[action-- business district: salvage shop and (later) surrounding areas]

[The salvage shop is a frequent stop on Moonbay's travels, earning a visit from her roughly twice a week. Its owner has come to both fear, respect and tolerate her throughout the years, and one could say the feeling is mutual. Arguments over decent prices are often heard during those visits, and today is no exception.

Anyone around the shop, or even out on the street, can most likely hear some shouting, a few choice words more prominent than others.]


Twenty bucks for this piece?! C'mon, I could get more from the guy two streets over-- the one who eats Pokemon food, and he doesn't even know what it is!! Thirty or no deal.

[Similar talks continue for at least another half hour until Moonbay grabs her bag of remainders, pockets a wad of cash, and steps out the door to leave with a wave to the store owner.

Then she finds her rhyhorn missing. Again. With an exasperated sigh, she takes her warp band and begins to speak.]


[voice;]

If anyone's around the business district, specifically the salvage shop, I've got a little issue. My rhyhorn's wandered off [again] and I have no idea which way he went. So if you see a random one nosing through stuff or generally being weirdly social, gimme a call. Name's Moonbay. Damned thing.

I'll be looking myself, so... I guess watch out?

I'd ask how you could lose track of a Pokémon that big, but...

Yeah. So?

[Irvine knows how he is. Can't even remember his name 90% of the time.]

Doesn't make him any less your responsibility though.

[Clearly you should know better by now.]

[Insert a grimace that she can probably sense from here.

That wasn't even a thing. Wasn't even close to being a thing.]

At least I know how to let people down nicely.

[Instead of, you know, running off into the night.]

Better than your track record would be if you bothered.

[The rich guy is probably still waiting. He feels bad for him on some level. On another, not so much at all.]

If you can lose a Rhyhorn after ten minutes, who knows how long you'd be able to keep some guy hanging off your arm. Either you'd give up or they would.

I'm surprised you haven't yet.

You said you lost him in the business district?

I'll look around. He's probably just off obliviously terrorizing some poor dumb kid.

Hope you saved a few bucks while you off harassing the salvage shops, though. You might need the cash to cover any incidental property damage.

Nothing like tracking rocks first thing in the afternoon...

I'll meet you over there then. If someone's found him, just call.

[It's easy enough to get to their usual meeting spot, off the busiest main streets and to the (somewhat) quieter side streets that aren't full of shops trying to aggressively advertise their wares—all the while keeping an eye out for any hunk of rock that happens to at least somewhat resemble a Rhyhorn.

He spots Moonbay soon enough, and lifts up a casual hand in greeting.]


Hey.

[personal profile] wolvenmemory 2014-01-27 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[There are always ulterior motives. And he raises an eyebrow.]

Guess this is where I ask what you want.

[Though that was probably obvious. No one had run into her Rhyhorn yet? That's... almost surprising.]
