Test Drive Meme - July/August



Welcome to sunny Alola! The sun is shining, and it is July! Which means it is the warmest, most tourist-y days of the year! And that means it is fun in the sun and there is plenty to do. As the summer days are out and the Pokemon School has yet to officially begin its school year, let’s give you some orientation prompts for the area.



1. Arrival
You’ve just arrived! While not an ideal prompt for your test sample, it makes for a good testing for your first reaction here! Having fallen, gotten off the boat or plane from another region, your passport is stamped and processed. If you’re a Native, there’s plenty to see, and can go about your day. But if you’re a Faller, there’s a tour guide waiting for you. Just hold on tight!


2. The Sandy Beaches

Perhaps you’ve had the time to acclimate yourself to the area, and just want to relax now. It’s time to relax in the sunny beach, throw yourself onto the sand and surf, and just chill. You’ve had a long,tough time, and now just want to sleep. Or maybe you’re too excited! This is another world, or another region! Perhaps you’ve been planning this trip to Alola for ages, and now its time to play! The choice is yours!


3. Shopping

What’s a trip to Alola without shopping. There’s food, accessories, more food, clothing, and tourism. Ride some Pokemon, find some things to do. Eat some malasada and shop at Aina’s Kitchen and Team Rocket’s Honey Donuts. If you want to escape the heat, there’s always the mall.


4. Pokemon!

Of course! Pokemon are everywhere. And maybe your Fated Encounter is upon you now. The Tapus are urging a Pokemon to come to you, be it in an Egg format to make its way into your hands, or perhaps a bird or a bug or whatever. Somewhere, a partner is waiting for you, you just have to meet them. And then, perhaps, you will be able to make friends! Just remember in this world? You don’t catch Pokemon -- Pokemon catch you.


5. Travel

There’s plenty to see on Melemele even in one day. There’s a lot of places to travel even by foot, and a lot of room, even in this place. There’s forests, hills, the town, the smaller suburbs, and beaches, an island off the coast, and the honey field even within walking range. Take time to explore and get to know the place, you may be staying for a while until the Ultra Guardians can send you home.


6. Battle

What is Pokemon life without Battling? Now that you have your Pokemon, you can battle with them. But Pokemon battles aren’t just about training but about forming a bond. There’s no such thing as levels in this world, the level system isn’t really a thing here. Sure there’s math and science to count the precise numbers of a Pokemon’s strength but we don’t dwell on this sort of thing. What’s important is forming these bonds with your Pokemon, and learning how to communicate with them, making precious ties with them. Eat, sleep and cherish them as your own family. Manalo, and Ohana. No one is left behind, or forgotten.


7. Freeform

Anything Goes! Come at you, this is a wide world, make up your own prompt!

shopping

Kaiba's first order of business, beyond cursing whatever powers might be at this inconvenient intrusion into his life, is to change his wardrobe. Long trench coats and turtlenecks don't exactly suit the island climate. He ruffles through clothing racks, huffing at bright print after bright print.

"Is there anything reasonable here?" he growls, after tossing another cute pair of Squirtle swim trunks aside. But he's soaked in sweat and needs to find something fast.

pokémon/beach

He eventually settles on a blue vest and black wetsuit, and heads out to the beach. Not that he's interested in joining the group fun, but it's where most seem to be gathered and he needs to know what he's dealing with.

There, he finds a slug-like creature wilting in the heat. That was...a Goomy? He'd learned the name in researching all local dragon types and immediately dismissed it as a weakling, but the poor thing was clearly out of its element. Well...it would be rather unpleasant for the beachgoers if it died, so Kaiba kneels next to it and digs a shallow pool in the sand.

He walks up to someone with an umbrella, frowning. "I'm borrowing this---" Sorry not sorry. He's planting it to shade the little pool.

travel

Later, he takes what little money he has to the food court, where he partakes the strange selection. There are plenty of vegetarian options, of course, strange colas, and even onigiri---or is it?

"Jelly filled donut? This has to be a joke."

Goomy will happily eat it, though. He slithers his way onto Kaiba's lap and slurps it right off his hand, leaving the human to shudder. Just his luck.

[OOC - You'd have to mention them in your tags though, ofc!]

Someone gave Reira money. Probably the same someone who gave her clothes that aren't completely falling apart, though somehow they match the...tablet? On her arm.

It...looks like a tablet anyway.

The point is, someone handed this kid cash and said Go Get Food.

The tall guy isn't a fan. But the Goomy seems Thrilled.

Therefore-

"....is..a donut, a 'candy'...?" She asks, quietly and somewhat hesitantly.
blue_ice: (fist clench)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Kaiba looks up at the voice. As he considers the answer, he withdraws a damp cloth from his bag to clean his hand (life with Goomy requires it).

"It's a sweet pastry. So not quite, but it's sugary if that's what you want."

He frowns at it. "But they don't normally look like this."

[personal profile] soft_focus 2019-07-11 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Umn... ...I liked the candy Shinji gave," she half explains, trying to sort out if she wants the thing she barely has the adjectives for. "...so...if candy is sweet, then...I guess?"

She seems genuinely focused on this matter. But, also-

"...what do 'donuts' normally look like..?"

Oddly, she's actually had a sweet shaped like a donut before.]
blue_ice: (locked heart)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I take it you don't eat a lot of them."

That's unusual. Must've been raised by strict parents...or worse, possibly. That possibility keeps him from dismissing the question outright.

He tugs out a napkin, delicately wipes at Goomy, and traces some of the jelly into a traditional ring donut shape.

"Like that. It's the texture of a cake...have you ever had cake?"
soft_focus: (extra 10)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2019-07-11 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
"It was the first time," she 'confirms, nodding slowly. "Umnh...that was...a few days ago?" she determines after some mental math. "..."

She's going to ponder that ring donut though. "Mnh- that looks like one of the candies... ...I don't know if one was a 'cake' though."

This is getting a little concerning.
blue_ice: (could it be)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely from a strict environment. Kaiba gave her a look that masked some level of concern.

"Look, if you want to try it so badly...Wait here."

Goomy is going to attempt to slither over and say hello in the meantime. Watch the slime, Reira. But soon enough, he returns and offers her a triangular donut.

Holy hell that voice! Even if it was laced with contempt, he could recognize it a mile away.

Skidding around the corner, Ash exclaimed, "Brock! Oh... you're not Brock. Sorry sir, I thought you were someone else!"

He definitely didn't carry himself like Brock, but there was something similar about the man, like he was seeing something about the rock-trainer in him. Was his eyes playing tricks on him?
blue_ice: (Default)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Kaiba doesn't react immediately to the unfamiliar name, but he's pleased enough that the kid has manners.

He feels a twinge of longing too. The kid's about Mokuba's age, and he's ferrying around a Pikachu. Kaiba makes a 'hm' and inclines his head.

"I don't know this Brock, but I'm Seto Kaiba. You're a local trainer, I take it?"

Goomy answers (or so it seems) by happily slurping on his donut.
acmellash: (Default)

[personal profile] acmellash 2019-07-11 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
The voice was similar, but he carried himself differently. And yet, he had this big brother kind of feel to him, just like Brock. "Kinda yeah, I'm Ash from Pallet Town, in the Kanto Region. I'm on Vacation here but I'm attending the Pokemon School. We're on break right now for summer but for the time being, we'll be starting up in a month or so."

"Pikachu," replied Pikachu, hopping off his shoulder and cheering at Gloomy.

"This is my buddy Pikachu, we've been together for years now throughout all the regions."
blue_ice: (heh)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Goomy responded with a delighted squeal, sliding forward in an attempt to slime himself all over Pikachu. Kaiba reached forward, trying to gently nudge his Goomy back.

"And this is Goomy. He's too friendly. I apologize."

He attempted to slide over to Ash next, and Kaiba was quick to grab him.

"Is enrollment open?"
acmellash: (Default)

[personal profile] acmellash 2019-07-11 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"It is, and there's an adult class. There's a lot of advanced sciences and maths that I don't really get, since it's stuff Professor Kukui is better at than I am," said Ash. "But he's a Pokemon Professor and there's a ton of math just about Pokemon study alone. A lot of things that I don't get like formulas and STAB and IVs and then there's Biology where you have to learn about nutrition and things like that, and I've been learning a lot. Pokemon Religion was last semester and we did a huge report on the Radiant One too."

Shopping - Nadeshiko

[personal profile] nadenagi 2019-07-11 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
The young girl giggled a bit. He certainly was tall, wasn't he? She was tall herself - for a twelve year old girl - but she doubted she'd ever be as tall as this guy. But he did seem to be having trouble. "Did you want some help?" she asked giving him a warm and friendly smile. She herself had found a lovely pale purple undress with an obi like belt. Her Chara was resting in the Obi, watching out at everything, but of course he couldn't see that. She wore knee high boots that laced to the top with small bows, and a pretty ribbon bow holding her high ponytail together. At the very least, she was good at shopping and putting together nice outfits.

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Normally he'd quickly say 'no' and shuffle to the other side of the store. He'd certainly find something on his own, thanks. But he'd been at it long enough that he could...ask, perhaps.

"All right, then. What would you suggest?"
nadenagi: (Nadeshiko secret smile)

[personal profile] nadenagi 2019-07-11 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, that depends on what you are looking for," she said with a warm and friendly smile.
blue_ice: (looking down)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
"I prefer professional styles, and not to look like a clueless tourist. No obnoxious prints. Suitable for the weather. Other than that, I'm open."

He turns to the rack---he's looked at simple polos, basic shirts, all manner of summer wear....he sighs.

"How long did it take you to find that?"
nadenagi: (Nadeshiko OTS)

[personal profile] nadenagi 2019-07-11 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Not long," she said with a smile. She had suspected as much, when it came to what he wanted. "But this isn't the store for the look you want. That's why you're not having good luck. I think I found just the place earlier though. Just a few shops down. It is a bit more expensive, though." With that she headed for the door of the shop, moving as graceful as a world class dancer, because that was very nearly what she was. And she worked hard to infuse that grace into every motion. "I'll show you."

"Excuse me, what?" she asked, pushing her glasses down her nose as he took her umbrella. Nope. That wasn't happening. She hoped nimbly to her feet, disturbing the two charas who had been napping invisibly beside her. She stalked over to him, hands on her hips. Even in her black two piece she managed to look impressive and angry. "That happens to be mine, and I will have it back." Some days it was hard to remember she was no longer a villian, especially as her devil Chara settled in on her shoulder.
blue_ice: (blinded)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
"You will, when this Goomy is strong enough to be moved to the forest."

He points over at the poor Goomy wasting away in the heat. The shallow pool he's put him in helps some, but the creature still needs some help.
utauhoshina: (Seriously)

[personal profile] utauhoshina 2019-07-11 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
She twitched and was about to say something scathing when the small invisible angel landed on her other shoulder and started scolding at her. She rolled her eyes then went back to her stuff for just a moment before dragging it all over there to settle into the shade on the other side of the umbrella. She wasn't going to burn because he thought that stealing her umbrella was the only way to save... whatever that was.
blue_ice: (locked heart)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2019-07-11 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Kaiba shrugs a shoulder. She wants to park there with the little gooey Goomy? Fine. He ends up sitting in the little pool in his wetsuit, the creature soon curling up on his lap for some extra shelter. It's so...slimy...

He's going to need a long swim after this. The Goomy eventually starts to revive, crawling to the pool's edge and blinking curiously at her.

"Oh look, he's saying hello."
utauhoshina: (Ticked)

[personal profile] utauhoshina 2019-07-11 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Do I look like I am particularly interested in greeting what seems to be an actual slimeball, slimeball?" she asked archly.

Her little angel chara however floated down to start happily chatting with the pokemon.

[ Kaiba gives the woman a look-over. His own coat isn't quite so hot, but close enough that he can sympathize. ]

I might have to look into commissions at this rate, if I can find a tailor willing to work with a newcomer. Paying them will be the hardest part.

Same here, being a Faller kind of sucks. I seriously doubt that the shops will accept Munny.
