[open log] everyday she's sheeping

[fluffyhearted]

Who: Maisy and YOU
What: A sheep is wandering the school, being nosy.
Where: All around campus.
When: November 25th - December 3rd OR EVEN BEFORE AND BEYOND. WHENEVER.
Warnings: Her wool is static.

[ Smash Academy, so much has happened lately. A murder. Blind dates. A woman on a murderous rampage because of a result from said blind dates.

But life must continue, we all must go on. So you're hanging around, you're doing your thing. Maybe you're in the library, maybe you're at the training grounds. Do you have a particular thing you do?

Sure, it's cold, but maybe that doesn't stop you.

It certainly doesn't stop a funny looking sheep from sticking her rubbery nose into all the places around campus. Even the one with doors in the way!

So, share what you're doing. Maybe you're just sitting there reading, maybe you're standing around in a hallway. Maybe you see a funky sheep and stop and gawk because why is there a sheep wandering around ohgod it's looking at me--

Whatever it is, be sure of this, dear Smash Academic...sisbros.

Maisy will find you. maybe ]

[ Oh, what a precious little darling. What a sweet sheep, so full of energy and love and care. N could tell he was going to adore her already. ]

I must wonder if you are from the academy. To be here, I would believe so... but ah, I should introduce myself, as well. My apologies, friend. Please, do call me N. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[ He reached a hand out, but upon feeling his nerves prickle beneath his palms, he stopped short. Her wool was full of electricity, wasn't it? Better be careful... ]

[fluffyhearted]

[ From behind her tail top bulb did give a soft glow as she moved on the spot, signifying the increase of electricity building. Maisy, she never gave it any thought; it was a natural thing to her that she never had to consider, thanks to her rubbery skin.

But this human- didn't he speak so very nicely! Lots different from Gold's voice, Maisy thought. But N? 'Eeen'? That sounded fun to say. ]

Ma, mareep, mareeeep ma! [ I'm Maisy, name is Maaaaiiiisy, friend! Even if humans never understood her, she did like to introduce herself whenever introductions were given. ... which wasn't much, but she liked having a name, since it was what Gold always called her.

Once her little introduction had been given, the Mareep moved her head out to his hand. Did he want to touch her? She didn't mind being touched. ]

[idealisms]

[ Aw, how cute was she!? N wasn't about to just scoop her up and squeeze her lights out, but he couldn't deny that it was tempting. He brightened as much as her tiny little bulb did, reaching a hand out to stroke her head softly, being careful as to not get zapped. ]

Maisy... [ He smiled kindly. ] That is a lovely name. Do you have a trainer? Did he name you?

[ Hopefully it's a very nice human. ]

[fluffyhearted]

[ That was okay that he didn't; since N was being so nice to her with a stroke on her head, she warmly loved him in that way. Gee, this guy sure was nice!

But when he said her name, said it just the same way that Gold did, Maisy stopped nuzzling against his hand and looked up at him. Maisy, Maisy? Did he just say Maisy? ]

Maa? Mareep? [ They were more sounds of confusion than words. But- oh, maybe she should answer his question and see what happens! ]

Mareep, mareeeeeep, ma- [ Gooold, trainer friend is Gooold! Maiiiisy friend! ]

[idealisms]

[ Oh, Gold! Yes, N knew him! They carved pumpkins together! That's perfect! It sounded as if Maisy had a very fine trainer then. That quelled any worries that might have built within his system. ]

Yes, he is my friend, too. He is a fine boy, isn't he? He seems to take good care of you and his other friends.

[ He paused for a moment, and then he reached for his bag, shuffling through and producing a few different Pokeblocks. ]

Tell me, which flavor do you most prefer?

[fluffyhearted]

[ Wow, he knew Gold too? And the rest of her friends? Maisy's wondering why she never met this person sooner. He was definitely turning out to be a curious human.

-- but curiosities could wait once those little blocks came out. Was he really offering her one? Maisy poked her head to sniff out the different cubes. Then, when finding a smell she liked, she prodded at it with her nose before looking up at him. ]

Maaa. [ That one, that. But just poking it and looking at him probably didn't help, so she poked it again.

And a pink one fell onto N's lap. ] Maa...

[idealisms]

Oh--! [ He felt the Pokeblock drop onto his leg and roll off to the ground. Ahh, that wasn't good! He couldn't let her eat dirt. That could be dangerous for her health! ]

How clumsy of me! I am sorry. [ He scooped that pink one up and handed her a couple more. Those hadn't touched the ground, so they weren't going to be contaminated. ]

Here. These will do, right? They are all sweet.

[fluffyhearted]

[ Oh, but Maisy wouldn't know the difference! And she doesn't know why that one has to disappear now - but much more of those pink ones come out, so she doesn't give it much thought. All those, for her?

She gave a happy maaaa at the offering, then bent her head in to chew into the blocks in his hand. They were as he said, all sweet, and she found their taste delicious. Sorry N, don't mind Maisy as she eats from your hand. ]

[idealisms]

[ My, my, she did seem very hungry. N wasn't about to mind a little bit of sheep drool lacing his palm. (Ew.) As long as she was happy, that's all that really mattered. ]

Tell me, friend - when you are done chewing, of course... Did you come out here to graze?

[ If so, he could always get her some more food. It might be better for her than just eating grass. ]

[fluffyhearted]

[ Delicious sheepy slobber. But the blocks were nice, especially for this Mareep who was always walking around the campus to explore all that was new and old to her eyes. She didn't scoff them down, but it didn't take long for them to be down into her little tummy.

And with them chewed, she backed up and looked to her new new buddy friend. With that question, she answered - animated by her moving and walking around in front of him. ]

Maa, mareeeeep, mareep mareep, maaa- [ Nooo, came to plaaay, come to make frieeends and have fuuuun. ]

Maaareep, maa, mareep. Mareep? [ Saw yooou by yourself, came to be with. Caan III? And saying that, she plops herself down right in front of N. ]

[idealisms]

[ Ohh, so that was it! What a sweet little purpose she found, one of forging happy memories with humans and other Pokemon, to play and have fun. That, and she is asserting that she wants to come be with him! How very thoughtful of her.

N beams, flinging himself back into the trunk and landing back on his rear. He crosses his legs inward, leaving his lap nice and open for his new little woodland friend to relax. ]

Why, of course you can. I would be very happy to. Here, would you like to sit with me? [ He extends his hands out, as if showing that he is about to welcome her into his personal space with open arms. ]

[fluffyhearted]

[ The result of the request was even better than Maisy could've hoped for! She had seen when she'd approached him that he was busy, so a little company like herself was a bright idea. Maybe, if he would've allowed it, she would have plopped herself right by his side, watch what he did, and maybe even get to play with him if he wanted to!

But sitting on his lap? Just like Gold let her? ]

Mareeeep! [ Yeah, yeeeah! No taking back the offer now, N. With the invitation open, the little sheep hopped happily over to the lap and crawled right onto it. She gave a happy sound as she curled her little legs in comfortably. She knew to be careful of where to sit them when she sat on Gold's lap, even though N's lap wasn't the same as his. It felt bigger. ]

[idealisms]

[ Good, because he didn't plan on taking that offer back. He pulled her in slightly as she took residence on his lap, helping to get her all comfortable and warm and snuggly. N noted to himself to be careful with her wool, but other than that, he felt mighty relaxed. ]

There you are. [ He soothingly cooed to her, stroking her head against with his left hand, giving little circular motions. ]

You can rest with me for as long as you'd like, and then we can play. Is that fine with you? [ Aww. He didn't forget about that part. ]

[fluffyhearted]

[ And a bundle of wool for a cover did wonders to keep a lap warm. Maisy was as happy as a little sheep could be, having certainly made a new friend with a spare lap to rest herself into. A sweet things in her stomach to boot!

And he wanted to play too? Though her little head had gotten comfy resting where it was (and receiving some love!), Maisy lifted it to look up at N. ]

We can plaaay? What gaaames do you plaaay? [ Because Michelle can't be bothered to Mareep talk anymore. ]

[idealisms]

Oh, we could play any games you'd like. I have many toys on my room, many blocks and balls and dolls to choose from. [ Wait, balls? Oh my. ] I also have some board games, I believe... but please, if you have suggestions, I will happily hear them.

[ He wasn't about to stop petting her, though! He gently brought two fingers down to scratch at her chin. Was this okay? There was only one way to find out! ]

[fluffyhearted]

[ It certainly was okay! So okay in fact that Maisy had to put off her answering, getting so into the chin rub she was receiving. There was as big of a smile on the Mareep's face that was possible. ]

Mmmm, I wanna plaaay what yooou like! But what's a boooard game? Does it have "daaata"?

[idealisms]

It has plenty of data, but I assure you that it is all very simple and fun. Games like Monopoly tend to be complicated, but there are also games such as Scrabble and The Game of Life that are plenty easier. [ Thankfully, he's very good at handling a lot of information at once, so Monopoly's a simple game for him, but he knows not everyone can handle it. ]

They are difficult to explain, but easy to understand. I could take you to my room and show you one. [ He grinned excitedly. Up for that, Maisy? ]

[fluffyhearted]

[ The fact that this guy seems to understand her so well doesn't really enter Maisy's mind so much. Actually, it's kinda nice, and the thought of learning and seeing a bunch of new things intrigued the Mareep. ]

Yeah, yeah, I wanna seee them. [ She nods her head at the invitation, a habit she got used to from hanging out with humans. ] The man saaaid that data is haaard, but I liiike to leearn. I want to leeearn everythiing.

[idealisms]

Well, then, I can take you to my dorm right now. Would you horribly mind if I carried you? Also... [ He bears a look of confusion. ] Who is this 'man'?

[ Does she mean her trainer, or does she mean the Hands? Maybe she means a teacher instead? He's not sure. ]

[fluffyhearted]

Nooo! The man picked me up tooo; it was fuun. [ And here, she'll even get up and out of his lap, standing ready to be picked up. She think it might be hard for him to do if she's on him. ]

The maaan is a maan I met. I think he's smaaart. [ hmm, what else was there about him? ]

He has thiings on his face. On his eyes!

[idealisms]

Things on his eyes? I don't suppose you mean glasses?

Oh, and hold still. I wouldn't want to accidentally drop you. [ His voice is firm and steady, yet gentle. After all, he is just looking out for her safety. She's probably a lot stronger than she looks, but despite that, N doesn't want her hurt.

He brings his hands down and cups them over her woolly body. Then, HOIST, all while he gets back on his feet. She's so light, almost like a feather! ]

There we are. Are you comfortable?

[fluffyhearted]

[ She stands still as he picks her up, but she can't help but to let out a small excited 'ma!' as she's picked up. There goes the ground. Goodbye, ground! ]

Yeeah, yeaah. Gold picks me up toooo. [ See, so she's used to it! ]

[idealisms]

[ Farewell, ground, hello, comforting trainer's arms! N makes good use of time and already begins heading for the building, the little bundle in his grip bouncing ever so slightly with each step. ]

Well, I can see why. You are very easy to pick up. [ He gives a little chuckle. ] You are also very fluffy and cuddly.

[ He'd kind of snuggle the shit out of her here if he was sure it wouldn't hurt her, but alas. ]

[fluffyhearted]

[ Sure the pain wouldn't be the other way round there. But Maisy's having fun being so high up - the trainer is much taller than her own, and she hasn't had that many pick ups outside of Gold's room, so she delights in looking around as N takes them to his room. ]

Gold says that too, but I had a friiiend who was really soooft. When it got reaaally cold, me and my frieeends and our parents would all hug together, and I alwaaays liked hugging near to heeer.

[ memooories. ]

[idealisms]

That is a fine way to spend the winter, helping each other keep warm. [ He stops in his tracks before he enters the building, his focus waning from his objective and transfixing on a fond memory of his own. ]

It is a comforting feeling, isn't it? To be surrounded by those you love as you struggle to warm up. If it were anybody else, it wouldn't be quite as... helpful, would it? Not quite as warm. [ Heart-warming, as it were.

...

Oh, right, his room. He pushes one of the doors open with his shoulder, an apologetic expression taking on his features. ]

We will keep each other safe from the cold. Alright?
