Day 153 | Open

[gianthobo]

Who: AZ, his Pokemon, and open!
Open: Open.
When: 153, late morning
Where: Outside the Workshop for AZ, various spots around the Bastion for his Pokemon.
What: AZ is tinkering with something, and his Pokemon are taking the opportunity to get in some exercise.
Format: Whatever works.
Warnings: idk possible Pokemon spoilers

Going on the Skyway is dangerous. AZ knows this, everyone in the Bastion knows this. Still, some dangers are a little unexpected - such as falling over into some mud. Limping back, AZ had figured out the problem - his leg brace was loose.

Which is why AZ is now sitting in front of the workshop, a screwdriver carefully held between his fingers, trying to tighten the brace. Every so often he frowns, unscrews something, and pulls the brace off to look at it more closely.

His Pokemon, however, are another story. Floette is floating over near the memorial, looking thoughtful and a little sad. Torkoal has parked himself near the forge's furnace, puffing smoke into the air around him. Golurk has found the training hall, and is throwing powerful punches as it works out. Sigilyph is flying around near the ranch, looking down at the animals there curiously.

Comments

AZ

[ourlegends]

[ It's not easy to miss the rather large man in front of the workshop, and Hilda definitely sees him. He seems to be having some trouble ... so, of course, she wanders over to get a good look at what was going on. ]

Mr. AZ? What are you doing?

[gianthobo]

Hilda.

[He smiles a tiny bit, brushing some dried mud off of his coat. He holds up the metal and cloth brace to show her.]

My leg brace needs adjusting. It's not fitting right anymore.

[ourlegends]

[ She cocks her head to the side, getting a better look at it. ]

Are you injured, Mr. AZ?

[gianthobo]

... In a way. I wasn't always this height. Just... after I revived Floette and we both became immortal, I didn't stop growing. Human bones and muscles aren't really built for humans to be this tall. It puts a lot of pressure on them, especially my legs and feet.

My left leg is also weaker due to an old injury that just didn't heal properly.

Floette!

[ourlegends]

[ Oh, it's her friend! Lilil is out today as well, and she sees her tiny friend as she's wandering. She moves over closer to Floette, waving a little. She'd noticed the thoughtful look, even from where she was, though, and had to wonder if everything was okay with the other Pokemon. ]

Floette, my friend! Is everything okay?

[gianthobo]

[Floette looks up, smiling a little bit. She floats down a bit to be near eye level for Lilil. No point in being rude, after all.]

Yes. I've just been thinking about those I fought with.

[She'd never wanted to go to war, but she'd been forced. It wasn't her fault, she knows that now... but there were still a lot of friend she'd lost.]

[ourlegends]

[ Lilil nodded a little in response, understanding. She had never gone to war, but ... she had her own things to be sad about, too. ]

I'm certain they appreciate your thoughts.

AZ

[bastionpc]

[Oh look, its the resident blacksmith! He's not seen outside his workspace often, and he doesn't normally chat up the survivors, but AZ's metal work has caught his attention.]

Lookin' a bit run down there.

[gianthobo]

[AZ chuckles a little bit at Stuart. It's not untrue.]

A little. My leg brace came loose, and I fell into some mud. I'm trying to adjust it.

[bastionpc]

Ah, that's a damn shame that is. Looks like it was a nice piece of equipment 'fore it fell in to this shape.

[Unsocial as he might normally be, he can't ignore a good piece of metal working. He even crouches down a bit, draping beefy, muscular arms over his legs as he looks it over.]

Y'know. I got the supplies here to repair that, but given the shape it's in it might just be a temporary fix at best.

[followsthevoice]

[Hello giant man, have a small Kid walking over with a mildly curious glint in his eyes; even if his face was more or less the same than it usually was. He was wondering why the giant man who'd first defended his actions was sitting on the ground and tinkering with something or other...kinda hard to miss something like that after all.]

Y'alright?

[gianthobo]

[He nods a bit at the Kid's question.]

Just trying to fix my leg brace.

[Still, there's a nice patch of grass just waiting for the Kid, and he pats it in an invitation to sit with him.]

[followsthevoice]

[Raile obliged the man, taking a seat next to him as he cast an appraising gaze over at the leg brace. It seemed really solid in design...a bit old, but definitely sturdy; or at least sturdy in its day. Right now it looked like it was falling apart due to use, which was fair enough considering AZ's size.]

Looks a little beat up; I s'pose y'could use a little Zulwood Oil t'give it a little more life...but it'd prolly be best t'make a new one. I know a place y'can get some Knifebark if yer interested.

Torkoal!

[unwrittenformula]

Hello, Torkoal.

[That would be N, coming across the Pokemon parked at the furnace. N doesn't make much effort to be social around the Bastion, but he does go for walks from time to time to keep himself from feeling too cooped up.]

How are you today? You look comfortable.

[gianthobo]

[The Pokemon yawns widely, steam puffing happily.]

Yes I am. I like it here. Warm and toasty.

[He takes a few plodding steps towards N, opening his eyes a bit to examine him.]

And yourself, young man? Not getting into trouble, are you?

[He lets out a short laugh of 'koal koal koal'.]

[unwrittenformula]

I'm quite good at staying out of trouble.

[N smiled down at him, crouching to be a little more eye level with the Pokemon.]

I imagine you're quite the same.

Floette

[fuckthemancers]

I suppose you've been having troubling thoughts as well?

[It's just Zulf, looking like hell with how exhausted he seems to be. Still, he's polite and sociable as ever as he approaches the little floating Pokemon.]

[gianthobo]

[Oh no, Zulf. You are getting fussed over. Floette floats over, frowning a bit and reaching out to fix his hair.]

Flo! Flo floette! Flo flo flo.

[fuckthemancers]

[Wait, what's happening. Zulf leans back just a little out of instinct and looking so so confused.]

I'm afraid I don't understand.

[halp]

Golurk

[croceamors]

[Hey there, Golurk. While you're working out, don't mind the Berserker Nobody just curiously watching you from a small distance.]

[gianthobo]

[The large Pokemon stops after a bit and looks over at the Nobody. He eyes it warily, but it doesn't seem to be a threat...]

[croceamors]

[On the other side of things, the Berserker seems to be making the same judgment.]

[Back in Never Was, normally it would have many tasks to do. There were also missions the master had, or guard duty to be done. However, this is different. The master is even a bit different although certainly his master. Things have changed. It's all rather strange. So now, after many stipulations from its master, the Berserker has found itself with the most peculiar thing known as free time.]

[The only problem being the Berserker Nobody is even worse at socializing than its master.]

[After a very awkward moment, it decides to mimic something it's seen other people do well enough as a greeting and raised up one hand slowly. The fingers clench and release a little.]

[So. Uh. Hi.]

AZ

[paeon]

[ Oh, look. It's a gigantic... hyur? O'danya is quite used to huge people, but those are usually elezen or roegadyn. It's no matter, because this place is quite out of the ordinary anyway but it does make her pause. She approaches with curiosity and no sort of hesitance to watch him fiddle with the contraption. ]

Is something the matter?

[gianthobo]

[He looks down at her, curiously. ... You know, he's not going to ask.]

It's a leg brace. Some of the parts came loose.

[paeon]

[ What, you've never seen a cat-girl before, AZ? ]

But not lost, I should hope. Have you need of any assistance?
