Earning her keep

Who: Akari and any poor sod who crosses her path.
What: Akari is here to prove her worth to Bottlecap Bay. Whether you like it or not.
Where: Bottlecap Bay
When: Sometime during April (all of it)
Warnings: Swearing, the traumas:tm:



Some people (or, well, Pokémon) would take a day or two to adjust to having their bodies shaped into something new and thrown into a new location. Maybe take a moment to adjust to any weird dysmorphia about suddenly having no fingers or being a sentient bag of garbage (which, let's be real, isn't a change for some people.)

Akari on the other hand started to work. Someone needed a berry delivered from point A to point B without being eaten somewhere in the middle? Akari was on it. Needed someone to go tell their kid who was playing dangerously close to a ledge to stop it? Akari was already there. It didn't matter; it seemed like the moment someone looked mildly uncomfortable, the Cyndaquil was already there trying to fix an ill or find something.

It would be impressive if it seemed like she took a break. Or if she didn't seem like she was just sitting in traffic waiting for a light to turn as she listened to whatever someone needed. It was also obvious she was also trying to make sure the task was done 100 percent, even if she checked back in with the person like she was throwing a cigarette butt at them when she was done.

That was just the nature of her. Sometimes you might see her resting her feet for a second or two; other times you might see her waiting for someone or something to appear to give a message or deliver something. Or sometimes, she might stop and stare at you for a moment before asking if you needed help.

"My Potion- Are you talking about My Chemical Romance?" Anasui asks incredulously. He's too bewildered to be insulted.

"I'm just having a quiet moment. Am I not allowed to stand here?" Anasui leans down to stare at the Cyndaquil. A child, he imagines, given her attitude. "You're not helping. If nothing else, you're being a nuisance."

"Because you're the paragon of maturity," Anasui says, narrowing his eyes. He raises his head a little bit, once again elevating him over Akari.

"Acting nice? Seems to me like you're harassing people for your own self-fulfillment."
dripdrive: (annoyed)

I'm so sorry he's like this.

"... They wouldn't." Anasui's never even conceived of that problem.

He absolutely would get into a maturity battle with a teenager. However, Anasui doesn't need to stand for the insults. This is a waste of his time...

He rolls his eyes and starts walking off without another word, fighting off from groaning as his headache hits him again.
