[singing to himself as he folds laundry]

♪ In this world, for one person alone,
For your sake alone
Will these lips part
So please, these hands of yours
Don't stop them
My Master~ ♫

[there's a sharp vrrt noise from the doorway, like heavy machinery straining to stop too quickly. ...probably because that's what it actually is! have +1 Kaito staring at you]

[itaito]

[that's loud enough that he's startled into stopping]

Ah, Kaito!

[was_no_monster]

[mmmight be slightly redfaced]

Aah. ...I heard you singing, so...

[itaito]

[blushing a little himself, but just smiles and continues folding laundry]

Aah... That's an older song of mine, but one that means a lot to me.

It's not about sex or anything, though! It's a song of gratitude.

[was_no_monster]

[HE JUST LIKES LISTENING TO YOU SING, okay]

...Gratitude?

[itaito]

Mm-hmm. To producers, for using me.

[starrynewworld]

[Just. Out, somewhere, spending quality time with the weasel and bat.

And quality time means training, of course. Since there's no other Pokemon around, they'll have to make do with battling against each other. Cuts leveling-up time for both of them in half, so, win-win as far as Miki's concerned.

Careful of ice and poison, passerbys. No matter how diligent Miki is in paying very close attention to this action there's bound to be a few things missed.]

[lil_icemountain]

[like a small child running directly at the battle?]

No! Stop fighting! You'll get hurt!!

[starrynewworld]

[woah nelly that is actually cause for a hint of alarm in her voice.]

Stand down.

[Crobat makes a rather acrobatic loop before landing close to Miki's feet, Sneasel taking a longer moment to stare at the intruder before setting down his fighting stance.]

Why have you interfered?

[lil_icemountain]

They were fighting! They were gonna get hurt...

[starrynewworld]

They were training. It is not harmful.

HOLY CRAP I completely forgot I had this guy and wanted to do this

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

[it isn't like either would effect him, or even "hurt". the worst that might happen would be that Father would have to make a few repairs.

watching them fight. ...it doesn't look like the dispute is over food, and as they're not the same type it likely isn't over territory or mates, either. :|a]

Why are they fighting?

YES VERY GOOD

[starrynewworld]

[Oh my, you have a very interesting look and sound about you, dontcha. She takes a moment to look it up and down before answering. A robot? Strange, it seemed much more...lifeless than the ones she's encountered thus far.]

It is training for battles to come.

*w*

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

...They are capable of understanding the advantages of practice?

[starrynewworld]

They are.

This is unusual to you?

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

Yes. Most animals I am familiar with do not possess enough reasoning or foresight to understand that on more than an instinctual level.

[starrynewworld]

From what I have observed, the animals present are very different from Pokemon, two of which you see here. Pokemon are highly intelligent, and work alongside humans in the world I come from.

[windinmysails]

[DRUM PRACTICE YEEEAAAAHH

don't mind the horrible racket produced by banging on a bunch of buckets and spare tires]

[sonicomi]

[ see pink haired gravure idol wandering around

see pink haired gravure idol wandering around holding a map

see pink haired gravure idol wandering around holding a map and looking as lost as she could possible be right now ]

Ah... d--did I take a wrong turn...?

/face in hands I WAS WAITING FOR THE "SOMEONE TAGGED YOU" NOTIF AND FORGOT I DIDN'T MAKE THIS POST

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

[see dude watching her meander about from a nearby bench, his head tilted to one side]

—Possibly! Would you like assistance?

I LAUGHED REALLY HARD, SORRY

[sonicomi]

[ Sonico jumps visibly, almost letting go of the little map in her hands but eagerly hurries over, nodding as she does so. ]

Yes, yes, if it's okay! I'm -- I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm really lost!

[ she holds out her little map for him to see and -- well it's easy to see why she got lost. It's a handwritten map and basically indecipherable. ]

I--I was looking for the Kokone Photo Studio... and I have no idea where I am!

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

[leaning over to look and... wow, he can't even recognize that as a map— he wouldn't know what it was at all, if it weren't for the context. that's impressive! 'o']

Don't worry, I don't mind— Kokone Photo Studio, you said?

[...this may be more of a problem than he initially assumed; that name brings up no results when he searches either by GPS or even search engine.]

[sonicomi]

Yes -- or, um... I think...

[ she squints at the map again. It was her manager's assistant who wrote this and, as nice as the girl is, her handwriting is beyond awful. It's like chicken scratch! ]

It... it might be Kokonoe...? I can't really tell...

[ immediately, she drops into an apologetic bow. ]

I'm sorry! I hope I'm not wasting your time!

[heart_hidden_in_binary]

[tilting his head. ...that was supposed to be writing? Σ(ﾟДﾟ;)

trying the alternate spelling...? no, no hits there, either ('~')]

I should say the same thing, actually. I apologize, but I tried searching for both names and haven't gotten results either through GPS or search engine.
