{ooc| *hits Melissa and Plushie* edit your posts, fools! I posted before you because... I'm skillfull xP}
|
OOC:
Like, I did edit my post. So I win. =P |
OOC: Hehee...yay for pranks! =D It's so fun to play a shameless char like Yikari, well, not completely shameless, that's where Hagure gets into the picture. xD
IC: Yikari gave the girl a friendly smile, despite the fact that she had just stated that what the boy had done wasn't nice, "Now-now, there's no need to be formal, Cynthie-chan." he replied, shaking his head at the girl's manners, "Just Yikari will do. As for your question..." he took a brief pause, "With that expression of yours you looked like you were attending a funeral already so I thought I shouldn't spoil the mood." the boy explained in an innocent voice, putting on his shameful-little-boy expression as he looked up at the girl with big, light brown, puppy-dog eyes "Are you very angry at me, Cynthie-chan?" {Birch twigs.} Hiro replied automatically to Akeru's question, {And I think there was some oak there too, maybe elm too, although I'm not quite sure about that.} Truthfully, the Houndoom had no idea of where he pulled these random trees from, but for some reason they sounded right. He had probably been around Yikari for too long, lying shamelessly as he did. As the cowboy-girl from before approached, asking for directions, Yikari turned his attention there for a moment, although the red-head had already replied in a rather grouchy manner. "Now, now, there's no need to be rude, Chibi-sama." Yikari commented, giving the boy a can't-we-all-just-be-friends look, "I do believe that I saw the dining hall entrance around the center of our fine vessel." |
"Now, now, there's no need to be rude, Chibi-sama."
He had struck a blood vessel. A blood vessel that was currently revealing itself on the forehead of our dear friend Oliver. "W-What's that supposed to mean?" Oliver asked, in as calm a tone as his temper would allow, clenching his fists in an attempt to keep himself under control. Normally he wasn't so quick to get this angry.. But he really hated it when people hinted at his short-ness. {I suggest all who wish to live back up a little. Thank you for your time.} Piro said, making his 'announcement' in a tone bearing all seriousness. He was probably joking, though. {That's not what I meant!} Akeru barked, turning to face Hiro again as the Houndoom answered his question. {But you get a coolness point for trying! Would you like to know your current score?} The Houndour howled, beginning to once again bounce up and down. |
OOC: I edited! ^0^ And this is a bit short considering I have class in like... a short time. >.>
Cynthia --------------- "Ah... I see," Cynthia replied as Yikari explained his actions, "So you were making fun of me. Making fun of me in a joking way? Ah. I am not angry, Mr. Arikawa. I--." That's when a the short boy butted in and began to become a bit angry about what Yikari had said to him. This was understandable, considering the boy had probably gotten such comments many times before in his life, and therefore must find it quite annoying. Wilbur blinked. {Wow that kid's short. Almost as short as me,} he squealed, finding it hard to believe. |
{ooc| Things are hotting up already...
Isn't Wilbur the name of the pig in Charlotte's Web? That children's book from...I dunno... the 50's?} Amber clucked her tongue. "I was only asking..." she replied, eyeing Oliver lazily. He was acting like... well, like an equal to her and the brown haired boy. Cynthia seemed to be calling him 'Mr Arikawa', which sounded far to formal for Amber's taste. Still, the short boy was acting like he was their age, when it was quite obvious he was only about 10 or 12. She watched him with contempt, but didn't say anything more. Instead, she turned to Cynthia, who seemed nice enough - Amber was willing to overlook her cowardice for the moment, and as she was the only other girl around, Amber wanted to make a decent impression. Guys were great, but there are some situations you really need a fellow girly for. "I'm Amber." she announced. Festival mewed softly, and bounced over to Wilbur. She ran around the Spoink in a tight circle, giggling. {I'm Festival!} she yipped, before bounding off again and doing exactly the same with Hiro. Then she paused; the vaporeon had just caught sight of Piro, and now she was watching him with curiousity. She hadn't seen another eevee-kin for ages - they were quite rare in Amber's region. |
((OOC: Not to nag or anything, but no one has seemed to answer my question from my previous post....>__>....))
As he walked up the long flight of pale white stairs, all Kiro could think about in his mind was, "how is Nami doing? Where is she? Why did I accept this request; I just got back home to visit her." Kindle lagged behind, struggling to walk, since his body was so abnormally puny. {{Kiro! Wait for me! You are leaving me behind!}} said Kindle, panting between each word he managed to say. He was about to collapse from fatigue when Kiro finally picked him up..... ((OOC: Sorry the post is so short, I will edit later, *C YA*)) |
OOC:
So sorry. I could've sworn I had typed up something.. Ugh, I hate being sick. >.< If you put a pause after Kiro enters the captain's place, I will RP the captain. Actually, I'd prefer it since I'd like to do something with the captain anyways.. |
Ernis wasn't liking this one bit. Not only was everyone ignoring him, but the short kid and another boy who popped out of nowhere seemed to conversing with the pretty cowgirl. And the scrawny blue one too. He sniffed, not really knowing what to do, deciding to lean his back against the railing.
{Why don't you join them, Ernieness?}Buu smiled to her trainer, gesturing to the group which had gathered, the Feebas on her shoulder nodding in agreement. {You should try making friends, friend.}Chue grabbed his trainer's wrist, trying his best to score a decent thug. Ernis however, slowly shook the fin off, before turning away with a thoughtful look on his face. Perhaps his Pokemon had a point there. If he made friends, or atleast got..aqquainted with these people, there would be some good points. He could follow them around to participate in contests, while being protected with the sheer number of them all together. And well..company was a must for him. His greatness and talent was not meant to be hidden away now, was it? "Well..Okay I guess."he faced his Sudowoodo and Feebas, shrugging before starting to walk over to the group. {And a one! And a two! And a pushness!}Buu called out from behind him, giving the boy a strong shove so that he would get to the trainers faster, or that was what she wanted. Ernis sighed as her arms collided with his back, causing him to land on the floor, the floor near Oliver's feet to be precise. The Coordinator had failed to catch the conversation which was going on before. "Ahh! My bad, kiddie. Sorry."he was addressing Oliver, getting up to brush the dirt off himself, shooting a glare to Buu before smiling to the group. "Hello, you lucky people! I am Ernis Reanalds! You may have heard of my greatness, since I am quite a great Pokemon Coordinator! And I for one, have decided to be in the wanting of includement in this 'little groupy' you have going on here! Let's be friends and all that chit-chat stuff."he announced in a high and mighty tone, waving his hands around for added effect. Behind him stood his Sudowoodo and Feebas, both peeking to see what kinds of Pokemon there were. {Helloness! I am, Buu!! And this here's my funny fishy, Chue!}the Rock type jumped out from her hiding place, grinning at the Vaporeon who had just introduced herself as Festival. The Feebas in her arms deciding not to talk, not just yet. OOc- Ernis has no idea what he's just gotten himself into, that inconsiderate fool.XD For my History project, we had to search on this, Sikh Temple. I didn't hear the teacher say it properly and went to search for a 'Sick Temple'. Made my whole class break down in laughter the next day.o_O (Got scolded by the people who I had to like, do the project with.XD) Lucky that we needn't pass it up til' tomorrow.X3 Oh, and ish Plushie sick?!XO Feebas hope you get better.^^;; |
OOC: Heating up indeed...gawd, I wonder how Ernis is going to make it alive through the RP. Yikari, at least, can excuse himself on techincalities this time...I think. xD Oh, but I'm sorry to hear that you're sick, Plushie. ;.; Get well soon, yes? Oh, and I do believe that it's about time for the captain to make a reaction already, Kiro should be right by his cabin by now, ne?
And I just have to say, Cynthia is my personal favourite of the cast this far. Hehee...she's so guillable in such a beliavable way, I actually feel kind of sorry for her. Yikari does too, luckily, now to find a suitable spot to fit in the little past scene...ah, but it will probably have to wait until they get into the wilderness. xD IC: Yikari's expression brightened again as Cynthia said that she wasn't angry, although before he could really comment one way or the other, Oliver had interfered and demanded to know what he meant. "I simply meant to say that there was no call for such harsh words, Akane-kun." the boy replied in an earnest voice, "I meant no disrespect and you have my deepest apologies if the little nickname I gave offended you in any way." he bowed dramatically to the boy, although he once again made sure to keep a wary eye on the person in front of him just in case he decided to do something violent. The boy really was touchy about his height, and had there not been so much company Yikari might have played on that trait a bit more, but he really didn't feel like trying his luck with Cynthie-chan's tolearance at the moment. No sooner had Yikari finished apologizing than the cocky coordinator from before came sashaying over to them, tripping on his path and nearly mowing down Akane-kun as he fell before getting back up and pompously introducing himself to the group. Yikari observed the scene with a measure of fascination and mischief in his expression, wondering what the short-tempered boy would think of what had just occured but deciding that perhaps it would be better not to find out. "Ahh...but of course, who wouldn't have heard of the allmighty Ernie-san." Yikari said in a voice of such overblown admiration that only a true fool would fail to spot the sarcasm behind it, although he wagered that Ernis fit quite snuggly into that category, "The coordinator whose appeals are what lure the sun up in mornings and whose divine spleandour cause it to faint and sink back beneath the horizon in a love-filled stupour at evenings." he performed a ridiculously overdone sweeping bow towards the boy "For my part you are quite free to join our 'little groupie', as you call it, although first, perhaps it would be prudent for you to apologize for your poor choice of words before our dear Akane-kun here blows his proverbial top, yes?" he nodded towards the red-headed boy, all the time wearing a cheerfull smile on his face as he took a few steps back from the scene. {Would you believe that I am utterly fascinated about precisely that subject?} Hiro asked sarcastically at Akeru's comment, his attention now focused on Oliver as he made his way a bit closer to Yikari, ready to protect the boy should things get ugly. Just then, however, the Houndoom found himself the subject of a veritable onslaught of annoying little pokémon. First there was the Vaporeon, Festival she had called herself, darting about and running around him like no-one's bussiness, the Houndoom growled in indignation, although fortunately the water type became far too preoccupied with watching that weird Espeon with the black sunglasses to pay any more attention to him. This was a short-lived respite of peace however, as it was precisely then that Ernis decided to step forward, two annoying pokémon in tow. One of them was one of those tree-like things with constant fool's grins plastered on their faces that Yikari was so fond of for some reason, and a particularly exhubrant one at that...joy....And the other...well, it was obviously some kind of fish, tucked away under the arm of the one who had introduced herself as Buu. {Oh joy...} Hiro replied sarcastically, giving the two a look which indicated that he considered them little more than a nuisance, {I am Hiro, if you must know, and I'd prefer it if you grabbed your prat of a trainer by the scruff of his neck and dragged him back to wherever you lot came from, thank you very much.} "Now Hiro...." Yikari said in a dissaproving voice, shaking his head at the Houndoom, "Be nice to our guests." The fire type scoffed, doing his best to ignore all of the pokémon in his vicinity altogether. |
OOC: Fuu.... I'm groggy this morning. My Dad woke me up in the middle of a dream and I'm still recovering. XD
I love everyone's characters so far! It's kinda fun to see Plushie play a hot-tempered boy. ^^ Oh, and yep, Wilbur is the name of the pig in Charlotte's Web. It's one of my favorite books. ^-^ Cynthia --------------- Lots of people were very near Cynthia right now, and she swayed a bit as she realized just how close they all seemed. She didn't like crowds.... She tried to slink away from them, but she was too involved now, and she wasn't sure she could get away with it without seeming extremely rude. She just glanced nervously down at Wilbur with a look that said: 'What do I do now?' The little Spoink looked up at her and said quite plainly, "Whatever you want." Cynthia listened to the cowgirl introduce herself as Amber, and nodded to acknowledge that she had heard the girl. She didn't seem so bad, at least she hadn't tried to poke fun at her, though she really wasn't angry about that-- just slightly confused still. "Ah... my name is Cynthia Tharnst. Pleased to meet you Miss Amber," Cynthia replied to the girl, her eyes darting over to Yikari as he spoke quite loudly to the boy with the Sudowoodo who had just introduced himself. People on this boat, for being so silent just a few moments ago, sure did like to draw attention to themselves. Cynthia usually just wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch, but, she took a deep breath, it didn't look like it was going to happen anytime soon in this place. |
{ooc| I'm tired... and in German we had to go in pairs, and because I was late to the lesson all the class was already paired up and I had to go with my...ARCH ENEMY *hiss spit*
Now I'm depressed, becuase she was mean. Her piercings are also scary. Yah... Mel... I get the same thing, with credit being stolen and stuff. Especially in German, when we sit in alphabetical order.. The guy I sit next to is terrible at the language (whereas I'm just scraping an A) so he always copies me.. I'm too lovely to refuse. xD} As Enris introduced himself in a flourishing manner, Amber's eyebrows rose so high they vanished underneath her coyboy hat. "Isn't co-ordinating a girl's sport..?" she muttered bluntly. That side of pokemon training had never interested her in the past, involving far too much thinking and not enough adrenaline. She smiled and winked at him. "Kidding, kidding... nice to meet ya." Her eyes flicked to the boy's pokemon for a moment, but she soon returned her gaze to the boy. His pokemon looked weak, to say the least - I mean, who on earth tries to battle with a droopy fish and a dancing tree? Festival giggled as Buu spoke to her, and began to dart around his feet. {Nice to meet you, Buu and Chue~! Your names rhyme! So cuuuuute~!} she exclaimed. Amber flinched at Cynthia's words. "Please... just call me Amber. Miss? Gawd, you sound like a teacher..." she groaned, but gave Cynthia a good-natured grin anyway. |
((OOC: I will finally RP again! I had a temporary writer's block, but it is gone. I am a bit depressed though, I found out my evil enemy likes me....Talk about pathetic, she is sort of cute though, BUT, back to the RP....))
As he finally made his way to the top of the stairs, Kindle on his shoulder, Kiro looked around, entering a strange, small, but yet quaint room. It's walls were colored maroon, and the floor was wood, painted white. He admired it for a second, and zoned out for s few moments, snapping back to reality at Kindle rapping his head. Kiro shook his head, and then saw a man with a hat on, who he obviously thought was the captain..... |
OOC: Wow, incredibly sorry, but this is gong sosososososososo fast that it's like ten lightyears ahead of little ol' me. Sorry I must drop out, as I can't hope to catch up, and well, I'm a little too busy right now to catch up...Sorry!
|
OOC:
Ah, 'tis okay, Naoko-chan.. Yeah, we do tend to go fast most of the time. XD It would've been cool if you continued, but.. eh, no worries. On another note my sore stomach went away. ^.^ Thankies for all the good wishes, I'm sure that's what did it. :3 Of course, because of that I had to go to school, and today just happened to be a field trip day. Today we went to a fishpond. Every time we go to a fishpond I slip on a rock and scrape my knee, though.. >.< IC: Oliver narrowed his eyes slightly as Yikari went into an explanation of what he had meant, keeping his arms folded the entire time. Akane-kun? Oliver had no idea what that meant, but decided to go along with it since the guy seemed to be pouring his heart and soul into this.. 'apology'. Actually, he seemed to pour his heart and soul into everything he said. Weirdo. Had this guy ever considered Drama Club? Oliver had calmed down considerably, however, once Yikari was finished. He was about to reply with a considerable amount of regained control, when he heard the sound of someone being shoved coming from behind him. Within moments a random guy had appeared near Oliver's feet, startling said Oliver and sending him a few steps to the side, seeing as how the red-head hadn't been prepared for this in any way. However, before Oliver could shout anything rude (especially since the guy had just called him 'kiddie'), the dude quickly got to his feet and began introducing himself with gusto, around the time that his Pokemon, a Sudowoodo and a Feebas, arrived behind him. "Ernis? Whatever. Watch your step." Oliver muttered, his arms still folded. The red-head quickly lost interest in the new arrival, turning back towards Yikari. "And you're forgiven, by the way. But just for the record, my name is Oliver. Now you don't have to give me silly nicknames." He concluded. At least that got multiple introductions out of the way, since there was a whole group gathered 'round now. He hoped they all had the sense to listen so he wouldn't have to repeat himself. Piro narrowed his eyes (not that anyone could see it through those shades), now that all these people had arrived. They were affecting his line of sight, how dare they! Now it would be considerably difficult to spot danger before it arrived. Wait! What if these people were danger! What was he to do!? Quick! Think of something pretty! While Piro was twitching for some reason, Akeru's eyes brightened a great deal. Funny people galore! Especially those Buu and Chue people. That Vaporeon was funny, too. Not to mention that Spoink! Hey, he was surrounded by funny people! And they all had the coolest names! Or at least the ones that had introduced themselves. Wait, the funny Houndoom had just introduced himself, too! He was still cranky, yes (although why anyone so cranky could be so funny was beyond the little Houndour), that much was true. But that didn't mean it couldn't be fixed. And besides.. He knew where the twigs were! {Hiro!} Akeru repeated, turning towards the Houndoom, once he had gotten past his thoughts. {Hiro is funny! He wants to know my name, yes? It's Akeru!} The Houndour exclaimed, a huge grin plastered on his face at this point. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Captain's cabin was indeed very quaint, and hardly furnished, which matched the theme of the ocean liner itself. Okay, so the boat was actually very big, but still, it wasn't furnished that much at all. In one corner, where the man with the big hat now sat, was an ordinary, rectangular wooden desk, which was cluttered with navigation intstruments and maps of various oceans, not to mention several books that were probably logs of the ship's voyages. There was also some sort of wireless microphone on the desk, which was currently being handled and tapped by the man with the large, important-looking hat. Since no sound came forth from any speakers, one could assume that the microphone was not working properly. On the end of the room opposite from the desk was a small bed and nightstand. It was probably the best the Captain could afford, but still nothing to brag about. Either that or he was just a cheapskate. The only other piece of furniture in the entire room was a painting currently hanging on the wall, which depicted a stormy night at sea. There was a ship in the middle of the fantasized typhoon, a stereotyped pirate ship that barely seemed afloat, refusing to sink beneath the raging waters. Lightning flashed across the painting's skies, adding to the painting's ability to somehow draw in viewers. "Test! Test 1-2!" The man in the corner exclaimed, earning no response from the microphone. Aside from the man's very large hat, which covered up whatever hair he had, the guy was dressed rather.. casually, in a simple white polo shirt, and long white pants that went down to polished white shoes. "YOU WILL WORK!" The man shouted, grabbing the microphone and pounding the poor device into his desk, denting the piece of furniture quite effectively before lifting the microphone back up to his mouth. "Test 1-2?" The man said again, grinning broadly when he realized that the microphone was now working perfectly (who'd want to risk getting pounded into a desk a second time?). Speakers that were placed around the ship would carry his message all throughout the ship. It was so fun making big announcements, heehee. "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! This is your captain speaking! After realizing that I had left my compass in my cabin, I of course went to get it and decided to check up on our progress from here instead of waiting until I walked all the way back up to the control room (okay, so it isn't really called that, but I like to. And I can because I'm the captain). In result, I have come to the conclusion that we are very much ahead of schedule! I do believe that we shall be arriving in Meridian Town within the next two hours! Maybe even one and a half if these marvelous winds keep up! Thank the map, everyone! Give it a mental hug! Okay, that is all. Yay for being ahead of schedule!" The captain concluded, placing the microphone back on the desk. Apparently, he was very cheerful when the microphone was listening to him. "Now, to get back to the control room!" The captain exclaimed to himself, standing up from his desk and soon stepping away from it. As soon as he turned around, he actually noticed Kiro standing there. "Hey! What are ye doing here!?" The captain exclaimed, pointing at Kiro and Kindle. "Do not attempt escape! Speak, intruder, speak!" Too bad his naturally cheerful voice wasn't very threatening. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oliver looked up as the captain's annoncement thundered across the deck, courtesy of two rather large speakers fixed to the nearest ceiling, which the Trainer had not noticed before. The amount of irritation and all-around anger in his expression began to decrease slightly, once the captain's long speech had ended. He unfolded his arms, close to actually smiling for the day, even after the irritating events that had happened earlier. "Ah, great news. Perhaps this day is finally turning for the better." Oliver commented, failing to notice Piro's twitching. |
((OOC: The captian seems like a funny man!! ^0^!!)
IC: Kiro paused for a moment, repeating what the captain said in his head, and the decided to speak, while Kindle was slightly shivering on top of his shoulder; the captain scared him. "Erm, hello? Well, I was just wandering around, and I decided to see what the captain was like! But, first of all, what's your name?" he then smiled, and then awaited a response, while Kindle whispered something in his ear: {{Erm, Kiro? Can we please leave? This man scares me!}} asked the Ralts, glancing between the captain and Kiro. |
OOC:
Yes, I thought it'd be fun to have a weird captain. xD IC: The captain paused after he had taken in Kiro's response, placing one hand thoughtfully on his chin while he observed Kindle's reaction as well. The sheer brightness of his clothing was becoming frightfully more obvious by the second. "Ah! So we have an adventuror in our midst! Heh, that sounds so funny because one would usually say 'traitor' instead of 'adventuror'. But you are no traitor! Or at least I think you aren't. You, my boy, seem to be more of the energetic type, yes? Of course you are! Do not deny my judgement, because I am pretty dang sure it's right!" The captain exclaimed, pausing in his speech. During his pause, he decided to clear his throat for no apparent reason. "Yes, anyways, my name is Benjamin Schmidt! It is a very nice name and I am proud of my mother for giving it to me. Your name may be nice, too, but I'm not entirely sure, of course, because I have no clue as to what your name is. But it is okay!" He paused again in his speech, but suddenly seemed to have realized something as soon as he had done so. "Oh my goodness! I have forgotten about the dearest control room!" The captain exclaimed, suddenly rushing forward and shoving Kiro as lightly as possible towards the doorway. "We must leave now! You, dear boy, you go explore somewhere else now! But if you get into trouble, I will be very angry at you indeed! So, you should.. um.. talk to some other people! Yes! Occupy yourself!" Quickly shutting the cabin door behind him, the captain was rushing down the stairs and towards the next exit within the instant. |
OOc-
Yeah..the captain dude's funny.XD Oh yeah, a sketch of Ernis I did during Study Period today.^^;; ~Clickie for tha ignorant dude we all shall learn to love~ Ic- "Ah, yes! Of course you've heard of me! I am after all, one of the greatest Coordinators Hoenn has seen so far."Ernis beamed, taking in every word of Yikari's statement, it didn't seem that he would catch onto the sarcasim anytime soon. Delighted by the fact that the tall boy was now bowing to him. The only thing that bothered the Coordinator was that look on his face.. such a childish smile he had. "Its attitude like that, that makes the lack of male Coordinators these days-"the boy stopped talking as Amber stated that she was ony kidding, winking at him. Oh yes, the cowgirl was very pretty indeed. Ernis decided that he was going to continue staring at her unlike he freaked her out so much she had to continue talking to him. "Ernis, my boy, you are one smart thinker!"he praised himself mentally, giving Cynthia and Oliver an absent-minded wave with one of his hands before carrying out the afformentioned plan. {Heyness! Don't say such bad things about Ernieness here! He's a good trainer! Be bestness!}Buu immediately said in defence at Hiro's reply, though calming down right after, smiling before continuing. {But I'm sure Hiro didn't mean it!}the Sudowoodo was in a right cheerful mood, like she had almost always been. {Aw, no worries, friend! I'm sure Hiro here was just fooling around!}Chue joined in, sensing that this was one grouchy Houndoom he was dealing with. {You shouldn't be frowning all the time! But, I won't mind if you did a pawstand so that that frown'd turn upside and down!}the Feebas clapped his fins together, before glancing at Festival, to the twitching Espeon, then the Houndour. Oh yes, there was one more Pokemon who had yet to introduce himself to the fish. That Spoink with the blue girl... -- Ernis was certain that he could have continued staring for another few minutes if not for the fact that the loudspeakers began with that irritating loud voice. The darned contraption broke his concentration. The Coordinator flicked his hands to make sure his sleeves fell properly over them while listening to the strange announcement. "WIth a captain who talks like that, I wonder if we'll even make it to the island without drowning to death.."he mumbled, though glad that they were reaching land soon. Crossing his arms as there was nothing else to do but look cool, or whatever it meant to him. OOc- *wonders why Ernis hasn't been killed/thrown off the ship by now* |
OOC: Amen, cheers for the captain! ^0^ Oh, and for Ernis' picture too, although I think his right (Our left that is) arm seems disproportionally long. o.O Meh, it could just be me, though. ^-^
Oh, and yay for you not being sick anymore Plushie! ^-^ So well-wishing works? I'm going to have to do a lot more of that then. Hmm...maybe charge the less special individuals for it too. xD IC: Yikari put on a would-be dissapointed expression at Oliver's comment, "Aww...but Oliver-sama, I like to adress people by silly nicknames." he let out a good natured chuckle, "But very well, since you're such a good sport I won't call you Akane-kun any longer, even though that name suits you better than you might know." he grinned at some inner joke of his "Oh, I almost forgot." the boy stated, clapping his hands together and turning to adress the group in general, "Ladies, gentlemen, and Ernie-san..." he cast a meaningfull glance at the coordinator who had taken up staring at Amber "If I may have your attention please?" he beamed at the whole assembled lot of them, "For those who don't know, my name is Yikari Arikawa and it is a pleasure to meet you all." he performed yet another dramatical bow, this time to everyone. Before the boy could continue, however, the captain's announcement cut in, his voice booming across the ship, courtesy of the loudspeakers. Once the old man had finished, Oliver was quick to state that the day was finally turning better while Ernis made a pessimistic comment about their chances of survival. "Ahh...don't worry Ernie-san." Yikari said, laughing as he patted the coordinator on the shoulder as if he were an old friend, "I'm certain that our esteemed captain is quite well aware of what he's doing." he turned towards the whole group again, "Soo...what do you good people make of this whole invitation thing, then?" he inquired, watching the others curiously, "Do you think it will be fun?" Hiro was about to say something snappish at Akeru's introduction but then came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the effort. Sarcasm was wasted on some people, {Pleasure to meet you, I'm sure...} he muttered in a completely dispassionate tone, {As for me performing pawstands...} the Houndoom added indignantly, {That you can forget. I'm here for security and strategic counsel, pawstanding and other tomfoolery is already quite well taken care of Hagure and my trainer here.} he nodded towards Yikari. OOC: As a random piece of trivia; if my sources are correct, 'Akane' is the japanese name for Madder, a kind of plant which grows to about 1.5 meters of height (*Cough*Oliver*Cough*) and can be made into a crimson red dye (Note Oliver's hair colour). It's also a japanese girls' name (Cause he can look kinda femmy xD). Lol, triple-hit. I spend way too much time thinking about some these things. xD |
OOC: My goodness, the boys on the ship are gonna wear themselves out by the time they reach Meridian Town. XD
And yeah Alter, you do think of these things too much. j/k ^-^ What a perfect plant to name Oliver after though!! Cynthia ---------------- How outgoing everyone here was. It was so strange to be in the middle of all of this... as if Cynthia had suddenly become a passenger on a showboat. That Ernis kid was certainly happy with himself and kept on staring at Amber. Oliver looked close to blowing a fuse and Cynthia was little afraid of him. She didn't really like people, especially boys, who shouted a lot and got angry all of the time. Ernis had even spoken ill of the captain. She had visibly frowned at his statement of the captain drowning, and had she been a stronger person, would have commented on it. She smiled though as Yikari mentioned the invitation. That meant she was on the right ship for sure! Her head was still a bit dazed from Yikari's trick, and she hadn't really been 100 percent sure she was where she was. As the very animated boy had asked a question directed to them all, Cynthia felt that she could answer without looking too forward. She didn't mind speaking her opinion when asked. She was just never the first one to initiate the conversation. She stepped forward, "I- I think it's exciting. This place... is supposed to be fairly new, right? Not many people from the other regions have come here before." She was being sincere, and really did think it was exciting. Scary as well, but she omitted that part, not wanting to look too frail in front of such strong people. Wilbur had jumped down from Cynthia's arms to the gaggle of pokemon that had been looking and talking to each other. He figured he should introduce himself, and try to look somewhat more outgoing than his wispy trainer. {Hi. In case any of you were wondering, my name's Wilbur. I'm with the timid-looking human girl over there,} he said, indicating Cynthia with his nubby arm. |
OOC: Nonsense Melissa! Boys their age have a lot more energy than you think. Why Yikari alone could go on for hours at an end without even noticing fatigue, and Oliver is probably no worse. Ernis could probably manage it too...well, at least if he could spend the time staring at Amber. xD
Oh, and Akane was just a spurr of the moment thing because I'd incidentally learned about the plant when running random japanese terms through internet translators and dictionaries the other day, I thought that the coincidence was so amusing that it wouldn't do for Yikari not to take advantage of it. ^-^ Oh, and Akane is also Whitney the Goldenrod gym leader's original name. And one more thing; it was Ernis who commented on them all drowning, not Oliver. Cynthie-chan is barking up the wrong tree. =P IC: Yikari's face lit up a bit, quite the feat considering the expression it was already wearing, as he noticed that Cynthie-chan was not only speaking up but also...smiling? Yes, that seemed to be her verison of a smile. Poor Cynthie-chan, she obviously couldn't have gotten to smile very often in her life, seeing how out of practice she was. Well, the boy concluded, he would be quite glad to teach her. "I concur with Cynthie-chan here." he stated, nodding at the girl's words, "It's going to be fun to see what's on the other side of the glorified puddle. Not to mention Chrysso-sama's machine..." he added with a spark of enthusiaism glowing brightly in his eyes, "...I wonder if he would let me try controlling it if I asked nicely?" the boy continued speculating, tilting his head slightly "I do have a certain way with machines you know..." {A very destructive way...} Hiro interjected, giving the boy a stern glance, {Remember what became of that quizz machine back at Cinnabar?} Yikari folded his arms defensively, although even this motion seemed a tad exaggerated, "Well, it did ask for a manual correction." he retorted. {I still don't believe that it meant throwing the manual at it, you know.} Hiro retorted, rolling his eyes. "Well I still think they made too much of a fuss about it." Yikari stated as his final defense before suddenly unfolding his arms and seeming to shrug off the matter alltogether, "So...what about the rest of you?" he asked, once again turning his attention to the group, "Do you believe that Chrysso-sama's invention is as great as he thinks it is?" |
{ooc| I'm making refrigerator cake! Or however it's spelt... yay. Chocolate, Butter, Syrup, Sultanas, nuts and cherries!
Ahhh, I do like winter. I do an awful lot of mucking around in the kitchen. Also... I have no school next week~! Love the picture, Yibber. And the post. Enris is...as funny as feebas.} Amber blinked. Enris was... well, staring at her. Not even slyly. Those big brown eyes of his were fixed straight on her, almost unblinkingly, and Amber found herself feeling strangely...paranoid. She stared down at her t-shirt and plucked at it cautiously, then stared at Enris. "Uh... have I got soup on me or something?" she asked the boy, and shot a questioning glance at her Vaporeon. The little water type shrugged her shoulders, as if she understood what Amber meant from her expression alone. She shook her head, and turned to Yukari for a second. However, he spoke in such an over egged way he really was giving her a headache. "Crissie....sameh?" she rubbed her forehead. "Gah, speak normally, all these languages are giving me a headache..." she muttered, gesturing to the pokemon. She grinned half-heartedly at the red-headed boy. "Oliver. Got it... at least someone's got a normal name around here." Festival giggled - after all, Amber's large ego needed a lot of nurturing; laughing at her jokes was just one of the things Festival liked to do for her trainer. Turning away from the humans, Festival switched her attention back to Oliver's espeon, who was wearing sunglasses and looking very classy. She fluttered her eyelashes. {Hello, sir!} she squeaked, {Nice to meet you!} |
Blinking in suprise, before he even got to say another word, Captain Schmit took off, and Kiro, was unfortunatly left speechless, Kindle still shaking, said to Kiro:
{{Kiro, let us PLEASE GO BACK TO THE ROOM!}} said the small green Pokemon, the ever popular angry vein popping out of his forehead. "Ok! OK! We will leave now," replied Kiro, a bit annoyed by Kindle. As he walked toward the stairs, he returned Kindle to his PokeBall. Kindle, in respect, did as his master wished, and returned to his ball. He then walked down the inforgiving stairs, wishing that they would arrive in Meridian Town already..... |
OOC:
Ah, so that's why 'Akane' seemed so familiar.. I read about it being Whitney's Japanese name somewhere. Probably Wikipedia or something along that line. But that name does suit Oliver perfectly, yes it does. XD Heh. The Captain > Most. On a side-note, BB may be joining in some time soon. He missed sign-ups because of his acting adventure, so yesh. It shouldn't be too late for him, though, seeing as how the boat still has quite a while more to go before reaching Meridian Town. I just thought I'd let y'all know. Anybody have a problem with this? IC: Oliver tilted his head slightly as Yikari asked for everyone's opinion on the invitation thing. Now this struck him with shock.. He hoped that Yikari wasn't talking about a certain invitation that Oliver himself had recieved. However, the red-head's hopes were crushed when the drama king began referring to 'Chrysso-sama', Oliver instantly recognizing that same name (although without that suffix thing) from his own invitation. Oliver stood rooted to the spot in his shock, listening in horror as Cynthia shared her opinion, followed up by more over-egged comments from Yikari. Yes, he had figured that all the passengers were headed for the same town.. But in no way had he pictured that these guys were going to the presentation as well. He just could not picture himself sitting through a presentation in the same room as Yikari. Or that Ernis guy. The girls seemed level-headed enough to provide a sound level suitable for concentration. "Wait!" Oliver exclaimed, finally getting over his momentary shock. "You're all going to that Chrysso guy's presentation too!?" He shouted, holding both hands to his head at this point. "If that's true, then that invention had better be as great as it sounds, else there's no way I'm getting through this.." Meanwhile, Piro immediately snapped back to his senses as Festival adressed him, his ears perking up as he became aware of his surroundings once more. Once he had spotted the Vaporeon that had called to him, he remained expressionless for a few seconds, tail swishing back and forth. {Yes ma'am. It is most honourable on my part as well. The name's Piro..} The Espeon said in a rather serious tone, pausing in his speech to flick his gaze across the other Pokemon gathered as well. {I would appreciate it if the name wasn't forgotten.} Akeru's tongue was lolling out of his mouth now, eyes fixed on Wilbur. They had been ever since the Spoink had introduced himself. Deciding to make a move, Akeru wasted no time in completely forgetting about Hiro, dashing over to Wilbur as quickly as he could manage, tail wagging the entire time. {Wilbur is a funny name! Have you ever noticed how really shiny that pearl is!?} Akeru exclaimed, reaching out to touch the blue pearl on Wilbur's head with his nose as soon as he had bounded over. |
Realizing that there was something going on on the deck, Kiro quickly ran towards the deck, only to see people conversing, some girls, and some guys. He walked up to a hilariously short person, with wild red hair, who upon first glance, Kiro thought was a girl. He then had to hold his breath in to keep from laughing his brains out, but then managed to say,
"Erm, what's your name? Mine's Kiro." Which was when Kiro couldn't hold it in anymore, and started to laugh like crazy, his large eyes collecting many tears from the laughter. He quickly apoligized to the boy, and awaited a response. |
