I. OPEN TO ANYONE AFFILIATED WITH MEMBERS OF THE CITY GUARD; co-worker (+family) bonding time.

[Bertholdt has been a member of the City Guard for about a year now. His co-workers have tried time and time again to speak with him, get to know him, most attempts have all failed but some of them have that persistent personality (whether in a positively or negatively attitude) that makes those individuals guard materiel.

One guard in piratical that stood out from the others was Mr. Eren Jaeger. Much like Bertholdt, Eren had joined around a year ago, his experience branching just a tab longer than his own for Bertholdt stretched his schooling longer than some.. They had their differences, Bertholdt was one year older than Eren and much taller, their elements differ, but one thing that was similar -- they were both shifter. Eventually, Bertholdt was going to have to talk to him.. As well as any guardsmen on his team, perhaps even their family or friends.

Normally, Bertholdt would be long gone by the time anyone could speak with him after work but today he was running a little slow..]


II. OPEN TO ALL; backdated- pre earthquake.

[It's not often, but on Bertholdt's days off he'd venture to other places outside his home in the Pokemon Habitat. Running freely amongst other wild Pokemon in areas considered dangerous to normal people, that shifter was fine. The wild Pokemon knew he wasn't the same as them but they also knew he wasn't completely human. Some accepted him, some did not. However, there was rarely conflict.

Today Bertholdt is out venturing in his Pokemon form, a shiny Cyndaquil that for anyone would surely be an amazing bond.

Wherever you find him, whether during an adventure or on his way home to the Pokemon Habitat, you will meet him in his shifter form, as a shiny Cyndaquil. As a 'Quil Bertholdt is much more scruffy than your usual one, not to mention a whole foot longer.]

( ooc: pose and actions brackets are both welcome. I have a plotting post up here if you want to work something out with me before hand. )

[Banzu's mildly annoyed that he was beaten to this post by someone else (who's not charging, which is a hard price to beat), but after spending the night cleaning up a shelving unit that had fallen over and blocked the only door out of the room, securing it and all the other ones to the wall, and being continually woken up by aftershocks, he'd needed some sleep.]

If you had any equipment or machines break, get in touch with me and I'll see what I can do about fixing them. I won't make promises if it's really broken, but I can take a look at it and tell you what I think.

Banzu out.

[Not his best work, he'll admit, but the important thing is getting himself out there.]

--hello?--I fell...happened--underground--help?

((Rise is trapped in a section of the Old City that's mostly cut off from the surface now, along with a good number of panicking Pokémon. This is the log to come rescue her and hopefully the trapped mons as well. We have a large group so no tagging order is necessary and it's not going to be a long dungeon-crawl so I think we can just single-thread this. Thanks!))

[Among the vast group of explorers heading out to the Old City, one person who seems to be pointedly avoiding it is a relative newcomer to the Trainer business. Earthquakes? Trainers getting trapped? That just shows the Old City is bad news. ...Not that he can talk about it to anybody.

So instead, he's going to explore the easier areas just outside the city! Get out there, study some Pokemon, get some hands on experience. Yeah, that's it. Just get on out there. Right out there. Just need to take a step, and he'll be outside the gates. That's right, just one little...]

...Perhaps this is not the right time. I should go help with repairs more.

[The silver-haired teenager turns around -- only to find an Axew standing in the way, looking at him very sternly.]

What? No, Takuro, I'm not frightened. Don't be ridiculous. But we are in the middle of an emergency, and going out right now would just be self-centered of me.

[The Pokemon, if he could, would raise an eyebrow. He's definitely not letting this Trainer back in...

...which is why anybody who goes near the entrance to the Verdant Forest will see a very strange sight: A teenager, trying to get past an Axew who keeps moving to block his path. He looks... conflicted, to say the least.]
