winter was the season she always grew hesitant to call bleak. Artoria could not bring herself to find words that were ill-mannered — needlessly cruel, to the harsh weather. whether it was from sentimentality or her weakness, she was torn in choosing a reason. over the years, she had grown used to low temperatures, but the sight in front of her brings her chills. the market is no different from last time, and it brings her a bizarre sense of déjà vu. she had thought, perhaps foolishly, that something would have changed.

“Everything is still the same...” she wonders aloud. maybe the wares she had seen on her last trip were— the thought is halted immediately, she needs to ask the closest person before bringing herself down. “Sorry! Have you seen a bracelet with pink flowers around here?”

HONESTLY, HE'D BEEN COMING HERE MORE OFTEN. not that he's aware of his own brother's return to the city, but even so, he would likely still make his way here for these very reasons: a good drink to be had, especially free. glasses clink gently against one another as he shifts through the stock, one glass in hand, before hearing the sound of pattering feet walking toward him.

he turns, as if he were a child caught red handed, to take note of the little creature known as pikachu. ❝ Oh? And here I thought I was on my lonesome today, ❞ he chimes, clearly having gotten busted in some case. that is... if pikachu says anything, causing the captain to turn and squat down in order to better speak with him. hopefully he would be generous, one who could keep a secret, lest more headaches arise...

❝ What do you say? Our little secret? ❞

This time of year, not many people were visiting the parks. Probably because of the cold. TK preferred it like this, honestly— it was much quieter than going to a cafe and a lot closer than the library. Provided a needed change of pace from his room, too, for when he wanted to focus on writing but both himself and his partner needed some fresh air.

Said Digimon quickly grew rather bored though, silently sitting beside TK, despite how pleasant each other's company was. The boy was quick to notice this, of course. "Hey, Patamon. Don't go too far okay?" Implicit permission to go exploring— and the usual request to not go too far.

With a delighted squeal, Patamon hops off the bench and happily flies off in a random direction. It's after a couple moments of aimlessly flying around that the Digimon spots them— another small critter like himself! It looked a lot like another Digimon, actually, though he couldn't recognize the species.

There were a lot of Digimon, after all! It was impossible to keep track of all of them.

Patamon lands on a low-hanging branch, a safe distance away in case this Digimon (?) ends up being hostile. "Hello, hi! Who are you? I'm Patamon!" Patamon chirps, waving one of his stubby little legs in greeting.

a most welcoming smile graces his features, hand offered in encouragement for the animal to come closer, just a little more so he might be allowed to give it attention. whatever it is, the general hasn't seen anything quite like it; small, rounded, little red cheeks. yes, rather cute indeed... perhaps too much so. but the creature appears harmless so it shouldn't be a problem. the bird resting upon his shoulder also finds this to be curious, watching from its chosen perch. "are you exploring, little one?" he doesn't believe it to be lost, not when it seems rather familiar with direction.

"Whoa, hey," not a kid, but a little mouse. A yellow mouse (okay, pretty big for a mouse) that he hopped down in front of as multiple glitched closed in. It was kind of concerning, honestly, to see the glitched going after something so small.

Which likely meant this was someone else taken here against their will, so he should probably help.

"Let's, uh, getcha outta here, yeah?" His words flew out of his mouth quickly, fusing together into slang as he pulls out a dagger, slashing at one of the glitched as he stands in front of the little thing.

The issue being as his phone ticked, ticked, ticked, down, he didn't feel that same level of elation he normally felt. Instead, he felt concern prickle the back of his mind, at least, until,

FULU TAG

"Whoa-" A digitized scroll appeared, palpable to the touch once he grabbed it, and in a moment of remembering exorcists in Liyue, he slapped it onto the glitched.

Which...well, dropped.

"Ohoho." He chuckles, dropping his phone on the ground.

"Let's do this, little guy."

⠀⠀⠀IT ⠀was by sheer happenstance that Rin caught sight of the little creature, a brief blur of yellow among the throng of excited people. Honestly, she'd just been on her way home, but had stayed until after dark watching the various street performances. Maybe this... animal (?) would've been easier to spot in the daytime, but now, only the large bonfire makes it remotely easy to track.

⠀⠀⠀❛ ⠀You shouldn't be darting around in a crowd this big and rowdy,⠀ ❜ ⠀the mage chides, although she really has no clue if it's the type of creature to talk back. She sort of assumes so based on its two-legged walk, but after a brief moment of thought, she thinks that's a pretty moronic reason on her part. Regardless, Rin crouches down in front of them; just that one act at least helps keep the sea of people parted somewhat.  ⠀❛ ⠀You don't seem like you'd be that heavy...⠀ ❜ ⠀But how exactly should she go about whisking it out of here ? It's not a cat or dog, but maybe it needs to sniff her hand or something ? What Ward has creatures like this, and how did it get here ? Great, now she's getting lost in thought—

"Shit-" running after bipedal birds was not his favorite thing to do, especially when he was running on foot behind them. One of the babies under one arm as he chased down the adult he could see.

And something bright yellow - weird coloring for a thoma, but it's also weird for a herd to manifest out of nowhere and for him to get reports of the large birds flocking around the island. Grabbing the bright yellow one, he tucks it under an arm....

"Wait a second-"

"You ain't a bird-"

💭 summer because it's soon!

Send 💭 + a topic and my muse will tell you what they think about it. (ACCEPTING)

" Sun!! Heat!! Hot bods!! Blue skies!! Sun showers!! Beach!! Cold drinks!! Ice cream or shaved ice or whatever! "

" Seasonal neat stuff just in general!! What more do you need? "

" If there's one thing I've learned from a recent part of my life, it's that many truths can exist at once." jumbled and messy, the line tying them all together tangled in certain spots, but the connection still remains. this city is a place full of mystery undearneath the ordinary, that much is evident at face value. and for all that Diana has seen in her life, it would both foolish and callous to write off another recognizing her where recognition never comes for her.

she understands well, the loss of a friend and she needs not her powers to know there is a sadness to the one who approached her. yet there need not be.

lips pull into a warm smile as she kneels to the ground, hand extended outwards in welcome. " So, let me say this to you anew. My name is Diana. It is a pleasure to meet you once more, Pikachu."

⠀⠀⠀⠀// @lightoball | Fragmemoria: Part II

⠀⠀It's a scary thought, the idea that a precious memory has slipped your grasp without you even realizing it.To think that Rider spent an entire week acting as if nothing had changed, that nothing of note was lost... Even when the revelation finally came to him, it didn't quite impact him as much as he thought it would. In a way, that's even more concerning. He still hasn't found the ball of light housing his own lost memories, yet he hasn't given up his desire to correct this loss. There's no telling how severe or important these lost memories are... But, they're still part of what makes Achilles who he is. For better or worse, he can't just pass them up.

⠀⠀It is a little annoying that his great speed hasn't given him the luck to make this process easier. Every time he found a memory to see, he'd give it a quick touch for verification. Yet the moment he realized nothing in those visions could relate to him, he'd back off before taking in any private info he had no right to pry into. Today, a new memory caught his notice out in Cotes, but a familiar yellow creature had scurried into the picture seemingly out of nowhere.

⠀⠀⠀⠀"Well, well— fancy spottin' you again, buddy!" Pikachu, yeah— definitely not a lost memory. The floating orb won't be flying off any time soon, so Rider can afford a moment to chat. "Guess you're looking for these things too? Maybe your luck's been about as bad as mine— haven't managed to remember anything yet, myself."

[hetuvidya]

finding a spot with a good view by one of the bookcases, he browses through their contents, occasionally checking for any sign of trouble stirring. "no, too much effort and a waste. we'll just have to return another time if nothing happens." spoken quietly to avoid attention, lest he be the one causing a disturbance instead, and he'd prefer to remain a bystander.

"if not, I suppose we've both gained an acquaintance, at least." in this case, he doesn't mind since the animal is friendly enough and seems to be quite the curious one. people are an entirely different matter though.

oh! he wondered if they'd get lucky... or maybe it was unlucky? unlucky for the someone... to watch someone cause the problems that would get them thrown out. anyone who tried must have been fearless, or far too silly for their own good.

with the doorway open, he hopped inside, waiting for the human to enter as well before leaping up onto his shoulder, giving the Pokémon a good view of the entrance area. there weren't a lot of people around, but the building was really big, so maybe there were more in another part.

ϟ what do we do if everyone behaves? you aren't going to take their place, right? don't get hurt just because I'm curious, and if she's scary. —or, are you going to pay someone? humans do that to get things they want, right? ϟ

Condo Run-In ~ @lightoball​

It was a beautiful morning in the condos of the Archimedes ward. Unfortunately, Gyess was not quite as enjoying the morning as she could. While she knew this was to be where she dwelled, she struggled to feel comfortable. If one were to go to her room it would be in total chaos with all the blankets and pillows stuffed into the closet in a nest-like shape. 

She had been feeling very antsy the long she was in the space. She decided quickly she needed to go elsewhere, bolting out of the room on the way to the outside world. On her way, something caught her attention. 

A very small bright yellow colored creature. She had never seen anything like it, from her world or this one, but there was something about it that she couldn’t help but stare at, forgetting her mission. It was cute! She was intrigued by the nature of the animal, where did it come from? Did it have magic? It looked magical to her but she couldn’t tell.

It only took a few minutes for her to realize what she was doing. Embarrassed she quickly looks around the place and finds a spot to hide in. She dashes right to it attempting to hide from the creature, though she didn’t notice her tail was still visible. Hopefully, the little guy didn’t see her staring at him.

@lightoball​ said awake and in your room!

WHEN DID YOU GET IN HERE?

AHEM. NO BE COOL CATER.

ITS FINE

JUST BE FRIENDLY.

“Hi cutie- mind getting in for a pic?”

[splicermisraaks]

@lightoball​

Once again in strange territory, though he is somewhat accustomed to few areas, one rumour leads him to a place filled with celebration and plenty of activity. Could this be some tradition he failed to notice before? From the corner of his vision, something small catches his attention. Despite searching, Misraaks seems to have lost sight of it until finally spotting the familiar child running around.

The Kell moves quickly, making use of his teleportation so as not to lose the young one again. In front of the little creature, he crouches and carefully lifts Pikachu from the ground, up onto a shoulder. “Little one, you're still here? It is good to see you again.” Returning to full height, he moves out of the way so he cannot obstruct the busy humans. Perhaps he shall take the small one for a short wander and watch the events unfold from a safe distance.

§ Ok, I'll tell Eiden. §

§ He's a very nice human. He will like your Diluc Ragnvindr too, I'm sure. §

How to conclude this? Ah, yes. Kyubey walks up to Pikachu and gives him an affectionate nuzzle with his head.

§ Take care and don't die before tomorrow! §

ϟKyubey, I'll remember to pass it on! I'm Pikachu and my friend is called Diluc Ragnvindr.

neither of us are fussy, I think, but we like smaller meals. fruits are really nice, and he really like grape juice. we'll thanks you and Eiden lots for the food.ϟ

@lightoball​

He was perfectly fine to pass on the festivities this time around, that is until hearing word of a ball happening. So how could he possibly say no to a little fun? And that leads to now: Pikachu resting on an arm, Rain holding a little paw between his fingers. Sure, it may look a little funny to some but there was no way he could miss taking his little buddy for a dance. “I have an idea! Why don’t we check out the food when you need a break? I spotted some tasty treats you might like.” They could have a small feast and get back to dancing after a short rest.
