I suppose this is good timing for a port, considering the first day of it is my birthday. It'll be nice getting off the ship and exploring some. Maybe I'll even catch some Pokemon.

[Ray Palmer]
Would you be interested in exploring with me?

[info]nosuitnoservice

I knew I had this somewhere. Pokedex, Alola edition.

[ooc: A limited version of the Pokedex that doesn't include exact location data, just the island groupings]

I doubt we'll be able to catch all of those. The first nine are the starters and their evolutions and in the game you can only choose one set of those. At the end of the list are legendaries and they're incredibly difficult to find and catch. I'd assume we can rule any of those out. The rest, I don't know.


For everyone who doesn't have a clue what we're going on about, Pokemon are... in some ways an equivalent to animals, but broader than that. I think the game concept actually came from insect collecting. The idea of the games is to try to collect every kind of Pokemon by catching wild ones, evolving the ones you have through training and using items, and trading with other people. You can also put Pokemon in battles against other trainers, which sounds like those underground dog fighting rings but supposedly Pokemon enjoy it and it's definitely a lot more regulated. A Pokemon can only know four skills, fights end when one is knocked out, and they're easy to heal at Pokecenters which are free for trainers to use and located in almost every town and city. As well as fighting there are other things like beauty and talent shows, so it's not all horribly violent. The different types partly determine what they're strong and weak against in battles and also to some extent where you can find them. Water Pokemon, obviously you'll want to look in the sea, rivers, lakes. Rock Pokemon in the mountains, grass Pokemon in fields, fire Pokemon I'd probably head to the volcano.

Or you can just ignore the Pokemon and do the standard tourist-y things like the dinosaur park and resort.

[info]yellowpaladin

You think they have dog Pokemon here? Because that would be awesome. I wouldn't mind getting one of those.

Want to go exploring with me in this new port a little bit?

So, I legit get that a lot of people are feeling really shitty right about now, and the ship is kinda lame in both senses of the word. But I'm kinda feeling like distractions might be good for the masses. And because I cannot with my suite mate right now

That said, what activities are still functional? Can anyone tell? That symposium room is totally big enough we could make it a mini-movie theatre for like a night if anyone could set up projection stuff. Anyone up for light-hearted mindless movies that mean people around but not talking?

Help me out here it's too much like.

[Filter: No one named Baelfire or Neal Cassidy allowed.]

So I got this bean. Apparently beans take you to the cool places you can't normally get to. Long story. I had to pretend to be a bear for this little guy with a beard. Whatever.

Anyway, apparently I don't know if it's going to take me to a cool place or the cool place. So, if anyone else gets a bean, want to check some places out?

I'm pretty legit and haven't been in a good fight in a while. So. If you need protection or whatever...

I think I'm going to start wearing a hat. Just to change things up a bit. Need to decide which one, though.

Not a fez. And not one of those cowboy hats.

God, I'm bored. I wish the TARDIS was here.

I guess I can't have the monopoly on death, but at least no one else can say they're a ghost. So at least I have something. I also have a picture of Ronan in an ugly hat, so that's two somethings. Also welcome new people.

Want to see if we can trick a group of people into a room and sing the Murder Squash Song to them? We can pretend it's part of the welcome adventure.

So it might be prudent to add something about how to avoid the brig to the information pamphlet. Anything it should cover aside from the mostly-obvious "no shooting things", "no fighting (including sparring)", "no breaking into secure areas" and "no destruction of public property"?

So first of all, what the fuckrench toast. Secondly, why would you yank a guy to another dimension in the midst of eating breakfast? Most important meal of the day? Unacceptable.

Anyone have any recommendations on what to do while we're here? Pizza was my biggest thing, tbh.

Okay, so I have the sexiest looking filing structure program you've ever seen ready to convert your library files into plain text and file them according to subject matter and whatever parameters you want to set up.

We can set it to auto-sort your Atlantis files from that external hard drive and I have a portable version that we can take with us when we start hitting up whatever libraries you have on your list for Middle Earth. It saves you a step by scanning and sorting all at once.

FELLOWSHIP OF THE PIZZA!

We failed in finding our prize, but we are not defeated. WE HAVE ALL THAT WE NEED TO MAKE AN EXCELLENT PIE. So now we head to the Shire to become their new Overlords.

"Water, water, everywhere..."

Tragically, all my lofty goals and ambitions have been put on hold and there's only so much karaoke you can do (sorry, not sorry Rick).

Who's up for a game of ship wide Assassin? We can figure out "weapons" and safe zones/times based on who signs up.

ETA: • Say you're in if you want in.
• Weapons TBD: Nerf guns and stuffed animals so far. Paintball grenades (thank Sabine). No water!
• No powers, exceptions made for awesome. (Ask Ianto.)
• Safe zones: School, patrols, cabins (duh).

Party tonight! Where at? Cabin 309 with River and I, though we may move it elsewhere, depending on how rowdy we get. Jack wouldn't want us moping around that he's gone. Besides, if he's been here twice before, then it's possible he'll return.

Well I have put together a new information pamphlet for new arrivals, but since it's the medbay robots dealing with them instead of the military and our own representatives delivery might be a little spotty. Hopefully people will get them, but we'll see.

That was five beeps, right? I checked there was no one new so that means they're all disappearances. It might be easier to comment here if you notice someone missing rather than make half a dozen new posts about it.

HELLO ALL.

Please check in here to let your friends and family you're safe when you get the chance. And if you know if someone is out there fighting, try to check in for them here and let us know where they might be so we can have our ambulances circle around there periodically.

If you are acting as an ambulance, let us know here so we know who to depend on. If you're working in triage, let us know. And if you require assistance, say so. And as Ianto pointed out, this isn't just for medical assistance. If you need a fighter to your location, say so.

IANTO? Am I missing anything, man?

We don't know for sure if'n anything is actually happening but it's better to be prepared than not.

If something does end up going down, there's a community center in the middle of town that can hold families and any other non combatants. We'll get a portal set up from the ship to it. And we'll need some people to sign up to help defend it.

Hopefully this is all paranoia, but let me know if you're gonna be heading there if something happens or if you want to help defend it.

I suppose the shot and relatively short quarantine arrangement is an improvement to the last time when nearly half of us got the space flu.

Since we're talking about emergency plans, a message for the tech geeks. Dr Aphra and Ezekiel Jones are discussing a command centre to handle communications - both alerting everyone to emergencies and making sure no one gets cut off during an active situation. I'll also be there to keep track of the information we receive and assign tasks to mobile response units so we don't get some things being forgotten while too many people go somewhere else and I believe Charles will be with us as a telepath. If anyone has hardware or skills that would help, they're the two to talk to.

Personally speaking, I can work with a whiteboard or pencil and paper if I have to but coding an interactive map of the ship I can manipulate on a tablet would be more effective. I can do it myself but I know we have some coders around who might be able to do a better job.

Incidentally the Coffee Bar is actually ridiculously good. Let's not have aliens steal all our coffee this time.

I really do hope my future in this new future has less needles going forward. That was unpleasant.

My name is Napoleon Solo and, while all of this is marvelous and fascinating in all of its aspects, I'm quite eager to locate my associate, Gabriella Teller, before I start asking more questions. I'm told she is here as well. She is approximately 5'5", brunette, brown eyes, impeccable fashion choices, stubborn, and bossy.

It's very likely she has punched someone by now and if that someone is you, well, I'm sure you deserved it.
