Log:

[It is excessively cold out today with snow falling and temperatures well in the range of 'holy crap stay inside' levels, but it's going to take a lot more than some cold weather to stop one Jimmy Two-Shoes. He's arguably finding the cold a lot more intolerable than a lot of folks, owing to the dangerously high temperatures he's used to living in. Even with a thick green jacket and several fire types out, he still can't help but shiver as he walks. But today he's on a mission, so he can be found in one of two places:]

A) [The market is full of loads of things to buy for someone as a gift, but beyond that the area itself is just nice to look at. With the snow dusting every visible surface- coupled with the decorations all over- it makes for a rather pleasant scene. While shopping around Jimmy can't help but stop to just look at everything before remembering he came out here to actually buy things...only to promptly get distracted by something else a few minutes later. The Cyndaquil riding on his shoulder isn't helping matters much, tugging on Jimmy's collar to get him to slow down whenever he sees something interesting.

...And right now that interesting thing looks to be a sweets stand, so Jimmy decides to stop browsing long enough to get some hot chocolate for himself and fish a Pokepuff out of his bag for Fahren to nibble on while they walk.]

B) [A few hours later once he's gotten the things he needed, Jimmy finds a picnic table at the Goldenrod Park to set up shop. It isn't long before the entire table is covered with what looks like craft supplies- spools of string and twine, little boxes of beads made from both plastic and glass, some of them with letters or images of Pokemon. Seated next to him is a Sylveon who seems to be using her ribbons to hold up pieces of string while Jimmy threads beads onto them. His Cyndaquil sits on top of the table and a Delphox sits on the other side of the bench, both helping to sort through the boxes of beads and put them into little piles for the next piece to be made.

Anyone taking the time to watch will quickly be able to put together that Jimmy is making bracelets, and a whole lot of them by the looks of things. He's already made a few which are put neatly in a pile nearby, but judging by how much stuff there is, he plans to make quite a few. He's also wearing two on his right wrist which each bare a name and are both made entirely from glass beads, the most expensive and nice of anything he bought. The names read 'Beezy' and 'Heloise'. There are several others similar to this made with names like 'Lucius', 'Samy', 'Molotov', 'Saffi', and others. These are off to the side, not included in the growing pile to his left.]

[OOC: Jimmy's going to be making bracelets for everyone he knows, but if you don't have CR with him and want your character to have a bracelet, he would be more than happy to make them one! He has plenty of stuff to make them with, after all. They can also literally have whatever you want on them, go nuts.]

<sub>[Who needs four Christmas trees? THIS GUY.]

[Jack goes big or goes home. And right now he's tottering Jimmy's way, his view obscured by plastic pines.]</sub>

[awesmazings]

[Holy crap Jack do you really need that many trees.

Actually Jimmy is not even going to protest having this many trees, so there's no point in asking. He turns on his heel with his drink in hand, Fahren still perched on his shoulder with the end of his nose buried in a Pokepuff.]

Do you need a hand with some of those?

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[He needs EVERY TREE, Jimmy.]

[Jack's face appears between two of the trees, his glasses askew, but he manages to spot the helpful young lad.]</sub>

Yes, actually!

_{[And he just...drops the trees. All of them. Because his arms are actually looped with shopping bags and the plastic is cutting into his arms and HELP.]}

[awesmazings]

[Hang on HELP IS ON THE WAY.

Jimmy gently picks up the Cyndaquil and deposits him on top of his head before reaching down to pick up one of the trees with a grunt, getting the bulk of the trunk across his shoulder so he can lift it.]

Woah....you've sure got a lot of trees!

[quickattackjack]

_{[Now that Jimmy has one of the trees, Jack goes to work trying to figure out a better way to carry all of his shopping.]}

I need one for every room in the house! Even if it isn't a haunt in off-season, people still see the inside. Bed and breakfast and all that.

[awesmazings]

Every room, huh? Well lemme help you carry them back!

[Actually, give him a moment to turn just enough so he can manage to pull a pokeball from his belt, tossing it into the air to release a Lopunny a few feet away.]

Honey, help us out with these, okay?

[The rabbit gives a short nod, leaning down to pick up one of the trees Jack dropped.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

H-hey! Kawa, slow down....

[A possibly familiar voice rings out amidst the humdrum of the market, followed by the cry of a Pokemon that bursts from the crowd and dashes towards the food stand, a look of murder in her eyes as she stared down the sweets.

Luckily, she was followed a moment later by Veronica, who was lugging one or two bags with her.]

Kawa, wait...Oh. Uh, hey, Jimmy.

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy turns with a smile, waving a little at Veronica with his free hand.]

Oh- hi Veronica! Are you out doing some shopping too?

late like a boss

[stitchedupbodyguard]

...Jimmy? [Huh, didn't expect this. She swung her bags over her shoulder as delicately as possible, and gave him a wave.]

Y-yeah. I'm looking around for Christmas presents. [She glanced down at Kawa, who was jumping around the snack cart with the most excitement you've ever seen in a Sylveon. She wanted a snack trainer get her a snack.

Veronica looked mildly annoyed.] Kawa just wants food, I guess.

shhh its ok

[awesmazings]

Haha, I don't blame her! Weather like this makes you hungry, huh?

[He asks the Sylveon with a grin, glancing over at Fahren who gives a soft little trill of agreement.]

dishonor on me, dishonor on my cow

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Everything makes her hungry now. Since she evolved, Kawa has been eating almost nothing but Pokepuffs.

[She'd be worried for the Pokémon's health, if it looked like it was having any trouble. Who knew what was really inside those things.

Kawa jumped and twirled around Jimmy, flesh ribbons flying this way and that.]

[awesmazings]

Shauna really likes them too!

[...Shauna the Sylveon, not the girl. Though he doesn't seem to find it necessary to clarify as he continues.]

But it's prolly fine. Pokemon eat 'em all the time, don't they?

[me_first]

[Royce is walking around the market, tugging his lab coat around himself. He's also wearing his hat, but it's not helping much. He does spot Jimmy though, and raises a hand to wave at him. His Vulpix Sienna is balanced on his shoulder, and she yips in greeting.]

[awesmazings]

[God bless you and that hat, Royce. It's amazing.

That being said, Jimmy waves as well when he spots Royce approaching, lowering his cup from where he had just taken a sip of his drink.]

Hiya Royce! What brings you here?

[Besides shopping, probably.]

[me_first]

[It is the best hat.]

Ah... just... looking around. I don't have too much to spend on... this place.

[Coffee and cigarettes take a lot out of a budget, okay.]

[awesmazings]

Well, there are a whole lotta nice things to look at, that's for sure.

[He sighs, bringing his free hand down to push it into his pocket before his fingers can start to get cold again.]

Recent shows have been good, so I've got some extra money to get some Christmas presents with.

[me_first]

I see. I... tend to spend most of my money on... cigarettes.

[Giving it up isn't even an option.]

[awesmazings]

Cigarettes?

[Wait for it

wait]

What's that?

[You see someone else wouldn't ask probably, but no.

This is Jimmy.

And apparently in Hell you do not get cigarettes.]

[superordinary]

[ It's Naegi's day off today, so he decided to spend the day buying a million hoodies for his CR as presents wandering around the market and maybe sample some food along the way. When he notices Jimmy near one of the food stands, he immediately approaches. ]

Hi, Jimmy-kun!

[awesmazings]

Hi Naegi!

[Jimmy waves cheerfully when he sees Naegi come over, Fahren waving with his free paw while his other clutches the Pokepuff that Jimmy just handed to him.]

You out doing some Christmas shopping?

B!

[in_praetego]

[ It took him a while to get away from Rin because what's the point of Christmas shopping with one of the recipients in tow, right? He's all bundled up in a scarf and his coat though, on the way back home before pausing a second to watch Jimmy working on his bracelets... because that kid looked familiar.

But it suddenly dawns on him and he decides to approach with a raised hand. ]

Keeping busy, huh?

[awesmazings]

[His Delphox notices a moment before Jimmy does, waving herself with the paw that isn't clutching a few of the little beads she's been working to sort. They're working on the red ones at the moment, it seems.

Jimmy looks up then, grinning as he sees Yukio walk up.]

Sure am! Gotta if I wanna get them all done by Christmas, and all.

[in_praetego]

[ That's kinda sweet, both Jimmy and the Delphox, really. ]

Father used to say people liked handmade gifts better than those you buy from the store. It's the thought that counts... even more if you put effort into it. He always did like making Christmas special for me and Rin.

[ Give him a second to fish out a pokepuff from his bag before offering it to Jimmy's Delphox. ]

I'm sure whoever's receiving one is going to appreciate it.

[awesmazings]

[Oh! How nice. The Pokemon chirps softly in the back of her throat as she puts the beads down long enough to take the puff from him with a grin.]

Aw, that sounds real nice of him. I've always really liked presents like that, too. Something seems more special about them, somehow.

[He glances back over at the string in his Sylveon's grasp, slipping another bead on.]

I'm making one for all of my friends, no matter what. I don't really mind how much time it'll take.

[in_praetego]

[ It's also kinda cute how his Pokemon are helping out... and there's a Pokepuff for said Sylveon too because no one gets left out. ]

It's good to see that sort of thing here... even if we all don't come from the same world. Looks like almost everyone gets along at least. Sort of.

That reminds me...

[ And give him a second to rifle through one of his other shopping bags before fishing out a pair of mittens and placing them on the table next to Jimmy's workpile. ]

Here. The weather's been a little crazy lately and you'll need to keep those hands warm, huh? I was kind of wondering how to get them to you so... maybe now's as good a time as any.
