Hoopa's Multiverse Madness [Roleplay Thread] - [Oct 25-30]

[AbraPunk]

Jess hopped closer with one foot, the other occupied by the phone, and spoke up. "You guys mind being recorded? I wanna make a vid on this when I get back, and some footage would be great. People aren't gonna believe this unless I give them some evidence, you know."

Antares stared at the divebombing bird. "Recorded?" He smirked. "Well now, that's something I certainly won't object to. Record to your heart's content, my avian friend!"

 

[Fusion]

Lil Goku shrugged at the Pidgeot's request, uncaring.

Vegeta popped out of the ground, beaming, exhuding a smug aura too big for someone of her stature. "I don't care at all, honestly. That just means more people are gonna see me for the badass that I am, haha!"

 

[Navar]

"Uh, sure. I don't mind being recorded," Lance shrugged. "Just... get my good side, I guess?"

 

[canisaries]

"P-please don't r-record me," he asked, looking towards the Pidgeot.

"Y-Yeah. P-Please no r-recording. Please. It makes me... just uncomfortable. Really." Said Lilly.

"Sheesh, alright," muttered Jess. "How about some pics, though? Anything's good."

 

[IFBench]

"Uh..."

As long as they weren't recording anything he was saying...

"...s-sure."

 

[Virgil134]

Kichiro silently observed the group from a branch of a nearby tree, the Ledian tilting his head as Jess dove down and fiddled around with some strange device. Being recorded? As in the Pidgeot would write down everything they said or something?

Pah, who cared what that bird was talking about. It's not like there was a point in getting to know any of these Pokémon anyway when they'd stop liking him the moment it came up he plundered towns and robbed others for a living. Not to mention he probably had to go up against them soon anyway. They were all here to a play some sort of game, so he just had to focus on winning and going home with whatever prize there was.

... Unless they really were gonna play something like Truth or Dare. But surely that strange Pokémon didn't bring everyone here just to waste their time with some children's game... right?

 

[MintyMimix]

He glanced over to the Sneasel. "No need for such formality." A small snicker. "In my experience, only those who have ill will present themselves like that. But surely you're not a villain?"

"Certainly not," Violet replied, placing a claw on her hip as she did so, "Personally, I find that form of introduction to be platitudinous, but alas, it is customary." Violet rolled her eyes as she said this, revealing more of her true self.

"...Though evidently, some of us don't," she snarked while side-eyeing Steplively. A minister, huh? Seems like even in this time, she still couldn't get away from the nobility.

Jess hopped closer with one foot, the other occupied by the phone, and spoke up. "You guys mind being recorded? I wanna make a vid on this when I get back, and some footage would be great. People aren't gonna believe this unless I give them some evidence, you know."

Violet's musings were cut short as the Pidgeot flew by and landed, bristling her fur and making her cover her eyes as dirt flung up towards her face. When she put her arm down, her brows furrowed in bewilderment at the Pidgeot's speech. She saw what could only be described as a slate of sorts being held by his talon as the stream of foreign words like "footage" and "vid" coming out of his mouth only further compounded her confusion. What did he even mean by "recorded"? She didn't see a piece of paper or book anywhere...

She saw the Espeon trotting over as well. Was that the scribe? He didn't seem to have any writing implements him. Violet crossed her arms and kept looking at the pair, uncertain as to what to make of all of this.

 

[SilverPhoenix]

"Just... no more than a few." Lilly reluctantly said.

"Sheesh, alright," muttered Jess. "How about some pics, though? Anything's good."

 

[Navar]

Lance crossed his arms, sitting down to think. At least nobody there seemed aggressive, and he could take the time to relax a little, considering how hectic things were back home. "Pictures are fine. I don't mind."

Blitz nodded and sat as well, yawning. "Just uh, take a good one!"

 

[AbraPunk]

"Certainly not," Violet replied, placing a claw on her hip as she did so, "Between you and I, I find the gesture to be platitudinous, but alas, it is customary." Violet rolled her eyes as she said this, revealing more of her true self.

"Ah! Customs are unfortunate, yes..."

He smiled sheepishly. "I apologize for my misconception of you, now that it's clear you harbor no ill intentions."

 

[Fusion]

"Geez, if any of us tried to sound any more stuck up, we'd put Sudoowoodo out of business," Vegeta growled. "It's like I'm wearing a suit with the collar too tight around my neck."

Lil Goku sat up, looking groggily at Vegeta. "Did you get all of that poison out of your system? That might be an allergic reaction."

"What? Nah, I'm fine," Vegeta scoffed. "Just still can't stand the voices of pompous blowhards."

"Maybe you would if they were complimenting you instead," Goku said, rolling her eyes.

"Well yeah!"

 

[Flyg0n]

Quite suddenly, a large golden ring appeared in the sky above the clearing. A Rayquaza burst out from the portal and roared loudly, before flying into another portal and vanishing as quickly as it appeared.

Less than a second later, a snickering Hoopa popped out from another ring that appeared just above the ground, flashing a bright grin. "Hoopa ready to play game with everyone!" they announced loudly.

They zipped about the field, from player to player, before returning roughly to the center of the group. Everyone was here, right? They were pretty sure this was everyone. Oh well! They were tired of waiting anyway.

"Hoopa say we should all play..."They paused and and fiddled with a ring, deep in thought. "-Truth or Dare!"

 

[Navar]

"Oh, there they are," Lance said, looking up. The Manectric behind him quietly shivered at the sight of a Rayquaza, but quickly tried to straighten himself to get ready for the game.

 

[SilverPhoenix]

Lilly freaks out at the sudden surprise of Raquaza and hoopa appearing.
"AH! Wa- oh. Oh dear, I.. Oh,,,"
Once again, she goes back to sulking in the center.

 

[IFBench]

Gen yelped as the Rayquaza appeared, clutching tightly onto his reunion cape. He breathed a small sigh of relief as it disappeared, and Hoopa appeared.

"O-ok..." he said, as his grip loosened.

 

[Virgil134]

Kichiro abruptly flitted up as Hoopa announced the game they were gonna play, shooting the strange Pokémon a baffled, incredulous look.

"Wait, what?"

 

[Sinderella]

"Je suis Kalosienne," Lillie volunteered. "Je ne parlé pas Galarian."

However, once they started, their 'Galarish' sounded entirely like Alolan to her. It had been what she'd been hearing from the other species, too. "Vous ne parlez pas Alolen? What language does this sound like to you?"

"Oh, it seems I spoke too soon," Clovis said, raising his brows in surprise at the sound of the familiar words that came out of Lillie. He nodded in her direction. "Mes excuses. Je peux te parler comme ça à la place."

Clovis perked up when he heard the girl mention something about Alola, and shot a glance at Odette. "Aren't you moving to Alola soon?" he asked her.

She nodded. "Mm, yeah," she said quietly, dragging her foot on the ground, feeling her sneakered toe rake over the grass. "Je pensais que le galarien y était largement parlé et que la langue alolane était quelque chose de différent," she added. "What you just said sounds like Galarian to me, but I understood it, if it helps."

Kaz tilted her head. Even though she was lying down, she was at eye-level with the small human and said human was staring at her. "Was it something I said? I didn't mean to offend you, a lot of things are pretty small to me, now that I think about it." This was getting awkward, she needed a new topic. "Where'd you two come from? And what does 'Kalosian' mean?"

Odette turned back toward the thing and raised a hand. "No, no, it's alright, I just--"

"She hears about it a lot," Clovis chimed in. Odette craned her neck to look up at him, and he returned her stare with a brilliant smile. "It's almost like it's cute and others notice."

He frowned as soon as he spoke. He squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head away, mouthing the word "Fuck" in the process.

"What?" Odette said.

"What?" he replied, turning back and flashing that same smile.

He heard voices up ahead—right! The puffy ghost had said there would be others here. He picked up the pace, tail held high. Friends! Games! This was going to be fun!

Odette didn't have time to prod him before another portal tore open, and out stepped an Espeon. She nearly jumped out of her skin, because for a second, it looked like Enora. Gods, she'd barely been gone 20 minutes and was already missing that pack of goons like crazy...

Clovis followed her gaze and inwardly gasped at the sight of the Espeon. He vaguely wondered if it'd be impolite to ask if it wanted to be pet. The Pokemon that tended to show up to these games seemed to have different, uh, ideals than the ones in his world.

"Hi, my name is Hana," she addressed the small woman directly. "If I'm not mistaken you've spent some time in Circhester."

Odette was snapped out of her thoughts when she was approached by another woman. It made her feel slightly better to see that yet another human had shown up--did that make four now? She'd have to do another count.

She blinked a few times at the question, then shook her head. "I mean, I've certainly been to Circhester, but it's been a while," she explained.

Looking closer at this girl, she didn't look Galarian at all. She looked more...Johtoan? Or Kantonian? Of course, people move around, that much was certain. She was about to be moving to Alola, so she had no room to scrutinize.

She cleared her throat. "Sorry, I was clearly raised in a cave," she said in low voice. "I'm Odette." She nudged Clovis, who was gazing around at the other Pokemon. "This is my escort, Clovis."

Clovis scoffed as he looked at her. "That makes me sound like a prostitute."

"Fine, my inter-dimensional chauffer," she corrected.

Clovis snickered then nodded as he reached into his pocket and withdrew a lighter; the one he'd gotten from that other silver-haired guy in the last game he played. He never got a chance to give it back before...well, yeah. He had to wonder if all those people really died...

Nonetheless, he flicked the flame on a couple times. "That definitely sounds cooler, thank you."

 

[Fusion]

"Uhg! Why does everyone talk so much!" Vegeta groaned loudly. "At least the fun looking one keeps things short and sweet!" she said, gesturing towards Hoopa.

"I'm surprised you waited so long before exploding," Goku said, genuinely proud.

Vegeta huffed, crossing her arms. Then fell on her face. "I deserve an award. A medal of honor. A Statue in my modest and humble image."

"Layin' it on a little thick, Vegeta," Goku yawned.

 

[Sinderella]

Quite suddenly, a large golden ring appeared in the sky above the clearing. A Rayquaza burst out from the portal and roared loudly, before flying into another portal and vanishing as quickly as it appeared.

Less than a second later, a snickering Hoopa popped out from another ring that appeared just above the ground, flashing a bright grin. "Hoopa ready to play game with everyone!" they announced loudly.

They zipped about the field, from player to player, before returning roughly to the center of the group. Everyone was here, right? They were pretty sure this was everyone. Oh well! They were tired of waiting anyway.

"Hoopa say we should all play..."They paused and and fiddled with a ring, deep in thought. "-Truth or Dare!"

Startled, Odette and Clovis looked up toward the sky.

"Was that a...fucking Rayquaza?" she asked.

"I've seen weirder on one of these excursions," he replied.

No sooner had they exchanged, the Hoopa that had invited them arrived from yet another portal, saying something about a game. Clovis had read in his note that the game wasn't meant to be harmful, but he instinctively grabbed Odette by the wrist and pulled her closer to him. She didn't protest, probably too concerned with the lovestruck fog that filled her head.

"Sorry," Clovis said quietly. "Force of habit."

"I didn't say anything," she muttered.

Of course, the suspicion was for nothing, because all they were playing was...Truth or Dare?

"Well," Clovis said in a laugh. "Haven't played that since college."

"Really, college was a thing during the Stone Age?" Odette cracked.

He frowned. "Again, 27 is not that old."

 

[AbraPunk]

He frowned. "Again, 27 is not that old."

"Gods, that human's as old as I am..." Antares whispered as he spared a glance at the human.
