(Alright, I have some time to post now, and since things seems to have stalled...let me put things into gear once more)
With everyone's days more or less over (And those that are not To Be Concluded in Time...), it was time for everyone to hit the hay and rest up. For some the day was hectic and stressful as the last, but for others it was a time respite and erudition. Everyone's days were eventful regardless - Sutalor indeed proved to be a wild place, even in the very heart of its Settled Civilization. Will things continue to ramp up for these Souls to the next crisis or Event, or will things finally settle for a lull for true relaxation and recovery?
We'll see, won't we?
The sound of a roaring, all consuming storm resounds throughout the morning - whether it is what wakes you or merely greets you is undetermined. Looking at your Phones/Dexes/Televison/etc. , you see a Alert from the Weather Insitution: A miniture Hurricane was sweeping through Bayhama Today until Night Time. Not a terribly bad one, at least by the Institutes and Settler standards, but it was severe enough that they advise business to close for the day and for people to stay indoors if at all possible if they don't have a way of dealing with the strong holwing winds and torrential downpour.
Hurricane Weather Effect: Until Night Time Encounter Slot, All Outdoor Encounters are considered Risky and possibly Deadly. Any Encounters taken outside will count for Twice as much time if they are not happening at specific locations; Any sort of Exploration Encounters or Hunts are likely subject to increasing difficulty but potentially greater rewards. For example, you might find greater treasures that have blown in the city or at the beach, but you'll be dealing with the raging storm and seas in those cases. In effect, if you do an Outdoor Encounter or try to travel through the City to a location that isn't Exempted, it'll cost you 1.5 - 2 Encounters instead, depending on what you're doing or what Protection you bring to Counter the Hurricane weather.
Currently, the only Locations that are Exempt are Centers, The Department Store, the Koffee Shop, and the Government Seat in general; if you want to go somewhere else and want to skip the Cost, you better have a good reason for why!
Wild Pokemon will be scares outdoors, but those that are out are likely to be especially hardy or came out because of the storm; who knows what one could find in the raging tempest?
Finding Trainer Battles outdoors will practically be non-existent unless they're especially Tough and/or Bold (and insane); In Centers, however, a bunch of Trainers would be cooped up and raring for a way to pass the time in some fashion. However, that doesn't mean People might not be out and about in the storm - the gale forces may prove to be an boon and opportunity for some, good or ill....
As for our lovely heroes...
For Seddi, Oz, and Bern: They're be suffering - 1 Exhaustion for their first 2 Encounters and No Will Point Recovery from undergoing their Test from the previous night, grueling and harrowing as it was. In addition, these PCs must Choose 2 Pokemon - they suffer - 1 Pain and 1 Exhaustion for the rest of the Day, either due to taking part in the test or as a carryover effect from their Bonds with their Trainers and teammates.
For Seddi (@Dragonstrike) and Oz (@Spiritmon): You'll be waking up either at a Center or the Embassy, respectively, unless you have an idea of where else your character would end up for the night.
- For Seddi, they would wake up with a Text from Dodger himself, which simply says: 'Hey. Want to meet up with ya ASAP. Got something to share.'
-- You also get a Text from Professor Sada: 'I've been able to partially restore the International connection with Paldea. Connection is unstable, and is subject to dropping in and out without me micromanaging it; calls have to be short, and any Trading be done quickly before the connection fails and I have to reset the system I cobbled together for maintenance. Whatever took out International Communications is frustratingly complex and insideous; it is resisting every attempt I'm making to make simple fixes, and the red tape around this is hamstringing my capability to meaningful resolve these issues without needless work-arounds and some measure of secrecy. I'll be handling updating La Primera, but your Mentor wants to talk with you immediately; she's been quite....worried about you from what little news she's got.'
Oh, and right beside your bed is what appears to be something concealed by a big fluffy comforter, slowing rising and falling. Lifting it up would reveal Iron Leaves, resting faithfully by your side, guarding your own Sleep as what is proving to be her usual trend.
For Oz: You'll receive a message from Tiffany from the Koffee Shop, asking if you could come in Today to help; staffing is short, due to the Storm and they could use the help, or so she claims. As a deal sweetner you'll be given Free Coffee for every Encounter you dedicate your Time Slots too!
- You also receive a message from the Police: 'John' has not be Found or Apprehend, and there are currently no Leads on the case of Assault against you. As a victim of the crime you're being updated on the case for the time being; given recent events, the upcoming Festival, and the storm, you have a feeling that it won't be solved anytime soon...
For Bern/@PhantomUnderYourDesk specifically: You have a choice of where you want Bern to end up for the Night
- The Magi Embassy
- Accepting an Invitation as a Guest at the Gleams
- ....Or sending a message to Morgana if you want to spend the Night with her, now that you know she's Available
Different places will have different Things available for you to engage with at Day Start; choose carefully....
For Darron(@Mikaruge108): They lose 2 Will Points instead of gaining Will from Resting, the effects from their Encounter with the Flutter Mane rearing their ugly head. In addition, they find the feather they 'obtained' from them right beside their bedside nightstand, faintly glowing with pink light.... The Shedninja is also awake, floating by your bed with what you think is an air of confusion but acceptance.
For Vernon(@Iron): They gain 2 Will Points from their Rest, it proving especially invigorating after the mental slog that was yesterday from them. They receive a text from the Survival Center saying they're free to come at anytime to Visit the Big Dodrio, but can otherwise reschedule to Tomorrow or later if they can't get through the Hurricane Weather; No Encounter Cost to traveling through the Storm if going to the Survival Center for Vernon.
For Akamu/@Redstone : You have choice of outcomes...
- If you wish, you could have your 4th Encounter (Date Night!) abridged; this will give you set rewards as well as some randomized outcome with how things went. You can choose an overall approach you want Akamu to have with the woman, though, and I'll factor that in accordingly!
- Regardless, you have a choice of where your PC wakes up: Either at a Center, or at the Tour Guide's Residence.
As with Bern, the different locations will offer different Things for your character to interact with...
Sylvia the Espeon has elected to join the Koffee Shop as a worker for the time being; her meeting with the young Flareon stirred a certain sense of responsibility within her, and she's currently acting as a mentor and teacher for all the foxes there.
Ianai is currently MIA: after the Test they vanished. They claim they need time to 'recover' from it too; how and why remains unseen.
And that is that: how will each of these Souls greet the Dawn?

Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
