ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Last month's mini-events!

Effect: Friday, July 8: Flower Gift - All day, despite the season, flowers drift down from the sky. They’re harmless, beautiful, and smell lovely, but if trainers aren’t careful, they might end up trudging through rosedrifts up to their knees before long.
Swarm: Tuesday, July 12: Spinda
Effect: Friday, July 15 to Sunday, July 17: Worry Seed - Affected characters won’t be able to get any sleep. Does that make your character cranky? Does it damage their brain-to-mouth filter? The effects can last as little or as long as you’d like over this weekend.
Effect/Swarm Double Duty: Friday, July 22: Surf - Large waves appear in all bodies of water, including things like bathtubs and your Sawsbucks drinks (it’s just bean water, you know). Be careful on the ocean, but also, hang ten, dudes! The waves won’t destroy anything, but trainers are going to get wet on this ride. Also, oh god, small jellyfish Pokemon (Tentacool, Frillish, Inkay) happen to be swarming randomly in these bodies of water. GANBATTE, VICTORY ROAD.
Effect: Friday, July 29: Haze - The forecast is misty inside and out on this oddly cool July day. Affected trainers will find it difficult to remember things, whether those happened long ago or just five minutes past. The memories aren’t gone, of course, it’s just…foggy.
Swarm: Sunday, July 31: Illumise and Volbeat

worry seed

[ And here's Naminé, looking utterly exhausted. She's got dark, dark circles under her eyes, and the Skitty at her side is looking worried beyond belief. ]

Nyaa...

I-it's okay. Or... it's not okay, but... I just... can't sleep very well. I'm sorry, Neela... [ The Skitty nuzzles against her leg, and Naminé gives a very sleep deprived giggle. ] It must be clawful for you...

[ Oh. She's making puns. That's new.

... Neela suddenly looks a million times more concerned. Someone, please help. ]

illumise and volbeat

I wouldn't mind at all if you came along with me.

[ The pair of bug Pokémon are absolutely delighted with the offer. Naminé feels bad about putting them in the pokéballs, so... they're just hanging out beside her. Find her around (wherever!). She's probably playing with the bugs, or she's trying to find a good snack for them... ]

[Worry seed]

[brokencode]

[Angel was used to not being able to sleep. Often times, the pain of her treatment was too great for her to ignore, or the eridium left her too wired. Her body was already being held together by purple strings back then — insomnia wouldn't have done anymore damage.]

[Angel certainly was a little more vulnerable now that she was free of her father's machinations. Though her body indeed felt weary, her wits were still about her.]

[And those wits were telling her to laugh at the joke she had heard from the girl she passed by. A laugh that died in her throat as she saw the states both girl and pokemon were in.]

Excuse me but... are you alright?

[chainbroke]

Oh--yes, I'm alright!

[ It's kind of... an automatic response, and Naminé doesn't look very sure of herself, actually. ]

Actually-- I haven't been able to sleep very well.

[brokencode]

[Whatever remained of Angel's mirth quickly died in her throat at the girl's words. She knelt beside her, giving a knowing sort of nod.]

You too?

[chainbroke]

Mm-hmm.

[ She's so tired. Naminé is used to weird things happening here, since she's been here before, but this is... a different level. ]

How long has it been affecting you?

[Krieg is out and about with his trusty chicken buddy, rambling outdoors together as has become their habit. He's inclined to leave random strangers he spots from a distance to their own devices, but Murder Chicken is probably the world's nosiest Combusken, and always has to waddle up to new people and their Pokemon to say hello. Which is what he's doing now.

It takes a moment or so for Krieg to notice he's lost his little yellow-and-orange shadow, but when he does, he pauses in his wanderings to locate his strayed Pokemon. When he sees him, and notes what he's getting up to, he rolls his eyes and sits down right where he is to wait for the introductions to conclude and for Murder Chicken to come back.

MC approaches Namine and Neela at an excited, scrambling pace, but actually does stop a polite distance away to make his greetings:]

Combusken!

[Hello, hi! How are you both? Isn't it a lovely day?]

[chainbroke]

[ In her exhausted and half-delirious state, Naminé jumps. She immediately feels guilty as heck about it, because it's just a Combusken--and a very friendly one at that. Neela trills softly, bouncing a circle around the fiery chicken, and Naminé lifts a hand in a wave. ]

H-hello.

[fuelthefire]

[Today is a good day for making friends! Murder Chicken squawks happily as he watches the Skitty's progress circling him, and then blinks and fluffs all his feathers as adorably as he knows how when Namine raises her hand - does this mean she's going to pet him???]

[chainbroke]

[ Oh, no, he's so cute... well, she can't resist patting the chicken's head. ]

You're very friendly...

[fuelthefire]

'Busken!

[Indeed he is! The cutest and friendliest of chickens! Also he loves head pats, and will absolutely ham it up as much as possible in order to prolong said pats!

...Somebody should maybe tell the chicken that he's not a dog...someday...]

[chainbroke]

[ Naminé, as tired as she is, lets out a little laugh. ]

Are you hungry? I have some Poké Puffs...

[fuelthefire]

[Poké Puffs! Murder Chicken lights up, eyes widening in earnest as he begins to attempt to look even more cute than before. He's not really hungry but he loves Poké Puffs and he can never, ever have enough!]

Com! Bus! Ken!

[Please feed him, nice lady!]

[chainbroke]

[ Awww, she can't resist that... Naminé pulls a Puff from her bag. It's an orange one, just like him! ]

Here you go.

[fuelthefire]

[Orange is the best color! Also the best flavor! Murder Chicken is delighted, and accepts the Puff with a happy squawk, holding it carefully in both claws to begin daintily nibbling.

A little ways off, Krieg is rolling his eyes at the Combusken's shenanigans, and also getting impatient, as he does. This little meet-and-greet is taking a lot longer than normal, so he gets up from where he's been sitting to shamble on over. MC greets him with a happy squawk, spraying crumbs everywhere as he does, and Krieg regards him with an indulgent eye.]

Making friends?

[chainbroke]

[ Luckily, since Naminé remembers her previous time here, she's not as terrified as she might otherwise be. Still, Krieg cuts a really imposing figure, and there's the mask, and...

But the Combusken seems happy to see him! Not scared or anything, and as far as Naminé's concerned, that's good enough for her.

She's still pretty unsure about the guy, though, especially since she hasn't slept in a few days... ]

H-hello.

[fuelthefire]

[His gaze shifts from Murder Chicken to the girl. He squints briefly as he tilts his head to one side.]

Hey.

[Then he twitches his gaze back to MC and crouches down next to him, reaching over to pat his head with one big hand before returning his attention to Namine.]

...You okay?
