Who: Ruby, a Skitty! Player Plot! (nor and Reena)
What: When Ruby ran away from home, he was unable to take his Skitty Coco with him. Venturing back near the upper quarter is pretty dangerous when it comes to the whole "avoiding dad forever" department, but he wants to see if she's around somewhere and finally bond properly with the Pokemon. Hopefully they'll meet halfway...
Where: Pokemon Habitats

[Ruby was pretty... devastated when he wasn't able to take all of his Pokemon with him when he'd run away. His mother kept Coco at home while he was in school, and he'd taken off from his last day of classes to run away from the upper quarter down town to live at the theatre. Once all of his things were in order, he planned on trying to find the Skitty if he could, even if it meant seeing his parents again. Briefly, of course. He felt bad for his mom too, she'd be alone at home save for a Slakoth or two. He couldn't let his prize winning, adorably cute Skitty he'd raised from a baby go though, not when he'd groomed and pampered her to perfection. So, in heading toward his old home with his Ralts Ruru, he hoped that maybe the Pokemon would be out playing rather than at home. With a bit of a shudder, he imagined her stumbling into some of the mud around town. He looked to Ruru,]

Do you sense Coco anywhere?

[With a shake of her head, Ruru dismisses the question and he sighs. At least with the Psychic Type, they'd know she was close by right away... The young boy pressed onward, determined to find her.]

[ Ruru and Ruby were not the only two out on a search that day. The problem with the Union, you see, was that it was really really big. It might not seem like such a problem for everything and everyone that it holds inside it, since hey, that's a useful thing! Doesn't all that space make it a blessing? No, not when you need to locate somebody and you have absolutely no means to do so.

She could've waited for him and the other pokémon to return home, but the fact that Ruby had been gone for a length of time - and that wasn't school - was too much of a massive worry, and she wasn't going to sit around and wait for other people to figure out where he had gone.

Dirt rubbed on the bottom of her paws as she searched around, no clue to where she actually was. She thought to try the theatre or any of the locations she knew through Ruby, but actually getting to them was... a challenge. At some point she got lost from the buildings and roads, entering unknowingly through to the pokémon habitat tower.

But there was one fortunate thing to come out of that. Whenever Ruby and Ruru should find their way to the gateway connecting the two towers from the upper floors, there stands an Enlightened caretaker woman waiting to spot a young man close to Ruby's description.

... Which "a young man" being just about it. He might even be able to catch the woman asking any young male about to enter into the habitat - "Excuse me, are you Ruby? Oh, no... sorry, thank you."

Or will that be a bad thing for the runaway youngster to hear? ]

[Ruby had been kind of mean, not telling anyone about his plans to run away until the day it had happened and he'd only been able to bring Ruru to school with him or Coco could have come too. He had just been so afraid to go back home and being roped into his father's plans of "manning him up" once he was done with school that he hadn't looked back. Hopefully he would be able to see Coco in the Habitats, sometimes his mother took his Pokemon out for walks when she went shopping, but it was a long shot. If she was there with the Pokemon, chances are she'd see him too... and if Coco just "wandered off" and never came back she'd be worrying about two runaways..... Ruby's beginning to realize he hadn't thought this through as much as he thought he had.]

[When the woman speaks to him he's still in his lost train of thought so he nearly jumps out of his skin. Then, he goes way pale. Ruby...? She's looking for a boy named Ruby?? He feels his neck start to sweat, and Ruru hides behind his leg.]

Uhm... no, that's not me! Why do you ask?

[He glances around himself suspiciously, like Norman could be there at any moment.]

[ The woman leans the side of her hand against her face with a look of concern. Oh dear, not him either...? ]

Oh, a pokémon came through here earlier; she said she was looking for a boy named Ruby. I got her to tell me his name and a little of how he looked, but...

[ The way she described him wasn't... useful. ] She should be okay inside the habitat at least.

[Ruby wonders how to figure out who she's talking about while not seeiming too obvious...]

What kind of Pokemon was it? Maybe I could help...

Would you? Oh, that would be wonderful. I wouldn't say she would be hard to spot -- well, she was quite small... but she was a beautiful pokémon. I don't know which pokémon she is... not one of the usual kinds. She had a cute bob tail though, with the most fluffiest matching pink ears. Does that sound familiar to you at all?

[Pink ears and a bob tail.... His eyes widen a little.]

Was she wearing a knit cap, by chance?

[If that's Coco, then he wouldn't have to search anymore! But, it could also be his parents trying to find him...]

Was she with anyone...?

[ The woman's brow furrows. ]

Ah, yes, she did -- it was a cute little coat. But no, she wasn't with anyone. [ Oh. ] So you think you know her...?

I think I can help her find that uh, Ruby kid she's looking for!

[He's a brilliant liar. Truly. The lady may or may not realize the Ralts he's with has the same kind of decorative knit cap on her head too.]

Which way did she go?

Edited 2014-06-12 12:34 (UTC)

[ You're very odd, boy. Should she question it right now? But no, she'll point towards the entrance into the habitat. ]

Through there. It's the flying-type habitat, but she hasn't been in there too long.

Thank you ma'am!

[Ruby just takes off, giving her a wave in response and picking his Ralts up off the ground to carry her while he goes into the Flying Habitat. Hopefully Coco will be easy to spot...]

Ruru, you keep an eye out for her... or well, your mind's eye I guess.

[Ruru nods and focuses, trying to feel their friend while Ruby starts poking through the habitat.]

[ The Flying Habitat looks as much as one might imagine it. There's tall platforms up off from the ground with different levels of nests to be built for those who live inside of the habitat more than not. Wingulls, pidgeots, fearows -- they can be seen high above and heard as there's the odd chatter through the large space.

But there's a ground to it as well of course, green grass and wood, even a pond and bushes with pathways made for those to travel easy through ~~all a bunch of description that will matter not outside this log.~~ Ruru may be able to sense out that Coco was here, somewhere... and still is, does it feel like?

While Ruby's poking through the habitat, he'll see on the top of a bush (a bush much bigger than Coco) a familiar cute cap. How could it have gotten there? ]

[He looks up at the hat, frowning and reaching for it, but evem Ruby's too short to get it. Ruru has to bring it down with a Confusion, and Ruby brushes off any twigs or dirt, holding it close.]

Do you think something snatched her all the way up there? She might be hurt, or dirty!

[He looks all around the bush, finally deciding to start climbing up a nearby tree for a better look...]
