: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) ))

[ Fireworks are nice, indeed! This young lady here totally shares your Eevee's feelings. She stands not too far from you, watching the sky with a content smile- but notices you after a while, and walks up to you with the same smile. Fireworks are nice, but a conversation would be even nicer! Eespecially since she's still kind of lost. And what was that voice a bit earlier? ]

Hello there. Nice night, isn't it?

what can I say, I'm a sucker for vocaloid

[personal profile] snagemall 2012-04-03 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is. [Michael turns his attention to the other curiously. Her outfit vaguely reminds him of Cipher, but she seems a heck of a lot nicer than they were. At least we can be nice and introduce ourselves.] I'm Michael, and you are...?
cooloutfits: (A beautiful young lady)

nice to know I'm not the only one around here, then!

[personal profile] cooloutfits 2012-04-04 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Chloe! A pleasure to meet you, Michael, on such a nice night. Have you, perchance, been here for long?

[ Okay, let's get straight down to business. She's got the vaguest idea about the island, and finally finding someone with the ~answers~ seems like a very good idea. I mean, really, a city just popped around, what do you expect her to make of this? This place is ridiculous. ]

[personal profile] snagemall 2012-04-04 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you too, Chloe. And yeah, I've been for a while...well, it feels like it's been quite a while lately. I take it you're new?
cooloutfits: (Oh it is SO on!)

[personal profile] cooloutfits 2012-04-04 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that would be right! I have arrived some time ago, but there were so few people around, and they weren't all that helpful... I do hope you could explain what is going on to me?

[personal profile] snagemall 2012-04-04 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I can try! Basically, and I know it sounds kinda crazy, but from what I've been told, this island has this ability where it can randomly cause people from all over the world to show up here...like teleporting them here, maybe. And supposedly it can even bring people here from different universes and times or such, hence why sometimes it seems like there are multiples of the same people walking around somehow...

[He gives a slight sigh.] Though apparently nobody knows how to get back home on their own, it just seems like it'll one day randomly teleport you back at some point.
cooloutfits: (Try thinking with THIS for a change)

[personal profile] cooloutfits 2012-04-08 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh, so you can come back someday! That's good news. I've heard a bit about this island's ridiculous ability before, but no one was ever kind enough to explain it properly to me.

[ And now she pouts a little. ]

Still, this is all too... unusual. Besides, isn't it a little rude of the island just to bring us here, without any kind of warning or asking us if we even want to be brought here?

[personal profile] snagemall 2012-04-08 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess it is...well, at least it's not like you'll be stuck here forever? Plus, I've heard from one or two people that came back here after leaving somehow said that, for some reason, time doesn't pass at home while you're here. So...if you were doing something important back home or you get stuck here for quite a while, whenever you do manage to go back, everything at home will be as you left it...or something like that? [He finishes a bit awkwardly--usually he's the one being told things, not being the exposition fairy himself. ^^;;]
cooloutfits: (Get ready for a defeat!)

And then I accidentally a slow

[personal profile] cooloutfits 2012-04-17 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... Well, this place suddenly sounds way, way better now. ]

So... I guess I'm on a completely free, possibly never ending vacation that won't get me into any problems when I'm back home. I think I'm starting to understand why this place is called "awesome".

[ That smile just keeps getting bigger, oops. ]

no worries! o/

[personal profile] snagemall 2012-04-17 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can't help but give a slight laugh at that]

Yeah, I guess that is one way to look at it!
