cian isn't too sure how his interest in crystablooms started either but he isn't complaining if it allows him to spend more time with the champion of hoenn. not that cian thinks of kyle that way, but still.[break][break]

kyle is just kyle. a dog lover and above average tiktokker.[break][break]

the door opens.[break][break]

"yo, dog boy! come on in."[break][break]

for someone in a relationship, his place sure looks like a bachelor pad. the living room, at least.[break][break]

"you thirsty? want anything to drink?"[break][break]

his cacturne stands in the corner, menacingly still.

"appy joos for two."[break][break]

while cian busies himself with opening the fridge and finding said appy joos, his cacturne fades into the scene after being idle over in the corner of the room.[break][break]

it approaches kyle.[break][break]

"nah. he really wants crystablooms on him for some reason."[break][break]

cian finishes up pouring into two glasses then offers kyle one.[break][break]

"maybe it makes them more powerful? i dunno."

"maybe infinity energy for them is like apple juice for us."[break][break]

cian sticks a rubber straw into his glass just so he can do the :ciansip: while drinking. well, not much drinking, really, as he sucks it all down in one. he leaves the glass next to kyle's on the counter.[break][break]

"uh, he knows what he's getting himself into. he's oddly excited."[break][break]

the cacturne nods menacingly.[break][break]

"we'll follow your lead. i wanna see if we can make more crystablooms grow on him."

as the apple juice kicks in, it's time to get the brain juices flowing.[break][break]

"we need a way to somehow infuse the crystablooms into lugh. simply sticking them into his pins and needles isn't enough."[break][break]

he mirrors kyle and folds his arms.[break][break]

"a move should be able to help with that. something supportive, non-destructive. i also think maybe a z-move might be helpful here for the burst of energy."

"what the...you got it already?"[break][break]

must be from the champ money. must be nice when cian still has to struggle his way to afford one. but that's his own fault, really, because he spends too much money on game cosmetics.[break][break]

cian points to his bedroom.[break][break]

"you can change there or in the bathroom through there. we'll wait here."

it's a good thing kyle isn't toxic because there are lot of things in that bedroom that would be damning for some. not cian, of course, as he's quite vanilla apart from his love for feet. but penny has her fair share of secrets as well. toys in the closet, let's say.[break][break]

cian takes a moment to look at kyle's sygna suit, eyes glancing up and down before he nods.[break][break]

"nice. pretty hot, champ."[break][break]

his cacturne vibrates in agreement, then steps forward.[break][break]

"lugh's ready to get blasted."

[attr="class","ooc"]kyle lopez[break]

[attr="class","pkspr pkmn-cacturne"]

"do your best, guys."[break][break]

just like in school, leave it to cian to pair up with the smartest kid and just let them do all the work while he watches and takes the credit when it happens.[break][break]

his cacturne readies itself.
