9PM - In the forest clearing

[after_the_flower]

Sophie had seen all the people dressed up, how weird...why were they doing that? And then they were eating candy...?

Sophie didn't even want to inquire, it seemed too weird for her tastes. She'd rather tend to one of her gardens.

It was late at night for that sort of thing, but this was where Sophie felt most like at home. Though thinking of home right now made her still sad...She had to go back and see Asbel.

...But for now, she must check on her flowers. No matter what the implication, flowers always made her feel at least little happy. She hummed to herself as she looked at her flowers and enjoyed the quiet. That was until she felt she wasn't alone anymore.

Oct 31st - some time at night, like 10 or something

[dothelokomotion]

Byrne knew very little about this Halloween holiday. All he knew was that last year he was forced to chaperone a masquerade, forced to wear a ridiculous mask and getup for that evening. But there was no such requirement this year, or at least he hadn't heard of anything. But there were festivities, children in costumes, candy being tossed around, and Byrne cared for none of it.

He escaped to one of his usual secluded areas, the forest. However, there was something different about it tonight. Something eerie. Byrne had dealt with all kinds of enemies before, even nearly having his life ended by a demon lord, so he wasn't terribly scared. Just cautious.

He knew he wasn't alone, though.

A time after meeting up with their teams - They'll get in the woods eventuallyyyy

[rivalrazorleaf]

And so it was that Bulba was a babby and the rest of his team Was Not. That was totally okay, it meant that he had lots of access to dragon slides and warm cuddles and it was good. The fact that Green was suddenly a lady was a little weird, but Bulba had quickly identified the benefits of that as well. As far as weird shit happening on Halloween, this was all something that he could totally live with.

Especially when he wasn't really worried about it. He had the carefree enthusiasm of a toddler and the mentality to match. It didn't really seem like it would be a big deal if he wandered off when the three older boys weren't looking. He wanted to explore and stick his nose in things and find someone to play with that could keep up.

Dear Future Playmate, he was looking for you in the long grass. Though he was not terribly far from some lanterns, because that much remained the same about his mentality.

oops still elusive to his team

[punchtheseeds]

Meanwhile, there was another Bulbasaur in the grass - with less romping, more sneaking. He might've been just a child, but this was still a Bulbasaur with a mission. The only problem was, there was just a bit too much feral blood in him to seek help of the human kind - the answers he needed would surely be found in green groves and the safety of the trees. He wanted his mom. Mom would know what was going on, because she could do anything. She could fix it.

He'd already searched the greenhouse, the courtyard, the fields, and he had investigated the glowing orange gourd display from a distance, but she wasn't there. So now naturally, the only place Celebi would be found was in the wild wood, he reasoned with his baby Bulbsaur mind. That was where he was going.

Rustle rustle rustle.

whoops

[rivalrazorleaf]

Rustle rustle rustle.

Rustle rustle.

POUNCE.

The sneaky Bulbasaur's progress was interrupted by a shiny menace from the side as Bulba unveiled his totally honed and precise predatory skills. (He leapt noisily from the grass besides Vinnie.)

"Ba!"

Boo? Ba.

[punchtheseeds]

"Saugh!" The sudden fright overtook this wild Bulbasaur who, up until now, had been nothing less than masterfully elusive. In his startled state, his kneejerk reaction was to tackle first, ask questions later. This is why you don't sneak up on a secret agent who was keenly focused on his mission. WHAM.

Sorry, Bulba. There they went, the two of them, tumbling forcefully through the grass.

[rivalrazorleaf]

"Saur!"

That tackle had been a little more legit than Bulba had been anticipating, but that was still pretty okay. As far as his brain was translating, this was a Fun Tussle, not a Bad Tussle, even if that sort of smarted. So off they went through the grass, one grumbling and one giggling.

In the middle of this good (?) time, the smaller saur nuzzled his nose up in Vinnie's face with a big grin. There was only one other saur on campus, after all, so there was no doubt in Bulba's mind who this mystery saur he had pounced on was.

10/31 - Late Night - Soryk's 'Fortress'

[tealribbons]

He couldn't understand it. The forest hadn't been so lively at all when he'd arrived. Yet, for one reason or another, the night had been filled with all varieties of footsteps and nonsensical happenings. Even Soryk, the man unstirred by much, had caught himself pausing and looking over his shoulder.

Had he seen something? Was it simply his imagination?

The man had spent more than enough time in forests, and not simply this one either. If he knew anything, it was how to survive. Patting the handles of his daggers at his waist, he found himself staring off into the eerie night accented by shadows, occasional lights, and miscellaneous sounds.

Do bring it on, he thought.

around 10:30PM way in the woods

[duodeca]

Noel's purpose for coming into the forest again was to find a certain friend of hers, though that search seemed to go no where. With that she figured she would leave. After all, it was a bad idea to be out so late on Halloween Night, she thought. With all the people in scary costumes, playing pranks on everyone else and doing who knows what. People seem to get crazy on this night. They're all hellbent on scaring whatever victim they come across.

There was a problem with that, however. She got lost once again. She underestimated how far in her search took her. Not good. Trying to keep her mind clear, she began walking in the opposite direction that she started with. But she couldn't shake the feeling that someone else was there.

[ninjaprincess]

Something was wrong in the forest tonight.

She wasn't sure what it was, yet, but she did know that something felt off. As an RA, her self-imposed duties extended to keeping the students safe, so if something was wrong with the forest, Zelda was going to take it on herself to investigate.

She wasn't defenseless--far from it, in fact, but she seemed wary to enter anyway, lingering at the edge as if waiting for the abnormality to meet her in the middle.

Re: princess slenderventures

[givemeyouranswerdo]

She wasn't alone either. After all, as the old saying went, two princesses were better than one. Daisy was accompanying her on this little adventure, but even she had to admit that something was just off tonight.

"Are you SURE you want to do this?" Daisy whispered.

[ninjaprincess]

Zelda nodded, still facing straight ahead into the forest, which was slowly filling with fog.

"There's something very wrong out there, and I think we'd do well to find out what it is while it's still in the forest."

[punchtheseeds]

The nuzzle brought the bold Bulbsaur back to his senses, and he blinked to find a familiar smile beaming back at him. He'd never seen him so small though, this shiny Saur was practically just a baby! The wild Seed Pokemon quickly got to his feet again, still blinking in surprise.

"You're tiny, sa! Tinier than tiny!"

[rivalrazorleaf]

"Bulll, tiny tiny!" He repeated. Bulba turned himself around in a circle and then sat, pushing himself back on his hind legs to try and match the older saur's height.

"You're a bigger tiny, ba!"

[punchtheseeds]

The bold Bulbasaur pressed his nose against Bulba's by way of a proper greeting, though probably his fierce nuzzle would be enough to tip the younger Grass Type right over. Bulbs were considerably heavier than buds, after all.

"What happened, sa?"

[rivalrazorleaf]

And whoop, there he went. The bittysaur toppled over into the grass, giggling all the way.

"Ba... hehe Um... I don't know, ba! I was walking and then everything was reaaalllyyy BIG, ba!"

He hopped right back on his feet and brushed up close without any regard, unabashedly nudging his nose under Vinnie's chin.

"I didn't fall in a pool, ba, but did you??"

Re: around 10:30PM way in the woods

[bluestreaker]

Of course someone else was there. He was a walking ultramarine fur coat with the guns to get, well, G.U.N. gunnin' it.

Sonic lingered in the trees for the most part, but tonight he was on the forest floor, poking his head into the hollow of a tree trunk. He was checking out some squirrel's house to give an opinion. Acorns on the left, or acorns on the right? This was a difficult call and the couple inside was about to duke it out over the matter.

The crunching of dry leaves startled him to the point he smacked the back of his skull on the tree while pulling it out, turning to see exactly what made that sound.

And lookie who!

"Noel?" What was she doing here again? "Noel!" He repeated, louder this time.

[duodeca]

With the unsettling air about and her being on edge as it was, Noel's first instinct was to jump and let out a short scream upon her name being called. Thankfully she recognized the voice (kind of) calling out and tried to calm her breathing before she gave herself a panic attack.

Just the guy she was looking for.

"O-Oh... S-Sonic..." She paused, taking a deep breath and exhaling sharply, then continuing. "I found you..."

[givemeyouranswerdo]

"It sure FEELS wrong out here," Daisy replied hesitantly. "It's never felt like this before..."

[punchtheseeds]

"Noooo..." The less bitty Bulbasaur tilted his head curiously, trying to remember the details. "I heard a sound and I shrunk. I didn't get wet or anything, saur."

Okay, clearly something was afoot. A situation of grave consequence. Once again, it was up to this Bulbasaur had to keep it together and take care of everyone! Especially Bulba, who was too much of a baby to realize anything bad had even happened. He brought down his chin to still the smaller Saur for a moment.

"I'm gonna go into the forest to find mom. She can figure everything out, sa"

[rivalrazorleaf]

He stilled as desired, but it was more curiosity that did it than anything else.

"Ba... your mom ba?" He'd never heard about Vinnie's mom before! "She's in there now, bul???"

[punchtheseeds]

"Yeah!" The Bulbasaur puffed with pride and smiled cheekily. "She's really pretty and super powerful and she'll know everything, basaur.

"You should come with me, sa! Then you can meet her!"

oops all his saur icons are 8D

[rivalrazorleaf]

"Oooooooohhhh," Bulba cooed. Gosh, he wondered what she looked like! You'd think he would have met her before now!! He couldn't remember any Mrs. Vinnie's Moms though.

"Ba..."

The tiny Bulbasaur scooched up a bit closer to Vinnie as he peered over at the treeline. "Isn't it, um, really dark in there ba?" It wasn't like he was scared though! No, totally not. He just, you know, needed to make sure Vinnie knew it was really dark in there. Cause it was really dark. The sun was already mostly down!

whatever all my icons suck

[punchtheseeds]

Hmm, the sun was getting pretty low. But this wouldn't take too long, in this Bulbasaur's mind. Besides, the forest held nothing frightening to him, not even at night. They'd just go in, and get out.

"It'll be quick, sa," he promised. "Besides, I'll protect you! Just stay close to me, saur!"

imma punch you

[rivalrazorleaf]

Well. If he was with Vinnie, he guessed it'd be all right. He was really strong, after all, even as a Bulbasaur probably.

Bulba made a little nod under his chin. "Bul.... I'd like to meet her so..." He wiggled away from Vinnie and danced slightly in place. "Ok, ba!"
