OOC:

What? Attempting to escape your destiny? GET BACK HERE, I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!

*snaps fingers*

*all Herbie cookies leap back towards Yibber.. And miss her, yet totally engulf her bazooka in cookie dough*

Now! *grabs one of Titan's Feebas*

PHWEE! I HAVE A HOSTAGE! WHO'S IN LINE, NOW!? *inside joke*



IC:


Tessie smiled a small smile as she saw that Ashley had safely made it to the window.. That was half the mission right there. The whole time Tessie's grip had remained firm on the jacket, which basically meant Kula, not wanting to let the Snorunt go flying.

"Indeed." Tessie directed towards Jinger's exclamation, her smile growing wider. Though this fierce wind was getting a bit cold, even through her sweater, she didn't really mind.. The excitement of this ordeal, even from the sidelines was enough to let her completely ignore the drop in temperature.

But Chako didn't have any time to relish the excitement.. Or at least he chose not to. Hissing when a bit of debri from a nearby bush hit him, the Seviper shivered a bit, but remained firm, deciding that no matter what, he would watch for trouble.

Just like earlier, Chako wrapped himself around one of Tessie's legs, but this time to keep warm while he scanned the area again and again, glaring particularly at the backs of the grunts that John had noticed earlier.
 
OOc-
*GASPEN*GAHHHH!!!!Don't hurt the Feebas,Oh Mighty Plushie!!!>0<

*runs to Plushie and snatches Feebas away*
(You know,you didn't even pick the thing under a lock and Ludicolo,you just said that you grabbed it.XP)

Ic-

It was getting rather cold for Jinger,not to mention the wind picking up.The girl rubbed her hands together,possibly because she was anxious about Ashley or the fact that it was getting chilly.
She took of her bag,and opened it to make sure her beret....and Beauhin were alright.Inside the girl's bag,the Feebas felt warm,she had the umbrella to hug and beret for extra warmth.But still,the pokemon,she was rather bored and,she wanted to hug her mother.

"Okay,it looks like you're doing fine.Don't worry though,you'll be out of the bag soon."she told Beauhin encouragingly with a warm smile as she took out her own jacket from the bag.The Feebas merely nodded,managing to hug her mother's arm for a moment or so before Jinger proceeded to close the bag.

"Right,Beauhin's getting rather restless,and the weather isn't helping much."Jinger stated,putting on the purple jacket.

OOc-
Now..
*grabs sledgehammer out of pocket and tries to break cookie dough to get bazooka back*
 
OOC:

Aw man, now you have to make me use up precious energy on taking another one.

*takes another one of Titan's Feebas, then summons a Herbie cookie*

Now, nobody move or I will make this Feebas eat my one and only defective Herbie cookie! HAH!



IC:


Tessie herself hoped that the rest of the mission wouldn't take Ashley much longer.. She terribly feared that this wind would make her drop the jacket, Kula going down with it. She really didn't want that to happen, and so with every gust of wind, she clamped down tighter on the jacket.

"Oh.. Please hurry, Ashley." Tessie whispered, before noticing that Jinger had made a comment as well. "I'm pretty sure we're all very restless right now.. I feel Beauhin's pain." Tessie concluded.
 
OOc-
FOR FEEBAS!!!!!>_<
*grabs Herbie cookie and eats it*

Call it defective??Tastes good.*grabs Feebas from Plushie*

My stomach must be developed to eat these sort of things.Since Yibber eats/drinks virtually anything she wants.Like,the other day,I accidentally drank expired milk.Blame my evil sister who forgot to tell me that she knew the milk was sour.-_-

Ic-

"Gah,if her aunt comes out we'll be doomed."Jinger bit her fingernails,holding tighter onto her bag and zipping her jacket up.The weather had changed greatly.The girl wanted to make sure that her beret(and Beauhin,don't forget about Beauhin.XD) was warm enough,taking the bag off from her shoulders and holding it close to her with both hands.

"Isn't Chako feeling cold??And,you'd better hold tighter onto that jacket in this wind."the girl remembered that Kula was still in the pocket sewn onto the jacket.
 
OOC:

That's what you think, Yibber.. XD



IC:



"Please don't think about such things, Jinger.." Tessie said, already picturing Ashley's Aunt peering out the window and spotting them. For the millionth time that day, another gust of wind blew into her, causing her to tighten her grip again.

"And I'm holding on as tight as I can.." Tessie continued, her voice hushing to a whisper. "And I know Chako's cold.. But.. I can't do anything right now to make him warm.. Other than offer him my leg." She said, sighing.

In truth, all that Tessie wanted to do was to pick the Seviper up and warm him up somehow, but as long as she had Kula, she dared not make a move, putting all of her energy into holding the jacket.

"Hang on, Chako.." Tessie whispered down towards the Seviper, not wanting anyone else to hear.
 
OOc-
What do I think??o.O

I'll stop it with the posting,I feel sorry for Charon/Titan/Pete,and especially Melisii.-_-;;

Ic-

"Hey,just trying to get a conversation going.Its not fun to stand out here in the cold.At least Ashley's got the house,we've just got the wond blowing against us and the cold pavement for company."Jinger stated,gripping tightly onto her bag,just like Tessie did with the jacket she was holding.

"I'm sure I've got some blankets here."the girl rumagged through her bag upon Tessie saying what she did about Chako.

{Momma,feelin' cold...too bad ya can't fit with me inta the bag.}Beauhin sighed,feeling sorry for the others on the outside,passing a green blanket to the hand of her mother.

"Here,"Jinger held out the blanket to Chako and Tessie.
 
OOC: *gets up from Feebas swarm*

You're going down Titan!!
*hits Titan on head with Baseball bat, then swaps Baseball bat for big kendo stick!!*
No-one abuses Feebas, except Feebas abusers, and they go to jail too!! And no-one says my country is disgusting!! Charon, help me hurt Titan!!

IC: John watched as they shared a blanket. He had seen Ashley climb up to the second floor, but after that the weather had gotten very miserable. It didn't bother Ring though, she seemed perfectly cosy.
"Not much happening," he sighed. No-one was out and he was chilled to the bone.
"Except I'm freezing to death."
 
OOC: Ack! I didn't abuse no Feebas! The precious little things just wanted to protect me! And I never claimed that England was disgusting, I don't believe I used that adjective at all, and anyway, I was only speaking of the 'food' you lot eat (Feebas and chips, and you call me a Feebas abuser? <_<). But if that's the way you want to play it. *Grabs own kendo stick*

KIIIIIIIAAAAAH!!!

*Strikes Pete's Kendo stick in half* (I actually did that once IRL, ahh...I still remember the expression on my training partner's face when half his stick flew across the room. XD)

And Plushie! Don't you dare hurt that Feebas! It's my baby! >_< Don't you dare or I'll...I'll...I'll kill off my hostage! *Brandishes special edition Herbie plushie and holds it over a particularly large porto shredder*

That's right Plushie...don't mess with my Feebas and no-one will be hurt.

IC:

{M-mama?} Kula whimpered in the pocket of Ashley's shirt, now feeling a good bit more insecure as the wind began tugging at her in a far fiercer manner. Tessie's tight grip held her quite well however, and the Snorunt relaxed again just a bit. But still, she couldn't help thinking that there was something very different about how mama was now holding her; a distinct change in the warmth she felt, an ever so slight variation in the way that her fingers felt through the cloth, and all of this puzzled Kula to no end.

With one final sigh, Ashley finished the her goodbye letter with a quick signature, picking it up and placing it inside an envelope, carefully folding it and placing it at the pillow in her bed so that auntie Maria would be sure to spot it, she felt that she owed it to her to at least handle the letter proffessionaly. After one last glance at her surroundings, the girl finally tore her eyes away from the room, placing her backpack firmly onto her shoulders and turning back to the window, determined not to dawdle for another second. Waiting outside like that had to be nerve-racking for her new friends, and Kula might be worried too...besides, the more time she spent inside the more likely she was to get caught, and that was a scenario she would really rather avoid going through.

Now to get down... she thought for herself, feeling how her scar still stung from the climb up as she carefully swung her right leg over the window sill, nearly slipping as she reached for the drain pipe once more, but managing to make the grip regardless, firmly clamping onto the pipe with both hands and legs. The rest was all up to gravity, she told herself, as she loosened her grip, allowing herself to slide down the drain pipe at as fast a pace as she dared, her eyes once again shut until she suddenly felt the ground rush to meet her feet, letting out a small cry of pain as both knees bent a bit under the unexpected increase in force.

The girl opened her eyes once more, relieved beyond words to be back outside and smiling triumphantly, despite the fact that her scar now ached quite badly and would probably continue to do so for a good while yet.

"I made it." she said simply, adjusting the backpack a bit better as she walked over to the others, "Thanks for holding my jacket for me, Tessie." she added, smiling at the girl, "And taking care of Kula."

Meanwhile, back inside the house of Ashley's aunt, the rather heavyset figure of Maria Aegisfield made its way through the house at a steady pace, an old and rather ragged looking Houndoom following in her steps, its grey furr and faded eyes standing as a testament to the dog pok?mon having made it through hard times in its life and still pushed through. The duo proceeded right down the middle corridor and up the stairs, straight for the bedroom that would have been Ashley's. Maria didn't seem particularly surprised to see the window open, still pummeled by the gale, nor to find a carefully folded letter on the girl's bed, merely shaking her head in a tired fashion even as the Houndoom began a fiercely determined scan of the area to determine the intruder, its nose almost seeming glued to the floor as it began tracing the scent towards the window.

"There now Hiro..." Maria said quietly, gently pulling the Houndoom backwards and stroking its furr affectionately, "She's already made up her mind, and such a show of determination desrves its reward." she smiled wistfully at the window, "Like mother like daughter..."the old woman said, chuckling quietly "Who would have thought that such a trivial thing like the misplacement of a few hinges could connect such different people like that? The wonders..."

Hiro yawned tiredly, having lost all interest in the conversation and pressed his head against his former trainer, accepting the absent-minded stroking she gave him with a smile of obvious contentment on his face.

*finally manages to dig bazooka out of cookie dough*
Hello,old friend!!*huggles bazooka before proceeding to continue huggling the 20 Feebas*

Still,Pete's poor kendo stick got hurt...T_T
XD

Ic-

Jinger clapped her hands as she finally saw Ashley climbing out through the open window and carefully descending down the drainpipe.As the girl let out a small cry of pain,Jinger immediately rushed over,though still holding tightly onto the bag in her arms.

"Are you alright?I can't believe you managed to climb up,and with that scar of yours,it must've hurt."the girl smiled weakly after Ashley thanked Tessie for looking after Kula.

Inside her bag,Beauhin was feeling rather uncomfortable.Though,the Feebas managed to hear what was happening beyond the bag,she heard another girl's voice,stating that she had 'made it' or something.It must've been Ashley.Beauhin then banged her small body against the bag,hoping to remind her mother what she had promised a minute ago.

"Oh,yes,we're getting rather cold,think we could go to the monorail John was talking about?I mean,if you aren't feeling too tired or anything."Jinger jumped as the bag nudged her,realising it was only her Feebas.
 
OOC:

This is where I draw the line.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Yes, Yibber took away the Feebas and defective Herbie cookie.. Which will start taking effect some time tonight, but anyways..

PUT THE HERBIE PLUSHIE DOWN! DO IT, I SAY!

*lunges at Titan and totally bites him XD*



IC:



"You're welcome." Tessie said simply, smiling back as she handed the jacket, and Kula, to its rightful owner. Now that that was done, she took the blanket that Jinger had given her, bending her knees so that she could wrap it around Chako's freezing body, the Seviper not making a sound and letting Tessie wrap him in the warmth.

Once Tessie was done, Chako was completely covered in the blanket, save his head and the sword-tip of his tail, which flicked about as he tried to further warm his body.

To his surprise, Tessie actually picked him up, despite his size, and resorted to carrying him in her arms so that he didn't have to attempt slithering around in that blanket.

"Well, this'll be interesting.." Tessie said, adjusting her grip. "But I'll manage. Now we can go?"
 
OOC: Oh my god. I hqve a music exam. Grade 3. Tommorow. Help.
Nah, I'm okay.

IC: "Well, we're ready to go!" said John, a little more enthusiacsticly, after finding out they were doing something. He hitched his backpack back up, after letting it sloop halfway down his back during the hiatus at Ashley's house.
"Okay, the closest monorail station to here is Eastern Drive, which is..."
He got his bearings and pointed north west from where he was standing.
"That way."
 
{ooc| *is on grade 8* xDDD I've only been playing the piano for four years.
I've fallen behind quite a bit in this roleplay... by three pages. xD}

Alex followed the others, Sierra trotting by his heels.
"I'm ready too," he told John, "but what's a monorail?"
Sierra groaned.
{What a moron...}
Luckily Alex still couldn't understand her, so as far as he could tell Sierra was just complainging about all the walking.
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon." he said placidly.
 
OOC: *Ish bitten by Plushie and nearly drops the Herbie plushie into the shredder but manages to catch it at the last minute* Ack! Careful! You almost shredded Herbie yourself you manic person! >.<

And a music exam, eh? Haven't had much experience with those really since I've got a private teacher and we don't have exams in the school music course. Well, we had a small one last year, but it was easy, just recognizing some pieces of music and remembering a few terms. And anyways, I don't have music at school anymore so I don't have to worry about that. ^^

Oh, and you play piano too, Charon? What a coincidence. ^^ Meh, don't recall how long I've been playing myself, but it's a few years at least.

IC:

"Yeah, I'm fine..." Ashley replied to Jinger's question, putting on a brave smile, moving her right arm about a bit so as to prove her statement and promptly ignoring the protest that said limb made, even as she flinched just a bit at the pain "I did use to be an amateur mountain climber...before...a certain event." she gestured towards her scar and sighed, "I'm afraid my skills might have gotten a bit rusty since then. But don't worry, I'm not dying on you yet. I've still got a baby to take care of after all..." she accepted the jacket from Tessie, hugging the little lump in the pocket tightly for a while, happy to be reunited with Kula again, before carefully returning the jacket onto herself.

The girl smiled at the sight of Chako rolled up almost entirely into a blanket and held in Tessie's arms. If it weren't for the sword-like tail sticking out now and again the Seviper could quite easily pass for an infant, just as long as he kept his head down a bit.

"Yes, we can leave now." Ashley replied, nodding at Tessie and John, "You two can lead the way, what with being the locals and all."

OOC: Charon, how does Alex fit in at this moment?
And..Alter's already done it. you will see a glimpse of my next pokemon, who is a direct opposite of Ring.

IC: "As I said, the closest station is Eastern Drive. Now if I remember from when I lived round here, we go that way, get the Eastern Line and take that two stops," explained John with careful pointing, "But I'll need Tessie for the minute details. That's just a basic route."

Greasy Bill's. A local cafe, which despite the name, isn't that bad.
A couple middle aged men are drinking theirselves insane, three quiet chaps are playing cards and a bunch of other assorted people are there. Round the back, there are a couple bins. Beside them, a small ragged creature remains unnoticed. It is green and yellow, and isapparently making all the bins around it give people small electric shocks. It is looking for scraps, to eat. Without any it would die. A couple Gear grunts patrol the street, looking for 'things'.
The creature remains hidden.
 
OOC: Pwhee for the Electrike Pete! ^^ Erm, one question though...why did you suddenly switch to present tense when you began explaining its actions? o.O

Oh, and I don't feel like I can make an intelligent IC at the moment. Sowwee...

Ouch.*flinches as Titan gets bitten by Plushie*
I told you so.XP

And,what's taking effect tonight?!Hey,it 7:35am in the morning and I'm still alive!!!Yay!!^0^

Bah,play piano,I play the organ.Whose sound is adjustable so it can become a piano AND a trumpet AND a guitar.XD
And have group lessons with 15/16 year olds.And have two exams a year.
I failed this year's exam by ONE POINT.One friggin' pont.-_-
The darn Examiner couldn't give me an extra ONE POINT.Honestly,they're evil.I only mis-read a few notes.-_-
Reminds me of the time I failed my Higher Chinese Exam.By 1/2 a mark.(49 1/2)Which is even worse than one.I swear that the teacher which taught me that year was out to get me.She showed my exam paper to the whole class so everyone knew I failed.-_-

Pete,what exactly makes the Electrike a complete opposite to Ring?!XD
Unless you're talking about the natures.

Ic-

"If you're sure."Jinger said in a small voice as Ashley proceeded to hug Kula before putting her jacket back on again.Now she couldn't see that awful scar anymore.
As Tessie carried Chako,who was now wrapped in her own blanket."Note to self,never use that blanket again."Jinger looked rather impressed.The girl stated that she would manage carrying around the Seviper.Ashley was right,Chako did look like a baby,if only that long tail didn't stick out of the bundle in Tessie's arms.

"Yes,we're going there,and you can come out to hug Mommy then."Jinger hugged the bag,the Feebas in it hugged her back.

"I was talking to my sweet beret,but that of course includes you too Beauhin."the girl stated,grinning sheepishly before following after Tessie and John.The Feebas nodded,for some reason,understanding that her mother loved the beret on her head just as much as herself.And frankly,Beauhin didn't really care,as long as her mother loved her.
 
OOC:

*hisses at Titan XD*

Well maybe if you hadn't threatened me in the first place.. Now you'll be scarred for life. GIVE ME THE PLUSHIE! I COMMAND THEE!

*bares fangs*



IC:



"Eastern Drive sounds right.." Tessie said in response to John's suggestion, pondering for a bit before striding forward. "Come on everybody, 'tis right this way." She finished, already picking up her pace. The sooner they got there, the safer they'd be..

Meanwhile, Chako had warmed down significantly by now, and was now eyeing his surroundings again, paying no attention to that look on Jinger's face, as if she'd never use this blanket again.. All he cared about were those 'Teams' everyone kept talking about.

He wasn't really sure what they meant by 'Teams', but he was sure to keep them away from his beloved mother. Yes, none would get by him, that was for sure.
 
OOc-
I feel lucky that I got the Bubu clones instead of the Plushie.^^
Titan,may the Feebas be with you.XD

Ic-

"Fine."Jinger shrugged at Tessie's statement.She had no idea where was the place the girl had pointed out,so she just followed after her and John.It was still rather cold,and Jinger didn't like the look Chako gave her.The girl took a few steps away,keeping her distance from the Seviper in Tessie's arms.

Inside the bag,Beauhin was still restless,regardless of the fact that she knew that she'd be let out of the bag soon.Sighing,the Feebas turned to the beret 'sitting' beside her.

{So...what's Momma like?}
 
OOC:

Hee hee.. I feel sorry for Titan too.

But anyways.. I posted a poem in the Poetry section.. X3

Otherwise, I don't have much of an IC to post right now, nyah.

*is still baring fangs at Titan XD*

OOC: Don't feel like an IC....
The Electrike...he's a loner, dosen't like John, is surly, never goes to sleep and will hurt all your pokemon if nescessary. While Ring loves making friends, loves John, sleeps a lot and will never hurt her friends.
You get the drift.
