soggypastry[Evening, people of the Corps. Have a Lightning on your screens tonight, with the howling roar of the blizzard right behind her. She doesn't look too good, hair pinned away from a too-flushed face, but her voice is even and strong.]
As soon as this blizzard's blown over and the holidays have passed, I need everybody in Goldenrod as soon as possible. You've heard by now that the Radio Tower is still being held by Team Rocket, and we're planning to take it back. [a pause as she swallows hard and inhales, then:] But in order for this to work, we need everybody here so we can plan squads to cover our weaknesses instead of leaving holes in our defense. We're only going to get one shot at this before they start preparing for an attack instead of leaving the doors open, so we have to make this count.
[Her eyes narrow slightly now, before she sighs.]
I'm not saying this is going to be easy. Chances are people are going to get hurt, both on our side and theirs, but you were all warned about that when you signed up for the Corps. If you think you won't be able to do this, for whatever reason, say something now and we'll move on without you. We don't have room for sympathy this time.
[End feed. Blunt and to the point, as always.]
[ooc: as always, a list of the Corps Members can be found here. If your character is a member, assume that they received a message directing them here, just in case it was ICly missed.]

But I'm sorry to hear you got hit with them. I don't think anyone would expect something that innocent to get spiked with poison. And from what I could tell, they looked and smelled like ordinary cookies.
[Not that his words can do much about the situation. The poison won't just magically reverse itself. Darn it!]
Did anything stick out to you about the ones selling the cookies?

Date: 2012-12-20 03:51 am (UTC)The only thing that stuck out was that I never saw a person selling them. They were all Pokemon. I dealt with a Magmar, but I saw a Squirtle and others selling them, too.
[not to mention the "free samples". More like free stomach pumpings. Great.]

Guess that's just another thing to keep an eye out for. Still, I doubt there's much we can do other than spread the word. Not without any other leads.
Besides, we've still gotta prep for the tower siege.

Considering how many people I saw buying the cookies or just taking the free samples? I don't think we'd have to spread the word very far. [deep frown is deep. How many more people were affected? She can't even begin to guess.]
Prepping for the tower's going to take a while, Riku. We still need to find a place for everyone to safely meet at, and it's not like anyone can go looking in this storm.

What a mess. Then again, it's not like this place has ever made things easy before.
