IT'S A TRAP!

I love sunny days. New Haven is such a beautiful place, too. Everything's so pristine, and there are so few ugly plants.

The lack of privacy bugs Me, though. I have to share a room with a pair of unworthy mortals. I went and bought a nice curtain yesterday, though, and between that and Alice I don't think I'm going to have any problems with heathens peeking.

Right now, though, I'm enjoying a nice bike ride, My platinum blonde wig's pigtails streaming behind Me, and Pete speeding along by My side. Alice is back at our room, guarding My stuff and sizing up My unworthy roommates, but Pete enjoys exercising in the morning as much as I do, and he can keep up with Me running or on My bike.

. . . as long as he doesn't get distracted.

I slow to a stop and look back. "Pete! C'mon!"

Crazy little guy's sniffing something on the ground. I, in Mine Eternal Holy Grace, climb down from My bike and walk it back over to him, to see what he found.

". . . It's a dime."

"Nido! Doran!"

I roll My eyes as he picks it up. "Don't put that in your mouth, stupid. You don't know where it's been!"

"Ran!"

"Alright, alright. . ." I crouch down and hold out my hand. "Give it here."

Ewwwwwwww. . . it's got Nidoran slobber on it. I quickly shove it in My pocket and wipe My hand on My pant leg. Why does he even want --

"That gum Alice likes costs ten cents, right?"

"Nido~~~!"

. . . Judging by the cheer and his hopping around I'm going to conclude that I was, as always, right.

But still. Ew.

Trucking down the street was a woman, long red hair and an unusually orange cap placed over the top to hide the worse of her bedhead from public view. Call it community service. Well, the girl continued walking towards another... girl? and the Nidoran. The pair appeared to be... conversing over something, with the girl holding up her bike while taking something from the Pokémon.

"See, Freak," Natalia commented, looking down at the black Pokémon trotting at her side, head up, proudly glaring around like he owned not only this place, but anything within it as well. When his 'Trainer' spoke to him, the Fire type's eyes barely glanced up, and he showed his sheer apathy by huffing quietly under his breath.
Dour.

The couple resumed their trek towards Nidoran and his trainer. Natalia drew closer, nudging Freakshow with one leg when he immediately started to walk with more of a straight-legged, aggressive posture. "Pst," Natalia hissed at him, eliciting another reluctant grumble from the Houndour- but at least he stopped his challenging behavior.

"Yo!" Natalia called out to Willow, holding one hand up in greeting.



((I'ma keep track of how many words I've used for you guys. xD))

((Oooh, I hadn't thought of that. :3))
[Previous Post: 290 words]


"Yo!"

I straightened up at the sound of a voice behind Me, and spared a glance over My shoulder. A mortal, speaking to Me?

. . . Stranger things have happened. I decided to grace this foolish woman with a moment of My time. . . and those big, sappy doe eyes I'm so good at. I even deigned to smile at her.

"Hi."

Pete, in his typical never-stays-still fashion, had excitedly sprinted up to the woman's. . . dog. . . thing, and was. . . saying something to it.

"Nido! Nidododorandonirandorandorannidoran-- and that's where I stopped listening.


~~((POV change because this post isn't long enough on its own to warrant me switching over to Pete's account))~~
((OOC: "Bold" is me doing Poke-speech, but dubbed into English so it's, well, readable. :P))

"Yo!"

That was someone's voice, I wonder who it is -- Oh, I don't think I've seen one of those before, but he doesn't look too friendly, although appearances can be deceiving sometimes so I went over and said hello!

"Hiya! My name's ZOOOM!, or Mauve, but Boss calls me Pete, what's your name? I don't think I've ever seen someone that's one of what you are before, so if you don't mind me asking, what're-you-called-you-look-kinda-neat?-I'mmaNidoranbutIguessyoumightalreadyknowthat, butI'veneverseenawhat-you-arebeforesomaybeyouhaven'tseenawhat-I-ambutIcouldbewrong, I'vebeenwrongbeforeyouknowandmyfriendLockesaysI'mactuallywrongawholebunch, butIthinkshe'ssillydoyouthinkshe'ssilly?"

Natalia smiled back, glad that the other trainer hadn't immediately gotten all pissy or something, like she was accustomed to seeing. Freak had a way of making everyone fearfully aggressive it seemed, but not here. Which was good, because Natalia Sae Karius really didn't want to deal with law suits or expulsion from the contest this early in the game.

"Hey," Natalia stated, a rather repetitive greeting. "Are you in this silly challenge too?" she asked, although the answer was just a little bit obvious. It never hurt to ask, all the same. She readjusted her white skirt, a bit self-conscious seeing as 'first impressions are everything' or something similar.

And if first impressions were everything... Freak was doing it wrong.



Freak stood his ground as Pete practically flew towards him, and his nose wrinkled and lips lifted in a growl. At another "Pst." from Natalia, he stopped his rumbling disapproval, and merely watched the Nidoran, a look of disgust clear in his eyes.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn, Freak barked back, watching the Nidoran like a cat would a mouse or other potential food item. It would appear that someone never taught Freakshow to play well with others- or maybe it was that no one taught others not to play with Freakshow? Either way, the Houndour did not approve of Pete even one tiniest bit, and it showed.

I didn't pay much notice to the woman's fidgeting -- who wouldn't fidget, in the presence of God? -- but I did decide to answer her question, as I tucked a bit of stray hair behind my ear.

"Yeah. I needed a vacation, and this sounded exciting."


Meanwhile, outside of the self-aggrandising inner monologue that was Willow's massive ego, Pete was pouting. . . however much a Nidoran can pout. He was also totally failing at an imitation of Willow's "wibbly doe eyes" routine. He couldn't understand why this weird, nifty new Pokémon didn't want to listen to the stream of largely-contentless chatter that tended to tumble forth from his mouth every time he opened it. Of course, this wasn't actually anything new; most entities he attempted to converse with eventually opted to save their sanity and tune him out, but very few were ever quite so very, very direct about it.

What a meanie. I mean, I was only saying hi, the least he coulda done was say hello back, and I was about to tell him about the super-cool dime I found that Boss is holding onto but that I'm gonna use to buy gum for Locke! She really likes that gum, and she's gonna be happy when we get back and I'm all TA-DAAAAA~~~ GUM!, and then she'll be all like GUM! THANKS, ZIP!, and then maybe she'll kiss me on the cheek and it'll be totally AWESOME!

Oooh, is that a beetle?


. . . but then the pout and watery eyes faded away back to his more normal, absently content expression, as he wandered off in the direction of the thing that might be a beetle.

"Exciting, sure," Natalia agreed, one eye on Freakshow. "Freak was just getting stir crazy," and at this, the Houndour looked up as if to ask 'and you weren't?' "So we decided an adventure was in order," the woman finished, nodding. Freak huffed softly as Pete wandered off. What he would give to chase after the stupid thing and give him a good one-two... Wishful thinking on Freakshow's behalf.

Natalia also noticed the Poison Pokémon wandering off. "Er, does he do that often?" she asked Willow, motioning towards Pete's inspection of... something. The young woman opened her mouth, likely to reprimand Willow's lack of providing discipline, but shut it because Freakshow really wasn't doing much to show Natalia as anything but a hypocrite.

So instead the red-haired woman waited 'patiently' for an answer as Freakshow sat down, silently staring at Willow, very focused, very intent... luckily for him Natalia hadn't noticed. Or maybe it was lucky for Natalia that she hadn't noticed- how many times can a lady 'pst' a Pokémon before someone declares her a Nazi and ships her off to Germany, or this world's equivalent?

Willow glanced over at Pete and pinched the bridge of his nose with a sigh. "Pete. . ." he paused a moment to look for words, "has an attention span comparable to that bug he's -- Pete, what did I tell you about putting weird things in your mouth?!"

. . . The Nidoran looked up at the sound of his name, chewing the delicious beetle idly as it flailed its limbs in its fruitless, insectoid death throes. What's Boss talking about? I'm not putting anything weird in my mouth I'm just eating a beetle, and it's tasty and crunchy and good and totally not weird-tasting, and it's not even a dime, and how am I supposed to know what tastes weird and what doesn't without tasting it first?

". . . About as bright as the beetle, too, but it's what I got to work with."

Pete knew that voice. That was the voice that meant that he wasn't getting an extra biscuit with his kibble later.

Natalia smirked ever so slightly. At least Freakshow didn't eat random stuff. One point Freakshow, zero points Pete. The woman shook her head, laughing lightly. She didn't want to offend the boy.

Wait.

What?

Natalia did a double take as it finally hit her that the pretty little girl in front of her was actually just a pretty young man. Well, maybe not that young. He could've been older than Natalia herself but that wasn't the point! The point was that Natalia hadn't noticed right off that bat, and that was upsetting.

But it was probably better not to ask. No one asked why she wore obnoxious colors, so she wouldn't ask why he was wearing a skirt. Whatever floats your boat, man.

"Freak's smart, when he chooses to be," Natalia related, glancing down at the Houndour, to find he had long since wandered off. Cursing quietly under her breath, Natalia turned to see if she could catch a glimpse of the Houndour. "And... Apparently now he's a ninja. Why I'm surprised, I'll never know."

((Oy, oy! Willow puts a lot of effort into his disguises. Wears padding, too, so it's not like his lack of curves should be tipping you off. He's been doing this for years, and if he was so bad at it that someone he's just met could tell his true gender without anything going particularly awry that would give him away, he'd be either in jail or dead right now. I know that his profile is written in a way that makes it really really clear OOC that he's a guy, but that's OOC knowledge. Please don't metagame on me like that. :< ))

((Maybe if you'd actually put in an APPEARANCE of what he looked like besides saying "He wears wigs. And here's a picture of his fayce." I'd know wtf I were talking about. -_- Don't get snappy at me because YOU didn't describe things well enough. So, I'll change this later IF I get around to it.))

((I'm sorry. I should have made it more clear in the profile. I thought it was implied by the fact that 1) his profile does state he uses padding, 2) his bio indicates that he's been doing this since he was in high school. I seem to have also somehow not managed to include the line "looks like a different woman every day" in this version of his 'sheet. This has now been fixed.))

((Do you still want to continue the thread?))

((I'll, er. take that as a no?))

I suppressed the urge to snicker. This mortal was amusing, but I had a workout to get back to. "Might want to go find him, then. Unless he comes when called?" I climbed back on My bike. "Hey, Pete!"

The crazy little bastard took one look at Me on My bike and was blurring off down the street. I pedaled after him.

Don't waste my time.
Well, it's RP. Fairly good RP, too, until the OOC clusterfuck. That's usually better taken care of via PMs.

Neither of you even hit 1k words, but for the sake of simplicity I'll just say you both more or less did. I'll give you each half marks, 1/2 possible XP, for being solid but drama llama-ing. PM me whenever you decide what to spend it on.

Natalia gets 1XP (not yet spent)
Willow gets 1XP (not yet spent)
