Party type: Christmas

Who: Everyone!
Where: Silph Co. Headquarters, Saffron City
When: Dec 16th
Note: 1. For those who lack the means to travel there, Silph Co. has arranged transport.
2. As this is a Type: Null party, the only pokemon allowed inside will be Type: Nulls (and Silvally). Nothing wrong with other pokemon, but this is meant to shine a special spotlight on a special pokemon.
Log:



It looks like Silph Co. has gone all out for this Christmas party!

The large room is cheerfully decorated with all sorts of holiday-themed decorations -- strings of lights, a tree, Santa's jolly face plastered everywhere, the works!

(No mistletoe though. Nobody wants to deal with the potential fall-out of that.)

Large buffet tables line one end of the room, covered in all manner of food and drinks. There are huge trays of cookies -- both Christmas and Type: null themed! --, cakes, candy-canes and gingerbread. In short, everything you need to eat yourself into a holiday-themed sugar coma. The drinks don't disappoint either. There is soda and water, of course; but there are also plenty of more winter-themed drinks such as hot choco, a wide variety of teas, and for the adults, mulled wine, eggnog and cider.

One corner of the room has been given over to (a) Santa's reign. Why not come and have your pokemon meet ol' Jolly Nick himself? Every pokemon that does will get a small gift -- either something nice to eat or a small toy. And there is a complimentary photo too, taken by a smiling Silph Co employee. It'll make a nice memento!

The rest of the room is mostly empty; there are some tables and chairs for those needing to sit for a spell, but mostly, it's an open area so everybody can mingle and move around. And so all the collected Type: Nulls have the room to move about without knocking into furniture. Some can be a little... clumsy, after all.

Along one wall, there is an opened door with a sign above it that says 'Meet A New Friend.' Going through, there is a second, smaller room with several cheery Silph Co. employees and a couple of Type: Nulls up for adoption. If you don't already have a Type: Null, why not take this opportunity to meet a few of the good boys and girls, and perhaps you'll make a new friend!

You do? [Keith had an affinity for fire types.] Oh... I think I saw it last time you were at the island...

She hatched from an egg. [The vulpix was very baby. Because unlike the others Mikasa had from eggs, the vulpix hid and cried. Unlike a certain Riolu who hatched trying to fight.]

I carry her because she gets scared if she's on the ground. [She was still scared, but not being underfoot helped a little bit.]
tempredmental: (Curious and or Confused)

She might still grow out of that. It could just be because she's small.

[Now that the tripod null seemed to be happy with being petted, the encounter in general was going a bit smoother. Though, Keith wasn't great at small talk, and he was getting the impression that Mikasa was pretty shy.

His own Null glitched to monochrome shading for a moment before switching back again.]


This one here seems to like you. [Indicating the affectionate one.] Are you going to take it with you?

[It really did calm down now people were paying attention to it instead of running away. Even if Mikasa just gave a little nod and kept talking about the Vulpix.]

She's only just started growing her second tail. [So small, so fuzzy. But finally, she nodded. Turning back to the Null.]

I think so. People keep leaving it when it runs over. [It was sad, she felt bad for the pokemon. Though she wasn't really sure what it was.]

They might be kind of intimidated by the enthusiasm.

[Keith smiled a little.]

It reminds me of an eager dog, actually... one that likes to jump on people. That can be scary sometimes if people don't know the dog well enough. And this guy's big, and heavy. It just needs to learn that it'll get more good attention if it doesn't try to jump on everyone it sees.

[He remembered having to train that out of Kosmo when the wolf had started jumping at him in excitement.]

It's sad. [She felt bad for them. It wasn't like Eren who had no friends because he yelled and caused fights a lot. They didn't try to hurt anyone...they just did because of their size.

She stepped closer, not even needing to kneel to scratch their shoulder. No head pets, the helm got in the way.]


Are dogs really like that? They were why I couldn't play in the woods.

[Feral dogs, wolves. She wasn't really sure of the difference.]
tempredmental: (Oh Hey Thanks)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2022-01-20 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Some dogs. Not all of them. [Keith was rubbing the Null's chest between his forelegs.] They have different personalities just like humans do. Some are nice, some are friendly. Some are really mean and dangerous. Some are just scared of humans and don't trust us, so they get angry and bite to defend themselves.

Sometimes, you can get one that's angry to calm down and like you, but it takes a lot of work. [Kind of like what Shiro did with him, in a way, but Keith wasn't going to use that comparison for himself.]

[personal profile] wrappedwarm 2022-01-23 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[She slowly nodded. That made sense, there sure were a lot of people. People like Armin, Eren, Auntie Carla, the bullies, that shopkeeper who got into a fight with Mister Hannes...]

I've never seen one... I can hear them barking sometimes. [They didn't really wander into the busier parts of the city. Not many could afford them.] This one seems too trusting.

[Because dogs sure did have bird feet, or fins.]
tempredmental: (Supportive Listening)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2022-01-24 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly likes the attention. [Keith was amused.] I'm sure it'll calm down in a stable environment. As long as it knows it isn't going to be abandoned.

[Man... part of Keith could relate to that, too... but he just squashed that down. Like, man... where was all this coming from?]

I think you'll do find with it. If you need help, just ask.

[personal profile] wrappedwarm 2022-01-25 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stiffened as he spoke, getting even closer to the Null. She protect.] It's really nice...They said it was called Rainbow Sprinkle. [Girl or boy, Mikasa didn't know, only Rainbow Sprinkle. But she looked away from the pokemon, tilting her head up at Keith.]

What can you help with?
tempredmental: (Apologies Long Overdue)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2022-01-26 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Rainbow Sprinkle, huh? [Keith nodded.] Well, it's nice to meet you, Rainbow Sprinkle. [He gave the Null some more petting.]

With training... if you want, that is. I trained a wolf back home to work with me on missions, and there's the Pokémon here that I've worked with, too, since I arrived. It's up to you.

[personal profile] wrappedwarm 2022-01-27 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[This pleases the Null, they pushed up. Pressing into his hand. Though the mention of wolf got a small twitch. Didn't people train dogs? But were wolves just another word for wild dogs? Her parents had said both lived in the woods...

But anyway.]


Is it the same as training pokemon? ...I'm still learning that [Then quietly.] I think I'm doing okay.
tempredmental: (Exhausted But Happy)

[personal profile] tempredmental 2022-01-28 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Kind of like that. This guy just seems to need a little more reassurance than others might.

[He nodded.]

Well, if you ever want help, let me know.

[personal profile] wrappedwarm 2022-01-29 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mikasa just stared for a moment. Then wrapped her arms around Null, ARE YOU REASSURED? She holds. Even though her arms didn't reach around the pokemon.]

Thank you, I think I get it.
tempredmental: (Impressed Smile)

wrap here?

[personal profile] tempredmental 2022-01-30 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

Oh.

That was... adorable... and Keith didn't know how to process this. He did smile, though, and then nodded.]


That's definitely a good way to start.
wrappedwarm: (pic#14917217)

ye

[personal profile] wrappedwarm 2022-01-30 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Everything was fine, see? Even as the tripod Null wiggled to nuzzle back and lifted Mikasa off her feet, she still hung on.]

They're not scary... [But she seemed to be talking to the Null more than Keith at this point. Nope, they weren't scary at all. Just big. If she could make Yachi not be scared of Bisharp, then she could make people not be afraid of this good Poke.]
