This is an official advisory.
Due to the recent outbreak of Ghost-Types, and what is believed to be a related string of reported possession incidents, the following has been advised:
-Limit unnecessary travel whenever possible. Swarms have been reported in multiple locations, so the more you travel, the greater possible risk of encountering one.
-If you must travel, try to do so only during the daylight hours. Whenever possible, travel in groups. Both of these should hopefully limit the chances of falling victim to one of these creatures
-If you encounter someone you believe to be afflicted by these creatures, remember that your first priority is your own safety. However, if you can do so safely, try to get them to a Pokémon Center for treatment. There has been at least one report of someone exhibiting signs of possession inflicting harm on their own person, and that should be prevented whenever possible.
-If they become hostile, attempt to find help immediately, whether it be another trainer, local law enforcement, or someone else. Do not engage someone you believe to be afflicted by these creatures if you cannot do so in a safe manner. Once again, we strongly emphasize that your first priority should be your own safety, so please seek outside assistance if the situation calls for it.
Due to resource issues, the Bureau is regrettably unable to assist all areas at this time. However, citizens in the greater Goldenrod-Saffron area are encouraged to call any member of the Bureau if they are in need of assistance. To contact an agent of the Bureau for assistance or further information, call any one of the following numbers:
>TRAINER ID: GORDON COLE
>TRAINER ID: DALE COOPER
>TRAINER ID: ALBERT ROSENFIELD
{OOC: All three of the agents will be handling calls, so just let us all know who you want in the subject line!}

Date: 2012-11-08 03:44 pm (UTC)From:[Like seriously, how little attention did you pay?]

Date: 2012-11-08 04:09 pm (UTC)From:Look, calm down. Whatever's happening out there, she's a grown woman and can probably handle herself better than most of the idiots around here, which you already know. You also already know I've got good reason for telling you not to get involved. And considering you do still presumably have a brain in your head, you already know it's not like I can stop you either way if you do go out and decide to play hero. Cooper would do the exact same thing and I'd get on his case just as much as I'm getting on yours, because it's stupid and we all know it.
But if you honestly think it's important enough to risk the stupid...well, sometimes that's the call you make in this business.

Date: 2012-11-08 07:56 pm (UTC)From:I'll give her another day, but if she's not back by tomorrow I'll be going out to look for her.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-09 02:38 am (UTC)From:Don't worry though. Once things calm down, then we can start looking for her. If she doesn't turn up beforehand that is.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-09 02:42 am (UTC)From:And that whenever does appear to be accurate so far. I wish I could provide a better answer, but at the moment, I can't.

Date: 2012-11-10 11:55 pm (UTC)From:Hmm. It's okay! You just arrived here and you already know a lot about the world! It's very impressive!
no subject
Date: 2012-11-11 03:17 am (UTC)From:And I couldn't have learned these things without help. The people here have been very helpful, and luckily there's a few people from home who took the time to get me up to speed with the situation.

Date: 2012-11-14 07:36 am (UTC)From:Ah! I see! The people here are very helpful. I'm glad you have someone from your world to help you out. That sounds like a fantastic luxury! I just woke up here with a friend close by, but he's from the past and is so different.... but we've both been making sense of this situation. As much sense that could be made of this, anyways!
