Who: Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh, assorted bonded Pokémon, and a scandalized Beartic
Where: Near the Ice Rock - climbing back down
When: May 6th
What: For once, they didn't steal this baby. Try telling that to the locals.
Warnings: Potential Pokémon battles. Inevitable inappropriately-timed flirting.

[ Well, that'd been a wash. And Haruka doesn't mean the part where a falling sheet of ice nearly dragged her and Michiru off the side of a mountain, or the part where a little Cubchoo nearly tripped over them as they dodged the snow. No, by the time they'd made it to the Ice Rock - Cubchoo now in tow and sporting Haruka's burgundy scarf knotted around her neck, to make her stand out against the landscape - it had become increasingly obvious that if anything was sacred about this place, it wasn't for Enlightened. There'd be no clues about the gods here.

Oh well, it's training. ]


We should've brought soup. [ Says Haruka as she hugs the side of the mountain, edging down step by careful step. The slope broadens out and levels off soon, fortunately. That'll give them more room to move around. A gust of icy wind tickles her face, sending snowflakes spiraling about them in a cold parody of their usual glitter. ] The atmosphere's right.

[For the past month, Eucliwood has been cooped up in Jinxie's home while she recovered from her broken leg. While it hasn't completely healed yet, she's managed to find a strong branch to use as a makeshift crutch.

And so while Jinxie was otherwise occupied, she teleported out of the house. Eu knew she couldn't stay forever, and she couldn't just keep sitting there doing nothing. She needed to get out for at least some fresh air. She'd debated just teleporting her way back out of the city and into the wilds, but until she'd fully recovered, she knew that wasn't the greatest idea.

For now, she's...somewhat content hobbling around, watching people go about their daily lives. The only Pokémon accompanying her today is her Furret, which stays fairly close to her, and somehow doesn't manage to trip her. Occasionally, she'll take a short break, finding someplace quiet looking to sit down and rest.]

[Action]

[There certainly are a lot of newcomers lately, aren't there?  Today is no exception to that.  Merrill sticks out like a sore thumb in the city of Union, clearly dressed in worn traveling clothes, dirt on her feet, traveling pack at her side, staff on her back, wandering through the city staring at everything except where she's going.  It's all so new and big and... different.  She is accompanied by a Nincada and a Murkrow, who seem similarly awestruck with their surroundings.  Every so often, she stops to whisper to her Pokemon.]

It's all very... big, isn't it?  And much bigger up close.

[Video]

[Later on, once she's inevitably heard about the city and how things work here, Merrill has gotten her hands on a Warp Band.  She has nowhere else to go, so she's going to be staying in Union for the foreseeable future, and it seems that most of its residents use these to communicate.  And while the technology is commonplace for residents of the city, Merrill has never seen anything like it in her entire life, so when the feed flickers on to show her face, she's wearing an expression of bemused curiosity.]

Oh!  Is it on?

[She turns her head to look at something or someone sitting just out of frame, just for a moment before looking back.]

Ah.  Aneth ara.  O-oh, I mean, um... hello.  Yes.  Hello.  I, ah... I suppose I should make a proper introduction, shouldn't I?  I'm Merrill.

[She nods her head, smiling sweetly for a moment before realizing she should probably say more than just that.]

Oh, I suppose you'll want to know where I'm from, won't you?  It's terribly strange, talking into this thing.  Can you all hear me, all at once?  How does anyone decide when it's their turn to speak, or does everyone talk all at once?

[A small hesitation, followed by a worried little wave of her hand.]

Not that I'm saying you're all strange, or that your city is strange, of course.  It's very nice here.  It's very... big, and...

[A sigh as she shakes her head.]

...Oh, I'm making a complete mess of this, aren't I?  Maybe I should just let you all ask me things instead.  Would that be all right?  I'm brand new here, so I'm not used to how you do things in this city.  But I would very much like to make some friends here.  So please... feel free to ask me anything.
