Application for Coraline Jones (Coraline, Neil Gaiman)

[braveexplorer]

((OOC: I'm playing Coraline based on the book, which is why she has a PB (Ariel Gade) rather than movie icons. Nothing against movie!Coraline, I just haven't seen the film yet. If you're reading this later and want to play Wybie or the movieverse version of anyone, PM me and we'll work something out.

Also, spoilers for the whole book.))It was a

"Oh my gosh! You're very brave!"

[braveexplorer]

"Thank you," Coraline said, because she didn't want to say anything silly like 'you're a talking flower'. It wasn't as though she hadn't met stranger people. "Somebody needed to be."

[omg_sunflora]

"I try to be sometimes, though it's tough to be brave by myself. I'm a LOT braver with friends."

[braveexplorer]

Coraline nodded. "It's easier to be when you're not alone. Being brave is supposed to be tough, though. It's only brave if you're scared and do it anyway."

[omg_sunflora]

"Yeeeaaah," Sunflora said, thinking of the mission she did with Loudred. That was scary, but she did it anyway.

"Were they scary?"

[braveexplorer]

"Extremely." She said this firmly. It was pointless to pretend otherwise. "But they pretended not to be, at first."

[omg_sunflora]

"Eek! I knew someone that did that! He pretended to be our friends, but really he wanted to stop time!"

[braveexplorer]

"But you stopped him?" Well, obviously, or they wouldn't have been talking. "What did he want to stop time for?"

[omg_sunflora]

"I didn't, Piplup and Chimchar did! They're VERY brave." Sunflora scratched her head. "I think they said it was because Darkrai wanted the entire world to have nightmares. I'm still not sure what Dusknoir has to do with Darkrai, though."

[braveexplorer]

Coraline couldn't help with that, not knowing who any of those people were. "Are they all flowers too?"

[omg_sunflora]

Sunflora giggled. "Noooo, they're different types of Pokemon. Piplup's a Water Pokemon and Chimchar's a Fire Pokemon."

[braveexplorer]

"And you're - a plant Pokemon?" she guessed. "I don't know your name..."

[omg_sunflora]

"I'm Sunflora! I'm a Grass Pokemon!" She held out her leaf to shake Coraline's hand.

[braveexplorer]

Coraline shook the leaf, carefully in case it might come off. "I'm Coraline. I'm - a human girl."

[omg_sunflora]

"There are LOTS of humans here." Sunflora said that because it was a little weird for her.

[braveexplorer]

That was another good sign, Coraline hoped. "Where is here?" she asked. "And how do I get home?"
