Testrun meme (January & February)

TESTRUN MEME

1) New Years Celebration! There are fireworks all over the city! And that means your Pokémon are probably hiding under the bed. No matter how big they are. What do?

2) There's been some heavy snowfall and the connecting bridges are overloaded. They're really slick and icy and need to be plowed for safety. You and your Pokémon have been selected for this "honor". Have fun!

3) With the winter coming, the Hot Springs have been overwhelmed by an abundance of monkey Pokémon. They've been attacking citizens who are trying to soak in the pools and it's creating a big problem. Go resolve it!

4) Caldera has been working on a project to restore some of their fortifications, and that means they need strong trainers and Pokémon to help carry and work the stone and metal. Time to help out!

5) The Tropical Island has become something of a destination in the wintertime, and it's getting really crowded. Some Pokémon researchers need to conduct studies on the volcano but the throng of tourists is simply too much. Help clear a path!

6) Wildcard! Make your own prompt!

Comments

NAOMI have a Kili

[youngestone]

[Kili?

Is kind of freaking out at the snow. Caldera is pretty snow-free and even when they get it it's never so much or so fluffy. He's hardly paying any attention as he and his two wander around the park, admiring the snow and walking right into Naomi's path]

HECK YES

[serenesuccessor]

Cuboooone!

[Her friends alert catches Naomi's attention. She looks around, spotting the unsuspecting Kili and co walking up the path. With a grin she decides that the path is clear enough. Setting her shovel aside she hops behind the fort.

Two snowballs are quick to come flying at Kili when he passes by. Naomi and Cu duck down, hiding from sight.

Thoooough the sound of giggles is probably a dead give away.

[youngestone]

[Kili grunts and laughs when the snowballs hit him but his Skiddo, Kuna, starts wailing because they upset someone!! Why would someone attack them if they didn't upset someone??]

Kuna--Kuna, calm down, it's just a game!

[serenesuccessor]

[Oh... Oh no. Naomi pops up immediately after hearing the Skiddo wail.]

Don't cry!

[Shoot did she hurt them?]

[youngestone]

[Kuna is sobbing as Kili tries to calm her down. Belbul just floats over to the Shifter.

In Poke: "She does that. Poor thing is skittish and scares easy."]

[serenesuccessor]

[Naomi gets up, brushing snow off her pants. She looks from the Belbul to the Skiddo and the young man trying to calm her down.]

Oh.

[There's a look shared with Cu before they're both hopping over the fort and going over the the poor Skiddo.]

Hey! Don't cry, 'm sorry we didn't mean to startle you. We were just having a bit of fun.

[If that doesn't work, then hopefully Cu making funny faces will.]

[youngestone]

[It doesn't. It just scares her more. Kili sighs and just picks her up for cuddling]

Sorry about that. I don't think she knows what to make of people.

[serenesuccessor]

[Well that didn't go as planned and soon Cu is hiding behind Naomi.]

Oh... Is she better with pokemon?

[youngestone]

As long as they don't scare her, yeah. Kili, at your service.

[He bows slightly]

This is Kuna, and Belbul is my Carbink.

[serenesuccessor]

'm Naomi and this is my friend Cu.

[Have a small, clumsy curtsy in response to his bow.]

It's nice to meet you all. 'm sorry for scaring you Kuna. We really were just playing.

[youngestone]

["But why would you play like that! Fighting isn't playing!"]

I wish I knew what she was saying...

[serenesuccessor]

She thinks we were fighting.

[Naomi translates easily, not even blinking.]

It was a snowball fight, it's something people do for fun!

[youngestone]

It's just like pillow fights, Kuna. Remember those?

["But why?"

At least she's calming down]

[serenesuccessor]

Because their fun!

[Her response is echoed by Cu.]

Why don't'cha try?

[youngestone]

[Kuna just shakes her head]

She's really bad about not upsetting people. She gets upset when she gets upset because then she thinks I'm annoyed because she's upset!

[serenesuccessor]

Oh.

[Naomi looks at the Skiddo again, feeling a bit guilty.]

'm sorry for upsetting her.

[youngestone]

Ah, it's fine. I thought it was funny!

[serenesuccessor]

We've been waiting hoooours - [she's exaggerating a little] - to throw a snowball at someone.

[youngestone]

Hours?

[He laughs]

Why not lure people over here?

[serenesuccessor]

[She tilts her head to the side.]

Lure people?

[Cu chimes in at that point:

"That's why we were making it by a cleared path!"]

[youngestone]

...what'd he say?

[serenesuccessor]

[Naomi blinks before her eyes widen momentarially.

Right. Poke-talk.]

She said that's why we were making our fort by the cleared path.

[youngestone]

Ooh. Well, I guess it worked since I came down here because it was clear!

[serenesuccessor]

Exactly!

[She giggles, bouncing in place.]

Cu was using all the snow I used to clear the path to make a really good fort too!

[youngestone]

Is that it over there? [He gestures] Can I see it?
