[ action for Striaton ]

[mediocrespells]

[ Hazel has made it all the way to Striaton City. She's got her hood as far over her face as she can get it and still see where she's going. And she's just wandering around at random.

She is jumpy and avoiding all contact with anyone she passes by. She's even going so far as keeping at least a foot between her and anyone else. It probably looks suspicious to everyone who sees her even though she's not really up to anything.

The only reason she's braving the city is because she heard about getting gym badges being a possible way home.

No, she's not going to challenge the gym anytime soon. She's just trying to get used to being in a human city so she's not all nervous and stammering when/if she does.

She's kinda been making a squeaking noise and jumping away if anyone happens to brush against her accidentally. She might end up smacking anyone that intentionally touches her. ]

Hazel-san, is it? Nice to meet you.

[>You give one of your harem winning smiles. Who made up this term anyway? There's no way you can just be super suave everywhere, Yu.]

Oh, I seem to be a bit lost. Do you know where the Gym might be?

[mediocrespells]

[ She has no idea what '-san' means but, is just going to ignore it for now. She's not going to smile back. ]

No. I haven't seen the gym yet.

[ She's not trying to be rude. She's just incredibly nervous and trying to hide it. ]

[wildcardtruth]

Shall we look for it together then?

[>You determine that two heads are better than one. Or four eyes in this case.]

[mediocrespells]

I'm not actually looking for it yet.

[ She looks at the ground and fidgets a bit. ]

Anyone that lives here could probably tell you right where it is.

[ Finding it now probably wouldn't be a bad idea but, she doesn't really like the idea of going off with a strange human she just met. And she's not really in a hurry. Looking forward to living at least several hundred years can make one not see a need to rush too often. ]

[wildcardtruth]

Ahaha~ I guess that's true! I'm kind of new here after all.

[>So you say, laughing nervously. It doesn't seem like a lot of people take kindly to otherworlders really]

[mediocrespells]

New as in new to the city or...?

[She trails off. This would be the first time she's met someone else not from this world if that's what he meant. ]

[wildcardtruth]

[>You decide to tell it to her straight]

I'm not from this country, so new to everything really.

[>You catch on to something]

...You too?

[mediocrespells]

[ Well, she doesn't like to lie so may as well admit it. ]

Yeah. That must be why you're looking for the gym then.

[ She thinks if he's that new it seems like he wouldn't be ready for the gym yet... unless he's been training non-stop that is. ]

Seems hasty to go for that when no one is even sure it will work.

[wildcardtruth]

Well, it seems like the only way for now.

[>You shrug]

I just want to know where it is so I know where to go when the time comes.

[>You wink and smirk cheerfully]

[mediocrespells]

Makes sense...

[ She has never been winked at in her life and is probably taking it completely the wrong way because she is a little bit creeped out by it. She'll just take a couple steps back now. ]

[wildcardtruth]

[>You become a dense male lead and do not notice the awkwardness of the situation]

Oh right.

[>You suddenly turn to Hazel, staring at her seriously]

What Pokemon did you get when you started out? I'm quite curious on how many different kinds there are.

[>...]

[mediocrespells]

[ That stare is not doing anything to help make her feel any more at ease. ]

...It's called Eevee.

[ She's just stalling while she thinks of whether running would be a good idea. ]

[wildcardtruth]

[>You grin like an idiot. Wow how many different expressions do you have today?]

Ah, an Eevee huh? Mine was...

[>You send out Izanagi, the Pawniard]

A Pawniard I think it's called. Interesting names they all have, huh?

[mediocrespells]

[ Bringing out the little knifey thing does not help her nerves one bit. ]

Yeah... interesting.

[ And that sounded strained. Inching away now. ]

[wildcardtruth]

[>Izanagi bows to Hazel before tapping on another of Yu's Pokeballs. Letting out a Pidgey.]

Ah! Stop that!

[>Isis decides to just sit on your head. Good girl.]

Uh, I guess I got this one a couple of days back. Ahaha~ It's called a Pidgey I think.

[mediocrespells]

[ Being kinda creepy to looking kinda like a dork... Is he trying to confuse her? ]

...You're not sure?

[ Still kinda inching away. Sorry. At the moment she finds it hard to trust any humans so, she thinks you might be up to something sneaky. ]

[wildcardtruth]

Well that's what the Pokedex said at least.

[mediocrespells]

Is there some reason to think it's not accurate?

[wildcardtruth]

I guess not.

[mediocrespells]

[ She's had just about enough of being in the city for one day. Her nerves are shot and the Pidgey being kind of cute is not really helping her decide whether or not you're creepy. She'll just try to keep a bit of dignity by excusing herself instead of fleeing. ]

Well, I should go. Um... bye now.

[ She'll just back up a few steps before turning and walking away. ]

[wildcardtruth]

Oh, see you around, Hazel-san.

[>You felt your relationship with Hazel has grown]

[>Or formed, whatever]
