{RP} The S.S. Wishmaker - Tides of Witchcraft

[Neo Emolga]

The Diamond Ladies
Central Park (Poke Park)
Affected RPers: @Chakramaster

Before Jirachi had arrived, the Ladies tried to think of how exactly they wanted to handle this. It was a unique and new kind of predicament unlike anything they had ever been in before, but to get through to Jirachi, Cassandra just felt they needed to think like him. Play, be playful, be creative, don’t take things seriously. As if they were young kids again.

“Bun-eary…” (“Uh, yeah, I don’t even know what kind of game Jirachi would want to play.) Jarena shrugged and smiled bashfully. “Bun-eary? Bunn…” (“Hockey, baseball…? Yeah, we don’t even have the gear for that.”)

“Eev-vee-vee,” (“Nah, it doesn’t need to be anything formal like that.”) Cassandra smiled, casually brushing it off with her paw. “Eee-veee…” (“Think back to recess when you were just a kid. Invent a game, make up rules as you go along, then break them anyway.”)

“Furr-rett,” (“Been a while since those days…”) Violet remarked, looking off as she tried to reminisce back to when she was just a young girl. “Furr-ret…” (“I’ll follow your lead…”)

Cassandra was confident she had a good idea of what kind of play Jirachi wanted. She figured Jarena would catch on quickly, and while she assumed Violet was probably thinking too hard on it and trying to structure something intricate, Cassandra decided something sporadic and spur of the moment in style might be more effective and would be exactly the kind of thing Jirachi was looking for.

And then a voice called out to them.

“Pi-pika?” (Hey, that you Cass, Violet, Jarena?”) Jimmy had called out to them. “Pika-pi-kachu!” (“I'm...sorry he's causing so much trouble for everyone. We've gotta make it back to Jirachi and the others!”)

Cassandra figured it was probably too late for that, and she hadn’t remembered the path from Central Park’s PokéPark playground to where the LZ Safe Room was. But rather then try to go to Jirachi, she had a feeling Jirachi would…

“No need!” he called out, floating in front of them. “I am here! I even got a few others connected to everyone here. I felt how strongly they wanted to have fun too! So I added a little extra of my power to bring them along to have fun too! Not everyone may have wanted to be a Pokémon as strongly as others, but they're here all the same! Yay! Finally! Play time! Fun time! hahahaha!”

“Bunearryyyy…” (“Yep, he’s definitely very lively.”) Jarena giggled, covering her mouth with her Buneary paw.

While Jimmy chatted with Jirachi with a one-on-one, out of the corner of her eye, Cassandra had noticed a Minccino, lying face-down only a short distance away from her. She had approached her, having a feeling she knew exactly who it was. Meanwhile, Jarena and Violet had gathered around, having the same feeling.

“Min-cii…” (“I swear I’ve never taking another job like this ever again…”) Sami grumbled, looking up to see she was surrounded by other Pokémon… as she realized she was now a Pokémon herself.

“Eev-vee-vee,” (“Hey, Sami, welcome to the party.”) Cassandra told her with a smirk, having a good idea of what she was thinking right now, but assuring Sami that she had a good idea of how to handle this unusual situation. “Vee-veee…” (“This is going to sound crazy, but just play along with the shenanigans.”)

“Min-cici-no…?” (“Are you kidding, why should we do that?”) Sami asked, unconsciously waving her new brush-like tail. “Minci…!” (“Look at what delinquent did to us! Please tell me your crazy witch magic can undo this!”

“Bunearyyy…” (“Probably not.”) Jarena smiled, shrugging as she knew this kind of transformation wasn’t a hex-based affliction.

Sami had just sighed, rolling her eyes before slouching with her eyelids drooping. She had then looked over to Jirachi and Jimmy having a conversation about friends and Jimmy’s Pikachu.

“Minci-no…?” (“Okay, so what exactly is your plan to handle this pest?”) Sami asked.

“Eve-vee-vee…” (It’s not complicated…”) Cassandra explained. “Eeve-vee…” (“Jirachi’s a bit wild and childish. We know that. Thing is, we owe him big time. He helped wish away our massive debt only to be criticized for it. Meanwhile, he’s been wanting some playtime for dozens of hours only to be told it would come later over and over and it never did. Even though he did some amazing favors for people, including us. And then when we were bickering over that whole plan to get ‘Karma’ and how best to do it…”)

“Mini-ci…” (“Yeah, I see what you’re getting at.”) Sami nodded, looking over to Jirachi. “Min-Minccinoo…?” (“It got ugly down there and I was barely even involved. So you think giving Jirachi the playtime he wants might get him to cool off a bit?”)

Cassandra had nodded, thinking she might have the answer. But before she could reply to Sami, she heard Jirachi giggling as he flew over to them.

“Yay!” Jirachi cheered with a giggle, tugging playfully with Cassandra’s Eevee ears. “You're back to being Pokémon! Isn't it great?! Let's have some fun! Fun fun!”

“Ee-vee-vee!” (“Hey there, those are my ears!”) Cassandra shouted back at him, smiling mischievously to play along with the antics. “Ee-vee-e? Veeee…!” (“Well, guess what, Twinkle? You just got yourself into a world of trouble!”)

“Bun-earry…!” (“No one messes with the Ladies!”) Jarena laughed, following Cassandra’s lead. “Bunearyy!” (“And you know what rhymes with ‘trouble?’”)

Then, Jarena had cast a simple Shadowcraft spell, suddenly encasing Jirachi in a giant, squishy bubble. She knew it might be a bit tricky to break out of, but overall, it would be harmless fun for him to try.

“Min-cino!” (“Oh my god, you guys…!”) Sami exclaimed, nearly laughing at the sight of what they had just done to Jirachi.

Meanwhile, Violet had looked upon them, slyly smirking at the ruckus that was unfolding. While it was very childish behavior, even she felt poking a little playful mischievous fun at Jirachi might be enjoyable for a while. And now she was curious to see if they could actually wear him out and outplay him. She began to see it as a challenge.

“Fur-rett,” (“Tsk-tsk, Jirachi, you know what getting bubbled does,” Violet shook her head derisively in a playful, scheming manner. “Furrett…” (“That gives us five-hundred Cool Points while you have… zero. That’s uncool, Jirachi. What are all your fans going to think?”)

“Bun-eary!” (“Your fans are gonna be our fans!”) Jarena teased him with an impish smile. “Bun-buneary!” (“And you’ll just have… a bubble. Ha ha ha!”)

Even Sami couldn’t help but giggle at the silliness. She had to admit, this was a very interesting and unusual way of dealing with what could have been a problem, but she was curious to see how it was all going to go. And she had to admit, that childlike desire to get in on this mischief was suddenly seizing her, too…
