#ultra increase

[aether-foundation-pr]

OFFICIAL PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

(for once this blog is being used for more than just sh*tposting)

It has come to our attention that there has been an increased number of what we call "Fallers" coming to our world. For those unaware, Fallers are people who went to a different universe by accident. Most experience some form of memory loss which can make the job of finding Fallers much more difficult.

Now this would not be an issue on its own as we here at the Aether Foundation had begun work on potential tech to send the fallers back to their homeworlds, and to bring back any who might've left from ours. But with an increase of Fallers also comes an increase of Ultra Beast, for your convinence and safety you can find a list of all currently discovered Ultra Beasts here.

For the safety of the general public, we are temporarily starting the "Aether without Borders" Project, or AWB. Because of the fact that these Fallers and Ultra Beasts have become less condensed to merely just the Alola Region, we are working with officials from other regions to temporarily set up bases of operations for this project.

In terms of what a normal citizen can do to stay safe here is a list of recommended courses of action:

Keep aware of where you are going at all times

Make sure at least one other person knows where you're headed at all times

Alert any sort of officials immediately if you suspect a friend or loved one has gone missing

Do not and I mean DO NOT try and fight any Ultra Beasts head on. Find the closest AWB station and alert them about the Ultra Beast, as they have been trained by our best to handle UBs with and without combat

Help out anyone who you may suspect to be a Faller, before rerouting them to a safe station, Fallers attract UBs due to the lingering Ultra Wormhole energy so these safe stations will be places where they can easily be protected from them.

With all of that said, stay safe until we can locate and stabilize the cause of increased Ultra activity.

OOC info for this!

This is not a proper event, and more of a roleplay prompt than anything. It's generally a mid stakes thing atm but that is a suggestion since you can tweak it to your desires! Do not feel like you need to do anything with this and are some sort of faller blog! This is just a funny thing I decided to write up and thought it would fit nicely on the blog.

The Aether Foundation will make updates on the situation ever so often but it's not something that can be solved in a weekend which is why I said this isn't a proper event.

If you do however want to do anything with the idea I recommend using the tags of either "ultra increase" and/or "Aether without Borders" depending on which aspect you want to use more.

Sing me a dirge the other Rangers at this base are calling the Buzzwole Mr. Beast. And it will not react to any other name. fml

We had a lost child on the beach today. Fortunately we found her pretty easily. She’d gone and run off to the other end of the beach with one of our local disaster kids. With all the ultra wormholes around I always get a bit worried when something like this happens.

announcing: the multiverse signpost

how did i get signed up for this. i only joined here to mess with people

ahem. okay. so as we know there's been a... slight influx of multiversal Fallers lately. and being from different worlds they may well be more disoriented than poke-world Fallers, particularly having no one around who can really explain things to them in a way they can understand.

that's where i come in with the multiverse signpost. see - companies in my universe have been making games, stories, etc. based on a bunch of other worlds - the pokemon world being one of them but not the only one. as such. i'm uniquely positioned to at least try to explain the basics in a way multiversal Fallers will understand, as well as try and link them to other Fallers they may know in their area for safety in numbers. while of course i don't know everything - there's like 20 people in this apartment and we have a search engine and tvtropes. it's likely the legion will be able to find Something of use.

i can also TRY and send basic supplies on request - my multiversal reverse summoner isn't fully optimised, and i can't send pokeworld-specific stuff, but if you want not-quite-legally-obtained hopefully-not-corrupted supplies then just drop me an ask i cannot provide any physical help of any sort outside of basic supplies - can't leave my own universe right now. sorry about that

to contact: drop a ping or ask on rotomblr, or post in #multiverse signpost tag, where i will be posting anything relevant. i will also be posting in #mvsp-[region name] for example #mvsp-alola if you want to find posts where i know the poster is in your region. if you're looking for someone in your region feel free to use that tag too - i won't be keeping an eye on all the regional tags, though, just keep in mind.

(disclaimer: not officially affiliated with @aether-foundation-pr. for more general information for Fallers talk to them - i'm just using specialty knowledge to help where they can't)

(p.s.: if any of you see a weird floating guy with a striped shirt (no, not waldo) please tell him to tell me what the heck's going on >:( hecker's been ignoring my messages. if you know who i'm talking about then your home universe is probably close to mine. pro tip: pokemon are generally friendlier than demons. on average.)

//ooc under the cut

and i intended this blog just to make it easier for me to mess with people IC... lol so much for that

anyway. if i'm hecking with the multiversal folk by knowing their history i might as well use it to help them

all relevant posts will be tagged #multiverse signpost, and anything relating to a specific known region will be tagged #mvsp-[region name], for example #mvsp-alola so you all can find people in your current area if you want to interact i won't specifically be checking the mvsp tags; i will follow #multiverse signpost but particularly at times when i'm AFK you'll get a quicker response if you use ask/ping.

what do you mean multiverse signpost and multiversal summoning program have the same shortened form. i don't know what you're talking about. also will the anguished one ever actually appear in person or will blackthorn just be calling him a hecker? who knows i sure don't

i swear if blackthorn turns into an incarnation of bunnyhood

why is everyone suddenly posting about ubs

RGB Printing is not a thing and it's pissing me off how it's become a marketing thing for printing. Like I understand why, but what it is is just CMYK with added ink colors like orange and green. I know the average person isn't going to understand how that works, but I don't think calling it "RGB" is any better when it's not even true.

It's just 5/6 color process printing!!!!

"b-but the Ultra ego doesn't make sense" "The Ultra ego is contradictory" "What a poorly written thing-"

I DON'T CARE He looked amazing during the battle and this new form was really really cool and that's what matters. Don't blame me, he deserves a lot of attention! He had so many awesome moments in this arc and still collapsed before being able to finish... Let him have his moment to shine without being sidelined all the time 😭

more wormholes and stuff, eh? we allow ‘em at the tree, long as they’re trained of course, but a kid brought a kartana thinking it was a new ferroseed evolution (don’t ask me) but red doesn’t know how to tell them.

-blue

I'd recommend linking them to the Ultra Beast article on Bulbapedia. Kids aren't that dumb.

So, Buzzwole was captured and the backup calmed the local wild population down! It’s currently at the nearest Aether station as unfortunately the wormhole closed. I’ll save the gritty details for the mission report on the slim chance the Union wants to make that public.

There’s word around the Hau’oli City Ranger Base that I’ll get a rank up but I doubt it lmao.

I’m considering working on a Dracula retelling where Dracula is British and (pardon my MCU reference) sort of a Thor: Ragnarok Hela-esque figure trying to bring back “the Good Old Days” of open British imperialism, but I keep getting stuck at how to translate the parts of the plot that rely heavily on Dracula starting on a separate continent (the language barrier, the travel time, etc). basically this is just a little bit of venting/place for suggestions if people want to

feel free to ignore

Ok so update from yesterday

A fucking Faller fell directly on my head while I was walking to work yesterday two days ago (holy fucking Arceus) and I was APPARENTLY out cold for a whole day afterwards. From what I know he used my blog to ask for help, took me the rest of the way to the pokecenter where my coworkers swarmed him bc you know I'm unconscious in this guy's arms, he explains the situation, and someone apparently gives him my address?? And now he's living with me until we can figure out what the fuck to do.

His name is Skel and he looks scarily like me. Like. Almost identical. It's fucking WEIRD. I'm letting him use my blog for now since apparently his phone doesn't work.

Aaaaand there's Rung right on the money!

Ultra magnus banning the autobot x Decepticon porn will cause more problems than it can possibly solve. There's actually a serious social issue going on here, and Can You Guess The Best Way To Solve It? That's right, ending the goddamn war😃

[pippersmcgee]

tried to write a bit where volo won't shut up about the uniqlo heattech turleneck (??) but ended up writing some pretty reasonable real ad copy for it because my work brain took over. that's when you know you have to stop the bit at all costs

Fact check: "poised" is little misleading. The figure (actually $561 billion) is a projection across a 10-year period, and is the expected return on the $80 billion investment across a 10-year period made by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Much of the projected amount is expected as a result of improving voluntary compliance - things like making the process for paying taxes less difficult, improving customer support and sending reminders. The amount expected to be collected from specifically "rich tax cheats" is difficult to parse, but to date amounts to $0.482 billion. Mind you, that number is sure to rise.

The $28.9 billion demand from Microsoft relates to taxes not paid from 2004-2013 and is part of an investigation started under Obama. It was "BREAKING" in October 2023, and both predates and is unconnected to the projected increase in revenues thanks to IRA investment. In my opinion it is misleading that the tweet including the word "BREAKING" is presented without a date, and placed after the $560 billion headline (as that generally suggests it occured subsequently).
