@Mystic Zander : It's active and accepting to the best of my knowledge, because I requested to join in ten days (which was ten days ago), and Pumpkin acknowledged and accepted that I would be coming. Provided, of course, that I make an acceptable application. Most recently ("recent" to me being less than 48 hours ago), the trainers arrived in Pewter City, and were challenged in a cafe by Hana(bi), the Rock-type (and Grass-type) Gym Leader. Thus far, only Archer/Mango137 has taken her up on it. Everyone else is down with heat stroke / roleplay fatigue, and have been for over a week now.
@Von Pumpkin : Your gym battle scene has been going for eight days now. As I mentioned in my last email to you, I wish to take on whatever role suits the plot best. I suggest that a change of scenery and an increased pace is in order, so let me know what you'd like from me. I'm ready to roll, and keep rolling until the story is over. Once you've answered, my next post ought to be my joining application.
