:Duplication:!

[April 1.

April Fool's Day.

The Island has heard of this day, heard it from people past and present and hopefully in the future. You would think that, with the Island being the Island being a complete and utter whacko who springs all kinds of crazed and insane and out of the ordinary situations on the people and Pokemon that live on it, a day such as April Fool's Day would go down exceptionally well with a landmass that acts the fool. If you were thinking that, you thought wrong. The Island loves CHRISTMAS. The Island loves VALENTINE'S DAY.

Right now, at this present moment in time, maybe the Island could come to love April Fool's Day as well.

Eri has gone. Released his ownership. That is something known for certain; there was that conversation with Touko, that conversation with Soul, the ritual performed. Tina hasn't come back to reclaim what was once hers, either. The Island... is free. Free from being belonged by a Giratina. Free to do whatever it pleases, only increased tenfold. Or hundredfold. Or even millionfold because WHY NOT.

A cause for a celebration.

The first thing to happen is to transform the CMA. In a flurry of purple glitter, red and white shooting stars and pink smoke that smells faintly of raspberries, the CMA as people came to know it since the fifth of May, 2008 is no more. It's not a FIELD anymore. If anything, the CMA now closely resembles a PARK.

A park that is encircled entirely by a city.

A city that has every kind of building imaginable.

Smaller buildings, larger buildings, saner buildings, whackier buildings. All ripe for exploration, discovery and habitation.

That's not all the Island has done.

Bollards have appeared in random locations all across the terrain. They are simplistic and grey, standing roughly four feet tall and have a glowing purple swirl engraved on the top of them. Touching them will take somebody elsewhere on the Island. Azimuth Plain, Aurora Forest, Pivot Mountain, the Seven Lakes, Lake WTF... literally anywhere within the confines.

Down past the rocky landscape that surrounds Umbra Cave, a thick, unrelenting fog has appeared along the most southern edge. It can be touched, yet it cannot be removed no matter what the means.

Then there is the main thing.

With all of its shiptastic might, the Island has duplicated itself right down to the very last detail. While the original stays precisely where it was, the twin, per se, appears in a new dimension, yet still south of a Sinnoh. Perhaps this will help increase the population of humans back to how it once was. Perhaps. Perhaps. Time will tell, for sure.

With changes finished, that precise moment is sealed with a fireworks display. The sky is littered with every colour of the rainbow, scattered in all directions and forming shapes, figures such as past Islanders gone by, flowers, love hearts, you name it. The dazzling arrangement shows no signs of ceasing, either. It's going to remain for the rest of the night, to be enjoyed and cherished.

Finally, now that everything is settled and how it wants things to be for the time being, the Island speaks, a booming voice echoing over the fireworks;]


HEY GUISE! Enjoy the new changes because I love you all! Explore Monday City and the shiny looking new CMA!

[You heard the Island. Can't let it down now, can you?]

(( OOC: Et voila! After many weeks of speculation and dithering on my part, the Dreamwidth mirror of Pokedressing is open! Livejournal's community will remain open for the time being, too.

An entry from myself, Vycksta, on DW!PUD will occur within the next couple of days, listing all the changes that has happened both IC and OOC. Stay tuned! 8) ))

S-so it's boring and girly. { There happy?} ...I guess the culture thing could be okay, maybe.
championnot: (Chills run down my spine)

[personal profile] championnot 2012-04-02 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
How about exploring the city itself? Didn't you like that part when you were on your journey?
championfire: (So many choices.)

[personal profile] championfire 2012-04-02 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
...They had gyms though that made them fun.
championnot: (So I may as well ditch my dismay)

[personal profile] championnot 2012-04-02 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
You're battle-crazy.
championfire: (Jiiiiiiiii)

[personal profile] championfire 2012-04-02 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
... It's fun though.
championnot: (And your sighs harmonize with mine)

[personal profile] championnot 2012-04-02 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's true, but it's good to enjoy a lot of different things.
championfire: (OMG WTF THERE IS MORE THEN GEN 1?)

[personal profile] championfire 2012-04-02 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Like snow, and mountains, and training Pokemon.
championnot: (Whenever I'm holding you)

[personal profile] championnot 2012-04-02 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Those too, but...
championfire: (Default)

[personal profile] championfire 2012-04-02 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
...But?
championnot: (Looking down on the world)

[personal profile] championnot 2012-04-02 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
That's not a lot of things.

[ ... Well this is new.

Is that older him over there? Yep, that's older him over there all right. He has heard from Gold that there are doubles of people here, but he hasn't met any other him... s yet. This clearly requires investigation! Or maybe just some staring from afar.

Morty, there is now a teenage version of yourself watching you carefully from some distance. His Gastly and Misdreavus look interested, too, because other Ghost Pokemon might very well mean good news for them and bad for the people around. ]
even_less_fashion_sense: (^D^)

[personal profile] even_less_fashion_sense 2012-04-02 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... You look like that guy he tried his best not to get drunk with before the Island changed. Maybe it actually is you. Even if you're not that guy, it still would be nice to make a new acquaintance. Or just try to sort out which Red is which. HANDWAVE ]

Hey.
even_less_fashion_sense: (^D^)

FINALLY /INSERT HAPPY EMOTE HERE

[personal profile] even_less_fashion_sense 2012-04-02 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There is some sort of magic in the air. No, not that kind of magic. Not the fake one either. The Awesome Island kind of magic.

Morty isn't into loud sounds, or big cities, or the surroundings changing overnight, but the fireworks look pretty, and the new city looks interesting - there are all kinds of buildings, apparently, maybe there is a Tower - and he feels strangely excited about all this. He should go explore the city! Yeah, definitely!

And he's about to run off, but then an idea strikes him- maybe it would be more interesting to go with... well, not friends, he doesn't really have those, but someone he knows? Maybe he could find Gold among all these people, or maybe Eusine, but most likely Gold, and then they could go explore the city together. Gold never really finished showing him around, anyway.

tl;dr: there's a teenage Morty walking around the CMA now, looking for any familiar faces, and sometimes going as far as grabbing some shoulders- granted, only if they look like familiar shoulders. ]
even_less_fashion_sense: (SUP TROLLING)

[ Whoah sis, chill out, that trashcan did nothing. Maybe it was a very nice trashcan, in fact, and you knocked it out. Have some shame. ]

I don't see how exactly we're being controlled.
iceolated: (If speed's a pro)

[personal profile] iceolated 2012-04-02 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ handwave back. Although he has no idea who you are lol. ]
iceolated: (Freeze all the rivers)

[personal profile] iceolated 2012-04-02 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ YOU DON'T KNOW THAT ]
even_less_fashion_sense: (^D^)

[personal profile] even_less_fashion_sense 2012-04-02 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay, Red, you're about to find out... in a few minutes. ]

Have we met? You look like one guy I know.

Hey!

[Looks like Carys' assault on an inanimate object attracted the attention of Rui, whose expression went sterner upon seeing the other girl. She has arrived on Awesome Island for the first time and is naturally confused as to where she is, where her best friend and her Grandparents are, why she is here and who it was that just spoke; a quartet of concerns that can be discounted for the time being.

There is no need for such a violent reaction.]


That trashcan did not deserved to be stomped down because of your petulant attitude!

Should that be the awesome emote instead?

[personal profile] inasortofaura 2012-04-02 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[After her escapades with Carys, Rui is back to where she arrived; the CMA, via the means of one of those bollards.]

Woah!

[Careful, Morty, she appeared quite close by to yourself.]
even_less_fashion_sense: (YOOOOOOOOOO)

Mayhaps. I was thinking something along the lines of CRYING HAPPY TEARS though oh god PD is alive

[personal profile] even_less_fashion_sense 2012-04-02 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay he totally got this, you can chill.

By which I mean he is going to... well, pretty much walk into you. Thankfully, he isn't even walking fast, and he will be alerted by your voice - but a little bit too late. He does manage to slow down, though, so the real collision doesn't happen, but still oh god what is this almost non-existant distance between you two this is way too awkward

STEPPING AWAY ]


O-Oh, sorry!

[[ Confused isn't the half of what Marley is feeling. She's a little scared as well and shies away under her parasol. Cities mean socalising. Socialising is not a thing Marley can do. ]]

Would you like a tissue for those happy tears?

[personal profile] inasortofaura 2012-04-02 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[TALK ABOUT GETTING UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL IN ONE OF THE MOST AWKWARD WAYS IMAGINABLE. Rui too also takes a step back, one that has a stagger to it due to the disorientation from teleporting from one place to another in three seconds flat.]

Oh! It's okay, I'm sorry too! I had no idea that that would happen!

You mean to say you came here of your own free will?
breakthecause: (➭ Unhappy)

WHO ARE YOU GO AWAY

[personal profile] breakthecause 2012-04-02 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[[ Did

Somebody

Dare to raise their voice against her?

Her sharp gaze fixates on Rui, her sharp temperament remaining. When Carys starts off about having control, it takes quite the while for her to stop. ]]


Then what say you keep on walking and stop butting in!
