[ Aradia looks way too cheerful when the feed comes on, considering she appears to be outdoors and in the thick of the chaos, happily in the midst of the rampaging fossil-types. A few fossil types seem to be surrounding her protectively, though - two Kabutops and a Carracosta, with two Aerodactyl in the sky.

In light of the event, everyone except her Gengar partner - who can be seen in her shadow, his grin flickering - was changed over to backup, since it seemed more fair to allow the fossil-types to join her in her explorations.

The chaos apparently bothers her not at all. ]

Isn't this fantastic? [ ...like, not a little bit, she's far too excited for that. ] All of them back from the dead...!

It can be a bit confusing, at first. Coming back from the dead, I mean! No wonder they're upset. But more importantly - aren't they fascinating? And that there's that sort of power here, to bring fossils back to life...Of course, Brock did mention the machine he uses in Pewter, but this isn't that. It's the power from one person, right? It's just fantastic.

I haven't ever managed to see some of these in person before today...! Just notes on their fossils in my books, and that sort of thing. [ And she may or may not have been out since midnight last night, when it started. Because...fossils. ] There's so much to learn before it's done!

Oh, if anyone learns anything interesting or sees anything interesting, please do tell me!! I can only watch so much of it at once. [ There's a great deal of noise off to the side, as one of the Kabutops unleashes a water attack on some approaching Kabutos. Aradia looks off to see what happened, and though she looks intrigued, she's still not concerned or upset. Just...really happy. ]

Well, I'd better go. We're helping out, for now, since it means I can explore a bit more and see how the fossil types are reacting...

Ooooh, what's that?

[ And she's out. HAPPILY. Those in Celadon can find her poking around and trying to study the rampaging hordes - or occasionally lending an assist to stopping them, although her pokentourage is more into that then she is. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Aradia doesn't look tired. She's still happily poking around and looking at the chaos around them with a wide grin. John's comment gets her to look back at him, though. ]

Hm...? No, not yet. Besides, I don't want to miss anything! If I go to sleep now, they might all be gone when I wake up...

[Aradia, you are going to stay up for this entire event, aren't you...]

Hahaha, fair enough point, I guess. I mean with Sabrina and Morty working on this, I wouldn't be surprised if they have the fossil zombies laid back to rest by the end of the evening. [Morty~~-senpai~~ is awesome like that.]

So, what did the network have to say? Found out anything ne-- ahh!! [John's Dusknoir suddenly reaches up and grabs hold of the boy with both hands, dodging sharply left to narrowly avoid a badly-aimed energy ball from Slimer the Haunter.] Jesus! [He pats Elliot's "halo".] Thanks but... maybe give a little warning next time, big guy? You nearly made me wet my pants there. And Slimer! [He frowns over at the now-laughing Haunter.] Watch it or you will go right back in the ball, buddy. No more rampant fossil-chaos for you!

[The Haunter scoffs before floating away to go pick on a small gathering of Lileep a little ways away and John turns his attention back to Aradia.]

Anyway, sorry about that. As I was saying, did the network have anything interesting to say about this?

[ MAYBE...

She gives him the most stricken look possible at the thought of this being fixed by evening. Are you trying to break her heart, John Egbert? Because it's working, if so.

She hasn't had enough fossil time! ]

Oh, I hope no - [ And then Slimer's interruption happens, and the sadly horrified look fades to a laugh. Ghosts! Indy's lurking around nearby as well, although he's a gengar at this point and isn't picking on anyone. ...As such. He's scaring them, but that's not the same as energy ball attacks. ]

Let's see...mostly, people seem to be surprised! Kayneth seems annoyed that Sabrina had the power to do this, though. And it seems there are different fossil types in different areas...

I'm kind of surprised she did, to be honest. I mean I get that she's a psychic, but I didn't think dead stuff was really her area of expertise. [A beat.] Then again, given the result of this...

[He's probably said it at least once already but Morty totally wouldn't have screwed up this badly had he been the one doing the seance.] That makes sense though. Different habitats and all. Kind of a bummer though since that means we won't get to see them all...

I didn't, either! This seems more like something...well, along the lines of the dead, like you pointed out.

I don't know about that - at least other people will be catching the other types, or recording footage of them, and if we fly places we might be able to catch sight of some other types...

[ She's way too into this. ]

Haha, yeah! You should have no problem getting eggs for the ones you're missing now! If you don't manage to catch them all wild, that is.

Catching them all wild would give a lot of information...as would raising them on my own! And doing both would give even more! There's so much to learn here...

If I had a lifetime, I'd probably still have more to find out.

Yeah but that's a good thing, don't you think? [He rests his head on his arms on top of his Dusknoir's "halo".] Because where's the fun in knowing everything? It actually sounds kind of boring to me.

I absolutely agree!

Actually...this is really nostalgic. I used to think these things back home, too. Not home as it is now, I mean, but back on Alternia, before I ever really understood that we were going to play the game, or what it was.

Hehe, yeah I figured that's what you meant. [He laughs a little.] Kind of hard to think of the game itself as home. Part of our home universe, sure, but not exactly... home.

I'm not sure I think of a specific place as "home". That place, with my lusus and my hive - I accepted it was gone a long time ago. And the dream bubbles were what I was used to a while ago...

...I think perhaps it just has to do with where everyone else is. I like being around you all.

Hehe, yeah. Home isn't about physical location, really. It's more than the walls that confine you. Home is people. Like... if I were here alone I don't think I would consider this place to be home at all, nice as it is.

I don't know that I would, either. The dream bubbles...there are so many people there. Everyone I've ever known, really.

Here, there's the important people, but not everyone.

For now, at least. One day, we will all be here together again it's only a matter of time. Till then we just have to try and be patient. Which is hard but... unless we can find a way to control who gets brought here, it's about all we can do.

True!! If we could control it...well, that would be something, wouldn't it? A way around things, nearly.
