First Bloom~

[bloomofhope]

[Having just officially gotten her Warp Band, Ceireia feels it's only right that she introduce herself. It'd be nice to see all the other faces out there. All the other trainers and their Pokémon partners.

As she turns on the video feed, you might catch a glimpse of her Flabébé peeking out of her hair above her ear. Above the other is another flower, a hibiscus today. Ceireia gives a bright smile as she speaks.]

Hello everyone! I think I'm finally ready to begin really venturing outside the city. There's a lot out there to explore, right? I'm somewhat trained in first aid, and I'm very knowledgeable about plants, so if anyone needs a partner to explore with, I'd be glad to tag along!

[There's a brief pause. She's forgetting something. OH.]

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Ceireia Shadiene. It's nice to meet you all!

[that's...interesting]

Surely you have made some preparations.

[bloomofhope]

I have no proper plans, but I do have some medical training. I was hoping there were others looking to venture outside.

[Okay, so maybe she really should've made some sort of game plan.]

I can understand a fair number of Pokémon too.

[incousinswithyou]

That would come in handy.

[first of all..] Were you assuming it would be a small trip? Say, a couple of hours or less?

[bloomofhope]

It could take a few days or even longer, right?

[She knows that much.]

I'm prepared to spend as long as I need to out there.

[incousinswithyou]

[...Michiru is not holding out much hope for you.]

Are you? Have you supplies?

[bloomofhope]

I do. I have one bag filled with camping supplies, and another is all medical supplies, herbs, and salves I created myself.

[incousinswithyou]

[that works too]

So you did have some sort of idea. [why would you say otherwise?]

[bloomofhope]

I just don't know where I'm going yet.

[incousinswithyou]

If you're confident enough, you could venture further afield.

[bloomofhope]

Like where? I've heard about the island to the south, which seems like it would be a neat place to visit, but I have no means of getting there yet.

[incousinswithyou]

[well then] The forest and the shrines should be enough to hold your interest for a bit, I would think. They're close enough that you're not too far - relatively speaking - from Union if you run into trouble.

[bloomofhope]

The shrines do sound promising. You wouldn't happen to know if anyone else is traveling in the direction of one of them, do you?

[incousinswithyou]

Not at the moment, no. However, I do have a couple of hours to spare, if you'd like the company.

[bloomofhope]

That would be great! As long as it isn't too much trouble.

[incousinswithyou]

I have a few errands to finish up, but how about I meet you outside the main gates in about half an hour?

[she mainly wants to see how her newly evolved Budew fares in battle]

[bloomofhope]

That sounds fine to me. I'll find something to keep me occupied in the meantime.

[Like playing with one of her Pokémon.]

[incousinswithyou]

[and true to her word, she shows up half an hour later.

Sup?] I don't believe I introduced myself properly. I'm Michiru Kaioh.

[bloomofhope]

[Sure enough, Ceireia is waiting patiently, all geared up and ready to go. She gets up from where she was sitting and extends a hand. Her Flabébé peeks out of her hair to peer curiously at the newcomer.]

It's nice to meet you. I'm Ceireia.

[incousinswithyou]

[she'll shake that hand, and then gesture at the Roselia skipping up towards them.]

A pleasure. And this is Lullaby, Lulu for short.

[Roselia beams up at Ceireia and the Flabebe. Hi!!]

[bloomofhope]

[Ceireia points up at the little flower Pokemon in her hair.]

That's Eden. My other is sleeping in my bag. Her name is Nyx.

[She returns that smile, and Flabebe sort of waves at the Roselia.]

I take it you've been to the shrines before?

[incousinswithyou]

Yes. I'll accompany you to one of them, but then I have other matters to attend to.

[alright so] Do you have a preference?

[bloomofhope]

How about the Forest Shrine?

[incousinswithyou]

That works for me. Shall we?

[a nod at her Roselia and then she starts heading unerringly towards the Forest Shrine. Roselia follows with a skip in her step, scattering a few rose petals here and there.]

Depending on what shows up, would a tag team battle work out for you?

[bloomofhope]

[Ceireia keeps right up, not wanting to get left behind or anything. As they continue on, the hibiscus flower in her hair changes from red to white slowly.

She pauses at the question, but nods.]

I don't see why not. My brother and I were quite a team.

[incousinswithyou]

Your brother couldn't join you today?

[she moves at a steady enough pace, quietly making sure that everybody is keeping up]

[[ooc: what would you like them to fight against?]]
