[attr="class","tavi i"]they don't make it that far, realistically.

apparently some creatures that call the woods their home don't exactly enjoy cleansing smoke. does she blame them? maybe a teeny bit... okay, not really cause that shit burns the eyes sometimes. anyway, the first pokemon they encounter causes the woman to tilt her head.

first to the left and then to the right, as if sizing it up will make it less angry with her. you've heard the stories of butterflies, right? how they'd ten out of ten drink blood given the opportunity? yeah, unsettling, would not recommend. octavia, realistically, finds that kind of metal as fuck but definitely won't fuck around and find out today.

"yep, bad vibe," she mumbles. her movements are quick and right in the opposite direction of the masquerain. pivot and see ya, am i right?

her phantump merely coos, maybe a soft sorry or gentle goodbye because atropos is a gentleman and a scholar, before floating off after his trainer.

solo.
passing!

[attr="class","tavi i"]that direction doesn't exactly seem right either. her intuition apparently sucks today. which, i mean, that's fine and all but just how many creatures is she gonna offend today? two, at least... maybe more.

"you got a lil something," she mumbles, a hand reaching out in an attempt to pluck at cotton spores. "right. there." oop, terrible idea. the edelgoss screeches, much like a banshee, and she recoils instantly. talk about a bad fucking vibe. damn.

if it wasn't all cotton and barely any body, it'd probably scratch her eyeballs out. instead, it stumbles, screeches once more just to be dramatic, and then scurries off. atropos, bless his heart, has no words for the stupidity that he just witnessed. instead, he merely blinks and tries to guide his trainer away from causing more harm.

really, how was she supposed to know that thing was touchy about its spores?

solo.
passing!

[attr="class","tavi i"]now that leafy thing? totally immaculate. i mean, look at that massive leaf! best hair accessory or hairstyle ever.

she, naturally, stares for what feels like forever. the bayleaf is really just happily munching on leaves, staring back, and she's processing about five different thoughts at once. what kind of leaf is that? is it an herb? why does it grow there? does it vary in sizes? can she have maybe a teeny bit of it? probably not but worth a shot. meanwhile, the bayleaf is all no thought, just munch.

"hey," smooth start. can't possibly go down hill. "my dude, i love your leaf." definitely down hill. she spoke too soon. or well, i did but it's fine. anyway! the bayleaf pauses in the endeavor of chewing its lunch. a thought besides eating rises, one that seems to work in tavi's favor. shocking, i know.

the bayleaf comes a little closer and without thinking, she reaches a hand out to touch the leaf. it's soft, leaf-like, everything she had expected. and of course, that blows her mind.

"okay, yep, definitely taking you home friendo!" case closed, apparently.

atropos, bless his heart, snags some leafy snacks for octavia's newly decided friend and tries to help lure the poor bayleaf home with them.

solo.
capture attempt!
