What was this place?

Kieran had never before left the comforting embrace of the forest. To see the trees entirely absent, replaced by these strange, perfectly rectangular... caves? It was... disquieting. The paths were full of those peculiar two-legged creatures, casting him odd stares and jostling against him as they hurried to wherever their destination was. It was so different from the forest in every single way... a part of Kieran couldn't help but wonder if someone he had wandered right out of the mortal realm entirely. It was starting to make him nervous; he felt oddly exposed without the cover of the trees all around him.


He... he needed to get out of here. Wherever this was, he wasn't ready for it. He pushed his way out of the crowded sidewalk, bounded out into the road. His hooves scrabbled for purchase on the oddly smooth surface, but if there was one thing Kieran could do, it was run.


[OOC: I am setting aside a thread for WHUMP, CARFACE and also one for the infirmary. For the rest of the log, Kieran will be exploring this wondrous magical place called the school. Feel free to post your character anywhere -- cafeteria, dorms, in the shower -- and Kieran will just... butt on in to say hello.]

Someone with no antlers calling me a boy? That's pretty funny, don't you think?

[YEAH THAT'S RIGHT. Anyway, here is the world's most awkward, squirmy window entry. He smacks down onto the floor like a sack of potatoes. Dynamic entry goooo.]

[oceanshaper]

[He's just gonna sorta... watch him tumble in all gangly like.]

Maybe it would be, if I didn't already know for a fact that I am older than you.

[enduringheart]

I bet! You're a spirit then, aren't you? Seventeen springs must be nothing to an immortal.

[And up he goes again. He heads over to Ky's desk, leans over it, and... starts sniffin' ol' seaface.]

So exactly how old is older than me? Can you do any magic?

[oceanshaper]

[Kyogre flushes a bit from the close quarters but doesn't show any other outwards signs of being embarrassed. He sets his book calmly down on the desk.]

Since the Earth started?

[No tone of arrogance in this voice, just stating a fact.]

I think my brand of magic works best in the water, guy.

[enduringheart]

Wow, you're that ancient? You must be a powerful one! You smell really interesting, too -- not quite like anything I've ever smelled before, anyway.

[So interesting, in fact, that he's apparently going to keep hanging out awkwardly close. Apparently personal space is not a concept that deer herds have developed.]

It must be hard to be a water spirit here, though, isn't it? I'm still exploring, but I haven't seen a single sign of a stream.

[oceanshaper]

Well, there's a pool and a lake, and I can make it out to the sea whenever I like. Hey, you got a name, kiddo?

[enduringheart]

Of course I do. It's Kieran. How about you, spirit?

[oceanshaper]

It's Kyogre. Oh, look, both our names start with "K".

[enduringheart]

[NUOHMYGOD. Water spirit. From the dawn of the earth. Named Kyogre. Kieran kinda smacks himself flat against the desk, then realizes that is the Worst Bow Ever, and... just... comes around so he can properly go down on his knees. This is most definitely not awkward at all, Kieran, way to go.]

You mean all this time I've been speaking to the Rain-Bringer himself? How incredibly dense! I should have known the realm of the gods would house beings like you!

[oceanshaper]

[Oh my god that really was... a display. He blinks at Kieran smashes his face into his desk, and brings a hand up to his face at the boy skitters around to bow.]

Ahh, the Rain-Bringer? That's pretty groovy, didn't know people were still calling me that. Come on, you can stand, you're gonna make me blush.

[He leans down a little bit more to the deer's level.]

Hmm, you must be a Pokemon then, right?

[enduringheart]

[THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING. The gods are so unbelievably modest this is so inspiring. He gets up falteringly, half because oh my gossshhh standing in a god's presence is this really okay?? and half because balance is really hard when you're new to being a biped.]

Absolutely! I'm only a humble Sawsbuck, nothing so great as a being like you. Wow, but you look nothing like I expected the Rain-Bringer to! I thought you would be positively massive.

[oceanshaper]

[Shrugga shrug.]

I'm much bigger in my natural form, but even then I'm kind of small compared to some of my extended family.

Speaking of...

[He's gonna reach out and touch you. On the shoulder.]

Tell me, Sawsbuck Kieran, where did you come here from?

[enduringheart]

[OH GOSH GODTOUCHES. He is pretty sure that this makes him a saint or something.]

From the mortal realm. More specifically, I'm a child of the forest. I saw a spirit that had some kind of power over a fellow Pokemon, and I followed him to this world.

[oceanshaper]

[Yeah just gonna... ignore that he thinks this is a different world. It'll be like Santa Claus. How does Kyogre know who Santa is]

Oh, you saw a trainer. I see.

[enduringheart]

A trainer? Is that what these two-legged forms are called?

[oceanshaper]

Yeah, they're humans. Some humans train Pokemon. You should be careful, there are a bunch of them around here, too.

[enduringheart]

Oh! Yes, of course, I'll be very careful of getting... trained?

[Blaaaank stare. This is not a concept he is entirely familiar with.]

But... what is that, exactly?
