WELCOME TO FALLERS - PATCH 1.1 OVER THE RAINBOW



WELCOME TO FALLERS RPG PATCH 1.1: OVER THE RAINBOW!


Welcome one and all and Alola! to the Alola Region! The peaceful islands of Alola is once again, brought forth it’s beautiful Manalo Festival. But on this day, strange things are happening!

On this day, Ultra Holes are opening up, all over the Islands, and people known as Fallers are arriving on the island from other worlds. What sort of strangeness has this prompted such amazing things?

To this end, President Lusamine has re-mobilized her Ultra Guardians in response, and has created a response team from them to help these Fallers recover from the shock of arrival!

But that’s not all. It seems the Tapus have taken note of these Fallers and their uniqueness, and have nudged Pokemon and Eggs towards them, to be recovered by them. What new and exciting things will they see?

Perhaps we will see, as the Fallers are allowed to roam Melemele, for now, as guided tours of the other three Islands and Aether Paradise and Manalo Stadium will be given in short order. For now, homes will be provided for those who have been displaced from their homes until a suitable solution for their situation has been found.

IC: The Four Kahuna and President Lusamine's Address


At the top of the hour, when all the Fallers have gathered at the Manalo Festival Center, Hala, the Kahuna of Melemele, stands at the platform. His voice rings out clear and true across the people.

"People of Alola! On the day of the Radiant One's revival, once again the Ultra Holes have opened up over Alola. This time, people of many nations have arrived in our lands. We, the Kahunas; Olivia, Nanu, Hapu and I, as well as President Lusamine of Aether Foundation, has decided to allow these people to seek shelter and refuge in our lands."

"This is but a temporary solution," said Olivia, taking her turn. "We hope the people of Alola will take these people in with open arms, in their times of need and help them recover."

"Many of them, after interviewing some, come from broken and tired worlds," said Nanu. "Struggles from near and far, have become known to us. It is our hope that our worlds will become closer as a result."

"As such, we have reformed a powerful force indeed to deal with the crisis at hand," said Hapu, as the stage buckled and moved, revealing a team of children dressed in Ride Uniforms, led by Ash Ketchum. "You may know them as the participants in the first Alola Conference!"

"The Ultra Guardians have served to protect Alola from the Ultra Beasts in secret," said Lusamine. "It is our hope with the cooperation of Madam Bewear and her Family," and they indicated the massive Bewear and Stufful who stood at the back of the crowd with Jessie, James and the rest of Team Rocket in their Civilian Outfits, "that we will be able to intercept Fallers and recover them and bring them to a safe location at all points in time in the day and help them acclimate to the world."

"Please, everyone give us your support!" Exclaimed Hala.

As one, the people of Alola roared as the assigned family members, started greeting their newfound adoptees with bright "Alolas!" and "Cousins!"


IC: Gamewide Mingle


As Fallers, you may explore the island, learn about the place, and interact with the various NPCs on request. There are several to meet and different locations to explore!

Pokemon School: A place of learning, the school has opened its doors temporarily for shelter while deciding what to do with the mass influx of people from other worlds. Those who stay will be located to homes. Enrollment into the classes will be optional, and will start in the end of Summer.

Aina Cafeteria: A wonderful restaurant run by Mallow and her father, they run a tight ship of food, and wholesome meals for those to enjoy. You can even work here if you want.

Beaches: Sun, surf, fun, many places here for relaxing and fishing and other such fun. You can go swimming, surfing and using Ride Pokemon to travel and Jetski on.

Tapu Koko’s Forest: A place full of life and Pokemon, learning about this place as it covers most of the area is a wonderful idea as the forest covers a good portion of the island.

Honey Fields: The local bird Pokemon Oricorio frequent this place, and there’s plenty to see here. A relaxing place, with honey and flowers everywhere.

Hau’oli City The main city of Melemele, this is where all the action is! Food, venues, shops, Pokemon, the Market, everything is here. Even your new homes.

IC: PROMPTS!


You can make up your prompts from here! But a selection of ideas are below from the TDM.

1. Arrival
You’ve just arrived! While not an ideal prompt for your test sample, it makes for a good testing for your first reaction here! Having fallen, gotten off the boat or plane from another region, your passport is stamped and processed. If you’re a Native, there’s plenty to see, and can go about your day. But if you’re a Faller, there’s a tour guide waiting for you. Just hold on tight!


2. The Sandy Beaches
Perhaps you’ve had the time to acclimate yourself to the area, and just want to relax now. It’s time to relax in the sunny beach, throw yourself onto the sand and surf, and just chill. You’ve had a long,tough time, and now just want to sleep. Or maybe you’re too excited! This is another world, or another region! Perhaps you’ve been planning this trip to Alola for ages, and now its time to play! The choice is yours!


3. Shopping
What’s a trip to Alola without shopping. There’s food, accessories, more food, clothing, and tourism. Ride some Pokemon, find some things to do. Eat some malasada and shop at Aina’s Kitchen and Team Rocket’s Honey Donuts. If you want to escape the heat, there’s always the mall.


4. Pokemon!
Of course! Pokemon are everywhere. And maybe your Fated Encounter is upon you now. The Tapus are urging a Pokemon to come to you, be it in an Egg format to make its way into your hands, or perhaps a bird or a bug or whatever. Somewhere, a partner is waiting for you, you just have to meet them. And then, perhaps, you will be able to make friends! Just remember in this world? You don’t catch Pokemon -- Pokemon catch you.


5. Travel
There’s plenty to see on Melemele even in one day. There’s a lot of places to travel even by foot, and a lot of room, even in this place. There’s forests, hills, the town, the smaller suburbs, and beaches, an island off the coast, and the honey field even within walking range. Take time to explore and get to know the place, you may be staying for a while until the Ultra Guardians can send you home.


6. Battle
What is Pokemon life without Battling? Now that you have your Pokemon, you can battle with them. But Pokemon battles aren’t just about training but about forming a bond. There’s no such thing as levels in this world, the level system isn’t really a thing here. Sure there’s math and science to count the precise numbers of a Pokemon’s strength but we don’t dwell on this sort of thing. What’s important is forming these bonds with your Pokemon, and learning how to communicate with them, making precious ties with them. Eat, sleep and cherish them as your own family. Manalo, and Ohana. No one is left behind, or forgotten.


7. Freeform
Anything Goes! Come at you, this is a wide world, make up your own prompt!

Yuume shakes her head. "Close...it's the other reading. 'Pale' Dragon- I apprentice for a business known as the White Dragon, so I took the name as mine," she explains.

She does chuckle at Blue Eyes though. "Blue Eyes is...probably not very sturdy on their own, you're right about that though...actually, there are a number of summon methods that were created after your time..!" she laughs a bit more. "There was Fusion of course, and Ritual...but now there is also Synchro, XYZ, Pendulum..." She lists them, leaving the 'best' for last. "And most recently, 'Armor'."

Kaiba snorts and takes note of these other methods. "Mm. The game would have to evolve to be more and more extreme to keep players' attention for centuries, wouldn't it? I could've shaped the world with what I was building..."

She doesn't have to tell him what happened. He already suspects it, even if he doesn't have the 'how' correct. "What is it that the White Dragon does?"

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-07-19 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"...We have a really stable dimenisonal rail, if it helps your concerns..." He can't possibly have guessed that he goes missing. No way. Never. Something, strike her down now if he has,

But...

Beyond that she'll skip to the White Dragon. More specifically to trying to think about how to explain the White Dragon at all.

Shit. "Ahhh...." This is going to look So, So bad, isn't it. "It's...something of a clinic and an investigation service in one I suppose..." she hums, looking down as she considers. "...I've had to help with a few police cases..."

Nailed it perfect,
blue_ice: (and that's the tea)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-22 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
"A detective, then?"

Detectives...the good ones, anyway...were decent sorts to have around, provided you could trust who they worked for. And that was a big if, but Kaiba could at least respect the work that went into it.

"No wonder you're on the pulse of the town. But aren't there more useful places to learn?"
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-07-22 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
"A little? More of a specialist, if anything...believe it or not, it's technically a part time job; I use the pay to cover my tuition in University," she chuckles, looking to the side. Ahhh...

"...Perhaps there are. But...sometimes the most useful information can be in the last place you would look, neh?"
blue_ice: (staredown)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-22 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm. You're right. But I'm still working on a foundational knowledge base of this world."

He gives her another curious look. He hasn't started university yet (he'll do a compressed schedule when the company has a planned lull) but he knows he'll work at it.

"What are you studying, then?"
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-07-22 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I intend to major in Ancient History," Yuume replies proudly. There is a particular gleam in her eye that almost challenges him on it, in fact- a remnant of a far, far older time in her heart.
blue_ice: (headached)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-25 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
His next question, naturally, is then:

"How ancient?"

His tone conveys a little suspicion, like he thinks he's being set up somehow. It's a terrifying coincidence.
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-07-25 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Hahaaaaahh...." Alright, she'll give him a dry laugh for that- the suspicion is just barely notable enough for her to pick up on what he's thinking. "You're far from ancient, trust me...I'm talking about the sort of thing that would be a few thousand of years old, at earliest. Things such as the Egyptian Era of Shadows, or the Signer War of South America, or 'Atlantis'...that sort of thing," she rattles off, entirely unaware that at least Two of those things are part of Seto's own awareness.
blue_ice: (brooding)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-29 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I've heard far too much about the era of shadows for one lifetime."

Kaiba gives her a look. "As I'm sure you know, Duel Monsters itself takes some influence from that era. And I don't know if this was ever known to the public, but in the early days of the game, a certain group of cursed relics possessed duelists and wreaked havoc on my tournaments. I tend to prefer that the past stay buried."

He sighs and shakes his head.

shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-07-29 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
"That era and many others- Egypt wasn't the only country in the world," Yuume chuckled. "And those were far from the first and only relics related to such matters...the Signer Wars for example, occur every 5000 years- the most recent wasn't long after your first few tournaments." She explains it as calmly, and as 'happily' as possible. She pauses only shortly to take a drink from somewhere in her book pile- something fruity and topped with entirely too much whipped cream and fruits- but rather than putting it back moves to face Seto more clearly as she explains.

"In reality, there's evidence of such events from ten thousand, even more years back- the Signer War has happened at least three times in the past- not including the most recent- other relics such as those depicting powerful deity-class shadows have similar patterns. As a whole, as the Duel Monsters game spread, so too did the understanding of its source. Though," she continued, "Even the details of those tournaments were left unknown until..."

wait

"A...Ahhh...y...You had said you heard enough however, right," she coughs awkwardly, turning her attentions to her drink and glancing away. The desperation to do so may have been unwise- at three sips, she chokes and sputters on it before more shamefully going back to drinking it Anyway.

"Not necessarily."

Honestly, he hadn't know that, and as much as he hates to dwell on the past...it could sometimes be useful. He leans forward in his chair, eyes bright with interest. She's poised and confident in this subject, and he finds his attention fully drawn to her.

---until she coughs and his heart lurches, because that sputtering is so familiar. He's out of his chair before he realizes it.

"Moku---"

Oh. His eyes narrow in suspicion, but he still steps closer, eyes searching for something.

"I take it a history buff like you would know your family tree."

Yuume is relatively good at hiding her emotions.

Sometimes.

Sometimes, she is not, and there is no denying the momentary widening of the eyes (and subsequent choking fit Again) when she hears 'Moku'.

She's practically trying to hide behind the drink now, which would be more amusing if she wasn't so ridiculously tall for a woman from Japan.

"....naturally..."

Oh No
blue_ice: (looking down)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-29 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
As Kaiba stares, he notices all the little things about her. The flare of Mokuba's wild hair, so recently cut short. The way it falls in her eyes exactly the same way his does. Her mannerisms, height rivaling his...

She's hiding something. And he's not one to draw things out and play games, so he's just going to go for it.

"Then Mokuba is somewhere up there, isn't he?"
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-07-29 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
...............

Ssssshllllrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

...

She's run out of drink. She can't use this anymore. ".... ...I was...trying not to make this awkward, you know..." she manages, not looking away from the other.

"....Great-granduncle."

Surprise,
blue_ice: (silhouette)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-29 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Kaiba hums in quiet satisfaction.

"You look so much like him. And almost like myself. I wondered. But that name's a little on the nose, isn't it."

He snorts.

"Look, you're not going to break me, Soryuu. I have better things to do than fall into some existential crisis. And I'm in cross-dimensional limbo at the moment regardless, so I'm not going to go back and corrupt the future, if that's your concern."

For now, anyway. He still feels a thread of dread when he considers his fate. Rather than worry about that, he asks:

"Need some water?"
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-07-29 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"In my defense, I picked it at 14," she huffs, putting her drink aside. "And the building I work for really is 'White Dragon'..."

She half pouts, half stews as she turns away- but when she hears the question about water sighs. ".............water is probably a good idea..." Ahhhh.

As it is. "I would be more worried about you poking through in a time that isn't yours at this point," the woman mumbles. "Not to mention everything that would have changed between then and now that I haven't explained..."
blue_ice: (richer than god)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-29 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
That softens his expression a little. He nods and moves to grab a bottle of water, drawing his chair a little closer and pressing it into her hand.

"...a fair concern, but I'm not a danger right now. At least...not as much as I've ever been."

He almost smiles. Almost. "But let's try to survive this bizarre land first."
shadowslipping: (Default)

[personal profile] shadowslipping 2019-07-29 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
"And the things that could be dangerous to you?" she counters with a chuckle, taking the water. Ahh, well.

She leans back in her seat. "...Well...at the least, surviving here shouldn't be too hard."
