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!
hespera is a nice, quiet place. not that different from anywhere else she's been, really - but pax is too quiet, these days, and she fades into the background just as easily as she did when she was eleanor and not tamara.
history had always been a love of eleanor's. tamara doesn't know what she's doing here, staring up at a statue of genesect with candles lit around the various people attending - not worship, exactly, but meditation, perhaps? - and feels out of place, awkward.
just like she does at pax, these days, regardless that it's her home.
she moves away from the altar, stands in front of a stained-glass window depicting another aspect of genesect.

before the alter, alex stands contemplative. hands in his pockets, he wonders about the deities. it was a strange concept to pray to legendaries, and he thought back to his conversation with thalia.
"do you believe that legendaries occupy themselves with human affairs so?"
he can feel the virus in the vicinity, looking to tamara. sonata slinks in his shadow, stretching out to reach over to tamara, a hand reaching for her ankle. "it just seems odd."
although darwin had been quite interested by thalia.
scourge is family - scourge is always family, and tamara smiles to the blue-haired man in the same boat as she. "why? do you not?" she asks a question back, and giggles at the gengar lurking at their feet. she crouches down and holds out a hand, wondering if he - it looked like a he, anyway - would let her touch him.
"or are you asking the question for the sake of asking?"

sonata pokes his head up, laughs, and sinks back into the ground. his shadow stretches throughout the hall, while alex raises an eyebrow. "i was asking for asking, but i also don't believe it. an acquaintance of mine has met a legendary. he seemed apparently unconcerned with human affairs."
alex looks her up and down. "i don't believe i know you. my name is alex."
the gengar retreats, and tamara sighs and stands up. her own partner would be too conspicuous here, and so she is off... somewhere. she prefers not to ask what shenanigans the togepi will get into.
she straightens, instead. "a legendary? really? i suppose it makes sense that 'gods' like them couldn't be concerned with us." until she meets a legendary of her own, or is provided proof, tamara will remain skeptical of their so-called 'godhood.' their stories have remained stories for a reason, after all.
she returns glance for glance, and files away the name. "i'm tamara. it's nice to meet you."

the air around her feels childish, it makes alex curious. "the pleasure is mine." he walks forward, in a circle around tamara. there was a sort of... misty feel to her.
"i met one as well. he seemed quite infatuated with my friend. a scourge legendary, however."
she watches him as he circles, like a noctowl, before she is forced to turn her head around before she breaks her neck. "a scourge legendary? that's surprising." weren't legendaries supposed to be safe from the scourge?
but no matter. she's curious enough to ask something else - "who is your friend?"

that is true. everything falls, eventually, weathered down by persistent efforts. her life so far had taught her that much.
she has yet to meet this girl, but knowing matters in kohaku it is only a matter of time. she hums noncommittally, glancing curiously at wherever the gengar went - she has no words to reply to that.
or perhaps she does. "dragon pokemon. are they her signature type?" because tamara is curious.

"i do not believe so." alex watches as sonata curls out of the ground. "she is a strong trainer. perhaps the strongest in eos." he leans in and strokes tamara's hair gently, looking down at her.

he lets her back up, taking a hint and dropping his hand.
"alex faysal, at your service. hades agent." he snapped and the gengar rose out of the ground. "this is sonata. my partner." he bows then, and the gengar mimics. "and yourself, my lady?"
she stands her ground, even as she moves a step or two back. she isn't one to be pushed around. not anymore. not as tamara, anyway.
(eleanor is a different story)
"tamara, hades agent," she says simply, and looks around.

surprisingly, her partner drops down from where she'd climbed up to the ceiling, and tamara catches her with a sigh. "this is theia, my partner." the togepi always had to be one for such dramatics.

she doesn't know about hatchlings being partners, but his guess of a new agent is spot-on. tamara shrugs, and doesn't try to stop theia when she unbalances herself in her arms to peer at the gengar.
"old enough," tamara replies simply.
(never reveal a lady's age, a voice rings in her head and she tamps that thought down.)
"how about you? i'm guessing you're one of the older agents, then?"
