event two | recycle, reduce, reuse!

[chims]

CHARACTERS: Everyone!
DATE: April 21st~23rd
RATING: PG for pointy sticks and garbage death!
SUMMARY: Earth Day weekend isn't really a holiday, right...? But there's ten tons of recyclable garbage littered all over Mac Anu! Perhaps if you do your part and help clean the town there'll be another prize in it for you, huh? Hey, if nothing else, you have pointy sticks to stab garbage with-- take your stress out!

Mac Anu is a sore sight today, littered in recyclable goods, with empty plastic bottles floating in the harbor and the smallest scraps of cardboard and discarded cans in every nook and cranny. It may seem like a prank at first, until one notices the clearly-labeled recycling bins around the fountain with sharp metal-tipped sticks and mesh bags just begging to be picked up and put to use. The GMs are nowhere to be seen, but...

...There's an Out to Lunch sign on the Quest Kiosk. Maybe one will turn up sooner or later...? It's a pretty straightforward objective, if a tedious one. Mind the ends, and don't go stabbing each other's feet!


( ooc | Apologies for the late event log! This is a bitty event, and the prize is a wee one-- as thanks for picking up the town and restoring it to a spic 'n span state, we'll ensure you get plenty, plenty of item drops to make up for it! Everyone will receive lvl.1 Simple Bracelets and Simple Necklaces modified with the item Dowsing Chain, which increases item drops by monsters 25%. They'll be titled "Search Bracelet" or "Search Necklace" and everyone can use them. )

[ But if you're crouching down someone can fall over you...!!

Wait, that's an invitation right? OKAY HERE WE GO--

Have one (1) Oz Vessalius topple right over you]

Oof!!

[solveforn]

[Ack! N falls over, scrambling to collect the bottles escaping from his bag.]

[noisyclockhands]

[ Good reflexes! Oz for his part is still rolling for a bit--

but he'll be sitting up soon enough, rubbing his head ]

Owuch. That kind of hurt

[solveforn]

What were you doing?

[People here are so ditzy and clumsy that N just doesn't know what to do with you all!]

[noisyclockhands]

Ahh, I had thought that there was something in the sky but it was only this seriously fat guy! [ pocket them?? but Oz might actually object to that rather passionately ] You aren't hurt, are you, Mister?

[solveforn]

No, I'm not hurt. My cans and bottles are rolling off, though.

[noisyclockhands]

[ A moment to consider what Sprout is saying here and then Oz, with the true agility of a silly bunny, dives after some of the cans and--

throws them back at you. N, you better be a really good catcher! ]

Here, don't let them drop again! This shouldn't be too much work like this!

[solveforn]

[N can catch them no problem. All the practice with Pokeballs helped, after all.]

I won't drop them if I don't fall over again.

[noisyclockhands]

Don't blend too much into your surroundings then! That will only make people think that you're kind of creepy anyway

[ Oz has...no shame. We are sorry ]

[solveforn]

It will? I wasn't aware of that.

[Oh no Oz no don't teach N dumb things!!]

[noisyclockhands]

Of course. They will think that you're spying on them!

[ is his naïveté!dar going off? it sure feels like it - which means that N should either leave or just. plug his ears ]

[solveforn]

But spies aren't seen, by the nature of their objective.

[And N is totally speaking from experience here. Yeesh.]

[noisyclockhands]

Not every spy is good at their job, you know~

[....why can't Oz meet sane, sensible people? brb chucking some more cans at you {the angles might be a bit fantastical}]

[solveforn]

[He's able to catch most of them, at least.]

I haven't encountered such a problem.

[noisyclockhands]

[ That is actually kind of annoying :T ]

Are you saying you've done that before?

[solveforn]

[He plays with Pokemon all day, he knows how to play catch!]

Not myself, no. I had a triad of "spies" that looked into things on my behalf, to ensure things were going as I desired.

They were also good for my curiosity. There was quite a bit I wished to know.

combo~

[noisyclockhands]

[noisyclockhands]

[noisyclockhands]

[noisyclockhands]

I really don't get the people in this place

finis~

[noisyclockhands]

You know, this is not something you can mention in such a casual manner.

[solveforn]

Is it?

[He genuinely doesn't seem to quite understand why. There's a glimpse of vague understanding of the paranoia, but spies never really held that sense of danger to him.

After all, what good would a spy against him do? He didn't lie or keep secrets.]

I have no use for them in a place like this. Would there really be a reason for anyone to feel uneasy?

[noisyclockhands]

Don't tell me you really have no clue. . .

[ Oz is beginning to feel the dire consequences of brainbreak here. Somehow, this place is full of trolls and then social-dumbs - both of these groups are kind. hard on the head.

And, oh N, you are so much better than Oz here. The bunny is lying and hiding like a pro, idiot-face and all ]

The question is rather, why would anyone believe you? You used unfair methods before after all.

[solveforn]

Unfair methods? I have never harmed anyone with anything I have done.

[And that's true, too. Though as he goes on, speaking a mile a minute, he doesn't quite help his own case.]

I wanted to know the hearts of the humans whose Pokemon loved them. I wanted to know what sorts of humans were good to the Pokemon they took with them to battle at their side. I had only heard of cruel trainers, before then, and I wanted to see more.

And there was one trainer in particular I had wished to know more of... they were pursuing the Truth.

[noisyclockhands]

That's not what matters! The thing is, people will care that you used sneaky methods before! [ ...this is really rather topsy-turvy. Getting Oz of all people to tell you about trickery. . .

and wao hey, don't forget to breathe will you?! ]

Most people simply - ask, you know? It's more fun if you actually get to talk with people instead of just watching them from the shadows that only makes you really creepy.

[ leaning back now that the cans are collected and caught, weight on his hands. For someone who keeps on grumbling about how weird you are he seems pretty comfortable here ]

Are pokemon common where you come from?
