Hyacinth's Journal

November 15th, 2024

It's been pretty calm lately, since my boss has been out of town on his pokemon journey. The few times he's dropped by I've noticed he's in a much better mood, and his pokemon team has warmed up to him. I get the feeling this won't last though.
I'm waiting until he catches Groudon so I can steal it back soon after capture. He's got his pokemon storage routed over here through Lanette's box system and keeps all the captured pokemon in what looks like a gallery or a walk-in closet or some shit. they're in their pokeballs most of the time, but sometimes employees are tasked with providing care to them on occasion. Looking through the catalogue of his pokemon, he named all of them after baseball terms, but the most recent ones show he's running out of names to use. For a few of those, it's a pretty wide stretch to connect their names to baseball.
Meanwhile, the alchemy factory is slowly collapsing. Granted it would have happened whether or not I raided it, but it's a good thing I went in and grabbed Amanda and the Light Key before they ran out of grist. I'm doing what I can to make sure those that work in that department get reassigned appropriately.
Despite everything, I do care about the employees. they have lives and livelihoods that are worth saving.

My boss just got back from a meeting with one of the shareholders. It was Bingduc'gogoria the Persistent One. I didn't know he had it in him, but Dylan was able to argue against starting a "terror session", even though the company needs the gristflow. For those that don't know, that's the technical name for sessions like SBARGv1 and the SGRAB session that were centered around massive scale grist extraction.
When I asked him about it, he said it wasn't worth it. I got a feeling he has personal reasons though, probably related to how much he hates the game. I just hope this holds, because even sending a handful of fireproof warriors into the infernal core of the DLC planet pales in comparison to wiping out a world, drafting a thousand of it's inhabitants into godhood, and then wiping their session off the map after all grist is extracted.
