Who: WHOEVER
What: A FABULOUS ISLAND VACATION
Where: TIKI ISLAND
When: July 22nd-July 29th August 5th
Warnings: SHENANIGANS

Ah, the simple pleasures of sun, sand, sea and sky.

After a rather uneventful plane ride, the collective staff and students of the Academy find themselves on a quaint tropical island resort, to commence what should prove to be a very relaxing and well-deserved break before classes resume.



Everyone is swiftly brought to the resort proper, a straw-and-bamboo complex that will be home for the weeks. Though slightly archaic-looking, the hotel is surprisingly modern, with all the amenities of a luxury hotel.



Hang at the tiki bar! Enjoy delicious island food and drink. Chill at the pool or the beach. There are even tiki golf carts to get you around in style. Then, when you're tired, head back to your room and crash.

Should you choose to explore the jungles that surround the resort, you'll soon find the remnants of some kind of ancient civilization. Rumors abound at the hotel of unfathomable treasure...and of terrible curses.

But they're probably just rumors. Right?



Hello and welcome to a Very Fabulous Smash Academy Island Vacation! Please use this log as a hotel hub for meetings and general interaction! When you start a thread, remember to put a location/description/date or time in the subject line, and link when you thread-hop.

Beyond this, you are encouraged to make your own journal posts (the hotel has internet for logging onto the school network, of course) and logs (be sure to tag them with *event - island vacation). Should you decide to log some cursed temple adventures, please be warned you might be surprised by a mod-type NPC. Additionally, if you would like this mysterious NPC anywhere, just poke a mod and we'll take care of it for you. Curses and treasures can, of course, be anything you'd like them to be! Refer to the original event post for more details.

As always, let a mod know if you have any questions. Happy vacationing!

Wrong!

While Vinnie was enjoying the sun, a Bulbasaur was running around the island, confused and upset. Of course the first person he spotted was Vinnie. For the moment, he tried to forget about the whole I-don't-want-to-talk-to-you thing. He wanted someone to talk to.

He skidded on the grass and sat on the grass next to the big Venusaur. He didn't say anything. Instead, he opted to hyperventilate.

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

The Venusaur was very happily about to drift off into the land of naps right about then. With his eyes closed and his brain in lazymode, he was about to write off the noise as just some forest critter. Maybe a large bug attracted to his scent. Whatever. He had sleeps to work on.

Then again, bugs didn't usual hyperventilate, did they. No, he was sure they didn't. And it didn't smell like a bug, it smelled like...

His bulgy red eyes blinked open, staring confoundedly at the new arrival. "What the--?"

[marieba.livejournal.com]

Marie's wide eyes shifted to Vinnie's now-open ones. Can you see how distraught he is, Vinnie? Because he is clearly distraught.

"Vinnie," Marie whined. "I'm a Bulbasaur."

Oh, dear. He was starting to cry again.

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

What is this

What is

What

Vinnie immediately leapt to his feet. As normally ecstatic as he'd be about seeing any sort of Bulbasaur around, it was an entirely different story if said Bulbasaur used to be an entirely different guy. (And it was easy to tell who, the whines of little brother voices was very familiar.)

First, the obvious: "What the fucking shit? How the hell'd this happen?!" Despite his choice of words, the Venusaur's voice was filled with worry.

[marieba.livejournal.com]

Thankfully Vinnie recognized him. That was worrying him, actually. Honestly, what if no one recognized him, and then they wouldn't believe him and they would think he was a Marie imposter or something equally ridiculous? That would be horrible. Oh god, but what if he was stuck like this and he'd have to tell Red and Red wouldn't love him anymore because he wasn't a Squirtle anymore and oh god?

Marie took a deep breath.

"I was going to go swimming or whatever! But Max was there and he pulled me into the thing and he's a Venusaur and now I'm a Bulbasaur and I hate it," he cried. "I don't know what to doooooo."

[punchvolcanoes]

Sasha had come to ask if both of them where interested in a game of beach volleyball. After all if the four of them could get together and...

She saw Marie.

And stared.

And stared.

And stared.

When she spoke, it was only three words.

"What the FU--"

The camera moved away from where everyone was standing. A flock of seagulls flew in the sky.

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

What a convenient camera change. Why didn't it ever happen with Vinnie?

But oh no Marie was really and truly freaking out. He gave Sasha a helpless look of help I have no idea how to fix this before giving Bulbasaur-Marie a brief nuzzle with the side of his nose.

That was just how Saurs comforted, you'll have to get used to the quadruped life now. But he had started smelling so sweet that it was pretty calming.

hi i'm tagging 3000 years later please don't hate me

[marieba.livejournal.com]

Sasha's yelling only seemed to make things worse. Marie let out a little shriek as the Charizard swore loudly enough to frighten a few birdies. "Don't look at meeee," he whined at Sasha, covering his face with his hands.

Admittedly Vinnie's nuzzling and the familiar sweet scent was somewhat comforting. He rest his head on the Venusaur's big bumpy one and let out a loud sigh. His negative feelings he had previously felt towards Vinnie seemed to suddenly disintegrate.

I WILL NEVER STOP FORGIVING YOU <3

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

Aw, lookit that. And all it took was a dip in a transformative cursed pool.

"Dude, it'll be okay," he murmured in low, Venusaur grumbles. "It'll wear off. It's gotta. I mean, other people've been turned into stuff before. Even Max's been a Bulbasaur."

[punchvolcanoes]

At the name, Sasha gritted her teeth and turned away, swishing her tail. She hated to say it out loud, but right now she even felt less of a team, being the only one who wasn't of the forest-line. She calmed down by looking at the waves, not sure if she should be leaving and letting them alone, or staying.

[marieba.livejournal.com]

Oh, Sasha. The only thing Marie wanted at that moment was not to be of said forest-line. He had only begged Sasha not to look at him because he was embarrassed by his appearance. The spots, the green everything... He felt absolutely hideous.

"What if it dooooesnnnn't?" Marie whined back at Vinnie. "What if I stay this way forever?" He looked to Sasha, uncovering his face. "Sashaaaa," he cooed quietly.

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

Hey, green was a beautiful colour okay. It brings out your eyes. You look great.

"Well..." Vinnie chewed on his words. "I'm sure Red would love a Bulbasaur. I mean, he's never had one before. Swimming's probably harder but... uh, you could go flying with Sis a lot easier with Vine Whip?"

C'mon back him up here, Sasha. Say something encouraging.

[punchvolcanoes]

Alright. Alright. Big sister instincts were kicking in full force, and turned back at him, with a grin, before raising her hang in the sky.

"Whatever happens, whatever form you take, you're still youself, right? Just different attacks, types and appearance. Red will love you for who you are, no matter what you might have turned into. He likes the you, you. What's in here..." she said pointing to her heart.

[marieba.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Red would love a Bulbasaur. Well maybe. But he would undoubtedly miss his Squirtle. Wouldn't he? Sasha's words were almost comforting. Until he realized Pokemon's personalities changed when they evolved; who's to say his personality wouldn't change as an entirely different Pokemon.

"I dunno," he whimpered. He stared at Sasha, wide-eyed and with the most pathetic frown. "Maybe... But I want to swim and I don't want to be a Bulbasaur..."

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

"You could just stay human t'swim," suggested Vinnie. "I mean, it can't be that different that way, 'part from still needing sun. You can still do a lot've things."

The Venusaur gave an encouraging nudge to Bulbasaur. "Sasha's right. You'll still always be you inside, even if your body's different."
