[OPEN] fight fight fight
Who: the Ring-Spirit, various others (maybe even YOU?)
What: meetups for sparring!
When: throughout May
Where: small forest clearing in town outskirts
Warnings: possibly violence? it's "just sparring", but different folks may value safety vs winning to differing degrees,,
[ The Ring-Spirit has been feeling the need to work on his battling capabilities ever since he helped rescue Smoochum back in March... and the disturbing discovery made during Tangela's more recent rescue only made the importance of combat practice more clear.
So! He makes arrangements during the month to meet up with various other pokemon to spar - not on the coast (CERTAINLY not after hearing out Tangela), nor too deep into the forest, but just outside of town enough that they won't have to worry too much about the uninvolved getting caught in the crossfire. ]
[A] - Meeting as Arranged!
[ If you previously agreed (in person or over pearl) to meet with the Ring-Spirit to spar, you'll find him already waiting at the location when you arrive. He perks up on seeing you. ]
You want to stretch or something first, or get right to it?
[B] - Who You??
[ If you're not someone he's expecting to meet up with, but you linger long enough that he starts thinking you're seeking his attention, he'll be a little ruder. He has plans! ]
...Yeah? What do you want?

He manages to stop himself after a moment though, sucking in a deep breath and holding it as he tries to will himself calm. This is... yeah, if he's thinking it's weird, Emmet is probably totally lost. He should probably... explain. As best he can. Before either he or Shoka end up biting the poor guy. ]
...I do not. appreciate. commentary about... my composition. The... the. dis..guise...
...And fuck if I know why, I've never cared about not being my body before! It's gotta be some kind of pokemon thing.

[ Like, for example, what he's learned about his breed of Zoroark— but he's hardly the only instance of such a thing among ghosts. ]
So it makes sense. That you might have new compulsions and strong feelings about things that you did not have before, I mean. Working around it, though...
[ He's going to rearrange himself a bit, getting a little more cozy as he settles himself back down under the tree and tucks his paws in, but Emmet cocks his head a little. ]
Spoken directly to you? If I were to say, write something in the dirt, then let you read it while I was somewhere else. Do you think it would be as much of an issue?

I'm not sure... I suppose we could always give it a shot. I don't recall the records in the Archives instigating emotional reactions from me. I wasn't focusing too heavily on Mimikyu facts, but I must have looked some stuff up...
[ If nothing else, writing the comments down and then leaving the area would mean if the Ring-Spirit did have an outburst that there'd be no one around to get caught by it. ]
