im on my way!!!

[And he is on his way, running towards the inn to meet up with Bruno. In fact, when he finally spots Bruno waiting, he runs up and hugs him. Narancia really did miss his friends in the months he's been here.

Nearby, a tiny, shiny Dreepy floats nearby, watching.]

I can't believe you're here! [He doesn't know whether to thank or call out Arceus for this.]

[Luckily, Narancia does not address that, mainly because he's just delighted to see Bruno again.]

You too! I've been here for months now, and you're the first person from the gang I've seen! [As much as he's been adapting, seeing someone familiar is still a delight.

Speaking of adapting, one thing did catch him a bit off guard when he arrived.]


Oh yeah, no one has powers or Stands here. They're just gone. [Narancia had felt kind of disarmed by that at first, even if he doesn't need his Stand here.

Meanwhile, Tartufo goes ahead and reaches forward to bat at the Skitty's tail.]

Good. [Hopefully Arceus won't yank him away again, but you never know with legendary Pokémon.]

It's really weird, not having Stands. I know we have Pokémon here and we can't die and all that, but it's still annoying. [He still has strong feelings on that issue. It doesn't impact his life here much, but Narancia didn't like how vulnerable he'd felt without most of his usual ways of defending himself and with no idea what was going on.]

Tartufo takes the bait, batting at Buttons' tail again with a delighted chirp.]
orangesmith: (huh?)

[He shrugs, apparently not entirely sure on the whole no dying thing in this place himself.]

I guess we just pop up at the Pokémon Center instead of dying if something happens to us. I don't know how that works, but that's what's supposed to happen.

[Narancia's never tested that out to see how true it is, nor does he want to. You'll just have to take his word for it.

Meanwhile, Tartufo chases after Buttons, easily drawn into the game of trying to catch her tail.]
orangesmith: (surprise)

[personal profile] orangesmith 2022-05-06 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's really weird, huh?

[Narancia would explain more about this place, but he's cut off when Buttons runs into his leg, pulling his attention away.]

Huh? Hey, look where you're going there! [He's not being mean to Buttons, he's just startled.

Tartufo, taking the opportunity, rushes to catch up and bat at Buttons' tail while the chance is there.]
orangesmith: (huh?)

[personal profile] orangesmith 2022-05-06 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Narancia watches the two Pokémon play for a moment as well, waving Tartufo off to keep playing with Buttons before returning his focus to Bruno.]

Anyway, weird stuff happens here all the time. Prom just happened, that's some sort of magnet for weird stuff every year and this time it was asshole birds, there was that time we got bodyswapped with our Pokémon, the giant Braviary that just showed up one day...

[In other words, there's a lot that happens here.]
orangesmith: (amusement)

[personal profile] orangesmith 2022-05-07 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's never boring. When nothing weird's happening, I've been going around to get badges from the gyms, I've got three so far! [He pulls out three badges to show them off with a grin, apparently quite proud of this accomplishment.]

Hey, what are you going to do now that you're here? [Narancia wants to know.]
orangesmith: (excitement)

[personal profile] orangesmith 2022-05-07 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice! [Narancia's excited to hear this.] There's supposed to be sixteen badges, plus an Elite Four if you collect all of them!

[Narancia, being Narancia, wants to see if he can get that far. He's confident he can, of course.]
orangesmith: (happy)

[personal profile] orangesmith 2022-05-11 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! [And Narancia's determined enough to push for those badges!

What else should he tell Bruno...]


Oh yeah, there's there two - Carly and Jolyne - who helped me when I got here with having somewhere to go and all that. They're living in the Sevii Isles, but I can go hang out with them if I want to stop travelling for a bit. [Yes, Narancia pretty much got adopted. Isn't that great?

...What's not so great is what Narancia asks next.]


...By the way, did you beat the boss? I don't know if you did or not because I was brought here in the middle of everything.
orangesmith: (boredom/contempt)

[personal profile] orangesmith 2022-05-11 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
...Damn it. [So Bruno doesn't know either. Then again, there was that pause, and Narancia's not an idiot, he knows that something isn't right with Bruno's reaction.]

What happened before that? I...the last thing I remember is saying that I wanted to go back to school, and then I was here. Were we getting close?
orangesmith: (desperate)

[personal profile] orangesmith 2022-05-29 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
What happened, Bruno?

[Something happened, and Narancia wants to know what. It doesn't sound like the group lost, but what exactly did happen?
