[Semi Open] Para-Rotom Activity
WHO: Professor Turo and others, AND YOU.
WHAT: A Rotomphone Rotom got bored. And now it's your problem.
WHEN: April 7th
WHERE: The Newbie Apartments
WARNINGS: Close encounter of the zappy kind, mild annoyances.
[All this talk about haunted houses and seeing lost loved ones was sure to draw in spooky and supernatural activity towards the new visitors!]
[So if your lights start flickering, or your tv is showing weird things, your coffee’s coming out cold—
Just blame the ghosties, right?]
[And definitely not a very bored Rotom that decided since it’s owner has a NEW PHONE to play with, it could go find some fun elsewhere!!]
[Not like it was lonely or anything!!
So, during that day, weird and wacky things with everyone’s electronics would happen—!]
Closed to Rin Tohsoka and Archer Emiya: Food Fight
[The next time Rin was going to get a snack from the fridge, when she closed it—
Huh. Weird, why did the door open again?
And… weren’t some things out of place? The soy sause definitely wasn’t upside down before—]
Closed to Squall Leonhart: Not a Lofi hiphop to chill to--
[If Squall was hoping for a relaxing day, he might have a problem with that.
Because the music player in his apartment would suddenly decide to go off.
Blasting music that seemed to try and get your blood pumping—]
Closed to Mukuro Ikusaba: Daytime Rave
[Flick.]
[Flick.]
[Flick.]
[Odd; the lights in whatever Room Mukuro would find herself in just could not stopping flickering. It seems mostly random too, and if she went to turn off the lights, it would just flick on again—]
[Or if she wanted to turn them on, they’d flick off... and whatever it was... wasn't staying to one room.]
Closed to Soldier 76: Did you want coffee with your ice?
[—Odd. Hadn’t the coffee maker been going for a long time? And yet it still didn’t seem to be producing coffee… Even if the smell of coffee was filling the room! Had it broken?]
Network Post: Open to All
[Sometime later that day, a video would appear on the Network, a man wearing what looked like a labcoat and full body suit adjusting the Camera, and once assured it was in the right position--]
Ah, hello. Pardon me.
[Clearing his throat carefully.]
My name is Professor Turo. I am a Pokemon Researcher from the Region of Paldea.
I wanted to apologize, as I believe due to an error on my part, some of you were harassed by a Pokemon of mine.
[He’d take out a purple and white coloured ball, clicking down on the small circle in the middle, and—]
Bzzzt!
[ A little orange and cyan coloured smiling creature appeared in a flash of light, and was staring at the screen, with a GRIN on it’s face—]
[While the Professor looked at it with clear exasperation.]
This is a Rotom— an Electric and Ghost type Pokemon, known for possessing electric appliances and causing mischief. However, they also can be tamed to either fight with Pokemon Trainers, or be used in our own electronics, like Pokedexes, phones and bicycles.
[--Don't mind the shirtless, well toned, scarred up man who's face is covered by the towel he's using to dry his hair walking behind the Professor by the way. Nothing important to see here.]
I sincerely apologize if Rotom caused you any undo distress today. It will not happen again if I can help it.
If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them.
—Thank you for your time.
((Although I can’t reply to everyone to thread out the mischief Rotom got up to, please feel free to reply as if the little guys decided to bother your character!
Just remember, Rotom would not ever seriously hurt anyone beyond spooking them or giving them a minor electric shock to keep them away if it felt threatened! Also it can move through walls, whoops.))

There was a faint huff as he leaned in enough to moved a hand over the top- before 76 paused for a moment before flicking the switch to turn the machine off. Then he resumed the action of moving to lift the lid of the maker so he could get a look at what was going on.]
no subject
Like... you couldn't see the coffee grinds, or the water, or anything.
Maybe it got pushed down deeper? ]
no subject
That wasn't right.
76 also wasn't about to be plunging a hand, let alone any of his fingers, into that strange darkness just to try and see. What he did do was take the coffee maker itself and tilted it just ever so slightly to try and use the kitchen light to his advantage.]
no subject
Water, coffee, maybe? Maybe just tilt it a liiiiittle more... ]
no subject
Until he pulled it a bit closer to himself, trying to see if he could angle it just right for some light to get in three somehow.]
This thing can't be broken already.
no subject
SURPRISE!!! ]
[Because the older man would be DRENCHED by a torrent of cold, cold, cold coffee, right in his face! ]
no subject
76 didn't move a muscle once he was hit with the ice cold coffee outside of closing his eyes and a twitch. He could hear the liquid hitting the floor as well, dripping and soaking through his shirt.
He also didn't let go of the coffee maker.
After a heartbeat or two a hand moved, unplugging the coffee maker and hauling it up off the counter all at once.]
... laughing.
[So. Dry. It was laughing and there was something in it, wasn't there.]
no subject
And Jack would see that the coffee maker he was holding ... Had... eyes now?
And a big wide smile, grinning at him with mischievous glee. ]
[ And if he was to let go of the coffee maker, it would start floating~!
Oh he was a fun one, he was so surly and dry~! Or... Wet now! ]
no subject
[He had let go at seeing the face, expecting it to land back on the counter.
Only it didn't. What the ever living fuck was this?]
Think you're funny, huh.
no subject
[ The coffeemaker was circling him in the air, almost seeming like it was giggling at his reaction. ]
[ Which it totally was. Sloshing more coffee around too. ]
[ But, the front door was clicking opened-- ]
I have returned--
[ A familiar voice calling out from the hallway. ]
...Did you make coffee?
no subject
Laugh it up.
[He was going for the power cord now, see if he could at least get a 'leash' on it that way. Attention was caught when he heard the door, the voice that followed.]
I was attempting to, until something up and possessed the damned coffee maker.
[Still going for the cord, too.]
no subject
[ Whatever could 76 mean? He had read that there were ghosts here in this world, which was not something he was unfamiliar of, considering the Ghost type--
Ghost type.
Oh no. ]
--One moment, I will be right there. Please keep it's attention on you--
[ He needed to check something first. Not bothering to remove his labcoat, he dashed to his room, picking up his Rotomphone... ]
[ Which was. Not turning on. Shook it once-- nothing. ]
Ah.
[ Well, that solved that mystery. Opening up a drawer, he grabbed one of the empty Masterballs he had came here with. Most trainers would groan at the idea of 'wasting' a Masterball on such a Pokemon, but he did not really have a choice in the matter-- ]
[ Jack's first attempt at grabbing the cord would fail, with it dashing to his side. But a second attempt would have it caught, an indignant BZZZT sound obvious as it pulled on the cord, those eyes on the coffee maker clenching shut as it TRIED TO PULL AWAAAAY-- ]
no subject
Take your time, thing just wants to play up being a prankster.
[—even if spoken with such a dry tone.
The successful grab came from when he had moved low, moving up and using the cord to get a hold of the machine itself.]
If you'd wanted to help make coffee you could've just asked.
[Talking to whatever the hell was in the coffee maker, of course.]
