March/April Catchall | The Mechanical Menagerie [OPEN]

Who: Yuga and YOU
Where: Around Jubilife Village
When: March 18th to like April 31st
What: Yuga has gotten his hands on not one... not two... but THREE mechanical devices. Twozo the Rotom is delighted.

------------------

[Rotom Phone is ringing | March 18th]

"You really had to keep me up all night, huh Twozo?"

Yuga's Rotom shrieks loudly in confirmation, making Yuga wince at the sharp sound. Last night, Yuga had been kept up by Twozo yelling at various Rotom to keep out of his room. At first, Yuga had been touched by what he assumed was Twozo protecting him but he quickly figured out Twozo was just being territorial over his Arc Phone.

"You're a brat, you know that?"

"Geeeeeheeeee~"

Hence his exhaustion the following morning. Yuga yawns yet again as he gets up to face the day. Yuga suspects he'll have his roommates over soon to complain about the noise Twozo had been making so he decides that it's time to split. He has things he wants to do today.

Provided he doesn't get caught, Yuga is going to be out and around the village. You may see him at the Craftsman's store staring at the various tools the man has before picking up what could only be described as a lobotomy pick. Otherwise, you may see Twozo cackling maniacally as they hover around Yuga, the tiny boy coming closer before pointing directly at you.

"Hey, can I see your phone? I wanna check something!"

--------

[Rotom Fridge is buzzing | Any date]

Yuga's been doing his best to work with the resources he's been given. Thankfully, between Huff, the Construction Corps, and Hisui's natural bounty, Yuga's had plenty of materials to invent things with. In regards to his inventions, he's had some success so far: he's figured out how to make some primitive capacitors and he's making progress on reinventing the lightbulb. However, Yuga's a boy who dreams big. He's made hovercrafts, drones and wants nothing more than to pilot a big mecha. He wants to build something like that to make things easier for the people in Jubilife Village... but he needs real, processed materials.

So when Ginter of the Gingko Guild said he had come across three mechanical curiosities, Yuga didn't even hesitate. He spent every cent of his salary obtaining them.

You'll probably see Yuga outside of Residential Block A, right next to the Galaxy Exploration Building, practically vibrating on the spot, a huge smile on his face. In front of him is a bright orange mechanical cabinet that most people not native to Hisui will recognise.

"It's a fridge! A fridge!" Twozo the Rotom floats over his shoulder as Yuga pours over the device. He opens the back to look at the motor and twists it to check if its working. "It's no good without power but we can work with this. We can finally build something with a motor." Yuga leaves the vent unscrewed and goes back to the fridge doors. He opens it up and looks inside. "This looks really sturdy. We could build a drone to make collecting items safer. Or a better way to regulate temperature using the motor. Or-"

As Yuga rattles off on what he could possibly do, Twozo takes a closer look at the fridge motor. Then, with a loud cackle, the Pokemon immediately integrates itself with the machine. The fridge crackles to life and Twozo's big, goofy grin appears on the fridge. Without hesitation, Twozo bumps Yuga in the shins and then immediately closes the fridge doors on the poor boy.

"What? Twozo!" Yuga bangs the inside of the fridge to no avail. "Hey! HEY! Let me out of here! TWOZO!"

--------

[Rotom Mow is a menace | Any date]

"Come on, Twozo. You already have the fridge. Why can't I use the lawnmower?" This is not the first time Yuga will ask this question. Across the village and in the Galaxy headquarters, Yuga will occasionally whine to his partner. Said partner will merely cackle in response, not intent on losing the ability to become a rolling vehicle of destruction.

Honestly, it doesn't even seem weird, given everything else going on. Hell, the living lawnmower will probably escape your notice. However, it's almost impossible to not notice if you go out to the Obsidian Fieldlands.

Yuga needs some extra supplies he's too impatient for the Supply Corps to provide him, so he comes out looking for more iron ore and tumblestones. Behind him, Twozo follows happily. All is calm until the Mow Rotom sees a tall patch of grass.

...Whether or not you're passing by or you are (unfortunately) in the grass hiding, waiting to catch a Pokemon, you'll witness the Rotom cackle loudly and charge towards the grass. Twozo opens their sharp teeth and the loud buzz of a circular saw can be heard for miles around as the Pokemon shreds the grass.

--------

[Rotom Fan is whirring | Any date]

By the end of it, Yuga has accepted that the mechanical marvels indeed belong to Twozo. While he couldn't say he wasn't disappointed, he's not surprised. The sheer bliss that Twozo seems to experience as the Rotom dives in and out of forms makes taking it away out of the question. However, while Yuga can't strip the machines for parts, it doesn't mean he can't use them.

After begging asking Beni a lot, Yuga's gotten permission to use his kitchen and some of his ingredients. If you walk into the Wallflower you may see Yuga with a bowl held up like a shield and berries on the kitchen countertop. Across from him, Twozo in his Fan form is hovering, giggling like the mad lad they were.

"Oh! Hi there! Sorry, I'll take your order in a second. Can I just get you to help me out with something?"

...There's nothing good that can come out of this.

Fridge

[ This place has been a strange, but refreshing change of pace for Paige. The low tech environment fascinates her. Which is why, when she sees a truly bizarre fridge in the street, and hears muffled yelling coming from it she just kind of. Slows to a stop and stares. It's strange enough to see a modern convenience here, but even in its familiarity its unfamiliar. It has a face, after all. ]

Oh? Where did this come from?

[ Then she makes the potential mistake of approaching and reaching for the handle. ]

[ There is an audible gasp from Paige as the fridge jumps, but it changes to laughter part of the way through. As she kind of suspected, this fridge is a pokemon of some sort. Or at least, that's what she's got to assume given the movement and cackling. The fact that there's another voice coming from inside strikes her as concerning though.

Ever the diplomat, she puts her hands on her hips and addresses Twozo. ]


You're a little prankster, huh? [ She smiles softly. ] But...maybe it's hard to appreciate your pranks from inside a cold, dark box, don't you think?

[ Paige takes a little step back to give the door some room to open and Yuga some room to fall out. She stoops down a bit and offers her hand to help him up with a smile. ]

You have a very lively pokemon, friend. Are you okay?
