[usedfaketears]

[Should you be in Violet City, and anywhere near the Pokémon Center - well, you're in for... something. Sitting on the floor with legs outstretched it this old man. Is he relaxed? Well, he could be, but he's moaning and groaning about being an old man. Please, feel free to make fun of him for being "old," tell him to get off the floor, or just

[Sisuca is in Violet, dorking around! Actually, she's specifically looking for Raven. How often does that happen? She doesn't use the Pokégear, though, because she's afraid she'll call someone and get static. It comes with the territory when everyone you love leaves you. Anyways, Pokécenter! Trailed by a Machamp, there is a Sisuca.]

Is that you, Raven?

[usedfaketears]

[He's been fiddling with the Gear since he made is post -- so he's actually not looking when she approaches. So he looks up, a bit more aware when she addresses him specifically.]

That's right -- Raven the Great, at yer service! [He eyes her a bit more carefully, recognition setting in through the tiredness.] Sisuca?

[saltwaterwounds]

That's right! You remembered my name! Did you get tired of Raven the Sweet? [Don't mind her, she's...really invasive. So she'll get on her knees to talk to him.] What are you doing on the ground like this? Are you hurt?

[usedfaketears]

Whoa, now, now. One thing at a time, darlin'! [He laughs a little.] First thing's first - course I remembered yer name. I may be an old man, but my memory's as good as a kid's.

Second - call me whichever ya want. I like 'em both, so sometimes changing it up isn't a bad thing.

And finally, not hurt at all. Just an old man getting some good ol' rest.

[saltwaterwounds]

[She's already going through her bag as he speaks, humming a little as she listens to him ramble. She doesn't think she's moving too fast at all!]

Hmm...I'll go with Raven the Great for now. Well, since you're resting, how about a gift?

[And she pulls out a safari ball with...Raven's...face...on it? She used a sharpie. It's hard to tell because of the camouflaged design that it's a face at all, but she tried.]

I've been looking all over for you.

[usedfaketears]

Don't think I could turn down a gift from a beautiful lady if I tried - I just don't got it in me. Especially not when she's been lookin' fer me...

[Though he's mostly teasing, he may sound a bit more serious than he really is. Seeing the Pokéball, he tilts his head to the side and smiles.]

So I take it your trip went well, then.

[saltwaterwounds]

It did! I got my sixth badge, and I caught my friends some Pokémon. I even caught one for myself, but I worked hard to find you something you could ride.

[She leans a little closer, looking at him expectantly. Why is he not opening it? That gorgeous Lassie Lapras (with Surf) is just waiting to come out!]

Go on!

[usedfaketears]

Now that's somethin' real considerate of ya ta do. I'll have ta make it up to ya real soon. A good meal or somethin'.

[But with that, he eyes the ball and opens it, as he's adjusting to doing on a more frequent basis. And it's pretty obvious from his expression that he's impressed.]

Talk about a looker of a Pokémon, ain't it?

[saltwaterwounds]

[That meal sounds tempting, but more importantly, LAPRAS. She's a beauty, right? She lets out gleeful cry at Sisuca, then looks over to Raven...well, it's his Pokémon now, and she gives an expectant look.]

It's a Lapras! She's big enough to ride, and I taught her how to surf for you!

[usedfaketears]

[Those old bones will be getting up to give her a few gentle rubs to the head. They are gonna be partners, after all.]

All that for me? Yer a real sweetheart, Sisuca. Real considerate of ya.

[saltwaterwounds]

[Sisuca is dubious about just how old those bones are, but whatever, whatever, do what you want. She's just going to move behind him, smiling.]

I didn't really find anything I liked, though, which is fine. I still have plenty to take care of.

[usedfaketears]

[35 is totally old, okay.]

That's a shame -- but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before ya find somethin' ya like somewhere else.

are they delicious raven-chan

[saltwaterwounds]

[Maybe! Maybe not! Maybe she should call him Papa, though....]

I have plenty, and it's more about the adventure anyways. You're moving pretty fast, though! You'll catch up to me in no time. ♥

so, so taastyyyyy.

[usedfaketears]

Now, I dunno about all that. Sounds kind of ambitious when I ain't been here much longer than a couple of weeks.

[saltwaterwounds]

Call it a mother's hunch, then! I'm not usually wrong about these things, [implying she is sometimes] you know.

[usedfaketears]

Don't think I've got much reason to argue with a lady's intuition.
