41st moon [action]

[This afternoon, the sky above Cherrygrove welcomes an uncommon visitor. One that has not been in the vicinity for months, and who certainly never had the time to fly over the city before.

Quite frankly, even the change of perspective is not enough to make Cecil appreciate the view.

But he's not here for leisure or for the scenery. He's looking for Suzuki, which would be why Kayne the Dragonite tends to dip whenever they see a dark-haired trainer.

Or, well, any trainer. Cecil does like to speak to bright-eyed newcomers, after all.]

[Everyone would probably happier if it was a recipe for crab meat instead, but sadly they'll have to deal with a rain of Krabbies. Annoyed Krabbies.

Not Cecil seems to notice or care.]

That's a 'both', then? There you go.

[Jerky and berries. What more can one ask for?]

_{((ooc: XD Quick ooc note because I'm dense and I need stuff spelled out for me sometimes-- is he actively throwing Krabbies RIGHT NOW, or just looking for them?))}

_{[NOT MUCH. The Bagon certainly isn't picky-- she'll take what she can get. She happily snatches the meat and berries from Cecil's hands, wolfing them down.]}

((He has about ten of them in his arms, and he's starting to gauge distances~ Be ready to duck!))

[Cecil is just glad it makes her happy.]

Does your trainer have any other Pokémon? Are they also hungry?

_{[In that case, Toothless is definitely observing the other dragon's behavior with deeply-narrowed eyes. His first reaction is to think that he's hunting... which makes him shake his head a little, because in his experience, you can't EAT anything here! ... Not that it's stopped him from trying...]

[... And then he notices the Dragonite starting to ... um... aim.]

[What.]

[The Bagon, on the other hand, nods immediately, and then turns to bound away across the sand briefly, before running back with a Pokeball clutched in her claws. Bopping the button with her nose, she releases a ... Magikarp.]

[Which proceeds to lie there in the sand.]

[It's not flopping. It's just staring up at Cecil with a horrified, glassy-eyed stare. Because the last time it saw a human, it wound up lodged halfway down that human's throat.]}

[Aim he does, but rather quickly, because those Krabbies are starting to get pretty angry and those pincers are really damn annoying, level difference or not. He carefully looks around, stretches his arm, pulls it back, keeps his eyes on his target, finally throws...!

While Cecil proves his usefulness by taking out his umbrella and continuing the conversation as if nothing was going on. What, he happens to like Magikarps.]

Hello, little one. Are you also hungry? I have treats appropriate for a Magikarp, if you wish.

[Well, appropriate for a Gyarados, but it'll have to do. At least he's shielding them both from the upcoming Krabby rain?]

_{[And Toothless's eyes widen as the angry crabs come sailing towards him. The HECK? BACKIN' UP OUT THIS THREAD. ... Or, you know, just very hastily shuffling to the side as the Krabbies come pattering down onto the sand. He doesn't really like those things, considering how pinchy they are... so he makes some snarly sounds at them as he shuffles up the dune, baring his teeth.]

[The Magikarp, on the other hand, still looks sort of terrified in that way that fish permanently do, but it tentatively begins to start flopping its tail.]}

[Kayne just keeps them coming, barely stopping to grab another pair of them. What, one of his sisters throws eggs as part of one of her attacks; he's always wanted to try it. And he likes it!

Cecil likes it a great deal less, but he still sportingly catches the poor little Krabby that almost hit his umbrella, even as he starts rummaging through his bag again.]

Please wait a moment, they should be right there...

_{[WHAT. WHAT IS THIS. WHAT IS GOING ON. IT'S RAINING CRABS.]

[Toothless just... continues to shuffle up and eventually over the dune because ... because CRABS. He keeps staring at Kayne in utter incredulity.]

[The Magikarp and Bagon, though, are completely enthralled with Cecil because he is now the food-giver. And it is amazing.]}

[That incredulity bolsters Kayne's boldness, and he starts advancing as he throws the crabs. He even shouts out a few dares and and insults as he goes.

...He might or might not have said that Toothless' father was an old Caterpie and his mother a used Ditto, by the way.]

Ah, there they are. Berry-flavored cookies and pork jerky. Is that to your liking?
