Video Post - Evening of the 20th

[a_sin_for_him]

[Lust looks clearly irritated, despite attempting a Publicity Smile. Not by the announcement she has to make, today has not been the best of days. For anyone, it seems like.]

I realize we're in the midst of some strange minor crisis again, but I have some news regarding the little radio show we put together. Despite just starting, we've lost our sound editor and I'm afraid until we find a new one, there will be no more shows.

I expect this little broadcasting break will be temporary and brief.

[Her smile fades finally.]

And has anyone figured out what's going on with this swarm? One of them ruined my afternoon.

[ Naminé's opting for text, because honestly... she's embarrassed by how she looks right now. ]

... I'm not certain why it's happening... but it's happening in so many areas.

Swarms tend to. They're usually not this violent, however.

text

[shatterings]

No... when I caught my Mareep in a swarm, they weren't nearly so violent.

[ ... Almost bloodthirsty. ]

text

[a_sin_for_him]

I usually stay out of swarms, but even from a distance, they've never seemed violent. Confused, more than anything.

text

[shatterings]

But these... they've been acting almost as if they have a... purpose.

Were you attacked by one, Lust?

[Voice]

[ratherbelocky]

Aw, that's a shame. I got a kick out of that first two-parter.

[Voice]

[a_sin_for_him]

I'm glad you enjoyed. We have another all set for recording and editing, but...

[Voice]

[ratherbelocky]

...How professional a final product are you looking for, here?

[Voice]

[a_sin_for_him]

We're none of us professionals, I just need someone who can edit the different dialogue recordings together and add background sound effects.

[Voice]

[ratherbelocky]

I can proooobably maybe do that? It's not exactly my area of expertise, but the tech here hasn't been too hard to wrap my head around. I might need some time to play around till I get the hang of it, but in theory I could keep you afloat until someone better comes along.

[foolishwren]

Man, you too?

I was trying to get the heck out of Mahogany and I kind of.

Uh.

Had an encounter.

[Video]

[a_sin_for_him]

[Lust nods.]

Scar and I were out for a walk and this...it looked like a Diglett but it wasn't. It's face was wrong, somehow. It came at us both.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Really?

A DIGLETT?

What the hell.

_{[At least hers'd had... well, LEGS.]}

Are you guys okay?

[Video]

[a_sin_for_him]

It looked like a Digglet. But not entirely, there was something wrong with it.

We're fine, it didn't do much damage to either of us. Our Pokemon chased it off, it went into the ground...

[Video]

[foolishwren]

That's... good, I guess.

I kind of had to RUN from the one I got jumped by...

[ladywithnovoice]

Are you alright?

text

[a_sin_for_him]

Physically, I'm fine, thank you. I was bitten by some demonic Digglet creature, but it didn't do much damage. Just irritated at a nice afternoon ruined.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

That's good to hear. But... demonic Digglet?

text

[a_sin_for_him]

The face was wrong. And it might have had small lumps of some sort on its body. It was difficult to tell, it moved much faster than I'd expect a Digglet to. And then it was gone.

text

[ladywithnovoice]

Who on earth would make a demonic Ditto?

Sorry to hear about your show. Here's to hoping you manage to get someone to help you out soon, eh?

As for your question, I don't have a clue. Seems like a bunch of strange Pokemon have just suddenly shown up.

video;

[a_sin_for_him]

It looks like we should be able to.

Strange and violent. I don't care about the strangeness, it's the violence. Scar and I were outright attacked by some sort of crazed Diglett.

video;

[ossifragant]

The violence is pretty damn hard to understand. Most Pokemon aren't like that.

This is a damn strange swarm.

video;

[a_sin_for_him]

No. Even when frightened or cornered, they rarely react so offensively aggressive.

I don't suppose there's some mythical, evil, psychic Pokemon that could be controlling them from a mountaintop somewhere?

[ossifragant]

[He laughs, but more because the situation sounds so plausible to him; it's hard to believe he's gotten so used to this place.]

Maybe a few expeditions need to be sent out.
