October Catch-All

Who: Kinger, Cedric, and You (especially fellow Oran Berries?)
What: Kinger coming to terms with being a Pokémon in Bottlecap Bay
Where: The Spire (plus anywhere a Wildcard takes us)
When: Early October
Warnings: At least amnesia? I can't think of any others right now.


1. Right Behind You

Yelling from the training rooms is sometimes par for the course for the sound of exertion and combat. What probably is less common is short screams of varying tones.

Anyone who investigates will find Kinger, circling a training dummy while making short yelps and screams, attempting to Astonish the dummy. He sounds like he's starting to get a little hoarse, but he is singularly focused on the dummy and doesn't notice when you approach.

2. Sea Seeking King

Despite having a body that, for the first time in decades, probably needs sleep, a few nights in to his stay he can't. His newly tiny stature gives him the luxury that few others in Oran housing have, which is to sneak out without waking his roommates. Probably.

He wanders his way outside to stand at the cliffside, feeling the cold spray of saltwater from the ocean. He laughs to himself quietly.

"It's real. I'm not in the circus anymore."

He sits near the cliffside, just enjoying the delicate feeling of salty autumn air that nothing in the digital world could possibly replicate. He lets off a faint glow, making himself visible to anyone else restless tonight.

3. Wildcard

Feel free to hit me up with any other ideas for my little mushroom man! I will also be throwing any prompts we discuss elsewhere under this.

[ Ingo's something of a mainstay in the Oran Berry training rooms! He doesn't do a great deal of his own training here - fire isn't best suited for enclosed chambers - but he's found that his advice can be helpful for those new arrivals that used to be human. There's only a few of them with a human's perspective on Pokemon, after all!

This isn't a species he recognizes. Astonish is familiar, though. ]


Hello! Are you one of the new arrivals?

[ Ingo is. Like a million times Kinger's height, boy. ]

So Mightyena showed Cedric the Spire, of course, and said something about "low-rank" housing... but the Murkrow hasn't exactly checked out the latter yet. He's much too busy accustoming himself to this landscape very unlike his Enchancia.

...Well, the cliffs are up high, that's almost like his tower if he squints hard enough. But that's about where the similarities end.

Point is, he's instead hopping all over the place, occasionally flying to hard-to-reach places when he feels brave enough. He's just flapped down from the rooftop of Oran's main building when he lets out a sharp gasp, because Walt help him, he almost landed on somebody-

"Merlin's mushrooms! ...Oh, that is a mushroom. Uh, I knew that."

He adjusts his feet and smooths out his feathers. It's fine, right? It's not like the mushroom's another of these "Pokémon" who just witnessed him embarrassing himself...

Akechi isn't exactly a warm or comforting person. However, the sound of screams was impossible to miss, especially as someone who frequents the training area. Thus, after a while, he flutters over, dropping a glass of water.

"If you're so set on screaming, you may want to stay hydrated."

"Mind company?"

The voice behind him sounds fairly young (teenaged, perhaps), though it comes from a Pokemon well taller than Kinger. Umemiya's a Lucario, one with a green scrap of cloth holding back his aura-sensing tendrils like a sort of headband. Umemiya's restless enough to be sort of walking the Spire and its surroundings tonight instead of sleeping.
