[Normally Noire shows up looking depressed, scared, fatigued, and forlorn. Today, she's... depressed, scared, fatigued, and forlorn, and now you can add in really, really confused to the mix. Judging from her surroundings, she appears to be hiding in an alleyway, hugging two things - her Murkrow, and a Luvdisc plush. Remember what those do?]

E-excuse me... I'm sorry to bother you all, but, um, I've been having a strange couple of days. I don't know what's going on... Have I finally blossomed into womanhood, or have all the men here have gotten extremely desperate? ... E-either way! All the people pursuing me... I-It's very kind of you, but I don't think I should be taking up a relationship right this moment!

I mean, maybe, someday, I might want to, b-but right now is a really bad time! So... please take that into consideration... 

[She sighs, not realizing the luvdisc plush has winked again.]

ACTION

Destiny, use Haze!

[Murkrow crows, letting out a distinct fog that should hopefully be enough cover for now. Using this chance, Noire and Destiny the bird Pokemon run into the nearest building - it may be your house, your place of business, etc, but she's there now, the door slamming behind her as she catches her breath. Is she finally safe? ... Well, guess what she still has in her arms.]

[She seems to hone in on the word 'Ranger', but otherwise politely keeps quiet until she is asked.]

... We're not from Union, really... It's kind of a long story, but this is our home now.

[rainsrespite]

[Yuuna's eyebrow lifts slightly.]

Fair enough. Been here long? And what're you doing now? Aside from avoiding suitors, anyway.

[blood_and_thunder]

I've been trying to find a suitable place... Somewhere I can be of most help to Union. So I've been volunteering everywhere... the hospital, the Rangers... I also do some spiritual meditation in Ninetales Valley.

[rainsrespite]

All good places to work. I trained as a medic myself, but ended up in the Rangers. We're always looking for good hands, and so is the medical center. I don't actually know much about Ninetales Vale, though. I've got friends there, but I'm not too good with spiritualism.

[blood_and_thunder]

Me neither, to be honest... My mother was excellent at channeling spirits and casting curses, but I was never able to do anything. I've been hoping that by working in the valley, some of my ability from her would wake up, but so far its been hopeless.

[rainsrespite]

Well, it's certainly possible that'll happen. But what are you good at? What skills do you have?

[blood_and_thunder]

... I'm all right with a bow and arrow. And... I really enjoy training Pokemon.

[rainsrespite]

Well, I won't give you the recruitment speech, but I've been a Ranger for a few months now. It's been good for me, and I'd be happy to take you out sometime, if you want to see what it's like.

[A laugh.]

It's kinda boring most days though.

[blood_and_thunder]

But boring means peace... Usually.

I'll... think about it.

[rainsrespite]

Up to you, sweetie.

[She finally takes her hand off the Murkrow and reaches down to pick up the little Ralts that was tugging at her pants leg.]

What types of Pokemon do you work with, besides Murkrows? D'you have a specialty?

[blood_and_thunder]

[Fortunately, Destiny has started to snooze off...]

... Dark, and Ghost. I seem to get along with them better. My other Pokemon friends... they're a Leipard, and Duskull. We've been together a long time.

[rainsrespite]

[Yuuna smiles at that, running a hand along Ralt's little helmet. Kokishi seems pleased, wiggling stubby arms.]

Sort of my opposite then. I mostly train Fighting types, though...recently dragons have started following me home.

[She taps on her wiggling bundle's head.]

And this guy will be a Gallade soon enough.

[blood_and_thunder]

I think I'd rather have dragons following me than men... But your Pokemon are very impressive. I can tell they were raised well.

[rainsrespite]

Maybe when you get older...[Yuuna chuckles.]

And thanks. These two are my newest friends. Kokishi hatched a couple of weeks ago, actually. The egg was sort of a Salvation gift from a student.
