Pokemon: The Grassy Hill

[idolpro]

There's only one way to go from the Laboratory, and that's along the lane leading down the grassy hill. On the right side, there's a small farm where those of you that possess rideable Pokemon can learn to do so, as well as a farmer who could use some help herding their Mareep, Tauros, and Miltank. On the left side, there are large meadows filled with fruit-bearing berry trees, an ideal place for picnics and outdoor parties.

Rather, these children make it easy for me. They're very well behaved.

This one is Renko-san, by the way, and this child is Onou-san.

[ with a gesture to the pink and the black ones respectively ]

Shrike-san, are you enjoying this game?

[softlyfalling]

Ah, the names sound lovely—is there a meaning to them?

I... think I'm enjoying it? I suppose I should, since it seems like it's even required to be peaceful, and we've had little enough of that.

[ simha has meanwhile started sniffing at all the berries in the basket. ]

[maidenheaven]

Mmm . . . "Ren" is written with the character for "love", and "ko" is written with the character for "heart".

[ patting the pink fish ]

"O" is written with the character for "great", and "nou" is written with the character for "strong". "Nou" can be read as "koi", which is "carp" - so it's a play on words.

[ patting the black fish ]

I wondered if we were doing too poorly recently, but this game has me somewhat relieved . . .

[softlyfalling]

Ah, those are both charming... did you and your friend pick the names together?

It is... sort of a relief, to have a game that seems to prefer exploration and kindness. There's a lot of people where, ah... I don't think they could have taken much more.

[maidenheaven]

. . . Indeed, I'm intimately familiar with that.

[ with a bitter sort of smile, a soft tone to his voice ]

Ah -

[ and, just like that, it's gone ]

I picked them both out. Renko-san would be my beloved's.

[softlyfalling]

[ she looks like she's considering asking further about that first point, but seems to decide against it. ]

Oh, that's—that's really sweet, naming them like that.

Ah, by the way—I thought I might be mistaken before, but it's Lucifel, isn't it? I wasn't sure, since we've only run into each other a couple times, but...
