Impromptu Oran Sleepover

Who: Oran newbies
What: Having fun with communal dens
When: Sometime after Mightyena gathered them up
Where: The Spire, low tier dens
Warnings: Will add if anything comes up, but not anticipating anything

[As everyone knows by now, the Oran Berries depend heavily on communal living, sharing a bed is simply to be expected. For some, this experience was temporary. Mightyena was kind enough to lend the mysterious misplaced Pokémon a place to rest, but now some of them have moved on.

For others, this is now a part of life, and it's time to get used to it. The Oran Berries value treating everyone like friends and family, after all, so you're expected to do the same! Why not have some fun with it?

Whether you've noticed your fellow newcomers are all gathering in one den, or you suddenly find yourself dragged into the the party against your will, everyone is invited! Everyone's going through the same thing, belong to the same guild, you gotta stick together.....right?]


[[ooc: Feel free to use this as a mingle log! We have nine Oran Berries (I think???) and although the dens are said to hold up to eight, I think some members are small enough that we should be able to include everyone!]]

Was wondering when you'd call me out...

[Bummer! She sighs lightly.]

Fair enough. Gimme another truth, then.

[Settling his head onto his paws, getting cozy.]

What do you really think about all this? [Nodding to the room at large as he says it.] Pokemon, guilds, teamwork. Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like your idea of fun.
telewarped: (We're so close to success)

Hm, that's a tough one. [She studies her claws.] The Pokémon part's been kind of a mixed bag. Some of the stuff I can pull off in this form is pretty sick, and the battling's even kind of fun sometimes... But my whole body was a steep price to pay for it.

[Everything was a steep price to pay for it. None of it has been enough for her not to prefer the thought of just being done instead.]

As for the teamwork thing... [She glances around the too-small den at its cramped beds and the huddled-together forms of her guildmates, and snorts.] Yeah, can't say that being crammed into this dump with all you losers is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of fun... Way too chummy around here. And like I said, I'm not exactly popular. Definitely not the hardest worker either. No clue why anyone would even want me to join their little clubs in the first place...

[She thinks of Mightyena and Ribombee—how both of them had fought for the right to have her in their guilds. Like it was some kind of privilege. Like she was worth something. That was bizarre—but it made her feel kind of good, too. Almost the same way she'd felt when the Shinjuku Reapers first took her in.

She looks sidelong at A.B.A then, and some thought she experiences then changes her tone from flippant to almost solemn.]


... But I dunno. I guess having people to rely on doesn't sound so bad...
