ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Holon City

Eskay: ...Solid reaction indeed. ._.;;

Holon City

- Lina stops struggling, and Umbra releases her-

Lina: I just... I... UGH!

-She storms off-

Umbra: -to Eskay and Herbert- Both of you, I am so sorry about that...

Holon City, with Eskay and Umbra

-Herbert heaves himself to his feet - bruised, but taking the fact that he is still able to stand to mean that nothing was broken.-

Herbert: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting something like that... still, I was kind of hoping we could talk it over rather than immediately resorting to Obscuric sign language...

Holon City, near Ren

Human!Ammy: OK! I'll try it on now!

-Heads off-

Holon City, near Herbert

Umbra: I dated her for a spell, and am still a a good friend of hers... She just needs a little time to calm down and then you can work things out.

Herbert: ...To be fair, I did kill her husband. I don't think that's the sort of thing you can fix with a few kind words and an apology fruit basket...

-He sighs.-

Herbert: I suppose it's too much to hope that she had a similar reaction upon your little reveal?

-Joseph, more or less oblivious to what happened, pops his head into the conversation-

What's going on?

Holon City

-Walks into the conversation-

I'm guessing Lina heard about what happened then.

Holon City

Holon City

Umbra: ...Surprisingly, no. I actually TOLD her a short while after I met her because it hadn't come back to haunt me nearly as much when I first met her, though I had a facade of not thinking much of it. She said it was because she could already tell I wasn't really a threat anymore. That and we'd already gotten to kinda like each other.

-To Tagg-

Yes.

Oooh! So you used to date her!

Holon City, with Eskay, Umbra, Joseph and Tagg

Herbert: ...Well, that's wonderfully reassuring. She already knows me, does she think that I'm a threat or something? Because the five foot five kid built like a dieting Kricketune is clearly far more sadistic and murderous than the former Ghost Lord himself.

-He looks over at Joseph and Tagg.-

Herbert: Dear Arceus, I wasn't aware that I'd sent out invitations. Then again, I suppose "watching Herbert get the everloving daylights kicked out of him" would be a pretty popular social event. In any case, your assumption is correct, Tagg.

-completely surprised-

You got the daylights kicked out of you?

-notices his current state-

Oh...well, yeah, you did.

Holon City

Umbra: -to Herbert, shrugging- Beats me. Maybe because I never did anything to her personally even as the Ghost Lord. Should probably ask her sometime...

-to Joseph-

Yes, I did.

Okay! She's immortal too, then!

Strange there'd be more than one...

Holon City, with Eskay, Umbra, Joseph and Tagg

-Herbert folds his arms and glares at Umbra.-

Herbert: Again, you're making me feel so much better about this.

Holon City

Umbra: -to Joseph- It's a long story that involves precursors and Giratina.

-to Herbert-

Sorry. ^_^; Though you may want to ask her.

Holon City, with Eskay, Umbra, Joseph and Tagg

Herbert: And get my face torn off by a Shadow Claw? I'd rather take my chances with a pack of wild Tyranitar. Urgh... first Kirk gets snagged, now this...

So, what exactly do you do now?

Holon City

Umbra: Like I said, she'll calm down. She may even apologize to you first.

Holon City, with Eskay, Umbra, Joseph and Tagg

Herbert: Yes, because she's clearly a shining example of tranquility and rational thought at the moment. Perhaps she'll even give me a hand-crafted gift card as part of her apology! Who knows?

-He sighs.-

Herbert: I think I'll just try to stay out of her way from now on. I mean, I know I fucked up, she probably doesn't want to associate with her husband's murderer...

edited 19th Sep '13 2:33:26 PM by Herbert40k

Wait, you murdered him?

Holon City

Umbra: -shrugs again- She can be more reasonable than you think. But I guess she'll need to show you that herself.

-To Dogs-

It was an accident.

And she doesn't know that?

Ryuku

Ryuku has noticed that Kerro is latching onto him for dear life.

Ryuku: Oh! Hello there!

Rayquaza plunges and beelines towards the Squad (in particular Agitato)

Ryuku: FindahappyplaceFindahappyplaceFindahappyplace!

Holon City, with Eskay, Umbra, Joseph and Tagg

-Herbert gives another dejected sigh, and would shove his hands into his pockets if his current outfit had any.-

Herbert: I think I'm just going to go meet up with Revan at the museum. See you guys later, I guess...

-He mopes off.-
