dehiatus + Team Rocket HQ raid info

[darkenedgales]

because pokémon professors ain't enough

Hello there, Route! Lycoris here with two announcements. First, the more mundane one is that I'm done with my exams, ergo back from hiatus! Which means I'll be (back-)tagging all the things soon, assuming my internet connection stops dying every three minutes.

Now, the more exciting part! You see, Crow got himself an equally moronic friend, so this upcoming weekend, he'll be having Ren Jinguji give him a short tour around... Team Rocket HQ in Goldenrod. Using his Almighty Influence™ which really just means seducing some female NPC grunt, Ren will be getting him a uniform to wear to use for sneaking in without raising suspicions. And since Crow isn't the type to visit someone's property and leave without a souvenir or two...

That's where we need your help, Rockets! If any of you is willing to offer something to be "borrowed", be it some personal possessions your character is keeping in their room at base or some Rocket-job related stuff (research notes, stolen Pokémon, whatever) or... anything, really, Crow isn't too picky right now -- it'd be much appreciated!

Of course, both of them will be staying quiet about this plan until it actually happens - they don't want to spoil the surprise, after all. While we'd like them to be able to run away this time, we're definitely not asking for them to get away with it completely, as they will be found out (and if you'd like to have your Rocket participate in that, come to talk to us, too! after all, the more, the merrier) and we're both open to plotting in regards to what future brings on that matter. one thing we know for sure without asking is that Lightning is going to murder them

If you've got any questions/comments/concerns/things to volunteer to be stolen/etc, just leave a comment here and we'll address those preferably when it's not the middle of the night for us. All of this is, of course, mod-approved!

Now for the obligatory Pokégif:

This makes me sad, but I've been struggling with playing Eridan since around Christmas time and I still haven't gotten out of that funk, so I think it is time to go and open the spot to someone that could do it justice.

Some of the cross-canon CR I have had here has been great, never going to apologize for all the stupid shit he has said :V

To my castmates YOU ARE ALL FABULOUS and the past eight months here have been a lot of fun <33

As for his pokemon they will automatically be left to Cheria, for her to keep or give away, whatever she feels is best. There are a few exceptions to this however-
Cher the wooper is meant to stay with her (obviously)
Reef and Orphaner will return to Karkat
Alexander is left to Aradia because she likes ghosts and was actually nice to him :C

Anyway, keep on truckin' Route. I hope I can come back soon!

I'm sad to say that it seems like my life is not allowing me to do much of anything in regards to keeping up with activity.

As some may know, I got a job at the beginning of January. Great news for me, of course! That first week, I was working noon - 5pm, and those were great hours for me. I could do some tags in the morning, come back to some at night, and I wasn't too exhausted. Second and third weeks, I got bumped to 3pm - close, which would mean I'd get out anywhere around 9:30 - 10:30 at night. I thought I could do it, but it started getting to me, and to the point that when I got home, I was too exhausted to do much of anything. I didn't have any energy to check my email or plurk, and as some may have noticed, the only way to get a hold of me is through AIM.

Last week, I started working 4pm - midnight, and then I got sick in the middle of it, so I had five days off in a row, blah blah blah, still lacking energy to do anything. And now they've changed my shift again, to 3pm - 10pm.

I tried looking through what I had of the first two weeks of January, and I barely have enough for half of Kairi's, and none for Yuusei (I had plans to do something with him, but work said 'lolno'). And with how often I've gone on hiatus in the past, I figure it's just outright unfair of me to keep doing this to you guys. Maybe if my schedule gets to be something a bit more manageable, I'll come back, but right now, it's just not working.

As for Pokemon... Crow can do what he wants with Yuusei's (though I imagine Winry would like Momentum). Kairi's Pokemon... ohboy. I'd like for someone to keep Pluto at least, someone who'll use him, and the others can go wherever.

Anyway, I'll miss you guys, and I'm still reachable on AIM @ Maesterlicious if you ever want to chat. I'm incredibly sorry for all of this, to all of my (small) CR and potential CR. I hope I'm able to come back soon and give you much better interaction. ><

This has been a while coming, I'd actually meant to post this sooner but things kept distracting me. For a while now it's just been hard to feel like I've got a firm hold on Gamzee's voice, he's just been slipping away from me and it seems the harder I try to hold on the harder it becomes so it's time for me to let him go. I'm really sorry to everyone that I couldn't do a better job with him like I should have, and I thank all of you for playing with me when you did. <3

As for his pokemon, Lalder the Kirlia will be leaving with him since the little guy is far too attached to Gamzee to get a new trainer. As for the others, Gamzee pretty much knows where he wants them to go.

♦Solsis the Reuniclus will go to Other Father because she likes babysitting
♦Skullbro the Dusclops & Chica the Meganium will go to Karkat and Vanitas, Skullbro's holding a reaper cloth so he'll finally evolve in the process.
♦Purrsis the Liepard will go to Mom.
♦Miracle the Sawsbuck will go to Bro. He wanted Miracle and Purrsis to stay somewhat together since the cat's pretty much acting mother for the buck so it seemed like the best choice.
♦Foxbro the Zorua goes to Aradia.
♦Stardust the shiny Vulpix & Starlight the Luxio both go to Jane.

Once again, I'm really sorry for failing you guys when you deserve a lot better. I might come back to Route sometime with a different character, but for now I'll see you guys around.

Happy Valentine's Day, hope you like PAIN

Looking forward to chocolates and a romantic day before the Breeder's con? TOO BAD.

Bowser's just returned from an adventure in Kanto, and after subjecting the stolen Pokémon he grabbed in December to about two months of Psychic therapy, it's time to let loose the dogs of hell.

On Valentine's Day, he's going to unleash the following Pokémon: A Swampert, Two Ninetales, and a Venomoth, all level 100. All completely vicious and more than willing to attack humans. They will be joined by a level 85 Salamence standing 12' tall, and a level 80 Torterra who will be very thrilled to join in the fun.

This is an opt-in player plot that is mod-approved, but know that the beasts will be attacking the Department Store in their rampage. It won't be destroyed, but there will be some minor property damage and civilian injuries.

So, anyone wanna jump in and try to stop them? I'm up for just about anything, really.
