BUT IT'S NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR

JCINK OR PROBOARDS? We're currently deliberating upon this potential move to the Jcink platform. Jcink has several tools that allow for automation of staffwork. Of course, it also has the added benefit of more mature content being allowed. Still! Nothing is confirmed. If you have any thoughts or opinions, please let me know!

the young woman wasn't generally one for such obvious excitement, but she'd had a great deal of trouble containing herself until they'd arrived at their destination. not one for talking, she'd simply squirmed in place and wrung her clothing in her hands until the towering mt pyre could be seen in the distance through the fog. one would be hard pressed to find anyone happier to arrive at what was essentially a massive cemetery.

"do we want to scale the outside? our luck will probably be better that way. more birds." she had no doubt that ghost types would show up outdoors, but finding flying types for her companion would be considerably more difficult if they were to take the indoor shortcuts. the compromise suited them; for better or for worse, they'd never been the types to take the easy road.

there's plenty of excitement to go around when they reach the base of the mountain. just the sight of it sends shivers down madeline's spine. there would be so much to do! her eyes are drawn to the trail that winds up mt. pyre before naomi even asks her which way she'd like to go. a hike, maybe a bit of climbing mixed in . . . that sounds like fun.

"yeah, definitely outside."

her voice is breathy when she responds, her eyes bright when she looks down at her companion -- a smile splitting her face almost in two. the birds! she'd almost forgotten about the birds! this really is a promising little expedition!

instead of fidgeting like naomi she instantly takes her energy outward. the strides she takes towards the start of the trail are long and fast. perhaps a bit faster than they should be. as she marches forward one of her hands fiddles around at her belt before pulling a pokeball free.

"come on cirrus."

the mumbled words precede a short flash of light. if her talonflame stood still at all after his release madeline didn't see it. to her it was as if the pokemon had teleported into the sky, for he was circling over their heads before she knew it.

even hearing the affirmation is enough for her to brandish a smile of her own. it's not the prospect of a climb that excites her ー not yet ー but madeline is already smiling. if she gets to see that smile every time they encounter an interesting flying type, the entire trip will have been worth it even if she doesn't see a single ghost.

her usual flowing skirts and blouses have been temporarily traded in for leggings, shorts and shoes more appropriate for the environment, but she has a hard time keeping up even so. a short sprint and they're side by side again as she watches talonflame circle in the sky.

quiet joy radiates from her as she retrieves her own most reliable pokeball and presses its button, releasing her umbreon, zenith, onto the ground beside her. there's no need for her to release her pokemon yet, but on a subconscious level, it feels like a necessity. despite her act at independence, a great deal of the young woman's life is spent simply mirroring the things that she loves, as though the things that make her love them might rub off on her for her efforts.

her old friend is just happy to be out of her ball. a few blinks as her eyes adjust to the light of her environment and the small creature lets out an excited cry, jumping into her trainer's arms.

"where should we begin?" she stares up at the girl's profile, looking to her for direction. naomi is absolutely not frail ー as is necessary of a dancer, her appearance does not betray her strength ー but such ambitious physical feats are certainly more maddie's area than her own.
