thebastion | [Day 195] Around the Bastion + Skyway (open)

Who: Red and anybody.
Open: Open
When: Days 195
Where: Multiple options.
What: Just another pokémon kid at the Bastion ~~with no fashion sense~~.
Format: Pick your poison, I shall go with the flow.
Warnings: None at the moment.

[ Red was given the low-down on the state of the End of the World upon his arrival, thanks to the people who have long ago come to terms with it and know that people didn't always stay gone with their homes. Whether he came from a past, the present, or whatever, that kind of questioning hadn't entered Red's mind, nor yet why him out of what would be millions of others.

It could be a lie; of course it could be. And yet the strange delusion that was the Bastion hadn't disappeared to him over the hours of being there, or during the night that he and his pokémon slept. He woke up to a new morning away from snow and familiarity of the mountain he came from, in the same room offered to him in this fractured world.

But Red wasn't one to sit around and do nothing. That much was still a part of him after years of living that way. The idea of his world being gone was still too surreal a concept for him to sit around and mourn over. Bumbling around and figuring something out, whatever that something might be, seemed a much better use of his and his pokémon's times. ]

[ Location: Bastion - early morning to early noon ]

For the most part, Red can be located around the Bastion during morning-to-noon. The idea is to explore, with his starting point being from the apartments early in the day, to the arsenal, the training building, and generally just looking around at different locations there are. Also the monument because who doesn't end up there at least once, right. Oh yes, that ranch looks interesting to check out too.

He can be found with his Pikachu out, who usually sniffs and pokes his nose around ahead of Red, though he's keeping closer to his trainer due to. Well, the situation.

Dragonfield

[ A large body of a water is a good location to spend some time at. It's free water, plus the creatures around it are unusual and different. None he knows, but hey, there's plenty of unknown pokémon out there to him.

Here's a spot that he'll let out his team, who pay some attention to drinking and having Red check them over, speaking to the creatures that... make sounds, but aren't exactly speaking the same language back to him.

But then half of their attention is on everything else. Particularly the fact that there's floating islands in the sky. Sure, some of them saw that yesterday, but it's not exactly a thing that one gets used to right away. ]

Donut Trees

[ It is a doughnut tree. Surely this is actually fantasy. A tasty fantasy that Red just. Examines. In disbelief. Because there are doughnut trees growing here Pikachu do you see this too.

You know what, fantasy actually tastes pretty good. For a short while Red and his whole team will be out to sample a few. Not the whole lot, no worry about that, though Snorlax and Charizard do enjoy them the most and so have more than just two. And yes, even some of the leaves because Pikachu and Snorlax both got curious about them and woah. ]

[ Location: Skyway - afternoon ]

After noon, Red will head to the Skyway to investigate and explore. There's items of interest that can be found around here supposedly from what he's heard, particularly the Shards. He's not sure what he wants to do right now - if to believe that he should be helping or not or if there's something bigger going on despite appearances, but his curiosity for the floating islands and his desire to see what he can find are both pulls towards exploring

Open Plains

[ Red and his team end up here at different times throughout their exploration. It connects to most of the different locations and it's a good place to rest while still getting used to what's out there. The monsters are different from what they're used to, but nothing's been too difficult so far fortunately. He can be spotted here now and then, whether travelling through or taking a rest, with one or two of his team mates out. ]

Residential District

[ It's here that items of interest could be found (or so he was told) if one was to look. It's not as glamorous looking as it once all obviously was, but time and ruin will do that to most buildings not prepared for disaster. ]

[ Location: Back the Bastion - late evening, night ]

[ It's dark by the time Red returns with his team back to the Bastion, exhausted in a way that isn't entirely unusual to him, but different for what they've been doing. He ends up checking out that Donut Tree again (hey, look, more doughnuts), as well as getting some proper food for items that he retrieved. It's a modest amount of food, which he decides to take outside so his team can eat it together. The dragonfield seems like a good place for this, doesn't it. ]

( ooc: sooo i tried to make up a few options but yeah. if you have any ideas you wanna go with try it. )

[ She looks to the donuts. ]

... I guess I probably should see how it is. I just didn't know donuts grew on trees ...

They don't. These are a special kind. [ Haha. He looks at the selection, then back to Kohaku. ]

Any one?

Are they safe to eat?

[ She nods, though. It's the end of the world, what else could go wrong? ]

As far as I know. [ Which has been going pretty well for him so far! He takes a chocolate doughnut covered in a pink-frosting and little sprinkles, holding it out for her. ]

Good luck. [ He smiles. ~~rip in peace kohaku~~ ]

[ Wow way to send her into potential death territory, Red. Seriously, though, he says they're safe to eat, and he doesn't seem to be showing any outward signs of anything being wrong, so ... she takes it from him and smiles a little in her gratitude. ]

Thank you!

[ And with a moment of hesitation, she starts eating that donut. ]

[ If it really is a problem, it's going to be a problem him and her and all of his pokémon are going to suffer later on together. But he's going to trust how much how time there's been since he already since he had one and the people who've said that they're fine enough. Just weird.

Can't help but be a lil' cheeky anyway.

He nods to her, watching her a second but then looking at his other pokémon. Don't want to stare at her. BUT... WHAT IS YOUR VERDICT OF TREE DOUGHNUTS? ]

[ Well, that donut is really good, actually. She finishes it off and smiles a little at her new friend. ]

Wow, that really is good! I just hope that doesn't come to bite us in the butts again later ...

[ He shakes his head at the shakes, a small smile on him. ]

I think we should be fine. [ Well ] As long as we don't eat too many.

I think I'm good with just the one for now, really. I think I'm going to wait and see how that works out before getting any more of them.

[ She looks to the pokemon. ]

This sort of thing is okay for them to eat, too?

Not in large portions, but it's fine once in a while. Just like anybody else.

[ He tilts his head to one certain pokémon. ]

Though Snorlax would be fine with ten or twenty. It depends on the pokémon, really.

So they're okay if they eat human food? They don't have any special kind of food that they eat or anything?

Sure there is. There's snacks and different foods that all pokémon eat that people won't. [ Actually ] Some pokémon prefer boulders.

Boulders? That sounds really uncomfortable to eat, actually ...

I wouldn't try it. [ Unless you've got monster teeth on you. ]

I don't plan on it.

It's just hard to imagine anyone or anything actually enjoying boulders as food.

[ Hah. It's a little fun, seeing someone being complexed by that. ]

It's probably easier to believe if you see it, huh? But there's pokémon made out of rocks too.

[ He throws that little fact on the end on purpose, just to see what she'd think about that. Disbelief? Confusion? But he's going to focus at the same time on checking if his pokémon are finishing up. Had enough? Feeling ready guys? ]

Really?!

[ BUT HOW ARE THEY ALIVE??? She looks a bit deep in thought. She's trying to remember if there were any rock monsters back in her world.

... There might have been, but she and her buddies were kinda busy defeating anything that stood in their way, so. ]

Yeah. [ Red laughs a tiny bit at that reaction. Hey, it's true! Anyway, so about his pokémon -- Lapras, you're done? Time to get packed away. Charizard too? Okay. He'll take a moment to look back to Kohaku, swapping full pokéballs for empty ones. ]

We're going to head out now, but if we see each other again -- maybe I can tell you some more. If you want. There's the other trainers you can ask too.

[ There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them, though that N guy is a little off. ]

Ah, yeah, I know there's a place where most of them live ... do you live there, too?

[ Whoa, what just happened. How did that happen? What did he just do? YOU CONFUSE HER. ]

[ Well, she knows a bit about them then! But Red shakes his head. ]

No, I live at the apartments. The daycare isn't that big. [ Hey you might have a totally confused face but Red's gonna keep this pokéball thang up until his pals are tucked away!! ]

[ She clearly still has much to learn about pokeymans. ]

Oh, yeah, I guess I can understand that ...

[ One day, young newbie. For now, all the pokéymans are in their balls. ]

Well, I'll see you around. [ He lifts up a hand, nodding his head. ] Take care, Kohaku.

[ She waves at him as he leaves. ]

Take care!

[ ... And then she looks back to the Donut trees. She still wonders how they can exist ... but she ultimately decides not to think on it too hard and instead goes on her way. ]
