03 | when it comes [ video ]

[ Today Claire's laid on the bed in the room of the hotel that she's been staying in. It's not bad, and the work's been pretty decent. She's slowly starting to get used to the place although she still doesn't have much of an idea of what to do ]

So I think I've seen pretty much all I can about this place, this city anyway. I've even started learning some of the history as... there's really not much else.

Working here isn't bad, at least I'm doing something and that something feels pretty useful. That and [ There's a small 'oof' as Claire's Vulpix jumps up on the the bed and ends up landing on her ]

Meredith! [ She sort of half turns around to try and pick it up, or at least try and push it to the side so that it's sat next to her instead of on her ]

That and feeling useful is good. It's better than being stuck here and there being absolutely nothing.

I'm getting used to the Pokemon, too, and seeing them everywhere. It was weird at first but now... it's not as shocking, anyway. I ended up catching that Psyduck, mostly just to stop it from following me everywhere. [ And she picks up the Gear, pointing it towards the floor ] Lyle, come and say hello.

Psy? [ But it does waddle over, its face ending up being pressed against the Gear ]

I've now just got to figure out what else to do. [ As she talks she turns the Gear back around and puts it back on the bed ] Quiet cities are nice but this is a little too quiet. I don't want to travel, at least not constantly and training and battling? Only if I have to. Something tells me that its not going to be as easy to travel after this city. [ Because that would just be too simple ] So that mostly rules out collecting the gym badges, unless I'm missing something about them.

And for anything else... Goldenrod City's on my list, maybe even to stay. It's big, which means there has to be something more there. Who knows?

[ Feel free to chip in with ideas, listeners ]

That's a lot of Psyduck. This is my first that wasn't someone elses.

Ye-yeah, I don't think that happens a lot... we kind of got infested with water types a few months ago, so I saw a bunch then. That's actually kind of... how I got mine to begin with actually. Hehe...
onemoreattribute: (and around [ not wanting to ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-08 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Infested? I thought that was just a rat and bug thing?

[identity profile] reaccepts.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's not very much to do in general if you're not very into Pokémon training.
onemoreattribute: (and around [ if it seems ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-10 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't planning on it but part of me thinks I'll need to, to get to Goldenrod. At least it's something to do while I'm not doing anything, even if it's not for the gyms.

[identity profile] reaccepts.livejournal.com 2011-09-11 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
It is pretty inconvenient if you can't deal with the wild Pokémon very efficiently, so yeah, that's true. I was thinking perhaps I should try training mine more, too.

I dunno, maybe swarmed would be a better word. It kind of felt like a rat and bug thing, though.
onemoreattribute: (that look [ and in days ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-11 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Any other weird things I should know about? [ She'd heard of soul stealing too, this was exactly why she was planning on staying in one place and hopefully safely ]

[Video] Katara missed the memo! (IE: Her mundane somehowmissedClaire.)

[personal profile] usedwaterpulse 2011-09-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Katara is surprised, she didn't expect to hear that voice on the network a third time, not after Claire returned home twice. Last time she greeted her in such surprise, though, it turned out she didn't remember her first visit, so... caution this time, despite that surprise.]

I think you'll like Goldenrod. There's a lot to do there, and plenty of trainers to battle or trade with if not.

[personal profile] skillspanner 2011-09-12 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
You mean aside from the Pokémon themselves? Because I'm pretty sure they take up the majority of the weirdness here.
onemoreattribute: (that look [ have it for now ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-12 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
I hope it works for you.
onemoreattribute: (look down [ a minute thing ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-12 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
What about if you're not really battling or trading?
onemoreattribute: (that look [ and then there were ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-12 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
I mean the weird things that happen. Like the swarming and soul stealing.
skillspanner: (Default)

[personal profile] skillspanner 2011-09-12 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Those are... pretty much the only weird things I've seen here. [And a bit more serious at that.]

And that weekend that nobody can remember clearly.

[personal profile] usedwaterpulse 2011-09-12 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you're into scenery there's the National Park. Other than that, we were in a hurry when I was there last so I didn't really sight see much besides shopping. If you keep heading North and head West you'll eventually come across places called Ecruteak City and Olivine. Olivine is a big city on the coast. You might like it there more.

Good luck to you as well.

... My name's Alexi, by the way. It's nice to meet you.
onemoreattribute: (that look [ in your excitement ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-13 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

I'm Claire. It's nice to meet you too.
onemoreattribute: (that look [ never mind it ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-13 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. The coast doesn't sound too bad, at least there's a view.
onemoreattribute: (that look [ and in days ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-13 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That's ok- wait, what?
skillspanner: (Default)

[personal profile] skillspanner 2011-09-14 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... yeah. Woke up one Monday only kind of remember some weirdo stuff from the weekend. It was like that for everyone.

[identity profile] reaccepts.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
... Best of luck on your travels. Maybe we'll bump into each other sometime.
onemoreattribute: (look down [ when can it be ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-14 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
So not a party?
onemoreattribute: (smiles [ you know it ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-14 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so.
skillspanner: (Default)

[personal profile] skillspanner 2011-09-15 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely not a party.
onemoreattribute: (and around [ for a small moment ])

[personal profile] onemoreattribute 2011-09-16 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder what happened. Is there no one that remembers?
