in which the hunter becomes the hunted
Sep. 8th, 2013 11:24 pm[sometimes, the woods and the mountains and the wilds aren't enough for him. while he's at home in them, that doesn't make them home.
on those nights, when he wants to run but feels out of place in his usual haunts, he slips out and heads not away from humanity, but toward it. he flies between tall buildings, jumps from roof to roof; pads silently through alleyways and past doorways on four feet and two.
the city was his home first, and in many ways his heart never left it.]

seeing Pokemon by themselves, however, is. especially when the Pokemon in question is a six-foot tall cat-type bristling with both fur and muscles. ...even if it is wearing a rather dapper jacket and shirt. and genteelly nibbling at a Poffin while reading a book.
um?]
((ooc: ...Pokemon AU free for all? 8D;; Kaitwo's recently helped pass some pretty significant laws for equal Pokemon rights and is a recognizable public figure in-universe at this point, but if you'd rather not try to deal with all the weird plot we've built up feel free to just gawk at the Mewtwo in a coffee shop. or do something completely different!))

...are those blueprints?]

May. 16th, 2013 12:24 pm[despite what he is— because of what he is— he takes particular pride in summoning up the ghosts of those places he remembers as being lovely to give to his new host. he may not be able to change his nature, after all, but he's always found a perverse sort of pleasure in warping the rules.
this is no exception.
tonight, he gives her the Sky Gardens. the climb up is long, but the forest park at the top of the staircases is quiet and peaceful, even on the cliffs that overlook the alien city down below. here, he is no more than a deeper shadow under a particular tree, waiting patiently for his new dreamer to come.
he's paid his end of the bargain in full. now, it's her turn.]

You've really become quite the cook, Kaito.

Aaah, I really hope this isn't permanent...

not that her old one was bad, no! but it had been designed with observation as a priority, and what they had thought she might like as a secondary concern, and only then had she been able to customize things. this, though... this one she'll be able to mold exactly as she wants from the start—
beginning with the paint. it's a lovely, soft sky blue, her favorite color, and she's taking great glee in brushing it onto the plain walls with wide strokes. ...even if it's getting all over her, too.]

I GOT IMPATIENT :'D
Jan. 31st, 2013 12:24 pm... Dr. Fuji?
[that sure is a call from... wherever the heck Kaitwo slunk off to earlier that morning. and that sure is a lot of thinly veiled fear in his "voice."]
I... believe I'm going to need your assistance with something.

he, of all beings, can't focus. it would be funny, if it weren't infuriating. what use are his power, his mind, if he can't control them?
(they're the only things he has.)
but his frustration doesn't prevent him from dropping out of meditation at every out-of-place sound that might be a human footstep. or from checking the caves again and again for minds that think like his own, far more often then he strictly needs to to know he remains safe.
stupid. he doesn't even know if the doctor will be returning.]

(but only almost. he still needs to remember - Ib needs him to remember. to forget the gallery would be to forsake the little girl who saved his life, and that was bad enough the first time.)
so he sleeps, reasonably assured that he's unlikely to wake up screaming tonight.]
