[ Though she's pretty much been inside for the past two weeks, Rise's out now and is in a much genuinely cheerier mood for it. Nanako's back, Ven's awake, boom-de-yada, boom-de-yada. She's also decked out in a warm pink jacket

[there's a baby fruitplane-- Tropius-- snuffling curiously at the bundle of... slime. EW SLIME GOT UP MY NOSE PANIC PANIC PANIC AGGGGHHHHH fruitplane is now running around Rise frantically.]

[action]

[restardom]

[ oh god what is that baby tree dinosaur, and WHY IS THE SHELLOS WRIGGLING FREE AND HAPPILY OOZING AFTER IT. ]

H-hey!!

[action]

[newhero]

[clearly Tropius and Shellos are going to get along spectacularly. SUDDENLY, HOODED FIGURE APPROACHING, DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON-- oh wait, it's just Sora. that frantic fruitplane nearly bowls him right over, and he bends down wordlessly to wipe the slime out of the poor thing's nose with the sleeve of his jacket.]

[action]

[restardom]

[ while he's doing that, Shellos is just as gleefully trying to climb onto Sora's shoe. Without any limbs to assist it, either. This grants Rise enough time to push herself to her feet and walk gingerly over. ]

Ugh... sorry about that.

[action]

[newhero]

It's all right. You okay, though?

[that'll be quite an expedition there, my slimy pink friend. sure you can scale Mt. Sorashoe? both kid and fruitplane pause to watch Shellos ooze along.]

[action]

[restardom]

Nothing broken!

[ which is good enough to her, because god knows Rise doesn't need to be doing any more hopping for a very long time. Shellos has made it halfway, though now it's at an angle with the back of its head completely parallel to the ground. Inch... inch... iiiiiinch...

VICTORY, where is its flag. ]

[action]

[newhero]

[that gets a little laugh out of him-- Sora seems a bit quieter than usual, but that's likely just because he's muffled by the hood. right! hang on a second, triumphant slug; he'll fish some pokéfood out of his pocket and hold it out to him. fruitplane can have some, too.]

[action]

[restardom]

[ YAY FOOD. You are his new favorite person after his mommy, Sora. Have you met his mommy? Isn't she awesome?? She even played with him right after he was born! ]

... [ and Rise's giving Sora a thoughtful glance. ] Hey... you okay?

[action]

[newhero]

[... dude, you like being dropped/thrown? Sora... will keep that in mind. SLUG BASEBALL!]

Mm? Yeah, I'm fine. Just keeps getting colder out here, huh?

[action]

[restardom]

[ Rise might have to object to that once the slimy thing grows on her a little more. ]

At least the sun's been out. Do you want to head in?

[action]

[newhero]

Yeah, sure. M'gonna go see about getting a job in a bit, though.

[... lifts the foot with a Shellos attachment experimentally.]

[action]

[restardom]

[ the Shellos actually SQUEALS in joy. Doitagaindoitagain!! And Rise stares down at it with a long-suffering expression, because this day just got ten times longer. ]

The Department Store's still hiring-- I just came from there.

[action]

[newhero]

Oh, good! I'll check it out later, then.

[Rise appears to have hatched a Shellos with a wild side-- Sora peg legs over to big sis' side, so he doesn't accidentally step too quickly and send the little slug flying, kinda bumping into Rise once he's close enough.]

[action]

[restardom]

[ Rise reaches out to steady him with an arm around his shoulders, even as she tries to lightly nudge the Shellos off his foot.

BUT MOOOOOOOM D8. ]

[action]

[newhero]

[it's automatic, the way he plops his head on Rise's shoulder. he doesn't even realize he's doing it.]

I'm gonna have to get used to having a slug for a shoe, it looks like.

[action]

[restardom]

[ Like Rise minds. She's missed semi-snuggle time with her little bro. ]

I'll call him back, hold on a sec--
