Petalburg — Past

Eskay: Thanks... Hotel rooms are getting kinda bland anyway.

-And he heads inside-

Petalburg — Now

Eskay: Er, sorry. I only just got here anyway.

-He sighs-

Eskay: And yes... The emotional bond does last much longer than the physical moments. Longer than those physical moments can even possibly be. If anything, I'm beginning to envy you for being as able to fall into the metaphorical audience as you are.

Iri Manor - Yesterday

Jacob: -Nods and looks up at the sky- ".... I wonder why most people look down instead of up?" -He shrugs and heads inside himself-

Petalburg

Jacob: "I'm not in the audience. I just wish I was. But... ah well. I'll take the cards I'm dealt and make them dance for me. ... Wow I'm talking weird today. Anyways." -Shrugs and shakes his head-

"I'm no stranger to desiring human companionship. I just... I wish people would understand relationships aren't all that great. They're not magical things."

-He takes out his half black and half white King piece and flips it between his fingers-

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Goldenrod

<Sorry, it's kind of a bad habit...> -Shinobi said sheepishly-

<But I'm trying.> -He adds, before trying to change the subject- <You know, I should really take you out for dinner or something one of these days>

-Beat-

<While I'm not a Greninja that is...>

Goldenrod

Locke and Geo were out and about, looking rather frantic, Locke on the phone with someone.

Park, past

The room was in an upheaval, the tools were all scattered about, dome embedded in the walls. There didn't seem to be anyone around, but Locke was cautious in how he moved forward, all the same. There was a soft sound throughout the shed, but that could easily have breathe creaking of the floorboards as they moved.

The door was locked on the other side, but the lock seemed to be two way.A design flaw, likely...but someone might have changed it to be so.The soft sound persisted, but now it was more pronounced, Tip tap, tip tap...

Geo's ears flared up, as he murmured "(There's an aura here, but it is is so weak..the cabinets, the lockers..where could it be coming from?)"

Locke frowned as something splashed on to his head, and he tried cleaning it off. When he did, and pulled his hand back, it was now a dark red...

Locke's eyes widened, as did Geo's. It was still dripping, from above their heads.Slowly, they raised their horrified eyes up to the roof, and Geo opened his mouth to scream...

Goldenrod

"Yes, a romantic dinner with a human would be much less awkward for all involved." she giggled, letting go off Blitz "In any case, I'll leave you to do what you were doing. See you later!"

She then walked off.

Goldenrod

-Jason looks out his window.-

Jason:Yo! Locke! Something up?

-Shana jumps from the roof to the window.-

Shana:<Tell me, how->

Jason:Lot of people.

<How did you->

Been asked before.

Goldenrod

-Shinobi adds a short squeeze of his own before letting Sakura run off-

<Right, I'll call you about that later then!>

-And with the girl gone, he picks his notebook up and flips through it a little before chuckling slightly-

<I guess I do make a pretty unusual sight>

Petalburg

Eskay: Right...

-He takes off his mask, looking down at it.-

Eskay: They say love makes you blind sometimes, yes?

Goldenrod

Locke waves to Jason with one hand but holds up a finger, and after nodding a couple of times, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and thanked the man on the other end of the phone and closed it, beaming."The doctor says that the woman, her name is Susan Eride, as it turns out, is in stable condition now. There might be some faint scarring, but overall, she's going to be fine, thank Arceus." Geo jumped in happiness, and high fives him.

They turn around to Jason and Shana and walk over, smiling, "Not much, just some case stuff." Geo tilted his head."(Greetings, little Riolu! What is your name?)"

Goldenrod

Jason:Heh, sounds like it turned out alright, then.

-He chuckles.-

Glad ta see ya so happy man.

-Shana hmphs.-

Shana:<Shana. And I'm not little.>

Goldenrod

Geo nodded."(Ah, all right.") He then pat Shana's head.

Locke smiled."With a job like this, you begin to get really thankful for the tiny little happy moments. so how're you guys doing?"

Goldenrod

-Jason shrugs.-

Jason:Pretty well, I suppose.

Shana:<Don't pat me!> >_<

Goldenrod

Locke nodded, and then came in close to whisper "Did you patch thinks up with Ray and Bel?"

Geo stroked his chin lightly with his paw spike, and then his face brightened."(Ah, thou wishes to be considered strong, correct? Would thou like to train with meself?)"

Goldenrod, last night

Jason:Welll...yeah, I guess. Ray and I aren't....well...we don't hate each other at least. It'll take a while for me to feel completely better, but I can manage...as for Bel...

-He takes out his unofficial FUAM ID.-

Looks like I can take a visit to her University whenever, so that's good. And since her and Ray talked...I suppose they're alright too.

-Shana thinks for a moment.-

Training under someone from my species might be a good thing...

-Takes a look at her paw.-

But...I know enough moves already...and Kabuki said he was looking forward to fighting me again...

Shana:<I think...I'll take a....what's it called...a raincheck on that offer.>

Goldenrod, today

-Various people are about and in existence.-

Goldenrod

-both a Joseph and a Munn exist, as does a Samantha and a Mimmy-

Another green world.

Goldenrod

-It is entirely possible that any of my characters could be near any of Dogs' characters.-

-Choices of iterations include:-

-Maria and Uta-

-Jason and Shana.-

-Lane and Elmyra.-

-And really, there are many possibilities than the ones listed.-

Goldenrod

Joseph: Hi, Jason! :3

Samantha: Hello, Maria and Lane.

Another green world.

Goldenrod

Jason:Hey Joseph.

Shana:<Meep!>

-Shana attempts to hide in Jason's coat pocket.-

-What? He has sizeable pockets.-

---

Lane:Oh hello there.

Maria:Hi Samantha!

Elmyra:-nuuuuuuzles Lane.-

Lane:Oh, alright alright.-feeds the horse a treat.-

-Maria is holding her Jigglypuff.-

Goldenrod

Joseph: You're afraid of me? 3:

Samantha: How are you two?

-nods at Uta-

Another green world.

Goldenrod

-Shana pokes her head out of the pocket.-

Shana:<You're not going to tackle me again, are you?>

-Jason chuckles.-

---

Maria:I've been doing pretty good!

-Uta wriggles her way out of Maria's arms and floats over to Samantha.-

Uta:<Hi there!>

Lane:Same, really. I've mostly been training some of my newer teammates. Like Elmyra here.

Elmyra:-nodnods-<Yup!>

Goldenrod

Joseph: Nope!

-Samantha, meanwhile, pats the Jigglypuff-

Samantha: That's good...I'm training mons, as well.

Another green world.

Goldenrod

-Shana looks skeptical for a moment before clambering back onto Jason's shoulder.-

Shana:<Hmmmmm...>

---

-Uta applies puff huggles in response to the pats.-

Uta:Jiggly~!

Maria:Hehe! She likes you!

Lane:She likes everyone.

Maria:Point. So, who've you been training, Samantha?

~*Embedded Tower*~ (Nothing interesting ever happens here yo')

It's another day in the Embedded Tower with the Tiny Trio.

Buggle and Depthcharge were nowhere to be seen at this particular moment. They were probably off somewhere either trying to create substitute Mon -> Human or hatching some hair-brained scheme to become highly successful entrepreneurs of a Toothpick factory in [New Mexico] somewhere. Either way, Bridget is probably regretting the day he allowed himself to play babysitter for those two.

Vyvyan on the other hand, has perched himself on one of the fragmented Rayquaza themed stairs, staring into front of a chintzy thrift shop mirror with it's 99c tag will dangling on the side since nobody could be arsed to remove the damned thing. When he's not being distracted by the gaudy weather trio themed frame, he is examining his current appearance. Pushing back fangs that seem to be of the habit of protracting now and again, and rubbing his eyes when the whites occasionally switch to black.

He rolls up his sleeve and pouts at the armband before sighing, shaking his arm and flicking the armband with the back of his hand.

Vyvyan: Hmm. I wonder if I should find those J-team guys and have them check if this contraption is bust. I seem to be "leeking" as of late.

Vyvyan ponders for a moment.

Vyvyan: Is that even the right turn of phrase? "Leeking"? For slipping back into base form?

Vyvyan would have pondered on this line of thought more - and he would've liked to, I might add - had two identifiable human males not bust through on of the walls like the Kool-Aid man.

Identifiable Human Males: YEAAAH! WE DID IT!

Following the two Identifiable Human Males is a rather dazed and confused Identifiable Male Gardevoir, covered in soot. It seems that he was the immediate test subject for whatever strange experiment those two were conducting.

Bridget: -Leaning against the wall, trying to catch his breath- <You guys...>

One of the fellows is a shorty. Around 5'4 in height with skin the colour of white pearls, he has a mop of scraggly sapphire blue hair that falls down to the back of his neck at the longest. His clothing choice appears to be a longcoat tied loosely around his waist with red chord. The pattern is a strange one, the sleeves and the upper half of the coat are a royal blue shade while from the naval down it flows into an ivory colour. The coat itself his lined with red trimming and has intrinsic Kyogre themed patterns on the chest and the sleeves. The sleeves themselves fan out and are have small white square flaps dangling off the rims. The clothes underneath the longcoat are a bit more basic; a silver necklace set with sapphires and a long black tunic that has a few more of the blue and red trim patterns on the upper half of his coat. Underneath his the right of his striking amber eyes is what appears to be a red tattoo of some kind.

The other identifiable human male is almost a complete opposite of the other. He is large fellow, 6'7 in height with skin the colour of burnt sienna. His hair is a short, wild mane of ruby red with two black streaks, and his eyes - just like Vyvyans and the smaller blue fellow - are a fierce amber colour. He apparel is more basic than his friend and consists of a yellow scarf with strange, ancient looking designs, a [Hawaiian] t-shirt with a strange pattern of the black Groundon markings and Hibiscus flowers, a pair of bog-standard black shorts and a pair of black Havaianas sandals for footwear. Like his compatriot, he also has a blue "tattoo" down his left arm that seems to parallel those of Groundon.

It isn't a mystery who these two are.

Vyvyan: Buggle. Depthcharge.

Buggle: Yo!

Depthcharge: That would be us.

Buggle: What gave it away? I thought we blend right in o3o.

Vyvyan parkours his way down from his mirror, and and shakes his head at the two with a knowing smirk.

Vyvyan: Because, if I could visualise what the deities of the oceans and earth would look like should they be human. Your current forms are exactly what comes to mind..

Vyvyan points a thumb at Buggle.

Vyvyan: Though your clothes are not what I expected. Good job~

Buggle: Yay~ I'm unexpected! Slightly!

Depthcharge folds his arms and pouts.

Depthcharge: But at least I look fancier....

Vyvyan walks over to Bridget and helps him up.

Vyvyan: Erm. Sorry Brig.

Bridget: You owe me. BIG time...

Vyvyan: Will do.

After consoling his long time companion, Vyv looks back over to the now Human mini-Kyogre and mini-Groundon.

Vyvyan: Well since you now have human forms, have you tried thinking of human names? And not something obvious like Hugh Mann, please.

Depthcharge points both of his index fingers at Vyvyan. Though his large sleeves quickly drape back over his hands.

Depthcharge: Glllaaaaad you asked! That's the 64$ question right there.

Buggle: We were getting bored of these corny ass names anyway o3o.

Depthcharge points a sleeve at himself.

Depthcharge: From now on I wish to be addressed as "Levi"~

Buggle then gestures a thumb to his chest with a big smile.

Buggle: Call me Santiago! "Sandy" for short. I like shorts, they're comfy and easy to wear.

Vyvyan: So. Levi and Santiago?

Depthcharge Levi: Yep~

Buggle Santiago: Got it in one! Oh, and we also have something to show you~

Santiago flashes out three tickets he pulled from his back pockets.

Santiago: WE BE GOIN ON A CRUUUUUSIE!

Levi holds his hands in the air, which causes his comically large sleeves to slide down his arms.

Levi: TO HOENN

Both: AWWWW YISSSSSSSS

Vyvyan stops breathing for a moment.

Vyvyan: ...When do we leave?

Levi: Oh. Tomorrow morning~ We've packed.

Vyvyan's Mindscape

Sirens are going off

Announcer: MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

Back to reality

In the blink of an eye Vyvyan grabs the two by the collar.

Vyvyan: AND YOU JUST TELL ME THIS NOW!?

Vyvyan dashes around at the speed of sounds trying to pack a suitcase that was hidden Behind the Black.

Vyvyan: DOYOUKNOWHOWLONGITTAKESFORMETOPACK?IMEANIHAVETOFIGUREOUTCLOTHESANDTOILETRIESANDBACKUPSANDPLANEXPENDITURESANDINEEDTOASKSIERRAIFSHEWOULDLIKETOCOMEALONGANDARRGH.

Vyvyan curls up and starts rocking back and forth. Levi and Santiago stare at Vyvyan, then at each other.

Santiago: Uhh...

Levi: Did we do something wrong? I thought he would like to go on a trip to his home region! D:

Bridget stands up and walks over to the two.

Bridget: <You've known him for two years and only realise now that he has quite severe anxiety? Tsk Tsk>

The Gardevoir goes over to console his trainer while the two hooman legendaries look sheepishly at one another.
