Oran Berry Sleepover 2.0

[quirkynote]

Who: Oran Berries and honestly anyone else who wants to sneak in. No rules, just right.
What: It's time to force everyone into the same room again for the traditional human bonding ritual.
Where: The Spire
When: Early June
Warnings: Possible coma mentions, will add more if things come up.



"It might be time for another sleepover."

[It's hard for an Oran Berry member to say no to Mom Mightyena, so you can bet A.B.A has taken this suggestion to heart. At least this time around, most people are aware of her intentions, and she was smart enough to mention her plans ahead of time.

She is, however, still recovering. Despite her dislike for admitting weakness, she's reached out to her fellow guildmates in hopes to find help in herding everyone together for her. Possibly even you! Let's cure loneliness together and make sure no one sleeps by themselves tonight!]

[ooc: This is a mingle style log! Feel free to make a top level and tag around! Although this is happening in The Spire, I honestly don't care if Pokémon from other guilds have heard the news and wanna sneak in on this. Everyone deserves to experience the joy that is being crammed into the same room as a bunch of other people.]

"Well, yeah." she said easily, organizing her own nest a little more. "Hisui was rough, so it's not the first time an Ursaluna attacked me."

Said as if she were talking about the weather or picking out a drink on a menu.

"I'm over here because it seems like everyone with the cuddlepuddles are taking over the rest of the room." she gestures as she points at the people with the combined sleeping areas.

"So I get the wall." Harder to sneak up on her too.

"How you doing? That guy really had it out for us."

[friendlyflower]

"Yeah, that's a little too much touchy-feely crap for me," he agrees, side-eyeing the others in a way that's not jealous at all. "Though that's not the only reason you're over here, is it? Good tactical advantage. Nobody can sneak up behind you, and you have all your items within reach." He says this with a hint of approval.

It doesn't escape his notice that she seems used to facing life-or-death situations. How refreshingly relatable.

"Me? Pfft, I'm fiiine. It takes a lot more than that to keep me down... hee hee." He can't exactly shrug, but makes as much of an approximate gesture as he can with his leaves. Out of fear that she might praise him for trying to save Ren from the Blood Moon attack, he pivots. "You did say you fought that thing before. You must have been a 'trainer' like Ingo was! What's your story, pal?"

[arceusstansme]

"I come from the same place as Ingo, actually." she said, settling in her nest.

"I was chosen by Arceus to go to Hisui and make it better." she said simply, like hey, I am getting a boba tea. "Although it threw me from the sky, but you know what, makes me cool and mysterious."

She wasn't shy about telling her own story.

"They as soon as I landed, I got told to get to work or go die." Well, Laventon didn't say that, but Laventon is nice.

"So, I did just that, because wouldn't that be a stupid ending? Hey, the Skyfaller chose death. I go in, prove I am not scared of a Bidoof and everyone thinks I am amazing. Which I am, but you know."

[friendlyflower]

You know what, he's not even surprised anymore when someone he talks to turns out to be a weirdo. He'd be far more surprised if any of these people were normal.

"Arceus? What, like a god or something?" he asks. "It chose you and then left you to go do manual labor? What kind of stupid god does that?"

[arceusstansme]

"Yeah, it made everything." she said, "Because of that taurosshit if I ever catch it, I am shoving a ground plate down its throat and telling it to work in the field."

You make her save Hisui, catch every Pokemon and then just leave her ass planted there? And that's not even covering why the hell Ingo is there. Was Ingo sent as a joke?

No, send them home, asshole.

"Also, it didn't even keep games on my phone and to use an app I have to talk to a Munchlax and give it 5 berries." Fucking Pay to Win crap.

[friendlyflower]

He has no fucking clue how to respond to this. He sits there in bewilderment for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Golly, I thought I did a bad job of being god," he manages between laughing fits. "I managed it for about 10 minutes before getting nearly beaten to death by a bunch of kids." Or one kid and a bunch of dead kids' souls, anyway. The other time he became god, he wound up sobbing, which is even more embarrassing. "So hey, if it happened to me, I'm sure you can teach this 'Arceus' freak a lesson, too!"

[arceusstansme]

You know, most people would seemed worried if someone told them they became a God and nearly got beaten to death by a bunch of kids.

But Akari was just built different.

"Like how many did it take? Kid wise to beat you up. Maybe you were just a weenie god. Did you spend a bunch of time monologizing or something?"

Volo did, but you know what, if he was willing to be crazy with her, Hisui might be different right now. But instead, no, he had to be bitter because she was Arceus' favorite. Maybe if he did have an ugly cosplay and stupid shoes the story would be different.

[friendlyflower]

"Heh. Just seven," he admits. "One of 'em especially was real stubborn, though."

He tosses a little candy into the air and catches it in his mouth, seeming actually relaxed for the first time since he got here. "And I'll have you know I was a cool god! The old kind, beyond human comprehension!" At least the first time. "Buuut, I needed the souls to cooperate and... hey, apotheosis ain't easy! Oh well. Fun while it lasted."

[arceusstansme]

"Seven?" She responded, poking him with her nubby little arm.

"How long did it last? Tell me at least long enough to like, leave your mark in the world. Someone comes and is like 'Hey, there is where the week-long god did a thing.'"

She looks out at the crowd, and then pushes one of her snacks over to Flowey. You wanna be catty with her?

[friendlyflower]

"Long enough to break the barrier keeping all the monsters trapped underground!" He doesn't elaborate on that, much like Akari doesn't on some of her weird lore. Truthfully, he's just tired of explaining it. "Aah, couldn't keep it going much after that, but whatever. All my other ideas were stupid in hindsight."

At least, very few other megalomaniacs who try to become god can admit that.

Flowey readily accepts the snack. He was born ready to be catty. "Telling that to A.B.A made her go nuts and drag me here because I'm a 'key'. Lame! Can I at least be a key someone uses to draw graffiti on a car?"

[arceusstansme]

Luckily for Flowey, when he says monsters, Akari's mind instantly go to the Pocket variety of them.

"Good to know you realized you had stupid ideas. A lot of people who want to take over the world has stupid ideas. Like, think better guys."

She said leaning back a little.

"You can be whatever you want to be, I believe in you." she said, as she looked at him. "Actually, if we angle you right, we could probably use you to scratch something into a wall."

That something would probably be a dick.

[friendlyflower]

His eyes visibly light up at Akari's suggestion of using him for vandalism. "You think so? Hold on, grab me! Come on! The top of my shell has points!"

He tries hopping into her stubby arms. Fortunately, he's pretty small and lightweight for a Sunkern... though whether or not Akari can lift him and angle him remains to be seen.

[arceusstansme]

[It probably looks weird, considering they both are on the smaller side as Akari manages to angle Flowey a little and starts to scratch on the wall behind her nest.]

We're lucky everyone is busy being mushy right now.

[She said as she finishes up her art after a few minutes as she puts the other down to see the artwork.]

I call it 'Dugtrio, reversed.'

[But it is obvious to anyone with eyes that its a badly scratched in the wall dick-n-balls]

[friendlyflower]

YES!! [He cackles evilly.] This is awesome!! Put a swear word next!

cw: PLA spoilers

[arceusstansme]

[Akari nods as she realizes. Flowey just said he had become a god (which really, everyone has known someone like that, you know.), but he is also getting so excited about the idea of writing a 'swear word' on the wall.]

[He should've said 'fuck'. So instead, she scratches in ASSBUTT and turned him around to see it.]

[friendlyflower]

YES!!!!!! [He can't stop himself from shouting, probably drawing attention from others. He bursts into evil laughter-- the "I wanted to be god" thing is shining through again. Doing vandalism is awesome!!!]

Heh... [He catches his breath.] is that the best you can do? Come on, I know you can do better! [Notably, he has not said 'fuck'.]

[arceusstansme]

[Vandalism is 100 percent the reason why you should become God.]

Oh, you're challenging me to a swear contest?

[She says easily, her theory about Flowey by his reaction over 'assbutt' becoming more and more solid.]

Can't do too many in one place, they have to jumpscare people.

[She said easily.]

But whats your entry into the contest for next one on the wall?

[friendlyflower]

[If Akari is perceptive, she might notice Flowey tense up a little.] Heh... asking me? Did you run out of ideas already, Miss "I'm going to fight Arceus"? How about you write what you'll say when you meet him face-to-face?

[He's dodging the question!!!]

[arceusstansme]

[Time for her to rag on him.]

Still using the baby first cussword books? Don't worry, we can go through the alphabet together.

A is for Ass.
B is for -?

[friendlyflower]

[He turns, shadows falling across his face.]

... I get it now. You're testing me. Fine. How about this one?

...

Butthole.

Are you happy now?

[arceusstansme]

[He was an infant! Like Emporio! Oh. My. Sinnoh.]

[Because of this, she knew how to react- she threw back her head and laughed.]

Thats, like, an awesome one. Let's put it on the wall.

[friendlyflower]

Yeah, whatever. [He allows Akari to pick him up again for vandalism purposes.] I bet you don't have any better swear words.

[arceusstansme]

I have swear words you have to find in ancient caves they are so rare. Also engraved in walls.

[Yup, she was engraving it.]

Passed down from generations.

[friendlyflower]

Now you're just messing with me. [He humphs loudly, wishing he had arms to cross.] There's no way that's true. [... Then again, she did say she was sent back in time.] ... Right?

[arceusstansme]

Very true.

[She lied.]

Think about it, swears are not new. Back in prehistoric days, when Kabutops ran wild, humans would need a proper way to express the shock when they are trying to poop and BAM wild Kabutops come a-swinging.
