In midst of a Summer Festival, yet again!


In the coastal city of Turnbloom yet again, the sun is bright and warm--but of course it's not the only place. All over Ultern everyone is enjoying the summer weather. Little by little, Ulternians and long-time Drifters alike have started to put out summer decorations throughout the start of August, which replaced the ones from Tanabata (if any had been left out to begin with).

There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby. Followed with the cool gentle breeze that carried the salty scent of the sea. Things seem to be at peace, as usual--or is it?

After all, there were always new Drifters popping in. Maybe today there just might be some new faces wandering through looking confused. Now's the time to step up and lend a helping hand. Icharibachoude, we're all brothers, as they say in Ultern!

Or heck, just feel free to enjoy the fun festivities filled with food and music.

That is, if you can--as behind the walls of houses in Ultern that day the familiar friendly faces all wake up with a surprise no one's expecting.

(🌺Ulsai! Happy anniversary everyone, and thank you so much for a whole year of time in Ultern! Please note NPCs will be popping up here and there! But for some reason they’re all different…? For any comments, concerns and questions head on over to the OOC post! Plot with your fellow players there as well!🌺)

Oh... oh my.

[Ai covers her mouth and stares in surprise, then looks to Tipper again.]

... he does sound like him... and Tipper seems to recognize you, even though he hadn't known who you were a moment ago, but...

Are you a relative of Professor Banyan's? Did you come here before? Maybe when you were very, very little and that's why you two couldn't recognize each other at first? Or...

[The Professor is nowhere here, today, it seems, and this boy has the same name, so could he be...? If she could come to Ultern despite having died, could someone come here from a different time? He might be family or... he might even be the Professor himself? But she didn't want to jump to conclusions!]

[There's a confused look from Beni at Ai's reaction. Tipper meanwhile is happily scrambling to climb on top of Beni--which has this ten year old cringe a little. Almost as if he's not used to having a Pokemon, let alone a Pikachu climb up onto him. He does however relax a little the moment Tipper is settled up on his shoulders.]

Uh...I don't know any Professor Banyan around these parts, let alone any professors.

[He'll scratch his cheek in thought.]

The only family I know about is my lil bro, Chide but he ain't around seems like.

[Oh, dear. Ai frowns a little at Tipper and holds her hands out.] Come to me. You don't have to carry Tipper if you don't want to, Beni... [He looks a bit more comfortable now, but Ai doesn't want him forcing himself to be fine with it if it's not necessary!!]

Let me start over, then. Um... you and your brother, do you live with no one else? Where did you live?

Pii...

[Tipper is pouting and making a face as he refused to move. Instead he's cling to Beni while shaking his head. Beni glanced over to Tipper and then to Ai. There's a sheepish smile on his face.]

No need ta worry. He ain't hurting no one like this.

[He'll blink a few times at Ai's question. Why was she asking him that...? He'll point right at the house they all came out of.]

I live right there. It's just me and my brother who lives there. I don't...remember seeing either of you two before. Not that I don't mind having guests over.

I see, but...

[Tipper refuses to leave him, but Beni continues to speak of him without recognizing him!] Tipper acts like he knows you.

... that's where Professor Banyan lives. That's who we live with there.

[Ai folds her arms, frowning, deep in thought.]

... could you be a time traveller?

He seemed to know my name, that's for sure.

[Beni nodded while glancing over to Tipper. Tipper happily rubbed his forehead against Beni. He will stare at his home, frowning to himself.]

But I don't know either of ya two, or even a Professor Banyan...that's strange. It's really...

[It felt like he stepped into a strange dream. At Ai's question, he blinked a few times and stared at her.]

Time traveler? I wouldn't know how ta do something like that! But...this place is my home, but it's...different.
