Testrun meme (November & December)

TESTRUN MEME

1) Harvest time! The Agricultural Tower needs a hand harvesting the crops. How is that working out for you and your Pokemon?

2) It's starting to get a bit chilly out! Snow is now blanketing the ground and as an unfortunate side effect Ice Types are now on a rampage through Union. They seem to be having a lot of fun, but it's inconveniencing everyone else, what do you do?

3) Soulfasting is upon us, and festivals abound. Residents have taken to one of the larger parks in Union to celebrate. There are delicious sweets, performances on stage and other spectacles. Some people from the audience are even being pulled up on stage! How are you celebrating?

4) With Autumn coming to a close, many trees within the Verdant Forest have shed their leaves into enormous piles. Unfortunately, this extends beyond the forest and into Union itself, and there is now a big leaf problem. You get to clean it up, have fun!

5) Wildcard! Come up with a prompt!

Then don't act like you didn't see anything in the first place...!

[Completely exasperated-- but it's Kazuichi, so it's mostly in jest. Probably.

Still, he'd rather turn his attention to Belaire instead, because her greeting is considerably more cordial than Kazuichi's right now, and he reaches out to pat her head and scratch behind her ears to hide his embarrassment.

Chibimi on the other hand is about just as enthusiastic as Belaire, crying happily at the lick and-- apparently not one to be left out of the attention, quickly pads across Hajimes lap to wave her little hands towards Belaire's nose. No, she would like the attention now thank you.]

I don't even know how she got up there...

[creamsouda]

[Belaire nuzzles her snout under Chibimi until she can pop her up onto her head, allowing her to slide down her neck, so that the little puffball can sit on the ridge of her back.

Kazuichi squats, chuckling and holding out a hand for his friend.]

She's a kid. I bet you were up getting into bullshit all the time when you were little.

[Kazuichi knows HE was...

And it's a lot easier to laugh about this problem when it's Hajime's and not his own.]

[recuttal]

[Chibimi chirps with absolute delight as she bounces on top of Belaire's head settling on her back and pawing and grabbing onto her fur as much as her tiny, stubby hands can.

Hajime reaches out and takes Kazuichi's hand once his own lap has been freed, using the leverage to heft himself up and stumbling just a step on the bunched up leaves on the ground before he refinds his footing.]

When I was a kid I wasn't jumping off of roofs and ledges... [Sure, he'd kind of thought about it, but after a certain age he'd never really had the guts, or any reason to try.]

I don't think I'm cut out to be a single father.

[creamsouda]

Dude, you're fine. She's friggin' fairy type, what's gonna happen?

[He mostly has a point. Entirely too cheerful, he claps Hajime on the shoulder.]

She'd probably be fine-- don't those things float or something?

[Belaire chuffs, gently turning in circles to keep the little cleffa entertained before weaving between Kazuichi's legs.]

[recuttal]

[He lets out a slight 'oof' from the force of Kazuichi's hand on his shoulder (maybe he's been away longer than he thought), to the tune of Chibimi's entertained little cries right around their feet.]

That's something you'd attribute to a flying-type! [Exasperated. It's not like she had wings.] She's got a smaller center of gravity, so I guess she can jump really high... but that doesn't really mean anything when you're falling...

[creamsouda]

Hey, y'still caught 'er, right?

She's in good hands.

[Squatting to give both Chibimi and Belaire some pettin's, Kazuichi keeps grinning.]

Iiiisn't that right, shorty? You just like givin' Hajime a heart attack, don'tcha?

[Sooooooo cute she's so cute]

[recuttal]

[Right. Great hands. Somehow he's not sure he qualifies as that. Maybe by the end of this he'll be a regular sports prodigy. That'll be the day.]

H-Hey, are you really taking her side...?

[He looks dully indignant at that. C'mon Souda, he thought they were bros.

Chibimi however, seemed perfectly content with that idea, releasing her grip on Belaire's fur in order to wave her hands playfully at Kazuichi's-- which kind of interrupted his attempts at petting her, but seemed to amuse her and express her agreement well enough.]
