Day 330 [Open] butterfly in the sky, i can go twice as high...

[gianthobo]

Who: AZ and everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 330, evening
Where: Near the Monument
What: AZ has decided that it's story time in the Bastion.
Format: Action, though I can switch to prose if you want.
Warnings: None that I can think of.


[It's been a long few days. AZ doesn't quite know what to do other than help move things around and try to comfort people as best he can. He's seen too much death, too much sorrow, to really get emotional over it. … And maybe that's wrong, but he and Crona had never had a strong bond. He can't make bonds with everyone - the ones he has are enough to keep him exhausted as he tries to hold on to them.]

[But he's experienced, and experience does have some side benefits. Which is why, as the Bastion approaches evening tonight, AZ has set up a small area near the Monument, with pillows and blankets and some food from the kitchens. It's not elaborate, but it doesn't have to be.]

[And if you're not near the Monument? No need to worry. There are a few signs scattered around the Bastion, with a helpful picture of the Monument and an arrow on them. Hopefully one of the languages on it will be comprehensible, if the pictures aren't enough.]

[[ooc; It's story time with Papa AZ! Feel free to tag into this singly or in groups for legends about the Pokemon world! Questions are encouraged, and if your character has Pokemon or some other kind of pet, they're more than welcome to visit, too.]]

[bulletofhope]

Yeah...

[ Same here. Life is hard as the non-fighting crew, LBR. ]

. . . what have you been up to since I saw you last, if you don't mind me asking?

[heptagram]

I don't mind at all. Honestly, it's been... about the same as usual. I've mostly been keeping to myself.

[And, you know, the girlfriend thing. Megaera was her girlfriend now, right? Or something?]

[bulletofhope]

Ah... I see. I've just been checking up on my friends myself... as well as gotten a Pokemon, too.

[ Naegi gestures at Komaru, who's... probably curled up on one of the cushions and started napping during the break, let's be real here... ]

[heptagram]

Ohhh, I see!

Your new Pokemon is pretty cute, Makoto!

[bulletofhope]

Isn't she just? I named her Komaru... she's a sweetheart.

[ Naegi smiles as he reaches out to ruffle her mane in her sleep. ]

She's actually the reason I'm here instead of being holed up in my apartment like everyone else.

[heptagram]

'Komaru'? That's a very cute name!

Oh, I see! She'll probably be happier playing with some of the other Pokemon, I think.

[bulletofhope]

It is... I named her after someone I could count on the most.

[ There's a small smile on his face as he looks at the sleeping Pokemon. ]

I think she got tired out playing with AZ's Pokemon earlier...

[heptagram]

[Awww, that's so cute, Naegi.]

I would imagine so.

[bulletofhope]

[ Shush, you. ]

At least she's able to relax, despite what happened...

[heptagram]

[Look, we all know how cute Naegi is already, jeez.]

True. It's good that some of us can.

[bulletofhope]

Yeah... I wish I knew how she does it.

[ BUT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET TO EVERYBODY... ]

[heptagram]

[oops]

Well... you know, I can't really say. I'm not very good with animals from my own world, I highly doubt I'd be much good with animals from another.

[bulletofhope]

[ dammit Patchouli ]

Ah... I've been good with animals, so that probably helped for me...

[heptagram]

[i swear it's not all my fault?]

So I see. As good as you seem to be with people?

[bulletofhope]

[ :| !!! ]

Ah... I wouldn't call myself that good with people, Patchouli-san...

[heptagram]

No? You certainly do a good job of seeming like it.

[bulletofhope]

Maybe? Back... back home, where I'm from, I was classmates and friends with many people who were... more or less out of this world in personality and character, so that might be part of it?

[heptagram]

Oh, right. Aoi was one of your classmates, right? And wasn't that blond guy with the glasses? I can see where you're coming from.

[bulletofhope]

Asahina-san and Togami-kun are my classmates, yeah. They're both drastically different, so... trying to deal with them was an exercise in patience.

Honestly, if you can deal with Togami-kun you can deal with anyone...

[heptagram]

[She bites her lip to try and suppress a laugh.]

So I see. I didn't really get a chance to speak to him much, I don't think.

[bulletofhope]

Trust me, you're better off for it. He's the kind of person you'd want to punch for even opening his mouth...

[ Even if Naegi is also grateful to Togami for indirectly telling him what exactly he missed out on back in his world... ]

[heptagram]

[Patchouli chuckles. She imagined herself punching someone, okay.]

I guess you're right, then.

[bulletofhope]

Mm-hmm... I haven't seen him around in a while, though, so I have to wonder...

[ Please don't have to have tried to escape, Togami... :|; ]
