STARTING ;; about the ship [The fact he's barred from bringing his starter is... not something Shiro is comfortable with. The last time he was at a prom, it was his starter who basically saved the day. He hasn't been without the big Aggron since he arrived here. If he'd known about the restriction to begin with, he wouldn't have even considered going. But Matt had wanted to. The others wanted to. His hair is a freshly dyed rainbow, and Haunter the Gengar is even more glued to his side than usual. Haunter, Red and Blue. Skarmory, Europa and Nebula. It's going to have to do.]
[Shiro is still wildly uncomfortable. And has taken up an unobtrusive spot along the rail for the majority of the first day. Staring out across the water until sunset. Then watching the stars once they start to wink into existence. Those... hold his attention for longer than they should.]
[Anyone passing by might startle him a bit, his head whipping around and eyes gone wide. So much for a nice, soothing vacation, at least for now.]
TRAINING DAY ;; the rock wall [Well, at least there's something physical Shiro can do to get his mind off things. He's just glad he brought along some workout clothes. Which is exactly what he's doing, scaling the wall, with his Umbreon riding on his shoulders. A little more extra weight to wear him down, get out some of the nervous energy he can't seem to get rid of.]
[And... once he gets to the top, it's back down to try again. His Umbreon hopping daintily to the ground. If anyone happens to be watching, he might nod and ask--]
You don't happen to have any heavier pokemon than an Umbreon, huh?
SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS ;; bar [... Okay, it's less SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS and more "try and figure out how to relax". Not a whole lot has worked so far. This is possibly the last resort. So he's sitting in a corner, staring at a single shot. It's pretty, it's mixed blue and green with a cherry on top. But Shiro is looking at it like it's a live grenade.]
[Which just means Blue the Gallade is free to skulk around the bar. He's supposed to be keeping an eye on his trainer. But instead, he's making his own fun. Possibly trying to swipe snacks, or pose for other pokemon.]
[Choose your own adventure -- the sadsack with his shot, or the Gallade with something to prove.]
USE RECOVER ;; spa OR lounges [Well. Fine. Literally nothing else has worked. And so, Haunter has taken matters into its own ghostly hands. It has dragged its trainer, with the help of Shiro's Incineroar, to one of two locations. You can witness him either being dumped into a mineral soak in the spa, or into a deck chair. Watched over by two max level pokemon. They're not going to let him go. They have a mission here, in the absence of their bigger teammate.]
[Either help him? Or laugh at him. Either way, he's not going anywhere just yet.]
FANCY DRESS PARTY ;; dancing [And last, but not least... once his brain finally sorts itself out, he pulls on the trusty suit. Somehow, it's survived two proms now. So, maybe it'll take a third. Has he thought about changing it up? No. Never. He's added the cuff links from before, too. Despite looking sharp as heck, this year, he definitely hangs along the edges of the dancing for a while.]
[Though, once someone gets him to quit thinking about his nerves, he's not a half-bad dancer. Shiro's always been pretty light on his feet. This is a much better use of it than fighting, in his opinion.]
[Do you snag a dance? Or catch him on a water break, actually smiling for the first time since he got on this boat?]
((hit me up if you want any kind of custom starter!))
