Pokemon: The Spectre Conspiracy

Welcome back to Kalos Region, ladies and gentlemen. It's been a solid five years since the whole crisis with Team Flare came and went, and the esteemed Professor Sycamore has moved on to other regions to further his research into Mega Evolution. So who, just who, would take over his research? Meet Professor Apple, a Unova-born genius who shared Sycamore's interest in Pokemon evolution. She's gathered up a group young would-be Trainers from across the Kalos Region via mail, explaining her interest in Pokemon research and how her studies mostly have her tied down in Lumiose City. Naturally, they accepted. The appointed group is to meet up at Aquacorde City, where they are to finally meet Professor Apple in person and receive their first Pokemon.

The time has finally come. A small band of young aspiring Trainers-to-be have gathered at Aquacorde Town, where Professor Apple is waiting for them.

Rules/information to keep in mind:

• Of course, no powerplaying/godmodding.
• Be reasonable in your decisions. I won't punish you for whatever choice you make regarding the plot. I probably will punish you if you, say, provoke a notably more powerful enemy.
• Don't expect a lot of gore/sexual content; besides being a Pokemon rp, the age cap for player characters is 14. Swearing is alright though.
• As the plot will be driven by your decisions, I strongly urge everyone to communicate, either via PM or in the OOC.
• If you are a slow poster or unable to post for a while, please notify me.
• There is something of a dibs list - that is, one a player has claimed a certain pokemon species, other players may not claim it without express permission. The idea is to reduce confusion and fighting over ‘duplicates’, particularly for plot-relevant pokemon. It can be presented upon request.
• Due to your GM controlling several rps, IC posting may be slow. OOC posting will be semi-constant.
• The rules and available information may change, but I will post the changes before editing them in, and there will be no punishment for anyone who broke a rule before it was made.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

@carla6677 I understand this. Just, I have a college class to get to, plus an interest check to post today. So not sure how much I'll be able to help. But can help.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

@carla6677 I mean, I can try a bit, sure. Not sure how long I'll be around for.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

@MissCapnCrunch I have a character idea that I really want to use but is it too late
If I do make her she will swear quite a bit but I will skip those bits

@carla6677

I get the impression we'll be able to sign up characters again Sophomore Year? Since I also came up with a few concepts to toss into the rp. Just jot your idea down for now.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

Let's be ENTIRELY fair - MsKennedy also suggested Ezera sitting by Ebony.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

OK. We have thirty students in the same class. I'm assuming the desks will be placed in 6 rows and 5 columns. Like this

* * Sadie Selene *

* * * * *

* * Poetry * *

* * * * *

* * * * *

* * * * * Derek wants anywhere on the back. He doesn't care which.

(*Note. I went ahead and placed my characters where they decided to sit.)

@alexfangtalon

I think this would be best for Selene, considering her condition?

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

I wonder if anyone is going to make a treat request of Sadie.

@alexfangtalon

Selene may ask if she can help her figure out what she's doing wrong. She'd LIKE to bake, but she's all thumbs, to use the expression.

Aʀʀᴏᴡsᴍɪᴛʜ: Fʀᴇsʜᴍᴀɴ Yᴇᴀʀ

IC, still guessing game. Candy's been handed out by Selene, Amelia's stated part of her backstory, and Sadie's up now.

Old One Rising (A Lovecraftian adventure-horror RP) (Reboot)

Short post is short. Also, @gohKamikaze, I'd be down for that, sure!

Jeremiah Dupree

Physical state: Chilled but healthy
Mental state: Somewhat confused

The door had opened. Jeremiah had not touched it, and at first he suspected Emil was leaving. Then he heard footsteps - someone actually approaching the door. A thread out of line with the pattern, not where it was supposed to be to have its best effect. Was now the time? The time to meet Faye Desdemona in person, just himself and Emil? And, incidentally, the time to remind Emil of the consequences he was facing?

The door opened. It was Emil who faced him and, just behind him, a haggard exhausted-looking woman who bore the faintest resemblance to the photographic plate he had seen. It was a surprise but, for now, not one he'd dare react to. She did not need that.

"Professor Dupree..."

Oh the ways to respond. He was silent for a moment, the urge to remind Emil of the consequences should a true doctor come by rattling in his skull. Of course he was annoyed at the deception, to say the least. But those consequences were far more dire, particularly if they ever intended to speak with Faye Desdemona ever again.

"These... circumstances can be addressed later," he finally said. "They waste time we do not have - our presence will surely be missed soon." He stepped into the room, past Emil. "Though I don't suppose we had a 'Jeremy' in our group, did we?" She had requested his presence as well. She had, through means unknown to him, managed to call Emil to her, even risking imprisonment to speak with her. He turned to her, sitting on the bed still. "Hello. It is much better to be on this side of the door to speak with you, if I may so myself." He was not going to feign ignorance or surprise at the implied invitation to speak with a supposed madwoman. He did not like thinking their time was short but, well, it likely was. If no one missed the coat Emil now wore, surely Dr. Atkins would miss the two of them. Professor Dupree did consider himself something of a friend to the fellow teacher, and he had seemed interested in Emil. Their presence would not go missed, no matter the importance of the situation. Worse yet, attempting to explain would result in the two becoming cell mates of the one they now stood face to face with. "I assume you have told Emil what he-" Jeremiah trailed off briefly, considering his options. "-what he may be allowed to know?"

That was well-established. Faye Desdemona knew things, and what she knew did not necessarily need to be known by others, but by happenstance and the threads of the universe it might be learned regardless. But not by her.
