but not finding them, she just sighed, shouldered her six-pack, and jogged up to Big Bee instead. "Hey Big Bro!" she chirped, giving an unmistakably Yggy-esque grin. "It's been like, forever! I didn't see you in school!" She'd seen Lucky Guy there a bunch of times, but it looked like he wasn't here yet. <Krrkrkrkrkr!> Chain Chomp the Meowth agreed, chattering his serrated jaws like chainsaw blades. "Haha, yeah! I don't know what he said," the tomboy echoed, grin never faltering. Big Bee had been talking to orioncayge before she'd barged in and, far from being self-conscious, the blonde seemed to perk up at the sight of a potential new friend. "Woah, you've got some of the forest beer! From that crazy huge keg, right?" She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. " I'm kinda not allowed to drink, so I'll probably just stick to my Dew...""Whaaat? Party foul!" a passing Round 2 Bro said, backpedaling. "It's just a little beer! It's not like we're taking shots out here or something." Over on the other side of the refreshments table cries of "SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!" began. The Round 2 Bro didn't seem to notice, handing Yggy a ping-pong ball. "C'mon, you gotta play at least once.""Bro no, it's her choice," said another frat boy, elbowing the first. "You gotta respect people's decisions because like, social pressure can be really destructive, you know?""Bro! You right. I'm sorry, dude, I shouldn't have bugged you," the first guy said to Yggy, offering her a fist-bump of apology. "I was just trying to make sure everyone had a good time. Chadwick worked really hard on that Poke Pong game, y'know?""Aww... man, it does look pretty fun," Yggy admitted, watching another dude ( h0lyn3v1l) miss his shot. She hefted the ball in her hand, then grinned suddenly. "Hey, did you guys know I'm really good at baseball?"J5VcvvuH1-100G.MEOWTH: METAL SOUND 1-100·1-100·1-100 |

She was late!
Late for a very important date!
A party, that is! Sliding into the scene, drinks in hand, she shouted out in excitement at seeing everyone already here. Perhaps she'd have to look more into these Round 2 people.
"Woo! Hell yeah! Now, this is what I'm talking about! A proper party!" Of course, most of her experience was house parties when she was still in high school, and this was more akin to a kind of chill college party. But still! She couldn't imagine it getting any better.
That is unless they opened up the doors of that haunted house and took everything inside! Where even did this house come from? She knew some buildings were built after the settlement began, but did someone really just build a house pre-haunted? Or did something happen so quickly to make it haunted? Who could say?
She was already chugging down a cold drink from the keg, downing it all in one go before slamming the mug down onto the table! "Another for the road!"
"Daaaamn bro, look at her. She just chugged that shit!" One of the bros from Round 2 shouted.
"Hell yeah lass, power to ya!" Someone else said sliding her another mug. She'd raise the drink high in the air with a cheer before sliding away to try and find someone to make idle conversation with.
It didn't take much to find a familiar face! Alas, while they might be familiar, they were still relatively a stranger. A party was precisely the kind of environment that could change all that!
"Yo, uh, Tuesday , right?" Laguna smiled a mile wide as she approached. "We met before! Helped fight those Cryogonal, right? Mine's totally chill now! Check him!"
Sure enough, she summoned her snowflake pokemon, Sir Hail forming almost right away. Almost gentlemanly, the Pokemon used its chains of ice as arms, making a dramatic motion before leaning forwards as if it was bowing. "What's all the hubbub about over here, huh? What's this- PokePong?" She interrupted herself, finally reading the sign.
"Oh, hell yes! I think perhaps I just Berg-might throw my hat into the ring! Or, well if I had a hat. Excuse me. And uh, excuse the pun too. Sorry, I've been waiting to use that one." She'd spin around in place, laughing to herself as she summoned her own Pokemon.
"Ayo, anyone got a hat I can toss?" Laguna would shout out jokingly as she readied her Pokemon for the challenge. Bergmite stood ready to fight, her Brionne a little confused glancing around, but she seemed to get the spirit of the game. "Alright squad, try your best! Glacia, High Jump Kick! Marina, Icy Wind! Sir Hail, Ice Shard! Show the crowd what you can do!"
"Or, you know force me to drink more. I'm not opposed to that! But still, try to win!"

Bergmite (Fighting) Brionne (Ice) Cryogonal (Ice)
Swing and a miss! And twice again! If only she instructed Bergmite to use an Ice Type Move! Brionne, admittedly, seemed to just be looking at the water symbol as if she wanted to go swimming.
And so she was caught entirely out of the blue when Sir Hail managed to strike a dragon target with his ice-type attack! "Hah! Good one! Oh, shoot, right I still gotta take at least two drinks." She'd down the one drink she had, and then managed to chug down the third one before wiping her lips dry. At least now, she got to force someone else to drink. Her eyes would scan across the crowd before zeroing in on her target. Another familiar face.
"Yo Big Bee ! Take a drink!"
