[ 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. ]

Comments

[windandrain]

Oh I'd like that, most definitely.

[She's patiently waiting, and while she is she's getting out her own journal.]

I'm going to send you something from my book to yours, a guidebook written by a woman here. Honestly, the easiest thing would be to think of these books like computers, though...

[pokeboy]

Like computers? [He brings the journal out in one hand, looking at it. And waves it a bit, letting the pages flap.] What, this thing?

[And then a smile creeps on his face, looking at Saori.] Wait, gods use computers? Do you send e-mails and presents to each other?

[The fact that as much of he knows about gods are pokémons with that title, and the talk about old-fashioned clothing, there's some amusement in the imagery of Saori at one. He's being playful with the question, for sure.]

[windandrain]

Yes. Here.

[She opens up her own journal to the main page, the one with the camera.]

And...actually no, I don't. At home, anyway. The electricity in my body will damage them. But here, well, things are a little different. There's something about this place that makes my powers weaker, so I can actually use electronic things. I've gotten pretty good at using them, but it's something I learned here.

[pokeboy]

Oh... that sounds tricky. [He decides to step closer, just to see her book and the page it's on, opening up his own to that one as well.]

There's a guide here?

[Meanwhile, behind them, Snorlax will just be making a bit of noise as he starts to walk around their area a bit, sniffing the air...]

[windandrain]

[She nods and presses a button, so the guide should appear on his journal.]

There, I sent it to you.

[And...when she hears Snorlax making noise, she turns to look at the enormous fuzzball. What's up with him?]

[pokeboy]

[Red takes interest in what comes onto the journal first, seeing.... a long list of words. But Snorlax continues to move, forward in the direction they were going before journal faffing around. Pikachu, who had already been in front of them through his energised hopping, climbs onto Snorlax by his back, finding himself onto his shoulder.

Which actually makes Snorlax stop, from the tingling. He laughs instead, his voice deep and hard, and Red looks up from the pile of words.]

Snorlax, what's up? [The pokémon turns around, still chuckling, but manages to pat his belly with both paws. Jabu jabu Sorlax is hungry!]

Oh... [He turns to Saori.] I think Snorlax is getting hungry. [He takes another quick look at the guide on his book, which he raises some when he asks-] This won't go anywhere, will it?

[windandrain]

[She's ignoring the boy for the moment, watching the pokemon as they go through their antics. When Red speaks up, she turns back to him and nods sharply.]

Yes, it won't be going anywhere. And if he's hungry, we should get to town and get him something to eat. There's plenty there.

[She waves him on and starts walking at a brisk pace. Hungry animals that size can get up to all sorts of trouble.]

[pokeboy]

[Plenty to eat, you say? Snorlax will follow you, lady! Red's hesitant for a moment but follows along as well, with Saur keeping up to his side.]

Really? Is it going to be okay? I don't have any money...

[windandrain]

[She laughs again, looking at him cheerfully]

There's no money here, everything's free. And the reason why is a bit complicated, the guide will tell you all that when you have time to read it.

[pokeboy]

Oh. [Well, reading while they're walking won't work, so he'll just do that later-] Okay then!

[He'll go along with her! It's not like he could pay even if it weren't free, so..!]
