[pendantry]

[There's so much to do in one day around Luceti, if you only put your mind to it. Take two enterprising, bored souls, give them a fight scenario and the arena in which to implement it, and enough free time, and bam! Instant entertainment. Two souls engaged in an epic battle to the finish with their strangely elemental animal companions. A champion-strength trainer and a laid-back but motivated beginner. Imagine the spectacle!

So it's much more fun when a very large and colorful bird - with four wings! - comes half-flying, half-drifting down into the middle of your crazy pokémon training, right boys?]


[Voiced, later on]

Hey! What are you-

["You" doesn't acknowledge the protest, choosing to make his announcement instead.]

Hey, hey, hey Luuuuceti! We've got a charming young lady here, and she's got a problem! You see, some dastardly fiend has stolen her clothes, so whoever did that---

[A solid strike sound, when the other guy punches Masaomi in the face.]

Has anyone ever told you about a little thing called manners?

It's all in good fuuuuun, senpai!!!

[The journal changes hands again, to arguably safer hands this time as Silver snatches it away.]

...Give it back.

[[ooc: Raven, Masaomi, and Special!Silver are causing a commotion. Expect threadjacking. Welcome it. Embrace it.]]

Comments

[pendantry]

[Well. The handshake will have to do. Raven stands back up again and her face hardens as though surprised at itself for being soft.]

Where are we going?

[tsuntrader]

To get your clothes. [Wasn't that obvious?]

[pendantry]

Hm.

[That's some rousing agreement from her. Hello Silver, meet Raven's usual demeanor.]

[tsuntrader]

[She is suddenly in some new foreign place and had to spill some very private details to a complete stranger.

...He can let the linefacing pass.]

[pendantry]

[The default state of Raven's attitude is so much harsher than linefacing, this is almost a relief.

On this topic even she can't stay quiet forever though.]

Why do you think that way? ...About monsters.

[tsuntrader]

...I dunno. The word just doesn't sit right with me. It has too many negative connotations. [Says the guy from a world where everything's called a pocket monster. Pokémon is totally different, okay.]

[pendantry]

Some monsters think that way about "human" after what they've done.

[tsuntrader]

...You're from one of those worlds with a bunch of different species that can all be jerks to each other, aren't you?

[pendantry]

Not everyone is that way.

[Yes. That's a yes. Though there are shining examples of tolerance, too, they're not usually very loud about it. The humans and the monster races and the others...fight. A lot. And get obstinate.]

They hate for nothing.

[tsuntrader]

It's stupid. [So stupid. So why is it such a recurring theme?]

[pendantry]

Yeah.

[It's nice to have a human agree right from the start.

She'll go quiet again, looking around at all the buildings. It seems like just another town - one busier than Sharance, but still. Is it really another "world"?]

[tsuntrader]

[And that is about all he'll say until they get to the clothes store. Look, he's even holding the door open! Her clothes should be around here somewhere.]

[pendantry]

[She won't thank him. Maybe a short nod.

Her clothes are outlandish enough compared to most others in the shop that it takes her no time at all to find them and change into them. It's a bit too warm for the heavier coat, but right now she wants familiar.]

[tsuntrader]

[It's cool, Raven. It's warm and he's also in gloves, boots, and a jacket. He gets it. ...That coat's still pretty hot looking.]

Did you have anything on you before you showed up? [I mean surely she wasn't just running around with nothing but the clothes on her back, but you never know. People in other worlds are weird, man.]

[pendantry]

Yeah. [Oh. Is he waiting for a list?]

A sword and...a pendant.

[tsuntrader]

...You should be able to find your pendant at the item shop. If it doesn't show up right away, it will eventually. [Why does everyone and their mother use a god damn sword?]

[pendantry]

...I could make another one.

[It wouldn't be the same as the one Micah gave her...but something is better than nothing.

Also you should be glad it's not Pia. She uses a fish.]

[tsuntrader]

[A fish is better than a sword, man. We're talking about Pokéworld logic over here.]

There's nothing special about it? [You can just make another one?]

[pendantry]

[A Look. Of course there's something special about it.]

It's fine. I like pendants.

[tsuntrader]

[...Yeah, let's just head over to the item shop.]
