Bio
This is my second profile on here, and I have been Play-By-Post RPing for about nine years now. I do my best to see every RP to the end or at least let my character come to his/her own dramatic conclusion when I feel like signing off. Just like novel writing in real life, I tend to find myself on long hiatuses. Since writing is a great way to work out your brain, I try stay engaged as much as possible.
My favorite genres include futuristic worlds, mysteries, and super powers. Any mixture of these three elements will peek my interest.

Nice post, nice post. But my question for you is this, when do you want the IC day to resume. Still the same day, but just after nightfall? Or are you skipping all the way to the day of the festival?
Also, the temples and stuff would be closed if it's night time, but Margo could check them out "tomorrow". But yeah, there is plenty I can think to do if you're wanting a night time excursion.

I see your two IC posts, and I will call them with two more, in the morning.
I'm drinking off a long day at the moment. ;)

When Malcolm kicked the camp stove and shouted, the wild Patrat ran away in fear. And so, after packing his things away, Malcolm continued onward. He arrived at the restaurant just before 3pm. "The Fort, Saloon and Eatery" was clearly more of a bar than a restaurant. It wan't very busy yet, with only a few people at the bar and half the tables full.
Malcolm was greeted with a frown by one of the servers. When Malcolm told her he was hear to work, she gave him a fake smile then went to get the manager. The manager was all business when he arrived. He ushered Malcolm to the kitchen as quickly as possible, clearly embarrassed by Malcolm's appearance.
The "training" was brief. Bobby (the manager) showed Malcolm how to operate the large, outdated dishwasher, and he showed where to put all the dishes after they had dried. Nobody else talked to Malcolm the whole time. Everyone seemed to be avoiding him. Malcolm got to work straight away, washing the pots and pans left over from the cooks preparing for the day.
The first two hours would go by rather steady, making Malcolm think this might just be easy. But by 5:00pm, dishes started piling up. No matter how fast he moved, the stacks kept getting higher. And as it would turn out, taking out the trash and unclogging a toilet were also part of the job.
(OOC Note: You mind if we ignore the times mentioned in past posts. I say this because, in real life, the restaurant where this takes place, doesn't open till 3pm. Or we could go back and adjust our timelines. Sorry about that. lol.)

The nearby forest was a short 15 minute walk north from the Pokemon Lab. The forest wasn't that large. Even in the heart of it, you could hear the sound of cars on the roads that circled it. Still, it was a forest nonetheless, and Faye was already seeing Pokemon that she normally wouldn't in the hustle and bustle of the city.
Of course, there were Weedle all about and Kakuna hanging from the occasional tree, so there had to be Beedrill somewhere around, which would be something to be careful for, for sure. Spinarak climbed through the trees, which meant she would also need to watch for territorial Ariados.
Then after a good bit of walking around, she came across a less common sight, a wild Snivy. It was fighting off two Spinarak at once, and doing a decent job considering its type disadvantage. Still, two against one would not work for much longer.
(OOC Note: I'd say that, since this forest isn't that large and still close to the city, all the Pokemon here are fairly weak. No Pokemon here is over level 10. A pokedex scan can tell what level they are at, which is something you can decide. As long as they are under level 10, I'm fine with it. I don't need to decide for you. In fact, I'd rather not, to save time.)

Working on a post! :)
How's that post coming? :)

Oh, and one small detail from working in a restaurant.
It sounded like Malcolm thinks he'll be washing dishes by hand. Actually, he'll be loading and unloading a big dishwashing machine that runs dishes through on a track. He'll have to rinse the dishes off before putting them in of course, and he'll have to put the dishes away, but no bending over a sink washing by hand. Still, on a busy weekend, being a dishwasher is a frustrating job, as the dishes become an endless, restless task.
I serve in real life, but I have mad respect for the dishwashers.

So I'm getting ready to work a double today. Feel free to write to your heart's content in my absence. You can control wild Pokemon and even create and control NPCs within your posts.
I'll see where we're at tomorrow morning and get a post in before I go in for the night shift. And FYI, I work at a restaurant. Weekends are my busy times.

Faye walked out of the Pokemon Lab, barely able to believe everything had gone so smoothly. She was now a proud new trainer with a Pokemon, five Pokeballs, and a sleek Pokedex. Professor Brown didn't have any specific assignments for her at the moment. His instructions for now were simply to explore, ask the Pokedex questions, and have fun.
What would she do now? The possibilities were endless, but at the same time, that was a little scary.

The wild Patrat jumped into the air three times. With each jump he caught another berry in his mouth. Once all three berries were ate, the Pokemon smiled wide, obviously thankful. He then took three leaps toward Malcolm, till he was looking up at the young man. He tilted his head and stared, waiting for Malcolm's next move. Now would be the perfect opportunity to throw a Pokeball, if Malcolm had one to spare.
