Get your chocolate on!

[will_be_god]

Who: EVERYONE
What: Chocolate Fest
Where: School courtyard
When: 18th, around 2 PM
Warnings: Sheer gluttony


You enter the courtyard and see a massive spread that you're pretty sure wasn't there an hour ago. Or even five minutes ago.

Chocolate is everywhere! Tables are set up for sampling and eating, there's a sign up sheet at the end of one for an eating contest, and even the fountain now runs with chocolate (and what looks like a few very happy but stomachachey Magikarp. Just because they *can* live anywhere doesn't mean they *should*).

There's a chocolate cake marked "Happy Birthday Heather". You don't know who Heather is. She may not even exist, because you have the disturbing impression that Crazy Hand bought too many half-price chocolates and is using this to get rid of them.

No matter. There are chocolates everywhere! You want to enjoy that, don't you?




((don't worry about the cake. Heather is my sister and it's her birthday. Also despite the account, Cyrus has nothing to do with this event though he may show up)

At the fountain!

[will_be_god]

[rivalappeared]

[Woah wh- what has happened. Honestly, the first thing Green gravitates towards is the chocolate fountain. Were those... Magikarp?! In the fountain... that people are supposed to eat?! And why does he still want to eat from it?!]

[obfuskate]

[ He is eating chocolate bars while collecting the fountain's chocolate into large, lidded bowls.





... Shut up. ]

[majorjealousy]

[Suddenly, a Jin behind you.]

So, snapped out of it, have you?

[coruskate]

[ Oh no. Wrong. Shadow froze, wishing and yearning for him to not be here, pestering him about what he'd done, but reality was a cruel mistress. ]

... Do you want me to dump this chocolate sauce on you? [ Because he very well could. ]

[majorjealousy]

[He raised an eyebrow.]

At least you have the sense to feel shame.

[coruskate]

This is your last warning. Be quiet or I will make you a sopping mess of chocolate and your own blood.

[ Ouch. Yeah, he's... getting frustrated, I think! ]

[majorjealousy]

Calm yourself. It was obvious some outside force was making a fool of you. I didn't expect that you had suddenly become a romantic overnight. I didn't escape the day unscathed, either.

[coruskate]

Oh, really? [ His voice still drips with venom. Here he is, pestering him despite being well-aware that it wasn't his fault. ]

Then who were you vying for? How ridiculous were you behaving? You know of my cumbersome tale, so it is now my right to know yours. That is, unless you enjoy washing your hair with chocolate...

[ So much for calming himself. ]

[majorjealousy]

Your right? It's not like I dragged it out of you. You shoved your temporary insanity in everyone's faces, no one can even get the entry off the server. I'm not here to make you feel better. If that chocolate comes anywhere near me, you're going to regret it.

[obfuskate]

Trust me, I know, but don't I deserve the joy of reveling in your madness as you clearly have mine? It's much like entering a spar and expecting to come out unscathed.

[ Shit just doesn't work that way. ]

[majorjealousy]

You expect I wouldn't come out unscathed from a spar?

[obfuskate]

...

It was a metaphor.

[ ah

well ain't you smart, boy

he sure ain't judging you now ]

*A* Chocolaaaaate

[lovesclearlakes]

[ Catching onto the delectable scent of chocolate, Chiyo simply had to investigate! And why... the sight before her astounded her. So much so that she forgot that she was exposing herself out in the open with strangers around. But, never before had Chiyo seen a chocolate fountain! Though, uh, were those Magikarp in it? That didn't look so appealing... but still! Chocolate!! Chiyo couldn't help but stand before it and stare with an excited twinkle in her eyes. ]

[rivalappeared]

[Oh hey, that sure was a Pokemon Green hadn't seen on campus before. Better to approach her slowly...]

[lovesclearlakes]

[ Chiyo was far too enticed by the chocolate in the fountain to notice the approaching trainer. However, if he were to speak to her or draw attention to him in some way, she would most definitely jump out of her skin. ]

[rivalappeared]

[He took a couple small steps towards her, holding out his hand experimentally.]

... Hello?

[lovesclearlakes]

@#$%!! [...or whatever verbal keyboard smashing would sound like. Most likely an unintelligible squeak. One that erupted from Chiyo's throat as her heart jumped out of it. She quickly skipped back a few steps to put some distance between her and the man, and stared at him with alarm.

Where did he suddenly pop up from? Chiyo hadn't a clue. She only saw chocolate and nothing else until now. What did he want? Did he want something from her? Chiyo's mind raced a mile a minute from the surprise, and she didn't know what to say.]

[rivalappeared]

[Ah, shit.]

Sorry. I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm one of the RAs. Are you a student, or someone's Pokemon?

[lovesclearlakes]

[Still shivering, Chiyo continued to stare.

What's an "RA?" she questioned in her mind. She couldn't imagine what it was, but considering that he knew she was a Pokemon, it may have some relation to her world. She just hoped that it wouldn't mean that he was some sort of trainer looking to catch stray Pokemon.

After some time passed, she slowly nodded in response to his question.]

Va... vaporeon.... (Translation: Yes.)

[rivalappeared]

[Green had no intention to catch Chiyo, but he couldn't help the little conditioned shock of excitement that ran up his spine at the encounter of a new Pokemon. How had she even gotten onto campus? She seemed kinda timid.]

My name's Green. Should I call you Vaporeon?

[lovesclearlakes]

[Chiyo didn't know how to respond to his question considering that they didn't speak the same language. Even if she had said, "Chiyo" it would've still come out as "Vaporeon" so she really didn't see the point in trying. Unless.... she could try writing it out on the dirt with her tail. It was worth a shot. He did give her his name so, to her, it seemed rude not to give hers in exchange.

Thus, after politely saying, "No" in her language with a shake of her head and still keeping him within view, she carefully wrote out "C H I Y O" on the ground. It wasn't the neatest hand - er - tail-writing, but she did her best and hoped he'd get the message.]

[rivalappeared]

[Woah that was actually... a lot more than he had expected. He had kind of expected just a nod or a shake of the head, but... He blinked at the sudden show of literacy.]

... Your name is Chiyo?

[lovesclearlakes]

[A lover of books, this one. So she knew how to spell, though her writing wasn't fantastic-looking. She often liked to leave messages on the ground in front of her trainer's home as a way to start the day, so writing her name wasn't too difficult a task.

Sitting by her name on the ground, she nodded up at him in response to his question.]

[rivalappeared]

[He pointed at himself.]

Alright, Chiyo. My name's Green. I'm from Kanto.

[lovesclearlakes]

Chiyo's eyes lit up in recognition of his home. Kanto. That was her home, too! Oh, but...

Wouldn't that mean he's a actually trainer then?

Chiyo took a few cautious steps back. Maybe he really was there to catch her.

[rivalappeared]

[He held up his hands innocently, as if reading her mind.]

I'm not gonna make any moves, just wanted to say hi. I've got a Blastoise. A Jolteon, too.

[lovesclearlakes]

[Chiyo might've been fine with what he said... Until he mentioned having a Jolteon, which she clearly panicked upon hearing.

Oh my god. That same Jolteon I met from the first day I arrived here? He's its trainer?

Chiyo immediately put a greater distance between them, her alarm back in action.

Is he...? Oh my, is he here for revenge at my rudeness towards his Pokemon? Maybe I shouldn't have just left a flower at his Jolteon's door. I should have formally apologized!

Her eyes became laced with worry as she wondered if this trainer truly just wanted to say hi.]

[rivalappeared]

[It was always a game of chance with eeveelutions-- mentioning Jolt might have had a positive reaction due to him and Chiyo being in the same species pool, but Chiyo was a water type and Jolt was an electric type... Damn. He put a hand on his face.]

Sorry. Do you not like Jolteons? Mine is real well behaved. [Liar.]

He wouldn't hurt you.

[lovesclearlakes]

[Chiyo shook her head, a clear expression of doubt on her face in response to what he just said. She did ponder over it though, recalling that his Jolteon did seem considerate enough to leave her alone when she didn't want to be bothered. So, he might be well behaved like Green said... or he might not be. She really didn't want to take any chances considering her bad history with one before she arrived at Smash.

Making a sound in discomfort, Chiyo glanced at Green unsure of whether or not she could trust him.]

[rivalappeared]

[Hmm... He glanced at the chocolate fountain next to them.]

... You like chocolate? [Could Vaporeons eat chocolate?]

[lovesclearlakes]

[Mun actually hadn't considered that, so apparently this one can.

The mention of chocolate was unexpected and succeeded in distracting Chiyo from a bit of her anxiety for the moment. It may not be the healthiest of things she could eat, but she loved it nonetheless.

She nodded with the slightest hint of a sparkle in her eyes that her interest was piqued at the mention of sweets.]

[rivalappeared]

[Green grabbed one of the biscuits off of a nearby spread, and dipped half of it in the liquid chocolate flowing from the fountain. He offered it to her.]

A peace offering.

[lovesclearlakes]

[ Chiyo could only stare. Stare at that biscuit in admiration. The shiny gleam of the chocolate, still fresh and wet, looked marvelous and extremely delicious. For it to be on top of a biscuit only made it more appetizing and highly desirable.

Chiyo gulped. Most of her fears left her with the appearance of the bribe peace offering. One part of her wanted to jump on the offer and enjoy that scrumptious-looking biscuit. Another told her to maintain her guard and their distance.

But...

Just look at that biscuit. It looked so yummyyyyyy. ]

...........

[ Chiyo looked back and forth between Green and the treat, conflicted between desire and reason. Such a shame it would be not to eat that biscuit, but at the same time, what if it was just a trick? Urk... Chiyo frowned and had a feeling that her stomach would growl soon if she didn't take him up on that offer. That would be horrifyingly embarrassing. And she knew she'd want to cry if he suddenly retracted his offer, too. So, taking a few, very slow, cautious steps forward, she watched him to see if he would make any strange movements. If he didn't, then she'd continue until she could reach the biscuit. ]

General milling around

Re: General milling around

[voltecpower]

Oh...

[Pulse wouldn't have minded much that he couldn't ingest human food without it making him sick, if it were not for the fact that his sense of smell worked just as well as a normal human's, that his body understood what food was, and that it often reacted to its presence as though he actually needed it. And right now, the air in the courtyard was telling his poor addled brain that there was chocolate here and that he should try eating some. He realized that he was going to have to take a different path to his classes for at least the next day or so.]

Darnit, darnit, darnit... Hello... Yeah, that's nice... Oh, who's Heather? That... That name sounds familiar... Really, really familiar... I'm sorry... I hope, whoever she is, that she has a very happy birthday. Okay, bye.

[And then he was on the other side and headed away from the courtyard, into the nearest building.]
