: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! ))

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. ]Ack, sorry, I think I lost the notif for this
He waves at him, noticing he looks a little cautious.]
Hey, there!
It's okay, don't worry about it! o7
But anyway, waving back! ]
Hey.
[ And he'll even come closer to take a better look at you. All this feels weird, but at the same time kind of exciting. ]
no subject
I don't think I've seen you around before, have I? Not unless the island's doing things to people's ages again, anyway.
no subject
[ ... Well, he should probably shake hands with you, you are sort of a new acquaintance after all. Extending his hand! ]
... And I didn't know the island can change people's ages, too. I thought it only brought them here?
no subject
[He shrugs a little, and handshakes happen!]
I'm honestly not sure how much this needs to be said, but hi, I'm Morty. As for the age-changing thing, weird things just happen sometimes. The Island has an... interesting sense of humor.
no subject
[ Handshake! Wow, it feels kind of weird to shake hands with yourself. ]
Same here. And well, I have heard the island does... things, but never thought it goes this far.
...
... By the way, are those all your Pokemon?
[ Is he going to have them all when he grows up too ]
no subject
Hm? Oh, yes. Though I got Numina on the island. She's, uh, the Misdreavus there.
[The one that seems to be arguing with Gengar now. Morty sighs a little, rubbing the back of his neck.] She can be a handful sometimes.
no subject
I see. Guess you're not the grown up me, then. I've had my Misdreavus ever since I was a kid... and, uh, he's a guy.
[ Misdreavus, hearing his name, floats over to you two and receives a bropet from his Morty. Good Misdreavus, best ghostbro. ]
... Though he can be kinda troublesome sometimes, too. But I still love him.
no subject
[Meanwhile, a few of Morty's ghosts have made their way over to him, clustering around behind him. He reaches down to pet Gengar's head lightly.]
no subject
[ Grin. But that "different names" thing triggers a memory- ]
Oh, I think I've met someone from a universe with different names already. A girl. She called me... Well, I kinda forgot what was it, but it wasn't my name.
[ Anyway ghoooosts let's pay attention to ghosts! He watches your Gengar with curiosity: he's never really seen one before. Gastlys and Haunters are rather common, but only trainers have Gengars, and he's never met any actual trainers back in Ecruteak. ]
no subject
[Gengar looks up and gives a little wave before sinking into the ground in his trainer's shadow until all that's left is the glowing red eyes and the wide grin. Very Cheshire Cat. Morty sighs and rolls his eyes.]
Show-off.
no subject
[ Speaking of meeting people... ]
By the way, do you know a man called Eusine? Is he a friend of yours?
[ And while you think of your answer, he's going to squat and... poke the shadow? Hey, Gengar, can you feel it? ]
no subject
[Gengar sticks his tongue out at you. Whether that's a yes or no...]
Oh, Eusine? Yes. If you're from before I met him, I suppose I should apologize. He's a little... odd. And he does tend to get obsessive; I've had to apologize to various Suicunes about him.
1/2
[ ... Okay, he can't help smiling excitedly at Gengar. And then he'll stand next to you, so that his shadow mixes with yours. Hey Gengar, can you get into his shadow, too? ]
Well, I only got to talk to him once... But he was kinda fun! And kinda cool. I never saw him again since then, though.
2/2
W-Wait, you mean you've met Suicune?!
no subject
Trust me, it surprised the heck out of me when I first met one, too. I've just been here long enough to sort of adjust to it.
no subject
So, um... What legendaries have you met?
[ Well, I guess that question is more like a masked "Have you met a Ho-Oh around here?". ]
