[At least this is one cat that actually likes him without him nearly dying.]

What about the ball it came out of.

[So he may not be thinking consciously about the 'this is a dream' scenario, which means he's going to ask a million questions about how it still doesn't make sense. But at least he's on his way.]

It's an easy mode of transport. You don't have to keep it in there, and a lot of people don't.

[He nods to the Aggron still resting its head on his shoulder.]

No clue how they work. But Armin or Ford might have an idea for you.

[He has no idea who those people are. Figures. He looks down at the pokemon in his arm while he walks and decides that moment: he's not keeping it in a ball of any kind. It deserves better.]

What does it eat?
shiro2hero: (launch me out the airlock)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2018-02-21 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Specialized food, for the most part. There's things like berries or treats. But they've all got their own special food.

Unless they're Kuro, and they occasionally eat hubcaps. Or chew on my arm.

[Just. Gonna give the big guy a LOOK.]

[So not people food and not just stuff he can find in the wild without knowing what it is first. Great. More stuff he'll have to remember.]

You... named it Kuro. [Okay, even Keith can smile a little at that. Because of course Shiro did.]

Cynthia | Fire Emblem: Awakening

[personal profile] flowerflourish 2018-02-21 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Goldenrod City-Action

"Wow..."

Trailing off, Cynthia stared up at the occasional towering structure and the sheer scope of the city. Sure, she'd grown up in Ylisstol, but this was something entirely different. This city was beyond what Cynthia could have ever really imagined, even after coming to Johto. After all, Violet was the biggest city she'd been to so far, and between the smaller size and the more traditional buildings-it honestly reminded her more of home than of *this* city.

Glancing behind her at her Swablu-that honestly looked just as worn out after over a week trekking from Azalea to here-Cynthia offered a smile. "Have you ever been here, Cotton?" The pokemon chirped lightly, a noise that Cynthia took as a 'no.' "Well, it should be fun! Let's find something to eat-come on!" Offering up its pokeball, Swablu made a clearly more agreeable noise this time before Cynthia recalled him.

The city, of course, was perhaps a bit too much to handle. Soon the girl was lost, having wandered down one or two of the wrong roads-which led to her trying to get the attention of the next person she ran into. "Hey! Can you help me find my way to the pokecenter?" Hopefully, they'd be helpful-if they were the shadier sort, Cynthia was capable of giving them a battle, but her pokemon were pretty tired.

Network-Video

Hey everyone!

[ It had taken Cynthia a while to figure the whole pokegear thing out, considering how unfamiliar she was with technology, but thankfully the device was pretty user-friendly. ]

I'm pretty new here-just got to Violet City, in fact!-but I've heard that there's a *lot* of us from other places here. So I was hoping, um, that maybe some others from Ylisse are here?

[ The girl's smile faded a bit towards a look of concern. She definitely seemed homesick, but there was resolve in her tone. ]

Like my sister, Lucina! Or Robin, or Owain, or even Inigo...

[ Shrugging, she forced her smile back on. ]

Even if you don't know anybody, though, it's nice to meet you all! This is a much better world than the one I came from.

[Kerberos rolls to the side, after smiling a bit doofily at the Litten. He smells like the ocean and fish.

Matt takes a breath and sits up.]


Alright. So. I'm assuming you know that the Kerberos mission went pear-shaped. It wasn't because of anyone making a mistake or anything malfunctioning. We were literally abducted by aliens. Big, purple cat-and-lizard aliens called the Galra. They're... pretty much imperialistic assholes bent on taking over the galaxy.

They caught Dad, Shiro, and I, and made us slaves. We all got separated, and Shiro broke out eventually, I broke out eventually... and I don't know where Dad is.

[There's a moment of pain on Matt's face and he clings to his knee without thinking about it.]

Azula's gaze falls to the pink, sweet looking bunny dog thing and looks unimpressed.

"If we're honest? No. I'd rather you just give me the pokemon and save us both the time and energy of a fight. Sure it's more fun crushing my opponents beneath my feet, but I can get more done in a day if you just accept your misfortune and move along."

Clearly Azula hadn't encountered a Sylveon before or she'd know what a terrible idea it was.

She snapped her fingers to send her dragon roaring into action, rushing forward and leaping into the air. A graceful spin led into his first and favorite attack, Dragon Tail!

Now Azula actually looked interested. It would be more fun battling another princess then some lowly knight. And it was rare to find another woman of noble birth who had combat experience.

She might actually enjoy this.

"And as a Princess and rightful Firelord to my entire Nation I will show you just how naive you really are."

With a dramatic flourish she threw her pokeball into the air summoning forth her first pokemon, a burly looking Growlith landed with a solid thud on it's paws creating small craters in the dirt.

Much like the Magikarp (Which was still flopping on the Metapod behind them) This Growlith had a fire in his eyes, ready and eager to battle. Smoke seeping from his mouth with each breath.

It is but I'll use the warp pads to get over to you. It won't take me that long.

[Plus, she was a friend so he was willing to make the trip.]

Yeah without you. [He enjoyed talking to you a lot more than he probably let you know, Sasha. But he's going to make sure to change that this time around.] Oh, man, remind me to show you pictures of the Squad when I get there.

[He grins now, clearly moving as he heads outside so he can get on the road, Bean following along behind him.]

You're not going to believe how many Magikarp I have now.
whatsacactus: (you did a bad job with me GOD)

[personal profile] whatsacactus 2018-02-21 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's listening intently, hands clenched together and elbows on his knees. His eyes go hard by the end, remembering something that pissed him off at the time; a banked fire that starts flaring again.]

Iverson told me it was a pilot error, and I didn't believe it for a second. He wouldn't let anyone see the reports.

[He misses the look, just for a second thinking back to those last few weeks at the Garrison before he was... escorted out. How many arguments he had before it escalated.]

But you're both safe.
tookashirototheknee: (laughing)

[personal profile] tookashirototheknee 2018-02-21 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Neither did Pidge. She disguised herself and snuck into the Garrison under an assumed name.

[There's an amused pride in Matt's voice as he talks about his sister.]

We are now. I got connected with some of the rebels, and Shiro... well, he's out there leading the flagship group that's restoring hope to everyone.

"Let's go! Cotton!" Emerging from Cynthia's pokeball was an energetic Swablu, his chirps and cooing displaying an entirely different personality than either of Azula's pokemon. Here was a creature that, while it was probably trained to fight, was definitely more about having fun than defeating his opponent.

Steely resolve in her gaze, Cynthia leveled her finger at the Growlithe. "Fury Attack, now!" Gliding with deceptive speed towards the other pokemon, Cotton took aim, hoping to strike Growlithe with a series of pecks.
whatsacactus: (here's that part again)

[personal profile] whatsacactus 2018-02-21 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
She's probably why they beefed up security.

[But Matt seems okay? Almost happy, even, considering the circumstances. Probably more to do with this place than anything.]

That... Sounds like something he'd do. [There's a tiny bit of pride in that.] Probably doing a lot of good out there.
tookashirototheknee: (smile)

[personal profile] tookashirototheknee 2018-02-21 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably. Then again, she has hacked into their files multiple times. I wouldn't be surprised if she'd break through just about anything they could come up with.

[A pause, and a smile. There's also pride in his voice as well.]

Oh, definitely. He's a hero to a lot of people.

[As are you. Even when you're prickly and grouchy.]
whatsacactus: <user name="signalize"> (a murder most foul)

[personal profile] whatsacactus 2018-02-21 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.] I'm glad. He was always too big for the Garrison anyway.

[He looks back to his litten, pawing at spheal now clearly having more fun with it than being nervous anymore.]

You said something about me leaving.
tookashirototheknee: (oh god no)

[personal profile] tookashirototheknee 2018-02-21 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
He totally was. I just... wish that we could make him see that.

[Kerberos has made a friend! He claps his flippers, rolling forward and back and cheerfully chattering at the Litten.

Matt sighs, taking a breath. This is the hard part.]


Yeah. So, when Shiro broke out, he stole a ship which, mostly due to dumb luck, crashlanded on Earth outside of the Garrison. You came from your shack, Pidge and a couple of her friends showed up from the Garrison... and then you found a mechanical lion space ship that was hidden in a cave.

[He thinks for a moment.]

I think you had been finding some weird waves coming out of the desert that you were looking into, and Hunk and Pidge made a... something to track it. I wasn't around for any of this, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details.

whatsacactus: (if we just sat and talked for a little w)

[personal profile] whatsacactus 2018-02-21 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh- Something clicks instantly and it's clear as day on his face.]

They were- I mean - I spent a month out there, there were these, these cave drawings of lions. They were everywhere. I couldn't figure out what they were or where they came from.

[But if Shiro crash landed, that means the Garrison had to admit they were wrong. His mind is moving a mile a minute and he was never good at vocalizing what he's thinking when it gets going.]
tookashirototheknee: (smile)

[personal profile] tookashirototheknee 2018-02-21 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It was related to those cave drawings!

[Don't underestimate the power of Iverson's ability to cover things up, Keith. Matt's smiling, however, and sitting forward a bit.]

So, yeah. It seems that one was one of five that come together to make a huge robot called Voltron.
notvaljean: (spoof on Marco)

[personal profile] notvaljean 2018-02-21 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You probably got a Litten! Those are great! They're fire cats that grow up into wrestlers.
whatsacactus: (you fit just right)

[personal profile] whatsacactus 2018-02-21 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He was on this journey as far as that. His expression flattens a bit and he sits back, his litten sensing a change in the tone and comes to paw at his pant leg.]

That... sounds like a show you guys would watch in the common room.

[Sasha shakes her head only because she can't believe it. Maybe Connie would have missed her, sure, but he was her best friend and he wasn't here. She never expects to make such an impression on someone else to the point they would really notice her gone. It's just the way things have always been to her and while she doesn't think Noctis is lying to her--he has no reason to--his words are brand new to her ears and need a moment to settle in.]

But you had other people to talk to! Like um... I forgot his name, but he had one of those camera things? Him! How could it be quiet when you could talk to him?

[Prompto, she means. The guy with the blond weird hair. Gods, Noctis, do all of your people from your world have weird hair?]

How many? Five?

[Oh honey, Sasha. Try some multiplication on that number because Noctis has a problem.]

Well, yes, but I swear it's true.

[He almost wishes that he had something with him that would show what he was talking about.]

The aliens have so very advanced tech from what we're used to. I... sometimes it does feel like a dream. A deep, unending nightmare, really. But things are getting better. Somewhat.
shiro2hero: (oops accidentally charming)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2018-02-21 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't worry, buddy, your Litten probably knows already.]

Hey, I have a theme I gotta run with.

[And that's why he named his own fire cat "Red".]
whatsacactus: (yeah it's true all I do is wanna talk ab)

[personal profile] whatsacactus 2018-02-22 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
A theme, huh.

[He wasn't too far from Cherrygrove, and he kept walking the whole time he was talking.]

You said you'll get here?
