[A Fennekin could be seen sitting in someone's lap. She uses one red paw to poke and prod the gear to get it into a good position.

Credence was in frame but clearly not feeling great. He was leaning his head against his hand, fingers curling in his hair as he is forcing himself to breathe slowly.

The little fox turns her head, yipping at him to get hid attention.

He startles then looks into the gear.]


Oh.. Is it worming..? Did you get it? Okay.. Um.. I'm..not sure what's going on or how I got here..I think it was Mr. Graves, I don't know.. I don't know anything going on, I'm just..

[Tina prods him with her paw to stop that line of thought.]

Um.. anyway..I'm here now. I'm here. Tina is.. taking me to the next town over. She knows what to do.. I'm glad I'm not alone..
foolishwren: and every scar I have makes me who I am. (We were put here on earth to feel joy)

[In Heather's experience, there's three kinds of newbie.]

[The kind who are weirdly chill and calm about it, the kind who completely flip out and start screaming and breaking things... and then the ones who are sort of in the middle, like this poor guy.]


Hey, your Fennekin's got it figured out.

Trust her, okay?

She's there to make sure you get there safely.
foolishwren: so, like queer eye except the gays fuck up the lives of men who deserve it. and also I'm one of the gays. (me pitching a show to netflix:)

Mmhm.

You're lucky to have her-- showing up here in the middle of winter sucks, but a Fire-type starter will make it a hell of a lot easier to keep warm!

[She's, uh. Trying to stick on the bright side here, because this dude literally looks depressed.]
foolishwren: me: i am an atrocity to god, but thank you (someone: ur cute)

Hey, don't apologize. This is a lot to get used to, nobody expects anybody to get it all right away.

[Maybe a few years ago, she'd have been more impatient with frazzled newbies, but she's had a long time to settle in to this world.]

Fire-type means she can breathe fire. Like a dragon, y'know?

[Ironically she has no idea he's from a place where dragons are REAL, it's just the easiest example of a fire-breathing animal that she can think of.]
foolishwren: The walls are coated in human skin and stuff's starting to move under it, LET'S JUST LEAVE. (... You know what?)

[LOOK AT HER! WHAT A GOOD GIRL!]

The direction you probably were pointed in is towards a town called Cherrygrove-- there's food and beds there.

But it's a long walk, which is why it's best to start as soon as possible.

You'll, uh.

Probably need to take rest stops. Which is where having a pet that can make fires for you will come in handy.
foolishwren: ... pegrent? (is there a possibly that im...)

Yeeeahhhh...

[There's not really a pleasant way to break that news in the winter. Even the comparatively short couple-day walk from New Bark to Cherrygrove is imposing when snow is on the ground.]

Just remember, Tina's gonna help you stay warm.

And there should be a little food in your backpack. And a sleeping bag, I think...?

[She's pretty sure she had one when she got here... although that was friggin' years ago.]
foolishwren: (You try to block them out...)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2018-01-15 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Or company at least.

Even in the middle of the night there's usually someone around on these things.
foolishwren: i'll kick your dog's ass. i'll kick my own ass (ill kick your ass. ill kick ANYONES ass)

[That's fine. This whole situation is pretty unbelievable to anyone just getting here. So she's not offended.]

Good. Having someone here who already knows you is pretty handy when you first get here.

Anyway... name's Heather, by the way.
foolishwren: though you're gone, your memory will carry on because I WILL be screaming the lyrics to Black Parade the entire time i am beating Claudia to death with a stick (... don't worry dad...)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2018-01-18 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Well, that happens here sometimes.

[:T No good way to explain why.]

But uh, oh yeah. Good luck and everything.
