JUNE CATCH-ALL

Who: Flowey, Shoka, Possibly YOU!
What: A meeting, a reunion
Where: Oran Berries Spire and Training Grounds
When: Nebulously June
Warnings: Added as needed. Likely discussion of nightmare coma.


a. do or do not (for flowey)

[This body frustrates him more than he'd care to admit, as if Dark Heart is in the habit of admitting to anything. It's small and fallible and, what's more, doesn't have the capabilities of power that he's used to. All in all, it's made him rather disinclined from trying. What few quests he's taken on have been ones he can coast, watch the others do the heavy lifting while he reaps the rewards. Any effort toward bettering himself physically feels like admitting defeat, that this is all he can ever be. Dark Heart has been sticking to observing the other Pokemon as they train, watching as if above it all (god willing).

Today is different. Today he's trying-- a deeply embarrassing, shameful venture. To exert oneself is to prove that you care, just enough, and that's something no one should see. Dark Heart is practicing under cover of night, trying to land a heavy blow as consistently as possible. If he does this enough, it might just look like this came easily to him.

So it perhaps vexes him to go from Watcher to Watched. By the time Dark Heart realizes he's not alone, he's fallen face-first into the dirt.]


You-- [Cough, spit--] show yourself!

b. a familiar face (for shoka)

[If anyone's been spending a great deal of time near Dark Heart the past month, they might be shocked to realize that his bed is empty. Some Pokemon might not care (good for them), but other Pokemon just seem to give a shit after all, don't they? Funny!

Maybe said Pokemon is there to witness Dark Heart stumble back into his den, shaky on his feet. Or, perhaps, they would find him stumbling down the hallway, leaning against the wall for balance. No matter how you slice it, that Nickit is awake.]

[It quickly becomes apparent that he is not going to get back to sleep, so Beetlejuice sits up and smooths the fur on his head back with a paw.]

I was doing some soul-searching in the woods. You know, real deep stuff.

No, no, you see I have to share my wisdoms with the rest of the pokeymans now.

[He waves a paw.]

Things like, if a tree falls in the forest and no one's around, does it make a sound? It does. The other trees laugh at it. Also don't wipe your ass with poison ivy.

[One ear slowly lifts as Dark Heart lays on his false praise. Beetlejuice can be gullible, but he's not that gullible.]

Too late for that, pal, that shaggy dog already begged me to join Oran.

[His ears flip backward.]

Whyyyyyy are you so investeeeeeed, do you like me or something?
bugbeverage: or are you just happy to see me? (is that a sandworm in your pants)

[personal profile] bugbeverage 2025-06-30 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Delighted that he's struck some kind of nerve, he puts his front paws behind his head and starts doing a weird "dance".]

YOu don't like aaaanything? Are you suuuure?
bugbeverage: (addressing the audience)

[personal profile] bugbeverage 2025-06-30 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Well in that case, you won't mind me taking your bed. You didn't like it after all.

[He flops down into it and gets COZY.]

[Honestly, Beetlejuice just assumed, because why else would he have said something to him?]

[ He's on his back when Dark Heart pounces, so he throws up all four paws in defense. ]


MAKE ME!

--OOF!

[Dark Heart moves faster than he can in his exhausted, wilderness-starved state, so he isn't able to scratch him in the face before his paws land on his stomach. He does try to bite him on the nose though. ]

Finders keepers, losers suck!

[He flips himself upright and spreads his paws out so that each one is on opposite corners of the bed. Dark Heart is bigger than him, but he's stubborn as hell. There's probably a perfectly good bed on the other side of the room, but he's got a bad mood to take out on someone and it just happens to be Dark Heart. ]

Kiss my weasel ass, nerd!
