[Otacon reached Cherrygrove not long after getting a hold of Hakubi and reclaiming his glasses--dressed in the white kimono and red hakama he had been given upon arriving int his world, he wandered into the Pokemon center with Asimov by his side.]

[Upon catching sight of Liquid, he blinked once. Twice. Took off his glasses and cleaned them on his sleeve, then put them back on.]

...

[You may hear barely stifled laughter from this direction, Liquid. Maybe.]

[boldandresolute]

[Liquid glanced up and grit his teeth. Goddamn this work uniform. Goddamn it to hell.]

[God, why did he have to say this. Why was it in his job description to be polite and courteous.]

Tch... Welcome to the Cherrygrove Pokemon Center. How may I be of assistance?

[That was probably the most annoyed and least friendly greeting in the history of ever.]

[philanthrotaku]

Nice to finally see you in person, Liquid.

[Snerrrrrk.]

[Otacon returned Asimov to his Pokeball and took Hakubi's out of the sleeve of his kimono.]

Could you heal these two for me? Just...be careful not to open that second one. She's not happy.

[boldandresolute]

[You get the slightest acknowledgment.]

...Otacon.

[He took the Pokeballs from the engineer and brought them over to one of the healing machines.]

Any adverse conditions like poisoning or paralysis?

[He's all business at the moment, and God help you if you mention that he's wearing pink.]

[And here was a little girl pushing open the door to the Pokemon Center, looking around to see what she'd find. It looked like the entrance to the vet's office back home, so it was definitely the right place for Tadakichi and Tsubasa! Just to make sure, though, she came up to the desk to make sure....

[...but her head barely reached the counter.]

Excuse me, sir!

[ooc: hey I decided in another log she'd been here and I... totally missed this log being here. Have a tiny thing! also I am working two jobs this week so tags slow :/]

[boldandresolute]

...

[Did he hear something?]

[Liquid leaned over the counter to see possibly one of the most sickeningly adorable children he'd ever encountered. She was all... cute. And tiny. And were those really pigtails?]

[Shit what did you do with children again?]

...Yes?

((No worries! I know how it is.))

[brustriese]

Judging by how unhappy you look, you must be one of us and not a native.

[Sup Liquid. Signum here just got off her last shift waiting tables, and is giving you a sympathetic look.]

[boldandresolute]

Tch. Of course not.

[He seemed offended at the very idea that he could be a civilian.]

[brustriese]

People around here are a bit pushy, aren't they?

*hands over three Pokéballs for healing or whatever happens here*

Hopefully the next town will be a little more polite.

[boldandresolute]

A bit.

[He took the Pokeballs and put them into the machine, running a program to heal them.]

People are people wherever you go, in my experience.
