[ 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. ]

no subject
I honestly don't know why the people who put us here do things that way. But they always show up in the village instead of with us. It's...a little bad when it's really cold out, but that's just how things are.
no subject
Hmm, well... I can still put this on for now!
[Though, how to, how to.. he thinks on it for a second, then looks to Snorlax, stepping over to him after he does.]
Hey, Snorlax! If I hold this out for you, can you put your claws through it?
[At that request, Snorlax makes a confused sound to go along with his expression. What?? But Red's already slipping a hand inside the shirt, holding the area stretched out.]
Just two, so I can wear it!
[Snorlax thinks this has to be one of the weirdest requests he's heard. Saori, do you have any input to give before the demise of Red's shirt (rip in piece)?]
no subject
Stop. If you want to add holes for your wings, allow me. No offense to your friend, but I believe I can be a bit more precise, and...probably a bit more gentle.
[Holding out a hand, she waits expectantly for him to hand over the shirt. No point in destroying perfectly good fabric!]
Give it to me, and I'll fix it up.
no subject
I'd do it, but I don't have my knife on me. Are you sure you can tear it?
no subject
I can cut it, don't worry.
[Taking the shirt, she holds it up between them and studies the boy's back for a moment, noting wing placement. And then she twitches her finger, gathering wind along the tip of it, a razor sharp blade of air. Two quick slashes later, and the deed is done. Two neat, perfect slits wide enough for his wings.]
There. All done.
no subject
And then, like that, with a movement of her finger, the sound of fabric tearing reaches his ears and his problem goes. His eyes widens and he steps closer, ready to take the shirt and see what she's done with it.]
What-- [He'll just stand flabbergasted for a second.] Was that another spirit thing!?
[Below him, Saur tries to look up to see, and Pikachu tries to do the same. He would climb up, but he know Red prefers it more when he's wearing a shirt than climbing against his skin.
But hey, Snorlax can see, and he can have a nice confuddled look on his face. How'd the lady do that??]
no subject
It was. I...suppose I won't frighten you off now by telling you what I am.
[She bends down with an amused little smile on her face, whispering almost conspiratorially. Maybe it's a bit much, but since he did guess, theatrics are called for!]
Red. I am not human. When you say 'another spirit thing' you're right. I am a Myojin means I am both a spirit and...a god.
no subject
He listens to what she says, and it takes a moment for it to (try to) sink in.]
...Wha? A god? [A pause.] Like a pokémon?
[Trying to comprehend this. What?? What?? Just let him take a step back, just so he can properly see Saori. Was she teasing him?]
no subject
I'm not a pokemon, no. Maybe there are godly pokemon in your world, but in mine...we mostly look like people.
[She holds up a palm, conjuring up a tiny little raincloud, smiling to herself as a tiny thunderbolt darts out into the air.]
I was a human once, a long, long time ago, but something changed me. I am the god of summer storms now. I know magic, which is how I was able to cut your shirt. And I have the power to change the weather as it suits me.
[Her eyes flick up to meet his, the cloud floating to a space between the two of them. Her voice softens, turning gentle and hopefully disarming.]
Does this bother you, Red? That I'm not human?
no subject
Human? Not human? Sorta human?
It's like he can't move his eyes away from the storm cloud, but he does when she speaks. And looking at her, it's like seeing somebody different. But he's only just met her, really.
Is he bothered?]
No? I... I don't know. [His eyes are drawn to the cloud again.] It's weird.
[It's very weird. But he's pulled in to it again, always a boy who's always been too curious for his own good. The step taken back is reversed as a part of him wants to see the sight closer. Saur is still by his side, though Pikachu's moved back with some caution for the electricity stored in his own body being drawn out into the air.
It's Snorlax who goes from where he stood and closer to the storm cloud, to stick out a paw to feel the tiny patter of rain.
A thought then occurs to Red.]
What you did with my wings - was that you?
no subject
Good! Because it's just a part of who I am, and I think you're a sweet boy. It doesn't make me all that different from you, really, when it comes to personality or how I feel about people. Mostly.
[When Snorlax's paw moves under the cloud, he'll definitely feel the warm, pleasant sensation of a summer rain, and the lightning stops immediately, suppressed to prevent anyone from getting a shock.]
And...no, your wings wasn't me. That was me...borrowing...something from Nala. This world has it's own spirits, beings that are willing to share their power with the people here. My own powers aren't able to heal, but she lends that to me. And you too, if you decide you want to learn.
no subject
So... you were human, but then... you weren't? Or. [No, he wants to fix saying that.] You got powers that let you make storms even though you're human?
no subject
I was human. It's...a very, very long story. But suffice to say, I became something more than human. A...reward...shall we say, for doing the right thing. Maybe I'll tell you the story sometime, but not today. I don't want to give you too much information on your first day.
[The little cloud drifts closer to Snorlax, playfully dancing around his chest.]
This is how I am, human or not. Powers or not. I didn't want to surprise you in the future, and I don't like hiding what I am. I just didn't want you to get a false impression of me, and I couldn't avoid saving your shirt from your friend's claws without my magic. It's nothing to worry about, or think too much on. I live here, the same as you do, now.
no subject
Red watches it, smiling a little, and he tries to take in all of Saori's words.]
I don't really get it. It's all pretty- weird. And I think if I did try and think about it, I'll just hurt my head in confusion. [He puts his hands at the side of his head, just rubbing at his face and making a groaning sound. A silly thing, something he cuts short once he realises that he has only really known Saori for five seconds, and looks away to the ground with some embarrassment.
But he perks back up, putting on a smile and putting his arms through his shirt.]
But you've been helpful since we met so I guess it doesn't matter. [A bigger smile, and then he pulls the shirt over-] And the wings are ten times weirder!
[Speaking of those wings, time to get stuck between them. Wait, he got his head through. Sorta. Uh.]
no subject
Exactly! I'm here to help, after all. It doesn't really matter, and if you think too hard about it rather than just accepting it, then you won't get much done. Now, here, let me help you again.
[She takes another step closer, reaching for his shirt and holding open the slits in the back while leaving the cloud to dance around the pair of pokemon.]
We'll get some proper clothes for you in town, at least.
no subject
[And when she says about proper clothes, he can't help but to look at her and then at himself.] Proper clothes? You mean... clothes like yours?
[Red are you really possibly thinking everybody dresses as Saori does here--]
no subject
No, no. I mean finding you clothes that have been tailored for wings. If you want something like mine, or a similar style...I'm sure we could find you something.
[She claps her hands]
You'd look nice in a shitagi, I think!
no subject
[He clutches the front of his shirt, like she might whip it off and put him into a shitawhatever right there.]
I like shirts and trousers just fine thanks!!
[Pikachu takes that time to climb up up on Red's clothing, up to his shoulder and giving his cheek a bump with his head.]
no subject
I'm joking! It's perfectly fine, I even wear shirts and jeans at times myself. There's a certain comfort in having traditional clothes though.
[And Pikachu is just adorable...]
no subject
People don't really wear that stuff where I'm from... [!]
Oh! But, at the last gym I visited the leader wore some old fashioned clothes. Ki...mono? [He makes a motion at the upper sides of his waist, then moves his hands to the front of his legs as he speaks-]
It had holes in the side of the skirt here and here, and there were folds in it like normal skirts have.
[Pleats, but he doesn't know the word.]
no subject
[She turns and smiles at him.]
Kimono certainly are. They're a kind of traditional garment in my home. I usually wear them myself. Though, never to a gym. That would make exercise hard.
Unless...
[She pauses, suddenly curious.]
What do you do at a gym?
no subject
[Pause.] But I don't think the gym leader was worried about getting sweaty... when I met her she was fast asleep.
no subject
What? You...go to gyms and challenge them to a fight? That sounds like what used to happen in my world's past. Are you a swordsman? Or a boxer?
no subject
[Oh, wait, she apparently... doesn't know anything about those. Let's explain more.]
Pokémon trainers fight with their pokémon. We train them and take on gym leaders to show how capable we are as a team!
no subject
Ah, well then. I understand that sort of thing then. They're more than just friends, then?
