action // late september

[scension]

[Not too long after Operation Pants, Sagi also acquires pants. A hoodie and a messenger bag, too. The effect is undermined somewhat by the spiky vambraces staying on, but he didn't know where else to put them. There are... a lot of things he doesn't know at this point, that he wishes he did. Danger or no danger, wandering aimlessly outside only does so much to clear his head in this unrelenting rain.

Presently, he comes back to the Pokemon Centre to dry off, two of his Pokemon following alongside. The crowd isn't as pronounced right now as it will be later in the day, but it still rates a solid "bustling" out of 10.]

Wipe your feet, don't forget.

[Pawniard and Mudkip chitter and burble up at him from the doormat. They didn't forget! They're setting a good example to kids everywhere. Their little animal sounds fill the silence, which he appreciates, but...

A splash of colour interrupts his unusually internal train of thought, and he looks over with a start. He's been staying here all month, for lack of anywhere better to go. When did they get that ominous giant statue in the corner, and what the heck is it wearing?]

[Why would a pure-hearted boy like Sagi be found skulking in a Mango City alley in the middle of the day? It's kind of a long story, involving a magazine. Not the kind of story that would have been in such a magazine - he'd be horrified at the thought. He just happened to see it lying out on a park bench, decided instantly that this was not an object he should leave in the vicinity of any local free-roaming preschool kids, and went to find somewhere less visible to throw it away.

After flicking through it. With his gloves on, because he literally doesn't know where it's been. Look, anyone would be a little curious.

But when he disposes of the hazardous object and goes to close the dumpster like a responsible citizen, something inside lets out a meep of surprise and darts out from under the lid, landing unsteadily on a nearby trash bag. It's small, it's fuzzy, it's purple, it's kitten-shaped... it's an Espurr! A little crumpled snack bag appears to be stuck to the fur on its front. Sagi doesn't know the name, of course; he only knows that it seems to have frozen up and is now staring blankly at him, as if it has Seen Things.]

A Pokemon!

[As ever, he's his own running commentary at normal speaking volume. He does crouch down to talk to the Espurr itself, though. The poor thing looks frightened out of its mind.]

Were you stuck in there? I don't want to fight you or anything, it's okay.

[...It's still staring at him. Presently, a light breeze dislodges the snack bag and sends it drifting down the alleyway.]

(from here)

[Sagi is aware that nobody has seen Atsushi since that night, though he's only gone out searching in the course of doing other things. A certain Spearow flew through a window not long ago to scream and peck at him before eventually disappearing with a surprised-looking poof, and that was the only clue he ever turned up - disconcerting in context, but hard to extrapolate from.

While he didn't expect to find Hythlo in the middle of this shortcut through the grounds around the cordoned-off tower, Hythlo's unusually sombre air and the Sentret curled up in his hood are two and two he can put together, for once.

He watches from a short distance away as the stone marker forms itself out of nothing and lowers to the ground. He has yet to see Hythlo work his creation magicks like that at this point, but it doesn't seem like a good time to show confusion about it. Besides, anything goes, these days. Including, apparently, people he thought he could be friends with.

He walks over.]

Did you... find him?

[There is no body under the marker, of course - he saw. It just seems so... final, to place it there and pray. He doesn't like it.]

action; some time after child shenanigans and before past spilling

[selfconcept]

[ It's a typical day in Melona and Hien decided that he would stay indoors for the rest of the day after a trip to the grocery store. He bought snacks as always to share with the other two and this time, he bought some hair care products, hairties, brush, and a comb. Before he was called Hien, he had a very high interest in hair care to the point his friends jokes about him being in a relationship with his hair on Facebook, or whatever the equivalent is elsewhere. Thanks to that, he still remembers some things, even though he largely doesn't care about his own hair that much anymore.

Anyway, when Hythlo returned from wherever he went, Hien suggested that he fix his hair. Whether Hythlo agreed or not, they're both sitting on the bed, with Hien getting a brush and working through any tangles or knots if he has them. ]

How do you deal with long hair...?

[selfconcept]

[ aka fuck timelines

Hien came back from checking out things in the PokeMart, because sometimes Lemonade is sold out for whatever reason and that's just what he's in the mood to drink. Not to mention the pokedolls that sometimes captures his attention. Despite having several talks with Joss about the past and what happened that is relevant to Hythlo, Hien never talks about it, and has been treating him the same as ever. Nothing changed.

The first thing he says upon coming back: ]

I want to eat belgian waffles in that cafe place for breakfast one day.

[ And if there's anything Hythlo might have learned from all the days they slept in the same room, it's that Hien never gets up in the morning unless there's some sort of crisis or appointment that he has to attend. And when he DOES wake up somewhere around noon, it's always accompanied with a large amount of coffee.

This is why breakfast at the cafe is a distant dream. /s ]
