Jasmine's Plotter

[attr="class","maddplot"]MADD MCKENNA[break]26 - TACKLE SHOP MANAGER - ROCKET - ASEXUAL - UNATTACHED[break]

I feel like Madd may go to the host club because she likes the food. Maybe they've talked on occasion and struck up a companionship of sorts> She'd love to scare off anyone messing with Jasmine.

JASMINE X OZ - I feel like Ozni may go to the club on occasion. He finds it absolutely fascinating and quite wholesome. Maybe they decide to schmooze with this rich dummy in hopes of getting extra cash?

[break][attr="class","lydsplot"]LYDIA MAGNUSSON[break]26 - UNEMPLOYED - LEAGUE - SINGLE - HETEROSEXUAL[break]
LYDIA X JASMINE - Maybe Lydia applies to work as a host and Jasmine gives her an introduction to the job? I think it'll prove hilarious. Lydia is not suited to any kind of customer-facing role.

[break][attr="class","nikkiplot"]NIKITA SOKOLOV[break]45 - SECRET AGENT - LEAGUE - WIDOWED - BICURIOUS[break]
JASMINE X NIKITA - Maybe one of the hosts went missing and Jasmine is the only witness? Nikita would be happy to assist with the investigation. He would be quite awkward about the setting, however. His only real serious relationship was with one person and affection makes him awkward.

SCOTTI X JESSICA - i think he'd find a cafe fun, and he might use it to try and get more comfortable with flirting and stuff. His siblings love teasing him for being very awkward with pretty girls and boys. Does she like cupcakes? Boy can bake!

The redhead shook her head. Some part of her wished she’d reported the nurse that’d mistreated her. That sort of passivity didn’t help anyone. Even if it was so very tempting. “No, they shouldn’t. But the world doesn’t care about fairness as much as we do.” And people, unfortunately, cared even less. She sighed. Uncertain fingers drew her sweater tighter, as if fabric could ward off malice.

Sure, she walked away from the assault afraid of dogs but it’d been a person who ordered it. Fortunately, the talk of Audino pulled her out of her mind’s mire. “I believe that reflects well on you, Thomas.” Ironically, for all her paranoia, her judgment of character rested somewhere between abysmal and laissez-faire. The naive girl in her wanted to believe that everyone was good at their core. Which is why she pretended not to notice all the signs of things going wrong.

The redhead chuckled. “If she can turn his frown upside down, she would be a miracle worker.” Then again, some Pokemon preferred to be unhappy. The same thing could be said about people. “I would pay to see her try.” Then again, it was hard being a patient. Feeling like some useless burden. Even she’d cracked under the pressure. To this day, she was not certain her mother had forgotten the things she said.

“He really is not a bad man.” Her eyes sobered. “Just a bit stiff.” She forced a smile. Let’s not get your doom and gloom all over the place, huh? Poor guy’s likely bored stiff. Aubre’s lips formed into an ‘o’ of realization. “I would watch your ps and qs, he’s a bit of a stickler for manners. And grammar.” Her cheeks flared red. Her hands flapped like those of a concussed bird. “Not that I think you have anything to worry about.”

Aubre watched the pair with a soft, maternal smile. The white-haired girl dropped into the dirt. A smile—a rarity on the toddler’s dour face—emerged. A missing front tooth took center stage. “I think he might be the real miracle worker.”

Ricardo moved over to give the fox a pat as well.

POSTED ON Jun 5, 2023 20:56:25 GMT

[break][attr="class","aubsplot"]AUBRE MCKENNA-SETTENTRIONE[break]25 - POKEMON DOCTOR - LEAGUE - MARRIED - DEMISEXUAL[break]

AUBRE X WILLOW - I think these two would make for fantastic gal pals. Aubre's father is a famous grass-type trainer, and she is fascinated by plants. Unfortunately, she struggles to keep them alive. I can see her dropping by occasionally to pick up flowers for her Oricorio's form changes. The doctor also runs a boutique clinic and often provides care for Pokemon of all types, though she specializes in burning. With her relationship with her husband currently strained, Aubre would likely be looking to Willow more for companionship. She's a fantastic listener over all, though somewhat naive in many ways.

[break]
[attr="class","maddplot"]MADD MCKENNA[break]26 - TACKLE SHOP MANAGER - ROCKET - ASEXUAL - UNATTACHED[break]

MADD X PARKER - These two would likely get along really well. I can see Madd and Yakky wanting to do cage-fighting stuff too. They both live in shitty places and are tight on cash. Maybe they meet at a bar or the gym? Maybe they knew each other from Madd's more active days in Rocket?

[break][attr="class","ozplot"]OZ ADEBAYO[break]34 - CEO - LEAGUE - SINGLE - HETEROSEXUAL[break]
FREYA X OZ - I feel like she'd hate him. But he loves meeting the region's who's who. He did get kidnapped by Mint, so maybe she was sent to help with the investigation? I just want to throw him at someone grumpy.

[break][attr="class","harperplot"]HARPER MANN[break]14 - PICKPOCKET- ROCKET - BISEXUAL - CHILD[break]
FREYA X HARPER - She can steal something from here if you want. Maybe someone in Rocket hires her to do so? Or, we use one of the Rocket missions to springboard this? I'm just looking to get her more into her day job.
SASKIA X HARPER - Similar prompt to Freya. Harper takes something off of her and we start a fun game of cat and mouse with the two of them. There's also some moral quandaries with the fact that the thief is just a child.

[break][attr="class","lydsplot"]LYDIA MAGNUSSON[break]26 - UNEMPLOYED - LEAGUE - SINGLE - HETEROSEXUAL[break]
LYDIA X FREYA - I feel like these two will get along. Lydia is sniffing around joining the rangers while trying to find full-time employment. With her military background, she finds it difficult to find something that fits. I'd also love to have Parker try to flirt with her, but that's more just for giggles.
Profile - PC - Application

[break][attr="class","nikkiplot"]NIKITA SOKOLOV[break]45 - SECRET AGENT - LEAGUE - WIDOWED - BICURIOUS[break]
FREYA X NIKITA - The man is heavily involved in anti-Rocket work as well as special investigations. I'm guessing he worked with Freya a bit in her council person days. Maybe they run into one another outside of work?
NIKITA X SASKIA - This ranger would drive him nuts. I want them to meet for that reason alone.
NIKKARI X NIKITA - Maybe he runs into Nikkari during an investigation? Just gives us some good old fashion league-on-rocket conflict. Can be used for B&B endeavors.

SCOTTI X SASKIA - He doesn't need to be more reckless, but man could he use a friend who is. Please be a bad influence on my little baked goods doofus.
KNOX X BISCOTTI - I feel like he'd really like Knox. He'd think he was super cool and admire him. Maybe he orders a cake for a boyfriend's special occasion and they strike up a conversation?
PARKER X BISCOTTI - She'd absolutely terrify him, but she's dope as hell. Maybe she can give him some tips on getting a gal (or guy)? Get a cupcake?

KELPIE X ANYA - Kelpie and Anya need to meet. They work together and share a number of personality traits. Maybe there was a mentor relationship? They can talk shit about other people with each other. Maybe they get saddled with each other on a project?
NIKKARI X KELPIE - Kelpie thinks he's hot as hell. She would love to flirt and pay him to help her smuggle in the occasional guinea pig. She will make things very awkward. But right now she's husband-free and down to interact with other men.

A New Chapter of Friendship [M][O]

POSTED ON Jun 5, 2023 2:29:50 GMT

[attr="class","samjertop"][attr="class","samjer"]

[attr="class","samjermain"]

Arthur’s evolution nearly gave Aubre a heart attack. One moment, she and the Farigiraf were strolling through Petalburg woods. The normally calm creature and she quite enjoyed these little diversions. Most of the time was spent skimming silly little novellas. The book cradled awkwardly between the two of them, his head dipping to indicate a turn of the page.

An Illumise—frightened by the pair’s laughter—burst from the undergrowth. A similarly panicked Arthur unleashed a Signal Beam in its general direction. He missed by a mile, but something in his chest made him stop. He let loose a mewl of distress, rearing slightly upon his prosthetic leg. “Artie?” Aubre’s face filled with concern as she reached to calm the checkered beast’s heaving breaths. Then, a bright light burst from him.

KRASH! Metal shrapnel flew as his lightweight prosthetic shattered. Luckily, the only thing damaged by it were dry leaves and an errant hoody sleeve. The Girafarig fell to his knees with another cry. But, moments later, he rose unaided. In the place of his stump was a perfectly formed leg. It was on the scrawnier side—likely due to a lack of use (as it hadn’t existed). Like a newborn calf, he tried to stagger forward, unsure how his body worked.

A few weeks later, he was self-assured in his walk, even if his size meant he could not sleep in the repurposed dog bed anymore. After a few attempts at sharing a book—typically impeded by his newly lengthened neck, he knelt down so his trainer could climb up on his back.

That is where today found them. Aubre trying to get used to the unfamiliar feeling of the Girafarig’s gait, a book extended out in front of him so he might read it. On occasion, his rocking gait stalled, his neck bending double to avoid branches. During one of these pauses, Aubre noticed something off down the path. Something called out.

Aubre's pulse quickened. It could be dangerous. But that meant she had to take a look. “Arthur, can you go that way, please?” With a nod, the pacifistic creature turned. Something about evolving had made him bolder.

Hopefully, that would not come back to bite her in the tush.

Upon reaching the site, a ginger brow rose. "We heard some noises." How wonderfully specific she was. Breathing was a noise too, wasn't it? Maybe she was just being nosy. “Are you all right?”

Clinic Summer Bash [M]

POSTED ON Jun 5, 2023 0:32:14 GMT

[attr="class","samjertop"][attr="class","samjer"]

[attr="class","samjermain"]

The attack on Dewford Town left many Pokemon without homes. The biggest single group of these was a nest with seven Taillows. A good samaritan picked them up from under their fallen mother. His Dachsbun kept them warm until the rescue team arrived. Something about these birds—maybe just desperation for a ray of sunshine in the milieu—had caught the public’s attention

Today, after many sleepless nights on the part of their caretakers, the fledglings were to be set free. The same thing was true for a lot of Pokemon acquired on the battlefield in Dewford. This, coupled with the nice weather, put the clinic in the mood for a little party. There was a small barbecue set up in the clinic’s front yard. Its metal grills are covered in kebabs—vegan, gluten-free, and lab-grown.

Community members were crowding around the place, eager to get a look at the birds and sample the kebabs. Aubre, never a fan of crowds, sat at the back of the gathering. Her booth offered free vaccines and quick pieces of advice. Though, as was her habit, there was a lot of free treatment being handed out as well. Which her husband would likely complain about later.

With her line dwindling down for the moment, Aubre rose to check on one of their part-time hires. On the way, she stopped to scoop up two cool glasses of lemonade. These she balanced carefully in both hands, shirking her way through with apologies and careful shirking. After some time, she came upon the stars of the show—the excitable Taillow flitting from side to side in their enclosure.

“Hello, Julia.” The doctor offered a tight-lipped smile. She always looked to be on the wrong side of uncomfortable. “I trust they are not giving you too much trouble?” The birds chirped happily at Aubre. She’d helped draw them gently from hatching to flight feathers.

She offered the lemonade.

It's Raining Needles [O][M]

POSTED ON Jun 4, 2023 3:18:04 GMT

[attr="class","samjertop"]

[attr="class","samjer"]

[attr="class","samjermain"]

Earlier, the clinic received a call about an injured Nidoran in Petalburg Woods. Though about to start lunch, Aubre volunteered for pick-up. After asking her party for volunteers, she found herself accompanied by a silent Kabutop and a cheery dynamo of a Jumpluff. The latter was attached to her trainer’s wrist with a thin leash to prevent a gust from taking her away.

A Farigaraf linseed a distance behind them, more intent on enjoying the taste of the foliage than in the search. Occasionally, Aubre would turn to check on Arthur. Her hand would wave in an awkward wave. The timid giraffe would smile before braying back. “You okay back there?” His gait didn’t look quite right. But she supposed suddenly having four legs again would do that for you. She’d even written an article on how his prosthetic exploded on his evolution. “Just tell me if you need anything, all right?”

Suddenly, a cold blade pressed against her chest. Well, the flat end of one. “Tops.” Though she knew Roman was dependable, it was hard to resist a fearful jolt. Those ‘hands’ were dangerous. Ancient people’s used to use them as cutting implements. As her eyes slid to the water type, her gaze caught on a male Nidoran limping between two bushes. “Oh no! I wonder what happened!” Her voice was a hushed whisper. “Thank Arceus your eyes are better than mine.” Not that it was a matter of vision, huh? You just spend too much time with your head in the clouds.

Before she could dive after the toxic rabbit, it caught sight of them. With a squeak, it limped its way between two bushes. “Wait! Pleasr” She threw herself after him, plunging headlong into the bushes. “We’re here to help.” As she emerged into the clearing opposite, a growl drew her attention. Green eyes widened as she found herself staring into the enraged eyes of a Nidoking.

A Poison Needle rained upon her. Or, it would have if Roman did not throw himself into the fray, using his blades as a shield.

The injured Nidoran cowered behind its parents, its stance is pained.

Often teased for her curiosity, the redhead could not help but wonder what one o those portals would be like. But, she also did not think she’d have the courage to step through one. A few hundred years ago—or in the future—she might be seen as some kind of pariah. Some silly crime might get her burnt at the stake. Then again, to hold history itself in your hands? Wow.

While she had not yet had an opportunity to treat an Alpha Pokemon, she did not struggle to imagine one. “I am sure that is quite the sight to behold.” The doctor murmured in response. She had to wonder how being such a large size affected the creature. Did the mutation cause some sort of ailment? Did the heart and lungs grow to match? “I really am not sure I could deal with everything being bigger, though.” Her eyes drifted to her Skiploom and Alastor. “I’m already bite-sized.”

The redhead listened as he continued. A small smile on her face—though it was due more to his excitement than any real interest in taming a giant Liepard. Personally, she found the idea of a saddle demeaning. She did not even like the idea of cowgirl and doggy styles. Not that she’d ever mention that in public. “I was commenting more on general personalities. Many of them are quite haughty—not that it’s always the case.” Her family’s Persian, for instance, had been the picture of patience and gentleness. “And, I am sure I would fall off at the first flex.”

She may have done gymnastics as a child, but she never said she was amazing at it.

The doctor took note of his pain, pushing him for just a moment before lessening the pressure. This gesture she repeated a few more times, pushing the boundary when it seemed prudent. She tried to ignite the heat rippling beneath her fingers, focusing instead on Josh’s words. “I am sure it’s a tough win. I always did find Hoenn’s gym system fascinating.” It really did more than force Pokemon into dogfights for shiny pieces of metal.

Red rose to color Aubre’s cheeks. She laughed. Awkwardly. “Oh, sir, no, I did not mean as a competitor—” Most of her Pokemon were ill-suited for riding. Most of them lacked the drive to battle at all. “I meant as a spectator. I thought she would like to see it.” Then again, it was a gym, not some coliseum. Maybe he didn’t have that at all?

With a nod, she set Aslan’s paws back on the table. “I am glad to see you are recovering so nicely.” From her white coat—in a slightly stained pocket—she pulled out a bit of jerky. She offered it to the Pyroar with a smile. “I don’t suppose I can bribe you into the tank?” Cats didn’t like water and fire cats did so even less.

Meanwhile, irritated by the implication that she was weak, the Skiploom turned the TV off and launched herself irritably toward the door.

Tempest Quinn. Criminal, terrorist, and Rocket Beast. Lovely that the universe decided not to send her a grunt or pick pocket.

The head shake was met with narrowed eyes. “I can’t let you do this.” Angry tears pricked at her eyes. “I don’t even understand why you would. I'm sure some of these Pokemon were Rocket born to begin with." She took a deep breath, surprised to find the urge to shirk shrinking. All this stupid dogmatic nonsense just delays the inevitable.” She was surprised to hear the rage in her own voice. Rarely did she voice a negative opinion. “One day you’ll have to sit down, talk, and work out your differences.” But, for some reason, power decided there had to be a war first.

Now’s your chance to leave. Make sure you kiss your baby good night. But the very idea churned her stomach like expired seafood. What kind of person would she be if she just watched him kidnap her patients? These Pokemon trusted and depended on her. Many of them had cried tears of pain into her lap as she told them it was going to be okay. A squeal of pain made the doctor turn on reflex-her eyes sliding toward the Arcanine.

With an alarmed squawk, Alastor jerked her hand. He shook his head once, frill expanding with concern. He shook his head. Together from cradle to now, his warning was apparent. Right, it’s a dog. Why did it have to be a dog? Her eyes caught a glimmer of orange as flames flared Oh, great, it breathes fire. She took a deep breath, trying her best to banish thoughts of Mikaela and the alley. Those things had nothing to do with now. And if she didn’t focus, it’d end badly.

She was Aubre McKenna—child of an elite four and niece to a former champion coordinator. Pokemion battling ran in her veins—passionate o not. Her Pokemon trusted her. With a look of determination, she lifted her eyes to Tempest. “Alastor, let the other Pokemon out.” They weren’t prisoners, after all. They’d be better off if they could evade on their own. With a gentle touch to his trainer’s hand, the Heliolisk ran to do as he was bidden.

Taking the key card from her waist, he moved to unlock the other paddock.

From her ball, she pulled another Pokeball. From it, a Swampert appeared. Instantly, the normally jovial creature knew something was wrong. “Serena, take care of our friend. Mudshot!” With a bellow, the Swampert barrelled toward the Hisuian dog. A ball of mud was summoned from the Earth, aimed right at the dog’s mug. Then, on its heels, a Hydro Pump followed. Pick on someone your own size, mutt.

Green eyes lifted to the tired eyes of the Gyarados. “I’m sorry.” She offered a tight-lipped smile. Can you help me just this once?” He rose to his full height. He shook his head. The little one did not need to apRetired or not, he had no intention of letting someone take his home.

Bad type match-up or not, he felt equipped to handle a kit.

Aubre’s hand slid to her phone in her pocket, fingers trembled as she pulled it out.

Though shaken from the crash landing, Aubre wastes no time getting up. Seeing someone else in need is to her what sugar is to a hummingbird. Though covered in dust—with a scrape on a leg—she doesn’t seem to notice. In her lists of priority, she always came last—if she put herself there at all.

Breathing heavily, still blinking heavily, Aubre offers Rick an apologetic, sad smile. Instantly, her eyes follow the movement to his knees. “Oh! You’re not—you’re bleeding.” So was she. With a snap she pops open her doctor’s bag. A worn, faux leather thing with a comfortable strap. A keychain hangs from it, showing charms with her daughter, husband, and Pokemon.”Let me patch you up real quick. I’ll need to know where you bought your pants. I’ll replace those and the dirt—shirt too.”

Behind her, the Dragonite approached. His chunky arm scratching guiltily at his face. The toothy grin on his face was equal parts apologetic and awkward. The redhead could not resist throwing her—no, the--dragon a look of reproach. “Again, I apologize. I’m glad you’re in one piece. That could have gone very differently.” She sighed, pulling out three extra large bandages. “Marcus was testing his wings. It’s been a while since he used them.” The orange beast shifted awkwardly from side to side, almost as if he was a toddler in need of a wee. “He may have gone a teensy-weensy bit overboard.”

Let’s hope he isn’t the type to sue. The clinic wouldn’t appreciate a lawsuit. Images of her in a box flashed through her mind. With no one else ou here, this fellow could claim all kinds of wrongdoing.

A noise from the bushes at the side of the path made her smile. A little Volbeat peered curiously around the bush as if contemplating this trio of happenstance. An awkward wave was tossed its way. Instead of returning it, the beetle retreated into the bushes.

“I’m glad you’re in one piece. Mostly.” Her cheeks flared red. “Mostly in one piece, not mostly okay. You’d think I’d be better with words considering I—” She wasn’t sure how to finish that sentence. Doctors knew plenty of words, but that sounded almost braggartly. “--read a lot.” Though, these days, it was mostly children’s picture books.

Aubre couldn’t understand war. What could be so important that killing others was worth it? Ideology? What stopped people from just talking to each other? Why did people struggle so much to just set aside differences?

This confusion was never on clearer display than tonight. A few days after Post-Dormitum, the small clinic struggled to come up for air. A parade of injured Pokemon—some wild and many veterans—threatened to drown the staff. Each injury was worse than the last. And, somehow, her heart never managed to reach the blissful numbness other people talked about.

Each failure stabbed her heart as deeply as the first. Being forced to decide which Pokemon deserved to be front of the line, hurt her soul in a way that was hard to describe. Because every patient taken back was just one more left out in the cold. Hoping to get ahead of the influx, Aubre decided to stay late. Her exhausted hands, raw from repeated washings, quickly made their way through new patient paperwork.

She paused only to call and tell her daughter tonight. “Good night, Mikky. I’m sorry I can’t be there tonight. Mommy loves you, okay? “ Her daughter made a noise somewhere between a huff and a sniffle. “I’ll be back soon.” The apology is somehow hollow in her throat. No matter how much she missed Mikky, she couldn’t leave patients here to die. Especially not for a conflict many of them wanted no part in. The doctors who saved her were probably exhausted. But they made it. Aubre needed to do the same.

Sweat flooded her. A familiar nightmare approached n fiery paws. But the Houndoom shifted between a dozen different Pokemon. All of them whispering words of blame. The patients she lost over the last couple of days. This chimeric, terrifying mass of powerlessness opened its mouth to expose teeth of fiery fangs. Heat tore into her flesh as she snapped into wakefulness. “NO!?” She awoke with a start. She couldn’t see the clock, but she knew it was after midnight.

She sat groggily up in her seat, the scars on her back screamed. A reminder of the power of good posture. Into the darkness, she spoke. “Hey, Al?” In the corner chair, Alastor blinked awake. “Heli?” His frill was wrinkled, much like the blanket on his lap. “Are you—?”That’s when she heard it. The noise that woke her up. A roar from the Gyarados in the Pokemon sanctuary out back.

Something’s wrong. Not bothering to pull on her lab coat or shoes, the doctor raced into the backyard. Her eyes widened as she saw chaos. Pokemon were free of their enclosures. And Chester, poor sweet, neglected Chester, was seconds away from smiting an intruder with a Hyper Beam. A few scared Chatot—the victims of a poison let out during the Dewford fight—fluttered between them. “Excuse me, Sir.” The doctor frowned. She managed to keep the tremble out of her voice. “I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

Alastor, no longer sleepy, drew even with his trainer. Unlike Aubre, he didn’t believe in asking questions. This guy was definitely bad news. It wasn’t like tourists broke into clinics at 2 AM. And, he knew the redhead was aware of that too.

“The office is closed.” Or, well, that was what the sign said. But she was pretty sure she hadn’t—the backdoor wasn’t exactly closed.

The lack of a return introduction draws her fingers nervously up her clipboard—the motion similar to a child learning to play piano. Each keystroke an uncertain motion waiting for an audible rebuke. “You’re—” Her eyes flicked through the checklist in front of her. “Mister Connors, right?” Hopefully, she sounded like she was confirming that fact and not a Ducklett quacking desperately for its mother. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Her eyes dropped to the doleful eye of the Wailord beside them. “We appreciate your help.” A strange keening emerged from the gargantuan animal at her side. Though whether it was thanks or a reminder that Doctor Chatty-Kathy needed to get a move on was hard to tell.

She decided to take it as the latter. After all, each second was precious. The longer the whale remained on its side, the more likely it was to damage its inner organs.

At the question, her cheeks flared red. “N-no, not vertical. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.” She imitated the assistant’s motions, though nowhere near as crisply. “It needs to be on its belly. For safety reasons.” Serena blew a stream of water over the pair’s head, moisturizing the beleaguered animal. A rainbow shower fell around the pair, dappling the doctor’s red hair with dew. “His body isn’t designed to lay any other way.” It’s a whale, genius. It’s not meant to lay at all.

A gentle hand moved to apply slight pressure to a now drooping fin. “I’m hoping we can get him home soon.” Green eyes softened as she moved to protect the sensitive nose and eyelids with another layer of sunscreen. “Though we still do not know what made them beacheached themselves in the first place.” Hopefully, it’d just been a side effect of an earlier fog.

Satisfied that his eyes were safe, Aubre forced herself to her feet with a grunt. As she stretched, the dull throb in her back amplified. Aubre winced, but quickly brushed it off. “Serena can help underneath if you need it.” Beside her, the Marshtomp swelled with pride. Her flippers rose to show off a pair of powerful digging mittens.
