Zoe walked into the dark, damp shed. She realised very few people got nice living conditions in BanLand, if anyone got them, that is. She turned around, and faced the Mareep. Neatly, she sat on her own paws. Don't tell why you're banned. Just tell her why you're at the Berry Farm Zoe told herself. If the Mareep found out why she was banned, she would probably run away, because she seemed so.... innocent. But then, she probably did too. Zoe went ahead, and told her about her unfair judging.

"So, then they decided to put me here, at minimum wage."Zoe finished. "You mentioned a strange portal? Weird. I just woke up here..."

Title: Day 5, Saturday

No lock? No password? Not even at least a "Keep Out" warning?

Sapphire paused. This was the thing that would change the rest of her life. She needed to know what to say.

And what about Mismagius? Should she bring her?

No, she told herself. I can't risk getting caught on the way.

Nervously, she pushed the door open.

The bedroom was just as large as the huge room she had first entered, and with them same glass ceiling.

A large chandelier (perhaps even larger than the previous one) hung in the centre of the room as well, but this one was made of bones and skulls, not glass. The floor was made of rough stone tiles, with a black carpet with grey patterns. An enormous bed (also made of bones) with the same pillow and sheet pattern as the carpet sat in the corner. Various portraits and vases on side tables were also there. The room was so dark that she could only barely see anything.

Slightly alarmed by the macabre appearance of the room, Sapphire moved very slowly into the room.

However, as soon as she entered, the door closed. Everything started becoming darker. She tried to open the door, tried to create some fire with magic to light up the room, tried to do something...

But eventually the room completely vanished from sight. And all was dark.

"Ouch!"

Sapphire awoke and found that a large branch had fallen off and hit her on the head, waking her up.

Wait... A branch!?

She sat up and saw grey trees surrounding her. A grey sky stretched above, and she had been laying down on a ground full of grey dirt.

She was outside the city.

Getting to her feet excitedly, she tried to generate a portal to go home. However, each portal she generated still collapsed instantly.

Then she noticed a small strip of paper on the ground. Picking it up, there were only two words, written on in bright red ink.

"Find it."

It's...
I just
I'm a Grammar Nazi, okay?

It's is 'it is'
Its is something that 'it' owns or is associated with

It's strange how hardcore Banland is.

Yeah, and how its king is so mysterious, and rarely comes out of his castle, let alone his own room.


Yeah.. I just saw a lot of posts that only said it's, even when it didn't apply. It activated my inner Grammar Nazi.


Anyway, my "actual" reason i use as an excuse for this post is that I wanted to say that I won't be making RP posts for a while because, well, I'm kind of in prison... Nothing spectacular is supposed to happen for a while, and I just wanted to say that in case anyone wondered about my sudden lack of posting.
...though, it should be obvious anyway.

(OOC: Uh, I'm pretty sure I've never made that mistake, and if I did, it was a typo since I never mix up it's and its. Like ever.

:T)

"Well...that doesn't make much sense..." Meep stared at her red tail-bulb, which was yellow for normal Mareep. Her wool sparkled slightly in the sunlight. "Do you thing that's why I'm here?"

---

"Hmmm, that's very possible" mused Zoe. "I still believe it is unfair."

Title: Seraph, the judge is kind tho

(Buuuuuut Serapppppphhhhh the Slaking Judge slacks in cruelty :L and you're already in a giant prison .3.)

---

Meep continued, "So now what? Do we escape? I find it quite okay here...I guess?"

---

"It's not so bad, I guess," admitted Zoe. "but I hate that the Pokémon here think the way I look is a crime." Zoe finished sadly.

Title: ...Day...4?

Dash inwardly fumed. All he wanted was to be free from this stupid trial and move on! Alas, it couldn't be helped. Slakings were just too lazy.

"HURRY IT U-" Dash started to yell, but only earned a slap in the face by his Machamp guards. "Silence! You will speak only when the judge tells you to!"

The Slaking yawned and shook its head. "Uh, where was I? Oh, yes. This...criminal...h...as...zzz...zzz..."

* * *

It was finally over. Luckily, the Doublade had gotten off with only a few short slaps and the punishment of picking berries at minimum wage, at the Berry Farm #2. He didn't understand; that was where he was in the first place. Perhaps it was a bit good that his judge had been so lazy.

Eye(s) drooping, he made his way over to the farm. It was almost noon, but all he wanted to do was sleep. He passed a shed with a Mareep and Zorua in it. Thinking nothing of it, he dropped down and went to sleep.

"Yep. I wonder what other crimes are there... Are you hungry? I've got way too many Haban berries here," Meep wondered, before gesturing to the pile of Haban berries.

---

"Thank you!" Zoe murmured "I.... I don't know how I'm going to makes it through this. I feel..... angry, I suppose. It's so unfair!" Zoe exclaimed, before neatly tucking her legs underneath her body, and taking neat bites of a Haban Berry.

Title: Day 4: Saturday- Judgement

(oh look i'm back)


"WAKE UP! It's time for judgement." A warden roared through the microphone. Axew jumped up, alarmed. "Wha..?"
"IT'S TIME TO GO!" the warden repeated. Axew wiped his dry tears off his face, "I'm free?" he asked, about to smile. "NO YOU MORON! You were only here temporarily while the court was fully occupied. If you actually payed attention to what I told you earlier, rather than yapping about being framed, you would know that." Axew's smile died down, "Well.. I listened to how the prison has all these floors, and how each-"
"Shut up." the cell door opened, and the warden (Seismatoad) grabbed Axew. While walking, Axew's eyes met with Suicune's sad, droopy eyes. "Why did you put me all the way down here if it was only temporary? Why not keep me at a higher floor or in some sort of cell up at the entrance?" Axew asked, going up an elevator to the entrance floor. "... ... We used to do that... that was a mistake."

They arrived at the entrance floor, and walked outside, on their way to the court.

Finally reaching it, they walked in. Seismatoad stopped, and turned around. "I gotta get back to the control center, you'll find your way around-- it's an extremely straight-forward route in here." and with that, he exited the building.
Axew walked around, and immediately reached a courtroom. Guards woke up the Slaking judge to notify him of the next judgement. "Wow, that was really easy." Axew mumbled.

"Alright... uhhh, Axew Gizflow... you.." the Slaking dozed off. "What? Axew.. Gizflow. Axew Gizflow? Axew Gizflow.. that my name? Is.. is that my name? Axew Gizf-" he was cut off. "YES THAT'S YOUR NAME. SHUT UP!" a guard screamed in aggravation, waking up Slaking and gaining attention from other guards, giving him blank looks. "What? This kid is really annoying."

"AXEW GIZFLOW. You are here for.. umm. You.. YOU are here for attempting escape of Banland. You came here originally for reverse-aging as well as aging many, many Pokemon and people of your world, and thus killing them, or otherwise inflicting much damage to their lives. You have reportedly lost your own memory, but here in Banland we don't cut much slack... slack... why is that so fun to say? We don't cut much slack.. slack... We don't.. wait.. err, what was I saying?" Slaking seemed to have fallen asleep again. The guards facepalmed, and poked Slaking. "Yes, I'm awake... Even with amnesia you still must face full punishment for what you did. In your defense, however, you did take down one of Banland's most feared criminals, whom escaped prison thrice in the 8 years he's been here, and for only 1 of those years has he been a captive prisoner. He was originally sent here for- Oh, I'm getting off topic. Well, he was sent here for tearing apart dimensional rifts, linking several together yada yada yada and causing much destruction. Because you miraculously took him down, you are considered great here in Banland, but it doesn't at all excuse you from your punishment. For destroying the lives of countless others, and trying to escape your punishment by running away (even if you do have amnesia), I sentence you to... below the castle." He said firmly, as the whole court gasped.

Axew tried to comphrehend everything he was just told. "What does that mean? Below the castle... WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" Axew freaked out. "It means, young (although only because of your time-manipulative-self) Gizflow, that you are to be placed deep below the king's castle.. forever..
Axew's eye's widened, full of tears.
"Wow, I've never seen the judge stay awake for so long during judgement, he must've really been into this one!" a guard exclaimed.

Title: Day 4: Mission: Failed already.

"So why am I here?" Flygawne was in the courtroom this time. He spent yesterday trying to figure out how to actually get currency since all bounty hunting was doing was reducing his own sentence, and it was barely scratching it. Yet however he was here after receiving a letter at home from the OCC to go to the court early tomorrow to obtain further detail, and that it was mandatory.

"You've destroyed too much stuff to obtain 3 bounties. In your capture of Honedge you destroyed a room, in your capture of a Haunter you shattered a vase, and lastly in your capture of a Lilligant you broke someone's heart." A Drudigon answered Flygawne's question.

"What do you mean I broke someone's heart?! I didn't charm anyone there!" Flygawne whined.

"No, I mean you seriously broke someone's heart. You knocked over a golett who finished an art rehabilitation project and they made a clay heart, poor thing made robotic crying noises for 30 minutes." The Drudigon held up a plastic bag with a bunch of broken clay bits in it.

"Oh. Can I tell the kid I'm sorry?" Flygawne asked as some Haxorus he saw a few days ago came out to take him indoors to meet the judge.

"Looks like you won't have enough time." The Drudigon said before returning to guard duty.

#GoomDoom

The judge snoozed away as Machamp stood in each corner of the room as some other pokemon sat in the Jury box. Flygawne stood at the podium and waited for the judge to stop sleeping. "Might this be a slacking Slaking?" he mused as his own pun right when the Judge woke up.

"Time for the next sentance, Judge!" A Machamp shouted.

The judge groaned and picked up a folder and tossed it to Flygawne. "I have no reason to explain what's in tha..." He was trailing off and fell asleep mid-sentence.

"Wow, why is this guy the judge anyways?" A Machamp asked the Jury, who just shrugged asking themselves why they were present if this is what'll happen.

Flygawne picked up the folder and looked at it. It was just a standard paper folder, probably vanilla colored if it wasn't grey, and it's title was "Flygon: Punishment". Inside it was a list of all sorts of Flygon who've been to Banland and they were all alphabetically named, nearly all of them were filed under Flygon. Go figure. Near the front of the list though was a file for Flygawne and he read through it. He confirmed for good that his reason for being banned was that he's too powerful and his sentance was for 70,000 years originally. That means he has 69,986 years left from his hunting. However that hunting has caused an inconsiderable amount of damage and that was unforgivable to the Judge apparently, so his punishment was to work as a guard in the King's Castle until he can learn to not break things.

"I'm just going to assume I need to say this out loud, my new job is a guard to the king. Whoever that is."

Title: Day 4: Saturday- 100 feet under

"A large room rests 100 feet below the King's castle. It is very rare for anyone to get the punishment of going there, and as such only 11 beings have ever been given the punishment. That is, you're left there for a whole month with limited supply of food, and you have to survive until you get your next bit of food... forever. Many have tried to escape, and all have failed. The area contains an even stronger magical barrier around it than the one around Banland- though that's probably only because it is not nearly as large as Banland. We get there through this secret tunnel in this secret room's secret hatch... Believe me, it's a huge secret. Nobody outside of this court knows of its existence, because only prisoners and us guards know about it- plus the Judge and, I'd imagine, the king."
Axew's Machamp escort explained, right before opening the secret hatch to the secret tunnel, and riding down a minecart thingy all the way down to the dungeon which was kind of like the bank in Harry Potter.

Machamp threw a big bag of food off the cart, and dumped Axew off, into the dark. "There's a light switch somewhere in here... Welp, CYA IN A MONTH!" He rode back up.

Axew was sitting still and silent, sulking.

Interact with the future judge! I have used my time-traveling skills to de-age Judge Slaking into a cute little Slakoth.

---

Meep sighed. She thought aloud, "I wonder is Banland is part of this world or another dimension altogether." She lightly zapped a berry, toasting it. Meep set the toasted berry down and asked, "What can we do now? I heard you can't teleport out like an Abra, nor can we blatantly walk out. Maybe we can dig a tunnel? But the walls of this place may extend into the ground." Meep took the toasted Haban berry and admired it before taking nibbles of it. The Haban berries here tastes much nicer than others. Perhaps she could make some money selling some jam.

Title: Day 5, Saturday

(OOC: I said no legends @patamawne)

I'm going to starve, she realized. After wandering around aimlessly she finally accepted that however she got here, there was no way for her to live. The trees were leafless and probably dead, and there was no food or water in sight. After failing to climb a tree to try to spot the city so she could get caught and thrown in again, she was about the give up.

But instead, she decided to wander some more. There was the tiny shred of hope that she would find the city and be able to live there, and she would grasp it until it died away completely.

A few minutes passed. She roamed around some more.

After pointlessly walking around for half an hour, she gave up. Leaning against a tree, she sighed.

But then she saw something through the mist. Running closer, she saw a rusted gate and gasped.

Zoe mused this thought for a moment before remembering something another banned Pokémon had whispered to her about while waiting for her court sentence. "No it must be anither dimension, because this one Pachirisu I talked to told me she fell into a portal, and that's how she got here. Maybe we should go talk to her."

OOC:

---

Meep sighed. This wasn't really getting anywhere. "I fell into a portal too, remember? A black one. I guess we could talk to the Pachirisu though..."

---

"Lets do that tomorrow...." Zoe murmured, laying down and falling asleep
