2nd equation (night)= video/teneka

[aseparateworld]

[Unlike the rapid and stilted way he talks during the day, the thoughts broadcast by N's PORTAL are measured and clear (if at times accompanied by seemingly random images of his Pokémon friends). This is a way he's more comfortable communicating.]

Hello, my name is N Harmonia. I have some questions. [Akito had given him some good ideas for what

Comments

(video/teneka)

[yinblack]

[He addresses the second topic only, for Touya isn't sure what he could say to the first seeing as he can't really help when it came to abilities of that kind. And the third.. well he wouldn't know what to say about that, since he himself isn't familiar with the 'romantic love' feeling. Chances were anyone could answer to that here, so maybe it wouldn't hurt to see the responses..

For now though, Touya begins to speak, his Larvesta snoozing quietly in his lap as he pets at her soft white fuzzy coat.] A Pokémon club? I think that sounds like a good idea, actually!

To be honest, I was thinking of taking a time to explain to the network and people here about Pokémon and learn more about 'animals.' [There's a familiar smile.] But I think forming a club is really an excellent idea, especially when you bring those points to mind.

[aseparateworld]

[N smiles to see Touya and hear his thoughts. He's a little more used to the idea of being with him here. Now that he realizes he can communicate with emotions using teneka, he sends Touya a burst of warm affection.]

I am glad you like the idea. My new friend Akito suggested it, and I thought it would be worth trying. I hope you will come as well. Explaining to people via the network is also a good idea, as not everyone would wish to attend a meeting of the club.

[N considers the matter of animals. He is slowly coming to understand them.] "Animals" are like Pokémon in a way. They are pure-hearted. Their minds are simpler, their thoughts less like ours. Some are more easily directed, some wilder and harder to reach. They do not have the same kinds of abilities, though some can attack, and they can be very strong.

[He's distracted from the topic at hand by the Larvesta in Touya's lap.] How is Taiyou?

[yinblack]

[Touya is still getting use to that of the teneka though, so he's surprised at the the sudden feel of emotions. But he doesn't hesitate, no, possibly a bit shyly and carefully he returns the affection, if not a little more gently on his side.]

Akito, yes, I've met them before. I think it's definitely worth trying really. And I'll be sure to keep the explaining as planned then.

[Quiets for the moment, taking time to listen to N's explanation. It probably helped when it was coming from someone who understood Pokémon.] I see! That makes sense, I hadn't considered they would be that different.

[There's a soft look while he reverts his attention down to the Larvesta.] She's fine, she had been exploring most of the day so she went and tired herself out heh.

(video/teneka)

[aseparateworld]

Akito is the first new friend I've made here, though I'm trying to meet as many people as I can. I enjoy learning more about them.

I still have much to learn about animals as well, as they are new to me too, but I will share whatever I learn with you.

I'm glad she's doing well here. My friends have been eager to explore since we arrived. They haven't been frightened by the change. [N pauses, thinking that since he is talking to Touya now, he will have to try what Harper advised him to do, to make amends with him.] Touya, may I take you to dinner?

(video/teneka)

[yinblack]

That's good that you're making friends, Akito seems like a good person to be friends with.

[A short laugh.] Thanks N, I'll look forward to what you can tell me about them.

[The Larvesta coos softly, rolling in her spot while Touya nods his head.] Mine have been the same, I think so long as I'm with them and it's a new place to explore then they have nothing to worry about.

[Suddenly he freezes though, blinking at N's question. ..Take him.. to dinner? Puzzlement overcomes him, a fluttery like feeling shifting in his stomach as he continued to blink blankly at the other male.] ..D- Dinner?

(video/teneka)

[aseparateworld]

Akito and I have been getting along well, and we have things in common.

I do like talking to animals. They can be very responsive, very interesting. They tell me many things, in their way.

Yes, Pokémon are happy as long as they are with those they love. You yourself are their home, rather than our world. I feel as they do. The fact that I am with my friends is the most important thing.

[N nods, smilingly.] I have been to one place to eat, with my friend Anna. We could go there, but they only serve pie. I'm not sure if that's suitable for dinner.

(video/teneka)

[yinblack]

Yeah? [He's curious, not to say it was hard for N to have anything in common with someone, but particularly with what.]

What kind of things? Different than Pokémon?

[Okay he nods, but raises a hand to rub at the back of his head thoughtfully. His cheeks burn a little red, listening to his words and sorting through his head. It couldn't mean much by anything with dinner, right? The two talked with another but the only time they saw each other was at the party, so perhaps N was ready to fully begin approaching Touya..?

He shows a smile after, laughing a bit.] No, pie wouldn't exactly be dinner. But I think I know of a place we can go to. So, dinner it is then. Anytime in particular you wanna go?

(video/teneka)

[aseparateworld]

We were both raised with a purpose in mind. We both experienced suffering and care deeply about our friends. We have both been very lonely, although we are never alone.

They tell me about their lives, what they do, what they fear and enjoy. They live simple, pure lives. It is hard to define how they are different than Pokémon, but they are.

So pie isn't suitable for dinner. Then we'll go to the restaurant of your choice. I can go anytime. You can tell me when you'd like to go, and I will come.

(video/teneka)

[yinblack]

I see.. [Touya quiets for a moment, wanting to say something but holds back.]

Sounds like there's a lot to learn about each one.

No, it's not, for desert it is though. [Ponders for a moment.] Are you busy now? We could go now if you like.

(video/teneka)

[aseparateworld]

Yes, like Pokémon, there are many kinds, each with their own set of behaviors, and each individual has its own personality. Some of them even bond with humans, as Pokémon do.

So pie is only for dessert. [N accepts this. Then his eyes widen slightly. He hadn't expected to have his invitation accepted so soon, yet he is more than willing to go now.]

Where are you now? Tell me, and I will find you.

(video/teneka)

[yinblack]

If that's the case, I wouldn't mind getting to know some.. They sound so alike and yet so different. [He wonders if PokeBalls will work on them, but that's a question he wouldn't ask N.]

Mhm. [Touya can be as surprising as you, N!]

I'm in my room, House eleven. I'll wait outside for you.

(video/teneka) --> (action)

[aseparateworld]

[Touya is wise not to bring up Pokéballs about N. N simply smiles.] It is like that. They can be surprisingly different, but also extremely similar. Some of them even resemble certain Pokémon species.

I will be there soon. [The feed ends abruptly, and N leaves his apartment without delay, bringing his friends with him. He has done a lot of exploring, and he remembers vaguely where house eleven is, though he has to ask a few people for directions along the way; he's still not used to maneuvering in a city like this. Fortunately, it's not too difficult, and when he catches sight of Touya standing outside, he hurries toward him.]

Touya, hello.

(action)

[yinblack]

[The brunette is by himself when he lifts his head, spotting N and showing a small smile. He pushes off from leaning against the building, having actually been gazing at the stars above. It was sometimes distracting to remember that these stars were not the ones from home, but a whole new place. All the same, they were of course still stars.

He takes a few steps until he's right there in front of him.] Hello, N. Glad to see you found the place okay.

(action)

[aseparateworld]

It was not hard to find. I have been exploring on my skateboard, and I remembered seeing this house sometime before.

Where are we going to go for dinner? This will be the first time I have eaten dinner in a restaurant. Tell me if I do something I am not supposed to do. [He wonders if this is making amends, if it will really work, as Harper said. He still feels odd about this.] I am glad you want me to take you.

(action)

[yinblack]

That's good to hear then.

Hahah, sure, I'll keep that in mind for you N. It's a place by the beach, I never actually went in before and it's the only place I can think of. [He gestures for them to move on, a blush covering his cheeks at his next words.] Oh.. Well, there was no reason to say no, I really don't mind.

(action)

[aseparateworld]

Then we'll experience it for the first time together. I hope they have food that is suitable for a vegetarian. [He's learned new words since arriving here.] Did you know that people consume flesh, Touya?

[The idea still horrifies him. Some Pokémon eat meat, but that's a different matter, and there's no need for humans to do so. He never did. After delivering this grave piece of trivia, N falls into step beside Touya, glancing over at him and smiling. He sobers again quickly, however.] I know you have forgiven me, but I feel it will take a long time before I have truly made amends.
