88th moon [action/video]

[Action

Early on the morning of December 15th, a human and an Infernape enter Celadon, looking tired and dirty and generally like they haven't properly taken care of themselves for a few weeks. Still, they'll stop and chat with anyone interested, and in the monkey's case quite possibly flirt with any nearby ladies, Pokémon or human.

But sooner or later, they'll politely take their leave and keep going, until they finally reach their house. There, they'll promptly allow themselves to collapse on the couch, manners be damned. Sorry, teammates and guests]

[Video

Hours later, it's a now clean and fed man that can be seen on the network, still looking more than a little tired.]

Has anyone considered leaving caches of supplies hidden throughout the various caves in both regions, in case of emergencies? If those uncontrollable teleportations keep happening every six months, they'll be needed sooner or later.

[Not a minute after the two are off their feet, there's a commotion elsewhere in the house - the sound of paws thundering down the hall as a Houndoom barrels into the living room.

The dog turns on a dime and freezes, staring at Cecil and Infernape intently for a few seconds; then, he firmly sits down, lifting his nose and barking loudly. More noises of movement ensue from other rooms as the noise proceeds to awaken every living being in the house (and there are a lot of them).]

[Orthrus continues his barking, scooching around so he's making as much noise in the direction of the hall as possible. A Skarmory is the next one out, talons scrap-scrap-scrapping on the floor as she bursts into the room and begins sprinting laps around the couch.

She's followed - finally - by the one human guest currently present in the house, dressed in pajama pants and a plain shirt and clearly fresh out of bed. Walter looks groggy and disheveled but still wary, squinting at the couch from the doorway to the hall.]


...Who're you?

[He's not aware enough to form logical conclusions.]

[......

Walter staggers over to Orthrus and thwaps him lightly on the nose, putting an end to the stream of barking.

Now that it's not too loud to think, he returns to squinting at Cecil, slowly putting the pieces together.]


You're...the owner. [There we go. Any more brilliant deductions to share with the class?] ...You look like you just crawled out of hell.

[And then his brain finally catches up properly, and he blinks and tries that again.] Er...welcome back?
beholdmydemons: (talk - universal gesture for crazy)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2013-12-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...er. [He takes a step back into the hall.] I'll be just back out. [And he goes, leaving Cecil alone for a few minutes with his happy Pokemon.]

[When Walter comes back, he's dressed and looks less disoriented. He whistles, calling Orthrus and Gertrude away from the teeming crowd of Pokemon to mill around his ankles instead.]


Hoy, um. I'm sorry about that. [He walks into the living room to sit across from Cecil] I'm Walter. Ramza's out traveling for some while, said he was going to meet with a person.
beholdmydemons: (... - awkward)

[He's spent enough time around demons to know when to take the hint and avoid getting chewed on.] They...comported themselves with all dignity. I was asleep for a while, but I imagine Ramza'd have told me if anything went amiss.
beholdmydemons: (talk - yeaaaah)

[For a split second, Walter looks caught off-guard. This is the first he's heard of someone knowing what that whole...thing was, and the implication makes his stomach twist strangely.

He recovers quickly, though, waving a hand casually while he gets his words back in order.]
-Like I'd never been gone!
beholdmydemons: (... - shut up navarre)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2013-12-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Er...y-yes? [He's just a little startled by the sudden offers of food. He's startled by everything right now, to be honest - something about all of this strikes him as extremely surreal.

(He's not actually sure what pancakes are.)

Orthrus is starting to give him a Look, so Walter goes to feed him and Gertrude from the bags Ramza keeps in the closet, no doubt attracting some other attention in the process.]


I never heard much about our arrangement with you. How did Ramza come to - down, Orthrus - how did he come into this?
beholdmydemons: (talk - blink)

[.....fish dragons is where he draws the line. Sorry, guys.]

Simple as that? What do we owe for board?
beholdmydemons: (talk - here's the plan)

Doesn't seem too tall an order. [Implied question: "...seriously?"]

[...Pauses. That sounds ominous.]

Perhaps I'm...being hasty. [And he's adding at least three more to the mix, isn't he...]
beholdmydemons: (talk - hoy brother)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2013-12-23 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Mostly.]

So do you live here all the year 'round?
beholdmydemons: (act - look down)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2013-12-23 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is a pretty big team.] How long have you been here?

That's quite the while. [With most of the Pokemon now occupied...Drapion can go handle the Gyarados. Walter has a bit of a thing about fish and fish-like beings.] Are you hoping to stay here evermore?
