Comments

Hilda and Zorua | The Monument

[ourlegends]

[ Today was a happy day. Today, Hilda and her team welcomed a new life into the end of the world. That new life was a female baby Zorua, who had been happy to see her new Mama and chew on her fingers a little bit.

And then, of course. She did what every energetic, curious little quadruped did.

She started out slowly, trying to stick her nose into anything and everything ... and the she tried to wander a bit too far from her Mama, which caused Mama to panic and try to pick the little one up. But no, it was not to be! Zorua seemed to realize that Mama didn't want her going too far, but she wanted to explore!

So, she started running, rather fast, leaving her poor Mama to start chasing after her. Residents of the Bastion, there is now a curious baby Zorua running around the monument, her trainer rushing after her frantically.

Will you see the Zorua? Will you try to help the Zorua? Will you try to help Mama stop the Zorua? ]

[stoleyourshit]

[There's another energetic quadruped nearby, watching the little one. ... Oh, why not. A red fox jumps out and joins the chase, running after Zorua with her tail held high. She keeps far enough away so that she doesn't catch her, but close enough to be exciting.]

[ourlegends]

[ Oh no! Another one is chasing her! Zorua lets out a little yip, trying to pick up speed without stumbling. While she's gotten pretty used to her legs so far, there's still a few times where she trips and has to recover quickly.

Run, run, run! Can't let anyone catch her yet! GOTTA GO FAST ]

[stoleyourshit]

[She playfully swipes at the baby's tail when she stumbles. She doesn't want to hurt her, just tease her. She really is kind of cute...]

[ourlegends]

[ Yip, Yip!

All she knows is how to make noises right now, so anyone who could understand Pokemon wouldn't really know what she's trying to say. That was fine. She's just having fun right now. She stumbles a bit more when she feels the swipe to her tail, but she catches her footing and continues to run.

This was fun! She likes it! ]

[stoleyourshit]

[She yips right along with the little one, before dashing ahead and flopping down on her back. Jump over her or jump on her? Or go around? The choice is yours, tiny bundle of energy!]

[attheclocktower]

[Not exactly helping one or the other, but when Xion sees the small Pokemon running around, she edges her way forward, trying to not look too overeager. Once she gets close enough she drops down onto her knees, opening her arms and trying to catch Zorua's attention. And hey, if it worked, maybe that would give Mama time to catch up?]

[ourlegends]

[ NEW PERSON. The distraction works because now she's just curious. Zorua slows down and halts in her running, slowly moving toward Xion and sniffing at her hands.

Who are you, new person? She must have a scent for you. ]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion probably smells a bit like ice cream and the beach, but also warm pavement from summer afternoons spent at the Clock Tower. And of course, an assortment of normal smells from around the Bastion.

Xion giggles as Zorua sniffs her fingers.]

Hey, that tickles!

[Leaving one of her hands so Zorua can keep sniffing, Xion gently lifts the other one to try to reach out and bet Zorua gently.]</small

[ourlegends]

[ Zorua is far too distracted by getting a scent for Xion to move away when she tries to pet her. In fact, once Zorua feels that hand, she leans in a little to encourage the petting. She likes petting. It's good. ]

[attheclocktower]

[Well then, Xion rather enthusiastically keeps up with that petting. The smile on her face is getting bigger by the second. This is probably the hardest she's smiled in a long time - long since before she came to the Bastion.]

You like being petted?

[Well then, if Zorua is done sniffing, Xion will try to make that two hands petting instead of just one]

AZ and Eevee | The Distillery

[gianthobo]

[AZ is sitting near the Distillery, watching the tiny baby Eevee run around in the grass. He's still not entirely sure how to deal with a baby Pokemon - it's been so long since he even had to think about something like that. But she seems happy enough.]

[She definitely seems content to pounce at things in the grass, chasing after dirt clods and chewing on some of the longer pieces of grass. Floette hovers nervously nearby. She's not really sure what to do about this, either.]

[Help? Offer advice? Get your shoelaces pounced on?]

[ourlegends]

[ She's finally caught Zorua! And now she held the tiny little worn out baby in her arms as she's wandering around the Bastion trying to find out where here boyfriend's gotten off to and let him know that she and Zorua are both okay. Zorua's still awake despite wearing herself out, and seems to be absentmindedly chewing a little on her mama's fingers. Hilda's fine with this. It doesn't hurt, really. It seems to just be an early-developed habit with the little one.

Of course, she sees AZ with Floette and Eevee on her wanderings and she has to go over and say hello. ]

I see you have a new addition to your little family, too!

[ She's smiling, though it's obvious that dealing with Zorua has worn her out too. ]

[gianthobo]

[AZ nods, and pats a patch of grass.]

You should rest for a bit.

[Eevee perks up, and stalks low in the grass before jumping up at Hilda. Pouncing, pouncing! Floette lets out a squeak, and then just seems to wilt slightly. ... She's not going to be able to get her to listen, is she?]

[ourlegends]

[ She nods and begins to sit down ... only to get pounced upon by a baby Eevee before she can. She laughs and makes sure Eevee isn't in the way before sitting down completely. Zorua stops chewing on Mama's fingers and looks over curiously at the other Pokemon, raising a paw as if to bat playfully in Floette's direction. Hilda reclaims her fingers from the little one and wipes them off before making sure she has a secure hold on Zorua and reaching out to let Eevee investigate her. ]

Thanks. Zorua ran around and really gave me a workout earlier ...

[gianthobo]

It's no problem.

[Eevee sniffs at Zorua, before raising a paw in return, reaching out to touch the other's and then reach in further to nuzzle. Floette lets out a little sigh and floats down onto AZ's hat, settling in.]

[individuates]

[Tama-chan stalks through the grass, hunkered down close to the ground as she moves and gives a low growl that sounds rather more confused than threatening. She's not sure whether or not she should be on her guard here. It doesn't look like other creatures she's encountered on the Skyway. It's much too small. But then what is it? What is it, what is it?]

[gianthobo]

[Eevee stops, and crouches low at Tama-chan. What is this thing? She lets out a little cautious trill. Friend? Please be friend?]

[individuates]

[more grumbling - the cute could just be a front - and her tail swishes from side to sit for a moment. Tongue extends cautiously to lick the end of Eevee's nose. All right. Now Tama-chan is about 97% sure she's not food.]

[gianthobo]

[Eevee yips, and jumps back a little, but tilts her head.]

Vrrri?

N and Darumaka (with Zoroark) | in the Dragonfield

[unwrittenformula]

[Well today should have been a happy day. There was still a chance that it would be! But while the other two eggs had hatched just fine, it seemed that N's Darumaka egg was having some trouble. While it was plenty warm and even vibrating a bit to the touch, the Pokemon within the large round egg had yet to come out.

Worriedly, N sat silently in the Dragonfield near the water, with Zoroark next to him occasionally nosing the egg with a worried whine. Both hands on the egg, egg sitting in the space between his crossed legs, he just watched.

And waited.

And quietly, silently prayed.

If something was wrong with this egg... if something was wrong with Darumaka... he wasn't sure how he was going to deal with it.

Or if he even could.]

[ourlegends]

[ After stopping and talking with AZ for a bit, she started looking for N again. Zorua had finally fallen asleep in her arms, and Hilda did what she could not to wake her up as she continued to move. She finally caught sight of N, and made her way over to him, slowly sitting down next to him and looking to the egg as she started to pet her sleeping Zorua again. ]

Darumaka's taking its' time, I see ...

[ She leaned a little against N's side. Zorua wore her out quite a bit. ]

[unwrittenformula]

[He was worried, but he doesn't say anything about that when she sits next to him. The rare smile he had been using more doesn't appear, though he seems quietly amused at least.]

Zoura has a lot of energy.

[ourlegends]

I'm not surprised about that. I have a feeling she's going to be a handful ...

[ She leans down a little to kiss the top of Zorua's head. Zorua stretches a little in her sleep. Hilda then turns her attention back to Darumaka's egg and reaches out to place her own hand on it as well. ]

Darumaka's going to be fine. I know it.

[ She looks up at N. He didn't have to say anything. She could tell he was worried. ]

[unwrittenformula]

Zoura just needs a lot of exercise!

[Sorry, Zoroark. N is a little preoccupied at the moment. He won't be translating for you until this is over probably.]

Mn... I hope so... I know failed hatching is rare, but...

[He still worries]
