Gonna Be A Great Day - Open Mingle

[acmellash]

Once everyone was able to connect to the worlds even despite the worries that abounded, business seemed to work as usual as the people of Ultra Metropolis seemed to also have their own festivals even in this world. Today, they had invited everyone into their world as a show of good faith, as the sky was lit up with the light of stars as the brilliant stars above were glittering despite the radiance of the Etemax Tree far away on the coast.

The people of Paxio were really welcoming, and some of them would love to battle the newcomers. But more importantly, it was Alolans who were really bringing their delicious fruits, foods and vegetables to the land as the beach zone was lit up with beautiful lanterns.

It's very magical, and there's actually some good stuff about this world, as the people of Duckburg, Crystal Cove, Ultra Metropolis and Alola mingled. And you should take this time to relax, it's going to be some time before anything will be done. The Kahuna are meeting with the leaders of each world right now, so don't worry too much about it.

[Open mingle post, have fun everyone! Food and delightful beach fun. It is tropical after all.]

come on kids it's newbie time

[blackplantasia]

Edward is already heavily acquainted with the concept of world-hopping. He already went through it once with Ryslig, again with Felfri, and now once more with his unceremonious plop into Duckburg. After a great deal of immigration proceedings in the hospital and some background inter-spatial communications, he's been yet again shuffled into another world. Now he sits on the beach under the stars of Ultra Metropolis, his tail curled up into his lap.

The contrast is astonishing to him. It feels like an eternity since he first washed up onto the sands of Vandare's beach, his body incredibly worse for wear and his mind foggier than the Fog God herself. His life had been ripped violently away from its course on that day, for better or otherwise. He never would've dreamed of seeing the ocean from Cevedal. And now?

Now he's watching the sky unfold in laps of deep deep blue.

Ed is so lost in thought that he doesn't hear anyone approaching until they're right upon him, the sudden registry of sound startling him into rigidity, kicking up some sand as his feet prepare to spring away. "O-oh! I didn't... see you there, ah... It's, uh, very pretty here?

"...are you far from home too?"

NPC - I.Z.U.

[fallers_npcs]

I.Z.U. who was accompanying the others on duties, was standing placidly to the side when Edward asked her the question. There was an audible sound of processing as if she was blinking before replying, "We are approximately 1.5 million light years away from home, so yes, relatively speaking we are far far away from home."

[blackplantasia]

Ed stares for a hot little minute as he himself tries to process what was just said to him. He doesn't know what a light year is, but over a million is definitely a lot of something. "Eheh, f-fair enough..."

He begins to relax after his initial start. "Everyone here's been so nice to me, saying they've been expecting me, not to worry..."

He frowns. "They're not doing this out of fear, right? Like they aren't bracing for something terrible to happen in the near future, like, say, turning into a man-eating monster about a month from now...?" If he's got the date right, it should be about arrival time by now, he thinks...

[fallers_npcs]

"Humans require time to relax and recover from an ordeal," replied I.Z.U. "Even in the most stressful moments of time, there are times when people require time to relax."

Her eyes flickered in calculations. "By my calculations Team Rainbow Rocket will not make a move for another few weeks, requiring our strength. Which is why we will need all of our strength at the time being."

[blackplantasia]

Well, that's as good of a "no" as any, so Edward rolls and relaxes his shoulders with a sigh. So it's a recovery period, then. What a relief! "Well, the rest is definitely appreciated...!"

He's still a little confused about the specifics of this Rainbow Rocket conflict, but he can certainly tell that it's serious. He seems to have kept the majority of his Pooka features, and his whole body feels the pulse of the earth once again, so he's sure he can lend a hand even without these strange "Pokémon" creatures.

"Oh, right, I'm sorry...!" He flashes a toothy grin. "You can call me Edward. How are you called?"

[fallers_npcs]

"I am I.Z.U." replied I.Z.U. "I am a AI designed to govern the Ultra Rider system from afar in order to pilot the travel system that we have set up. Now that it is more apparent that it is in need more than ever."

[blackplantasia]

Hm! That's a lot of words Edward doesn't really understand. He's at least vaguely familiar with the Ultra Rider system, but even 'vaguely' is a pretty strong word. As such, there's a bit of distance in his eyes, but he nevertheless is interested. "That's... pretty neat, honestly! You sound super important."

He rubs the back of his head. "I'm not very, uh, good with technology," he confesses, "so I might have some trouble understanding how these places work. I'll put in my best effort, though!"

A pause. "...do you like doing what you do?"

[blue_ice]

"We all are. Join the club."

There's a tall human with a long white coat billowing behind him, keeping a respectable distance. The small blue chameleon-like creature at his side, however, is not.

A small Sobble approaches, making a curious noise. Kaiba opts to translate.

"Goliath always worries about people thinking too hard."

[blackplantasia]

"F-fair enough..." It really is like Ryslig all over again. Minus all the body horror and people-eating, anyway.

Edward watches as the chameleon approaches. He dangles his tail near enough to Goliath for it to play with the fur on the tip. "N'aww, you don't gotta worry about me, buddy!" He's unsure whether to take the 'thinking too hard' bit as anything but an insult, though...

His attention shifts to the man. "I guess it's not the worst place I've been. The people here look so carefree...

"...I'm, uh... You can call me Edward. 'n you?"
