: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! ))

FINALLY /INSERT HAPPY EMOTE HERE
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. ]
Should that be the awesome emote instead?
Woah!
[Careful, Morty, she appeared quite close by to yourself.]
Mayhaps. I was thinking something along the lines of CRYING HAPPY TEARS though oh god PD is alive
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!
Would you like a tissue for those happy tears?
Oh! It's okay, I'm sorry too! I had no idea that that would happen!
Yes. Yes I would /sniffle
... What would happen? And, um, are you okay?
[ He did notice that stagger. ]
/HANDS OVER FOURTEEN DELUXE BOXES
I saw one of these, exactly like it, in the city. I was curious and went to investigate; I would never have imagined of it sending me back here! [A beat.] I guess I have a lot to learn about this place.
... THAT'S A LOT OF TISSUES, WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM
... Wait a second, "a lot to learn about this place"? ]
Wow, I didn't know those work like this, either. But, um... Are you new here?
MAKE ORIGAMI HO-OHS?
How about yourself? Have you been here long, or not long at all?
/MAKES AN ARMY OF ORIGAMI HO-OHS
[ He's pretty sure there IS something interesting in the city, but it never hurts to make sure. ]
They be purty
[Or it could have been an eighth as Rui's sense of direction is zip.
Then she twigs;] Oh! I've not introduced myself to you yet. Name's Rui!
I am going to take over Johto now
[ Grin! He sure is looking forward to exploring it. ]
Oh-- Nice to meet you, Rui! I'm Morty.
[ HANDSHAKE Y/Y. Somehow he has this weird habit of starting conversations with people and even becoming friends with them without even asking them their names/telling them his, so it's a good thing you remembered to introduce yourself. ]
Dem stupid sexy Rocket Executives will have nothing on you!
[It takes Rui a moment or two to register what is happening to begin with; handshakes? In Orre? You must be joking!
Once she is clued up? HANDSHAKE TOTALLY Y.]
they'll be too busy being stupid and sexy anyway 8)
Anyway, what's wrong with handshakes? Do you guys do it differently in your "Orre"? ]
So, uh... If you've seen the city already, do you mind showing me around a bit? It's okay if you're tired though.
no subject
Of course, she's still tired, so there is a bit of a lag. But she's waving!]
no subject
Anyway, have an unsure wave back! Maybe he's met you before and just doesn't remember? ]
Hi there.
no subject
no subject
Morty. Nice to meet you.
[ Aaand he extends his hand for a handshake. ]
And you are?..
no subject
no subject
DID SOMEBODY SAY TRAINER ]
You could say so! Are you one, too?
no subject
Hey, I didn't say her team was normal.] These are my friends! They're all pretty strong.
no subject
He takes a step back involuntarily, due to the surprise, and looks your team over. Apart from the quantity... ]
I've never seen any of these Pokemon before! Where did you-
[ And he adds after a little pause, a bit perplexedly, as the idea strikes him ]
... Another region?
no subject
[Which is totally a thing don't you know?
But she never imagined she'd meet so many people from different regions!
even if she's meant to be with a kantoian in her world]no subject
actually what are all those things you're talking about ]
... Um, no. I'm from Johto. I think I've met a couple of people from other regions around here, too, but none of them were from... Unova. I've never really heard about it, either.
no subject
[ohmygosh
johto is pretty close to the battle frontier
and it's where some cool legendaries used in said frontiers come from
a-and it's where /they/ went on their journey--
Okay, so Cecilia might have a soft spot for Johto.]
Wow, that's pretty cool! Hey, do you have your team on you?
no subject
Hehe, you think so? And yeah, they must be around here somewhere.
[ And he glances over his shoulder and makes a little inviting gesture, as if asking someone to come closer. And here they are, his Misdreavus and Gastly, looking like they've been here all along. Morty pets his Misdreavus quickly and for Gastly there is a movement of Morty's hand that would count as petting if Gastly wasn't, well, a ball of gas. You can't really touch those.
He returns his attention to you and smiles a bit shyly. ]
Here they are. I've only got two Pokemon, though, but I've never really needed more anyway.
