40 days till Halloween [Action for Goldenrod]

[quickattackjack]

DENNIS, COME OUT!

<sub>[Equipped with goggles, a coat, and a big ass blue fishmonster, Jack searches the streets of Goldenrod for anyone who might need help. The Gyarados slithers behind him in the waist-high sludge and rumbled loudly, complaining about the smell.]

[It's evening and with the lights out, the town takes on an eerie, almost familiar look. Dying sunlight glistens off the trash-filled water. They had ventured out in a short lull between storms.]</sub>

Sort of looks like the swamps back home...wish you could have seen them, Dennis, you would have liked them.

[Luke is riding through the muck on the back of a Lapras when he spots Jack.]

Hello sir!

[quickattackjack]

Ahoy there!

_{[The ex-skeleton waves and beckons Dennis to follow him as he wades towards Luke.]}

[hintcoinplz]

Are you out here looking for other people too?

[quickattackjack]

I am! Haven't found anyone though, thank goodness.

_{[No news was good news! He just hoped that no shouting people meant nobody drowned in four feet of water and undetectable 8I]}

[hintcoinplz]

I found one person! I hope everyone else managed to find higher ground.

[quickattackjack]

Same! I'm glad you were able to help them out. What I'm worried about is folks under the water...but I don't think people here can drown.

[hintcoinplz]

...Oh gosh! I didn't even think about that.

[He fumbles with the some of the Pokeballs he brought with him.]

Drat, I really need to catch more water Pokemon for jobs like these.

[quickattackjack]

It certainly wouldn't hurt. I've just got Dennis here.

[hintcoinplz]

It'd certainly help in situations like this, that's for certain.

[quickattackjack]

I work at the Breeding Centre. I bet we could set you up with something!

[hintcoinplz]

You would?! That would be great!

[Yuugi's floating overhead, retreating back to the town edge before the storm starts up again, after a quick check for people below.

But he glances down at the yelling, wondering who Dennis is, before he calls down to the distant form of Jack.]

You alright down there?!

[quickattackjack]

_{[Jack looks around before finally spotting Yuugi. He waves.]}

We're good! What can you see from up there?

[kingofgamecorner]

Not a lot- It's getting too dark!

[He looks around a second before floating down closer to Jack, to cut back on the yelling.]

I thought I heard you calling for someone.

[quickattackjack]

Oh, I was just scolding Dennis...but I haven't actually found anyone so far. I should be grateful for that.

[kingofgamecorner]

Oh- Phew, that's good. I thought we got mostly everybody out of town or to the Center before it got too dark...

But uh.

Who's Dennis?

[quickattackjack]

_{[He pats the big blue monster fish.]}

My gyaradose here.

[kingofgamecorner]

Oh! Well that follows... [And he feels silly for not realizing sooner.

But, after eying the water level that might near cover him if he dropped into it, Yuugi asks-]

Do you think there's anything left here worth salvaging? Most anything I saw floating was a lost cause.

[quickattackjack]

_{[He shrugs broadly.]}

I've just been looking for people or hurt pokemon. Everything else can be replaced.

[kingofgamecorner]

True, but now it looks like most are out of trouble... It might help out someone out, if I can find some extra supplies, or not.

[Unfortunately, the department store looks ransacked, so...]

[quickattackjack]

I hadn't thought about that. I'll look with you!

[kingofgamecorner]

Hey thanks!

Any ideas where to look? I was just thinking two story shops or something, or maybe trees, since something might've gotten caught when the water was higher.

[quickattackjack]

Any shops above water would be my first idea...what about the hospital?

[kingofgamecorner]

-there's a hospital?

[He lives in this city, what has he missed?!]

All I know about is the Pokemon Center.

[quickattackjack]

Hospital...pokemon center... _{[He shrugs.]} A helpful place has to have things we could use.

[ While her Dragonite can't really take to the air too well right now, he's still tall enough to trek through the sludge without losing his trainer. Since she's short, it would be all too dangerous for her to, so instead she'll be latched on the back of his neck up above his spanned out wings, looking for people. It doesn't take the pair long to spot Jack. ]

Well met, Jack! [ She calls out as the Dragonite hobbles over. ] Do you need aid?

Re: action;

[quickattackjack]

Ahoy there! No trouble here-- I actually haven't found anyone who needs help yet. I hope it stays that way.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

I hope so as well. Many were wise to take shelter during this time.

[ Herself included. ]

You do not intend to drag those clothes into the house, do you?

Re: action;

[quickattackjack]

Well I...yes?

_{[He held his arms out and looked at them. He was soaked through to the bone--about the only way he was really used to being soaked.]}
