[all_onis_are_true]

[There seems to be a bit of a scene in front of the Pokemon Habitat today. Some other teens seem to be accosting another one, who is standing with a stony expression on his face. If you move closer to the group, you might overhear the conversation; they're not exactly quiet about it.

"Hey, we should contact the authorities. Some idiot let the Murder Nerd have Pokemon, ha ha."

"Hey little Axew, how about you come be my Pokemon instead? You'll live longer. Ha ha ha ha.

Man, where'd you get this Smeargle? It's WAY too cool looking for you -- hey, the little bastard just ruined my shirt! Lousy --"

You might know the one standing by saying nothing, although he does seem to stand up for his own Pokemon here and there. When people say terrible things to HIM, however, he shuts up for some reason. Is this something you even want to get in the middle of?]

"Super" aggro, huh? Sounds rough.

[How can this guy be so casual about someone he is or isn't sure is a murderer? Hiroshi doesn't get him.]

[niepokonany]

Oh my gods, you have no idea, it was super rough! But like, I got out, so whatever, I guess.

[Well, if you're trying to murder someone, then we'll have a problem, but Feliks isn't too worked up.]

[all_onis_are_true]

I suppose you would have gotten out if you're here. Was the Pokemon really that dangerous? And... where was this, anyway?

[niepokonany]

Oh, there are like, these ruins out in the swamps? They kinda didn't seem like they wanted humans to come bug them, though.

And they decided not to eat me, so could have been worse.

[all_onis_are_true]

[You have NO idea how hard Hiroshi is trying not to be triggered right now.]

That is certainly true, yes.

[niepokonany]

Right? Like a couple of people were--

[Jadwiga interrupts Feliks's unfortunately directed stream of consciousness babbling to inform him that he's upsetting someone and should stop. He stops, looking at Hiroshi in confusion.]

...What's up?

[all_onis_are_true]

Ah, if it is not too much trouble, could we maybe... change the subject? I am still relatively new to being a Trainer and I think I'd like to discuss less troubling subjects.

[Or ones that hit so blatantly close to home.]

[niepokonany]

Oh, sure, no big! Huh...


[What's less troubling, though? What does he talk about with the few friends he has?]

...So, wanna go shopping?

[all_onis_are_true]

[Is this guy for real?]

I appreciate the offer, but I am actually looking to meet up with somebody here. Perhaps some other time?

[niepokonany]

Oh.

...Okay, so I'll catch you you later, then!

[He leaves the same way he arrived: without warning, and rather awkwardly.]

[all_onis_are_true]

[...Well that was weird. At least the bullies got off his back.]
