A Very Merry Hobo Birthday... To You!

[tsunbird]

Who: A whole lot of losers (this can mean you). Specifically, Ankh, Eiji, probably all of the Senshi, Martin, Elly and Fei. Nozomi? Possibly more Love Lives?? A WHOLE LOT OF LOSERS... I tagged everybody I knew would be here that I knew the canons for. :<
What: Hino Eiji's birthday!!
When: October 22! All day, all night, as long as y'all wanna celebrate this hobo.
Where: Hikawa Shrine.

He was pretty sure Rei had said something about it being Eiji's birthday. He didn't actually care overmuch, since she had come to him with the request that he take Eiji and distract him until a specific time, and given him the idea of making him buy ice cream. Ankh liked ice cream. In fact, it was about his favorite thing. So when it had been suggested that he could force Eiji into buying him some, whilst still fulfilling some kind of request from Rei, it meant he was getting ice cream and having the grumpy Shrine Maiden indebted to him (at least, in his own mind). So while there was the vaguest of concepts in his head that this was a distraction for some kind of celebration in honor of Eiji, he was mostly interested in the fact that he was making the vagrant buy him something.

And so here they were, Ankh dragging Eiji by the sleeve, heading into town.

"You walk too slow, how do you walk this slow? You're taller than I am."

[She reached up and put it on her head for the pokemon, really not minding. She tilted her head and lightly bopped him on the nose.]

Maybe you should go give one to your partner.

Ee. [ Nah, Martelé wasn't in the mood, and her head fin got in the way. She helped him dress in all these, though...

Oh!

Oh, you meant Trainer!

Boy, Gold feels stupid now. He looks up at Haruka hopefully, who looks down without turning her head. ] Really?

[ Gold wilts a bit. But. The pretty lady thought it was a good idea, Trainer!

Haruka sighs and reaches for a hat. ] I didn't pick you as the type to spoil them.

[ Being wrong is amusing, though. And that's the only reason this hat is ending up on her head. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

Indulge, perhaps, not spoil. My pokemon remain on diets and training regiments that not only improve the body, but the mind as well. However, social behavior and appropriate behavior is always important to encourage. Positive reinforcement is far more effective than negative reinforcement.

[ This girl's always got an answer, hasn't she. Haruka adjusts her hat and then decides to pretend it doesn't exist. ] So you're raising them for their own sake?

[ It's not a bad philosophy. Hers, though....hers don't all have that luxury. ]

[allergictoloveletters]

That is correct. That was a part of the promise the Savior made, and I intend to keep it. You sound surprised, Haruka-san.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka shrugs. She raises her Pokémon according to her own code. ] This isn't a fun era.

[ Gold tilts his head. Does that mean you need another party hat? ] Jolt.

[ ....you're not helping her mysterious badass soldier image, Gold. ]
