EVENT POST - Nightmares and Sunflowers

[united_mods]

On the night of the 14th, nothing seems amiss to you- nothing on the wind, nothing in the seas... It's a simple, albeit likely blistering evening in the middle of Unova's summer...

At least until midnight.

Suddenly a massive wave of energy seems to pass over you- your dreams of perfectly innocent intent begin to twist and darken to something else, and at the worst moment find yourself awake and in a cold sweat. Surely it was just a dream though right?

Apparently, you're wrong.

( OOC Event Info )

 

Things seemed to settle however, right?

 

Perhaps not. Not all of Unova was as 'unprepared' for what came to be, and in fact, a choice group of the inhabitants seem to be taking full advantage of the instability; until the 25th, the fruits of their labor can be seen.

 

Remember when Team Plasma was hunting for Munna? They have them now. And those munna are very hurt, and potentially angry munna. These munna won't be taking in the good dreams of the people in the land- oh no, not at all!

 

From today until the 25th, while cheery, sunny pokemon run around, Munna will be using their power to materialize whatever happens to be in the darkest recesses of the dreams they look into- perhaps there's an inner guilt about some incident in your past. Perhaps you're simply afraid of some/thing/ rather than someone, and now the entire forest is on 'fire' despite nothing actually burning and water having no effect.

 

See that's the thing- these materializations are only as strong as the munna projecting them. So they're not as strong as you think!

 

But can you stand up to your fears to call them out on that?

 

It's time for you to find out.

 

It's time for the Nightmares to rise.

 

note: remember! This month the swarm happens at the same time as the event; so from now until the 25th, you'll be able to find eevee, deerling, happiny, and cleffa at varying levels, as well as sunkern/sunflora and cherrim/cherubi.

Third Labyrinth: Nux Walpurgis at Celestial Tower

[trainerhomu]

The screen fizzed to life as it tried to focus on what was going on in the background.

A city no one would see in Unova, where skyscrapers and other such buildings were broken and sunken at the bases in a gigantic pool of water caused by a hurricane that wasn't predicted.

In the midst of it all stood Celestial Tower to the North of Mistralton, so whoever was filming this despite the static and constant flickering must be flying. Said filmer headed toward the top of the tower where Homura, standing with an Absol and Espeon in front of her, visibly shook as she gaped at what was possibly the cause of this devastation.

( The play stops on Walpurgisnacht )

It was nearly the size of one of those massive mountains you've always heard about. A face that was always laughing, and giant cogs that turned endlessly.

There was nothing you could call this being but a Witch or a Monster.

"D-don't c-come here," Homura announced, knowing the XTransceiver was close-by. She was visibly shaking. "S-stay away, from Route 7. E-evacuate Mistralton, j-just don't come here!" Homura screamed, pulling out a gun that she bought from Driftveil at the monstrosity.

The Witch's laugh echoed throughout the area. Amused by Homura's defiance.

"I-I'll stop it. T-this time I really will. So Madoka... please... don't worry..." Homura stuttered, eyes filled with insanity.

Let the Nightmare Begin.

3rd Hero ~ [Video]

[herofinish]

{The feed start off with Judai grinning at the camera, holding up the Trio Badge that he just earned. Looks like he's outside the Pokemon Center...}

Hey everyone, look what I won! Guess I'm one step closer to home! {He laughs.}

It was a fun battle, though. I hope they're all that good!

Juudaiii.... Juudaiiiii...

{Judai's grin fades, and he looks up, past the camera, and his eyes widen. He drops the Xtranceiver and the badge, so all you can see is his feet as he backs away slowly. You can see a shadow overtake the view, and Judai trips backwards, and falls on his bottom, unable to look away.}

Judai... I missed you... Why did you send me away?

{Judai shakes his head, frozen with fear (though he's not sure why he's afraid) as the dragon-esqe figure stoops and lightly touches his face.}

You shouldn't have sent me away, Judai... But now I can show you my love!

{Then, she suddenly backhands Judai across the face, and he goes flying, landing on top of the Xtranceiver and ending the feed.}
 

[For anyone who doesn't know, Judai's nightmare is Yubel, a card from his childhood. He doesn't remember her, but somewhere in the back of his mind he's still pretty afraid of her. He'll start fighting back at some point, but he might need some help first...]
