Topic: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

(You've been warned.)

(Mostly) everyone's familiar with the story of Missingno. Well, here's another one: Missingno. isn't dead. Quite alive, actually... if glitches are alive, anyway. And it's causing problems--big problems. The world is glitching all over the place. Twist Mountain has fallen off the map. Oceans are flickering in and out of existence. Pokemon that were champion level one minute are one-shotted by newborns the next. People will sometimes wake up with no memory of their life. The sky, the plants, the people, and Pokemon will all change color with increasing regularity, and in many places the laws of physics are either treated as "guidelines" or thrown out all together.


It's your job to find Missingno. and put an end to all this (well, maybe except for that Twist Mountain bit). It starts in Canalave--one of the very last places where the glitches haven't completely taken hold. Reference canon as much or as little as you like. This is your story: go.

Somewhere in Canalave

A young man, maybe 20 or so, is wandering around, a Murkrow perched on his head and a Misdreavus floating along behind him.

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Also in Canalave


A girl, around her midteens also wanders the streets, her Pokemon in their balls. Her eyes dart back and forth, as if expecting chaos to erupt at any second. As such, she is not watching where she's going and runs straight into the man.

Tessa: Gah!

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

???: "Gah!"

Murkrow: CAW! -flaps up off the man's head-

-the Misdreavus lets out a small sigh-

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: Sorry, wasn't looking. Where's your bird going?

-she frowns and looks at the man with narrowed eyes-

Tessa: Who are you? You haven't been glitched, have you?

6

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

???: "I am not glitched, thank you. Do I look glitched?"

Misdreavus: <No, just inattentive.>

-the Murkrow lands near Tessa, pecking curiously at her feet-

7

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: -snorts and shoves her hands in her pockets- I dunno. Glitched people can look perfectly normal. And then they turn bright purple with orange polka dots, or just pass out and wake up not knowing their name or Pokemon.

-she glances down at the Murkrow, then crouches down and pets it-

Tessa: Your bird is cute.

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

-the Murkrow caws happily-

???: "Yeah, Merle's nice. If a bit of a thief."

Misdreavus: <A bit?>

9

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: -raises an eyebrow- A thief? I'll watch my pockets.

-she straightens up-

Tessa: What's your name, stranger?

10

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

A young man walks through the streets of Canalave, wearing some form of a labcoat. He is on his way to the Canalave library, with Tessa and the man ahead of him   

"I wonder why they make us wear these. It's just a library."

11

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

???: "I'm Tyler. And you are?"

Misdreavus: <Oh yes, just go and trust strangers with your name...>

12

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: Tessa.

-she looks him up and down, then takes her hands out of her pockets and plants them firmly on her hips-

Tessa: Just how much do you hate Missingno., Tyler?

13

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tyler: ...A good deal. Why?

14

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: Because I'm gonna go stop him. Wanna come?

(( If you're looking for a way in, Straw, go ahead and overhear. ))

15

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

The man stops in front of Tessa and Tyler.

"Did I just hear what I think I heard?"

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tyler: ...What? (to Straw) Yes, I think so...

17

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: -turns to Straw- Yep! Want in?

18

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

I wouldn't mind joining you guys.  My name is Adrian. I'm an intern at the library.

19

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tyler: Nice to meet you, then.

20

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: -grins- Awesome! I'm Tessa.

-taps her chin-

Tessa: Hey... If you're at the library, you must know a lot of stuff, right?

21

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Well, yes. I don't know if I know much about Missingno apart from common knowledge though.

22

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tyler: Does anyone?

23

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: -frowns- Darn. I was hoping you'd know something about his weaknesses...

-suddenly claps-

Tessa: But that's okay! We're no worse off than before. Do you know about different regions? 'Cause we're gonna have to find Missingno. before we can kick its butt.

24

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Yeah, I know of some others. There's A map in the library that has all the regions on it.

25

Re: Here Be Glitches! (Open)

Tessa: Cool! I've never left Canalave. Y'know, 'cause of the glitches and all... But anyway, where should we go first? What do we do first? How do we find out Missingno.'s weaknesses?
