Does anyone else find it slightly odd that the tremors have - for all intents and purposes - stopped? I have not been here for very long, but in the time I have, I've experienced some... interesting weather phenomena.

Along that vein, what's your favourite type of weather? Do you like the crisp and clear days of autumn? Or the warmth of spring?

Yeah, I think it's strange as well. I expected another earthquake if it's every few days. But this feels a lot like the "calm before the storm" period.

I don't have a favourite, but I like warm summer days! That means I can go to the pool with my friends or chill out inside with a nice AC running.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who's feeling uneasy. Something's not right, but I don't know what.

That does sound pretty good! Personally, I like spring. It's full of new life, and the days aren't too hot.

{wait}

what's AC and why does it run

Since it's October right now, I'm expecting something to pop up on or near Halloween. I'm basically expecting another eventful Halloween this year.

AC is air conditioner! Usually a machine or ventilation system that blows cool air.

What happened last year?

Ah, I understand now. It cools air, rather than a fan, which just moves it around.

....I wish my old office had air conditioning. :C

{yes that is a sadface. nanao is learning.}

A bunch of us kind of got spirited away into a creepy castle without any of our Pokemon. But we do eventually find three of them (three Pokemon for each of us) we owned inside the castle.

Then things get creepy with mysterious monsters and a major final boss like battle.

[Yep. And hey, that's a sadface! Go and learn the emoticons, Nanao!]

Maybe air conditioner will get invented and your old office will get them!

Hm. Well. That's not very good, is it.

{Atsuro, that doesn't sound real.}

...for that to happen someone would actually have to experience an airconditioner first.

Yeah, it's not good at all. It's rather freaky defending ourselves without our Pokemon.

[The entire experiences was almost like a dream.]

People invent things all the time, so maybe you'll get lucky?

{ excuse you, some people fight without pokemon all of the time! }

....freaky for you, maybe. How big was the castle?

I'll keep my fingers crossed, but most of our scientists are the mad geneticist type, rather than engineers.

[Hey, not him okay!]

Very big. Like Ye Olde Medieval Castle big.

Mad geneticist types? Does that mean a lot of freaky experiments that resulted in abominations against nature?

That's rather large, then.

Well, one of them cloned himself and created his own daughter. He himself is debately a crime against humanity.

...What?

And he got away with that?

Essentially, yes. He is kind of a very important person, despite being a raging arsehole.

That sounds almost familiar. Except less raging in my case.

It seems like everyone knows someone like that.

Like it's an almost universal thing. One for each world.

I wish it wasn't so, but it appears that way.

I would say there might be a world without one. But that means there's no one who loves science enough for it.

And there's a lot of people out there.

I don't trust it, things aren't usually that easy.

besides, my headaches haven't stopped.

You've been getting headaches? What have they been like?

{Nanao's Lieutenant senses have been pinged by this. Something's not right.}

They weren't bad at first, but they've gotten worse during the shaking. And they're taking longer to go away.

I don't get headaches like this usually, I think it's got to be connected somehow.

Has anything happened to you that might have caused the headaches? Any... weird markings appearing on your body, odd items turning up when you're sure that you've thrown it away?

I know it's a long shot, but something's got to be the cause of it.

[He does actually take a moment to check for markings, now that she's mentioned it.]

I don't know, but I'm not the only one it's happening to. Don't know what the connection is.

And no marks or weird things showing up. Why those things in particular?

I've had some experience with these kind of matters, and there are usually some kind of indicators of where these thing come from.

...you haven't picked up any strange items over your time here, have you? Like crystals, or little carved things.

{envy have you been playing with magical talismans. talismen. talismany?}

HA! I doubt it's over. It's building up to something.

Any guesses on what it'll be?

I doubt this is the end of it. Whaever's causing those quakes is probably trying to lure us into a false sense of security.

I mean, it's October. These things always go south.

I'm guessing you're not just talking about severe autumn storms, by the sounds of it.

You don't think the tremors were natural?

Considering the weird crystal vibrations and the headaches I've been having? I'd say so. This is the time of year where things go south. If something's fishy in October, that usually mans we're on the edge of a disaster.

Weird crystal vibrations? That's the first I've heard of those.

....I will step up my disaster preparations, then.

Well, the crystals popped up a few months back. If you weren't around in May, you wouldn't have gotten a chance to scoop up some shards.

I'd just play it safe for now. Gather supplies if you need to, stick close to friends. Hopefully we won't be dealing with anything too serious.

I showed up in late July, so I guess I only just missed out. But not by much, it seems.

I'll do that. A little extra training won't hurt, either.

...say, what's the official word on weapons around here?

It ain't that easy. We're in for somethin', I just can't guess at what yet.

[He didn't think it would be Nightmare Castle 2.0, but...who could tell?]

Well - what's happened in the past? Sometimes looking back is the only way to look forward.

{nanao now is not the time for koans}

Well, there was the time we got transported to a castle to fight a giant monster, or whatever that whole thing was.

...you're not pulling my leg, are you? Because that sounds. Well.

Ridiculous.

Couldn't make that shit up if I tried.

Did you at least have your pokemon?

When you say it out loud like that, I feel like we're going to be jinxed...

Admittedly, that was not my intention.

It's alright. Someone was going to say it eventually, right?

I just hope it's not a calm before the storm...

I'm going to start training my pokemon with a little more intensity, just in case. Can't be too careful!

Just be sure not to overwork them! Sometimes that can have the opposite effect of what you want.

Mine are still pretty keen, luckily. And I've got many pokemon who could do with a bit of training.

Good luck, then. If there's anything I can help with, don't be afraid to ask. I'm a Breeder, so I've been doing a lot of research regarding Pokemon.

Don't suppose anyone finds it sightly odd they 'appened in the first place?

From what I've been told, earthquakes have happened before, a few months back - but this cluster is unusual.

Reckon I missed those ones... what, so these shakin' things are fine as long as it's only one?

[sorry she knows literally nothing about earthquakes]
