i remember that day; still ask myself why it had to be that way. ❝ Today felt like another opportunity to loaf about comfortably in the shade.Kogane City; a brilliant and bustling city that was the pinnacle of man's invention in Johto, with a massive radio tower and a magnet train speeding across the continent in record time. One might think that living here could only be described as glorious; to take in the splendor of such a exemplary city with every waking moment... and yet for some, it was just another dump to make a home in. At least it was for Dante. He felt awful inside the musty hoodie and jeans he'd worn for years now, despised the way his hair was clumped with grease; but it bothered him less and less as time went on and the evenings got cooler. Even so: What he wouldn't do to be rid of this rank, sullied disposition.'I wonder if I should have Kappa hose me off tomorrow,' he mused silently to himself. And yet what he needed was a deep clean that a thorough rinse simply couldn't hope to achieve. Glumly he considered the alternatives; forfeiting tomorrow's luncheon for some soap? His stomach growled at him, as if rebuking such a notion vehemently. His ribs rumbled faintly as Dante chortled feebly in response, scratching at the flat of his stomach. What building had he decided to sleep beside, anyways? Dante glanced up curiosly at the building, but from the alleyway perspective there was hardly anything distinctive about the place. Could've been a police station for all he knew; and that'd be just his luck, wouldn't it? Bringing a hand against the cool, smooth concrete bricks dividing him from the interior, Dante couldn't help but feel at ease. Summer weather had unfailingly left him exasperated, so it was a welcome respite from the muggy atmosphere. Now to close his eyes...Clutching his backpack against his chest, Dante attempted to get some shut-eye. |

[nospaces] [attr="class","pipostnatblock"]  [attr="class","pipostnatpost"] [break] Natalia couldn't help how she gave a laugh while walking out of the ranger station. She'd just moved to Johto and was currently stationed around Kogane City. Why? Because she needed to get a grip on the region. It'd changed a lot in the years she had been gone. So much, in fact, that Natalia barely recognized it when she showed up. Kogane still had its big radio tower and the routes were all basically the same. But there was something about it that was different. Maybe it was just her perspective, but Natalia couldn't help how happy she was to be so open-minded to it.[break][break] As the tall blonde made her way out of the building, her eyes landed on a fellow perched against the station. Slowly she raised a brow. Was he okay? He didn't look hurt, but he also wasn't rushing in to get any service. Was he... was he trying to sleep? Maybe he was just exhausted and wanted to go to sleep.[break][break] She should probably leave him be...[break][break] Oh, but she couldn't. As soon as she had turned away from him she turned right back around, effectively turning in a circle, before crouching down next to the body.[break][break] "Um..." how do you address somebody you don't know without startling them? Natalia didn't take the time to consider it before she closed the distance between herself and the man and tapped on his shoulder.[break][break] "Excuse me." Her voice was soft, approachable, and as warm as her smile. She'd wait until he lifted his head or enough time had passed. "I'm sorry, I don't me to interrupt, um, are you okay?"[break][break] just invading his personal space oof [googlefont=Roboto:400,900] [newclass=".pipostnatblock"]width:400px; margin:0 auto; background-color:#1e1e1e;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatblock img"]width:75px; height:75px; border-radius:100%; margin: 25px 0 15px 0px; border:1px solid #222; filter: grayscale(100%);text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatblock img:hover"]width:75px; height:75px; border-radius:100%; margin: 25px 0 15px 0px; border:1px solid #222; filter: grayscale(20%);text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost"]font:10px Verdana; line-height:115%; text-align:justify; padding:30px 40px 20px 40px; color:#999; background-color:#1a1a1a;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost b"]color:#549454;font-weight:lighter;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost a"]color:#666; font:10px Verdana; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing:2px; font-style:italic; text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatcreds"]height:8px; width:400px; margin:0 auto; color:#1a1a1a; font:10px roboto; text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:900; text-align:right; margin-top:0px;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost span"]font:10px Verdana; color:#666; letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes"]margin-top:20px;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes1"]border:solid 1px #e5e5e5;background-image:url(https://image.ibb.co/cijxkS/dark_spots2.png);background-position:center center;padding:0px!important;height:56px;text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes2"]width:10px;padding:0px!important;[/newclass] |

i remember that day; still ask myself why it had to be that way. ❝ He overheard footsteps encroaching on him, apprehensive to approach, yet lingering long enough that he wondered if he wasn't the object of their concern. But he just wanted to sleep, and usually people paid him no mind, so why delude himself? They'd be on their way shortly enough, and he'd feel security in the silence once more... And yet he heard an audible 'um' that must've surely been directed at him. Something reached out to him, provoking a startled response as he pushed his palms against the ground, heaving his body along the concrete and away from the contact. "Geroff," he mumbled faintly, though he sounded more frightened than anything. He peered warily at his accoster, recognizing that they were female first and foremost. Strange; most women couldn't be bothered with the likes of him."Excuse me," she cut through to him in dulcet tones. "I'm sorry, I don't me to interrupt, um, are you okay?" This was perhaps the single time anyone (excluding children) had bothered asking after him. His breath caught in the back of his throat: What was he supposed to say; 'Cheers, I'm alright, just had a bit of a blunder n' thought I'd take a nap in the streets'? What point was there in bothering to explain? They ought just be on their way. Except they didn't leave him be...; he wasn't sure whether to think that good or bad. He didn't want to lie to them, but neither did he want a pity tirade."Y-yeah, I'm fine... was jus' sleepin'," he murmured gently, clutching his earthly possessions against his chest as he backed up against the wall, trying to reacquire his sanctity of space. "Tryin' to, at least. N-not that you woke me up; I was only just closing my eyes..." He felt regretful that his remark came across strongly as an accusation and aimed to amend as much. "...Thanks for asking, though. Ain't many that care to."Dante turned back over onto his side, putting his back to the stranger dismissively. He'd wanted to say good night, but felt it was out of place. So he defaulted to silence. |

[nospaces] [attr="class","pipostnatblock"] [attr="class","pipostnatpost"] [break] The way the man was so startled one would have thought Natalia had started to scold him or smacked him upside the head. Though with the responses he gave to her questions she might have had the right mind to do so. She didn't, because he was a bit like an injured Skitty. Seemed Skittish, anyway, and Natalia was really just trying to help.[break][break] As he answered that he was alright she smiled, but the smile quickly faded as he continued. The poor dear was sleeping?? On the streets? She'd known that there were homeless trainers, but did this trainer not know that there was a Pokemon Center not far from where they were that would gladly give him board?? Oh, or was there a flux of individuals at the Pokemon Center so there was no board. Oh, that could have been the case.[break][break] Instead of assuming, she decided to ask. But first, to address his remarks properly. Her hand lifted in the air to swat away his words of gratitude.[break][break] "It is a base instinct to worry for other human beings just as one Pokemon will quickly and effortlessly worry for another. Moreover, you're sleeping in the street? Is the Pokemon Center full? I can't imagine the sort of volume they'd have to not allow vacancy even on, I don't know, the floor? It must be more comfortable than the cement... op!" Natalia gave a giggle of a laugh before covering her mouth. "I'm sorry, I'm mouthy today." She decided then that she would hush herself and give him the opportunity to speak.[break][break] Did she back away from him at all? No. Could she smell him? Yeah, a bit. Did it bother her? She'd stayed in a tent with four men before for a month straight and they'd all smelled like death by the time they'd gotten away from the Volcano they'd been camped by. So, in short, it might have bothered her but she didn't let it show.[break][break] still not backing off sigh [googlefont=Roboto:400,900] [newclass=".pipostnatblock"]width:400px; margin:0 auto; background-color:#1e1e1e;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatblock img"]width:75px; height:75px; border-radius:100%; margin: 25px 0 15px 0px; border:1px solid #222; filter: grayscale(100%);text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatblock img:hover"]width:75px; height:75px; border-radius:100%; margin: 25px 0 15px 0px; border:1px solid #222; filter: grayscale(20%);text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost"]font:10px Verdana; line-height:115%; text-align:justify; padding:30px 40px 20px 40px; color:#999; background-color:#1a1a1a;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost b"]color:#549454;font-weight:lighter;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost a"]color:#666; font:10px Verdana; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing:2px; font-style:italic; text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatcreds"]height:8px; width:400px; margin:0 auto; color:#1a1a1a; font:10px roboto; text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:900; text-align:right; margin-top:0px;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost span"]font:10px Verdana; color:#666; letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes"]margin-top:20px;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes1"]border:solid 1px #e5e5e5;background-image:url(https://image.ibb.co/cijxkS/dark_spots2.png);background-position:center center;padding:0px!important;height:56px;text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes2"]width:10px;padding:0px!important;[/newclass] |

i remember that day; still ask myself why it had to be that way. ❝ "R-right..."Base instinct? She should've met his father. Or his mother. That'd clue her in. Pokemon Center...? But he wasn't a pokemon, although he was a trainer. The thought had never occurred to him. Maybe... but no. He was far too... reclusive. Rather the quiet nook or cranny alone under the stars than the go-to for every other trainer in the vicinity. And well, he probably wasn't the best company. Or perhaps he was too proud to present himself in such an unsightly fashion to the scores of attendants and clientele. It simply wasn't his prerogative; not when the weather was so inclined to accommodate him. "I'm... fine out here. Really." Maybe the cement was rough, but then, he could be too. When he wanted to be. Dante got the impression she wouldn't let up easily however. Was she really going to drag him all the way to the Pokemon Center herself though? That'd be quite the rib-tickling spectacle, he mused, although Dante wasn't exactly enthused about the roadrash he'd assuredly receive. His clothes were frayed enough as is. His lips pursed. His eyebrows raised and he donned a pleading frown. "Can I go back to sleeping...?"She was a nice enough lady, but there was a heaviness in his drooping head and an aching burn in his eyes that only rest could abate, even if he was exposed to the elements. He raised a hand sluggishly towards his mouth, holding it agape as a yawn slipped out. |

[nospaces] [attr="class","pipostnatblock"] [attr="class","pipostnatpost"] [break] Natalia frowned at the way the man had responded. Did he not want to be helped? Could he really not want assistance in finding a place to call home? Or at least a place to call safe? He could get mugged! Oh no, or he could be the mugger.[break][break] In a way, that just fueled her urge to help him more. Natalia was stubborn, if nothing else, and she wasn't about to budge on this guy. Why? Because honestly, he needed the shower whether he realized it or not.[break][break] "Look," bending down a bit closer she frowned. "You look exhausted and you're breaking my heart. The Pokemon Center here in Kogane has rooms available for anybody with a Trainer Card. Have you one of those? A trainer card?"[break][break] He had to, didn't he? She hadn't seen his belt yet, but she'd bet he was a trainer. Or worse, he could not have been a trainer and that would explain why he looked so beat up, having to deal with territorial Pokemon alone! She'd give him a good scolding if the answer was no, probably even offer him her male Houndour as a starter and get him all set up at the local lab first thing after a shower if that were the case.[break][break] oof somebody help dante [googlefont=Roboto:400,900] [newclass=".pipostnatblock"]width:400px; margin:0 auto; background-color:#1e1e1e;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatblock img"]width:75px; height:75px; border-radius:100%; margin: 25px 0 15px 0px; border:1px solid #222; filter: grayscale(100%);text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatblock img:hover"]width:75px; height:75px; border-radius:100%; margin: 25px 0 15px 0px; border:1px solid #222; filter: grayscale(20%);text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost"]font:10px Verdana; line-height:115%; text-align:justify; padding:30px 40px 20px 40px; color:#999; background-color:#1a1a1a;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost b"]color:#549454;font-weight:lighter;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost a"]color:#666; font:10px Verdana; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing:2px; font-style:italic; text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatcreds"]height:8px; width:400px; margin:0 auto; color:#1a1a1a; font:10px roboto; text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:900; text-align:right; margin-top:0px;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpost span"]font:10px Verdana; color:#666; letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes"]margin-top:20px;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes1"]border:solid 1px #e5e5e5;background-image:url(https://image.ibb.co/cijxkS/dark_spots2.png);background-position:center center;padding:0px!important;height:56px;text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".pipostnatpokes2"]width:10px;padding:0px!important;[/newclass] |
