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. )

[Bertholdt understands Dotty entirely, he doesn't mention his shifter taters or his human affiliation but he does mention where some humanly edible barriers are that would help with his stomach ache. The Pidove seems very fond of their partner.. not to mention the Pokemon is rather friendly, the Enlightened should be honored to have such a wonderful bound.]

Quil, quil. [He asks the Pidove if their partner is what other humans call "Enlightened." Bertholdt is curious to see the others within the Union that are similar skill wise. He assumes as much but there is reason to confirm these sort of things.]

[comparative_insanity]

Pidove! Piiiiiiiii~. [Dotty isn't really sure what that word means, but informs his new friend that Fai is clearly like him, except he's still a chick who hasn't grown his feathers and who can't fly, so he needs to be protected. Oh, and sometimes he tickles Dotty without using those wiggly things on his not-wings, and he once met an Espurr who could do that too. It's too bad he doesn't know how to talk properly, but nobody's perfect.]

[And now some emphatic marching back and forth and more crooning to indicate that they're a rather small flock, but since Dotty is the fearless leader, they are all safe. Does the warm thing have a flock too? Flocks are good, but so is being a brave and lonely hunter!]

[Nevermind the human giggling quietly in the background, he's very fond of his most eccentric pokémon's antics.]

[tm50]

[Bertholdts almost certain the human is Enlightened. He must have a permit to be outside the city looking for more Pokemon to bound with most likely. He thinks about reviling his shifter form for a moment before his Magby returns from her barry hunt.] Magby?

[She's shocked to find Bertholdt with others, wary of the human but if her partner is at ease she feels comfortable being so as well. That lax nature coming in handy sometimes.. waving sweetly.

Bertholdt helps her separate the barry types, showing obvious signs of human-like intelligence for Cyndaquil are normally not this talented with their hands, picking up everything no problem and knowing just want each Pokemon would like. He offers Dotty ones most suitable for flying types.] Quil!

Augh touchscreen stahp

[While not exactly possessed of a permit as such, it is true that Fai is eager to make friends with a lot of pokémon. That being said... well firstly, this is Dotty making a new friend, it would be incredibly rude to just butt in. And secondly, what he's interested in more than anything is observing]

Ah, that's amazing. Is that another breed of Cyndaquill that has achieved a higher dexterity, maybe? Or... I guess they could be a Shifter, but most Shifters would've revealed themselves by now, huh? Oh, maybe they've gotten uncommonly old without evolving, and gotten better with time, learning to work with a Magby. Or maybe there's some completely different reason...

[Prattle prattle prattle. Meanwhile, Dotty isn't that interested in the hatchling making noises because look, a new friend, also BERRIES! Both the Cyndaquill and the Magby are clearly gentlepokémon and scholars, and he doesn't hesitate in telling them so. Dotty, don't speak with you mouth full, that's rude.]

[tm50]

( ooc; I think a good way for Fai to find out Bertholdt's a shifter would be for another Pokemon to try and attack them. Bertholdt could play defender and when any attempts of bonding with him might happen he could change back and ruin the party. How does that sound? )

[/SWEATS, NO SHIFTER HERE NOPE.

Bertholdt of course grows nervous, he's not sure what to say or do about his observer.. but he knows he'd rather not stick around to let them find out more. He motions to Magbey that I'll be soon time to leave the Enlightened and his lovely Pokemon. Giving Dotty a few more barriers before scouting out a safe direction -- or at least one that smells safe.]
