He'd heard of this Inn. It was a legend almost among many in the East Blue and perhaps all of the seas. An Inn that offered entirely neutral grounds, thus a safe haven for any that where looking for a place to rest. Where it didn't matter who you were or where you'd come from as long as you followed the one main rule. No fighting.

And after weeks of being chased by marines, he was in the mood for a good long uninterrupted nap. Even he could admit when he needed rest after all. His body aching from the over-exertion he'd put it through.

Following the rest of the crew into the Inn he shifted course as Nami and Usopp headed towards the main counter. Opting instead to all but collapse into a couch near the main fireplace. The heat from the flames a perfect balance of flickering warmth that already had him wanting to lean back to close his eyes and just sleep.

A fact that had his body melting into the soft cushions as he shifted his swords at his side for more comfort. Unbuckling them and holding them across his chest as he let his head fall back. Waiting for the others to figure out the room situation.

Mismatched eyes watched him from The Kissing Booth. It was difficult to keep the shock off of her face. Of all the people she could've seen in the carnival, she'd never expected him. Her expressions gave away her thoughts, the corner of her lip pulling back in a silent sneer.

Location: Faux Folie Status: Open

If it had been a year ago, Oz would've been in the middle of that fucking ring. Digging in nails, grabbing at necks. Small and quick and tripping peoples' feet from under them. He would've obliterated them. So he's angry. Not at anyone in particular, just... pissed. He knows there's a roster of combatants, so he stays upstairs for a bit. Gets another drink, and parks his wheelchair out where he can smoke another cigarette. Get some air. "Got anything stronger?" He dares to ask, looking at the flimsy cig between his fingers tiredly. "Or a gun?"

Adoption

“So... apparently someone was attempting Project Chimera Mk. 3, and I partially found out because apparently they somehow got my notes on making combo settings. While it has resulted in some new stuff that’ll help make sure that I won’t need to be as worried about Sento using any of his combo’s for too long, there is another issue. There are a whole new bunch of animals that need to be taken in... So I was curious if you were interested in one.” He said, hoping he didn’t make a bad choice.

I wanted to make a cleaner summary of last week's classes and also review the classes I have this week since the material is already uploaded beforehand but I was feeling so horrible throughout the day that when I sat down I was just gonna look at the ones for tomorrow but I think I'm just gonna go to bed because I just gave my little numbers game a few tries and not even the joy of tribial elementary school-level math games is bringing my brain cells and/or full sentience back

A PART OF HER WAS DEFINITELY NERVOUS, but she knew proper feedback would help her so, SO MUCH in the long run. For as much as she appreciated all the love and support that the other villagers would give her... it was almost as if she could do no wrong in their eyes. And honestly, it dismayed her as time went on, especially when she actually wanted some proper advice for something.

And so she had been THRILLED, when they had offered to actually watch her sing and dance. The little girl having eventually shared her little dream of singing and performing to her guest that day. Whilst they chatted and ate a humble yet delicious meal of rice and stew at her little home... A simple conversation of one another's' going ons would somehow lead to this, and honestly Itsuki couldn't be happier at this rare opportunity!

Needless to say, there was most certainly A LOT that she would have to work and improve on. With the little one's SINGING going OFF-KEY more than handful of times, and her DANCING being almost NO DIFFERENT to how she ran and FOUGHT ON THE BATTLEFIELD itself... Needless to say, she was anything but graceful.

... but that was why she needed their honest opinion! And suggestions on what she can do after this to make it all better! Itsuki had been working on all of this all on her very own, and had little to no aid, save for a few stray songs and performances she'd been so lucky to hear or watch of others...

Ending her musical number in a little TADA! pose, Itsuki was noticeably out of breath by the end of it. Already quietly noting to herself that she would take off her arm and leg guards BEFORE performing next time. And as beads of sweat rolled down the sides of her flushed face, Itsuki couldn't help but beam with pride. Proud that she had FINALLY tried out this very special little thing of hers that she had planned for quite some time-- to someone who would be honest with her.

"S-So... whadya think? An' be honest, now!"

Eddie || Open Starter || Mutuals Only

Eddie's been on high alert since running from Reefer Rick's place, seeing another horrific death play out right in front of him was bad enough but now he can be sure the town is out for his blood. He'll be blamed for that one at the boathouse too, he figures, and for the first time in a while he's regretting accepting his place as the outcast. It had become a point of pride over the years, unsettling the townsfolk for his own amusement had seemed like harmless fun but look where that's got him now. If only he'd been more normal- If only he'd just taken a normal job- If- If- If- The spiralling thoughts are cut short as he hears movement through the trees, making him duck down into a patch of bushes while holding his breath, praying to any deity who might listen in hopes he won't be spotted. Sure, he can run but he doesn't know how much more he has in him and if he's caught? Well, he's pretty sure the police will be the least of his problem. The townsfolk are out for his blood and he has no reasonable explanation for what had happened.

Sunset Sonar

Closed starter for @auragifted

Perhaps he seemed slightly out of place on that boat--a very tall and willowy young man dressed all in black from his boots to his slacks to his simple shirt beneath an opened silk changshan with very subtle swooping and rolling patterns like waves woven into the fabric that billowed softly in the ocean breeze along a few loose strands of his extremely long and straight hair of night which had braided in an intricate pattern, the occasional small bead of silver or white jade dotting the darkness like stars. A couple of tourists had already whispered that he must be one of those goth types, but that he was certainly strange...because who uses an umbrella on a perfectly clear day?

Yin, apparently.

Weird foreign tourists, man.

Not that he minded any of their comments. Being on the ocean at sunset? That was prime time for Yin and he enjoyed watching the marine life in the distance. Now, his presence on that boat had been no mere coincidence, oh no, there was another passenger on that boat that had been the subject of many whispers spoken to the shadows. And it was just that individual who Yin found himself standing near at the rail. Occasionally, he stole a silent glance but mostly said nothing, nothing that is until finally he glanced at the man's wrist and spoke with a quiet tone almost lost within the sound of the waves.

"Interesting tattoo."

Progenitus the Hydreigon

Art of the above Hydreigon was created by myself, for myself! Full name: Progenitus (More details under the Readmore)

  Individual Head Names, left to right      -White: Gideon      -Blue: Jace      -Black: Sorin      -Red: Koth      -Green: Garruk At MOST times, Progenitus will be addressed as such, since, unless he is totally relaxed, all heads work and act together as one unit, essentially a hivemind, mainly under Sorin's direction. Progenitus is almost NEVER fully relaxed unless he's alone with Tanis and the rest of her team, in someplace he's comfortable with. For other trainers or Pokemon to see the heads act individually is horrendously rare. Species: 5-Headed Hydreigon Level: ??? Size: Big McHuge. An average human can faceplant onto the fluffy parts of his chest.So...2 to 3 times bigger than a "standard" Hyderigon? Nature: Aggressive. Hostile. Violent.     To be saved as a last resort or in dire situations. History:     Progenitus did not start off as creature of malice, but he DID start off a little... Different. Tanis discovered him as a Deino as she was strolling around Unova, and he was at the brink of death. He hatched with polymeia, having two extra legs that did nothing but hinder him at all times, so walking was incredibly difficult, let alone hunting for food. Plus, his ravenous attitude and severely off-putting appearance managed to chase away any who had enough sympathy to even try and help him, human and Pokemon both. Excluding Tanis, who not only saved the poor dragon's life, but she helped him trained. Despite all odds, he grew. Gained weight and strength over the years, and he evolved. He still had those two vestigial limbs as a Zweilous, but, given more tender loving care... He evolved once more.     Suddenly he found himself free of his burden. Those useless legs turned into two extra, fully functional heads when he evolved, all equal in strength and intelligence. And he was angry. He was IS magnificent, and if not for this one, practically feral human who cared for him so tenderly, so diligently, he would have perished. He did NOT deserve that. He deserved to be cared for. Hell, he could have been like this many ages ago, he could have a territory of his own and  rules all beneath him. But no. He was treated as a freak. And now he's everyone else's problem.     However. He is 100% loyal to his trainer. His entire body can and will stop on a dime as soon as the word leaves her lips. He sore to always keep her safe, to keep her happy and healthy, as she has done for him.Everyone else though...? If not for Tanis telling him to hold back, hundreds would have fallen to his ruthless assaults. Moveset:    Every head can use Dragon, Dark, and Normal type moves. However, each individual head has access to 3 other types exclusive to it.      -Gideon: Fairy, Electric, Steel      -Jace: Water, Flying, Ice      -Sorin: Ghost, Psychic, Poison      -Koth: Fire, Ground, Rock      -Garruk: Grass, Bug, Fighting   All access moves: Dragon Pulse, Draco Meteor, Outrage, Dark Pulse, Nasty Plot, Crunch, Hyper Beam, Hyper Voice, and Giga Impact.   Individual moves: Dazzling Gleam, Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Scald, Aeroblast, Ice Beam, Bitter Malice, Freezing Glare, Sludge Bomb, Flamethrower, Earth Power, Power Gem, Energy Ball, Bug Buzz, Focus Blast. If you think that this is too much, and want to compromise/ make possible changes for an RP, this can be arranged, you just have to let me know. Progenitus was clearly made and designed to essentially be "Final Boss" strength, but I fully understand that he smashes nearly every law of Pokemon out there. I do love him, and i want to use him, but not at the detriment of others. Fun Facts:      -Yeah he's a walking Magic the Gathering reference. He is based off of this card,

and every one of his heads is named after a Planeswalker. Sorin is the only one not monotype mana, and he's the only exception because I like Sorin and the name.      -Progenitus was MUCH softer looking in his original art.

    -None of Progenitus' extra head/necks look like arms with a muppet head attached to it. They all have the same basic serpentine neck, with all of the supporting heads looking like the main one.      -I'm not 100%sure if the fluffy bits of a Hydreigon are supposed to be fur or feathers, so I went with both. Progenitus is covered in both beautiful scales, and protofeathers. His feathers are basically a mixture of emu feathers and quills. The base/ "undercoat" of these feathers is that pink that you can see through his coat.      -His wings ARE the same color as his chest, they're just darkened in the reference image to make them fade into the background a bit more.

" Yes ... Yes , it might have very well been that . Apologies . I assure you that I'll be back in to work first thing in the morning tomorrow to compensate for anything I'll have missed for today . Yes ma'am , I'll be sure to head home immediately to get some proper rest . Please pass along my best to everyone else there and my sincerest apologies for any inconveniences . Thank you , goodbye "

Ending the call with his supervisor at the Alchemy Commission . Laying his phone to rest within his hand basket next to his books . Shuichi kept his tone even as he spoke , his tone of voice calm , composure relaxed as he seemingly walked about the streets of the Xianzhou Luofu without a proper destination in mind with a hand basket in tow .

While he'd originally planned to spend the majority of his day in the Alchemy Commission to both further his studies , and to continue his work . His plans had changed the moment that he'd begun to feel her eyes burrowing into his back no matter how often he'd attempted to throw her off his course .

Blending himself in within the moving crowds of people , even other foxians in case she was making use of his distinctive physical features to spot him out from the others , taking what he knew to be the " long " ways of getting around the Luofu that required a number of turns , and twists to see if he might cause her to make a mistake in her pursuit . As well as to verify ... if he was her point of interest or it if was perhaps was purely coincidental . The latter becoming more unlikely as her presence persisted , his ears registering the sound of her heels clacking against the stone tiles of the walkways underneath them as she both kept pace , and her distance from him . Though he willed them to remain still , not at all twitching or remaining too stiff to suggest that he was aware of her .

Remaining aloof yet remained his best defense for the time being .

When he'd first spotted her , he'd not made a show of it , albeit ... he'd recognized her face almost instantly . It was hard not to . While it wasn't often that wanted posters from the IPC flashed on holographic displays aboard the Luofu . The Stellaron Hunters were far more than just the run of the mill typical criminals . A soft smile , and a small wave as he walked past her . Nothing different than what any another resident of the Luofu would offer to anyone that could be considered a tourist or " guest " aboard the Luofu .

Shuichi had even gone as far as to deliberately avoid taking any pathways that might put him within the range of attention of any Cloud Knight Soldiers as they policed the streets they walked in case it would prompt her to take action if she suspected he'd caught on to her ... but still , she continued to follow .

At this point , there was no doubt in his mind that the stellaron hunter was intentionally seeking him out . Therefore , he had no intentions of leading her to his place of study within the Alchemy Commission if was her aim to use him for information , or anywhere near his home ... which was why as he boarded a nearby large passenger star skiff , it's destination bound towards another district aboard the Luofu . Far away from anyone he knew , he'd taken out his wallet , passed along an appropriate amount of strale to ensure he'd be given a private booth .

A smile given to the staff as his ticket was given , and he found his way to his booth aboard the large passenger starskiff . A sizeable space with enough space for at least four passengers to sit in with overhead bins to store valuables , and other carry on luggage such as handbags .

Taking his seat , setting his basket down beside his tail , the foxian removed his sun hat , pulling out one of his text books from his basket and beginning to read from where he'd left off during the night before . Thankfully , given his tendencies to stay far longer past his set shifts at the Alchemy Commission to ensure he was no longer needed as opposed to being required to be there , coming up with a believable excuse as for why he couldn't report in for today had been quite easy .

While he didn't like the idea of inhabiting an area where others might potentially come to harm depending on how the situation unfolds , it was also best to depart from any areas that may contain cycranes . Both the visible that carried cargo to and fro ... as well as the unseen ones .

Now ? Now all that he would do , would be to wait ... wait and see what next steps Kafka decided to take .

𖤓°⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ now that riley had made amends with her friends , and hockey camp was coming to a crawling close , joy watched the memories filter their way to LONG-TERM , and even she couldn't help but sigh in relief that the worst had passed , and the best was yet to come. the sense of self glimmered and glowed as their little girl drifted off to sleep , and soon enough : the other emotions were headed off to wind down too. they needed to be up bright and early for pick up with mom and dad , after all !

❝  oh ! hey , anger — d'ya think you could wait up a minute? ❞ she asked , tapping the red emotion on the shoulder. ❝  i just wanted to thank you for yesterday. or , yknow , now the day-before-yesterday — apples , bananas ; potato patat-o - ❞ she snickered and shook her head. ❝  but i really mean it. riley would be lost without you. ❞

❝I've gotten quite used to the rude remarks of the local children over the years,❞ Emmett says after a weary sigh at @unbearablyindifferent, but what he isn't used to is somebody willingly coming to his defence. Parents, when present, will usher their children away with pointed looks and none-too-quietly-ushered remarks of stay away from Doctor Brown, perpetuating the cycle to the next generation, but most others are content to glance over at the spectacle and continue on walking.

It makes doing anything that involves inserting himself among the general public for too long near insufferable at times. Kids will be kids, as the old adage goes, but really.

Emmett waves it off, looking none too ruffled beyond the flash of annoyance that has since eased back into his usual expression. ❝Though every now and again, there's something new that surprises you.❞
