The promised sun

[thalassino]

Oh my, it seems some new additions have been made to the bubble. This is truly the kind of occasion that calls for investigations.

But perhaps first, you would like to stop by the Station Master. A bit of an odd name for a man without a station, but lets be honest here, Elevator Master just doesn't have that same ring. He will invite you happily

STATION MASTER

[thalassino]

[dependabull]

[Peeking in here... After all, one shouldn't step into a new area without knowing what they're getting into.]

Um. Hello? Sir?

[thalassino]

[And the Station Master is just happily bustling around his small little house, the sounds of a kettle coming from the small kitchen.]

Hello, lad. Do come in. Just making myself a spot of tea. Would you care for some? Or perhaps some hot chocolate?

[dependabull]

[At least the man seems pleasant enough. Tavros can handle friendly people. Mostly.]

Well I don't... mean to make you, feel that you would have to, treat me as a guest. Or anything. I just, had some questions that, uh, you seemed in a suitable position to answer.

...Though hot chocolate does, sound nice.

VILLAGE & BEACH

N | Open To All

[singularjustice]

[ Perhaps N should have waited for someone else to go up with him. However, it seems he decided to make the trek up alone. It is so quiet up here, and lonely. He had been hoping for animals. Still, the sun is nice to see...

If someone comes to the harbor, they may notice the boy letting a large turtle out into the water he has waded into. Then he removes another Pokeball, and releases...

Is that an eel? He crouches down in the water to speak to it. ]

You can go home now, if you want, instead of staying cooped up.

[lunateclock]

[Sup N. Then there's a quiet protag crouching and watching the eel swim in little circles.]

...It seems happy.

[singularjustice]

She is... it's nice for her to be home again.

[ Though N cannot help a selfish sadness, having to let another one of his friends go.

He stands up as the eel flits away through the water, moving to where Carracosta is soaking. ]

I know this isn't home for you, but if you want to stay here, you can.

[ Already he has kept this team of Pokemon far longer than any other group, and used them for many more battles. This was their chance to get to go do what they wished, even if it could not exactly be called releasing them back into the wild. ]

HARBOUR & LIGHTHOUSE

[thalassino]

OPEN LIKE AN OPEN THING

[nos_servabit]

[Jacob is probably the happiest man alive right now.]

[He isn't exactly jumping with joy over here, but the wide smile on his face as he looks around at his surroundings shows that this is something he's appreciating very much. This place wasn't his, it was true, but it was like returning home.]

[And home is something Jacob loves very much.]

[So, he'll just be here next to the lighthouse acting like a hipster because he's done all of this before looking around at the place with wide blue eyes.]

[nightknighted]

[Have a cloud of bats reforming next to you.]

You look happy~ This place is beautiful.

[nos_servabit]

[He smiles up at Johnny, really looking like the kid who got a real live pony for Christmas.]

Of course I'm happy.

[He shrugs, as if he can't find the words to adequately describe how much he loves this place.] It's like coming home. This feels like home.

NORTH FOREST

[thalassino]

[Open]

[beyondimagining]

[Will had quickly felt himself drawn to the northern forest. It was peaceful and familiar, here. He slowly makes his way through the forest naming the virtue of the trees he recognized to himself as he went.]

[SELPHIE IS OPEN TO ALL KINDS OF ANNOY/FUN]

[dystopiadreams]

*Selphie had made her way slowly, oh so slowly, towards the forest. She'd removed her boots and carried them, cradled, in her arms. The shock of this place was almost too much for her.

She walked slowly through the forest too, enjoying the feeling of the grass against her feet. Maybe only psychological, but it felt good. She isn't far into the forest when she drops her boots and spreads her arms around a tree, burrowing her face in its bark*

/Comes to annoy

[slum_mercenary]

[She's sitting against a tree, her head tilted up as if she'd been sleeping against the tree, but her eyes are open and looking at Selphie, amused.]

I've heard of tree-huggers, but that seems a bit much.

SOUTH FOREST

[thalassino]

Open!

[contemptibility]

[So guess who's a pro at jumping across the tips of trees awww yeah-

EXCEPT OH GEEZ THAT BARRIER.

So sob yes. This would be Tiir being violently thrown back with a cry and landing rather painfully on the ground. Ow-]

Damn it...

[Attempting to sit up now sob.]

[lunateclock]

[He was honestly just wandering, taking in the sights, looking up at the sky which he'd honestly thought he would never see again--

And then he hears that cry and blinks, running to go see if someone maybe needs help...

...Oh. He'll just be hurrying closer now.]

Ah-- Tiir-san! Are you alright?

[contemptibility]

[... Why him-

He just. Takes in a breath and hoping it doesn't sound pained, before letting it out.

... Though the fact that he's holding onto his side probably makes it pretty clear that no, he's not exactly perfectly fine.]

What are you doing here?
