joining the hisui bandwagon

[instrumentally]

Who: Rei and You (?)

Where: Hisui: Base Camp

When: Sometime in July

Summary: Rei (And others) go on patrol to keep the camp safe!

Rating: G? Probably.

Log:

It is different, here. The air is cleaner, cooler, calmer. No buzzing from electronics. The pokemon are wilder. Free roaming. Difficult to keep out of places where they may accidentally find themselves. Items are harder to come by, must be made, materials must be found.

Rei does not know what else to do but to fall into a routine. Patrolling the camp to keep it safe. From what? Wild pokemon, who do not know where the borders are. It is familiar, in some ways. Important, in its own way, as much as finding the pieces of the machine that will bring them home. Sometimes it is dangerous, and that is why Cinder, her new Cyndaquil, often accompanies her.

And why your character might want to, along with her.

"I have found a purpose until we are returned to our time and place."

It is simple and it is small, but it is familiar and it is fulfilling in its own way.

"What have you been doing?"

Of course. Dimitri can understand that, really. Sometimes, all one can do is pick something and put their focus to it. The day to day things, the patient repetition to keep one alive... It is never completely enough, but it helps with a great deal.

"Oh, I have been doing a few odd jobs here and there," Dimitri admits. "However, mostly, I do rather like simply going off into the wilderness to see how things are different here, while still being a little familiar to me. Before I arrived here, I... did manage to survive in the wilderness on my own for five years."

An unpleasant, miserable, bloody five years. Dimitri's gaze grows a bit distant.

"And yet... Somehow, the familiarity is almost comforting, even though that was a difficult time."

"My needs were always taken care of by others."

The physical ones, at least. The medications one must take, the training one must undergo, the orders that must be fulfilled. Isolating without being isolated.

"It is difficult to survive on one's own. But it is fulfilling in other ways."

On that front, Dimitri can also understand that to some degree... He was a crown prince, once upon a time. How could he not? And even without that, in most cases, one has their parents, or their guardians, someone who can help take care of them when they are young...

Well, that's besides the point. Dimitri pauses for a moment, thoughtful. "What sort of things have you found fulfilling, while we have all been fending for ourselves here?"
