This ranch is small, as compared to other ranches, but the Tauros here are top notch. It is also known for the milk from its Miltanks. The ranch occupies several acres off of Route 206 and often plays host to parties or retreats, where one can be treated as a cowboy for a weekend or two. Most of the ranch is fields surrounded by fence, but there are several cabins, a main mess hall, and outhouses.
Tony, the rancher, the tauros herd, and the rest of the escorts kept plodding on toward the ranch long after the sun had set. Tony was with the rancher in front, keeping a sharp eye out for any wild pokémon that would want to suprise them...

There was nothing. The rest of the trek to the Ranch was an easy one. As was herding into the Tauros pens. The rancher leaned back against a gate with a sigh of relief, "Whew... Glad that's done with..."
"Agreed." Tony decided to release his Charmander, now that the danger had passed. the lizard chirped with joy, being able to strecth out finally. Tony was looking at the starry sky when he remembered the design from before.
"excuse me a minute, I want to call my grandfather..." with this, Tony moved away and called, but got an answering machine.
"Hey gramps, this is Tony. My Charmander was a bit...overenthused with its Scratch attack and made a wierd pattern in the grass, and I'm gonna send it to you in a minute. does it look like anything? talk to ya later, bye."
Nai, you don't need to answer, the design is just a big squiggle that's gonna serve nothing more than a touch of humor

Terry trudged into the house, exhausted. Cy still looked up for about anything however, and flew up and around the property looking for something interesting.
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.
'Welcome to Mafia Salvation', it said, 'Population: 3,660.' And someone, they never figured out who, had painted on the sign in red letters: '1,831 to lynch.'
Tony was about to ask where the beds were when he felt a buzzing in his pocket. He took out his cell phone and saw that his grandfather had sent a text message, which read:
"checked out pattern. looks like from fam. circ. Charm. must like comix then."
*twitch twitch*
With a sigh, Tony asked the rancher where the rooms were, as he wanted to get up early enough to get some more tranining in the next day.

Tony thought to ask where the "healing station" the man had mentioned before was, but Charmander seemed in good enough shape that it could wait until the morning. Tony then found his bed and promptly fell asleep.

Sorry. I was just trying to move things along. But, posts like what, exactly? One word posts? Personally, I thought it communicated what was happening and why quite well, and I stayed in character, right? I'll be more careful in the future, though.
Terry woke up refreshed, to find Cy perched on the top of the dresser in his room. He fished some berries out of his pocket for it, and passed them over, yawning. He wandered out to find the Rancher already hard at work.
"Anything else we can help you out with today, sir?" Terry asked as he walked up. "The Tauros seem to be doing well."

Tony also woke up at an early hour, and after freshening up a bit, he joined the rancher outside.
"Need any help here? once I heal my Charmander, I'll help with anything you have left to do..."

I apologize, I was unavoidably detained in real life. As for the post: It communicated what was already understood; The character was asleep. It didn't add anything. The rules here are rather different than other places. Think of this as writing a book. Would you like to see an entire page dedicated to Zzzzs, indicating sleep? If you have to write something to indicate something of the sort, be verbose about it. Otherwise, it's spam.
The two found the Rancher herding the Tauros in to feed. He shook his head, "I'm afraid not. Nothing here I can't handle."
Curiously, Scyther and Charmander started fighting. Both seemed rather intent on the fight.
OOC: Umm, okay. I guess we can have a battle. As to the spam thing, I figured it was either don't post, or else post something inane, and I was afraid if I didn't post, we wouldn't move past where we were. So I figured I'd at least try for something somewhat humorous. Of course, apparently my post caused chaos in your personal life that slowed the game down even more, so I definitely won't try that again.
Terry noticed that Cy seemed a mite restless (after being frozen in time for so long, obv), and seemed to be spoiling for a way to use up some excess energy. After jostling a little with Charmander while both trainers were talking to the Rancher, Cy let out a cry and charged with a full-blown Quick Attack.

Tony watched as his Charmander was hit by the scther's quick attack, and was knocked back a few feet.
"Hey! what's the big idea, attacking Charm like that?" Tony was getting riled up, but his charmander was more so, spewing out an Ember at the insect.
"Oh crap, Charm, cease fire!"

"Charmander, return!" Tony's pokemon wasn't in much condition to fight, despite the type advantage. He wanted to recall it so there wouldn't be any more damage.

I had 3 reasons for not encouraging the new move. 1) I didn't realize he was implying Charmander getting smokescreen, I thought it was a failed ember.
2) I thought we'd end up battling, and Charm in its state, even with type advantage, has no chance versus a scyther at full power.
3) smokescreen never works anyway, unless it's used against you. If I use an accuracy reducer, it does nothing. If one is used against me, i will never be able to hit anything.
and @ CP below: Seems to be focus energy...
"Thanks for everything, Mister." Tony said to the rancher, scribbling something on a piece of paper.
"I'm gonna head back into town, here's my cell phone number if you need anything else from me. It was good to meet you!"

The next day the Rancher was out bright and early, checking on the wounded Tauros.

Terry woke up refreshed, to find Cy perched on the top of the dresser in his room. He fished some berries out of his pocket for it, and passed them over, yawning. He wandered out to find the Rancher already hard at work.

Terry, looking at the fight, saw the Ember attack singe Cy's back leg as he veered out of the way. "Dude, what do you think you're doing?"
"Cy! Quick Attack back!"

Scyther, as it dodged the smoke, refused to attack. It seemed to be pumping itself up for a hard attack.
