Pokemon: The Beach & Bay

[idolpro]

Keep heading past the downtown area and you'll come to a sunny beach and the ocean! There's a stall where you can trade your uniform for a unit-appropriate swimsuit so you and your Pokemon can enjoy the sand and the sea together! There's a cart nearby that gives out lemonade and ice cream for free to help you beat the heat. You can also take advantage of the local ferry: although there's a massive sign that reads "Safari Bio-Dome, Coming Soon!" for now it's mostly good for sight-seeing all the marine Pokemon in the bay or catch-and-release fishing off the side.

[Shooting him a glare that oddly mirrors Dratini’s. Meanwhile, Marill has finally made it to shore, and shakes itself dry right near Intensity. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Excuse you! Can you scruff a water mouse?! If not, it's getting picked up by its tail!]

[purrrnicious]

[It dangles from its tail and trills happily — apparently this is some fun new game???


Kohime’s just gonna be over here cracking up, though. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[This is not a fun new game! He huffs as he holds Marill out at arm's length. UPSIDE DOWN in fact]

Okay, yes. Yours is broken.

[purrrnicious]

Oh, I don’t know. He’s kind of starting to grow on me.

[Marill chirps and wiggles his upside down arms at Intensity like he wants to be cuddled. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hey, Kohime.

Think fast.

He's tossing your mouse at you to catch]

[purrrnicious]

[Ducks with an undignified squeak and Marill soars over her instead, landing back in the water with a splash. ]

Hey! Watch it!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Now who's turn is it to laugh]

I thought you were supposed to catch mice!

It was mostly dry.

[As evident by the water still dripping off the edges of Intensity's trenchcoat]

[purrrnicious]

Yeah, one time, in that stupid “capital-ism” game!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

Did they really put you on rat duty?

[He doesn't know if he should find that hilarious or insulting. And his expression says as much]

[purrrnicious]

What’s that face for?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's almost too on brand to the point it's insulting.

[purrrnicious]

[Gives a sharp, surprised laugh that’s just a touch bitter. ]

Relax, I volunteered. Someone had to deal with them.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Equally slightly bitter]

I'm not sure if I mean your unitmates or the producers for giving you rats in the first place.

[purrrnicious]

Didn’t you know? I was the bad guy in that game. At least according to our new guy.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Weren't we all "bad guys" in that game?

Or is there something specific they had issue with?

[purrrnicious]

[Frowns, crossing her arms. ]

Apparently because we let him handle the miner job we thought less of him. Never mind that I dealt with the rats and gave everyone but myself a bed.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Right. Less of him...

Seems like a solid strategy for the new person. Give them the role you're assigned than rather going off the beaten path. Since the latter can have unexpectedly bad consequences.

[purrrnicious]

He's done it in every less-than-fun game we've had. Agree with whatever we're doing then run back to the dorm and spin some sob story about how we're all so mean to him.

Let me know if you hear him doing it outside the unit?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course.

What are friends for if not gossiping with each other?

Though I've not seen him much outside your dorm. Maybe at a Live or two while I was passing by.

[purrrnicious]

[Grins, then, tail swishing.]

Oh, man, think I misheard you. I mean, call me crazy, but did you just call me your friend? I think you did!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You must have misheard. I said nothing of the sort.

[purrrnicious]

I'm pretty sure you did. With emphasis, even. Careful, there, if something like that got out it might ruin your reputation.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good thing I'm fairly confident something like that would never get out.

[purrrnicious]

Oh, sure.




For the right price.

[MAY OR MAY NOT BE SUGGESTING BLACKMAIL OR MAYBE SHE'S JOKING??? Probably she's joking. Probably.]
