First Lie : Nimbasa City - action

[togetherwefell]

 Having fiddled around a little with his  Xtransceiver to figure out how the primitive technology worked, he's currently got the video function turned off, mostly because he doesn't like the idea of people trying to contact him before he's properly got his bearings in this new realm.

That does not mean to say, however, that he's not conspicuous, even in Nimbasa - he's still in his dark Asgardian clothes that he arrived in, the only additions being the green bag slung over his shoulder and the Emolga currently sitting on his shoulder.

The cold doesn't bother him at all.  Nor does the fact bother him all that much, due to that always having been the case, yet now there is a constant reminder attached to it.  Not one of them.  Something else...

He narrows his eyes, and continues to explore.

I am loving your number counter. ;u;

The fact that Nimbasa is home of the Electric Gym does not likely help matters completely. Though the colours vary entirely and it is in the end home to contests and events of all kinds, that does not change the fact that it's home to the 'Bolt Badge'...

Which is exactly why a kid carrying an egg in his arms is running through Nimbasa now, a trail of pokemon (and likely people) barely seen cutting through the crowd milling about so they can follow. "WUAAAAAAAHHH..!! We're here! We're here..!!"

It's just so very Loki. :')

[togetherwefell]

Loki would have just let the human kid pass and ignore him if he hadn't been carrying that egg so precariously. So instead of getting out of the way, he tries to stop his mad pelt- somehow without causing him to drop the egg.

"Just what do you think you're doing?"

It is. ;;u;;

[kattobingu_ore]

"SGHAAAAAAHHH-" You know Loki, he would have totally crashed into you. He almost did. He has barely skidded to a stop in front of you, and is now looking up and blinking. You're...

Tall. Well, taller than most of the people he's seen so far to be honest. "Ehhh..." RIGHT WHATEVER. "I need to get to the Gym..!" he manages to respond with a grin. "We're going to challenge the leader for the Bolt badge..!!"

The pokemon are slowly coming up behind him at this point, one carrying another it seems. A large bird-like one with a smaller teal turtle flaps over, followed by a ghostly lamp... A floating pink thing...

And a few others! Coming in a poncho, Astral briefly slows to a walk to catch his breath as Kuribolt settles beside him. "Hah... Y-Yuuma... We just got here..."

oh hi there so I won't be posting much because GOING TO PARTY

[ryuusei_subaru]

[And then another boy who looks a little younger than Yuuma following in a thick red coat and dark blue pants. He's faring better than Astral, but not by much. No matter how much exercise you might get, following Yuuma is no easy task! Loki might or might not spot a strange energy being, invisible to mortal eyes, behind Subaru-it's War-Rock!]

S-slow down, Yuuma-kun! A-astral has a point, you know...

Hallo~ That's okay. :'D

[togetherwefell]

Loki takes in the new boy with a glance, but gives a level, unimpressed look at Yuuma still.

"You're leaving your companions behind you and you're endangering your egg. I don't think you're ready to challenge anyone if that is what you think acceptable behaviour is."

He can't see War-Rock. Although Astral garners interest - blue, strange eyes - his attention is on Yuuma.

Because Astral's icon suits this post more. 8U

[originalnumber]

"EHH?? Endangering..?? But the Center said if I carried it-"

"Hahhhh..." Astral will be taking that egg now. "Yuuma. She said that if you walked, it would be fine, due to the heat in this area. However, you are lucky that you did not run into this man."

"Aheeeh..." Yuuma looks rightfully shamed- or at least somewhat embarrassed by that... "S-Sorry... B-But it's been an entire month..." A month since what?

Astral will merely shake his head- Kuribolt on the other hand, curiously sniffs this new person before yipping rather happily. "Zo! Zooo!!" And...

Jump?

A-Another Loki?? "Eheeeeheheeheheheh!!~"

[ryuusei_subaru]

You shouldn't go off looking for the gym without preparing, though! And don't you think you and your Pokemon (read: ALL OF US) should rest after going through the desert like that? We just got here...

[And then a sigh at Kuribolt's antics.]

[togetherwefell]

"I agree with your friend here. You should prepare properly and be rested before taking on any challenge. Especially when it concerns others whom you happen to be travelling with."

Simply because he'd gone off the deep end towards the end didn't mean he couldn't think logically still, and this was to do with people... not monsters.

And then, another Loki. Loki blinks at it- him.

"I'm rather certain that I didn't do that one."

[kattobingu_ore]

"Hai hai..." A-all of you you're ganging up on him ahhhh- "I get it..!!"

Again, Astral shakes his head, but he smiles nonetheless. "The Pokemon Center here isn't far- we'll stop there before looking around."

"AH- but-"

"Do you truly believe that we will be able to enter the Electric Gym during the lunch hour?"

"... ...Oh." He's been sorely defeated there and- "Ah-" TWO OF THAT GUY-

One of which is standing far less straight and giggling with a rather ridiculous grin on 'his' face. "O-OII!! K-Kuribolt!"

"Ehehehehe!!" Hop, spin- It's the emolga! "Zorua!"

"Kuribolt!! Oiii!!"

Another spin- It's Zorua again. "Eheheheh! Rnnn ERF!"

[ryuusei_subaru]

[Oi, Kuribolt...]

I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to that...

[rcktfm]

[Indeed he does stick out, even moreso than an individual with cotton-candy hair. Archer can't help but pointedly stare from a sidewalk, Houndoom picking up on his trainer's interest as well. The dog's interest segues quickly from Loki to the Emolga perched on his shoulder, however.

Small. Not a threat, as far as Houndoom was concerned. Couldn't say the same for the giant it was with, though.]

[togetherwefell]

[Thor was indeed small, and as yet rather weak. Loki, though? He has been moving around in such a way that would suggest he's more used to fighting physically than with Pokémon.

He gets the feeling as though someone is watching him, and somehow manages to pick the blue haired man out from the crowd. Have some staring right back.]

[rcktfm]

[Now that Loki's made eye contact Houndoom's stare becomes much more firm, only earning a slight brow raise from Archer. He wasn't sure if the other man was new to the region or not, but he certainly hadn't seen Loki's face in Nimbasa before.

So he smiled, pleasantly. That was usually enough for most people.]

[togetherwefell]

[Loki smiles back. To all appearances, it could be a perfectly nice smile. But seen as this person has been staring at him for some time, it has a sharp edge to it.

He doesn't trust that easily. But he'll let it slide. Even if he is going to remember that face.]

[rcktfm]

[A tilt of the head as he catches that edge. Perhaps he had been a bit rude; no need to be going around making sour acquaintances. So he finally makes his way over, still smiling politely.]

Please pardon my lack of manners, good sir. I had only been trying to place your face.

[togetherwefell]

[Loki notices, but doesn't react aversely. Neither does Thor, who simply watches from his perch on Loki's shoulder.]

Perhaps you have seen someone with similar features to my own, but I myself have not been here long. You'll forgive me for being wary of strangers, at least at first.

[rcktfm]

[He waves a hand dismissively.] I can hardly fault you for being wary in such a situation. In any case, allow me to welcome you to Unova.

[togetherwefell]

A strange name for a strange land. I am known as Loki, and I am from Asgard. And you? You seem familiar with this realm. Is that from having been here at length, or are you native to the land?

[He's putting across the idea that it's simple curiosity that prompts him to ask, and in part it is. But information about people is always good.]

[rcktfm]

Pleased to meet you, Loki. You may call me Apollo.

I am not necessarily of this world, but of one very similar to it. I have been here for several months, however, and have become acquainted with its ways.

[bearbadge]

Here, have a doctor, who's still dressed in his uniform. He's got his Audino gripping to him, as he's crossing the street.

Hm. You look like something out of a comic book. Tyler couldn't help but be a little curious - so he approached.
"Yo!"

I'm going to have to sleep now, but more in the morning!

[togetherwefell]

Ah, the look of a medic that is universal and known realm-wide. At least it means that Loki's not going to be automatically suspicious.

And that's not a reference he'd get, amusingly. Loki, however, turns around to fully face Tyler at the greeting, a bemused smile on his face.

Okay! See ya then! (it is 10 am for me. i am at school.)

[bearbadge]

Well, Tyler doesn't read many comics, either. Too busy.
"You look kind of confused."
So are you, Tyler.
"I'm guessing this is completly new, huh?"

[togetherwefell]

"Very." Said dryly, in that way that Loki does. "I wake up somewhere strange, and I have my travel companion replaced with a rodent. Although on the latter, I'm hard pressed to say that it isn't an improvement."

[emmet]

"Hi!"
Also, have Emmet. He's just popping up behind Loki, a scarred Vulpix by his feet. He's just... there, grinning with his sharkteeth.

[togetherwefell]

Oops wrong move-

Having spent the past several weeks or more constantly on guard, that is not something Loki is comfortable with, and he ends up twisting away and able to face the guy who just freaked him before responding.

"I'd recommend you not try that again."

'Raw' is one word for it. As is 'on edge'. Neither truly do him justice, really.
