[ action / forest & town ]

[ A Add another number to the newbie arrival for this month. Red thankfully has friendly company to help him realise what the heck is on his back, and also to rip some holes in his shirt so he can stop wearing nothing over his chest. He's carrying the rest of the clothes though, he's not messing around with changing out in a forest at this time.

Maybe you're lurking around in the forest for whatever, and wow what is that big thing you see through the trees? Or wow, what's that faint, pleasant smell in the air?

But they'll also be found in the town, with the boy and his three pokémon finding themselves led there thanks to a good pair of ears.

They're free to approach, or maybe Red will approach your character should they not seem to be in a rush. ]

Uh, excuse me?

[ B A little trouble may or may not occur. Did somebody say something about Luceti and cookies??? Who's cooking? Because that aforementioned big round guy? Red was led to the town by Pikachu's ears and Snorlax's impressive Food Is Here senses. So if anybody is baking right now, the snorlax might juuust try to circle around your house (or wherever it is you're cooking), to try and find the source and how to get to the source.

What is that shadow creeping outside your kitchen window? What is that rattling on your door knob? Are you not even in a house with food? Well, you may not be so alone for long...

Hi, sexy food havers.

Restaurants are also not safe. ]

[ voice/video ]

[ Red may or may not really get this thing already. Either way he, with maybe the head of one of his pokémon peeking at the side, will be looking at the book in bewilderment. ]

Uh... Hello?

[ A+ work, Red. ]

[With a bit of a heave, it's back up and standing right! And thankfully, it looks fine.] It looks good! [Phew, that makes him feel better. Some more of the product that had kept inside has fallen out, but Red's all picking it back up afterwards.

He hadn't overheard the free part, though- but her question comes up first, and it's best to answer the girl whose store you just banged up.]

They're pokémon! They're my partners. [A hand motion out to Pikachu.] He's Pikachu. [And then to the two outside-] That's Snorlax, and that's Ivysaur!

[Time for an explanation? yes.][Though Red can't really totally blame Snorlax- even he's hungry, a little. Which reminds him, back to what she originally said.]

But is everything here really free?

[Behind him, Snorlax's ears perk up. Did somebody say something possibly interesting about food? HE'S LISTENING...]

[clumsyduck]

[Pokemon.... Pokemon.... Oh!]

Oh! These are pokemon? Those are really cool. Iris showed me some of her pokemon when she was here, but I don't remember which ones they were...

Yeah. It's hard to believe, but everything is technically free.

[pokeboy]

[The aspect of talking about pokémon excites this dear Red, but he thinks for a second- then looks at her, a grind on his face.]

I can tell you all about them if you want! But, if the food's here free, do you think it's okay if me and my pokémon have some?

[He feels cheeky asking it after the little mess, and scratches at behind his head.] Actually, see...I'm kinda hungry too. Eh heh!

[clumsyduck]

That would be great!

[Ah food...]

Well, I don't think the bakery would be the best place for that, but I can show you where to get something.

[pokeboy]

Yeah? [But then, thinking, Red moves closer, lowering his voice so that Snorlax won't hear-]

Do you think Snorlax's gonna be okay there? He kinda gets excited around too much food...

[The pokémon might already be making eyes and sulky noise towards the bakery with all the edible product it is being denied to eat.]

[clumsyduck]

Hmm.... Maybe we can pick something up...?

[pokeboy]

! [Red's face lights up, and he nods.] Great idea!

[He steps back away, and looks at the rest.] Okay, we're going to get some food- [Snorlax's face lights up!!] -but you all have to stay in one spot- [Snorlax's face lights down] -'til we come back with something. [Snorlax's face is unsure, and Red walks up to him.]

We'll get something now, then we'll go looking after for more. Okay? I promise. Just like we've been doing together already.

[The pokémon grumbles, thinking about it, and then growls out a rough"Snorrlax" But when he stands and rises (slowly), he seems to have a happier face. And when he makes a sound again, it's more agreeable.]

Heh. Thanks Snorlax. [Red holds for a moment near at his paw, then lets go and looks at Duck.]

Where's the place?

[clumsyduck]

[She couldn't help but giggle to the scene.]

This way.

[She was just hoping they would be okay in here while she was a away. She led him out of the bakery.]

[pokeboy]

[Snorlax and Saur were already outside, so there wouldn't be an issue. And while Red initially makes mentions of them staying in place, he spots the fountain in the centre and decides to point them all to over in that direction. 'Wait there, okay?'

And he'll leave all three of them together, to take care of each other. Things don't seem entirely bad where they are, so leaving them in the company of each other, even without him, doesn't put too much worry into Red. He'll follow whatever direction that he's taken to by the girl, likely looking around at his surroundings at the same time.]

[clumsyduck]

[Knowing they'd be okay on their own made her feel a little better. It didn't take too long to arrive in front of the stores. Opening the door for Seventh Heaven for him.]

This is Seventh Heaven. They have food here. If you need your other stuff, I can help you find that too if you have anything extra.

[pokeboy]

[He looks through the door - people sitting inside, but hopefully he could order something (a lot of something). but he looks back at her when she talks.]

My other stuff? Like stuff I had with me?

[clumsyduck]

[It probably wasn't a bad idea to get something for herself too while she was there.]

Yeah. Some people come with other stuff. I only came with my pendent.

[pokeboy]

Really, so- my stuff isn't really gone!?

[Double-checking here. Triple checking even!!]

[clumsyduck]

I'm sure it's still in the shops.

[pokeboy]

Can we go there next?

[clumsyduck]

Of course!

[And now their food is done.]

[pokeboy]

Cool! [Excellent! And that will be a lot of food on Red's part. He gives a sheepish thanks for it all, trying to carry it all carefully so he can take it outside for his team! (or one of his team)]

[clumsyduck]

Do you need some help?

[She could help carry some of it for you.]

[pokeboy]

Oh- sure!

[There is quite a few boxes for takeaway, despite feeling bad about making such a large order (but they didn't say no...!). Orders of what sounded at least easy enough to make, and enough to make some sort of dent in Snorlax's stomach. Red stops still.]

Can you grab any?

[clumsyduck]

Sure!

[Grabbing some of them for him as she led the way to the item store.]

[pokeboy]

Thanks!

[And he's following, but noticing that they're going in a different direction-]

--Are you taking me to the shop now?

[clumsyduck]

Yeah. The stores aren't too far from each other, so it's convenient.

[pokeboy]

Oh, then let's drop these off with my pokémon first! Except, you don't want to leave yours with them. Actually, I better save mine too...

[clumsyduck]

Sure, we can do that first.

[And with that, she'll lead them back.]

[pokeboy]

[And to Red's pokémon they end up! Snorlax actually begins to stand up in excitement, but Red tells him not to.] It's okay, it's coming right to you, pal!

[With each of the takeaway boxes, Red undoes them, Snorlax already feasting on one as he does. For Pikachu and Ivysaur, there's a takeaway each of fruits, food more suited for them. As for Snorlax's pile? Sandwiches, mostly - and "foods going out of date too!" were asked for.]

Okay, she's going to take me to a place where my stuff might be. You lot enjoy yourselves. Snorlax, don't eat too quickly okay?

[Whether or not Snorlax listened is up to debate, but they each make a sound in response. Red turns to Duck, still with one takeaway left, giving her a nod.]

Let's go.
