BNW: Now Renewed for a Second Season!

[bravenewmods]

Announcement time!

First, all the sidequests necessary for the first major expansion of the map have been completed! We've plotted out the next portion of the map, and we're excited to lead you guys onwards into a Brave New World (tm)! We'll also be incorporating the Pokémon votes made previously as suggestions for the new areas that will be unveiled. While we would like to bring this to you guys ASAP, there are some concerns over the fact that the academic school year is rapidly approaching/is already upon us. In light of this, the map expansion as well as our next major plot event is scheduled to happen May 24th, well after most finals should be over!

What this means for the characters is that the strange anomalies coming from the Forest, the High Mountains, the Caverns, and the Iron Mine have been cleared up. The Engineers are now busily working on upgrades to the Warp Band network.

As May 24th seems a fair distance away, we'll be holding another mini-event next week beginning on May 3rd! The Kricketune Theaters have decided to hold a promotion and will shortly announce an open theater production for the trainers and Pokémon of Union! The rules are simple: put on the best performance with your Pokemon, don't destroy the theater, and have fun!

The Theaters will be taking submissions of anywhere between 2-4 trainers with any amount of Pokemon they would like to put in the production. We'll be throwing up some plotting threads to make groups below and to discuss the type of play you'd like to put on. For maximum spontaneity, it might be fun to not decide on exactly how the play should go before you guys start threading amongst yourselves... This event will not have mod input; it will be directed by the players.

The grand prize will be announced as well: some mysterious rainbow-colored scales discovered in the Swamp! We hope you have fun with this! Voting will start to happen beginning May 10th!

Plotting

[bravenewmods]

Plotting/searching for group members goes here!

[celebrity_commentator]

Rise is definitely up for this, and has a number of Pokémon beauties aiming for roles themselves. Anyone from her CR want to team up? If anyone from Union Divine Theater wants to represent, she's more than willing to join them.

[moemoetentacles]

DOUBLE GYARADOS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY
IT'S SO INTENSE

Y/N???????

[celebrity_commentator]

Rise might have to have her annual moment of responsibility and point out that we're not trying to destroy the theater...

[moemoetentacles]

Well, maybe not that, but something. She wants those Prism Scales. :V

[celebrity_commentator]

I think we could definitely work something out. I'm kind of wondering what the BNW equivalent of The Little Mermaid would be, actually.

[moemoetentacles]

Well, here's what she's got to work with. Castform could be handy for dramatic weather effects.

[silencesamurai]

I kind of want to slide Simon in (whether he's actually willing to do it or not), so if anyone can think of a way to drag him into a performance, toss it at me!

Bonus points for samurai/sword stuff, because that would probably be the one thing that'd make Simon actually 100% agree to perform.

[lifeissuffering]

Sorry I didn't catch this sooner! Would you be interested in grouping with Ogami? Sakura might tag along too.

Edit: I suspect the performance will be more of a showing off sword skills thing. Especially since Ogami's Machoke wields his Honedge.

[silencesamurai]

I was hoping you'd come up, actually! I'd definitely be interested in putting Blackquill in with Ogami (if I'm not too late, that is). Maybe their Scythers could joust in the background, too?

[lifeissuffering]

We have a few days, went ahead and threw us in!

I have to run to work soon but if you want to get it going we can tag tonight.

COSTUMES!

[timeywimeyorb]

While not much of a performer herself, Setsuna could offer costume fittings and such.

It might be a fun log, but I'd like to know if there was interest in hanging with Setsuna to try and clothes and such :3

[comparative_insanity]

Costumes!

No but seriously who wouldn't want to hang out and try on clothes and such? I feel this is a much better question.

[timeywimeyorb]

This is an excellent question. I suppose I can set up a backdated something for the occasion :3

[comparative_insanity]

Just throwing Fai in here because lbr he loves attention and being social with people and all other shenanigans that this might mean. Come at me bros. All of you bros.
