Out with the old....

[sundead]

Who: Everyone
What: New Year's.
When: Dec. 31st, New Year's Eve, to Jan 1st, New Year's Day.
Where: Everywhere
Summary: It's New Year's, and the people of Luceti have a lot to reflect upon, and to look forward to. And on a more meta level, new journal names.
Rating: We'll see...

New Year's brings images of crowds, and songs, and fireworks; staying up til midnight and watching balls or bells being rung. But Luceti is a different time and place. Whether you're partying with friends or watching the sunrise, what are you doing today?

[ It's worth asking! ] Chuchu's a nice name. I never really thought of nicknames for my own Pokemon.

[moehealer]

So you just call them by their species then?

[..yeah, may as well ask.] Also, uh... Do you happen to know Gold, Silver, or Crystal?

[flockingjustice]

[ He nods slightly in response, though it's primarily to the first question. ] I knew Gold before arriving here, but I met Silver in Luceti.

[moehealer]

Ohhh, I see.. [It's too bad that he didn't know Silver before but.. at least he does now! Right?] Not Crystal though?

[flockingjustice]

The name isn't ringing any bells, no. I apologize.

[moehealer]

Ohh.. Well, maybe you'll get to meet her sometime. Either back at home, or even here. [She'll make sure to introduce you to her if it's the latter..!]

[flockingjustice]

It's surely possible. [ It seems like most things are possible here, after all. ]

[moehealer]

[That it is! And so she'll nod.] What's your name?

[flockingjustice]

I'm Falkner, the gym leader of Violet City. [ He nods politely. ] And you are?

[moehealer]

...Oh! You're a gym leader? [So cool..! Now that she thinks of it though, the name Falkner does ring a bell... At least a little bit.]

But it's nice to meet you, Falkner! I'm Yellow.

[flockingjustice]

It's nice to meet you as well, Yellow. [ And, to address her question... ] I'm a Flying type specialist and the first leader of the Johto region.

[moehealer]

Oooh.. That's really cool! Especially since you're the first.

[Flying types though? Hmmm. Maybe she could show him her Dodrio..!]

[flockingjustice]

[ He nods a little. ] I've wanted to be a gym leader for as long as I can remember.

[ He'd have no objections to that! ]

[moehealer]

I see.. You must've been really happy when you became one then.

[WELL THEN guess she should..! Or get to it.] What other Pokémon do you have, by the way?

[flockingjustice]

I also have a Pigeotto and a Skarmory, but they aren't out right now.

[moehealer]

[Guessing they don't have names either.] A Skarmory..? [What do those look like again... ohright.] I see!

I actually have one flying-type Pokémon too.

[flockingjustice]

You do? [ o m g ] What Pokemon?

[moehealer]

[She smiles, pulling the pokeball with the ostrich thing out.] A Dodrio! His name is Dody. Would you like to meet him?

[flockingjustice]

[ Dody... Yellow stop being adorable okay ] I would like that.

falkner is so macho

[moehealer]

[Never..!

And in that case, she'll go ahead and press the button on the pokéball now to call Dody out. SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE LARGE FRIEND.]

he is a macho macho man

[flockingjustice]

[ HELLO LITTLE LARGE FRIEND

Falkner stares at Dodrio a little, nodding to himself. ] He looks to be really well cared for. You must be an exceptional trainer, Yellow.

yes exactly...

[moehealer]

[She smiles.] Thanks! Your Noctowl does too.

[And then after giving Dody a pat..] Dody says it's nice to meet you though.

got those muscles from bench pressing birds. no biggie.

[flockingjustice]

... Ah? [ He... "says" that? But Falkner didn't hear anything... ] It's... it's nice to meet you as well, Dody.

...this mental image

[moehealer]

[Dody just... nods its heads around as some sort of weird response or something.]

it's terrible isn't it

[flockingjustice]

[ Falkner will give a little nod in return. ] ... Forgive me for being blunt, Yellow, but how could you tell what Dody was thinking? There wasn't any sound or particular movement. [ Even as a bird specialist, it seems odd to him... ]
