Ain't no party like a ninja party

[usedswift]

Who: open to literally anyone in Blackthorn City who wanders into the ninja party + friends
Where: Blackthorn City (mainly hotsprings but also anywhere)
When: July 23rd
Summary: Sasuke gets a birthday party whether he wants one or not. Lucky for him, he has friends (in spite of his best efforts) who'll plan one.
Rating: G? PG for violence

[ooc; general mingle log for Blackthorn City/Sasuke's birthday. Most of it will probably take place at the hotsprings itself, though like the 'who' says, it's completely open to anyone just walking by and wondering what the big deal is, or someone who's already there and then has their pleasant soak interrupted by a bunch of dumb ninjas.]

They're that high when you catch 'em?

[Woah, that would really help a lot. Naruto's eyes are still focused on the Pokemon when he answers.]

Yeah, Dratini, that's it! I got an egg off Obito the other month, I haven't levelled it much though it's still only level ten or something right now..

[usedswift]

Not around here I don't think. I caught Zhu down in the Seafoam Islands, after that one week of weird travel.

[At the mention of Dratini, Zhu lets out a curious noise, slithering forward a bit to look the older trainer in the eye.]

Don't mind him, he's kind of nosy. You should definitely level them, though, they're really great.

[And, save for Gyarados and Milotic, the most dragon-looking of all of them!]

[believeit]

It's okay, I get it. They're sorta weird, the one I've got is super noisy all the time. [In fact, its name is now simply 'Noisy'.]

You should come too! Or are you going somewhere else after the party?

[usedswift]

Weird? I think they're wonderful.

[She reaches up to grab hold of the Dragonair's nose, tugging him in to hug his head against her chest. If that's not an odd sight...]

Maybe I'll come, but I've got to hit Kanto to grab more badges before I start exploring for pleasure. [She pulls a hand away to clench it into a determined fist.] Sasuke won't know what hit him, once he lets me challenge him.

[believeit]

[Oh look the topic shifts to Sasuke how about that.]

You're gonna challenge Sasuke, huh. Is he going with you?

[usedswift]

[How about that...]

Technically he challenged me first. We made a deal, back when I first got here. Once we both got all the badges, we'd face off and prove who was the better Pokémon trainer.

...I'd like it if he went with me, but probably not. I already cleared all of Johto, and I know he still has a ways to go. I'm ahead of him right now, and I want to keep it that way.

[believeit]

[He's listening, but. He doesn't care about it too much? Something else is on his mind.]

D'you still like him? [He remembers that call with Yumi.]

[usedswift]

Wha--?

[usedswift]

[She'd kind of hoped he'd forgotten. She rests a hand on her hip and frowns defiantly.]

So what if I do? Doesn't mean I'll go easy on him.

[believeit]

[He thought so.]

I didn't saw you would. I was just wonderin'. Don't worry, I won't tell him or anything y'know.

[usedswift]

Maybe I'll tell him.

[She has a plan.]

You know him better than anyone, right? So do you think...?

[believeit]

[Woah suddenly in the spotlight. He does know him better than anyone, but at the same time, he doesn't really know him well at all? That's Sasuke for you.

One thing he can say, though.]

You should tell him. I mean, he already likes you as a friend and such, and that's already a lot coming from Sasuke y'know? If he doesn't like it, then he's gotta be crazy. And a super-jerk.

[usedswift]

[She can't help but laugh a little as she glances toward him.]

It's just that simple, huh...?
