五 [what is text/action for Cherrygrove]

[usedfuryswipes]

[Hey, Johto! Ken's outside enjoying the sun and half-decent temperatures after the surprise misery that was yesterday, letting his Pokemon run around, the usual. He's tired of being inside, man. :c There's a couple new additions to the Pokemon either running or sitting around him--a Skorupi that keeps eying Ken sidelong as if the man's gonna up and

[Lo and behold, Youji responds by going out and finding himself a Kenken. Instead of lazing about.

He does still walk up behind Ken, though. Just because he can. Once he sees Ken's Vulpix about, he smiles and releases his own. Fi immediately makes her way to the familiar-looking one.]

I hear the nurse in the next town is identical to this one, so you have my vote.

[action]

[usedfuryswipes]

[It's a honest-to-God miracle!

Ken turns half-around to see Youji over his shoulder and scoffs, shrugging.]

I hear they're identical in all the towns. You'll get sick of them after a while.

[Ken's still-unnamed little kit yips happily and immediately play-bows, her little white tail swishing back and forth. Her friend, yay~]

[action]

[coolest_cat]

I rather doubt it, I happen to like nurses a great deal.

[Have a full half-second of a smirk, just to drive the impudence of that home.]

On a serious note--

[Yes, he does that sometimes--]

I don't like staying still when Schwarz is around. Whether Naoe is on our side or just calling a truce, either way.

[Fi gives a thrilled little "Vul~" and bows back, before nudging her friend playfully and dancing out of the way. Race? Tackle? Let's play something!]

[action]

[usedfuryswipes]

[Ken's caught off-guard by that for just a split second. Yeah, you like nurses all right. You even marry one. Ken shakes it off shortly after and just shakes his head. Oh, you.]

At least we haven't seen the two we don't like go through here. That means they're probably in Mahogany--with those Team Rocket people or whatever they are.

Naoe actually...kinda is on our side, but it's complicated. Now that Tot's shown up, though...I don't know what he'll do. He probably won't want her around us.

[Which means Mamoru might split off and go with them. Might. He doesn't know how Mamoru'll react to Tot either.

Oh you're so getting pounced on, Fi. BOUNCY TIME!]

[show_my_cannons]

How do you humans tolerate this weather?

audio;

[gentiana_clusii]

In my case, by complaining about it to anyone who'll listen.

But on a larger scale, that's what we invented heating and air conditioning for.

[show_my_cannons]

[He grunts -- yeah, that's a familiar method of coping.]

And if you lack access to those things?

audio;

[gentiana_clusii]

More complaining.

Though if you go jump in some water it helps with the too warm part. Too cold, just gotta put more clothes on. It's a bit of a pain, but...

[Action]

[secret_sword]

[Walking about? He can do that. Is he avoiding his sister? Of course not!

Okay...maybe a little.

...Okay he just is.]

If Aya is up for it then I am too.

[Action]

[gentiana_clusii]

Yeah, I figured. I'm not goin' anywhere until you two are, at least. Youji already agreed--I don't think he honestly cares.

It's just a week's walk to the next town if we're quick about it. Or so I hear. We'll have to get a lot of stuff 'fore we go.

[Ken shifts his sitting position so he's crosslegged with his fingers trailing in the grass in front of him--he starts picking pieces out of the ground to keep his hands occupied.]

How's she doing?

[Action]

[secret_sword]

[He sits down and Cu goes to visit the other Pokemon. He's generally quite friendly with everyone so it's not that surprising.]

She seems to be doing alright.

[Now if only he could figure out how to talk to her.]

[Action]

[gentiana_clusii]

Well, that's good. Could be worse, this isn't all that bad a place to get stuck if you have to do it somewhere.

[Yeah, he figures. That's why this is his next question:]

How about you?

[deadfreesia]

If everyone else is ready to travel to Violet City, I am, too.

[usedfuryswipes]

Looks like for now the 'yea's have it.

I haven't heard from Naoe. He probably wouldn't respond to me anyway.

[Unspoken here is: do you think he'd rather split off and go with Tot?]

[Text]

[deadfreesia]

I understand.

I'm uncertain of Nagi-kun's plans. I'll consult with him and get back to you.

[Text]

[gentiana_clusii]

Right-o.

Soon as I know how many are in our group for sure, I'll start getting supplies. It's a week walk. We'll need a lot of food. And probably something to purify water...

[Team Mom mode is go.]

[retrusting]

Um... If you're sick you have to keep warm...!

[gentiana_clusii]

[Oh hey kiddo! Ken grins.]

Oh, I'm not sick, Nai. It just means that I don't want to be here anymore.

How're you doing?

video.

[retrusting]

[Ah, that makes more sense. Have a shy smile.]

I'm really good! I've been helping my friends get stronger... and a nice person at the market taught me how to use my money!

[gentiana_clusii]

[Ken's always happy to see kids. :3]

I'm glad. That people have been helping you, too. Do you have someone to stay with?
