hi yes, i'm here to claim you as my bff who's gonna teach me how to love the ocean.

that's it that's all. i love you hehe.

skyler dross

hello boat friend, would you like to meet lighthouse man? he's a bit of a grump but he makes nice tea, will give you good weather predictions for your voyage to make sure you're not setting sail right into a storm and has an ampharos to help light your way should you want to visit him in the evening. or if you just want to avoid smashing up your pretty boat. he'd also be quite interested to hear about all the interesting artefacts you've found and weather conditions you may have experienced on your trips. maybe sometime he can come along for the day on your boat to experience some choppy seas.

also she'd be more than welcome to drop in and stay a while in the lighthouse if the weather is too bad for her to leave slateport. she seems like the kind of person that bryn would find interesting! also he wouldn't mind if she is a bit of a flight risk, in that she turns up out of the blue some days and then vanishes for long stretches of time, just so long as she's keeping safe and has something interesting to show/tell him when she turns up next. it's not like he's going anywhere.

(basically let's be pals cus a sailor and a lighthouse keeper would make for a good lil pair!)

bryn hollis


a sailor and a lighthouse keeper should definitely be good pals. it's in the rules somewhere.

skyler is always on the move (she's barely ever at home), so to have a place where she feels she can stop for a little while (and drink some tea!) would be great for her. the only constant in her life is the ocean. she's an adventurer at heart, and while she loves to talk about her adventures, she would also attempt to drag bryn into unknown territory, be it coral reefs or a nearby bar/nightclub. 

she's deeply supertitious, which bryn might find kind of silly. in that, they're polar opposites. skyler is really bad at any sort of intellectual pursuit. she might know the local waters like the back of her hand, but please don't ask her to solve equations for you. she can be a bit oblivious when it comes to reading other people. she's like a blunt instrument in social situations, which bryn might appreciate. while bryn might be rough around the edges and serious, skyler is usually good-natured and sunny. usually.

if she decides that bryn is a friend, she'll become protective of him - which means checking up on him and kicking anyone who means him harm (she's got to use dem muscles). i can imagine skyler staying over at the lighthouse as a storm blows over slateport, and the two of them watching it through a window while sipping some tea (she's fascinated by ocean storms).

feel free to dm me in discord to plot some more ♥

Alexei Ivanov look if skyler has an achilles' heel it is directly related to ghosts
she can fight a dozen megalopolans without batting an eye but don't put her anywhere near mt. pyre or else

i think these two are PERFECT for a spooky haunted house mission >D LET'S DO THIS

Selena Desmarais  &  skyler dross

Skyler's a (proud) Hoenn native who knows how to have a good time, so she'll have no problems with dragging Selena around to show her the 'true' Hoenn (in all likelihood that'll mean either local bars or sailing around on her speedboat). Sophisticated is a word I would never associate with Skyler, so it'll be fun to see how that contrast will play itself out in their interactions LOL

And I really want a post-war thread. They need to share their experiences (and a few drinks too!). The war has changed Skyler and it'll be interesting to learn another's perspective on it.

skyler dross + mclaren mcflurry

eyyyy

just postin to say that i really liked how skyler and mcflurry interacted in order posts, and i'd love to see a thread where skyler encounters the newer, darker mcflurry!! idk if she'd be in a position to intervene or not but i still think it'd be a cool social to have

i LOVE skyler dross , and mila would love her too. casual flirting and mindless fling? either way, i think mila and skyler would be loads of fun together! mila would definitely be super-interested in whatever skyler had to say re: treasure hunting. also mila is like insanely competitive too, but usually her competitive nature lies in her skill set - which is more creative endeavor-type things - but she has been known to learn a skillset just to prove a point haha. 

if you're up for it, a fun casual thread with them could be them matching on some sort of dating app - or maybe just meeting randomly - and skyler could teach mila how to parasail or something!

also open to any other idea you might have 

(i also have kris flynn-edwards who i just made and decided is a lilycove police person/security personnel/occasional grocery store clerk and since she's anchored to lilycove, that could be potentially fun as well)
