This world is inhabited by creatures that we call pokemon. People and pokemon live together by supporting each other, but now the scourge threatens the safety of the entire region. Kohaku has become a dangerous place, where children stay at home and only brave souls go adventuring.
Welcome to KOHAKU. Come for the nightmares. Stay for the tea and crumpets.
The season is SUMMER. It is easy for survivors to forage for food from the land, as there are entire abandoned farms ready for harvest. On the downside, you can smell the corpses.

GRAND OPENING !
Welcome to KOHAKU REGION's grand opening! If you're interested in joining, come check out our grand opening giveaway!
donphan means damn, or at least it used to on a different site. and then there were stuff like corphish shit and combusken wuss and things like that. we used to have a list back then. wonder where it went.
speaking of curses, hieronymous didn't curse very often. he was well-seasoned with what the world had to offer him and yet stood strong and did not succumb to many ... things. he was a very unique person, to say the least.
"well, think about it now. we've got time."
hieronymous strode about the area, watching it like a hawk. and then he raised his cane, tapped a few rocks, and opened up an area that led to a crypt. dead pokémon sealed in quartz merely looked as if they were asleep. hieronymous wasn't too bothered by them.
amadeus bounced after its partner. 'c'mon!'
and when one thought that the post was over, suddenly, hieronymous --
I feel like that list should be made universal. I do feel bad for the Corphish and Combusken though you mean people. You’re almost as bad as Isaac.
Okay. She was given thinking time. Did she want to die or live forever? Weird question; it wasn’t like the answer mattered, it wasn’t like the old man was going to pop out a cup and say ‘Here’s the Holy Grail with Fountain of Youth water or whatever you should totes drink from it.’ There was just no point in asking the question.
“Mo,” Tiffany whispered to her partner as quietly as she could. “Do you wanna live forever?”
<Don’t copy,> Mo responded, loudly. As Hieronymous did yet another surprise shout. At first Tiffany thought he was telling her off for cheating and was about to spill some excuse, but then her brain caught up with her ears.
“Um…” She had an answer, but it wasn’t modest. Tiffany decided to stall instead. “What are you doing over there? What’s that?”
isaac had to have come from somewhere, if we're being completely honest here. so is hieronymous, even if he wasn't a vertigo-creaed npc to begin with.
hieronymous was rather deaf at times. his hearing wasn't exactly selective, unlike what some rangers would believe. he was just ageing as time went past, and one day he might just need that walking cane for walking instead of using it like an extended arm.
"you have yet to give me an answer," said hieronymous, walking down and past the graves of pokémon who had fallen in battle. they had all died valiantly; their achievements were etched forever into the quartz and would honour them even in the afterlife. "i'm waiting."
and so was amadeus. it had a thing or two it had to show to the new ranger, but until they got over this hump, they weren't going to do anything else. the umbreon frowned.
Lol “creaed”. It’s like that accent where they use a glottal stop(?) instead of a t. I’m gonna read the rest of your post as if a chav was reading it to me.
Hah. Hieronymous the chav.
Dammit, the stalling hadn’t worked. Hierononnymous hadn’t answered her question which was something that was honestly more interesting than the one she was supposed to be answering anyway. Jeez, she didn’t want to answer – no matter what she said, she had a feeling that she would be told she was wrong. Telling you that you’re wrong was something she’d heard old people were good at doing.
“Um, well…” Tiffany said the next part slowly, trying to be careful with her words. “Living forever sounds totally amazeballs and all, but, like… No offense to your oldness and all, but I don’t want to live forever if I have to spend forever as a wrinkly old lady.”
i actually don't pronounce my T's all that often. i tend to eat them up if they're in the middle of a word.
hieronymous didn't seem to hear tiffany. deciding to speed the process along, amadeus barked in an attempt to alert tiffany to its newest acquisition: a freshly-killed seaking was deposited at her feet like a cat bringing its master a rat.
the man noticed the dead seaking and clapped his hands.
So you’re the real chav in this thread? (I feel like I’ve just said a big insult so I do apologise.)
How lucky she was to be dealing with a deaf old man; most old grannies who would’ve heard her answer would’ve given her an offended look and a piece of their mind. Or so the legend of the old people goes.
The distraction (okay, the actual part of the thread we’ve been waiting for) was, well, disgusting. Groww. Ew. Tiffany’s hands went to her mouth and for a second she wasn’t sure if she was going to throw up. And when the instruction was given, Tiffany looked at Hieronymous as if he were truly mad (and for the first time noticed the Gaius eyebrows. Huh. Weird. They hadn't moved).
“You must be joking. I can’t… I don’t know how to do that sort of thing!” What did he want her to do? Some sort of satanic ritual that would end with the Seaking’s spirit possessing one of their bodies? Tiffany had seen enough horror movies to imagine this ending very badly.
"but i just demonstrated!" hieronymous said with the air of an old person who wasn't all that patient with the young ones, "i'm not doing it again. were you vigilant enough to observe, ranger? what did i say?
"CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" 'constant vigilance!'
for some reason, amadeus barked the same words along with its master.
Oh, right. Lesson one. “Whoops.” Tiffany had completely forgotten about the vigilance thing. And Gaius-brows sounded pretty serious when he said that he wasn’t going to show her again.
It was unfair – he had distracted her with his stupid question – but Tiffany knew by now that complaining wouldn’t get her anywhere. So, she brought out her styler and pointed it at the (ew, ew) Seaking. It better not come back as a body-possessing demon-soul-thing.
Swish and flick.
uD66cOik <10 (I think it’s supposed to be 20 but hey she wasn’t paying attention?) ETA:omfg that roll are you kidding me
I think when I first wrote that I read Amadeus as Hieronymous.
Yay Hieronymous is in a good mood today.
Tiffany won’t really mind it if the Umbreon eats the dead Seaking, as long as she doesn’t have to watch it. Those eyes are still creeping her out. Bloody fish eyes.
