Well, yeah, I figured that. It's not hard to remember how to eat and sleep, after all. [ he didn't mean to sound deadpan, but it was there and it was in the open. it happens. ] But now that I think about it, yeah, it might be hard for those who never had to, huh...

[ that earns him a blink and a moment of stunned silence. ] Yeah? When the hell does that happen?

[dreamsofahero]

That, and it's probably best to take it easy at first, rather than risk pushing yourself beyond your limits.

*there is great irony in Sion of all people saying that...*

Typically, once each in the late spring and the late autumn. The precise timing can vary, but it seems to nearly always occur over the course of a weekend.

Of course, any number of other strange things may happen during that time, as well.

[divinereaper]

... well, it's a little late for that, really.

[ he maaaayyy have almost hurt himself in the process of getting his litwick under control. not that he's going to say that. ]

I came from a world that is nothing but strange. I think I'll be fine.

[dreamsofahero]

*that gets a raised eyebrow*

Let me guess, you thought you could handle a Pokemon battle yourself?

*that seems to be the usual culprit, people overestimating their abilities and underestimating the little 'mons*

Well, it won't happen for another few months, in any case, so in the mean time you can get used to how things are normally like, here.

[divinereaper]

You can't prove that.

[ he totally can. ]

I like normalcy, so I think I can adapt easy... I just didn't expect.... that.

[ his arm returning to normal, losing his eye and vampirism... there was a lot that went back to normal. ]

[dreamsofahero]

I don't see why I'd need to, when your response has conveniently done so for me.

*yep, Sion sure is that kind of person*

I imagine the changes must take people affected quite by surprise, yes. Though I'm sure if you ask around enough, you'll be able to find others in a similar situation who might be able to help you adjust.

[divinereaper]

And you're an asshole.

[ there was little to malice in those words, but still... don't call him out.... he knows...... ]

Definitely, but it might be rare. But just a little bit of hope helps a lot.

[dreamsofahero]

*that response just gets a laugh out of Sion; his best friend says stuff like that to him all the time!*

I don't know about people who were once human, changed, and then human again, but there's quite a few who were never human in the first place, actually.

[divinereaper]

Guess this world pulls anyone and everyone in, huh? Sounds like it can be a second chance for anyone.

[ it wasn't so much a second chance for him, but the thought was interesting enough that he had to say it. as is typical for naoto. ]

... but hey, do you know what this thing is called? I've been calling it Candelaria, but I'd like a name for its kind? [ he lifts the fidgety litwick into frame. ]

[dreamsofahero]

That'd certainly one way of looking at it.

*Sion's own feelings are... complicated. But he's also been here for years*

Ah, those are known as Litwick. And you can use the device you're currently using to communicate to look up more information on that or any other Pokemon, actually.

[divinereaper]

Wait, really? This thing? I gotta fiddle with this thing more.

[ he glances at his litwick. ] But at least I know its name. I started calling it Candelaria so I didn't call it lil' gal too much...

[dreamsofahero]

Indeed. It will also provide you more detailed information on the status of any you currently possess.

*it's handy for all sorts of things!*

Well, you can still give it a name or nickname of its own, if you like. Unless you're the type of person to name your dog Dog?

[divinereaper]

Man, keep pushing your luck like that and you'll see what you get.

[ yes, he may be an open book, but he's also the type whose punches feel being ran into by a semi-truck. ]

Litwick's a lazy name anyways. I like my nickname better.

[dreamsofahero]

*please, Sion's had worse. And teasing people is fun!*

That, and it will make it more clear whether you're talking about yours, or some other Litwick.

[divinereaper]

Fair enough... Either way, good to know. [ he takes what he can get, thank you very much!! ]

What's your name, anyways? I never caught it.

[dreamsofahero]

Sion Astal, co-leader of the Collegiate gym. And you?

*yep, the person who was just mildly trolling him is a gym leader*

[divinereaper]

Naoto. Naoto Kurogane...

[ ah. that's. useful. he knew he was hiding a lot of info but that... ]

You're the type to only tell people things when necessary, aren't you?

[dreamsofahero]

A pleasure to meet you.

*Sion's always got something he's not saying. For various reasons. It's pretty much a given with him!*

Well, I find that most people don't care to be told a lot of extraneous things that aren't relevant to what they're talking about, yes.

*... and he enjoys trolling people a little*

[divinereaper]

Well, cut it out. It's annoying.

[ he deals with sion's kind on a daily basis. a little break would be nice. ]

[dreamsofahero]

*that earns a raised eyebrow*

So you'd rather everyone start a conversation with you, not with answering your question, but stating their name, current profession, and anything else that might tangentially be relevant?

[divinereaper]

It would be a welcome change from what I have to deal with.

[ imagine not being told everything from the get-go. couldn't be him. ]

[dreamsofahero]

Really? I daresay most people would feel otherwise...
