"Damn, bad luck on that sis..."
Ruby instinctively jumped at the sudden words from orioncayge . She was used to calling everyone else brother or sister, it just felt like the right thing to do while staying at Mom's house. Why ruin the immersion for any new players, right? And yet, having it said to her right back was something that felt a little bizarre.
Was it weird that she kind of liked it though? Enjoyed the gentle hair ruffle? The idea of forming an adopted family bond between total strangers was an absolutely fascinating concept, and-
She had totally just been staring into space. With a quiet, albeit nervous laugh, she shook her head even as her cheeks began to turn a soft shade of red. "No no, I can uh, handle myself! I'm not some little girl who needs protecting all the time, you know."
Even still, she'd hold the mug of forest ale in her hands like it was going to poison her. Some chemical in a laboratory she should absolutely not drink. Especially for someone who didn't like alcohol, the smell wasn't doing her any favors.
After Murmur came floating apologetically over to gently nuzzle at her cheek, Ruby just let out a soft sigh and slowly began to drink down her shot. It burned going down, and she almost assuredly visibly gagged for a second, "Ugh, bluh, that's er, enough for me. I tried one game, no more for me. I could probably mix better-tasting chemicals in a lab. Except, you shouldn't ever eat anything in a lab, actually. That was just... you know, an exaggeration. The risk of cross-contamination is extreme and... this is getting silly."
She sighed almost instantly, shaking her head again. "Thanks for the offer, bro. I gave it a shot, I think I'm going to just find a place to sit and-"
Her eyes were slowly drawn to one of Big Bee 's Pokemon however as he spoke to orioncayge . He looked so interesting! She had yet to see something like it before and genuinely have no idea what the Pokemon truly known as Groudon was. Her anxieties had briefly been forgotten. She found her party dog.
After a few moments of silently staring, eyes wide with scientific curiosity. Slinging her backpack off her back, she flipped it open to pull out a small notebook to sketch a picture of the Groudon, all while her Pokemon Egg from within the backpack was incredibly visible. It still sat gently on the ground for now, leaning up against her legs. It was safe for now, but given the party was picking up, who knew what could happen? Best to keep it close by.
"Er, excuse me?" She'd speak up over towards Big Bee , trying to get their attention. "Could I draw a picture of them real quick?" Her free hand pointed over at the Groudon. "Just a quick sketch! They look super interesting, and I'd love to learn more. What did you mean by little legendary earlier? What kind of Pokemon even are they?" |

"It's so bad," Yggy gagged, trying to sip the solo cup of Forest Beer she'd rightfully been saddled with after her baseball skills had betrayed her. She sputtered at the dank, woodsy taste, holding it at arm's length from her body. "Eww... God... it's like, literally nasty. Literally.""Would you like an orange slice?" asked a familiar voice, and Yggy turned around to see the Player Mother standing next to orioncayge. She smiled warmly at her, offering her a plate of citrus wedges. "Oh my god! Mom! You're here too! Did you make that giant pie?!" Yggy said, looking around for the person who'd brought her ( Ruby) and giving her a big thumbs up and a grin. "That's #Badass! My other mom can only make normal-sized pies!" She took the orange slice and squeezed it into the beer. "Thanks! Hey Big Bee, Mom's here, did you see?" The blonde gestured towards the NPC and took another sip, making a face. Much as she wanted to keep gagging and complaining, she didn't want to look like a baby at this cool party for adults. She had to try and blend in a little."...Hey everyone! Watch this! Nugget, MEGA-EVOLVE!"Chucking its oversized Pokeball like a beach ball, Yggy clapped and hollered as people scattered to make space for the gigantimax pikachu evolving in the middle of the lawn. It would be a lie to say she felt buzzed after two sips of beer, but maybe the whole party ambience just put her in a rowdy mood. She grinned around at everyone like a child expecting a gold star from their teacher. "Haha! Isn't he huge? Hey, someone give me a boost! I'm gonna try and ride him!""Bro-ette, you don't even have a saddle!"Yggy scrambled all the way up on top of Nugget's head, managing to glitch herself halfway and save herself a serious climb. Behind her, the mouse's tail formed a white-hot arc of jagged lightning. Blonde hair frayed and frazzled around her face from the static. Nugget shook his head and she almost fell, barely managing to keep her balance between his ears. In a moment of vertigo, Kenny remembered standing on top of a different Pokemon. A black tide. A pale screen, lighting up the darkness. Beneath him, something breathed.Back at the party, pixels flickered ominously around Yggy's body. Then she just grinned and produced a ping-pong ball in one hand, holding it up to show. From here, she could see every cup and type on the board. They were going to crush this game. "Watch this, guys! I call it High... Jump... PITCH!"Crackling electricity surrounded the ping-pong ball as she dunked it into the grid, blasting plastic cups in all directions. "It's super effective!"UXezDkzT1-100GMAX PIKACHU - ELECTRO BALL  Back on the lawn, helping clean up all the cups she'd scattered with her over-the-top move, a grinning Yggy spun around to accept her winnings. Under the impression the extra drink was a prize, not a punishment, she pointed at a certain redhead loitering nearby. "I'm still working on mine, so I'll give that one to Finnegan Fjord! He helped me catch Nugget to begin with, so it's thanks to him!" 1-100

"Hey Lil Sis!" Big Bee said, grinning as Yggy Br00ks appeared, shouldering a case of Mtn Dew and holding back what appeared to be a feral cat. "Baseball? Hmmm. I wonder if there's room for a pickup game. They must have bats and a ball in the house." Big Bee went to open the gate leading to the woods, but a big UI prompt flashed on his screen.
LOCKED
Meanwhile, Yggy threw her shot, which missed. "Yeah, that seems about right. Don't worry. I've still got one shot left. Let's see how badly I can-"
Big Bee was interrupted by someone calling his name, which was always a 50/50 at big parties. In this case it was a cute, blue-haired girl handing him a drink. Nice! He took the cup from Laguna. "Oh thanks, I'm still working on this one- oh. I have to drink it?" Damn. Well, could have been worse. He downed the cup of black liquid, feeling it rush right to his head. His eyes watered from the fumes and he coughed. "Sure goes down smooth, doesn't it," he said with a laugh.
The sleeping NPC from Mom's house had snuck up while he was busy drinking, and she had eyes for only the handsomest little guy at the party: Jam! "Yeah he's a Groudon!" Big Bee said proudly. "The egg dropped after the High Tide Raid, and then orioncayge and I hatched it in a hot tub!" It was a little simplified, but she probably wouldn't understand anyway. "Sure you can sketch him! Actually, can you keep an eye on him for a moment while I take this last shot?"
Big Bee plopped Jam down on the ground with another brownie and was looking around for Rian when something massive, yellow and rubbery bumped into him. He turned in shock and awe to see Yggy standing on top of a gigantic Pikachu! "Watch this, guys! I call it High... Jump... PITCH!"
The crackling ball of electricity blasted the table, scoring a Super Effective hit purely by nature of the Mega Evolved attack!
"Yggy Br00ks that was #Badass! Amazing! Okay. You've inspired me. Rian!" the monkey appeared from behind one of the tables. She had been playing pickup sticks with a group of frat bros.
"Yeah? I'm busy," she said, stuffing a handful of Pokédollars into her hair along with her sticks.
"I need you to hit this ball into one of those cups," Big Bee explained, ignoring her protests and pulling her towards the Poké-Pong table. "Just one hit and then we're done. Oh, and try to hit either water, ground, rock, or one of those blue shields."
"What?"
"Trust me. Branch attack!"

Thwackey used Branch Poke (Grass)
Big Bee covered his face with his hands. "One off," he mumbled into his palms. "We were one off. Oh my God." He picked up another drink, downing it to total his fourth drink of the evening so far. 1d100 |

A lot of crazy things start happening around the hundred cups that make for the POKÉ-PONG game, and so Tuesday makes the wise decision to slip away while everyone is either distracted by the antics of other players, or by the giant pie brought by the Mom NPC. Damn, NPCs really do have a lot of autonomy in a game like this, huh?
She goes to get herself a normal drink, but since the particular shade of red of these solo cups isn’t to her liking, she does what any normal person would do and turns it gold. Oh, the joys Alchemy. Once that’s done, her plan is set in motion, starting off with the couple of bros that stand by the snack table…
For some reason, they’re talking about Star Wars. The new ones. Get some better taste, Round 2. Still, she knows the perfect way to jump into this conversation…
"Psst. Dudes." Standing next to them, she calls to their attention, making them lean in closer so she can whisper to them. It’s inevitable, most players’ characters are taller than her. "You wanna buy some death sticks?
”Just kiddin’! It’s obvs ethically sourced, one hundred percent organic, gluten free, non-GMO, grass. Bet it’d make this party a hell of a lot more fun, right?” She winks at them, flashing one of the little bags of Petilil leaves.
Just like that, she begins doing business until she ends up right back by the POKÉ-PONG game.
”Hey, Laguna! Nice moves. I should probs give this one last shot, huh? Let’s see…” Her Munna is released then, the sleepy pink pokémon seeming as if the antithesis of the life of the party.
”CL, light it up.” She points towards the cups, but instead of the explosion some would perhaps expect, it’s the pale light of a fairy MOONLIGHT that shines down then.

The forest beer looks awful. Bunny takes it anyways, because it's the polite thing to do. A long pink ear twitches as she chirps her thanks and scurries away, trying to decide whether to casually toss the drink over her shoulder or actually partake in the concoction. Luka Chêne isn't a beer drinker. But perhaps Bunny could be? That's the charm in VR— you can be anyone, really. Still new to the game, Bunny hasn't really grasped the concept of keeping herself separate from her avatar. But in the spirit of trying new things, she tentatively sips at her beer, nose wrinkling just like her namesake. It's...fine. It's fine! Feeling a bit emboldened by her daring new venture (never mind how pathetic it is that she considers having a beer bold) Bunny creeps out from her role as a wallflower and approaches the poke-pong game. She watches and listens, ears perked and alert as she tries grasping the rules by observing everyone around her. Once she's fairly certain she understands, she steps up— a little shyly— and throws her hat in the ring. "Sunkist! Ummm...let's do our best!"RnZ1KZeG1-100Torchic (fire)Well, that didn't work. Bunny sighs and knocks back another drink of her toxic sludge, only wincing a little bit this time around. "I guess we um...Tor-chickened out of this one," she jokes lamely to whoever happens to be nearby...orioncayge, apparently. 1-100 |

The fighter chuckled and gave Ruby a thumbs up as she finished her beer. "It's definitely an acquired-"Orion blinked and it seemed like the world had lurched forward for a second. So much happened at once it became nigh impossible to keep up with, was his mcdonald ass internet lagging on him? Or was shit just getting that out of hand? The cute blue haired girl in the sailor uniform ( Laguna ) who was his rival coworker in assisting the professor handed Big Bee a Drink. Bee, then, seemingly hellbent to get sloshed went for round three of pokepong and had another cup in his hands before long. Ruby began peering at his godson, Jam the Man, named after the greatest movie of all time, and now there was a big ass Pikachu running around? Had the brownie already kicked in? He sure as shit hoped not because Jam was putting a hurt on them like he was Hulk Hogan and it was wrestling in 80's again. Setting his empty cup down, the fighter decided that while he COULD have Achilles jump into the fray, he felt that would probably lead to escalation, and things were already getting up there in intensity despite the fact that the doors to the actual house hadn't even opened yet. "Lokes." Orion grunted. "Yeah boss?""You're on trash duty homie. Lets keep the litter to a minimum, if this bitch is haunted I don't want any angry poltergeists having extra ammo eh?"But-""You lost at pong, make it up to the team.""UHHHHHHHGH, Fine...." The Sneasel groaned before scampering off to deal with trash. "Rach.""Yee?" The spiderling quiped from on top of his head. "Keep an eye on Rubes and Jam for me please baby.""Okietay! I like playin with Jam!"The Dewpider would skitter down Orion's back and nimbly dodge between stompy legs and dancy feet to find a home alongside Jam and Ruby, wiggling it's bubble (and by extension slightly soggy but still sick as fuck bandanna) in greeting. "Hello! I'm baby sisting!""And me?" Achilles grunted, beer in hand sipping it slightly. "Back me up in case things get rowdy." Orion quipped back, turning to give the recently rescued (IM WORKING ON IT I SWEAR) cat man a scratch between the ears. "I'll be your shadow then boss." The cat replied, a low rumbling purr emanating from him. "Step one is the obvious minor who's trying waay to hard to look cool." Orion replied, motioning to Yggy Br00ks on the massive fuck off pikachu. "I have some scars from doing the same shit when I was her age. Also, lets see if we can find her like...a coat or something." There was nothing wrong with her outfit, but the idea that he might be leering at a minor made his stomach turn. He was all for checking out babes, but not if they were jailbait, that was fucked. "And be ready in case she falls, remember" He would pause and hold his hands out with his fingers cupped together. "Spoons not forks" splaying out his fingers he would give his hands an extra shakes. "You're more likely to jam a finger into their eye or something and fork them up with your fingers are apart, plus you might break your finger. Spoons offer ultimate support." The Incineroar would raise an eyebrow before finishing his beer and tossing it into the trashcan, following along with his trainer as they caught up with Bee and the base of the Tower of Yggy. "Hey bud, party's just startin." Orion would joke, leaning an arm on one of Bee's shoulders, stealing one of his more recently finished cups from his hand. "Slow it down or you'll be stumblin round like a Spinda before the doors even open." Glancing upwards he would shoot a finger gun as Yggy. "Badass chica! Why don't you uh, slide on down from there before you fall though? I could tell you eight different ways something like that has sent me to the ER."
He would fish a Test tube out his inventory that kept incase he came across any cool mystery liquids to show to the professor and poured a couple of the driblets at the bottom into it, corking it tight and tossing it back into his inventory. It could just be booze, but if it was mystical cryptid ghost booze the professor might actually flip her shit. Achiles for his part was standing by ready to catch the tomboy if she fell. |

This party was great. As the playlist went on and someone threw her a big Round 2 Guild T-Shirt to cover her midriff, Yggy found the forest beer didn't taste so bad any more. "Oh my god, I love Ke$ha!" Yggy exclaimed, swaying to the music. "I wish I'd brought my iPod, I could have played this one song..." She laughed suddenly, a youthful, boyish sound. Her fingers were tingling, and not just from the electricity. Could this be... party fever? What was she supposed to do with this feeling? Dance? Before Yggy could start trying out freshman year dance moves on top of her Pikachu, someone called for her to slide down. "Okay!" she said, waving back at orioncayge. He's probably right, she thought, looking down dubiously at the rodent's slippery yellow ribcage. I can't afford to die at this party... She'd told Seta next time she came to the Everworld, she'd give him an answer. And she still wasn't sure what the right answer was. So, no dying. She had to be careful about this. Finishing her solo cup, Yggy crushed it into the waistband of her jorts and took a deep breath. At the bottom she could see Chain Chomp the Meowth trying to make small talk with Laguna. <WaoooAwowowooh,> the steel cat sang along with the playlist, swishing its hips. "Hey! No making friends without me!" Yggy exclaimed, forgetting all about caution. She pushed recklessly off Nugget's side and immediately shot off course. She tumbled with a yell and was thankfully caught by Orion's Incineroar before breaking her neck at the bottom. "Woah! Thanks, Incineroar," she said to the tiger, the close call failing to make any real impact on her. "Wait, should you like... have him here? You know Littens are illegal, right?" she asked, craning her head around to look for Orion. Wasn't he scared the NPCs at the party would tattle? I guess not. That's kinda #Badass...Wait, she had one more shot at Poke Pong! "Watson, come on out!" Yggy recalled the gigantic Pikachu and sent out a little Oshawott instead. The otter looked around, smoothing down her fur and looking up at him with watery eyes. <I'm not Watson,> she said, very clearly to anyone who had Poke Speech enabled, but Yggy ignored her. She pointed at the grid of solo cups. "Quick, attack it! Here's the ball."Oshawott sighed, tossing her scalchop in one paw. Well, if this was the role she had to play, she'd get a little REVENGE of her own. 5mT9kqNE1-100OSHAWOTT - REVENGE ...The slice of the shell sent forest beer spraying all over Yggy's new T-shirt. She stood there dripping, then let out a surprised yell. "Aw, man!" Still, it wasn't like she'd have to do laundry in a game, right? Wiping herself down with a paper towel, Yggy grinned sheepishly at whoever handed her the obligatory drink. "Guess I should have quit while I was ahead, haha." Not even this could spoil her mood! 1-100 |

Morgana had already had one beer and spent the rest of the party sneaking around, attempting to access off-limits areas like the mansion and the woods with her trusty Klefki. When this failed, she was forced to trudge her high-heeled self all the way back to the party and take out her frustration on the Poke Pong Field. Nobody was quite sure what hit them—a whirlwind of ice-coated Gyarados jaws and sparkly pink wind blew through the solo cups, followed by a Mudkip who tried to bust the table in two. zNM1kB9k1-1001-1001-100GYARADOS - ICE FANG KLEFKI - FAIRY WIND MUDKIP - ROCK SMASH  "You're all terrible / brilliant angels," Bergamot said depending on the result, accepting or delegating any additional cups of forest beer. "Return, all of you! I have bigger fish to fry."Her eyes lingered on Moon Bunny. "Hello," she said softly, stepping up to introduce herself. She bore a strange, detached air, as if she didn't quite belong at this party. "I'm sorry, you just... remind me of someone.""...Someone in a joke," the villainess finished unexpectedly. Her eyes gleamed with sudden, innocent mischief. "Have you heard it? The Combee Joke?"She took a step closer. "There are two Combees, or technically six if you prefer. Let's call them Com-beezus and Com-beezley. One day they're sitting in a bar, enjoying their favorite com-beer." Bergamot took a sip of her forest beer to illustrate the point. "Com-beezus is com-bee-laboring the failure of his small com-bee-zuiness, which sells lightbulbs." No pun there. "There they are, talking, when a dame walks in. Beedrill, I think. Long legs to the middle of her thorax, com-bee-eautiful. She also has pink hair, just like you."Alice! also had pink hair, so Morgana turned to include the nearby player in the joke. "Her name is Bee-atrice, and she is bee-reathtaking. She wants to talk to Com-beezus about expanding his com-beezness. Com-beezley buzzes off, since he knows he's not wanted." Bergamot did not do the same, regrettably. "The two get to talking, and pretty soon, one thing leads to another, and they're com-bee-trothed. Bee-atrice makes a lovely bee-lushing bee-ride, and each—"<Peep peep?> asked Jack, her Mudkip, who was sitting on the grass listening to the joke with his head cocked to one side. "No, it wouldn't make sense to say 'com' before Bee-atrice's puns, she's a pink-haired Beedrill, not a Combee," Morgana emphasized. "Don't interrupt, please. Anyway, what was happening? They just got married?" She took a moment to compose herself before continuing. "Soon they have some children, who they name Weendy and Weedleine. You can guess where I'm going with this," she added, "Both Weedle bee-abies have pink hair, just like their mother! As they grow up, both decide they want to get into pro wrestling."<Peep...>"Pro wrestling," Bergamot said louder over Jack's confused peeping. "And com-beeing a good dad, Com-beezus does everything he can to support their dream. But there's a B-Plot—"<P-peep?!>"...Yes, a com-bee plot! Bee-cause, a corporate Bee-E-O has just moved into town and offered to buy Com-beezus's lightbulb bee-zuiness! What to do, what to do...? Truly, Com-beezus is torn." Bergamot's eyes flicked between her victims and she lowered her voice. "Should he sell out to Beeg Bee-zuiness? He goes home and talks to Bee-atrice, and they decide to take the deal. The next day, the whole family goes out to celebrate at the Bee-attle Tower."Morgana waves a white-gloved hand, gesturing in order to paint the picture of the tower in her audience's minds. "It's huge, like a multi-story shopping mall. On each floor they sell different types of bee-attling items, and of course, the Weedle Girls want to go to the TM corner right away so they can learn some moves to com-beeat their opponents. They head up there and are dismayed to see the lines are practically out the door. Every little Weedle in town wants a Focus Blast or a Focus Punch, but bee-fore they can even get in line for any of them, a madman with a com-bee-bee-gun breaks into the store! It's Com-beezley, his old friend from the bar, and he's back for revenge!""Revenge," she continued dramatically, "Bee-cause he'd always secretly loved Bee-atrice. Screams ring out through the Bee-attle Tower. People hiding under tables, behind doors, running away down the escalators!" Chaos! "...Com-beezley flies towards the family. 'Die, you son-of-a-com-beetch,' he buzzes, and and aims the bee-bee gun straight at one of Com-beezus's three heads— but just then, com-beep! com-beep! Sirens sound! Just when all hope seems lost, Bee-attle Tower security tackles him and takes him away."Her fingers drummed an absentminded rhythm on the outside of her cup. The beer inside was long-gone. "Afterwards, the family pulls themselves to their feet. It's com-been a traumatic experience, but they got through it together. Most of the people who were waiting have fled, though a few are still in line for Focus Blast. Com-beezus lets out his breath. 'Whew. That was pretty scare-bee!' he says to Bee-atrice, who's already gathered the children. 'I can't believe Com-beezley would snap like that. Everyone's gone...'
"True, but at least now there's no Focus Punch Line.'"1-100·1-100·1-100 |

The complicated looking game was laid out before them. The party was absolutely RAGING, and Kath was trying to stay focused amongst all of the ruckus. There was only one goal here: Victory!
She tried to analyze the game. Super effective moves... yes... yes... it all made perfect sense.
She just needed her Pokémon to participate.
"Ayo Grookey, get over here!" She looked around for the little guy. "Grookey?"
She could only see Bulby, her Ivysaur, with two cups in his vines. He was refilling both of them, one on top of the other, letting the forest beer spill over one cup and into the next.
"Bulby," said Kath, "You seen Grookey?"
"Heyyyy maaaann," said Bulby. "You want one?"
He handed her both cups.
"Hold mine, I'll get you one," he said, as he grabbed two more empty cups and started to fill them.
"Thanks," Kath said and downed one. "You seen Grookey? Got a game for us to play."
"Oh, Grookey, haha, yeah."
"Well?"
"He started on the ground underneath the tap, man. He's been getting everyone's dregs. Said it was 'more efficient' that way."
"That's irresponsible," Kath said. She sculled the second cup. "Where is he now?"
"Mann, I tried to stop him, he just kept saying 'roof' and undressing," Bulby said. "Don't ask me where the hell he got clothes." He gave Kath the two full cups, took her empty cups, and started refilling them.
"Fuck, that's strong," said Kath, immediately drinking another.
"Yyyyyyeeeeaaaahhhhh maaaaaann," Bulby said, way too loud. He was trading his two cups back and forth under the tap, drinking half a cup at a time.
"Shit. We better find him," Kath finished her fourth drink and handed them back to Bulby.
Bulby held four cups in his vines and refilled them simultaneously with his waterfall technique.
"Did you mention a game?"
"Whah?" Kath replied, woozy.
Kath: 4 beers (1500ml)
Bulby: 8 beers (3000ml)
Grookey: ? beers (4623ml)

 Round 2: Drink Till We're Offline
#Buzzedness #Winning #BadassThe party rages, and UI pings ringing out with every drink drunk, every throw thrown (good or bad), every Poké Pun thoughtlessly inflicted upon another, and every #Badass moment. Soon, people are turning off their notifications, just in time for a full scoreboard to appear in their UI!
The scores pop up for everyone to see, but only some receive the following notifications.
Players with 3+ Buzzedness see the following.
This beer sure is good! Time for another?
Players with 5+ Buzzedness get an additional notification.
Chug chug! Praise the keg!
Players with 3+ Winning see the following.
The shadows squirm, painting warnings on the walls.
"Three shields down already! This calls for a toast! TO THE KEG!" calls Chadwick, and the party cheers, saluting the keg of mysterious forest beer and toasting to their good fortune. The Round 2 guild leader walks over to the Poké-Pong board, which is missing a good chunk of its tiles, especially after Yggy Br00ks 's power move. "And who threw those killer hits? I think it was Finnegan Fjord, Tuesday, and Alice!, right? That's gotta be worth a few points!" The scoreboard updates, giving each of the players +2 points to Winning for their amazing shots.
Chadwick picks up the scattered shield tiles and holds them out for the three players to grab.
Card 1: Cowboy DanceCard 2: Time to RhymeCard 3: Kegstand"Now, the scavenger hunt is almost ready, but first let's finish off this Poké-Pong!" Chadwick says, and he gestures back to the board. Half the tiles are missing, displaying the bare wood of the table underneath. Poké-Pong! A new rule pops up in everyone's UI. {Rules} 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.
Details- The house is still 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.

"Stop, I'm already dead."
Finn, several drinks in and definitely feeling it, lays a hand over his heart in dramatic fashion as Yggy Br00ks offers him a drink. But he takes it, and chugs it, and the room is starting to look a little weird.
"PRAISE THE KEG." Had he read that notification out loud? And what was that about shadows?
I've drank too much already.
Maybe that explains why the Poke-Pong board is looking a little weird. He flips over the card he's handed and frowns. "Cazzo. More?"
He loves a challenge. He hates losing. He's already told Tuesday he can outdrink her. Fuck.
"All right. Tuesday, Furrlicity Purrfection, get over here. I'm gonna show everybody how this shit is done."
It's not his first rodeo, and by rodeo I mean kegstand. It is his first kegstand in a video game. Are you proud of him, Mom and Dad?
He's not sure how long he drinks, but it's definitely more than 30 seconds.
"How about that, huh?"
God, he's going to regret that, isn't he?
His Pokémon, meanwhile, are doing their best to make him proud. He calls out a few random numbers, and they take aim.
Caiman with CURSE. Finn's not sure what good hexing the tiles will do, but he's proud of the Croconaw's enthusiasm.
Caher with MUD-SLAP. Maybe the Mudkip is trying to emulate Caiman's earlier success?
Monarch with BITE. The Shinx isn't trying to win. She just likes the sound the cups make when she sinks her teeth in.

As Yggy helped set the cups back up, she couldn't help but notice certain parts of the board had disappeared. Some of the cool Pokemon type coasters had vanished, leaving the the natural wood grain of the table behind. She leaned closer— it looked like letters had been carved or burned underneath. Man, that looks like my old desk in Mrs. Anderson's room, Yggy thought, wiping some beer out of one of the grooves shaped like an S (but not a cool S.) I wonder why some people vandalize stuff...Wait... what if it wasn't just vandalism? What if it was a treasure map?
"Holy guacamole! We gotta hit the rest of these cups!" the blonde exclaimed, fumbling her Pokeball and dropping it on the lawn. She had to crawl under the table after it, popping out on the other side. "Gotcha! Nugget, come back out!"The Pikachu returned, still in his mega-evolved form. "Sorry guys! I gotta get the bonus while it lasts," Yggy said. "Can you guys scooch back a little? Thanks... sorry... go on, Nugget! Play ball!"<Itchy,> rumbled the giant, scratching his ear vigorously. Arm-long strands of yellow fur floated down like spaghetti. He took a step forward with a dull boom that rattled all the dishes on the refreshments table, and the tomboy began to realize how much damage the tank could do (even accidentally) to this party. "J-just take it easy, okay?" Yggy chimed with a nervous laugh. "Like... just a little move?"<Yeah, okay. I'll play nice.>51ZvXnC21-100G-MAX PIKACHU - PLAY NICE +4 BUZ (89)  "Bullseye! Hey, did you see that?" Nobody had— everyone was more occupied watching Finnegan Fjord's epic keg stand. "Oh my god, I've only seen these in movies!" the blonde exclaimed, momentarily distracted from the mystery at the Poke Pong table to watch. Someone started a chant and Yggy joined in, grinning. "Finn! Finn! Finn! Finn!" Man, Finn's such a #Badass! I'd totally throw up if I did that. Was he gonna throw up?! That would be so gross, haha. Recalling Nugget, a little relieved despite herself (the mega evolution would have faded by the time she sent him out again) Yggy pulled up her party notifications with one hand. "Oh yeah! Time for another!" she exclaimed, looking around and handing h0lyn3v1l the extra drink she'd won from Poke Pong. "Hey, I'm Yggy! It's short for Yggabella. Your avatar's really cool, by the way!"1-100·1-100 |

It is entirely possible that Finn's going to be throwing up by the end of this. That he's not throwing up yet is the probably product of a VR miracle. Maybe he'd start if his BUZZEDNESS got high enough. Which, it was definitely getting there.
"Try again," he encourages his Pokemon, watching Croconaw and Shinx miss their mark. "Same moves? Maybe different ones? I don't fuckin' know, it's your call."
Caiman reprises his role with a wild swing of his tail, eagerly trying to CURSE another cup. Nothing if not enthusiastic. Monarch BITES for another cup not because she's listening to Finn, but because she's a cat who wants nothing but attention and trouble.
"Can our Pokémon get drunk?"
Monarch was making that a Real Concern.

Three throws and not a single good one. This game was rigged!
Half the board was cleared, thanks to Yggy Br00ks's #Badass blasts, meanwhile Finnegan Fjord was shooting killer shot after reroll after adjustment. The alcohol was working in his favor, without a doubt, and Big Bee was sure he saw the balls curving in midair.
Big Bee grabbed a fresh drink from the keg, waiting patiently for Kath Ulu and her crew as they waterfalled the seemingly endless stream of beer.
"Okay orioncayge, here's the plan. I think I screwed up last time and I should just shoot them all at the same time, like Finnegan Fjord did." He did a quick head count. Jam was missing! Oh, no, he was just busy getting sketched and inspected by Ruby. "Okay. Well, two at once. That's gotta be the secret, right?"
Rian and TKO took aim. Octopus and Monkey, name a more iconic duo. Rian held up TKO, with the little octopus clutching one of Rian's sticks in each gloved fist. It was time for a Reversal of fortune. The double Branch Poke. Nobody would ever expect it!
"Aim for the..." Big Bee pointed roughly at one of the blurry tiles in the upper half of the board. "Aim for...both of those shields there. Go!"
Time to win BIG.

Assuming her captive audience was too awed by her legendary Combee Joke to respond, Bergamot flipped her curtain of chestnut brown hair like a matador's cape and stared dramatically into the afternoon sun. "Très magnifique," she said softly, eyes watering, then raised her glass to the miasma-shrouded keg. "Praise the keg."She drank, or rather pretended to drink, since she'd already finished her beer earlier. Well, this won't last...She refilled again and again, daring fate to force her hand, daring consequence to crush her. She played the game and danced to the music in tight, concentric circles, spinning and spinning like an axis running counter to the world. Her Pokemon repeated their performance, a storm of ice and wind and crushing blows that sought to clear the sea of colored cups. Morgana closed her eyes. When she came to, she was laying across a row of folding chairs. There was something heavy on her chest. A straightjacket? was Chryssa's first thought, followed by Am I in the hospital? Hadn't the inevitable finally happened where she had a seizure while hooked up to the WorldScreen and no one had been able to respond in time? Or was she now trapped in the game as a permanent NPC due to dying in real life? She'd been expecting that plot twist for awhile, so she was disappointed to see her HUD still fully active. chug chug! praise the keg!Mudkip was crouched on her chest, a thin line of drool descending from the corner of his mouth. <Peep peep!> Jack cried, wagging his tail in relief. As he spoke, the drool snapped, falling directly into her eye with a splash. Bergamot Riddle sat up with an indignant shriek, rubbing her eyes. ...It seemed like she'd blacked out for a moment. Maybe from all the spinning. Maybe from the multiple drinks. Maybe from telling jokes that were too skillful and bee-rilliant. "It seems I've developed a case of the vapors," Bergamot said from her prone position, managing to manifest a southern accent. Why was the world still spinning? She waved feebly. "Someone else take my drink. Wait, actually, no. I'll keep it." Bergamot Riddle was a ruthless thief, not a charity benefactor! 1-100·1-100·1-100 |
