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. )

Comments

[sturzflug]

Yeah, well maybe if you didn't run the second you saw me, you woulda noticed.

[ Jean sighs, resting his hands on his hips. Now Volbeat is probably gonna be mad that they got distracted over this. ]

So you're a shifter too, huh? Quit lookin' at me like I'm some kinda poacher. I ain't gonna hurt you.

[tm50]

[What a rude young man, Bertholdt has no comment as usual. With humans he finds ignorant, loud, or obnoxious it's always best just to say as little to them as posibale. They are the types to get board quickly..]

I'm sorry... [-Sorry that he didn't outrun Jean.]

Yes, I am.. Are their other shifters you know? [There is the other guardsmen which is the most likely choice of Jean's topic.]

[sturzflug]

Yeah, Eren. You know 'im? He turns into a skarmory.

[ Jean could whine about Eren for hours. He snickers. ]

He can't really fly, though. It's pretty funny.

[tm50]

I know Eren....

[He knows both of you, actually. Not personally, but anyone that comes off as Enlightened always catches Bertholdt attention. Not that he'd have the backbone to speak with them.]

Perhaps he's to fond of his nest, ah.. [You know, like a real pokemon..

He knows his conversation skills aren't great..]

[sturzflug]

Nah, I think he just never learned. I mean, my wings are useless-- even if they grew to full size I wouldn't know what to do with 'em, anyway.

[ Congratulation, Bertl. You're pathetic enough that Jean isn't afraid fo you making fun of his wings. ]

[tm50]

No... human beings can't fly. [Because their SHIT.]

It's just strange to think he's never learned, did he only just resonantly discover his Enlightenedhood? [Shifters? Pokemon? Talking about the subject?! That's all he really cares about, not that this doesn't make this strange scenario any less uncomfortable for Jean. Bertholdt's just used to always being cornered, this is nothing.]

[sturzflug]

Hey, shut up. You don't know that. Someday I might be able to-- and you're gonna eat those words!

[ Jean doesn't normally insist he'll be able to fly with his buttwings, but when he does, it's to prove people wrong. ]

I think it was like... a year a go? A little more? Point is nobody ever taught him how to fly. Plus he's like, metal. He 'glides' like a brick with wings.

[tm50]

[wowowowowoowow these humans know nothing about Pokemon nor how they work nor how they work Bertholdt is going to clam up now.]

... [He says nothing about Jean's buttwigs, even if the idea of them supporting Jean's fleshy vidercal body was ridiculous.]

S-Skarmory... I'm pretty sure.. teach their young to fly in special ways while their wings are softer as hatchlings. When their wings grow strong and thick like blades they understand the technique and glide in their own way.. No other bird can teach a Skarmory to fly..

[sturzflug]

[ You're gonna eat those words one day, Berrl. ]

Well... guess that's news for Jaeger. Heh, he's gonna be stuck gliding forever.

[ The thought amuses Jean a lot. ]

[tm50]

[Maybe he will and maybe he wont, Jean]

...Maybe.

[IT'S A LITTLE FUNNY TO BERTHOLDT AS WELL... maybe if Skarmory where more common in this area.]

I'm sorry for running.. again ah.. What are you doing doing here?

[sturzflug]

Nah, that's fine. I was just hangin' out with Volbeat. He wanted to pick some berries-- dude's kinda obsessed.

[ Volbeat very pointedly pokes Jean in the head for that. ] Ow, hey! It's true!

[tm50]

..There is a wonderful helping of berries on the higher evaluations of this mountain.. The Pokemon that climb these ranges rarely eat them and thankfully their is a walking path..

[He can't help but tip the other Pokemon, not so much Jean..]
