[Haru had either been working at the sandwich shop, bounty hunting or staying at home and consistently trying to get her friend out of her bedroom, which... right now seemed impossible and it upset her. She couldn't ask her friends because they were nowhere to be found, or at least she wasn't exactly sure of where they were.

Never the less she tried to do her best given the situation and as she looked at the clock in her room it slowly dawned on her that it was the 5th today? Her birthday. Her 18th to be exact. She always figured it would be something to be happy and excited over and instead she just found it to be another day. Nothing special. She had to keep a brave face on and go about the day as any other.

She had made sure to at least leave food in front of Futaba's bedroom in attempts to get her to come up so she could catch her. But it also gave her an idea of maybe perhaps... Attempting to ask, even if she felt like that wouldn't really be all that helpful.

She carefully switches on the feed, turning the feed to show the look of concern that was clear on her features.]

I am at least aware that strange things are going on right now but... How does one deal with a situation where someone is simply not leaving there room at all? I admit the person who won't leave there room... Is not the best at social situations, but they at least left there room before.

[She slowly starts to fidgit, she really was getting bothered by the situation. Bothered because she had no idea what to do and it worried at the same time.]

I... hadn't planned to ask for help because... I am not sure that people can help. But I figured it's better than just sitting here and worrying, either.

[She looked down slightly.]

This certainlly is some birthday.

WHO: (Not) Professor Sycamore and YOU!
WHERE: Genessia City and Nova City
WHEN: December 3 - 9
WHAT: (AU event) What if Augustine Sycamore didn't become a Pokemon Professor, but remained a Pokemon trainer?
WARNINGS: Nothing so far.

[Action/Solo] Changed

[It was a fine winter day in Genessia and Professor Sycamore can't help but admire the snowflakes all around him. The last time he saw these was when he was started living in this strange world. And just staring at them was enough to warm his heart.

Though it wasn't enough to convince him to relax as he turned his attention to the strange mask when he rummaged through his belongings inside his bag before he heads out for work. He never saw it before and he was certain that this wasn't his's. Being a curious man as he is, he slowly takes a closer look at it. Instead, it suddenly attaches itself to the poor professor's face. He tries to pull it out, but the mask's magic began to rewrite his own identity before it disappears.

What it left was Sycamore still have his eyes widened and frozen in shock. But when he came to, he stares at his bag, which his expression turned into confusion when he saw the contents.]

Strange... Why am I still standing around here?

[Why indeed. But that's not the only thing that was noticeable. In fact, he takes one good look at his watch and gasps in shock.]

Mon Dieu! Look what time it is! I have to go before they will forget their daily training session.

[With that, he dashes off through the door with his bag, heading off to training.

Wait, what?!]

( Holographic Training )

[OOC: So long story short, Professor Sycamore is no longer a Pokemon Professor for the event. Instead, he is just an experienced Pokemon trainer who tends to get confident and a little arrogant due to his complete use of Mega Evolution.

Also note that in his AU backstory, he owned a Charizard, Chesnaught, Aegislash, and Sylveon along with Garchomp and he won a League Conference in his AU past. So expect him to mention his 'previous' Pokemon several times in this event.]

[Video]

[Much like the other bizarre incidents going on as of late with the residents of Genessia, it's not hard for those who may know Gale to notice something's amiss. The biggest giveaway is the fact that there is no visible gray synthetic skin or blue glowing marks on his neck or face- it appeared the man was no longer a cyborg, and as far as he was concerned, he never was one in the first place.]

... while it was quite considerate of whatever Powers That Be to help decorate not only my home, but also my businesses for the upcoming holiday, I would have greatly appreciated it if they had chosen to decorate for a holiday I actually celebrate.

[As anyone could easily see behind him, the penthouse halls seemed to be sufficiently decked, and even the AI system seems to be humming a carol, much to Gale's annoyance. Not to mention the "Yay Family" vibes the holiday seems to emit only rubs salt into the wound for him, as his sisters were no where to be found.]

I also had to go around and move some of the lower decorations because Gunner was getting far too interested in biting at them. I don't want him to be hurt because this place was so painfully negligent.

[He seems to jump a bit as he hears the thud of something getting knocked over behind him. He quickly turns to look over his shoulder only to see his Aerodactyl wandering around, which eases his sudden tension.] Careful, buddy, I know you're not used to being indoors. It's only until the weather gets warmer.

[Thank goodness the noise was just Aerodactyl. Even in his time in Genessia, he couldn't calm his nerves at night. He sighs a bit.]

... that said, some weird decoration placement happened in front of Holy Diver. What in blazes is with these statues of people kneeling around some kid? Even the animals are kneeling.

[He's very obviously talking about a nativity scene, which is something that probably needs to go before the current "incident" comes to an end.]


( OTA Action Prompts; December 2nd - 9th )

[ Here's a new face for all of you. Just this young man, sitting cross-legged on a wall with his hands tugged into the large sleeves of his dark cloak that is generously pooling around him. His phone? Is either propped up somewhere or plain floating in mid-air, but details.

At least he looks cheerful enough. ]

Hey.

[ He nods once. ]

My name's Anakin Skywalker. I'm a Jedi Knight and General in the Grand Army of the Republic. And while I guess that this doesn't mean anything here, the latter may be explanation enough for why I'm not too happy with being here.

You see, there's a war going on back in my galaxy and I'd rather be with my men than sitting around on some forced vacation.

I'm not getting much of a say in this as it seems, however.

[ Anakin's expression relaxes and he looks down to where his hands come free from where they have been tugged away. The money he has been given rests within his fingers and he gives it a contemplative look. ]

I was told I'd need a job and a place to stay, but being a Jedi I'm not allowed possession. Including money. I don't mind working. I'm good with droids, building and fixing things. But I wonder if it's possible to just work in exchange for a place to stay rather than material pay.

[In the center of the arena, Karla stands with her sword at her side, another fallen opponent lay motionless at her feet. She stares down at him, her face lacking its usual warmth. Rather, her expression is colder than ice, showing no remorse for taking down her opponent in one strike, not caring if he was dead or alive. All she cares about was whether her blade was satisfied. Even now, she could feel the craving for more battle, her blade craving more blood.]

Still nothing. Is there no one with the skill to match my blade's appetite?

[OOC: Just a little warning that she may act creepy. AU description here: https://genessia-ooc.dreamwidth.org/399065.html?thread=6808281#cmt6808281]

[The feed turns on showing Mavis wearing a fancier dress than what she's used to. Her face and body still retain the eternal youth that her curse granted her but her calm expression makes her look somewhat older.

A plain gold band shines on her left ring finger in the weak daylight as she reaches for the gold locket around her neck. It wears this symbol that some may recognize as the Alvarez Empire symbol.

She looks at the snowy land around her and murmurs, a gentle smile on her lips.]

"I wonder if it's been snowing in Alvarez as well, last night. Invel must be happy."

[She takes a few steps down a path and Fairy Haven appears in the distance.]

"It feels almost nostalgic to live here again after so many decades..."

[She brings the locket to her lips and kisses it softly.]

"I miss you, my son. And I know your father does too. But it's comforting to know you'll be looking over the citizens of our empire until we get back home."

[Mavis keeps walking towards Fairy Tail's guild hall. She's taking her time, holding her dress so it won't get dirty. She's not sauntering or running like she usually would. The feed still manages to catch a glimpse of her naked feet. Some things never change.]
