016 Things Acquired [video; ACTION for Shark House]

[ossifragant]

[It's been a while since he was last on camera.

Greed looks cold and annoyed, and he's wrapped himself in a blanket. It's not that cold in his house, he's just being a little melodramatic.

Maybe.]

You know, the last time the weather went haywire, the world nearly ended a few months later. It's not like I'm saying another Legendary Pokemon is going to show up without warning--

[He frowns.]

Nah, who am I fooling. That's exactly what I'm saying.

You're not the first person who made that suggestion, but I'd love to see that happen, honestly! Especially if it's a really cool Ice-type, I'm sure my sister would be thrilled..!

[ossifragant]

With that... heat wave, and then the rain, and now this snow, I wonder if it would be an Ice-type? It could be, but I figure it would be something else.

Or maybe more than one Pokemon, who knows.

[stonebones]

Nearly ended...? I knew legendaries were a big deal -- they got their name for a reason, after all -- but I never heard about that...

[And it kind of seemed like a big thing to overlook.]

[audio]

[ossifragant]

[That's because he's exaggerating a little...]

Last year, these two groups of people were using two different Legendary Pokemon to attack each other.

I'm not sure what the reason for it was, but through most of the year, there was odd weather. Before I arrived, there was apparently an entire week where the weather never changed at all.

[VIDEO]

[deaftly]

So... we're all gonna die?

[Naki seems pretty calm about that, actually.]

What's a legendary Pokémon?

[VIDEO]

[ossifragant]

[Naki....]

I... don't think we're going to die, I just thing we're not done with the strange weather.

Legendary Pokemon are incredibly powerful Pokemon, and as far as I know, there's only one of 'em, unlike regular Pokemon you can catch.

[paladinlost]

If I was the type to gamble, I'd bet on those Legendary dogs' involvement. ...Then again, there was no such cold spell back then, and the third was associated with Water, not Ice...

[Maybe it wouldn't be such a sure bet after all.]

[video]

[ossifragant]

Legendary dogs?

I don't think I've heard of anything like that.

You're talking about last October, right?

text;

[ossifragant]

[And he switches to text because otherwise it's an awkward Skype conversation, and Greed's not really here for that.]

Yeah, that's right.

Weird things had been going on for quite some time before we were told it was two Pokemon fighting.

[Alphonse is back in the office-turned-sleeping-bag-campout, curled up with some of his Pokemon and scrolling through the Network when he sees the post. After watching it he frowns and straightens up a bit before shouting across the whole blessed house.]

Greed, you're gonna jinx us with a post like that!

[action]

[ossifragant]

[Greed looks around for a moment, wondering if Al is in the room before he calls back.]

Don't be ridiculous! If something bad's gonna happen, it's gonna happen anyway!

[video]

[solas_ion]

Yeah, probably.

[when one has been here for as long as lancer, one's give-a-fuck tended to malfunction.]

[Not that Lancer had much of one in the first place.]

Watch, it'll be like...shit, I don't know, a giant goddamn horse made of ice. Like an anti-Rapidash or something.

[video]

[ossifragant]

Well, let's see.

[....honestly, an ice horse doesn't sound so far out there.]

The creator of this world is a llama that got stuck in a fence. A horse made out of ice wouldn't be so hard to believe. Now all we have to do is figure out what caused it to rain for a week straight, and we have our culprits.

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy wanders down the stairs just in time to catch what Greed says.]

[...he's wearing a blanket around his shoulders too.]

[CENTURIES OLD BABIES.]

Two years in a row! If we're gonna get weather, why does it have to be snow?

I'd prefer another hurricane.

[action]

[ossifragant]

[Greed nods, like this is the most reasonable reaction to being freezing cold in August.]

I'd prefer rain to this. Snow shouldn't be cold.

[Video]

[endsuffering]

[Madoka has always been neutral about the cold- on one hand, BEING cold can suck a lot. On the other, when it's cold, usually she gets to stay in and have hot chocolate while wrapped in a warm blanket and watch the snow fall. Which she later wraps up in a few good layers to play in.

She hasn't been able to get more than a few big sweaters and a wool blanket this time around. At least she has her pokemon to huddle with and PokeCenter hot chocolate, right?]

What did you say...? Another what kind of Pokemon shows up with weird weather?

[Video]

[ossifragant]

[He's so used to talking about normal things in this place, it takes him a bit to remember that not everyone would think of super-powerful Pokemon as something normal.]

Legendary Pokemon. They're... super powerful Pokemon, and there's only the one of them, so I don't think people are actually meant to capture them or anything.

[dreamsofahero]

It's getting to be that predictable, is it...?

Video

[ossifragant]

I don't know what else it could be.

[But he's being a baby about this, so]

[Video]

[grapeeater]

Are you talking about October? I'd just gotten here, so I wasn't really sure what was going on.

[Video]

[ossifragant]

Yeah, October.

It wasn't the first odd thing to happen here since I arrived.

Lets just hope it's not "disaster" levels of haywire weather anytime soon. That's when I'll worry.

[ossifragant]

The weather's strange enough right now, isn't it?

[capitald]

Hmm... I'd find that unusual if I weren't already accustomed to potentially cataclysmic situations. But if you don't mind me asking, what happened before?

[It'll make for an interesting journal entry at the very least! How could he pass this up?]

[ossifragant]

[Hey, he's willing to explain!]

Last year, including before I got here, there were times here and there where the weather would go haywire. Snow in June, a hurricane made of sharks; standard things, really.

[He's joking, obviously.]

It all started to culminate with this swarm that filled both regions, apparently from a different region entirely. Apparently they had all rushed to this place to stop two groups of people from destroying the world with powerful legendary Pokemon.

_{[Henry is ALSO SAD AND COLD HE HATES OUTSIDE. Why did he agree to go on this trip?]}

There's a secret stash of canned sausages in my room under the dresser if you guys need it.

[video]

[ossifragant]

....why do you have canned sausages under the dresser?

[shuttermouse]

A Legendary Pokémon showing up sounds like fun. I hope it happens.

[ ...Chie no. ]

video;

[ossifragant]

Hey, it's happened before.

It might be kind of cool.

[Chie yes.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well, I guess if we never get back, you'll know it was because we got stepped on by a legendary ice-type.

Like-- a glacier with a face or something.

[Video]

[ossifragant]

[Actually...]

I'm pretty sure that's actually a Pokemon.

A regular one, not legendary or anything.
