Log:

[After spending the first few weeks roughing it out in the wilderness, getting lost in caves, having to cash in a favor from Seigaku's Fuji to get his Fly HM, and being bossed around into giving everyone free rides, the current regulars of Hyoutei have finally reached their goal: Goldenrod. Sure, they didn't really have a good reason for converging there in the first place, beyond hopes of leaching off of Oshitari some more and finally being able to pick up some tennis equipment, but screw it. It's not like anyone else had proposed a better plan.

So behold, Goldenrod, your new residents; some of them worse for wear due to sudden bears in dark places, some of them cranky for having to travel by Pokémon and not private jet, and some of them actually reasonably normal. And don't mind the chanting, it's instinctive.]

[ Rise either has Roommate Senses or Cute Boy Senses (because she hasn't developed Tennis Senses yet), because it's really not all that long before any one of them may see a pigtailed idol heading their way.

Not at a leisurely pace, either.

Nope, pretty sure she's trotting.

And waving an arm over her head with the world's most exuberant smile.

Now would probably be a good time to brace yourselves, unless you think you can handle idol hugs, because NO ONE WILL BE SPARED. ]

You made it!

[usedscudserve.livejournal.com]

[Choutarou turns to the source of the voice as Rise calls out, and his tired smile morphs into something much more genuinely happy. it's nice to see a friendly face, after spending several hours together with your grumpy teammates who probably bitched to each other back and forth the whole goddamn time]

—Rise-san! It's good to finally see you in person!

[... nope, he's not expecting an idol hug at all. GO GET 'EM WHILE HE'S STILL UNSUSPECTING]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ she falters slightly, once she actually realizes JUST HOW TALL Choutarou is, coupled with the fact that he's... that much younger.

... Three years?

AND HE'S TALLER THAN KANJI??

... Oh, well, this isn't going to thwart her for more than the breadth of a second before she goes in for a warm hug. ]

It's great to see you, too! How was it, Choutarou?

[usedscudserve.livejournal.com]

[he notices that very slight falter! but it's not like he's not used to it, because he is. heck, it's pretty much the standard reaction from someone who sees how tall he actually is for the first time—not that he's particularly bothered by it or anything.

—and he is surprised by the hug and, for a second or two, doesn't really do anything but stand there (guess who doesn't get hugged very often by other people, guess). but then common sense starts reeling and his oh, someone is hugging me senses go off as he returns the hug with a smile, unconsciously lifting Rise slightly off her feet]

It was a little tiring! It's good to finally be back on solid ground again.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ hugging she's used to. Hugging that removes her from the ground, not so much, so she's very momentarily caught off-guard before she laughs and goes with it. ]

I bet! Long flights really aren't my thing, either.

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[Oshitari will be taking an extra minute here to fuss with his Altaria, because poor thing is really pretty tired after ferrying so many people all the way back to Goldenrod, but he smiles when he spots Rise.]

We're back~

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ well then, Yuushi is her second victim target. From the way she brightens just at being addressed, it's clear she's missed him, and here she comes for a hug. ]

Welcome back! Did you have fun?

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[WHOO IDOLHUGS he is okay with this.]

"Fun" would be one word for it, I suppose...

[restardom.livejournal.com]

"Interesting" another one?

[Gakuto was minding his own business, exploring Goldenrod like he'd just bought it when he felt something in his backpack move. Annoyed, he initially wrote it off as just the contents in it resettling; though packing light was practically a policy of his, he'd made an exception for the eggs he'd ordered from the Breeding Centre. Not wanting to risk anything happening to them, he'd resigned himself to being weighed down for their safety and gently packed them in his backpack for safe-keeping, not letting it out of his sight or off his person if he could help it.

It was a sacrifice he was growing increasingly pissed about as each day passed.

The second time his backpack moved, mere seconds later, he'd about had it with these goddamn eggs. Babysitting was bad enough, but no one mentioned they'd move around or anything like that! Checking the bag to see who the offending egg was, his eyes widened at the crack that had formed along its shell, close to the blue writing he'd scribbled on it in marker for identification.

With the ease of practice he had his Pokegear out and a text message scribed in seconds, frantically hitting the send button as if his life depened on it.]

[ it's a little later when she approaches Gakuto-- not because Rise hadn't wanted to see him, but because she'd had to run back to the house to grab something. She's feeling playful enough to forgo the tackle of greeting, and settles for lightly tapping his shoulder from behind. ]

Am I fashionably late enough?

[action]

[dirtytalker.livejournal.com]

[Hey, he's cool with doing it from behind Gakuto wasn't expecting such a sneaky, subdued entrance from Rise, so the tapping came as a surprise. Turning around, he's prepared to snub whoever dared to waste his time until he sees who the perpetrator is, his expression lighting up immediately.]

Late enough that I almost thought you'd forgotten about me, Rise-chan; I was about ready to give up on you.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Aww, really? [ she does like her pouts. ] Well, if I'm too late, I guess I can go hug someone else--

[action]

[dirtytalker.livejournal.com]

[He 'thinks' about it, giving her a quick look-over that's only half in jest. Not bad~]

Hmm... For you, I'll make an exception, especially if there's a hug in it for me.

[superrising.livejournal.com]

[... Is that some Hyoutei players he's spotting?

He was actually just headed out for some training, since he wanted to make sure his pokémon would be ready for the eventual gym battle, so seeing them all kind of halted him in his tracks.

... Yep, Hyoutei. Why do they look so harassed?]

Welcome back...?

[usedscudserve.livejournal.com]

Ah—Fuji-kun! I didn't know you were here too.

[superrising.livejournal.com]

Hey, Choutarou. I've been in Goldenrod for a while, actually.

Did you guys just get here?

[usedscudserve.livejournal.com]

[nods] Hiyoshi and I met up with our senpai and we all flew here from Violet City.

[reveiller]

[perched on a lamppost--]

Ah, here comes the Hyoutei express.

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[why are you on a lamppost, Fuji, this isn't X]

We have returned from the faraway land of Violet City~

[reveiller]

[are you sure this isn't X]

And I see that you've brought me souvenirs.

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[pretty sure X didn't have Pokemon]

Hmmm, did we?
