victory_road | [closed] February Catch All

Ah... If you wouldn't mind. And the food has yet to arrive, correct? Hopefully this will make it easier for you to attend to that as well.

No, but... [ She takes a moment to check her gear. ] It should be here in 15 minutes. I'll probably need help carrying everything, would you mind?

[ She wouldn't, actually- her pokémon are all good boys and girls who like to help. But it seems like he needs something to succeed at right now. ]

[Dimitri definitely looks that way; he's always been an open book. That shows now in the relief on his face.]

Oh, gladly. With how many people are a part of this group, it must be quite an amount.

Ohhh yeah. I don't know what everyone actually likes, so the place I ordered from has an option for family meals, basically? Where you get several large portions of multiple entrees and then a lot of the sides. Everyone can pick and choose what they want and try multiple things. ... It's gonna be a lot.

Honestly, most of us will not be picky, save for Felix. And, well...

[He thinks of how Felix had lashed out at Claude, the way he's sticking to Sylvain no matter what. He can understand it, of course, but...]

...As long as there's meat, he'll be fine.

Then, hey! Leftovers for tomorrow. It works.

[ He'll be fine if she can bully him into eating. However, she's good at bullying, so. ]

Yes... We will not let a bit of food go to waste.

[Dimitri steps out of his room with one more sip of his tea, Silkie following after him.]

I did not get a chance to truly ask you, in a rush as we all were, but... Did hte flight treat you and Razor well?

Oh- uh. [ Well, they're not dead, but also Jinx doesn't know where Razor's hiding now and the whole time everyone had been very stressed. ] ... I think if it were in different circumstances it might have been better?

....Ah.

[Yeah.]

When all of this clears up, we will be certain to give you a better experience.

I'm holding you to that, because I want to be able to take pictures.

... If I can just get the time to challenge the gym, I'll just need Baltimore to learn Fly and we'll be able to come when needed on our own...

Technically, none of us have challenged the gym which offers up that particular HM... We were fortunate that a young woman named Jane offered us use of that and others while we were staying at her home in Goldenrod.

Why must everything be so convoluted all the time.

[ While she's being dramatic, there's a ding on her Gear- ]

Oh- the delivery's almost here.

I suppose there must be some sense to it - or sense that was given once upon a time, and things evolved, as they do.

[Bureacracy can lead to a lot of strange things. Still, when Jinx checks her gear and makes her announcement, Dimitri hastily gives his mug to the patiently waiting Silkie.]

Ah - then I will head downstairs.

I'll come too, to verify the delivery.

[ And, you know, not leave it all to him? As they make their way out of the room, Jinx looks up to him and why does he have to be so goddamn tall. ]

We can divvy things up in here if that's okay? I figure it'd be easier... but if people don't want to leave their rooms that's understandable.

[viking genes, jinx]

[Still, her question rouses something in Dimitri's tired skull, and he blinks.]

Ah... Claude and I may dine together, along with Grant. I do not know if all three of us will - Grant does have Chip to consider, after all. But...

Yeah, that's fine. I just figured we could bring everything back to me and Razor's room.

[ Look she can't grammar all the time. Or leave the viking to do everything himself when he's been so good to her, that's rude. ]

Yes... Then, if it is no trouble to put everything there. It does seem like a lot of food...

[Which. Maybe they should just keep giving her and Razor food? As an apology for all of this?]

[ When they get to the ground floor and Jinx waves the delivery person over, she balks a bit. ... Yeah it sure fuckin is a lot. At least it'd keep them fed though. ]

No, it's okay. I wouldn't have offered if it was. That said I want to make sure everyone has at least half a portion- in case they can't stomach more.

They must have had quite the team help carry this over...

[At least with Pokemon, it's a more feasible feat than it would have been on its own. Little blessings, Dimitri supposes. He finishes his mug of tea and hands it over to Silkie with murmured thanks, which she drinks up eagerly before darting off to put it away.]

[In the meanwhile, Dimitri inspects the bags just packed to the brim with different little containers of food.]

Would you like me to get out more of my team to help carry this along...? I don't think Agnes would mind...

Uh... it might be for the best?

[ Idly, she lets her own Indeedee, Hellebore, out to help. Being a psychic maid probably makes things super easy! She happily takes several of the bags with ease and grace while Jinx quietly thanks the delivery person and hands out bags to helping hands. ]

[The good news is twofold: Dimitri is plenty strong even without his Crest, so he can hook up a few bags and hold up a few more, and also Silkie is back in the blink of an eye to help as well. She seems quite satisfied to be working alongside Hellebore, and Agnes the Kangaskhan too when she emerges from her own Pokeball. Whatever can be stuffed into her pouch without making a mess is, and the rest goes into her arms.]

[Dimitri looks around thoughtfully.][He can get out another if it's too much for her to want to carry... He wants to help out best he can.]

Okayyyy... next time I might not get quite so much?

[ Thankfully it looks like they've gotten it all, because for as stick-thin as she looks she's no slouch either! Just... we can't all be super-strength having viking king lancers, okay. ]

I think this is everything.

[ And with that, Hellebore lets Jinx take the lead of the procession to the elevator. Thank goodness it's big enough for a giant kangaroo! ]

[The people here truly care about their Pokemon, and making things huge enough to fit them. Dimitri has also been very grateful for this fact many times, he won't lie.]

[He stays mostly quiet as the group brings all the food to Jinx's room, maybe spacing out just a little, but at least he snaps out of it when it's all put down.]

...Thank you again for your help. This is all something the rest of us should have done, instead of putting it on your shoulders.

It's nothing. Don't worry about it. Thanks for helping carry it all up though.

[ Really, making sure everyone was fed for the night was important- but ultimately very simple, and the least she could do. Hellebore helpfully pulls out Jinx's backpack and reaches into it- oh, right, travel-friendly plates and bowls and silverware, which are promptly placed on the table as well. ]

Make sure everyone else dishes up first.

[Even as the Indeedee and their Kangaskhan friend begin to set up everything, Dimitri reaches over to lightly rest his fingertips against Jinx's shoulder.]

You are making sure we take care of ourselves, and caring for our wellbeing.

That is never nothing.
