if I wrote the pokedex, I'd put staryu and starmie together

[Despite it being April, the weather is still quite chilly. The wind is blowing, and it's still too early in the day to have really warmed up. To top things all off, a very light drizzle is falling, just enough to dampen everything and everyone under the sky.]

[That all being said, it should come as no surprise whatsoever that Red is sitting outside

[red hey red!

heeey red whatcha doin?

can we look over your shoulder and see?]

[tradefor100more]

[Sure! It's nothing particularly exciting, just a horribly mushy love story, but Red is finding it strange and fascinating. He finishes reading the passage and closes the book with a finger in it to keep his place, looking up at Kris with something close to a smile. Hey, us-cosplayer, what's up?]

djhfgj sorry for taking forever!

[timecapsuled]

[Not much, not much! Though it does look like you've got something up. She points to the book after returning his not-smile with her larger one.]

What's that?

's fine~

[tradefor100more]

[Oh, this? Red holds up the book so she can see the cover if she wants. Just a book he found.]

[And you'll get all the O_o faces you want from this boy - primarily because of your choice of clothing against the weather, you idiot, but Green notices the book as he approaches to rant and rave at him.

It's probably some dumb book on training.

Actually, why does a training book need a nurse on the cover? Unless it's about healing Pokemon. Maybe that dumb Pikachu finally kicked the bucket.

But that's not an appropriate title for Pokemon health.

What are you reading]

[Red hardly notices Green approach and continues reading, but after a few moments he looks up, sees him, and signs 'H-I', putting the book down in his lap.] ...? [What's with the face? He doesn't get it; is something wrong?]

[givespoisonoak]

...The hell are you reading?

[tradefor100more]

[Red shrugs, like he's not really sure himself, and holds the book up so Green can see it. Why are you giving him that look?]

[Pssh, who cares if it's cold? Dawn ain't gonna wear no coat! That's for lamers. Unless they're awesome coat wearing Dawns of course! She's near the beach with her top percentage of Torterra, Mophie. Clearly it is the greatest experience ever getting to run around with him.

When spotting Red who's glued into that book of his Dawn will trot on over out of curiosity. Cue waving!]

Hey! What are you reading there?

[tradefor100more]

[Red looks up and gives Dawn an awkward little wave back. He closes the book, keeping his place with a finger, and shows her the cover. There's totally nothing weird about this.]

[lovinghero]

[Dawn will examine the cover before tilting her head to the side. Whoa, so he was reading a love story. How romantic! Maybe a cool caped super hero pops out to save the nurse in the end...how cool.]

Oh, is it any interesting? I never read a love story before!

[tradefor100more]

[Red has to think about that for a moment. Is it? It's a little odd how much the book focuses on things that don't seem to matter, and it's written in a strange way, but... it's intriguing. He shrugs and nods.]
