Roommate Partay!

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

Who: Everybody ever
What: OPEN LOG! ROOMIE LOG
Where: Your dorm room and beyond
When: From November 16-24
Warnings: Don't even get me started.

You heard the "what"! It's a roomie log! What does this mean for our dudes? It's a good way to build CR between characters who are meant to interact on a daily basis, but somehow you never really get the chance to stick them together otherwise, in logs or commentspam or whatever! Here is a good chance.

Before you start a thread, I'd suggest getting the okay from the other character's mun just in case. Basically, just add a thread with the room number (and date/time, if it matters) and take it where you will! Go crazy, do whatever. Story swapping. Bed jumping. Nail painting. Slug wars in sleeping bags. ~It can be yours, my friend, as long as you make a thread.~

Don't just limit yourself to one thread, either. If it so appeases you, you could hold a thread with more than just two characters (Man cave in BE-01), or if that one thread between your two dudes wasn't enough, make another one for a different time. Have fun, guys! Get ready to bug your roommates and next-door neighbors. BLOCK PARTY BLOCK PARTY and then the RAs kicked everyone out.

RUNNING. DOWN THE HALL. AT TURTLE SPEED. FOR RAIDEN.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

YOUR TINY TURTLE LEGS ARE NO MATCH FOR FLIGHT. Suddenly Zippo was no longer chasing him.

Because she was in front of him.

[gameraaaa.livejournal.com]

SCREEECH to a halt. Oh no she was too fast for him.

But is she too fast for BUBBLES TO THE FACE?


By the way, Raiden is standing behind the two Pokemon, bewildered.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

Well, okay, she's not THAT fast. She whacked at some of the bubbles with her leek and hid behind the conveniently placed human. Surely he would save her!

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

What is even going on that duck is trying to kill Gamera with an stick?

"What the..."

Gamera started yelling at his trainer and pointing at the duck. Angrily.

WHAT WAS EVEN THAT DUCK THING it looked like a... He whipped out his Pokedex.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

Delicious meal? That sounded very foreboding. And considering the way the Squirtle was talking to this human, he must have been his trainer. Meaning he was more likely to be on Gamera's side. Meaning the two might team up on her and share a candlelit delicious meal.

This idea didn't sit well with Zippo. She whacked the back of Raiden's knee with the leek and ran! Ran down the halls for the safety of her own trainer, who himself finally stopped making jokes about eating her!

The trainer in question was currently sitting in some unspecified part of the halls, replacing a bit of baseboard that looked like it might have been chewed on. By what, he didn't know. SUDDENLY, there was a duck in his lap!

"--Hey! You're makin' this kinda difficult."

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

Being whacked in the back of the knee usually didn't hurt but it was VERY effective for knocking one off balance with little effort. Raiden came tumbling down, hard on his hands and knees.

...that little duck thing just brought him down to his hands and knees. "Oof!" This was very embarrassing. "Why you little...!"

Gamera was very embarrassed, but at least his trainer now understood his plight. THE DUCK. MUST DIE. But... Raiden could go first though.

Raiden did go first, getting back on his feet and dashing after the surprisingly fast duck, down the hall and around the corner where he found it scurrying into Lighter's lap. She's after your balls Lighter.

"Careful! That thing just hit me for no reason, it's dangerous." The blonde warned, catching his breath.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

"What? Really?" He looked from Raiden to Zippo, taking on a stern tone. "I thought you were finally startin' to behave!"

Zippo gave an indignant little quack and burrowed into Lighter's vest. What a little troublemaker... Lighter sighed and set aside the hammer he was using.

"You sure you didn't touch her onion or nothin'? She gets real pissed about that for some reason."

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

"I didn't touch anything. She just ran up and hit me behind my leg."

Gamera started yelling again. "She didn't hit you first, did she?" The Squirtle shook his head vigorously, not about to be out-cuted by some duck and her onion of doom.

Raiden paused for a moment, as if coming to a realization. "Wait... Lighter, is that your Pokemon?"

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

"Zippo..."

But Zippo still played innocent, and pretended to have fallen asleep. JEEZ. How was Lighter supposed to stand up now? He grumbled a bit to himself.

"Uh... Yeah, she's mine. I was tryin' to catch the Kraken but the ball thing bounced right off and hit her instead. That turtle thing yours, or is it a student?"

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

"You were trying to catch that huge monster that lives in the lake?"

Gamera huddled back behind Raiden's leg, glaring daggers at the duck.

"Yeah. I got him over the summer when I went to Kanto. His name's Gamera."

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I've been tryin' to catch it for a while just fishin', but then I got the idea he might be one of'em Pokemons... turns out he isn't." ONE DAY, KRAKEN. ONE DAY.

"I've been hearin' a lot about this Kanto place lately. What's it even like?"

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

Raiden considered for a brief moment that maybe the Kraken WAS a Pokemon. "Maybe you just weren't using a strong enough Pokeball..."

As to his question, he felt awkward holding a conversation while standing above him so he got down on his haunches. "It's where all the Pokemon come from, I think. There's actually different regions, but I've only visited Kanto before."

Everything was Pokemons over there. Everything. "It's actually pretty nice but I wouldn't recommend going without a tour guide." He glanced at Zippo. "Or a Pokemon to protect you."

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

"There's stronger ones?" Man, this stupid Pokemon thing just kept getting more and more complicated. Contests, battles, badge things, sports, different kinds of Poke balls, something he saw on the internet about EVs or IVs or whatever that just gave him a headache... He bet raising something like a regular dog or even some cows wouldn't be half as complex. "I'm gonna stick to fishin', I think. That way I can put him back after. Zippo's real small and she's a handful as it is."

The "sleeping" duck jabbed his ribs with her beak. "Hey!

"Wait, are you sayin' I dunno how to protect myself? If someone's really goin' around out there blowin' up the forests, I wouldn't really want her out there anyhow."

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. All kinds of different types."

WELL. AS THE DUCK THING JUST PROVED Lighter was quite indeed vulnerable to being attacked by Pokemon. Raiden decided to not say anything about that though. "No, no just... it's really hard to travel around without encountering wild Pokemon everywhere. You can fight them or catch them."

Raiden frowned when Lighter mentioned the news--he didn't like the idea of these apparent terrorists running around Kanto blowing up Pokemon. What if they came here for some reason? "I hope they catch whoever was doing that."

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

Hey, he could totally handle himself! ...As long as there were no fire/bug types. AND THEN GEN 5 HAPPENED. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ulgamoth_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29)

"Yeah, me too. I... I'm kinda worried it's like what happened back at Tazmily." He frowned. What a bunch of sick bastards those Pig masks were. "Folks runnin' around blowin' stuff up, next thing you know weird chimeras are all over the place."

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

Tazmily? Never heard of. He could make an educated guess/assumption that that's where Lighter came from. "...chimera? You mean that mythological monster?"

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

"How come everyone keeps sayin' they're mythological? They were plenty real from what I saw."

Lighter had never heard any myths about them anyway! Or... Any myths at all. Tazmily had no myths, no legends, no folklore, or any meaning behind their few traditions. Besides there being something about an underground dragon? Something like that. Lighter didn't think much of it.

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

"Maybe they're... Pokemon too."

Maybe. Everything was a Pokemon. Raiden didn't know anymore.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

"I wonder..."

LIGHTER DIDN'T KNOW EITHER.
