Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Shadows of the Past [Full]

Just want to put it out there that my posts are probably going to be ~2 paragraphs at least for now, which I can tell is pretty short here. Until now, I've spent most of my time on Free, so I'm still getting used to writing consistently long posts. I'll try to get better about that, and I hope it isn't an issue.

Jaki arrived before Pip did, practically tripping over herself and barely stopping short of Zaru. She looked frantically toward Spirit, and then back towards Zaru, wild-eyed. "Zaru! Spirit didn't notice we were late, right? Me an' Pip were out so long yesterday, poor li'l guy slept in!" She explained, trying and failing to keep her voice low. She glanced behind her to see Pip coming in from the hallway, immediately standing beside her. He avoided looking up at Spirit, hoping he hadn't noticed their absence.
"Are there any apples left, Zaru? I'm starved, and so is Pip. Right, buddy?" Jaki playfully tapped the little Kricketot on the head.
Pip nodded, looking quickly up at Zaru before looking away. "Yeah, real hungry." he said softly, absently kicking his feet.

The bluish early-morning light streamed in through the small, high window that neither Pip nor Jaki could reach. The little bug Pokemon chirped anxiously at the still-sleeping Jaki. They had been out all day yesterday on a particularly difficult mission (though most of the other teams could have done it in half the time), and Jaki was still in a deep, exhausted sleep all this time later. Nervous about getting in trouble, Pip went out the door and looked down the hallway: no one was there. At least they hadn't been missed yet; he scurried back into the room and tried to wake Jaki up again.
"J-Jaki! We've slept in again!" Pip chirped, trying and failing to shake her awake. "If Spirit finds out, we could be in big trouble!"
"Mmhm..." Jaki groaned, slowly waking up. She sat up and shook her head, clearly still groggy. "Pip, it's still evening. It's even still light outside; why did you wake me up?"
Pip shook his head, his antennae twitching with nervous energy. "It's not evening, Jaki, it's almost sunrise!"
Jaki jumped out of her bed immediately. "What?? Pip, you overslept again! We have to get going right now!" She ran out of the room, down the hall, and towards the main room. Pip lagged behind her, having no wings and very short legs.

Personally, I think that connection orbs don't work nearly as well in writing as the boards do. I think they had their place in the game, but they don't really make sense outside of SMD and wouldn't add anything to the RP that the mission boards couldn't add, and better. I think boards would just fit better into the setting.
It's Keldeo's call, but that's just what I think. :D

@Shiny Keldeo Maybe we should just use the good old system of having boards that rescue teams read to find Pokemon who are in trouble or wanted posters for criminals?

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Shadows of the Past [Full]

Name: Pip

Gender: Male

Pokemon: Kricketot

Backstory: Was raised by his doting mother Lyra, a Kricketune that was an intelligent and influential member of Valiant Village. He called her "Ma" and always admired her, though she was very stern. She went missing a few months ago when she tried to rescue another Pokemon from a dungeon, but neither of them ever came back.

Personality: Pip is very quiet, thoughtful, and often nervous around new people. He's a very level-headed and calm Pokemon, not as rash and abrasive like his best friend Jaki. His moves utilize his strengths, namely singing and bug-type moves that he's known since he was hatched, because he's not inherently a very good fighter. He was frequently bullied by bigger and stronger Pokemon when he was younger. He hopes that by fighting alongside Jaki and helping others he can become stronger. He admires and misses his mother, who was headstrong and brave; he hopes to find out what happened to her by going through dungeons and exploring.

Team: Team Clawtune, with Jaki

Moveset:

• Growl
• Sing
• Headbutt
• Bug Buzz

Special Features: From a physical standpoint, he's just a normal Kricketot.

Name: Jaki

Gender: Female

Pokemon: Gligar

Backstory: Jaki has no idea where her parents are; they disappeared when she was a young hatchling. She fended for herself in the wilderness for a long time before arriving in Valiant Village, where Lyra adopted her. After Lyra disappeared, Jaki made it her goal to become an explorer and formed a rescue team with Pip to not only find their dear Ma, but altos help anyone else who needed it.

Personality: Jaki is hawkish and quarrelsome, a natural-born fighter. She's often very warm towards others, and in known around town for her loud and cheerful personality. She's very impulsive and fiery, and she's as quick to pick a fight as she is to crack a joke. Jaki is very protective of Pip, whom she fully considers to be her baby brother.

Team: Team Clawtune, with Pip

Moveset:

• Poison Jab
• Fury Cutter
• Brick Break
• Screech

Special Features: She's notably smaller than the average Gligar, measuring about 2' head-to-tail instead of 3' head-to-tail, a fact that vexes her daily.
