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.

"Very well then!" The pokeball is taken, and brought back to the room... In the meantime, a fellow nurse comes to stand in while Joy steps around. "Let us begin the tour!"

First stop- left hand side of the room. "Over here is the waiting area, for those who are stopping by for a minor check-in. Pokemon taken to the center are restored in the back rooms and returned within 5 to ten minutes typically, provided more severe injuries have not been sustained. In these cases the wait may be longer, or an overnight stay may be required, however such occurrences are rare," she adds, a few people in said waiting area flipping through the available magazines and pamphlets. "You will also find information on the city of Nimbasa here, and within other cities there will often be brochures with their own information."

Moving onto the right side- don't worry, she'll answer any questions you have between..!

"Over here we have the Poke-Mart, which is located in any cities lacking a specialized department store. The Poke-Mart holds a regularly checked stock of day to day needs for aspiring and current trainers, including medicines, travel aids, and also supplies for pokemon capture and care."

"Now," she continues, moving toward a staircase behind the front desk, "If you could follow me please..."

"Upstairs we have minor training facilities. Some prefer to utilize Battle Halls when they can, or to battle with pokemon in the wilds, but if you so wish you will be able to train with others in the rooms provided here." Moving further along the upper floor... "And over here we have the PC system. This is a public run system, encompassing all of Unova, and is used for Pokemon transport. As trainers are legally required to have no more than six pokemon on their team at any time, these PC's are used to transport other pokemon to 'boxes', which coorespond with vast and diverse fields looked after in the southern area of Unova, near Nuvema town. These fields are specifically formed to suit many pokemon needs, and will allow them to remain safe and well cared for until returned to the party itself."

"And last of all," the Nurse continues, moving back downstairs, "This is as you know the main desk. When visiting the pokemon center, all you need to do to ask for a healing is to come to this desk, where a Nurse will see to your questions and needs. And that is the extent of our facilities here at the pokemon center- I hope you found this information useful," she adds with a light bow. "And Audino should be back with your pokemon shortly."

He takes it all in without saying a word, one hand to his mouth and a finger sometimes tapping against his upper lip. He takes note of anything that might be useful - which includes everyone else in the vicinity and how they're acting, as well as all of the possible potential exits, not limited to silly things like doors.

Once the tour is completed, he bows slightly, and thanks the NPC Nurse Joy.

"Thank you. Yes, it was very helpful. I'll keep this all in mind."

And then he goes back to where he sees Yuuma's very... recognisable hairstyle. Hardly something one could miss or mistake, that.

[Meanwhile, the Nurse is correct, the two boys are in the middle of getting their Pokemon back right now.]

Thanks, Joy-san... [And then he spots Loki coming back as he's putting away his four Pokemon.]

Ah! You're back! Was it helpful?

[kattobingu_ore]

Yuuma as well is getting his pokemon back, ready to release them once he's outside- Astral is carrying a few pokeballs himself to keep them from falling out of Yuuma's hands however... The egg makes it difficult for him to manage after all.

As it is, putting his hat back on, Yuuma grins. "Ah! Loki!" Another pokeball is returned, and Yuuma holds it forward to him. "They're all done too! Here's yours..!"

[togetherwefell]

They get a small smile. "Ah, yes. It was. Thank you." He takes Thor's pokeball and lets him out straight away, the Emolga finding his way back to Loki's shoulder in an instant. The ball goes into his bag, since he won't be needing it.

[ryuusei_subaru]

[While this is going on, Subaru's frowning slightly as he looks at his X-Transiever.]

It's getting pretty late, though, I think you should save the Gym for tomorrow, Yuuma-kun...

[kattobingu_ore]

"HEHHH?? REALLY?"

The Nurse at the counter has to stare. "Oh?" And glance at the clock. "Oh my- It's already dark out!" However, rather than a somewhat saddened look, she instead gives a large smile to the group. "Elesa's gym will probably be booked completely, but I highly recommend a trip through the city before settling down for the evening- this is your first time in Nimbasa, correct?"

Astral nods. "Aah. It is."

"In that case, close your eyes as you leave the building- When you open them," she continues with a smile, "You'll be in for a wonderful surprise!"

"Ah?? Really?" Yuuma is already looking toward the door...

And potentially bolting if you guys take too long to leave!! "Hahhh... Yuuma..." At least it's more a fast walk though- Astral has no trouble walking to keep up...

Mind, Yuuma's standing perfectly still when he gets outside to see what the nurse was talking about.

"Woaaaaaaaahhh..." Lights...

..Everywhere...

At first he's amused, humouring them and not expecting anything truly spectacular. This world may be strange, and more advanced than most he's passed through since falling from the Bifrost, but nowhere near the splendour of Asgard.

But as he opens his eyes, the lights glimmer out at him, shining in the night like a thousand points of the rainbow, scattered across the city. The bridge, falling, shattered.

He remembers being able to look out, and he would be able to see that, remembers riding out with Thor, and the others, before, when they were still innocent and ignorant.

It was beautiful, and it was heartbreaking. It reminded him of everything he didn't have any longer, and was a pale imitation of a slight portion of home.

His breathing hitched, but he couldn't close his eyes.
