EVENT - Pokemon attacking and stuff

[united-mods.livejournal.com]

So. It's morning, in winter. It's a nice time, nice and cool. Well, cold, but whatever. This is a short part, because the majority of this EVENT OPENING will be in comments below this.

So yeah. Pokemon are wrecking shit, looking for you guys from other universes.

[He smiles weakly.]
One word: Dragonite. Draggo-night. It is the name of a Pokemon.

[Oops that's another... interesting subject.] And yes, she can be rather intense. She has a good reason for that, though. [N could understand that she needed to have that ferocity in order to survive in her world.]

And Paprika... has Tepigtails. [He holds his index fingers out behind his head, attempting to mime Paprika's hairstyle. He frowns. This is apparently serious business.] Auburn.

...Oh. [A pause as he attempts to rationalize being named after a Pokemon. He can't think of any similar situation in his own world, so after a while he shrugs and gives up on it.] All right. Dragonite.

...Tepigtails? [He laughs at that; he recognizes "Tepig" from his book. It was kind of funny, really, how similar the names of some Pokemon were to animals he knew.] Paprika must be a girl, then. Does she only have one name, too? [He pauses, realizing that N had only ever introduced himself with one name. He'd never thought about it before. Still, from his general dealings with the other outsiders and the locals of this world, he could tell that how people dealt with names was somewhat different here. More familiar. It was a bit disconcerting, actually, the immediate assumption of familiarity. Thomas generally preferred to keep his distance, as propriety dictates.] On that note, I understand N must be your first name, or your... only name? Have I been using it correctly?

[the-nth-power.livejournal.com]

[And soon enough that subject will become even more baffling! But that'll be a story for another day.]

Mm-hm. [He lowers his hands back to his sides, and takes a moment to search his memory.] If she has a surname, I do not know it. She introduced herself to me with her first name only, so that is how I address her.

[At the question, a brief look of pain crosses his expression.] You have been using it correctly. I do not use my last name anymore. [Oddly enough, his full name could still be accessed on his Xtransceiver. It was the source of some annoyance for him; not only was it a reminder of his disownment, but he also wasn't sure he wanted to be associated with the Harmonia name any longer anyway.] N is my only name now.

[Oops. Well that certainly implies some odd things, doesn't it? Why would someone stop using their surname? Thomas studies N's reaction silently for a moment, then nods, putting the question out of his mind. People with curses shouldn't make assumptions.] All right.

[He stops walking and glances up and down the street. No Dragonite, and no girl with pigtails, at least not in the immediate vicinity. He briefly considers suggesting splitting up, but there are so many arguments against it that he dismisses the idea.] Were they near here?
