[attr="class","danny"]this time, danny does no more than watch as two wild pokemon appear. they don't seem to be causing any problems nor are they looking for a fight, so he reaches into his backpack instead and pulls out a juice box.

he steps over to oliver.

"want one? i got apple and orange."

[attr="class","noodles"]Oliver Shrakes // skipping!

danny's magmemite is wild from pkmn-hoenn.boards.net/post/225596

cian's magmenite and zubat are from gacha pull pkmn-hoenn.boards.net/post/228670

[attr="class","danny"]"i dunno why all these deals happen so late into the night. like, why couldn't it be at midnight instead of at three?"

horrible.

it's too late, too cold, and he's too sleepy to be his usual optimistic self about this. but then again, it's quite rare for danny to show aspects of how he used to be. now, he's more serious, and even a little bit pessimistic at times.

it sucks, honestly.

at izzy's question, danny chuckles, not realizing that he's been shaking a little.

"yeah, a bit. not sure how to fix that without drawing attention, though."

he smiles.

"i'll be fine."

[attr="class","danny"]"there's a difference?"

why would anyone call themselves rocket without being in the org? he can't think of a reason.

"twelve is pretty young..."

he watches bryan take a swig of his whiskey, suddenly finding himself craving a sip as well.

"huh. i guess we're the same rank, then."

[attr="class","danny"]"does it ever stop being rough?"

it's an honest question because he's seen just how brutal they can be even to those who've been in the organization for a while. it isn't all bad, however, as he's already made a few friends within it. cleaning shit with priam conrad comes to mind.

"thanks, sera. if you need any help from me, too..."

it doesn't need to be said but he wants to: she can always reach out to him. he only hopes she knows that.

"i'll always be here."

Serena Malcolm

[attr="class","danny"]there's a video?

fuck.

staggered and dazed, danny does his best to recover, breathing sharply as he brings a hand to nurse his gut. he continues to stumble back, though this time does enough to create some distance.

he stands, preparing himself.

[attr="class","noodles"]KING WAYLAND // [x]

[attr="class","danny"]how is he?

"good, honestly. it sounds cheesy but i'm better now that you're here with me."

back in his life.

still, he sighs, knowing that it's not all good and that he should really share instead of keeping it to himself.

"training's been really tough, though, as well as some of the missions they send me on."

Serena Malcolm

[attr="class","danny"]"okay? yep! i'm really okay."

play it cool, danny.

"yep! that's definitely my pikachu! isn't he a cutie?"

it's not a he, but he's hoping she doesn't notice.

"are you out here for a walk?"
