T.H.R.E.E. Treacle Tarts ⚡ t e x t + a c t i o n ( in violet )
[Harry's sitting on the grass just outside the Pokémon Mart and Gym next to the water, with his entire party scattered around him. James is chasing Lily, Hedwig is sleeping in a nearby tree, and Nimbus is chilling with Dumbledore. Hagrid, on the other hand...]
Char!
Hagrid, would you give that back?
Chaaaaaaar...mander!
Look I don't--I don't speak your language, okay? [Harry's frustrated, and is holding out his arm to the Charmander. Hagrid has Harry's Gear in his claws, and he stares at Harry while flicking his tail around happily.]
Char char!
[Harry sighs.] I know you want to play, but d'you know how long we've been at this?
Char. [Hagrid the Charmander don't care, he just takes what he wants. Unfortunately, Harry's been depriving himself of sleep and his quick temper is easier to ignite.]
Just let me have that back, Hagrid! [He snaps.] I need to let my fri--[He stops short. He's really not sure he can consider anyone his friend quite yet...he'd like to, maybe, but in time. He takes this "wait what" to take a deep breath and calm down.] I need to let anyone who cares know that I'm here. Then I'll let you play with it. Alright?
[Hagrid stares at Harry, then at the Gear, then back at Harry. After a moment of hesitation, he teeters over back to his owner and drops the Gear into his lap with a Charpout. Harry takes another breath and smiles, reaching out to pet Hagrid's head.]
When I'm through and after we've slept somewhere indoors, we'll all do something together. No training, just playing.
[When Hagrid lets out a happy, "CHAAAAR!" and jumps into Harry's lap, he's soon followed by Lily and James who both want in on the attention. Sometime after the lovefest that ensues, Harry makes the following text entry:]
I'm in Violet City now. Professor McGonagall's left, she vanished a while back. That means she's gone back home, I guess. I'm taking care of her Bulbasaur, so my team's full.
...It's nearly been a month since I showed up. I think I was hoping that Ron and Hermione would show back up. Or my parents. [That bit was quickly deleted, none of that.]
I'm going to challenge the gym later. This is the first badge, and then I'll only have seven more to go. Then I can go hoaisdjfaowdifqwefqpowi8iofa
[Hagrid the Charmander was too excited to wait. He took the Gear again to get Harry's attention, so all Gear replies will be ICly late. Responses other than text are cool!]
