1st Resonance ♙ Action;

[tracedarte]

Ugh, this sucks. Why do I have to patrol? It's so early...

[About 11AM, there's a long haired boy in a Swords of the Savior uniform walking around one of the more populated parks. There's really no telling why they've let him wear his hair down, all that red flying everywhere. At least the flower petals and stuff have gone, that was annoying. He kicks a nearby rock in irritation before flopping down on a bench, not noticing the lady nearby who'd been walking towards it to sit with her baby... He doesn't even notice her huff and walk off. There's an Eevee in a cute sweater that's been trying to keep up with the seventeen year old, who finally jumps up onto the remaining space next to Luke and chimes in with a squeaky little 'Vee!' Luke groans.]

Don't add to it, Thing. You're so annoying!

[He tries to shove Mieu off the bench, but he just curls up under Luke's arm instead and he gives a dramatic sigh. His life is horrible.]

I should just go home already. Dad's probably at work, I could get away with it...

Don't you dare think about leaving! [Another equally red-haired boy stands in front of him. Whow, talk about a double take, they look so alike! Also dressed in a Swords uniform.. they must be on patrol together..] You're on shift, my shift, it's my job to keep you in line.

[Pointing to himself harder each time he said the word 'my', what a fiery young-man.. It seems Asch hadn't noticed the woman in need of sitting space either so perhaps they where both obvious.] Just sit there if you're going to be worthless.

[tracedarte]

Hey, don't call me worthless when you're just standing around too.

[Luke grumbles, crossing his arms and not looking at his twin.]

I don't get why we have to be on the same patrol team, I wanna be as far away from you as possible.

[albertstyle]

It's probably because you're so annoying no one wants to put up with you! [... Not Asch though, he's perfect.] That's why I get thrown at you because I'm your brother!

[That's how it always goes, Asch always has to babysit Luke (..if Guy isn't babysitting both of them.)] -And I am working.

[tracedarte]

[He gets up finally, in Asch's face. Mieu whines, dropping down to the ground to paw at their legs to try and get them to stop please!]

You're the annoying one, asshole! They probably throw us together so no one else gets confused when they think it's me and you're nasty to them!

[albertstyle]

[Take a SHOVE! Such wonderful displace for the Swords in public.. ever seen two copes beating the shit out of each other?]

Get OUT of my face, I swear on the savior, I will end you.

[tracedarte]

[They're truly living up to their family name.]

[Luke shoves him back just as hard, glaring at his twin.]

Don't touch me!

*display, holy shit why didn't you tell me????

[albertstyle]

[Take another shove! Fuck you!]

You don't touch me!

[bejustorbedead]

[Oh whoops, there comes one of the senior officers - where did he come from?!]

I wouldn't skip out on patrol if I were you.

[tracedarte]

[Gack! Mieu, why didn't you warn him...? Luke doesn't even move to get up though, brows furrowing. Where does this guy get off yelling at him? This isn't even his patrol area...! Don't tell him he was on break... and came to check up on him? Ugh!]

There's nothing to patrol. It's just dumb kids and baby Pokemon around, what are they gonna do?

[bejustorbedead]

[He folds his arms across his chest, giving a very low sigh. Ky knows the von Fabre twins were new, so Ky is trying to show some restraint]

Don't get complacent, you've seen how the city was for the last week.

[The man started to head back to his route]

The rookie's beats are rarely exciting, but you have to show you have good work ethic if you want to go to the rougher streets.

[tracedarte]

Like I'd want to slum it up downtown anyway... that sounds even worse.

[He rolls his eyes when the man walks away. Of course he can't do anything about Luke, he's a Fabre. His family practically owns the council.]

And last week was awful! Why didn't we just get rid of those Pokemon? I had pollen in my hair for weeks...

[bejustorbedead]

[Ky stops, and glances back at Luke - trying to keep his expression neutral]

First, simple logistics - the manpower required would have effectively shut down the city, including hair salons. Secondly, they were pests, but they weren't harming anyone.

[Though they were ready in case it was an actual problem]

[tracedarte]

How can a bunch of dumb flower Pokemon shut down a city? That doesn't make sense.

[At least Ky's gotten Luke to stand up again... he looks annoyed still.]

They were bad for people with allergies...

[unreined]

[Yeahhhh, you know that rock you just kicked? It flies through the air and bonks a certain Pokemon on the head, waking her from a late-morning nap on the grass.]

[Her eyes zero in on Luke and she storms over.]

Oi. You trying to start something, human?

unsure if she's in pokemon form or not.... sorry if this is wrong!

[tracedarte]

Huh?

[Luke doesn't see Absol at first, but his Eevee does! Mieu jumps down from the bench to try and placate her.]

{M-master wasn't paying attention! He didn't mean to!}

NP! Human Form unless otherwise stated! I do have a Pokemon Form icon for her too.

[unreined]

"Master"? This jerk? [Have a "not impressed" face.]

okay! just making sure :3

[tracedarte]

{He's really nice! Sometimes, I think....?}

[Mieu you sound so sure... Luke finally notices the weird girl, rubbing the back of his head.]

Who're you calling a jerk?

It's cool!

[unreined]

The jerk who hit me with a rock, jerk.

[tracedarte]

It was an accident, get over it. People kick rocks.

action; evening, fabre residence

[antiseptic]

[After an absolutely fascinating afternoon at the park, Jade makes his way over to the Fabre residence, dressed as always in his Ranger uniform. It had been awhile since his last appointment with the twins, but their father had been insistent on it, especially now that they're in the Swords.]

[Jade, for his part, considers it a waste of time. But he also knows the value of keeping allies, and in the end it's only a minor convenience, so he comes when his presence is requested.]

[When he arrives at the manor, he's shown to the usual room their interviews take place in. Not much had changed since his last visit a few months ago. He chooses to remain standing as he waits for the twins to arrive, hands clasped behind his back in a posture that spoke of discipline and formality.]

jade > luke > asch?

[tracedarte]

[This was stupid, and it had been stupid from the very beginning. Ever since they were little, the twins had been looked over and after by doctors and specialists, the Fabres wanting their miracle twins to awaken as Enlightened as soon as possible. Between Luke's childhood sickness and the poking and prodding by nurses an doctors, he hated everything about it.]

[Mr Curtis was only a researcher, but the process was still the same. He took as long as possible to get ready after "working" all day in his Swords uniform, having a maid brush out his long hair and press his clothes before he finally got up to meet with the other. Asch was probably there already, his brother not as adverse to all of this as he was.]

Let's just get this over with.

[He doesn't even look at Jade, flopping down on an arm chair in the room and waiting.]

[albertstyle]

[You're right, Luke, Asch is already here. Both he and Jade have been waiting for you but, you know, take your sweet time. Asch simply loves sitting with Mr. Curtiss for ungodly amounts of time while you get pampered (which, by the way, could have waited till after their-- whatever this is, check up? That makes it sound ridiculous.)

Normally, not the same tier of shit-starter like his brother but he wasn't about to pass up being comfy if Luke was, putting his feet up on their nice long table and landing back in the chair. The maids will get the mess from his shoes, it's not like anyone (with class) eats on a meeting table.]

So nice of you to finally show up, Luke.

[Arms crossed, thankfully you can't see his wounds from today under his clothing but the one over Luke's face made his sides ache.. Asshole, punching him in the stomach..]

[antiseptic]

[If Jade is bothered by Luke's tardiness, he doesn't show it. It's with his usual bland smile firmly in place that he turns to look at the young noble.]

I see you're both excited for this. Shall we begin?

[He doesn't wait for a reply before he continues.]

How are you two enjoying the Swords?

[tracedarte]

[He shoves at Asch to put his feet up too, crossing his arms up behind his head.]

I hate it. All we do is wander around town, and we can't even get anything to eat when we're hungry.

[He'll continue to complain, as Mieu jumps up from the floor to the couch to sit in his lap. He gets shoved off onto Asch's though and the Eevee looks up at him sadly, wondering if he can chill here with you guys.......]

[albertstyle]

[He can't chill here! This isn't Asch's Eevee, his Eevee is already snuggled up in his work jacket like a good boy. Fuck off- pushing it away. Next time it'll be by the tuft of fur, don't try him.]

You're so worthless. [Commenting to his brother before facing Jade.] I'm doing just fine, though I don't feel I should be starting out on the bottom. Most of these idiots don't have the training I've had.

[Stop shoving, asswhip! Don't kick him with those dirt covered boots, god damn animal.]
