Week 3.

[trustmods]

WEEK 3 Two more people are dead. Byakuren Hijiri has been murdered and Undyne has been executed. That brings us up to four deaths and twenty-five remaining Participants. You're doing well. Take all of Saturday to rest and sleep. You've earned it. On Sunday morning, the clock chimes the hour at seven o'clock. With no more bodies to be discovered, it seems you're safe for the time being. That said, you'll be feeling a little groggy when you wake up; it seems you've remembered something else. Or was that another really bizarre dream? Like last week, there's a new floor to explore. A reward for your efforts, of course. There's something else new, however, and as you approach the foyer you might hear the beautiful sound of... chickens? Chickens. Those are definitely chickens. It looks like Tabby's petition has worked, you have chosen chickens. Perhaps even more important are the rule changes, effective immediately. You might want to take note of them. PARTICIPANTS REMAINING: 25

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Oh, right, right.

...But the chickens are pretty small, too, especially now that I've figured out what Pokemon they actually remind me of --- very, very vaguely, mind you. Combusken has just enough in common with them that I think they might be "equivalents," but they're about as different as night and day even with that in mind.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Hm... I...don't remember that one. [She really isn't as good at this as her friends would be...] A lot of animals I see around are, you know...holdable. At least rabbits and cats and things...

[...Is it socially acceptable to pet a Beedrill? Is that something she can do?]

[oftheland]

Well, that's true for most unevolved Pokemon, honestly... it's only when you get into evolutions that they tend to be bigger than the average toddler.

[yes, you may indeed pet the bee. then you will have made a powerful ally, which won't matter when death hits but. you know.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

All animals start of small, relatively, and the bigger ones just kind of grow into what they're supposed to be... Comparative. I've never really thought about it before, since...this was all just supposed to be a game.

[look, if you're going to die, you might as well pet all the pokémon you can, it'd be a goddamn tragedy if you didn't. pet pet. this is so weird.]

[oftheland]

...oh, so it's like how humans grow up instead of like how Pokemon evolve, then? At least, that's the sort of impression I'm getting from that.

[yes, pet every pokemon. do your best, ashley.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

It's exactly like that, actually. ...I didn't expect him to be so fuzzy.

[the bee feels nice c: ]

[oftheland]

Yeah, it's kind of strange... even where I'm from, if you don't train them, you expect them to be kind of just smooth, but they actually feel a lot different than that.

[beedril likes this, you're a-okay ashley]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Cross petting a bee off her bucket list. well okay she has to add it to her bucket list first but]

...What do others feel like?

[oftheland]

Hmm... I'm trying to think about ones you'd be familiar with. You know Dugtrio, right? I guess that's one where it's kind of unexpected.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Dugtrio? Oh, the... [She mimes three little half-circles.] Yeah, I know it.

[oftheland]

Well, I don't know what you'd expect them to feel like, but they're actually really soft and velvet-y. I feel like they'd be a lot more popular if they weren't stuck in the ground.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I expected something hard, rocky. That's the exact opposite.

[oftheland]

Well, they are only ground, and to be fair, Geodude feels exactly like what you'd expect. Though... I think people expect Dugtrio and Diglett to be drier and dustier than they are, really.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

...I always got those two mixed up. Rock, ground.

[oftheland]

...don't worry, a lot of people in Kanto seem to get them mixed up pretty often. It doesn't help that in a lot of cases, they're seen in combination...

[hashtagafreakingghost]

What...is the difference?

[oftheland]

They've got different strengths and weaknesses, mostly. Like, in the attacking sense, Rock is super effective against Flying types, but Ground doesn't affect them at all unless you use some kind of move that would bring them down to the earth. Also, Rock resists Normal moves, but Ground doesn't.

Those are some very basic things, mind. If you wanted me to go into every detail, we could be here for the next few weeks.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Huh. You're kind of an expert it sounds like.

[oftheland]

Heh, well, I don't like to brag about it too much, because I still have a lot to learn, but I definitely know a thing or two about the type.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

...Could you teach me a bit more sometime?

[While gently scritching the bee.]

I like...learning new things.

[oftheland]

Oh, absolutely. I can tell you everything you'd like to know... and some things you might not.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[She flashes a smile. ...Well, not really a smile. A ghost-of-a-smile. A shadow-smile. An almost smile.]

I don't think that's possible, Mr. Giovanni.

[oftheland]

You know I'm just going to take that as a challenge.
