Shroomfield, aka the worst day ever.

[doublerinbow]

[This morning before Rin could leave the house, her drone mother stopped her to try a new recipe. Ever since Luka replaced her "mother," Rin's found it hard to deny her the little things like this, and so despite her better instincts, she went ahead and ate the bright purple quiche for breakfast. It was pretty tasty, actually... but then she

[people are being very silly today. Red has seen quite enough of this nonsense to last him a lifetime, and while there are a great many people who seem to be in need of help, he's only one person and it doesn't take much to distract him at all.

current said distraction happens to be Rin. watching her stumble in the direction of the highway, Red follows in the most inconspicuous way he can manage - atop Charizard. he flies overhead, keeping a safe distance behind her so that it'll be harder to see him, and continues for some time.

it's time to draw the line when she starts singing. Charizard flies lower and lower until Red is able to safely hop off of his back, drawing him back into his Poke Ball when he's safely on the street and barely a few feet behind Rin. after a few seconds, he finally finds his voice and calls out:]

She's not sure she can sing - is she the singer, or is it the dark-haired Rin that's standing next to her? - But she can't disappoint a human. She smiles with blank eyes.]

Hey, Master! ♪ Is it time for some work?

[...not the type of reaction he was looking for. there's something about the way she's looking at him that just rubs him the wrong way - a spacey, vacant look that's both creepy and oddly dangerous. not sure why he's come to the latter impression, but he has a hunch that it would be best if he didn't aggravate her.]

You tell me. It's hard to get work done out here. [he takes a step towards her.] What are you doing?

[doublerinbow]

[The smile fades a little.]

Killing time, I guess... looking at new scenery. ♪

[she turns her head out toward the edge of the highway. Where there's jumping space.]

Plus, I wanted her to go away, but she wouldn't stop following me. ♪
