[OOC: this is a catch-all group chat for the POKEGO members to use however they'd like. This chat is open ONLY to POKEGO members and is not actually part of the Libra app (but their own separate network). It should also be noted that while full members have the ability to create private filters, the apprentices do not. ]

[On January, everyone's phones will give that distinct but familiar ringtone, indicating that they have a new message from POKEGO.]

Hello Everyone!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I know I did. I went with my grandson Gary to visit some family back in Japan. It's been a long time since I've been home, so it was quite an experience.

Anyway, as I'm sure some of you have already met them... you have a very exciting new member of the team! Koyamaki is one of the founding members of POKEGO and a dear old friend of mine! In fact it's easy to say that without their influence, POKEGO would've never existed! But don't let them intimidate you! Just treat them like you would any other senior member - they like to be included!

And speaking of new members, we got a few new graduates from the mentorship program! Congratulations to Carambola and Arbutus for passing your exam! I look forward to seeing the work you do, and to our long working relationship together! And I hope you passing the exam serves as an encouragement to the large group of apprentices we have due for their final next month... study up and know that I'm rooting for you!

Finally, in regards to this month, I want you guys to continue monitoring the situation of the areas outside of the barrier. The water element tends to be pretty blatant in its influence, so it should be easy enough to spot any changes. That said, make sure to bundle up! I know it gets cold this time of year. And if there's anyone out there who needs help- make sure to do so!

That's all for now! Good luck and stay warm out there!

Sincerely,
Professor Oak

[OOC: This is POKEGO's mission message for January! Players as always are free to engage or not engage with it as much as they want

Those who investigate outside the spirit realm barrier will find that unless the land is protected by some other magical means (like Persephone's cottage), the temperatures are dipping far below normal and easily into the life threatening levels. This is due to the Spirit Realm influence that can only be mitigated by the events of the upcoming event log. Otherwise, POKEGO members can do their best to try to help anyone who is outside the barrier to deal with the extreme temperatures.]

Congratulations Star Fruit! It feels pretty good to have it out of the way, doesn't it?

un: Arbutus

[infezione]

Excited to be a full member now!

Apprentices with exams next month, good luck!

[droptheious]

Congratulations, welcome to the fold proper.

[infezione]

Thanks!

It really does.

[whiteshroud]

Afraid I can't help with monitoring outside the barrier. It's freezing down in the fortress and I have to monitor my plants to make sure they don't freeze to death.

The fact this is happening right during the full moon really isn't convenient.

[infezione]

Thanks, Larch! It feels good to be part of things properly.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

Congratulations.

un: larch

[droptheious]

It's so inconvenient! I can always go check it, but there's a nonzero chance I'll just end up rolling around in the snow like an idiot.

[He knows he's not the best at focusing when it's the full moon, they both know this. ]

The temps are a lot lower than I was expecting, though. Not demonic blizzard levels bad, but still. Pretty bad.

How are your plants doing?

[droptheious]

I can bet! The hardest part is done with now, at least. Now you can just focus on what areas you wanna really work on.

[whiteshroud]

That is a possibility... you should probably stick closer to home this time. We don't want to have to mount a rescue mission because you decided to chase a rabbit.

[They both indeed know this]

Demonic blizzard bad?

They're hanging in for now, but if it gets much colder I'm not sure. The few heat lamps I got can only do so much good. I'm going to try to move the most sensitive ones into the serenitea pot, I just hope I can do it before I lose my hands for paws.

[droptheious]

Yeah. And I know I've got a better handle on myself these days. [ Mostly thanks to Jun. ] It'll be safe if I don't go too far out of the way.

Yeah. The one I went through back home after... everything. [His dad being trapped in the amber. THAT everything. ] The blizzard was actually a demon. It's weird. Like all of the magical nonsense in Corona is.

You want me to come help? I can set up some warming pads for them- essentially the same chemical reaction that makes handwarmers work, so they'd be safe.

ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ thanks Jing Yuan

[actnormal]

Why are exams so hard?! This is why I didn't go to college after high school, I was done with tests ･ﾟ･(｡>ω<｡)･ﾟ･

[actnormal]

I did it! Somehow! Thanks probably to Josuke.

[actnormal]

(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

I'm glad you did because I wasn't sure there for a bit.

[actnormal]

Thanks, Dan Heng.

[He sounds so fucking pleased.]

[whiteshroud]

It's true you have made a lot of progress! But better safe than sorry in these weather conditions.

[He rather his boyfriend didn't become a popsicle]

Oh yeah, that blizzard. I didn't realize it was demonic in origin. [Corona sure is like that]If I'm honest, part of me is hoping demons are behind this cold spell too. At least then I'll know how to take care of it.

[Demons are way more simple to deal with than climate change]

That would actually be a big help. Are you sure you won't need those yourself though?

[actnormal]

We did it!!

[killerapp]

do heaters not work down there at all or is it just metal building + underwater?
