bottlecaplogs | Impromptu Oran Sleepover

Who: Oran newbies
What: Having fun with communal dens
When: Sometime after Mightyena gathered them up
Where: The Spire, low tier dens
Warnings: Will add if anything comes up, but not anticipating anything

[As everyone knows by now, the Oran Berries depend heavily on communal living, sharing a bed is simply to be expected. For some, this experience was temporary. Mightyena was kind enough to lend the mysterious misplaced Pokémon a place to rest, but now some of them have moved on.

For others, this is now a part of life, and it's time to get used to it. The Oran Berries value treating everyone like friends and family, after all, so you're expected to do the same! Why not have some fun with it?

Whether you've noticed your fellow newcomers are all gathering in one den, or you suddenly find yourself dragged into the the party against your will, everyone is invited! Everyone's going through the same thing, belong to the same guild, you gotta stick together.....right?]

[[ooc: Feel free to use this as a mingle log! We have nine Oran Berries (I think???) and although the dens are said to hold up to eight, I think some members are small enough that we should be able to include everyone!]]

[It's not like Conrad's been having an easy time getting to sleep. Lately it's been, well, a nightmare. So when he's awoken because he feels like he's being taken from his bed he's going to be more than a little irritated. And also confused, because what the heck?]

Wh-What!? Am I sleep walking??

[Wait, no, he's being carried. His little ridiculous pink feet are up in the air and he begins to kick at nothing in his attempt to find the ground again. Seriously, what is happening right now??]

[The fun thing about Jigglypuffs is that they are surprisingly squishy. A.B.A might be a bit too...jovial as she squeezes him in her beak, like a dog with a squeaky toy. Except instead of squeaks, all she gets is his shouting.

That seems to be a running theme here.]

Your presence is requested elsewhere, relocation was necessary.

[Ignore any and all muffled giggles that are soon to follow as she continues trotting on her merry way. Hehe, so squishy...]

[Yes, he is aware of how soft and squashy he is. He makes some grunts and utters random curses as he's carried along, but he's really unable to do anything to help his situation.]

My presence-? What!? Where are we going??

[He really doesn't appreciate that she seems to be amused by all this. The giggling is just a bit much.]

To your correct sleeping arrangement, you appear to be quite lost. Luckily, it's an easy thing to fix, no need to thank me.

[The "where" becomes quite clear when she quickly darts into another den. It may be difficult to tell at first glance, especially if he hasn't had a chance to meet every other offworld Pokémon, but it would appear the room is so far made up of other victims of whatever the heck is going on.

Conrad will soon find his squishy self unceremoniously plopped onto one of the beds, his captor looming over him so he can now get a good look of who's responsible for his kidnapping. Likewise, she can get a better look at him, her head tilting as she studies his perfectly round, perfectly pink form.

With the way he was sleeping earlier, she didn't notice before...]

Your eyes...

[They're so...large. But more importantly-]

Such a lovely shade of blue... Like two, round slivers sliced straight from the sea...

I have no idea what you're talking about!

[Seriously, what the hell, lady? Conrad continues to flail uselessly until he is released and he rolls a couple times. Once he centers himself he looks around, trying to figure out why on earth he's been taken from his bed to be brought to another one.

He's about to go into a tirade, but when he focuses on the Pokémon responsible for snatching him up he looks more than a little intimidated. What is he supposed to do now? Puff up to make himself look bigger?? But then he blinks several times as she mentions... his eyes.]

Wha-What?

[What can he say to that? His irritation fades to confusion. Why is she complimenting him??]

Uh. Okay? Thanks? Why am I here? Can I go back to my bed now!?

[What a curious Pokémon. Even with all his anger and confusion, he somehow manages to look like an adorable stuffed animal. She can't help but wonder what would even lead someone to be transformed into something like this... If her theory is true, then there has to be a reason.]

That is why you're here. No need to fret, this is your bed now.

[Was that not obvious? Hm...maybe she should've made a sign...]

I've concluded that the best course of action was to make sure that we, as newcomers to this world, stay together. Isn't that wonderful? You must be so relieved...

[Conrad has no idea why he ended up like this. He'd much rather be a cool griffin thing! He knows he must look ridiculous, being all ticked off and yet he's still soft and puffy and cute. But at least he can scowl pretty well with those big, shimmery eyes.]

Ugh. No I'm not relieved! And if you wanted me to switch beds, you could've just asked!

[There's a pause then as he angrily crosses his arms.]

I'm still not sure what you're on about... Why does everyone need to sleep in the same room? That seems both unnecessary and annoying.

[What if someone snores? He doesn't want to deal with that!]

[...wait, he...isn't happy?

But...her plan was foolproof, everyone was going to gather and sleep better because they weren't alone! Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy. He just...needs to have it explained better, yeah...that's it!

She WILL have the squishy Pokémon stay here.]

N-No, we aren't switching, we're combining. I saw you, I saw the way you tossed and turned... You desire companionship.

Didn't you feel...alone?

[To say he's unhappy is a bit of an understatement. He's going to continue looking profoundly grumpy...]

Combining...? Wait. How can I feel lonely if I'm asleep??

[Seriously, this is making zero sense to him. But he has had trouble sleeping, he can't deny that. He just kind of rolls around in his bed for awhile until he gets exhausted... He fails to see how having a slumber party is going to help with anything, though.]
