[jujube]

@iKatamalicioushi! Glad to have you here!

@prettydrops
Hi there! I'm glad to be here~

I posted my character sheet in the characters forum and I'm going to make my first post shortly!

@iKatamalicious

I can only assume Margo is taking a breather at the Pokemon center. Perfect set up for Daniel or Indigo's next post to bump into her.

[iKatamalicious]

@Balthazar007

Yup! I figured that would be the easiest way for them to get introduced! :)

[TheForgottenArc]

I'd like to personally say hello and welcome to this Rp!

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc

Lol. Your posts be like "That girl's interesting." Then "... squirrel!: And "...maybe I should talk to her *kicking up dust and rocking from side to side*)

@iKatamalicious

Guess the ball's in her court as far as breaking the ice and saying the first words.

Solid posts everyone. I don't see a reason for me to post yet.

[iKatamalicious]

@TheForgottenArc
Hello, thanks for having me!

[jujube]

@iKatamalicious im ready for some ic drama.@TheForgottenArc dan might have to do some damage control xp

Thisll be interesting!

[jujube]

@TheForgottenArc omg im so sorry indy didnt respond to your char's question. im editing right away!

[TheForgottenArc]

@prettydrops It's all good, I wanted Dan to be a little defensive in this scene if it's all good, What happens next is up to you two.

[jujube]

@TheForgottenArcI thought it was an appropriate reaction! good job. Your posts have really been improving!

@iKatamalicious now will Margo believe indy's shoddy excuse or... haha.

let me know if i need to edit this post or im dragging this out too long, guys. I just love characters talking like this. i know you want to train forgottenarc, so i'll try to finish having my fun soon! I just love good character interaction and dialogue in an rp though! it also helps set up some good setting for indigo's slow but sure development!

[iKatamalicious]

@TheForgottenArc I loved Dan's post! That's exactly what I wanted-- I was thinking maybe Dan could suggest going to train with Indy and maybe Margo sheepishly asks to come along with you guys, or if you wanted to train with her as well?? Maybe we can spin it like they all go blow off some steam and get properly introduced by training together or something like that ?

[jujube]

okay guys, floor's set. either margo can ask to go in the next post, or forgottenarc, you can ask margo to come along! either way is good with me!

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops@iKatamalicious@TheForgottenArc

Good posts everyone. I'm excited to see our third starting to enter the story.

On a side note, has anyone seen the "Zach Morris is Trash" series on YouTube? If Indy keeps having exchanges like this one, he'll need his own series. Lol. No offense to prettydrops; he's written well. He just needs a lot of growing up. Lol

Also, I'm emplimenting a new policy. Starting now, Pokemon can only gain a level by significantly lowering their stamina (i.e losses, close battles, consecutive easy battles, intense solo training, etc.) If I decide to give your Pokemon a level, that means it should be too exhausted to battle for a while. You'll have to either visit a Pokemon Center, use a potion/healing item, or wait about 6 IC hours for them to rest in their Pokeball.

The daily limit just didn't make sense after a trip to the Pokemon center.

Thanks!

[jujube]

@Balthazar007sounds good to me! yeah that seems like a good system! and most definitely indy needs to grow up, but hey, what 16 year old doesn't? xP

also, so excited for the first contest!

finally, balth would you mind putting a day counter in the first ic post? today marks the fourth day of their journey I think. it just helps me gauge how fast things are going for character development purposes!

@prettydrops

I shouldn't have to. It would feel redundant. We started on May 1st, and I'm keeping track of the days as we go.

Also, it's totally cool if ya'll want to train a little more, but your Pokemon aren't that far behind what the Gym Leader and Head Coordinator will be using. They will be using three Pokemon each at levels 11, 13, and 15. I just don't want you to spend tons of time training only to find out that you didn't NEED to do so. Of course, this information is purely for your discretion; there is no way your characters themselves would know this.

[Balthazar007]

@prettydrops@iKatamalicious@TheForgottenArc

Also, would you all like to start using a monetary system that you have to keep track of, OR would you like something more like a voucher/barter system that would be less trouble to track but is not cannon/classic. I ask since you just arrived at a town that has a Poke Mart.

[jujube]

@Balthazar007either sound good to me, but could you explain the voucher system a little more? I might personally be leaning towards that since it's less to track, but just a quick example?

@prettydrops

Say you beat a trainer. Instead of giving you money, they can give you a voucher that can be redeemed for a certain item or certain number of items. You'll store vouchers in your bag just like other items. Basically they would be items that are meant to be traded in for functional items. In a sense, it's just a more simple form of currency. Also, items like your pearls would have trade in value.

PS: I just updated the music. :)

[jujube]

hmmm, i'm okay with either guys! but actually, i might prefer the regular currency. only because i just remembered indigo is trying to pay his parents back for all the expenses he piled up from cinnabar xD but i can make either work! lmk what you guys think.
