The Squawkers RPG - The Main Action and Team Status Thread of Candy Madness! [NOW LIVE AND INSANE!]

[Bulbasaur]

Will do some working out.

[VeloJello]

Ungh... tonight, I'm going to run myself through some Parkour. So much for my typing being a saving grace.

For now, time for some random interviewing.

Interview 41 Snorkle the Delphox.

[Neo Emolga]

Well I have a hunch...I need to search here next!

(53a) Floors 1-4 of the There Is No Pink Flamingo Pokémon Hotel

You head outside to check fun things out around town and aww, it's raining! And not just any kind of rain!

Soren has gained 1 point of Belly from the Chocolate Rain!

It's delicious!

So you make it to the There is No Pink Flamingo Pokémon Hotel and you're dripping wet, looking like a chocolate-dipped, rainbow-butted Pikachu. Hey, be proud and take a bow, you're probably the first Pikachu ever to accomplish such a feat!

You decide to head inside and it looks like the whole hotel was meant to be themed around this pink flamingo Pokémon, but instead, there's only... placeholders. Blank silhouettes where a Pokémon should be. It's weird. What's even worse is there's an animated buffering icon just spinning... spinning... spinning at every instance of these silhouettes! This is horrifying! Even this makes you long for a pink flamingo Pokémon so they can just put an end to this madness! But in the meantime, you take a dip in the pool and forget you were covered in chocolate, and now you've disrupted the pH balance. You're winner!

You head to the second floors where the rooms are and there's more of these just terrible buffering silhouettes. You find most of the rooms are locked and those that aren't have someone making the room. You pop in and say hi anyway!

You get to the third floor and you find something interesting in one of the ash trays! It's like a weird, sparkly blue powder and you try picking some of it up wonder if it's like some magical sand or...

Soren has gained 3 points of Overwhelming Cuteness from the Extra Shiny Sparkly Essence!

Oh... dear.

Suddenly you feel really adorable and extra Pika-cute. You try and it's really not rubbing off too well. Ouch. You decide to take a laundry bag to gather up this unusual fairy dust. And it's weird because it's blue with little yellow stars. I wonder what that's about.

#[Fairy Dust of the European Union] Extra Shiny Sparkly Essence! - FAIRY (+3 Overwhelming Cuteness)# has been added to the Team Pile!

You decide to check out the rest of these floors, but you don't find any more crazy fairy dust, which might be a good thing. But really, you're CERTAIN this stuff has to have some kind of use to it! Well, beyond making you look so goofily cute. Really!

Well, after a little more searching, you decide to head back to Peep Base just in case someone else wants to try some of this!

Hm...I'll search (37) Bouncing Bunny Shopping Mall - (37) Exterior

It's a wonderful day for letting your tongue hang out and getting chocolate all over your faaaccceeee!!

Carly has gained 1 point of Belly from the Chocolate Rain!

Now why would anyone turn down free candy?

You decide to check out the exterior of the Bouncing Bunny Shopping Mall, where there's quite a lot of cars and shoppers and even they're enjoying the rain, though this is probably detrimental in the overall way of things. But at least it's tasty!

You head toward the loading dock and you find a rather interesting looking cabinet, protected by Master Schlock! I mean seriously, the security on this thing is kind of ridiculous. There's gizmos, gadgets, lasers, and some other dohickey thing. You're beginning to wonder if it already knows what your favorite color is.

{Master Schlock Security Cabinet: <Hollywood Shenanigans> OR +Ghost Type+}

I mean you could try burning it, but that would probably set some alarms off. And though you're not exactly fearful of what the Booplesnoot police department would do to you given their rather silly track record, you still wouldn't rather go through the process of dealing with them. Better to come back with someone who can... make their way around this thing.

You decide to check out the rest of the mall's exterior, but you don't really find anything before just a lot more cars enjoying the clearance sales the mall has going on, as if it's the end of the world coming up! Well, it kinda is, just with a lot more candy involved.

I'll take the day to workout. The belly's getting a little too full for comfort.

Fluffy stuff and bulging guts are so not your thing, so you're pumping iron and going cardio-crazy for a fun and frantic workout to burn that sugar and shatter those calories!

Madder has dropped 2 points of Belly and 2 points of Overwhelming Cuteness!

Oh, that feels a hell of a lot better. You flex out and feel extra hardcore now. Rock those muscles!

You feel Madder has the right idea. Get those biceps and triceps truckin'! You want to make the aftermath of that sherbet nonsense stop existing and you know running and pumping and doing the Arnold peck decks will make you more badass, so you have at it!

Eddie has dropped 2 points of Belly and 2 points of Overwhelming Cuteness!

You're getting better, man! You definitely feel a lot of that gut is gone and though it might have a bit more to go, you're making a heck of a lot of nice progress. Chew on that, Squawkers!

Ungh... tonight, I'm going to run myself through some Parkour. So much for my typing being a saving grace.

For now, time for some random interviewing.

Interview 41 Snorkle the Delphox.

You head outside and... oh geez.

Velo has gained 1 point of Belly from the Chocolate Rain!

So delicious and you lick it off your face like a kid at the candy store. But after snapping back to your senses, you look down, pat your bulging Lugia belly, and it feels like it's starting to become a worrisome situation...

Interview Rapport: POSITIVE
+1 Shared Pokémon Type (Psychic)

You find Snorkle the Delphox working at Warget where she's a cashier. Just as she gets off of her shift, you greet her and she looks up at you with the goofiest, seemingly happiest smile. The fiery fox dances at you as a greeting.

"Wow, oh, hey there!" Snorkle greets you happily. "I think you're the biggest customer I've ever had! Soooo cooooool!"

You nod, introduce yourself, and ask Snorkle what she knows about the Squawkers and if she's seen anything unusual or weird lately. Well, more weird than the standard weird.

"Oh, it's my daughter, Dinkle!" Snorkle tells you, looking concerned, but only for a moment. "She found this really weird coin! And it's cute, but funny, but weird, and I don't get it! It has a cute but angry Lillipup on it! And ever since Dinkle found it, I think it's having some weird effect on her. I mean, she's just the cutest little honey bun, but it's having an even odder it's-just-making-her-cuter effect on her! I don't know if that's healthy!"

"You've got to convince her to part with it!" Snorkle pleads. "Because, well, even though school's out, she just wants to play with it and doesn't want me to home-school her! I can't allow that! She'll grow up not knowing how to add apples and play the trombone! Listen, Dinkle really loves silly, dank memes. Maybe that'll work!?"

"Oh, you should totally check out our clothing section!" Snorkle tells you. "We've got EEVEE ONESIES for sale and not even Tal-Mart has that! Screw Tal-Mart! They're LAAAAMEE! But yes, buy more Eevee Onesies! I mean, there's nothing more hilarious than a Pokémon pretending to be another Pokémon! I mean, just the other say I saw a Zorua with one of those Eevee onesies! It was the most adorable thing! They're a bit pricey, but they're so cute. I think we have them even in YOUR size! Imagine a giant Lugia like you, all cute and dressed up as an Eevee! Oooh, just the thought of that makes me so happy I could squeak!"

You nod, not really sure about the whole idea, but you hear her out anyway.

"Oh, it's really hard to figure out who might be a Squawker!" Snorkle tells you. "But I'm beginning to think this 'Al' Pokémon are mentioning might be one of them! These riddles are turning up everywhere, but I think they're all connected and Al is trying to play games on everyone! That's cruel! Al could be walking and listening in on us and we wouldn't know! HEY AL, IF YOU'RE LISTENING, KNOCK IT OFF, YOU FRUITCAKE!"

"Oh darn, breaks over!" Snorkle cries, realizing she needs to clock in again. "Well, it was nice meeting you, Velo! You're such a sweet and lovable Lugia! Don't be a stranger, and really, buy one of those Eevee onesies! S P E N D M O N E Y!"

She then heads back to her register, wearing the silliest and goofiest smile as she waits for her next customer..

Gonna go to the game store and see if I can get that new preorder...

[Neo Emolga]

I'll go and investigate (1) The Booplesnoot Times Newspaper Headquarters

You don't have an umbrella, so...!

Dio has gained 1 point of Belly from the Chocolate Rain!

It is delicious, though!

You decide to head over to the Booplesnoot Times Newspaper Headquarters, where yes, Virginia, they still print newspapers even though the magic of the internet has been trying its darnest to destroy them! Thankfully, Booplesnoot Times publishes both versions, so they'll still be here regardless of whatever dastardly deeds the internet is up to next!

You start by searching the outside of the building, which you find doesn't have much besides some cars, walls, windows, lots of chocolate puddles, and an old kazoo that looks like some kid had abandoned it seven years ago when it no longer could provide a sustainable level of entertainment for said over-privileged child. Shame! Shame! Shame!

You head inside and you find the building is divided into two areas, the printing press area and the office area where the journalists type up all these silly stories on computers, like how one Persian found a tomato that was shaped like a butt and how some critics argue that some food is bad for you. You find out that they use a randomizer table to make that determination and then another program to generate those falsified study statistics! How devious and clever!

You find there's a fascinating office supply closet in the hallway, and you try to look inside to see if there's any extra notebooks and pens that no one will ever notice missing. Because you love collecting pens and more notebooks than you'll ever need in life! You grab the handle, give it a mighty tug, but aww, but it's locked! Why!?

{Office Supply Closet: +Fire Type+}

Welp, looks like someone's going to need to burn that thing open!

You check out the printing presses and yep, as you suspected, lots of noise, lots of paper, lots of machines, and a funny, inky smell. Meanwhile, there's another machine that inserts the freshly-printed newspapers into a plastic bag whenever the weather is bleh. Like today, although you're quite sure they weren't expecting rain made of chocolate today.

You decide to head back to Peep base! And take a little shower as well. Or do you take baths? We at Neo Emolga Inc have no idea, but we'll just assume you shower for now. And that you like to sing Disney songs in there as well. ♪Let it gooo... let it gooo...♬
