CASTELIA CITY

[paradisamods]

[Not long after sunrise, the ship docks in a large harbor on the edge of a great city.

Welcome to Castelia City!



Tall buildings tower over the landscape, and people crowd the streets as they make their way toward their destination. There are seldom any cars in the crowded streets, as many prefer to travel by bike or by foot, or public transit.

It seems the ship has arrived just as the city is waking up to start its day. With a city this big, one might need the whole day just to explore it.

The ship's crew thanks everyone for sailing with them, as it has been their pleasure. They certainly hope their sea-faring friends will enjoy themselves in the city.

With so much to explore, what will you do next?]


(ooc: The Pokémon plot has begun! Have fun and as always, thread-jacking is welcomed and highly encouraged!

[doublethefun]

[jerking her head up in surprise and staring at this newcomer a bit suspiciously]

I am a pony. [probably not the most useful answer you've heard. Then again, she has no idea what a Rapidash is.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Whatever disappointment he felt at the bespectacled man's words was quickly pushed back by curiosity at this "pony."]

You'll have to forgive me, I don't come from a place that has anything like ponies.

[This wasn't a strictly true statement. A unicorn and Pegasus both existed in the world he'd come from, but as he never got to see them he remained oblivious.

Baron Samedi meanwhile simply stares at the newly named Dist, possibly contemplating if it were food.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade watched the pony and Dhaos converse as Dist stared back at Baron, trilling happily and wiggling it's little arms at it. So long as Jade has it, it seems overjoyed to be alive.]

[doublethefun]

[glancing a bit at Jade, and then looking back at Dhaos.]

I am currently in the form of one of this world's creatures; I do not typically appear like this.

[fistfullofmagic]

I see. What do ponies normally look like?

[Seems you've captured his scholarly interest, eh Luna? Or maybe the ever-curious inner child. Regardless.

Meanwhile, the Baron, eye fixed on Dist, slowly brings his little arm forward to point at the little egg-creature.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[To which the egg creature replied by waving it's arms a bit towards Dhaos' Pokemon.

Jade has no idea what's going on with Dist or the conversation. This crazy man at least appears to be talking to Luna, but Jade can't hear her side of the conversation.

This new place is certainly frustrating. His journal hasn't dried out and he can't keep writing with fonons forever.]

[doublethefun]

Ponies are typically smaller than I am currently and have hair for a mane and tail. The overall body form is similar, however.

[not particularly in the mood for this, so she keeps her explanation brief.

She nickers at Jade, still trying to find out what the egg thing is.]

[fistfullofmagic]

I suppose I'll just have to wait until everything is back to...whatever passes for normal in this place. I'm sure you're even more beautiful in your true form.

[He then notices Baron Samedi is pointing at Dist.]

No, you're not allowed to eat it. We went over this before: no eating it if it belongs to someone else. [He looks at Jade.] I apologize for leaving you out of the conversation sir. I'm...not quite myself at the moment.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade blinks and looks to Luna, confused. She hasn't spoken, so he's not sure what she wants. The small egg, upon hearing something about eating it, immediately begins to cry and attempt to tunnel into Jade's uniform, causing the man to try to pull it away and stop it's crying simultaneously.

He's failing.

How do you shot children.]

[doublethefun]

[wow, Jade. You suck as a father.

She gives him a pointed look, glances at the baby, and then back at him. Hug it, Jade!]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Dhaos' face goes blank as the baby cries. On an instinctual level he wants nothing more than to quiet the child or at least cover his ears. Neither are really an option as covering his ears would require letting go of Samedi - not the best plan, considering - and he's had next to no experience with small creatures of this age. Thus all he can do is stand there awkwardly, feeling decidedly unhelpful.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade has no idea what you're supposed to do with it, but he hugs it and the small animal clings to Jade. After a bit of attempted shushing and keeping it hugged, it finally quiets down, messing with one of the shiny buttons of Jade's uniform. After a few seconds it's completely fine as if the problem never occurred, happily making little noises.]

[doublethefun]

[oh good. Her ears unpin from against her skull when the baby stopped crying.

Have an appreciative nicker, Jade.]
