A Rest In Olivine

Who: Steve, Tony, Thor, Imogen, Danny, and anyone else in Olivine that wants to pop in.
Where: Olivine
When: May 2nd til we decide to leave
Summary: The AvengerBros and Imogen arrive in Olivine and plan to stick around a while, and stay with Danny.
Rating: PG to be safe, but if it goes beyond that, it will be noted.
Log:
Olivine is full of food and wine and good times, it's a lovely city right on the water. It's considered a romantic city, probably because of the good date spots, wine, and the water.

Have at it guys, put up some threads, have people reply, and good times! Only planned things happening during their time here is Danny meetIng the superheroes, otherwise the freedom is yours.

Jobs at a lighthouse is considered normal for you, then? [Just a hint of teasing, but he's genuinely curious. Cultures and whatnot from other worlds have always been a point of interest.]

[chuckles] Not really. Back home it's a job that someone takes on and has for most of their life, usually they live there or by it.

So it's a life-time commitment then? [He can see that happening.]

It must be interesting to you that that kind of work over here is only part-time.

Yeah, it's not something I ever considered for my future, but hey, if I can work there for a short while, that would be swell.

Where are you off to next?

You'll enjoy being with Amphy if you choose one particular job. [Hope's only preference in jobs is being able to interact with Pokémon, after all.]

Right now, I'm not sure where we're going, but I may suggest Kanto, because we have been all over Johto at this point.

Well, working that job sounds fun, and I look forward to meeting Amphy, that's for sure.

I'm still exploring Johto myself, but Kanto sounds interesting from what I hear from some people I know over there. Have you been there yet or a new adventure?

Kanto will be new to me, definitely. [There's a long story, but he would rather not tell it now.] A few friends of mine currently live there, but considering my companion had been in Johto when I arrived, I stayed here.

Better reason than me. I just didn't want to spend that much money for the ferry when I didn't have much to start with. [grins sheepishly at that, as if it's something to be incrementally embarrassed about]

I can understand wanting to save your money for a rainy day.

[He understands more than he's saying-- he used to be a rich boy after all.] It will be far cheaper than the train though. I may just suggest it when we do decide to go there.

[Steve is glad he's not dealing with someone who would think him as cheap. He grew up in a time when a dollar was powerful and economics poor, he's not used to how willy nilly people are about money, so he sees saving money as practical]

There's a train? I didn't know that, where's it blow through?

['Blow through'? Strange phrasing, even if Hope figures out what exactly Steve means.] It goes from Goldenrod to Saffron, and I hear it's a luxury one at that.

I suppose it can tell you about just how expensive it is.

[Last time he'd gotten on a train, people died. He'll pass on that one.]

[funny that, last time Steve was on a legit train his best friend died. He's still deciding how he feels about them]

Huh. Yeah, not sure if I'm big on riding trains these days, but ferry sounds nice and scenic.

Same here. There's something less rushed about being on a boat. [Well, at least there's someone who shares his discomfort with trains.

He points towards the docks.] There's a ferry here if you want to experience one. It bounces between just Olivine and Cianwood though, but you can see the Whirl Islands if you're looking for them.

[looks where Hope points and nods] I'll give it a go, kind of curious about Cianwood. [gives him a smile] There is something nice about boat rides, especially to relax and draw the scenery.

You draw? [Hope's not an art man, but it's not like he doesn't give artists their due. Especially when architects and engineers can only do so much for a project's design.]

I do. Before my life turned upside down, then flipped again, then ended up here, I went to school for art.

[His line actually makes it sound like there's a story there, a long and convoluted one at that, but he's not going to pry right now. Otherwise, Hope would have to offer his own long and convoluted story to keep things even between them, and that's something he'd rather not share.]

Education. I see.

I've always been more accomplished in the technical fields-- I don't have even a bit of artistry.

[Naw, Steve would never expect a story in return, but yeah Steve isn't ready to actually talk about it all yet]

What kind of technical fields? A teammate of mine is an engineer, kind of a scientist and mechanic too.

[... Fancy that. Someone else with multiple specializations in this place.]

All of the above, actually, with some archaeology and programming as well.

I should introduce you to Tony. He's invented some pretty amazing technologies and a... uh an artificial intelligence.

Though, he can be hard to get along with, but... well he got along pretty fast with another scientist I know, so you never know I guess.

[That's one way to please your local engineer: Introduce him to another science geek. And Hope is very pleased.]

I would love that. Very, very much.

Bet he would like it a lot too. He hates being so removed from his technology and is stuck traveling with two people who are technology stupid.

[Well, Steve isn't stupid about it, he's just out of date and not a science/engineer geek like that]

[Oh my Etro he kinda feels bad for a fellow geek now.]

Ah, well then-- I cant blame him. We tend to be an insufferable kind of person when we're talking in the proper common language and no one understands.

[Just. AI. Artificial intelligence. Huuuuuuumina.]

[Steve smiles some, remembering how Tony reacted to Bruce talking his non-English]

Yeah, he'll definitely be happy to meet you. It's been a while since he's not had to translate for Thor and myself.

[Steve you're like the best non-science friend a geek can ever have. HOPE LOVES YOU NOW.]

I would gladly translate for you though, don't worry. [If he ever... gets his brain out of SCIENCE TIME.]
