Interdimensional Jailbreak - An RP Campaign

[FlareTheBlitz]

Hey all! After coming up with a plot in the Character Groupchat thread by IFBench (completely on accident), I have decided to create a seperate thread for that plot specifically! If you want the whole story, you can look through the Character Groupchat thread for the whole shtick. But if you don't wanna read all that, I'll give you the Cliffnotes version.

SUMMARY: After joining a mysterious group chat, Blitz (a shiny Torchic, IE my character in the campaign) recieves a message from someone named Giovanni, who has a request. To free his son who is being held captive by the mythical Pokémon, Celebi. Sure, why not? But it's never that simple. Blitz is stuck in prison, which, y'know, kind of makes it difficult to waltz out the front door. If he's gonna pull this off, he'll need help. He needs your help.

BASIC RULES: If you want to hop in, just come up with a basic Pokémon character sheet and post that alongside your RP response. All you really need to include is a name, the Pokémon species, the age of your character, and anything else that might be useful for others to know. If you want to include other character traits, you are most certainly welcome to, but you are not required to do so in order to contribute. As for what you can or can't say while RPing, if you follow basic RP/human editquite, then you should be fine. I trust that you guys know what is or isn't off-limits.

Finally, if any of you have any questions or comments, free free to respond with them here, or shoot me a PM, whichever one is most convenient!

With that out of the way, let's begin!

(Oh yeah, should probably put Blitz's character sheet in here haha)
NAME: Blitz
POKEMON SPECIES: Torchic (Shiny)
AGE: 18 (In "human" years, at least. So he just became an adult)
ANYTHING ELSE?: Reckless, yearns for adventure, a natural fighter (even though he sometimes fights Pokémon that he can't handle), stubborn in a good way ("I won't quit," vs. "You can't tell me what to do")

(Might edit this character info sheet if I feel so inclined, I'm not sure yet...)

Blitz's heartrate quickened as he reread the message. It almost seemed like a prank. A joke. There was no way this was real! A human, out of all things, was stuck in an interdimensional prison? Guarded by Celebi, no less? It sounded like something from a children's book!

But if he was being serious, this was an opportunity that you couldn't pass up. Rescuing a human from the gods themself? Who says no to that? After a pause as his hands hovered over the keyboard, he finally figured out how to respond.

CursedChicken: I'm in. How can I help?

I haven't attempted to RP before, but count me in!

Name: Doduo
Age: Judging from the dogtags is likely at least 10 years old.
Appearance: A chubby Doduo.
Gender: Male
Personality: This Doduo is weird. He is masochistic as all Doduo from his world are. Doesn't mind all manner of unpleasant and unfortunate things that happen to him. Occasionally helps out others. Seems stupid all the time, but displays occasional sharp intelligence. Appears to be house trained and is delicate around breakable objects. Can get moody at times. Loves to eat worms that he finds disgusting. Enjoys dancing and being smug.
Species: Doduo
Item: Old worn dogtags. One around each neck. One has "go" written on it with nothing on the back. The other has "tan" written on it with a male symbol on the back.
Fic of origin (if any): TCG2: Doduo Adventures
Special Abilities: Regeneration. (Think wolverine from X-Men, but slower. A pokemon game comparison might be a Pokemon holding the leftovers item or a pokemon that used the ingrain attack.). It is unknown what the extent of this regeneration is.

Anything else you'd like me to know?: He sleeps with both heads at once when normal Doduo would alternate heads sleeping. Seems to be constantly shedding feathers which grow abnormally fast. Is highly athletic to the point where he can run on water or even up waterfalls. Is fat compared to normal Doduo. Doesn't know any special Pokemon attacks, but can presumably use simple attacks such as kicking, pecking, scratching, or tackling. Regardless of ability, Doduo seems to never attack any mon or human except other Doduo from his world. Attacking is considered a form of play among Doduo, but only with each other. Is able to make other Doduo from his world feel afraid of him by currently unobserved means. Is either mute or refuses to speak even with other Pokemon. Is either unable or unwilling to chat via typing. Like all Doduo from his world, he is able to take damage from attacks made by opponents cards in the Pokemon Trading Card Game.

*A Doduo appears next to Blitz*

*Doduo stands there blinking with a dull and vacant gaze.*

*A single feather falls to the ground from him*

Oh my gods... gio is going to get an ulcer from second hand contamination... bare minimum.

I will def be in post catnip w gios character/rap sheet.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

Blitz let out an involuntary yelp once he sees the Doduo who seemingly appeared out of thin air. Panicking, he looks around to see if anyone had spotted his new cellmate. Nope, everyone else was asleep, dead to the world.

Blitz's mind began flooding with questions, the most obvious one being "WHO THE HECK IS THIS GUY???". He eventually took a deep breath. Calm down, you moron. It's just a Doduo. A Doduo that knows Teleport, apparently.

Whatever, he shrugs. "Um... hi!" He says to the Doduo. "Uh... what's your name?" He figures that would be a better response then confused screaming, which would've been his second option.

 

[133TFR33k]

Doduo looked with both heads at Blitz tilting both heads inquisitively.

He then used both heads to look around the cell, each head looking in different directions.

He then fell backwards to sit with a thud and smiled with both heads, seemingly content to be imprisoned.

The force of falling backwards dislodged several feathers which floated softly the the ground.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

Blitz watched the Doduo's feathers flutter to the ground in disbelief. Well, at least his new Doduo companion seemed to be enjoying himself and wasn't freaking out. It was weird to see a 'mon, sitting in a jailcell with a big smile on their face. Well, faces. It felt like something that shouldn't exist, like an oxymoron. But in real life.

"Hey, can you talk?" He winced immediately after the words left his beak. He hadn't meant to sound rude or anything. "Sorry," he eventually managed. "I'm just… confused."

 

[133TFR33k]

Doduo's eyes went wide for a moment before his vacant look returned.

He then squawked.

After that, he simply stared at you. No judgement, expectation, disgust, affection, or anything else really.

He seemed to be waiting for something as the dog-tags around his necks gleamed in the low light of the cell.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

By some miracle, nobody wakes up after the squawk from Doduo. Thank Arceus, Blitz let out a sigh. The Doduo's eyes felt like they were piercing Blitz's soul, at least that's how he felt.

That's when Blitz spotted the pair of nametags. "Sorry, do you mind if I-?" he started, until he realized the Doduo probably didn't care. He gently held up the two nametags and read the engravings. "Tan... go? Tango? Is that your name?" He tried to put his tone down to something more soothing to try and calm his nerves.

 

[133TFR33k]

Doudo's eyes widened as they began to water.

Tango smiled as one of his heads nudges you much in the way a pet might do to show affection towards an owner.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

(Awwwww...)

Blitz was initally taken aback, but sympathy eventually got the better of him. "Hey, it's alright..." he said, giving each head a pat. That's what you're supposed to do when you're comforting someone, right? "It's ok, don't cry..." he paused. "My name's Blitz. I can help you." He just sat there for a bit, trying his best to reassure Tango.

"You know what?" Blitz pulled out a floor tile, revealing a secret compartment. Inside was exactly two Oran Berries, so he grabbed both of them and handed them to Tango. "Here. I know it's not much, but..." he trailed off, not sure what to say next.

 

[133TFR33k]

Tango looked towards the berry tilting both heads.

He then reached out with a head to sniff it.

After tilting his head again he pecked it a little with his beak and licked the side of one of the berries where the outside was now broken.

His eyes went wide and darted around like he was processing a lot of information.

Could this be his very first Oran berry?

Tango looked down at the berry and pecked it chewing it in his beak to get more of the juice on his tongue before swallowing it.

He was now smiling again and moving his head up and down, almost as if he was sure the berry would be repulsive to him.

Tango looked back toward the other berry and licked his beak with his other head before going wide-eyed and nudging the berry towards Blitz. He then moved his heads away from the berry and lowered his heads.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

Blitz smiled to see Tango enjoyed the berry, but hesitated once Tango nudged the other berry back towards him. "Wait, are you sure?" Blitz asked. "That was for you, I don't-" Blitz's stomach growled in protest.

Reluctantly, he picked up the Oran Berry and took a small bite. Delicious. "Thank you," Blitz tried to say, but it came out as more of a whisper.

Maybe jail wasn't so bad after all, if you had a friend by your side.

Blitz quickly finished off the berry and sighed. "Well... it's almost morning. Maybe we'll get lucky and be able to play a round of baseball in the courtyard." He quickly pulled out his Rotom Phone, and before he forgot, shot Gio another text message.

CursedChicken: Hey, any chance I can bring a friend along to help you out? Because I think I just found one :)

 

[CuteBunnyGirl]

(OOC question but is this for human or pokemon characters?)

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

(It's mainly for Pokémon characters, since in the world Blitz and Tango are currently in is a PMD world without humans. However, if you wanted to be human, you can, but they would most likely have to be in a seperate universe/timeline until they meet up for the first time.)

(But feel free to join in! The more the merrier!)

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

(@K_S I'm just imagining Giovanni expecting these two big strong Pokémon to be the ones who are offering to help him, but then he just sees a freakin' Torchic and Doduo instead )

(I'm gonna see if I can move this plot forward a little bit...)

After a few minutes of silence, the duo are both half-forced into the dining room. They're both given a tray of "food," with food being a loose term. It stops you from being hungry, but that's about it. No taste, just a flavorless paste that temporarily sustains you. Makes you miss the Oran Berries.

As Blitz is taking his tray to a table, a Charmeleon elbows Blitz and both him and his tray hits the ground. "Freak," the Charmeleon growled, not even stopping. Blitz's face turns red in either anger or embarrassment. Maybe a mix of both.

 

[133TFR33k]

Tango watched the tray clatter to the floor splattering the slop partway on a nearby wall.

Tango was carrying his own tray expertly with one of his beaks.

Tango was transfixed on the tray that fell and begins to drool.

Slowly he passes his in-tact tray to Blitz.

Perhaps Blitz thanked him for this gesture, but Tango was too busy to notice.

He then fell to the floor licking all slop in sight with reckless abandon.

Was it tasty? How could it be? Was it disgusting? Judging from Tango's faces, it certainly seemed to be.

Did that stop Tango? No... no it most certainly did not...

After licking up the last of the slop, Doduo stood straight as if at attention in a military drill. He then promptly belched loudly with satisfied smiles on both heads.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

Blitz slowly picked himself off of the floor, trying his best to wipe the slop out of his feathers. That is, until he noticed the hundreds of eyes that were staring at Tango. The same Charmeleon walked towards Tango and started jeering him. "Look at this freak! Eating off the floor like some sort of wild 'mon!" the Charmeleon laughed, shoving Tango to the ground.

Blitz didn't think, he simply reacted. In one swift movement, he slammed his empty metal tray into the Charmeleon's face with a CLANG! The racist Charmeleon was knocked out instantly. "Get away from my friend," he growled at the now-unconcious lizard.

 

[133TFR33k]

Tango simply got back up with a smile. Was this bird unbothered by being shoved over? Was it because Blitz had come to his rescue? Perhaps Tango's philosophy is to be happy in all situations? He certainly was an odd bird...

He then looked towards Blitz tilting his head slowly looking from him to the Charmeleon on the floor as he blinked a few times. Perhaps the bird was not expecting such an effective attack from such a comparatively tiny mon?

He then squawked, unperturbed by the amount of eyes on the spectacle.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

(Blitz used Metal Tray! It's super effective! [I'm sorry I had to say it :P])

The silence didn't last long. The prison guards snapped out of their stupor and grabbed both Blitz and Tango forcefully. "You two are coming with us," one of them, a Lucario about five times bigger than Blitz, said finally.

Blitz gave the Lucario a very sarcastic grin. "Oh, what are you gonna do? Arrest me again? Dirty creep," he snarled, revealing a side of Blitz that Tango hadn't seen before. "PRAISE ARCEUS YA MINDLESS SLAVES!!" Blitz suddenly shouted.

The Lucario responded by slapping Blitz in the face and dragging the two of them away from the dining room and towards... an office?
