7 ♫ the post where neku is a loser [action/text]

[brbmanlytears]

[so that pond by Sprout Tower. Neku is at it, because 2/3 of his Pokémon are water types and they like to swim about. anyone nearby may witness him just chilling (except not because it's hot out) on the edge of said pond, while his endearingly derpy Quagsire, Fish, swims around and occasionally bumps into Fish 2 -- which is easier to do now,

[ Hey, Neku, guess who thought of hanging out by the water today? Sanae is bored and too hot, Hachiko and the fish need water to swim in, and there's not much else on his schedule. He's only just walking up when he hears the fail-y splash of Neku hitting the water, and okay that gets him to pick up the pace a little.

He is greeted by the sight of Phones flailing around in a pond and a massive blue snakething swimming away.

... what. Is this even. ]

[brbmanlytears]

[this is what Neku is like when he doesn't have the UG to make him slightly less derpy than he truly is.

brb sputtering angrily and trying to push stupid hair out of his eyes now.]

[usedsketch]

[ And this is Sanae standing in a foot of water, offering a raised eyebrow and a hand up. ]

Uh. Need some help, Phones?

[brbmanlytears]

[adkjnfkjgnf NOW Neku notices that Mr. H is there. oh god, so embarrassed.]

I -- yeah, uh. Yeah.

[you have gained +1 soaking wet teenager. not sketchy at all, Mr. Trenchcoat.]

[usedsketch]

No trouble.

[ And he helps pull Neku back to his feet! Soaking wet teenagers are his very favorite kind how did you know. And man, it's way too hot out to be wearing the trenchcoat right now, though he totally has the fedora on. ]

[brbmanlytears]

[that goes so well with your sandals, Sanae.

Neku will be here, squeezing out the hem of his shirt. sob, not the turtleneck. he will not be stripping SORRY MAN I mean.]

Thanks, Mr. H.

[ Hey, the Gambler outfit came with actual shoes, you know. Not... that he's actually wearing them, seeing as it's too hot out and he's always been fond of his sandals and shut up man he's CAT he can dress however he wants. ]

Sure. So, what happened? I figure you weren't just goin' swimming.

[brbmanlytears]

[YEAH YEAH like he'd ever wear his actual shoes. now watch as Neku looks thoroughly annoyed AND*~ embarrassed.]

My Gyarados is in a bad mood. He, uh -- pushedmeinthewater.

[usedsketch]

[ Oh Neku you're so cute when you're being a derp. Which is always. So. ]

Gyarados? Hang on, so the blue thing--?

[ He turns to stare off over the water, but 2 is long gone. Hell, people weren't kidding when they told him that evolving his Magikarp would be a bad idea.

Now Mr. H looks annoyed too. Or maybe just. Concerned. ]

[brbmanlytears]

[somewhere, 2 is rolling his sea monster eyes. Neku is folding his arms and trying to look less like a drowned derp.]

Is a lot less useless and lot more angry now that he's a big fish snake.

[usedsketch]

[ And Mr. H is heading back toward the bank! Dry land sounds nice. CATs don't like water much, after all. ba-dum tsh ]

... I was gonna let mine evolve and then trade it off to someone else, but maybe it'd be better to ditch it now.

[brbmanlytears]

[ha ha no that was horrible why do you do that. Neku will be trudging his way to dry land as well.]

Maybe. They're a pain.

[usedsketch]

[ you know you love me and okay Sanae's going to rummage through his backpack now, searching for a towel to give Neku. ... uh, it's in here somewhere. Maybe he'll just give the kid his trench coat instead. Less effort. ]

At least then Minamimoto might agree to buy it back, though.

... you wanna borrow my coat? Warm you up a lot quicker than a towel.

[brbmanlytears]

[my noodles were delicious for the record ANYWAY.]

Tch. Bet he wouldn't because he's allergic to being helpful.

[BAM taste Neku's scathing wit.

a-and oh. //// what was that--] Uh -- okay?

[usedsketch]

[ YAY I'M GLAD. and didn't you hear, Neku, he wants to warm you up~~

okay he'll just go sit by the kid, here Phones let him drape his sketchy coat around his shoulders, it'll make you look less like a drowned rat. ]

Might have a point there. The guy's still got his useful moments, though.

[brbmanlytears]

[w-well that's okay then.

Neku will just be. here. not really...doing any moving because what's going on -- but hey, he is warmer than a moment ago.]

If you like crazy people.

[oh wait, Mr. H does. Neku won't bring it up if you don't? :(]
