telepathy!!
Date: 2019-11-26 07:02 am (UTC)Ah... well I don't get to do much fighting here... so I had to find something to preoccupy myself with.

[ But then both dull in place of: ]
Wait, working? School work?
Are you with a teacher?
[ ??? blue are you in class currently ]

I'd give anything to get a DVD set of the Rangers, even without a TV. Readin' the blurb would be more interesting than most of this place.

I work here. Part time! It's convenient, since It gives me plenty of time to get to books I'm looking into on my own.
I told you I was interested in researching monsters here, right?
Anyway, come meet me at the returns desk. Whatever this is better be good!
Re: telepathy!!
Date: 2019-11-26 10:30 pm (UTC)Still, metalworking is pretty tough work, I bet! I gotta hand it to you, this thing looks pretty accurate! Didja get Gyarados to model for you behind my back?
Re: ACTION
Date: 2019-11-26 10:34 pm (UTC)Can't you ask your Arehtei for one, if you wannit that bad?
--Who is yours, anyway? [Blue blinks, suddenly realizing he doesn't really know who any of the others from their world fell under...]
no subject
Date: 2019-11-26 10:55 pm (UTC)Oh, sure! It will — see ya in a sec!
[ And with that the connection will fall, Tidus grabbing directions from the Welcome staff (also a mini-map!) before heading for the library. He doesn't get lost luckily, but the walk and climb up the steps into the district still takes around five or ten minutes. But once he's in through the double doors, Tidus searches immediately for the most obvious part of Blue to look for.
His spiky head of hair. It sure helps Tidus know where the returns desk is in the first place, and it's big enough presence for Tidus to spot him easy (that is, the hair). So he strolls on over, remembering what Blue said about him meant to be working, that when he reaches him, he gives him a light and friendly slap on the back on a shoulder. ]
Hey there, staff! I need a book in the [ uhhh ] science section. Help me out!
[ VERY UN-SUBTLY NODDING HIS HEAD TOWARDS ALL THE BOOKS, HINT HINT, PRIVACY. Also don't worry, he used his ... kinda indoors voice there!
(he still got looks) ]

Yours?
Re: telepathy!!
Date: 2019-11-28 03:41 pm (UTC)Well, anyway... thanks for it. I'll keep it on my desk.
no subject
Date: 2019-11-30 10:51 pm (UTC)[Blue sighs to himself once the connection is dropped, and tidies up the pile of books he was working through processing; somehow, he has a feeling he isn't going to have a chance once this guy shows up...]
[Spiky he may be, bobbing orange-headed at the returns desk, and serves Tidus with a withering look when he oh-so-casually tries to cajole him into the back of the stacks for some.... science.]
[Sheesh....] If you're gonna be so obvious about it, you might as well not bother trying to act. [He snickers to himself, brushing Tidus' hand away from his shoulder.] I bet you suck at lying.
[But he gets up from the desk with a stack of books in his arms to return, and waves Tidus along to follow him.]
What'd you wanna bug me about, anyway?
Re: ACTION
Date: 2019-11-30 10:53 pm (UTC)[Blue blinks, and makes a face. He doesn't know how he should feel that Archie shares an Arehtei with Killua.... But then again, it seemed like Peromei wasn't too uncommon.]
[Maybe there was something about their character that was just... common? He wonders what kind of emotion it was.]
I'm aligned to Aiada! [He puffs his chest out proudly.] Who's obviously the best one, cuz she's so nice. She never seemed to mind returning my Pokémon to me.
Re: ACTION
Date: 2019-11-30 11:29 pm (UTC)[he waves up at one of the big cracks in the bark, like if she's in there she could see it. she probably is not.]
Looks like a Muk when she's overwhelmed with our despair, though...
no subject
Date: 2019-11-30 11:40 pm (UTC)You didn't even try. [ Which is even worse! How is it going to work if Blue doesn't join in? But Tidus will follow him all the same, in all his casual ol' Jock Stride. Not really paying any interest to any of these so-called Books. ]
I found a job to help some kind of special animal that's gotten itself stuck around a village. Apparently it's crafty and hard to catch, but it's also rare. They call it a strivina. Sound familiar?
[ Tidus has some deets, but might as well see if Blue doesn't already know about it himself.
bug me if you want a fake bio or make one up, idc]Re: ACTION
Date: 2019-12-01 12:31 am (UTC)[Blue hums to himself. Arehtei really did have a lot of Pokémon-like attributes- he glances up to the tree with surprise, as if expecting to see Peromei there. He hadn't met her before.]
I see Aiada's sprites around here a lot, too. This tree has some weird powers, right? I wonder why they all hang around here...
no subject
Date: 2019-12-01 12:37 am (UTC)[Maybe blondie here should consider picking one of these up... Blue rolls his eyes to himself, but pauses to listen when 'special animal' comes outta his face.]
'Strivina'? [Blue raises a hand to his chin in thought, then waves for Tidus to follow him as he strolls into the zoology books.] I saw some books about them, I think..... They're skittish, not really threatening, but got what people around here consider 'strange powers'. I wonder what Type they are....
Ah, here.
[He pulls a book out and flips it open between himself and Tidus.]

Date: 2019-12-01 07:57 pm (UTC)[archie just shrugs and looks away, crouching to give mightyena a pat.]
Dunno, but it involves memories. So if you don't mind, I'm gonna get goin' 'fore it brings me up somethin' I don't wanna see.
no subject
Date: 2019-12-02 01:58 pm (UTC)Strivina
A quadruped mammal, herbivore. They live in the deepest parts of Empatheias's forests, protected by their nimble physique and ability to conjure copies of themselves that appear to have a will of their own. Their pelt is highly prized by the higher class and hunters for clothing, while their antlers go for an even higher price on the black market due to the flowers that will always bloom from them if properly cared for.
There's a drawing beside the text, and Tidus taps a forefinger against it while digging into a pocket. ]
Yeah, this is the thing. This sounds like the job. [ Which he has a copy of the details for, bringing the crumbled paper up, if Blue wants to check it out. ]
They think it might be young and got separated from its parents, so it doesn't know what to do or how to get back. [ Maybe that the parents got killed, but there's no reason to throw that out. ] It could also be injured. But there's already other jobs asking for a higher price than these guys for it, and reading this? It doesn't sound like the thing's safe.
no subject
Date: 2019-12-05 12:48 am (UTC)'Job' you said.... But, what kind of job is it, huh? Are you sure the one you got there is any more noble than what the hunters or whatever are offering?
Not that I'd honor it, anyway. [He huffs, leaning against the bookshelves.] I don't care about the reward, in that case, but what about you? If you're asking my help, you know I might sabotage it if they want to harm it, and you won't get paid in that case- you're okay with that?
no subject
Date: 2019-12-05 11:45 am (UTC)If you knew what you were doing? Sure. [ He tilts his head in a shrug. ] The money isn't more important to me. But it read like these guys have an idea of what to do with it once they get it. Read it. [ A nod to the sheet. Come on, Blue, open his crumbled paper!! ]
It sounds like a kind of wildlife help group. They even have an address for people to go over and see them if they're planning on helping. You know, to coordinate.
[ Tidus gives a small shrug with his shoulders this time, but looks at Blue encouragingly. ]
Can't hurt to check them out, right?
no subject
Date: 2019-12-07 01:49 am (UTC)[Blue's attention catches, his posture noticeably pausing with its attention held on Tidus for a moment before adjusting his lean to turn towards him more. After his initial surprise, his look turns thoughtful, then slightly skeptical.]
I've never heard of a group like that, around here...
[He takes the paper, uncrumpling and smoothing it out to read it on his own. At the very least, his attention seems much more genuine, now.] Are they like Pokémon Rangers...? I mean, are they licensed? Like the Enforcers?
...I guess it wouldn't hurt to investigate this, but even if I decide not to help them, I can still help the Strivina out. Or try, anyway.
no subject
Date: 2019-12-10 04:08 pm (UTC)Nonetheless, Tidus nods his head. ]
Let's see how it turns out. [ An echo of what he already said, but giving encouragement. Though Tidus does pause, looking around them. ]
...You're not gonna need an excuse to get out of work, are you? [ He gestures out to the library. ]
Just tell them there's an emergency!
[ Here's Tidus to help with very original excuses. It's kinda true! ]
no subject
Date: 2019-12-11 02:48 am (UTC)[In any case he sure is a lot less cold-shoulder than he was when Tidus arrived, and he's still scanning the paper and the book he had opened up, trying to absorb some more information about the Strivina that might be helpful in safely capturing it.]
It uses illusions and stuff... A Dark or Ghost-type Pokémon might be the best way to handle it, but I don't have any with me. Hopefully a Psychic-type will be enough.
[With an air of confidence, and a decisive snap shut of the book, he puffs up his chest and tidies away the books he was handling.] I'm sure I can come up with something less lame than your excuses. [He grins, digging a Pokéball up from his belt and motioning for Tidus to follow him towards the big front desk and the exit.]
[Indeed, with a serious tone, he leans across the desk and explains to an authoritative-looking woman that one of his fellow Otherworlders had an emergency with their creatures, and it was imperative that Blue assisted. Blue must not play hooky often- goody-twoshoes- because it's accepted without question.]
[It was kinda true!!] I wasn't totally lying. [He comments as they exit the library, tossing his Pokéball forward to release... a giant eagle.] Pidgeot, we're going.
no subject
Date: 2019-12-11 10:50 am (UTC)Uh huh. Sounds totally different from what I suggested. [ But oh, can't keep up that sass when a giant....bird comes onto the scene? What the-- ]
What-- wait, we're flying that? [ ...WAIT A MINUTE. ] Why didn't we use them to get around the desert?!
[ WHY DID YOU MAKE HIM (them) WALK AROUND, BLUE!! ]
