Who: Rise and you! [one locked prompt]
Where: Around Goldenrod
When June 1st
Summary: It's Rise's birthday. And with the Fourth Wall wackiness, she forgot to tell anyone. So here's a depressed Rise who now feels too awkward telling anyone.


Locked Prompt for Crocker

[Rise had found a bakery in the quieter part of Goldenrod. She was sitting at a table in the corner, surrounded by her Pokémon. Her Sylveon, Himiko, and her Umbreon, Chiisai, sat on either side of her, and a newly evolved Glaceon, Jin, laid beside Chiisai. Her ever present Meowstic, Nanako, was trying to cheer up her trainer by floating a burning candle and making it move in complicated patterns.

There was a very small smile on her face, though she still looked sad.]

Thanks, you guys.

Open prompt

[Rise's out and about town now, her usual smile very brittle. She'll nod to people she knows, but keeps walking, her Pokémon always at her side. If anyone pay attention, she's wearing a pair of black glasses, with small bands of color on the frames, a red Alice band, and a set of headphones around her neck. There's also a blue hat attached to a studded belt, buttons on the hat, and a random red rose attached to the band in her hair, and last, a black tie with barrettes attached. (Of course she's wearing clothes to match this look) These are not the usual things she wears, but items from her friends. She had wished for keepsakes from home, and they had been on her bed that morning.

At least something was going right today. Her thoughts are all over the place, so it'll be hard to get her attention.]

Japan? Is that the world you came from?

[dangerousidol]

Yeah. Well, it's a country in the world I'm from. Not the biggest, but not the smallest. The world is called Earth!

[paopuprincess]

Earth. Like... the dirt?

[What a weird name. Why would you name your world like that?]

[dangerousidol]

V-Variety is good...

[She bit her lip a bit before shaking her head.]

No... It's been a horrible weekend!

[dangerousidol]

... I guess so. I didn't name it. I think a really, really long time ago it was called Gaia or something.

[paopuprincess]

That's a lot prettier, I wonder why it was changed.

[dangerousidol]

Uhm... I'm not too good with history and stuff, but I think Gaia was the name of a god or something. I guess they wanted a different name for it so they wouldn't offend anyone. [She paid some attention in class.]

[babel_hacker]

[And that's why you're extra cool.]

Yeah! I say Kanto is a little more industrialised and modern? Which isn't a bad thing by themselves.

[dangerousidol]

[.... Jin pats Flonette on the head. You're okay by me.]

So Johto is more old timey? That's really weird to think about. Then again, a lot of places are like that.

[paopuprincess]

Weird. [She chuckles, taking some of the last spoonfuls of her curry.]

[dangerousidol]

It is. I just don't think about it too much. [She drank some tea and took a deep breath.] Okay. I'm good to go. It's all paid for already~

[paopuprincess]

Then take me on an adventure. [She grins happily.]

What kind of cool landmarks do we have here?

[dangerousidol]

An adventure? [That's cute.] There's the Goldenrod Department Store. It's huge! I go up on the roof sometimes just for the view.

[paopuprincess]

Sounds like our first stop.

[dangerousidol]

[She gets up and looks down at her Pokémon.] Do you guys mind going back to the Dojo? I'll be back there sometime, okay?

[They all looked worried about her, but Nanako nodded. She led the others out of the restaurant to leave them alone.] There we go. Now we can have some privacy~

[paopuprincess]

[Her cheeks darken and she averts her eyes.]

P-privacy. Nice and peaceful.

[babel_hacker]

[Yay! It seems like Flonette likes being pat on the head.]

I'd say so? Johto seems to be a little more in touch with their traditional side.

[dangerousidol]

[She blinks and looks at the younger girl.] Kairi?

[paopuprincess]

Hm? [She smiles, taking her hand.] Ready to go?

[dangerousidol]

Uh... yeah. [She won't ask, instead leading Kairi outside.] It's really easy to find the store. It's the biggest building in the entire city.

[paopuprincess]

Then it's not too far from here. [She smiles, spotting the tower a few blocks away.]

[dangerousidol]

Yeah~ [She tries not to walk to quickly. Looking over the city with Kairi... well, the thought was making her happy and anxious.] We can get sodas or something up there!

[paopuprincess]

I'm just excited to see the whole city.

[dangerousidol]

The best times are when the sun is rising or setting. The cities so beautiful at those times~

[paopuprincess]

[She laughs.] Sunrises are always my favorite. It's so beautiful watching the light come back.
