004. Action for northern Route 34/also one other thing
[PRIVATE TEXT TO EMMY ALTAVA]
We need to talk. Now.
[ACTION]
[Well, some of you may remember that...weirdly terse post from Descole that went out about a month ago, asking exactly how one would know if their Pokémon that requires happiness to evolve is anywhere near pleased with you. You'll be pleased to know that it's -
...seriously not anything he'll have to worry about anytime soon. No. Really. It's not.
It's not exactly something he's keeping to himself, either. Oh, no. It's incredibly evident in several ways, the primary one being the fact that he's currently skulking around on Route 34, just outside of Goldenrod City, and that Togepi he's been training is currently wailing up a storm.
Descole doesn't seem to know what he's supposed to do with the fact that the damn thing simply will not stop crying; to his credit, he isn't just up and ditching the thing, though from the look of it he's clearly considering - once in a while he'll get fed up and stomp off a few feet, only for the wailing to intensify the further he gets. The result is this...bizarre storming back-and-forth routine, simply because Descole is the paragon of grace and charm and he cannot figure out how to make the damn thing shut up.
Yes, he has tried everything from leaving it alone to being in its presence to...yelling at it to shut up. No, he has not worked out the incredibly obvious solution of "pick the little crying eggthing up."
-50 PICARATS FOR YOU, DESCOLE.]

They won't go after you. They have your name, but they shouldn't attack.
no subject
[[She's....cautiously optimistic!]]
Why is that?
[[Please give her good news!]]
no subject
I took a guess and assumed that the person circulating the list would understand personal vendettas. I was right in that assumption.
[He pauses for a moment; both his voice and his posture are incredibly tight.]
I asked to be allowed to handle you myself. In exchange for a few small favors, of course.
No one should attack you, because that would be stealing my mark.
1/2
[[...did she hear this correctly? He...]]
....you said you'd....so that no-one else would....
[[....oh
oh goodness
wow
you know, this eggthing
is so damn cute
let her look at it for a moment because maybe that will stop her face going red again]]
2/2
That's...that's really generous of you, I....
[[....have no idea what to say. What on earth does one say in this situation?]]
I'm.....really grateful, Descole.
[[And to her credit, she'll actually look at you while she says that! And that smile will even be a bit more on the genuine side.
...because she really is grateful. She just...has no idea how to express it, and....
....look at how fascinating the earth is, oh my goodness
better stare at it]]
no subject
I imagined it would be best to do that, in case your anonymous friend was watching when that list was released.
[He pauses for a moment, thinking.]
Speaking of - there was another name on that list that I found interesting. How, exactly, do you know Isaac McDougal? I believe he was mentioned as being a friend of yours by that...rather charming individual.
no subject
it is! excellent!]]
What, Mr McDougal?
....wait a minute, he was on there? He's done ever less than me, I don't think he's even-
....
....Kimblee left Archer to go travelling with Mr McDougal and I....it makes so much sense! I cannot believe this!
no subject
At the time of the first anonymous attack against civilians, was Kimblee with you? I'm not accusing him of anything, but it's relevant.
no subject
[[....thinking.....]]
No, he wasn't. Why?
no subject
[He pauses for a moment.]
If nothing else, you might want to tell Kimblee to watch what he says to his friend.
no subject
[[Emmy pauses, thinking. That...makes a lot of sense. Descole has a really good point.]]
I'll definitely speak to Mr Kimblee about this! Delicately, of course.
....it's a really good conclusion, Descole.
no subject
WELL
THAT'S ENOUGH AWKWARD FOR ONE CONVERSATION, MY GOD]
...you know, I would ask you to repeat that last part for posterity's sake, but I doubt you'll do me the favor.
no subject
Don't push your luck, now! I've obviously just been charmed by your adorable Pokemon here, and not quite in my right mind~
[[Which is so very cute! Such a cute little thing, it is.]]
Although since you've done me such a favour, I suppose I can repeat how good of a conclusion that is. Does that make us even?
no subject
I'll accept it for the time being.
[...and this conversation is now in weirdly civil territory, and he is realizing how awkward this is. Good lord...]
no subject
Well, since it's nice and calm now, I suppose I'll give you this back, then...
[[Just
moving to pass you the bbthing, ok]]
no subject
[well, the bbthing looks a bit confused because no really Hairwoman what are you doing
but Descole will...accept it after just sort of awkwarding some more for a moment, um
...yes, okay, it's. kind of cute. when it's not being horribly annoying. shut up.]
I suppose I appreciate that.
no subject
[[...Fearo where are you, let's get ready to go before the pair of us humans just die of awkward here]]
...I'm going to speak to Mr Kimblee about Archer. I think I'll even call him now. The sooner the better, you know?
[[Right, just....gotta....just....]]
....thank you. Again.
no subject
[no seriously
keep mentioning it and he's going to just kind of die of awk
BECAUSE STANDING HERE WITH A BABY POKEMON CUDDLING ON HIM IS CLEARLY NOT AWKWARD ENOUGH just get on your bird and go
he will be taking his leave, okay]
no subject
She doesn't intend to waste this chance; she needs to talk to Mr Kimblee, and fast.]]
