foolishwren: but carving "DIE QUICK SUCK DICK" into a tree instead of "CROATOAN" (disappearing like the roanoke colonists)

I Can't Believe It's Another Hisui Catchall

Who: Heather Mason and YOU!
Where: Hisui
When: July/throughout the event
Summary: A catch-all for Heather Mason, who can be encountered doing various things and saying various swearwords under the cut.
Rating: PG-13 at most
Log:




GENERAL INFO: During her time in Hisui, Heather will be a rather tatty bandit's outfit (she was late getting to the table with all the clothes), some cozy boots, and a blue cap. Heather's new starter is a Hisuian Growlithe who she has creatively named "Twojo" (her actual starter is a Growlithe named Cujo). Over the course of the event she will be catching a shiny Pikachu (!!) and a MYSTERY THIRD POKEMON I have not decided on yet.
She is very tired and not particularly happy about the possibility that she'll never get to see her other Pokemon ever again, but for the sake of other people who she's assuming probably feel the same way, she's at least trying not to be a complete vibe-ruiner over it.


PROMPT A: General Campground Presence

One of the few things that actually help get Heather's mind off of the less-than-ideal situation is keeping busy! When she's not actively exploring, she'll be fairly active around the campground, primarily in the form of keeping the firewood well-stocked and patrolling the camp's borders with Twojo (and a nice hefty stick, in case Twojo's barking doesn't do the trick) to keep high-leveled wild Pokemon from demolishing everything.

As a hot-water-enjoyer herself, she will also be readily volunteering Twojo's firey breath to help keep the showers nice and warm.

Maybe you're joining her on these ventures! Or maybe you desperately need to wash the stank off and there's nobody else around to heat the water for you. OR MAYBE you found her sacked out by the campfires after a long day of roughing it and are in the mood for some conversation.


PROMPT B: Training and Sparring

Being an otherworldly "old-timer" at this point, Heather is used to RARELY having to worry about encountering a problem that can't be at least adequately dealt with by whipping out a level 100 Pokemon.

Needless to say, suddenly being stuck in the untamed wilderness with NOTHING but a measley level-20 Pokemon? That's like... a baby. NAY, a zygote. And she doesn't like that, no SIR. By sunset on that very first day, Heather has thrown herself into vigorous training with Twojo, hoping to stack some levels onto this pup before they have the bad luck to encounter something they can't handle.

Which means she is looking for folks to engage in friendly training battles with! She can't be the only one who's in a hurry to toughen up their new friend in case things go awry.

On that note, she won't say no to friendly sparring, either. When they're all in one place like this, maybe it's a good opportunity to meet some other folks who are into that kind of thing. You never know when you might have to jump in and just punch a wild Pokemon in the face yourself.


PROMPT C: WILDCARD!

You got another idea? COOL, go for it! You can also ping me on Plurk for plotting if you'd like to brainstorm!

"That's... that's really hard to have to do."

To say the least. Surviving on your own. Trying to get by without any kind of support. That's - well. The concept at least is familiar enough, even if there's likely no way his experience would mirror Heather's. Just the survival aspect.

Maybe a bit of the horror, if he knew.

"I'm sorry," he says, quietly. "I know it - probably doesn't change much. You've been here longer than I have." And likely away from ... what she's talking about. "Still. Can't have been easy to go through."

What ones do you have back home?

[Mando knows that some people have been in this Pokemon world for a long time, and that it's become their home. He doesn't share that sentiment--his kid is still somewhere else, and Pokemon world will never be home until he knows Grogu is okay--but he's been surprised at how much he misses his team, being here in Hisui. Ball is great and everything, but they haven't known each other that long, and they haven't bonded in the same way.]

I haven't been here long, and my team is small. Always up for getting pointers on which Pokemon to look out for.

[Both to avoid battling and to consider catching.]

There really isn't anything else to say to the apology, he knows it. He's said the same thing before, and probably will again. He shoots her the briefest, faintest smile before returning his gaze to somewhere in the middle distance during the quiet.

She can take her time. He's here to listen.

"Yeah," he agrees. "Weren't ever really something I liked. But you'd have to live under a rock not to know them."

An Absol, huh...

[Since that's the one she mentioned more than once, Mando focuses in on that.]

It's a type of dog?

[He'd look it up if he could, he swears!]

Are there any you've found that are surprising? Either in how they start or how they evolve?

[Please tell him about the glory that is a Magikarp, Heather.]
singlespacedad: (???)

[personal profile] singlespacedad 2022-11-09 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[HELL YES HE'S GONNA LEARN ABOUT MAGIKARP]

Yes.

[Mando's tone implies that he doesn't think much of them.]

We thought they were food at first.

He looks at her, with a bit more surprise than expected. The expression slowly shifting into sympathy, concern. There's not much reason for the latter - Heather's doing okay for herself, she's been here longer than he has. And he's already doing a lot better. So...

"Yeah," he admits, finally. And pushes his hands through his hair. "Yeah, that. Really does." A beat, before he adds, in true Shiro fashion: "Also gives me an idea of how you punched me out of a nightmare."
shiro2hero: (no really i don't get it)

"Nah, don't be."

There's a smile of his own, sincere, though it's a little small. "You got me out of there. That's all that really matters."

Shiro's quiet for a bit, after that. He really doesn't blame her for it. By now, it's more like a funny story to remember than it is anything to hold a grudge over.

"So you're out of a horror flick... I'm from a science fiction."
