Vital Spirit Post #15

[attr="class","hearmenand2"]Adrian sat there slumped, head held in his hands awaiting a response. The first response that arrives from out of the night is from Sénon Game, who cannot offer him much assurance or insight. Offering to send their Rockruff, Adrian hesitates at first, a bit taken aback. I could just as easily... send... No, he couldn't. The only pokemon of his that would ever recognize the scent had, of course, been Howitzer. On top of everything else, it's enough to drive a person to exasperation, where Adrian finds himself now.

After mulling it over with himself, Adrian of course accepts their offer and commends their generosity with a silent prayer, or well wishing. Tucking away his phone and resuming his anxiety-ridden vigil, Adrian must wait some time for the Rockruff to arrive at his location, but once it arrives they're quick to get to work. Or so he would've liked to believe.

Senon's Rockruff sniffs around at the pavement excitedly, sifting through the plethora of scents, some of them foodstuffs. Overridden with anxiety, it's just not fast enough, Adrian's temper rising with every passing moment. First it's the drumming of his fingers, and a tapping of his foot, then the grating of his teeth...

This thing better be able to find her...
(Serena Malcolm)

Arf! Ruff! Rockruff casts a glance back to Adrian and then scampers away in evident pursuit. Adrian follows at a brisk pace, Rover and Sigilyph tailing after them, until they arrive to a pile of wreckage. (Adrian: It got this bad?)

Part of him wonders what they'll find: Festival food knocked over in the wreckage? Serena? Other innocents who were trapped in the mayhem? He's quick to follow the nimble Rockruff around, until it yelps loudly at a ruinous stack of wreckage. It manages to slip under and through the stack, while Adrian waits outside expectantly, only for nothing to happen.

Adrian snatches his phone, stabbing the inputs with deft fingers to withdraw a team of pokemon to assist with the rubble: Rover remains at his side while Sigilyph is returned, to be replaced by a Machoke, Heracross and Rhyperior. "Move the rubble—carefully! Someone might be in there..."

Heracross uses its horn like a shovel while the others use their gargantuan might to delicately disassemble the ramshackle ruins, careful not to remove any pieces ahead of their order that might cause it all to collapse. All the while the sound of Rockruff's yipping begins to bleed through louder and louder, along with the sound of...?

This is black sheep,

She was with another person. He made note of them; memorized their basic features as they disappeared into the crowd, leading the Galarian fugitive away like a honeytrap.

Interesting... Not his job (yet), but very interesting indeed.

He brought his gaze towards Michiko sharply when she suddenly spoke up, confusion appearing over the man's face before he got a good look at the woman's own.

"Of course I do, Michiko. Riolu and Lucario are wonderful, valiant companions." He said. He was not sure of where she was going just yet, though he had some guesses.

And they turned out to be right.

Gwyar's gaze softened at Michiko's plight, gently grasping the offered pokeball.

"I understand." He said as he plucked it out of her hands, turning his gaze down towards it, before moving it back to her. "Thank you for your trust, Michiko. I'll look after the little one to the best of my ability- and you'll always be welcome to see him, of course."

Even if she wasn't fit to be his trainer now, things could change. If not her, then Lucky.

A Lucario was a far calmer, far more patient creature, after all.

Adrian Malcolm + Sénon Game , Serena's Outfit

[attr="class","hearmenand22"]The sound of panting and distant barks drew Serena's attention from her little secret perch. Curtesy to the carefully fallen wreckage. Serena wasn't trapped underneath anything by any means, nor was she pinned. But she was in a snug fit between pieces of debris. If she moved too much she might threaten to topple some things over. Luckily for her, she wasn't moving anytime soon. Her right boot was beginning to feel tight which let her know that her ankle was swelling.

Sighing, Serena's attention was snatched away as Sénon Game's Rockruff emerged from a small crack in the wreckage. Seemingly happy with itself that it found her. "Oh, hey!." Serena exclaimed as she held out her arms. "Were you looking for me?" she asked as the Rockruff leapt into her arms and began licking her face excitedly. Chuckling she tried to calm the young pup down. "Okay, okay. I get it. You found me. Okay! Calm down." she said thought bits of laughter. Meanwhile, Gwen sat beside her looking a little be jealous of the attention the other Pokémon was getting.

"Move the rubble—carefully! Someone might be in there..." she heard her brother command not too far from her. "Adrian?" She said as she perked up a bit. Slowly pieces of the debris around her were removed carefully. Soon her secret hiding space wasn't so secret anymore. With a weak grin she smiled at her brother. "Ah thank god you're here." she said with a sigh of relief. "Look what those Tauros did!" She said as she held up her cracked and clearly no longer functional smartphone. "This one was my favorite too." she said, completely forgetting to tell her brother about the important thing, her injury.

---

Serena got chased by a tauros and sprained her ankle. Luckily Adrian and Senon's Rockruff are here to save the day. | 9th post | xtra tag:

Home.

Lulu was not the type to ask to join her there. Not sober.

“Right, then.” Uhh. “Have a good night, Princess.”

With that, she turned around and headed back into the crowd, leaving from Sabine Calcifet ’s sight. She sighed to slacken the tempo of her heart. Ok. What, now?

In gradually dampening chaos which she was no longer interested in recording, she wandered down the path by herself. Perhaps she'd be going home soon, too.

And like that, things were over. Stampede was quelled, a nice, healing dew was falling from the skies and helping with the wounded, and Tapu Bulu had been calmed down by one Zac Ramsay after locking horns with the man's improvised weapon.

All in a day's work.

"... Waste o' m' bloody time." The youth harrumphed, reaching up to readjust his hat before realizing he did not have it.

Right.

Visiting hours at the hospital were past by now. He would need to wait until lights were off and half the staff was either asleep or gone...

But then, he didn't want to wake her up either.

The young man sighed as he jumped off the stall's roof with his Orbeetle's assistance, his slow descent to Earth giving him time to consider what to do now.

The festival was ruined; he would be surprised if the event planners managed to salvage this and continue towards whatever grand finale they had planned.

But that was none of his business.

Congratulations were in order.

"Zac! Oi, Zac!" Called the youth as he touched ground, jogging up to the man of the hour and unknowingly to most, the center of attention of quite a few people, some if not most, rather unsavory. "That was awesome!"

Her lips part with the weight of unsaid words, held captive in her throat by the brush of calloused digits over her skin, so light as to be almost taunting. A breathless exhale escapes the captain's mouth instead, darkened silver shifting to follow the path of soot inching up her ankle. Holding tight in a grasp that feels more like a promise than anything else.

The taste of tequila on her lips isn’t nearly as intoxicating as the look in Angelo’s eyes when his lips skim over her leg. If the world were to burn around her at the moment, the captain isn't quite sure she'd notice, or that she'd care. When her hand slides down to brush calloused digits over the edge of a cheekbone there's little conscious thought to the action, led only by the lure of ocean eyes.

"Who says I'm waiting, mio Angelo?" Her voice sounds hushed where once it'd been loud and boisterous, unconsciously leaning into the invitation held before her with the same kind of reckless abandon that has marked her sun-kissed skin time and time again. "Maybe I'm-"

Vertigo hits her at once when Angelo pulls on her ankle to bring her down, limbs flailing for but a moment before a foul curse is spat into the air. Momentum brings her against the courier, legs locking around the young man as he stumbles back. Silver eyes widen briefly before a hand shoots out above the courier's head to bring them to a stop - having nearly collided against one of the nearby wooden pillars.

"You absolute fucking... moron!" And then Skyler's throwing her head back in a bout of loud and unrestrained laughter, stained with a drunken sort of abandon, uncaring for who might see their compromising position. Her fingers sink into the flesh of his shoulder, golden curls brushing over his face in gentle tickles as she leans down to finally (finally!) brush her lips over his. Tasting the rum on his tongue. Taking what is rightfully hers.

The game is over, after all.

Nearby festival lights (or fires, depending on what kind of ambiance you're going for) glint off of the glass of the tequila bottle when Skyler waves it in challenge, the gleam of something wicked peering out from molten silver. "Think we should finish this somewhere else?"

The absence of the woman at her side was greater than anticipated. Lulu's departure makes Sabine pause if only for a moment, lips parting to reflect her surprise. The crowd surges, however, swallowing the mysterious woman. [break][break]

And Sabine is left alone to muse about her decisions leading up to her isolation. Hoenn was proving time and time again to be a strange place. With a huff, the woman pulls her shawl tighter around her as people pass her by. [break][break]

Indecision leads her to not abandon the festival just yet.[break][break]

Even if his feet stumble backwards, unbalanced from the momentum of the captain colliding into his alcohol-warmed chest, Angelo’s hands grip tightly around her. Holding her close to himself through a shared chorus of drunken, uninhibited laughter. Refusing to let go, even if it meant falling. [break][break]

Long, sun-kissed legs wrap shamelessly around his waist and automatically, equally as uncaring about potential spectators, Angelo’s hands grip underneath her ass to sharply hoist her higher; locking them into a secure, yet compromising position. [break][break]

Leaning against the wooden pillar he’d almost crashed them into, his breath fans against Skyler’s collarbone in smug amusement as she berates him for his recklessness. “Like you didn’t fucking love it.” Angelo retaliates, indulging himself, by digging his fingers in and squeezing… [break][break]

“I bet you would’ve jumped, if I hadn’t… Both know ‘m not the only idiot here,” comes his voice, muffling a challenge against her skin that’s the slightest slurred around the edges; lips curling with languid intoxication as they shape words against her throat. [break][break]

For a moment the courier lingers against Skyler’s neck, her perfume washing over him like a warm, ocean breeze… Scent of tequila and sweat from the evening’s activities mingling with traces of sea salt, forever entangled in the young woman even when away from the shore, bringing forth a quiet sigh to caress the non-existent space between them. Mind contently drifting… [break][break]

It’s only when golden curls tickle against his cheek that Angelo’s pulled out of his reverie, tilting his chin up to look up at the sailor in his arms, drawn in as moonlight eyes gaze down. Seeking him. He gives his kiss to her willingly. And in return claims the taste of her, pleasantly tainted with tequila, as their lips finally come together – his, some weak, desirous part of him dares to whisper. [break][break]

He’s almost tempted to lean in for another kiss after they part, warmth of the festival irrelevant now that a taste had been teased, until Skyler presents to him an opportunity. Her mouth is curled with a tempting wickedness he’d long been unable to ignore. It spelled trouble, calling out to the part of himself that craved adventure and breathlessness and Angelo wasn't sure what was more dangerous: the idea of drunkenly mixing spirits or the coaxing light in her eyes, fixated on him.[break][break]

But he wants both… [break][break]

“I think… that’s the best idea I’ve heard all night.” Not like there was much to compete with. He bends, putting Skyler back down on the ground with a brief, clumsy parting kiss. Even as they untangle themselves, a hand doesn’t stray from her, instead drifting to linger over the curve of her hip. Keeping her close. “C’mon. Let’s get the hell out of here before Lars comes to find you... Not sharing.” Whether he means the bottle of tequila or Skyler, he doesn’t elaborate. [break][break]

Giving the captain an encouraging tug that she surely doesn’t need to be motivated to move, Angelo leads them towards the festival treeline where they could drink together somewhere quiet. Somewhere a little more private…

They nearly miss the fireworks.

In fact, the firework display is almost halfway done when two shapes stumble out of the nearby woods, unstable steps taking them away from the heavily wooded area and over to a grassy hill that overlooks the festival lights down below - and the fireworks above.

Skyler sinks her feet into the earth, having somehow lost her shoes along the way, or perhaps having simply forgotten them somewhere. She doesn’t seem too bothered about it either way, her festival attire having long since given up on its original shape, less of a yukata and more a rumpled, knotted mess of vaguely ocean-themed patterns.

It clearly hadn’t been made to survive an encounter with Captain Skyler Dross.

Somehow it suits her better than the orderly traditional attire, true to the chaos that usually follows in her wake.

A familiar bottle is grasped in her hand as she turns to the young man behind her, beckoning him to follow with a feral, drunken twitch of her lips. Her golden curls catch the moonlight as the shadowed canopy is left behind, its silvery glow highlighting a few leaves and twigs held captive in her messy mane of hair. Likely from their previous encounter...

The veil of night masks their drunken movements, though they do not stray far before the captain’s plopping down onto the grass, ignoring the way it tickles her exposed skin as she reaches a hand out to the sky, stars aligning with the edge of her fingertips. "I miss the sea," the whisper floats up like a confession, carried away in a nightly breeze. The captain had seen the ocean only that morning, but already she craves the salty tang in the air, the shifting of tides under her feet...

A hand abruptly reaches out to grab angelo vestri ’s arm, and the only warning before she pulls him down to the grass with her is a glint of trouble in moonlit silvers and the shadow of a shit-eating grin stretching her mouth. "Good thing I brought some of it with me."

Even as they slink out from under the protective shade of the woods and back into luminous glow of the festival – fireworks and moonlight shimmering overhead, painting the skies in vivid flashes of colour – Angelo fumbles like his world is still a little dark. [break][break]

Footsteps uneven as he walks alongside Skyler up the hill, he tries to wrangle his jacket back on; hand somehow evading his sleeve, depth perception skewed just enough to make this simple task feel a little more complex than it should. It doesn’t wipe the languid smile from the courier’s lips, however and after the third attempt, he decides that it’s actually warm enough to go without. [break][break]

“And I’m sure the sea misses its captain...” Does it make sense? Probably not. But he tells her that anyway with a playful smile, tossing his jacket somewhere nearby as she sits. Angelo’s not sure where it landed, too busy taking in – appreciating – bared skin bathed in moonlight and a flash of teeth, spotted too late to counter. [break][break]

“What? …What’s that supposed to mean?” He laughs cluelessly, pulled into the grass and submitting to the embrace of the earth, flopping down beside Skyler with the hill claimed as his pillow. It’s soft, he thinks, not caring that more foliage may become tangled in ruffled, sooty brunette hair... [break][break]

Gaze pointed upwards, he absentmindedly watches as the stars fade under the popping and bursting of fireworks, explosives creating temporary constellations in the sky. Reflecting in the ocean blue eyes that he hadn’t realised had been referenced. [break][break]

Angelo maps imaginary stars on Skyler’s skin, too; fingertips lingering over the skin of her arm in a barely there hold, absentmindedly brushing a calloused thumb in nonsensical patterns.

cait alfric and Zac Ramsay like this

Cait's pondering on who would be next to receive a god's blessing struck some nerve he didn't know he had.

He'd never felt jealousy over Cait being a 'Chosen One' of time. To him, her demigod status seemed as natural as sprouts bursting from seeds and moths drawing in towards flames. Maybe it was because her ideology and heritage centered around cultivation and Celebi or maybe it was because she had gained that power long before he ever knew her.

But Zac, to watch him be chosen before the world awoke some spark in him. In a mental flash the divine creature that plagued his thoughts for months now came back to the forefront. Then just as quickly the thought was gone; off to some other dimension.

Carrying Cait away from the dispersing crowd he saw Lulu and Sabine walking away from each other and when it seemed like they wouldn't be uniting again, he approached the latter. Having not seen the beauty since her himself and Cait got to know each other better at the cabin.

"You don't look too astounded Princess." She'd seen the whole thing with Zac and... Tapu Bolo up close hadn't she? "You do look like you could use some time off your feet." Whatever had her upset, he was willing to fix it, or make it worse if that was what she wanted.

"I'm cooking one of Cait's favorites tonight. You should join us... we'd love to have you back." He grinned mostly at himself; he'd almost said 'again' instead of 'back'.

He looked down at his green-haired counterpart to see if she was in the mood. "Right Cai?"

her pokemon trailed behind the pair as they began to return to their homestead. she mulled over how quickly their trip back to fortree would be, excited to slip out of this kimono and replace it with something comparatively western.

'pajamas, for example.'

cait didn't fuss as he continued to carry her, merely taking in the scene which slowly passed them by. the destruction would require some form of clean up and she pitied whoever was charged with such an unfortunate task. it was a small relief to see that injuries had been kept to an absolute minimum, the ground free of bodies.

"hm?"

the young woman was startled by the mention of sabine, her expression lighting up a little as she noticed the woman.

'she's alone,' cait thought, pleased.

"oh! yes. we'd love to have to come along," she said. "there's plenty of food to go around."

There's a certain languid quality to the way Skyler chooses to sprawl over the grass, uncaring of the night dew that whispers over scarred skin. Her eyes shift from the stars above, eaten up by the flash of fireworks, to catch their reflection in ocean blue eyes. "'m pretty sure it does miss me." There isn't a hint of doubt to the nonsensical statement. "I'm pretty amazing."

Playfulness turns into something sharper at the brush of fingers over her arm. A lazy sort of awareness has her eyes chasing the movements intently, savouring the warmth that blossoms in their wake. Craving more of it.

It isn't long before greed takes over and Captain Dross shuffles to gracelessly press herself to his side, taking his warmth for her own.

Her voice is stained with the vestiges of alcohol when she speaks, a slight slurr giving away the captain's state. "It's like you don't own a mirror, Angel." A finger reaches out to gently poke at the skin around his eye, a silvery gaze peering up at him, piercing in its intensity. "Idiot." It's strange, she suddenly thinks, that despite the many times she'd thought of his eyes like the ocean, she'd never really considered that she might drown in them, pulled by the vicious riptides that hide beneath a deceptively calm surface.

If there's an annoying tug in her chest at the thought, the captain blames it solely on the alcohol. Or perhaps heartburn.

Her limbs are slowly relaxing into Angelo's, soaking up the familiarity of his presence like a feline in the sunshine. Splashes of colors highlight the sharpness of his features, and the captain finds herself trailing a path with her finger over his jawline.

"I still think I could've beaten you at that game." The words are whispered over his collarbone, hiding the smirk that pulls at her lips.

Melody watched the scene in awe as Zac Ramsay became an avatar. Woah. She had never witnessed something like this in person before, this was utterly amazing...and great writing material too! Melody watched in awe and applauded him with a clap of his hands, she had met him recently at the event in which they worked together to make a tower but she felt a bit awkward approaching him at the moment since it seemed like he was already surrounded by friends. Melody nodded to Kyle Lopez and gave a small wave as it seemed like the situation was all handled. She walked away trying to at least enjoy the rest of the festival...or at least what remained of it becoming a little sad about what transpired since some people's night were probably ruined.
