RP Plot
Katarina was a constantly growing port city that was the hub of civilization in the Zatao region. The newest addition to this city's list of attractions was a museum featuring rare fossils and rocks.
Many gathered to browse through the ancient fossils of their pokemon's ancestors. However, the main point of interest was not in the rare pokemon fossils. A majority of the visitors came to catch a glimpse at the rock that is rumored to be a sleeping Jirachi. The rock was originally excavated from the Unova region and later brought to Zatao to attract interest to the new museum branch.
After catching a quick glimpse of the unmoving rock, many left. A sleeping legendary was more boring than most expected. It was...just a rock. Many even claimed the museum was ripping them off because how could a rock ever turn into a Jirachi? It didn't even look like one!
But one day, almost out of the blue, a mist spread out from the museum and soon engulfed Katarina. Perhaps something had awoken the sleeping Jirachi. Where else could this mysterious mist have come from? Every human caught up in the mist seems to have just disappeared - although the pokemon remained unaffected. The bustling city of Katarina turned dead silent besides the howl of lonely pokemon searching for their lost human friends. The mist continues to obscure all attempts at entering and leaving the city - just as someone or something tries to enter through the mist, they find themselves walking in circles back to their original location.
Roughly a day after the initial expansion of the mist, a large mansion appeared in place of the museum. Some pokemon, feeling a vague trace of their trainers inside, disappeared to explore the new location. None have returned.
The main question everyone is wondering of course is: where is your character?
They are on the verge of existing yet not existing. Their very existence is quickly fading. The mist does not seem to approve of their existence, but the human will has proven very difficult to get rid of. To survive, it has found refuge in a realm quite close to the physical one, yet quite different.
The dream world.
Your character wakes up on an island of clouds and is wondering, just like you, what the heck just happened. Most only remember seeing a heavy mist envelop them before fading into unconsciousness. Curious, your characters may investigate their surroundings only to find that they are walking on clouds that are somehow solid enough to carry your weight. They don't quite want to question how THAT works as long as it keeps working.
There are several other characters scattered about the island. Some are still sleeping and some have woken up looking just as confused as your character is. There is also a sizable cottage in the far side of the island but the door is locked and the blinds are shut. No one seems to be home.
This is where your adventure begins.
How do Extrasensory RP Events work?
We will basically all be posting in a large thread together. There may be over 10 people posting at once and there will NOT be any posting order. It's a great chance for your character to interact with other characters. You will most often be assigned suggested groups to RP together with so that you won't get drowned out in posts - you can mostly pay attention to your fellow group members. A staff member (most likely FFN) will, in varying intervals, post prompt-like posts that will direct the RP plot and your characters will react to the changes and can give their own input.
On random occasions, most often during metaplot hours, some pokemon may appear in the plot and you will have the option of throwing a pokeball to catch the pokemon (I will indicate when you may throw a pokeball). All you have to do is type a short RP response of your character throwing a pokeball and then post this code:

[size=24]GO POKEBALL![/size][/color]
[size=24]GO POKEBALL![/size][/color]
Just remember, you can only catch ONE pokemon during the whole RP event. This does not include the legendary at the end though. More rare pokemon are also probably going to be based on quick RP prompts which you will have slightly more time to prepare a response to.
