❀ 3rd Weed in the Garden - Action ❀

[shamelessness]

[So what if it's cold today? That won't stop Shiemi, or her new partner Skarmy. The two are determined- Okay, maybe more so Shiemi than the metal bird, but nevertheless they are both out training today. On the edge of the forest a teen girl and a two to three foot metal baby bird can be found practicing moves. So far Taunt and Drill Peck are the only ones Shiemi has recognized.

Before lunch they walk together around the plaza to take a break, and finally about an hour after noon the pair will head to Community Building One. Maybe she can ask Rin to make them lunch. He makes her dinners often enough, but... it's her Birthday. Today she'll want to indulge in his cooking instead of her usual guilty acceptance of her kindness. ...She should learn how to make edible food one day, really.

And that's it. She doesn't make this day a big deal because... well when your world is just your house your birthdays don't tend to be big anyway. Plus: how does I birthday with friends?]

[As they walk around the plaza, Rogue catches a glimpse of them out of the corner of her eye and--

What.

The heck.

Is that.]

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi sits down at the fountain as the skarmory hops up. She (the skarmory) admires her own reflection in the pool of water. ...The pokemon is a bit vain.]

[touchofrogue]

[...uh. Yeah.]

Everythin' all right over there?

[shamelessness]

H-huh? [She looks at Rogue, and then at the skarmory.]

Of course! Um, why do you ask...?

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue hikes her thumb in the skarmony's direction.]

Giant monster?

[shamelessness]

N-no! She's my pokémon.

[Skarmy turns to give Rogue a look. It used Leer. Is your defense lowered? Probably not.]

[touchofrogue]

[...no.

No, it is not.]

Your what?

[shamelessness]

Pokémon. I'm her trainer.

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue whistles through her teeth.]

Well. Now I've heard everythin'.

[Seen an elephant fly...]

[shamelessness]

Eh? Really?

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue shakes her head.]

Nothin'. Nevermind.

[It's not her business to tell this girl that pokemon were made up in her world.]

[shamelessness]

A-anyway, it's nice to meet you! My name is Shiemi Moriyama.

[touchofrogue]

Rogue. Nice ta meet you too.

[shamelessness]

Are you enjoying your day today, Rogue?

[touchofrogue]

[What kind of a question is that?]

Sure.

[...]

What about you?

[shamelessness]

[touchofrogue]

Well... [okay, enough weird conversation] Then you two keep havin' good day.

[shamelessness]
