Discord Toro News Archive

Post: # 16806Post Archive »

This thread is being made to archive all the posts made in the Discord's #toro-news channel for safety! We have a big backlog to go through so it might take some time. For the moment we'll probably do several announcements in each and try to update it one-by-one when we eventually catch up. Please bare with us as we take a moment to figure out how we want to present and upload the information.

Names may be altered, and some OOC comments may be omitted.



"Hey guys! We made this channel for multiple purposes. If you want to make IC radio announcements for events, feel free to place them here (either the day of the event or you can drop the announcement here ahead of time as a preview).

You can also use this channel for radio and tv shows. For example, if you wanted to do a weekly tv show, you could either drop a synopsis of this week’s episode in here or post a google doc with a longer script. We hope this channel can be used as a creative outlet for people with entertainment-oriented characters.

Please only ping everyone if it’s an announcement relating to an event."

It'd of been a normal Toro day when across various radios a static broadcast would come through:

[TNN] "Attenti... Toro. Team Neo.. oir.. has successfully took.. the air....port under.... control. The star... of a new... ra... begins.. now. The Rise... Team Neo Noir."

As soon as the broadcast is cut out a cut to breaking news plays through all the stations:

[JSR] "Attention Toro Citizens, we have reports from those near Toro International Airport that the facility has been sieged by the mysterious group, Team Neo Noir. They have taken multipul civilians hostage and their plans at this time are unknown. What is known that today was suppose to be an exhibition of the new zeppelin that flew in from Shieferwalden, leading experts are assuming that the team plans to highjack the zeppelin. More updates will come as the situation furthers."

The morning news would cross the waves into radios across Toro as Jiggly Sound Radio Station begins it's morning routine.

"A good jiggly morning Toro! This is your news host Jackson Not-Johnson Jimmy giving you the brief news of what's happening in Toro! To begin with our on going news story, Toro International Airport is still being cleaned up and is expected to reopen at the end of the season. Once again, a thanks to all citizens who responded to the attack as well as a hoorah to the RTMP! However, while all hostages where recused, all but one of the grunts involved in the attack escaped authorities. If you see any Team Neo Noir grunts please be sure to report it and any mysterious activity to the RTMP at once. At this time the plans of Team Neo Noir are unknown, what is known is that they stole a zeppelin from the airport as well as planned on stealing two planes from the nearby hanger but did not take them. Inside the hanger cages full of voltorbs of all sizes where found, it was theorized by analysts here at Jiggly Sound Radio, as well as our parent company JTVS, that Team Neo Noir gathered this pixelmon in attempts to use them as explosives. This was a common tactic of Team Noir previously and could still be a trend within Team Neo Noir. Moving onto our next news topic..."

The station would carry onto other news such as the Carmine fundraising soon to occur and rumors of a cruise ship making a stop in Cobalt

[JSR]

The radios in Toro cut out as the familiar, and long overdue for a return, voice of Stormy Sweetwater comes over the airwaves. With a tone full of vibrant energy, she delivered some serious news!

"Attention Toroans! Stormy Sweetwater rolling in with a thunderous emergency broadcast! The Cobalt Recycling center has been taken over by a Cold Front of those CODEX cronies, the Rhyhorn Riders. We're not exactly sure why they're there, but they took the place over, and boarded up all the doors and windows! Now the higher ups say that I need to tell you guys to stay away. So stay away. But, for those of you who don't know where to stay away from, I'll give you directions!"

Stormy then proceeds to explain rather quickly how to find the recycling plant from the entrance to Cobalt, before clicking out with a laugh that just got caught off.

Our story last left off with the first guardian, Regirock, being ultimately defeated and returned to it's slumbering state. Today however, the Golurk holding the temple let's out a harsh ear piercing cry followed by the sight of several pieces of the temple itself falling from the island to land around the plains of Tyrian. What could be going on...?

Salsa — 07/07/2018 9:54 PM
Continuing from the previous coverage relating to the Golurk and it’s mysterious ruins, the broadcast continues. “...The key to open the next door, completely frosted over with thick ice was found. In addition to this, several adventurers discovered interesting trinkets and an apparent cremation chamber. I suppose only time will reveal the secrets hidden within this mysterious ruin...” What does it all mean? What creature of ice awaits our motley crue? Find out in the next chapter of the Event, beginning next week, day and time TBA.

Fliers would be posted in pixelmon centers and around each towns throughout Toro advertising for the Festival of Lights, a reoccurring festival held in Toro to help return Kibo's Comet back to earth. Along with the fliers various radio advertisements would play one such could be heard from JSR:

[JSR]
"Hello folks, this is Jackson Not-Johnson Jimmy here giving you some community event updates! It's that time of the 13 year cycle for Kibo's Comet where it is at it's furthest point from us, which means... It's time for the Festival of Lights! This year is sure to throw a punch with the amount of family fun, from pixelmon contests to some snow fort building! There is something for everyone at the Festival of Lights, so be sure to come down this upcoming autumn before it's too late and you'll have to wait another 13 years."

kc — 08/17/2018 3:28 PM
A radio broadcast would go across Toro announcing of an upcoming party:
"Hello everyone, Vincent LeGrand here announcing an end of the year celebration at the newly renovated LeGrand Manor off the coast of Cobalt. Come and enjoy a night of partying and free drinks, food will be included of course. Be sure to come in your best.. from years ago! This will be a Unovan rolling twenties styled celebration, so dawn your best feather boas and tap shoes and get ready for a wonderful celebration!"



Vernon — 09/28/2018 2:04 PM
A little jingle plays, broadcasting from the JSR radio station, signaling it was time for the daily news report.

"Good afternoon Toroans! Stormy Sweetwater here, your favorite Bringer of Sun and Shine, or the biggest Rain on your Parade! Time for our daily brief news highlights! Starting us off, there's been no attacks on Toro proper for about a year now! Woo! Maybe we finally showed those no-good CODEX guys what-for. And those Neo Noir guys too!" Papers ruffle over the microphone. "Next up on our Crime Report. Earlier this season, officers recently responded to a break in at a local jewelry store in Aurelia, but when the RTMP arrived, all three men were tied up, and out cold. The only thing indicating was a note saying 'Left you a present, officers!' attached to the foreheads of one of the goons. Nothing seemed to be missing from any of the jewelry bags the goons had either."

Another ruffle of papers. "Now for weather. As always, Toro's got plenty of rain in the seasonal forecast, but things are going to be warming up soon, as Spring is on its way! Well! That's all the time we have for now! This is Stormy Sweetwater, Rain Sleet or Snow, I'm always in the Know!"

And with that, the music returns.

Toro Times for the Kibo Ball!



kc — 01/10/2019 1:02 AM
A short news briefing airs on JigglySound Radio: "Hello there folks! It's time for your brief news recap. It's almost time for the Kibo Ball! As a reminder The Ball will be January 12th at 6PM EST! That means it's only a few days away. In other news we have some disheartening update from Galena. Contact with the research vessel heading for the artic has not made contact in days. It's unknown what happened but it seems as though it's lost at see. Updates will be made as more information releases. For now we all should focus on this amazing ball soon to happy! For now have a great day Toro!"


Vernon — 02/09/2019 9:36 PM
The music on the radio fades out into a special news broadcast.

"HELLO TORO!" Came a cheery voice over the airwaves of the JSR building. "It's me, Stormy Sweetwater, with your Eyes on Events! Today Pix. Co's factory in Canvas got two holes blown in it! Looks like the Rhyhorn Riders are back again! And they managed to steal something! All that was there when authorities showed up was the hero The Steel Knight, a young adult girl, her mother, and a fainted Kommo-o! As far as we know, the owner and identity of the Rider is unknown, but we DO know he was using a beefed-up Exploud! So watch out for anyone like that! We don't know what he took from Pix. Co yet, but if the Riders want it, I'd bet a month's salary that it's not good for us. We'll keep you posted as we find out more info. For now, Rain, Sleet or Snow, Stormy's in the know!"

Click.



Vernon — 02/12/2019 4:52 PM
The music on the radio cuts out, replaced by a news jingle!

"Good Evening Toro, my name is Jericho Hall, and and welcome to Jiggly Station News, your number one source for Radio Based news. Investment information is in today, so for all you day traders, now's the time to go check with your brokers." There's a shuffle of papers, as the monotone voice continues. "Spring is in full swing, as temperatures rise, and flowers bloom. The Flower Forest near Cobalt seems to be in even more of a bloom than last year." More paper shuffling. "Lastly, sky watchers have reported a blue and red streak across the sky, vanishing as quickly as it appeared. These reports are unconfirmed, but are being investigated." Another shuffle. "Please join us at 8 for all the regional news that hasn't happened yet."

The music returns after a few advertisements that follow the broadcast outro jingle.



Vernon — 02/16/2019 1:29 PM
The music on the radio cuts out once more, as Jericho Hall returns for a special news bulletin!!!

"Good Morning Toro, my name is Jericho Hall, and welcome to a special update on Jiggly Station News, your number one source for Radio Based news. In one of our earlier broadcasts, we reported Blue and Red streaks shooting across the skies. Those streaks have now been determined to have been caused by Pokemon, though we're not quite sure what Pokemon are causing them. We urge any Toroans who may know what is going on to call us. Our Tipster hotline is (ZZZ)-YYY-XXXX. We'll see you at our regularly scheduled time with all the news that hasn't happened yet.

The music returns after a few advertisements that follow the broadcast outro jingle.

[JSR] "HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TORO! Stormy Sweetwater here with a Pokemon Behavior Broadcast! For all your oddities in Pokemon behavior! A Volbeat and Illumise have been sighted up IN Tyrian! They keep flashing their tails at people, trying to get their attention! So head on up there and give them your time! It's just past the hotel in the most northwestern corner, just before the beach! That's all for now! Stormy! OUT!"

Breaking News from Jiggly Sound Television and Radio

"Coming straight from the source itself The United Regions has closed down Toro Region's Pix Co. factory as well as it's International Office right here in Aurelia. Sources state that an anonymous high ranking employee has leaked documents that provide a solid link between Pix Co. and the known terrorist group Team Noir. Thus the Untied Regions has closed both portions of Pix Co. for investigations. At this time it's unknown if such a connection is still being maintained with the new branch of Team Noir, Team Neo Noir. Current Pix Co. CEO, Walter Bright, states that the 'documents are falsified and the U.R. should expect full cooperation'. For now the average trainer can expect for Pixelmarts and Pixelmon Centers to still run at status quo thanks to Pix Co.'s partner, Silph Co. This Kanto based company states that it has no affiliation to Team Noir and will help with investigations as needed."

"If anyone has more information about Team Noir or Team Neo Noir we urge you to contact the RTMP as soon as possible, and report any strange activity. With the recent attack and disruption caused by the Ryhorn Riders the RTMP is on high alert, and the U.R. investigation certainly adds more stress! More on this breaking news as information releases."




Vernon — 03/23/2019 7:20 PM

[JSR] "HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TORO! Stormy Sweetwater here with a Pokemon Behavior Broadcast! For all your oddities in Pokemon behavior! A flock of Pokemon have taken over Adamas Square! Flaaffy, Mareep, Swablu, Altaria, Jumpluff, Swirlix, Drifloon, Whimsicott, AND Cottnee are all there in a LARGE amount! They're not causing any issues, but it's rather strange to see all of them. They're all pretty docile too. They enjoy head scratches! So head to Adamas if you need some Pokemon Based Stress Therapy! That's all for now! Stormy! OUT!"

Some news would arrived from the JSTV and JSR:

Early on the 22nd of Autumn an explosion rocked Alola’s Akala island, the source coming from the Alolan Habitat Center. As firemen and rescue crew arrived on site they found half of the A.H.C. had exploded and caught fire. Sources still say the cause is uncertain but it originated in a obscured lab within the West Wing. According to previous statements from CEO Vincent LeGrand there was no research or development occurring at the A.H.C. However there are conflicting reports coming from various workers at the site, one stating a ‘Theo Ross Junior worked on projects for Mr. LeGrand within that wing of the center’. At this time the Alolan Police force has taken Theo Ross Junoir into questioning. The rescue crew is still working to finding missing employees of the A.H.C. as well as Mr. Vincent LeGrand himself. Thus included in this article is a list of missing peoples as of this time. This is still a developing story and more information will be released as it comes, so keep tuned in Toro.

The radio’s usual content would cut out short at the end of a song. Instead of the usual host though, ears are greeted, by a distorted high pitched laugh , followed by an equally distorted mischievous voice.
“Kekekke..~ Greetings good folks of the Toro Region!” The voice proceeded to speak on, this next part as if impersonating a sterotypical news reporter “We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring breaking news! Brought to you by Jokes On U, and I, The ever extravagant and well adored Harlequin! It seems everyone at the Darkthorn Guild has mysteriously become part of a vanishing act, staff and all! Oh boy must that be quite the pickle! Kekekee!” Another mischievous chuckle sounded from the radio, before the mysterious voice resumed its report. “I wonder, can you folks in Toro solve such a mystery? How endearing a prospect! Let’s have it folks, join me in a little game, or will the Joke be on you after all?~”
At the end of the message, the sunny host brightly returns with an optimistic message, " Well that was a message from our ... lovely sponser! Boy, Howdy! Wowee, that sure sounds like some fun! A good ol' time, wouldn't you say? So if you're interested in mysteries, or what not, go give it a gander! " with a chuckle and an implied, exaggerated arm movement they'd add, " Now, back to the easy breezy island life music! Enjoy! "



kc — 04/07/2019 2:34 AM
A season after the incident in Alola a news update would be published in the papers and broadcasted on the radio & TV...

After a season nearly all the rubble and destruction at the Alolan Habitat Center has been cleared up due to numerous workers and volunteers. At this time there are only three missing peoples and at this time their disappearance is due to unknown causes, their bodies have not been found. The missing peoples include Jeff Wordstock, janitor, Marcus Nevermore, scientist, and Vincent LeGrand, Pixelmon professor and CEO. Head officer of the Akala Police branch Tay Wonson states: "If these individuals are not found within this season it's presumed they are dead." According to Tay Wonson the multiple basements and electrical rooms that the A.H.C. make it hard to reach lower floors, it's believe this is where the missing peoples may have been when the explosion occurred. Moving forward, there is unconfirmed reports from witnesses who had seen white vans, these belonging to the United Regions. When questioned the United Region's Public Relations office refused to make a comment. At this time it's unknown what connection the A.H.C. may hold that requires the involvement of the United Regions. Top speculations believe that it deals with the cause of the explosion, the leading theory is that it's due to terrorism. However this is all pure speculation, we will keep you updated when more information is released.



Vernon — 04/13/2019 4:06 PM

A radio broadcast is sent out across the region. An emergency broadcast. It was the calm voice of Jericho Hall.

"Attention Toro. We've received reports of the Porygon Tower north of Ferrite being a-" The report is suddenly replaced by static. All radio channels were not working.

A frantic voice cuts in. "-ODE RED! THE PORYGON TOWER HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY STRANGE POKEMON! THEY'RE ATTATCHING CHAINS TO THE TOP OF THE BUILDING TO POKEMON! WE ARE ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE FROM ANYONE AVAILABLE! THIS IS JENKINS BROADCASTING ON ALL FREQUENCIES! CODE RED! CODE R-" The radio cuts out again, this time not cutting back to anything. Just flat static.

A broadcast comes over the JSR and on televisions..

"A good afternoon to everyone! As some may have felt in Aurelia and especially in Galena an earthquake occurred in the lower half of Toro, the epicenter just south of Aurelia. According to Mayor Claire Everbell of Galena the town has received little damage, however, the subway tunnel connecting Aurelia and Galena has seen a collapse in. At this time cleanup and repair of this tunnel seems extensive and expensive, Mayor Claire Everbell states: "At this time it's possible the Subway will not reopen as we near the opening of the tunnel connecting Adamas and Galena. So there you have it folks! If you spot any damage caused by this earthquake so be sure to stay safe out there and report anything you spot!"

Stow — 05/18/2019 10:12 PM
In the public paper areas in each town where documents were taken (with the exception of Ferrite), some new papers were left with a letter...

"Dear citizen of Toro,

Recently, we have been attacked by creatures from another realm. They appear out of portals or thin air, and pose a threat to the people and Pokemon of our home. In which case, I have created these documents reporting what I have found so far from these Beasts with what attacks and weaknesses they have so you can defend yourself in the case one attacks you. If you gain any more information about these creatures, which I have dubbed 'Parallel Anomalies', please report them to Public Lab 02 at (address).

-William Blair"

Radio Broadcasts in Toro are suddenly interrupted by a loud static, followed by a male voice progressively becoming clearer.

“t e sting... Testing.. Are we Live? Good. Tell it to keep moving. Goodness, so that’s what I sound like? Hm. Ahem,”

(( https://youtu.be/7tJ06_qtmbc ))

“Hello Citizens of Toro! It’s certainly been a while. I won’t bother to ask you how you’ve been, since—well—I already know. But I’m sure you’re curious to know how I’ve been, if anyone old enough to remember me still has their faculties.

See, I decided to do what Dr. Nguyen was either too shortsighted or too careless to do with the generation of Toroans getting in his way. I was going to outlive you all anyway! So I figured why not keep our heads down, work in silence, and let nature take its course?

Unfortunately, there comes a time when one has learned all they can in a lab, and then it’s time to apply what has been learned to a natural setting. Look alive, geriatrics and others! It’s time for field work, and you are the field. You’ll know when the testing starts.

This is the Herald of CODEX, and I’ll see you all very soon.”

The staticky transmission disappears, returning control of the radio to confused DJs or your regularly scheduled music.

In it's place, Cobalt will be lowering it's gym level down to 45, putting it third in the sequence and Carmine fifth! So be ready trainers, because this goes into effect next week, the day after the unveiling of Carmine's brand new look, and brand new gym!"

On a regular ol’ day for the radio, an announcement comes on!

“This thing on? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE RED LIGHT MEANS ON, OF COURSE I- oh, it’s on. AHEM. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. J. Jared Johnson here, with a special announcement. Some of you may recognize me from being the Publisher and Editor in Chief of the Toro Times, or more likely from the popular radio show “Truth be Told”.”

“This isn’t about me, however, as some of you may be sad to hear. Rather, it is about an opportunity. Our head reporter and photographers have recently been given complaints about not being able to be at two places at once, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! IF THERE ARE GOOD STORIES EVERYWHERE, THEN YOU CAN MANAGE- ugh. To the point, they’ve brought it up enough to where I’ve made a decision. I’m hiring new reporters and photographers for the Times to help these LAZY- I mean, busy staff members out. There will be pay of course, though you must be able to arrive to the scene of the action as it happens! Or, if I need you to make me coffee, WHATEVER I SAY! So, if you’re interested, come to my office at the new Toro Times/JTVS joint building in Aurelia. AND MAKE YOUR INTERVIEW GOOD!” he’d bark out, before the radio returns to its regularly scheduled programming.

An announcement would go out at the start of the Summer season on CCR,
Hello everyone of Toro, this is Orchid LeGrand here with some great news. With those who have a Z-Crystal the ability to create z-rings has been unlocked! It's not as elegant as Alola's version... But! After research and tests it was found that a titanium plated amber bracelet works best to mimic the ring we all know. If you wish to get your hands on a Z-Ring you first must have a Z-Crystal, once you do fill out a form that you can find at your local gym or find me hanging around in Galena (Fill out the Google Form). The only price will be hunting down some amber, I have enough titanium for now. I'm also importing books given out to young children in Alola that teaches them how to use Z-Rings and Z-Crystals! So with that Toro has been... Z-Updated! That's all from me today, so get out there and explore the region so we can learn more about Paramons.

The radio announcer of Royal Tyrian Radio crackled, before switching to the voice of.. Shiv Warden! "Yo! People of Toro!" The one could practically 'feel' the excitement heard on the man despite current circumstances. "I'm holding a little event in honor of those venturing into para-space today at the beach bar in Cobalt, come join! Free food and drink for the 'Heroes of Paraspace!'"



Vernon — 07/02/2019 5:54 PM
A short radio broadcast is sent out during adspace on various radio channels.

"Hey Toroans, Dion Ross here. Just wanted to let you know I'm hard at work using the Pokemon Paraspace Suits you all borrowed to make more, so future expeditions will be easier. For now though, I would like to make an announcement regarding the suits I let you keep, the personal ones. If you would like modifications in design or color, or need the batteries replaced for the helmet radio or flashlight, feel free to come find me at Ferrite's Town Hall. If I'm not in, leave a message with my secretary. Thank you!"

A radio broadcast would interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for a little announcement!

The Toro Times news would be reporting of a mysterious garbage thief in Aurelia! Yes, garbage. One night your trash can is full, and the next it’s clean as a whistle! While the motive is unknown, citizens are advised to keep a close eye on their trash if they don’t want it stolen.

In other news, an influx of slime has been seen covering the streets of the city as well. The cause of this is unknown, though it seems to be slowly growing exponentially in amount over time. Citizens are advised to watch where they step.

[A handdrawn poster is posted all around toro.]
"Come on down to carmine desert for a barbecue hosted by me, Josh. There'll be music, games, food for all, and drinks for all. If you like free food, come to Carmine Desert (friday, 6:30 est). Or don't, like I care."

Jigglypuff Radio Station cut in with a special announcement. The radio silently buzzes static for a few moments before quiet muttering could be heard, followed by a young girl's voice.

"Hmm? It's on? Oh!"

The voice cleared her throat, then began speaking with an excessive amount of energy.

"Hellooooo, Toro!~ I'm sure many of you are wondering what this is, and who I am! Well, I am the wonderous, the majestic, the mystical Layla Rose, magician extraordinaire! And this is an announcement for my unofficial debut! Come see me perform the deadly Water Torture Escape later this season at Jigglypuff Park! Don't worry about buying a ticket, this performance is on the house. I hope to see you there!~"

Layla giggles and the announcement cuts out, returning to the usual radio program.

((Fun little mini event this Thursday at 6:00 PM est.))

Look forward to another fun event tomorrow afternoon. Tyrian's Happy Tides Marine Reserve has something fun planned for everyone to relax after the happenings with the kibo festival. There are rumors of something lurking around tyrians waters however, so what better place to meet up? EVENT AT 7PM EST!!



Vernon — 08/06/2019 11:11 AM
A little notice from Ria!
[An official notice from the Tyrian Mayor’s office is delivered to every resident of Tyrian, and everyone associated with the nearby guild and Happy Tides Employees.]

Resident or Associate of Tyrian,

As a few may already be aware, construction projects are taking shape within the city with the moving of the radio tower. We thank you for your patience as these projects move forward. Several buildings are going to receive a facelift with upgraded materials, our beach pavilion will be moved shortly, and the beach itself will return to its appearance from our 50th anniversary, boardwalk included.

However, not all progress can be made as smoothly as we are used to. This notice is to inform you that on [Friday, August 9th], the abandoned original town hall will be demolished. While we do have experts on the scene, please keep yourself at a safe distance, and place all nervous pokemon into their pixelballs. The Happy Tides Reserve will receive temporary staff to ensure the health of the pokemon currently within your location. Guild members are asked to return to your guild on that day to help your Guildmaster with any nervous pokemon in your area, as well. Wild pixelmon are to be taken care of, but it is best to avoid the savannah just to be safe.

Thank you once more for your patience and understanding. The removal of the old town hall will pave way for a new project I am certain Tyrian, as well as all of Toro, will enjoy. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at my office or at home as always.

Arik Penn, in association with Gold Star Construction Co.

---------

So yeah, Friday the 9th at 5:30 EST, there will be a mini event of stuff getting blown up.
---------------------------------------------------

[An official notice from the Tyrian Mayor’s office is delivered to every resident of Tyrian, and everyone associated with the nearby guild and Happy Tides Employees.]

Resident or Associate of Tyrian,

Due to an Ultra Beast situation, please disregard previous notice regarding demolition. We thank all the strong, resilient trainers who assisted us in our time of need. For now, we ask all citizens please avoid [streets] until the area is cleaned and repaired.

Any questions, concerns, or grievances, please contact me at my home or office, as always.

Notices would be put up all over Toro, some being in mail, others not. They all were the same though! An invitation of sorts! What was this!? The mythical Toro Wedding has appeared?

For those of you who have some trouble reading the script font, Join us for the wedding of Hiba Luna Knighton and Dionysus Vincent Ross on Autumn 12th, 1078 (August 13th (Tuesday) , at 7 PM EST) South of the Solrock Clock Tower, south of Cobalt!

A Reception will follow at Ferrite Polytechnic University, with food and potential entertainment!

Dress is casual, so you don't have to get all dolled up for this! Though you can if you're weird like that.

Gifts, while not required, are very much appreciated by the Bride.

⛱ The nighttime End -of- Summer Beach Party is in full swing! ⛱
The festivities will be starting in 10 minutes



Sn0w — 08/12/2019 7:06 PM

On TV, there’s another Paraspace Research Initiative announcement featuring Celeste as before, addressing the camera directly.

“Fellow citizens- we are once again ready to explore another world, and again I am calling on your help. This next expedition should involve a less dangerous Paramon, but I would encourage all volunteers to remain vigilant and not undertake this lightly. We will meet at the same site as before at the end of this season. Equipment will again be provided. If all goes well, this will be the next step toward peace. I look forward to taking it with all of you.”

Event this Saturday, August 17th, at 7:30PM Eastern Time. Hope to see you there!

To go along with ^

The Suit Template is still here! It's at the lowest resolution, so all you need to do is apply your skin as a layer beneath it! For this skin, a chiseled helmet will be provided! If you decided to go with your own design, that's perfectly fine! You're also free to make your own edits to the skin. A lot more freedom is allowed this time around!

I want to note that ICly, only the people who are going into Paraspace are getting these suits! And there's really nothing about them special except they'll protect you from Paraspace's environment. THESE ARE NOT THE ROSS SUITS for you veteran players.

If you can't figure out how to layer your images in something like GIMP or Photoshop, ask a member of staff to help you.

If you want little gizmos to go with it, you need to talk to me as well. We can always say you spoke with Dion long before this.

NOTE: IF YOU'RE MAKING COLOR CHANGES, LET ME KNOW, THAT WAY WE CAN GET YOU A HELMET COLOR CHANGE! The helmets are chiseled, so I'd prefer you come talk to me about what colors you're using so I can pull the colors from existing textures so I can make it match!

A message from Carmine Community Radio informs citizens that the Carmine Dance Academy is now open! You can contact dance teacher Pierre St. Clair to book a lesson, or come to an open dance class, the dates and times of which will be advertised prior to the classes themselves.

Posters and word of mouth has spread news of Aaron's Spring Party! -- Beach/swimwear is acceptable, but bring a spare set of clothes, as you'll be going into the forests.
The spring season has brought us into some new days, so why don't we celebrate and give back to nature with a springy beach festival of sorts? We can plant some berries to boost the ecosystem in the nearby forest!
Head over to the beach by Adamas and maybe bring a few snacks to share with some others! Because you're in for a day of fun and excitement! With all kinds of fun things to see and do, including:
-A magic show
-A musical number
-A chance to show off your talents and test your skills with a fun little game!
-And much more!

So please come on down tomorrow and celebrate spring! You won't get this chance for at least another year!

P.S If you have any enquiries, please see Aaron Blues for more information!


Starting at 3:30PM EST - Tomorrow! September 1st! - Can be pushed back to 5pm EST if need be!

BREAKING NEWS: The town of Canvas is suffering a blackout, and will be without power for the next few days! Witness reports say the cause was some type of Paramon - though the threat will be dealt with. Work is being done constantly to get power back up, but be prepared for no electricity for those of you living there!

"Hola Perras!" A charismatic young voice comes over an ad break on Carmine Community Radio. "My name is Eevee Nieves and I'm one of Carmine's resident artists, and I'm looking to diversify my portfolio! If you wanna get your portrait made, or have a place that's super special to you and you want me to draw, just call me at (XXX) XXX-XXX. We can discuss prices individually. I look forward to hearing from you all!"



Sn0w — 09/11/2019 3:56 PM
There's another announcement from the Paraspace Research Initiative, featuring Celeste, this time just by radio and print.

"Greetings again, Toro. We will be setting out once again for Paraspace soon, this time to the home of PA-03 'Blade.' We will be setting up instruments for mapping portal appearances. Volunteers are again welcome. Because this mission will be especially critical to our efforts to end the ongoing crisis, and because PA-03 and its home are particularly lethal, you must be prepared to proceed with caution if you choose to volunteer. The atmosphere of PA-03's home has a high oxygen concentration. As a result, Fire-type moves will not be safe for ordinary use. Gravity there is about 122% of Earth's. We can only guarantee 3 sets of protection for Pokemon per volunteer this time, so choose wisely. Volunteers should show up at the PRI outpost on the southern island at 6:30 PM on Autumn 27.

As always, thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we will protect Toro's future."

-----------------

Event this Saturday, September 14th, at 6:30 Eastern Time! Hope to see you there!

A confident, Kalon-accented voice comes on the radio as the latest song ends. "Hello, Toro! Tori Penn here with some great news! The Aurelia Gym is officially re-opening on the First of Winter! We have a crate full of shiny new badges and a fresh coat of paint, and I'll be accepting any challengers that want to start on their gym journey! I hope to see people there!" As the announcement ends, the next song comes on.

The Aurelia Gym will be re-opening tomorrow, September 15th at noon EST. There isn't going to be any fancy party, but there will be gym badges!

A radio advertisement plays every so often during ad space! The voice was none other than Dionysus Ross!

Attention all scientists! The Ferrite Public Labs are now open for rent! Yes that's right! Even though Ferrite is still under construction, the Public Labs were a top priority and we've just finished putting all the finishing touches on the building! Rent for labs start at 1.5k a season! As my own way of saying 'thank you for your patience' this entire Winter season is free. (So you won't pay rent until Summer Season).

If you'd like to rent a place, come talk to me in my office in Town Hall! I still don't have a secretary yet, so just check with the Mismagius at the desk outside my door to see if it's okay to come in! If you don't see her, look again, she's very tiny.

Some may have noticed eerie skies over the old wasteland in between Aurelia and Cobalt, with some spooky looking carriages heading inside... thankfully, you'll have an answer for why! The Candy Festival has returned to Toro, and it's bigger than ever! Not only is there games and all the free candy you could eat, but a spooky circus has come to town as well!

The festival will be in the week of October 6th to October 12th, with the opening event being at 6:30 PM EST on the 6th, with events daily at the festival, or circus shows! There will also be a costume contest on the 12th at 6:30 PM EST, with a very special prize to the best costume and performance!

An urgent update from the Paraspace Research Initiative, this time a press release described on the news rather than a taped announcement, explains that the home realm of the creatures that destroyed Ferrite has been discovered, that it may be the source of the entire crisis, and that volunteers are needed in four days for an expedition like before.

Ghosts are attacking town hall! Come help fight them off!



Stow — 10/29/2019 9:00 PM
Breaking News: The city of Aurelia is currently overrun with ghosts! The cause? The Giratina Doors were blown upon by one 'Elizabeth Wakefield', who swore vengeance on the city and its mayor and co-mayor. Mayor Juliet gave this as a comment:

"The important thing now is to make sure everyone is safe. Staying inside for the time being is requested, and i'll be putting a temporary curfew on the city for everyone's safety, as Ghosts tend to get more active during the night. If you need to leave home, please do so with a Pokemon or any other sort of partner if you can."

The ghost Pokemon seem to be sticking to the shadows, but a good few seem to be roaming the streets and pulling pranks - though some violent ones seem to want to pick fights. Remember to always have a buddy with you if you're on the streets, folks!

In other news, the opening of the Giratina Doors also released the souls of humans as well! So perhaps you may be visited by a loved one during this time period? Stay vigilant, folks!

Advertisements/sign-up sheets start floating around for dinners and workshops, hosted at the Little Pines Campground, hosted by Nikko Bryant!

[ Hey @everyone! This is Toro’s yearly holiday/winter event. For those of you that are new to Toro, the annual winter event usually lasts quite a bit of time (in this case a week) and presents fun opportunities for characters to meet each other and make connections. Each day will have a workshop (hosted by a member of our wonderful community,) as well as a wrap-up every evening. At the same time, the Little Pines Campground will be dressed for cozy winter activities, such as sipping cocoa in front of a fire, enjoying hot food, and even roasting marshmallows (indoors of course!) There are also less cozy activities available, like snowball fights, snow forts, and any other manner of activities that you can conceive with the characters you meet, or the characters you already know!

The event will last from this Sunday, December 1st, until Saturday, December 7th, and lodging, food, and general admittance to all workshops will be free to your characters. You are encouraged to stay at the camp for the whole week to interact with the community as much as possible! Workshop sign-ups are available here: https://forms.gle/vtYucGWDoocyAwEt6

Note: please use the above link to sign up for the workshops! This allows the people running the workshop to prepare for the number of people showing up, and also helps you to mark your calendar for the event! ]

Emergency broadcasts have gone out across Toro via radio and television warning that Toro is currently besieged by an enormous snowstorm, with dangerously high winds and enormous snowfall. Little Pines is currently functioning as a shelter thanks to a 'shield,' and citizens wishing to enter can report to the bridge over Twin Falls, where they will be ushered through the barrier. For safety's sake, those inside will not be allowed to leave. Otherwise, citizens are encouraged to shelter in place and avoid going out as much as possible.

--------ooc----------

Hi everyone! For our winter event we're doing something cozy by bringing everyone together. This event is meant to provide rp and meetings that might not otherwise easily happen. You are encouraged to come to Little Pines and join the fun. For anyone who doesn't, understand that the outside isn't really safe right now. We won't be telling you that your character is trapped and sending rescue teams if you get stuck in the snow- because this event is focused on rp at Little Pines- but your characters would not be able to continue business as usual. Let us know if you have any questions.

The whipping noises of the storm die down in the dead of night. Those inside the massive dome over Little Pines wake up in the morning to find that the storm that had been beating on the shield that protected them had finally cleared, leaving a wonderful wintery wonderland outside their sanctum. A few hours later that day, said shield dropped, allowing the inhabitants to leave once again, and return home safely.

Hey! Thanks for coming to our Wintery Bottle Event! Hope you guys have some cozy warm skins ready because a good portion of Toro has been iced over! Enjoy some wintery shenanigans! Happy Holidays!

Several Communications Channels, such as newspapers, radios, and TV programming would now carry an announcement from the RTMP.

"Attention all citizens. This is an important bulletin from the RTMP. Be on the look out for a man named Jake Lashley. Jake Lashley is a man in his twenties, with blonde hair, green eyes, and a large burn scar on the right side of his face. He is wanted for multiple charges, including assault and the kidnapping of Lizette Wilde. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Jake Lashley or Lizette Wilde, please contact the RTMP immediately. We advise people not to engage Jake Lashley directly, as he may be dangerous."

Vernon — 12/14/2019 2:53 PM
====OOC====

To supplement the above here's a little message from Zey, who is in charge of this.

Friendly Warning:
While the energetic response and urge to interact with Jake is appreciated, don't forget that he is a criminal, and dangerous. Character deaths will not be enforced in the slightest, but Jake will try to attack people who confront him.

If you wish to interact with Jake, feel free to look for him. Just remember, if you aren't careful, an encounter with him as he is could lead to a hospital trip.


Chaos — 12/14/2019 6:04 PM
On similar news networks, Dr. Mielke posts a little bit of a PSA:
Especially as tensions are high in the region, we must all stay compassionate and understanding in our interactions with others, especially those struggling with mental health - which can be a largely invisible or barely visible problem. In all cases except for immediate danger, please: think before you act. Consider the lives of every person involved before making an action or choice that could have permanent consequences, for yourself or others. Words and actions carry weight that you must bear as a responsible human being in this life. Care for each other. Be kind to each other. If not for the sake of others, then at the least for your own sake.

Thank you.

" Come one come all to the Auran Knights Game Store, where you can find all your gaming/decorative needs, Need music? Done! Need Little figurines? Sure! But wait there's more! Remember that you can buy a new product called Tinybloxx here! Every Tinybloxx set is made in limited quantity with some pieces never being rereleased again! So act now!
-- Located in the Aurelia Department Store. --"

Several Communications Channels, such as newspapers, radios, and TV programming would now carry ANOTHER announcement from the RTMP.

"Attention all citizens. This is an important bulletin from the RTMP. Be on the look out for a man wearing a costume, and a Duskull Mask. He may or may not be referring to himself as 'The Hollow Man'. We have strong evidence to suspect him to be Jake Lashley. If you see this man, like with Jake Lashley, do not engage him, as he may be dangerous. Instead, please contact the RTMP immediately.

Furthermore, if you have information on the whereabouts of Noelane Akahoshi Santiago, Lizette Wilde, or Jake Lashley, please contact the RTMP immediately."
Further re-broadcastings of this message specifically mention to NOT BOTHER Shiv Warden.

When the radio and tv changes back to news later that night, there's a different face and voice than the normal speakers. It's RTMP Commissioner Harvey Garrett, looking every inch the grieving 80-something year old man he is. His voice is solemn as he speaks.
"Police Officer Tomias Miller was killed yesterday in Drystone Cave while attempting to arrest a wanted fugitive.

"The RTMP had received information that the wanted subject, Jake Lashley, was in the lowest area of Drystone Cave within the Toro Desert. Members of the Regional Toro Mounted Police located the subject within the cave and attempted to take him into custody. During the arrest the man attacked the officer directly, resulting in his death when Officer Miller took a Hyper Beam directly to protect civilians.

"Officer Miller had served with the RTMP for eight years and has been posthumously promoted to the rank of Senior Police Officer. He is survived by his fiancée and young daughter. He will be missed by all of us.

"Please, if you see a criminal, don't rush in. Lives are at stake, and it's important to remember that every life is important. Call the RTMP, and stay safe."
The TV fades to black before resuming the normal news.



Vernon — 12/18/2019 9:58 PM
Another RTMP Bulletin was sent out. The voice on the other end was none other than that of Edgar Penn's. He spoke firmly, cutting through the static silence of the radio or TV.

"Attention Toro. It has come to my attention that more and more people are donning masks, in an attempt to 'Empower' themselves to fight crime. I would like to remind everyone doing so of a few things. Firstly: A mask does not give you power. You have no reason to wear it if you have nothing to hide. Secondly: the act of Masked Vigilantism is illegal- unless you are registered with the RTMP, at which point we recommend you join up with us. Thirdly: Wearing a Mask, registered with the RTMP or not, does not make you less of a civilian. You have no authority, and we will prosecute you with extreme prejudice if you are caught breaking the law. For those of you masked and unregistered, consider not wearing the masks and joining the RTMP. Otherwise come make yourselves known to us. For those of you registered: Please still consider joining the RTMP. At this point we'd appreciate more help. Thank you. Have a good day."

An RTMP bulletin would go out over various media channels. Once again, it was the voice of Edgar Penn. He still sounded exhausted.
[!] "Attention citizens of Toro. It is with great pleasure that I can announce that we have taken the criminal at large, Jake Lashley, into custody. In addition, we have found both Noelane Santiago and Lizette Wilde, and both are safe, and healthy. We'd like to thank everyone who assisted the RTMP with tips, phone calls, reports, and so on. We hope that everyone has a good day.

A small mini-event will be starting in 10 minutes! [ 7:05pm ] EST
" Hello People of Toro! We are getting reports of small tremors between Adamas and Galena, while it doesn't seem to be anything of major threat, we are advising hikers and you cave explorers to be extra careful on your trips. Be safe! "
So stop by the Galena Freyalise entrance to the cave ( in the lower levels ) and join the exploration part!

⚙️ After several years following its destruction, the City of Ferrite has made significant strides in reconstruction. With new architecture and new focus, Ferrite has been able to create itself a new look! However we're far from done! We have many new ideas we'd like to implement, and buildings that need finishing yet! We'd like to ask you all to come for a charity event for Ferrite in Adamas! (On Friday, January 31st, 2020 @ 7:30PM EST) We'll be having live music- a multi battle tournament, and an auction!

In addition, we encourage all researchers to come and present their work for us! Talk about what you do- what you're studying!

For you non-scientists, you're free to do something like a Science Fair! If we like what we see- maybe something good will happen!

Donators above a certain threshold will be allowed to name a street in Ferrite! (As a disclaimer: We may contact you about the name if we feel it's inappropriate or doesn't fit.)
[ Check the post for battle rules! ]

-Note- Ferrite's charity event was rescheduled for Saturday, Feburary 8th!

An intriguing radio announcement appears!

"Attention, all exploring enthusiasts! My crew and I have pinpointed where we believe to be an ancient Groudonist Priests tomb to be, but it's buried under the desert! We need any and all volunteers interested to help dig down and uncover it. As compensation, you will be welcome to claim a portion of whatever fossils you may dig up, and whatever other artifact you may find! We'll be meeting at the entrance to the desert in Carmine on the 24th, if you are interested!"

----------------------

We're doing another fossil event! You'll be able to dig and possibly find a fossil for you to revive and claim for your very own (and maybe some other cool trinkets)! Of course, there are a few rules to follow.

1) Please dig at a reasonable pace! This is a RP event, so we do want people... well, RPing during this. It wouldn't be too fun if we just dug up the entire thing super quick without any dialogue.
2) You will be allowed to claim two fossils, no more than that. Any extra you dig up will be placed into a chest at the dig site. If you don't get a fossil you want through the ones you do dig up, you will be allowed to exchange the one you have for another in the chest (or trade with another person). As for the other artifacts you might find, you can keep as many as you find (don't be greedy if you get more than one, though)!
3) Have fun! This will be at 6:30 EST on Saturday!

It'd be a normal broadcast of JSR when a new portion came on!
"Hello there folks, bringing you a new segment we're trying. It's to showcase different cultures and customs from regions other than Toro! Today we're giving the mic over to a monk from Tiānguo region! This is small reclusive region nestled in the mountain scape above Kanto, a beautiful culture! Just recently they celebrated the start of a new cycle! To explain more here is a monk Shi!"

The mic rustles as the monk takes over,
"Hello Toro Region, I'm honored to be here and to explain the culture of our people to you! As said, a brand new cycle has started. Each cycle has a specific pokemon attached to it, this new cycle that we entered belongs to Rattata! But various pokemon that are considered rat and mice like are also used to symbolize the new cycle, such as Pikachu or Dedenne! I could go on and explain more but I don't want to take up too much time, if you do have any questions I will be in Toro for the rest of the season. Speaking of which, there will be a special present to celebrate this new cycle! So everyone enjoy the season and let's have a great time!"

------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Chinese New Year! It's a day late, but better than nothing!
Starting tomorrow you'll be able to do /kit ChineseNewYear to get a celebration package that will include a lore item as well as a very special and pink Minccino (I figured this would be a cuter mascot for the year of the rat instead of rattata.) So have a great year of the rat everyone and hope you enjoy the little present!

A strange broadcast would play across the radio one late night...

Toro, there is no need for introductions for you know who we are, we are what lurks in the shadows and in the corners silently watching. However, this will no longer be the case. Do not become complicit in the life style you have been living, the tranquillity of peace will shatter. Soon, events will be set into motion that no one will be able to stop. The final pieces we will acquire by force, if it's deadly or not will be up to you Toro. We may not fully be at our full glory, but there is one last angel on our side that will guide us to redemption. We will be in touch Toro, the hell fire of Team Neo Noir will rain down upon your towns.

The transmission would be cut off abruptly and the broadcaster on the radio would apologize to his listeners before resuming normal broadcasting.

Radio and print ads circulate, print ads signed "NB" and featuring the Solstice Club's sunflower symbol embossed in the corner.

Solstice, Toro's premier jazz club and bar, opens once again this Friday, February 7th at 7pm EST. With return performances from Riley Dashwood and Callie Holiday, be sure to stop by Carmine this Friday for magic and music that's sure to excite!

Note: due to time constraints for our performers, the event will start **at 7pm sharp!** If you'd like to make it to see Riley (the first performer,) be sure to arrive on time!

An advertisement comes on Carmine Community Radio, notifying all of Toro of an upcoming event
“In the spirit of romance, Carmine Dance Academy will be holding a special ballet class [[This Sunday Afternoon, Feb 16]]. Current couples are encouraged to come, and singles will be paired up— and maybe even find a little romance themselves. Contact instructor Pierre St. Clair to sign up!”

News throughout Toro would announce the official opening of the Paraspace Research Institute on Autumn 16 ((February 27 at 6:30PM Eastern- if I made an error in the Toro date go with the OOC time))! Come see the new facility, learn about Institute programs, and enjoy the cafe and artwork!

Hi everyone! Apologies for the short notice. For anyone who might not be able to make it I want to stress that this is part of a ‘postgame’ of sorts for the Paramon arc, which will not primarily be event-driven. If you want to get involved, tomorrow will not be any more or less important a date to doing so than any other.

[RTMP]

A notice goes out over various radio channels during Ad Space. It runs more than once, so it's very likely your character probably heard it.

"Attention citizens of Toro, I am Detective Edgar Penn with the RTMP. We'd like to ask anyone who's received a strange letter, perhaps delivered by Spearow, to please contact the RTMP immediately. Even if the letter seems like a prank, please notify us. Thank you."



Salsa — 03/27/2020 6:18 PM
A generic radio host would come on!

"In today's news folks, Ferrite announces the grand opening of it's new museum! The grand opening will feature guided tour along with a Q and A of it's new Curator. Don't miss out!"



Vernon — 03/28/2020 9:42 PM
At 3:30 PM EST, on Saturday, April 4th, 2020, a very special and important announcement will be made on top of Ferrite University's rooftop, hosted by Dion Ross and Ray Knighton! We welcome everyone! Snacks and drinks will be provided!

A Breaking News broadcast from the Toro Times would interrupt your scheduled radio program!

"Attention, all citizens, this is an Emergency News Bulletin. As of now, the RTMP and city of Aurelia is telling everyone to to avoid Butterfree Boulevard. An attack by the terrorist group Neo Noir brought down the PixCo. Company building just hours ago. There is little remaining of what stood before, and the area is still covered in a thick cloud of smoke. Under order of the RTMP, all civilians are to avoid the area until the area is cleared and an investigation is completed. Casualties are unknown at this time. We will update you as we learn more. Stay safe."

With that, the broadcast ends.
