Who: Aki and OPEN!
Where: Violet City, outside the school
When: February 21st, afternoon
Summary: Aki needs CR with various people. I am so out of ideas for logs it's not even funny. Therefore, this was thrown together.
Rating: I doubt it will even go past PG, if that.
Log:


The funny thing about seeing a school in Violet City was that Aki had yet to see any especially young children around who lived here on a permanent basis -- there were quite a few middle and high schoolers present, though. She'd heard about it, and occasionally talk along with it that the headmaster himself was a real oddball, either who didn't speak the local language natively or completely refused to speak it properly, but a kind oddball nonetheless. She had never seen nor met him, though, so she tried to reserve judgment on it. Most likely, she'd have to come back when the school was active and inquire about whether it was a school for local students only, or even if she could enroll for however long they were going to remain in Violet before heading off again. It seemed unusual to be asking about taking a class this way, but things worked much differently here, she reasoned. It was possible they got those kinds of requests all the time from the more diligent of traveling trainers, anyway.

Peering around the corner, there was a small playground situated on the side, but the sounds of shouting and hard footsteps in the sand were notably absent at this time of day. The silence of an empty playground would always be strange to behold.

Before she realized it, she was crossing the dry, straw-like grass while maneuvering around the patches of dirty snow. Soon, she stood a few steps away from the rusted swingset, eying it in clear deliberation. The swings themselves shook a bit as they were brushed by the chilly February wind, and she recalled the comforting semicircle motion from the days when her father pushed her back effortlessly through the air with strong, caring hands.

She could think of a hundred excuses why not to, truthfully. It was too cold outside, she thought as she held her coat around her a little tighter, or maybe she was just too old for swings anymore. Besides, it wasn't too late to see if anyone was still taking care of paperwork or something inside...

Deciding against it at last, convincing herself that there was no need, she whirled around to make her way back to the front of the schoolhouse.

Action okay? :3?

[Kaito had been drifting about Violet ever since his group had arrived in the dreary city, mostly performing small tricks for pocket change as he waited for Kay's dad to arrive. The past few days had given him a lot to think about, so the time he spent alone was something he was grateful for.

His wanderings had brought him to the schoolyard some time that afternoon, but the empty buildings and playground pretty much ensured the fact that he wouldn't be getting any business done here today. With a sigh, he turned on his heel to leave, only to stop when he saw a familiar face walking briskly from the swing set to the front of the schoolhouse.

Isn't that... Crow's friend?

He stopped short and turned to face the approaching figure, lifting a hand from his pockets and waving at her with a grin]


Oooooi! [He had only interacted with her a little bit, and nothing beyond exchanging names and pleasantries, but it certainly couldn't hurt to get to know the mysterious girl who had been traveling with them a bit more... right?]

[He approaches with a nod, lifting a hand to tip back the brim of his baseball cap]

Yeah, that's right. [a shrug] 'M just looking for people who might be interested in seeing a magic effect or two.

Y'know. Magic. [twists his wrist and produces a yellow flower for her :D]

[he twirls the flower in between his fingers and nods]

Here, I am. Back home I'm just a student who likes magic. [tosses the flower into the air and makes it burst into confetti with a snap of his fingers]

One day I'll perform on stage.

Since I was a kid. [reaches out and catches a few pieces of confetti in his palm]

Student? High school... second year. [a shrug] I haven't even thought about school since I arrived here.

[amused snort] I'd be surprised if the schools didn't put an emphasis on Pokemon.

Back home, schools are just schools. We don't have Pokemon or Duel Monsters or anything like that.

[ Kay had been everywhere, mostly to keep her mind off the inevitable. But it's helpful now to distract herself--

and so Aki will find one of her groupmates trotting unerringly for one of the swings and plopping herself down in one with no hesitation whatsoever. ]


Swing GET!

[ once she's comfortably settled, Kay nods and offers her a chipper salute. ]

At your service and stealing this swing! Aki, right?
