We may be dreams apart

Who: Ryner, his Hisuian Growlithe, and whoever
Where: Hisui, largely the Base Camp and Obsidian Fieldlands
When: whenever in July, really
Summary: It's yet another catch all log! Current prompts include grumbling while gathering resources, basic cartography, and snoozing in odd places, but go with your heart.
Rating: Shouldn't go higher than PG, but I'll edit if that changes. Also I will match your style.
Log:

.I. - Resource Gathering

"Rose is probably pissed, isn't she..."

Ryner's in the middle of the woods at the moment, doing some mushroom gathering. He is, of course, paying close attention to his surroundings, to make sure he and his partner Growlithe don't get jumped by any unexpected wild Pokemon as they search for their quarry, but, well, Ryner is Ryner.

And Ryner copes by complaining.

"I mean, the others are probably worried too, but most of them are a lot more reasonable than she can get sometimes. And this is the first time she's been away from me for even half this long since the day we met."

It's not like he's yelling or anything, but he's not exactly trying for stealth either, even as he bends down to pluck a mushroom from beneath a tree and inspect it. This is the right type, right?

He turns as he hears the padding of cheerful paws coming over - looks like his partner Growlithe has retrieved a mushroom as well. He gratefully takes the mushroom from its jaws and adds it to the collection before idly asking, "Do you think Rose will use Thunderbolt first, or Ice Beam? Ahh, I doubt she'll hit me with Flamethrower unless we're out by the pond, she knows better than that..."

"Grow?" The Growlithe tilts its head with a wag of its tail. Is everything okay?

.II. - An Attempt At Cartography

Ignoring the situation that led everyone here, this is a pretty nice place. A nice river, some nice woods, very little in terms of human settlement. At night, the stars are more vibrant than he's seen in years, too - even Ecruteak has some light pollution.

That said, Ryner is certain that he's never seen any records of any of this in any book he's looked through in the past decade. And he's a bit of a bookworm. But, annoyance at the universe once again conspiring to add new locations out of the blue aside...

If the records don't exist, he'll just have to make them and bring them back himself (working under the assumption that this is temporary and they'll eventually make it back, but if that doesn't happen he knows Rose will kill him, so). So that's why he's out by the riverside near camp today, notebook and pen in hand, attempting to start a basic map of the area, as well as taking assorted notes.

Anything is more than nothing, after all.

His Growlithe companion trots cheerfully at his side, keeping an eye out for wild Pokemon and otherwise enjoying the breeze.

.III. - Afternoon Naps

If you're about in or around base camp at the height of the mid-afternoon sun, you might come across an interesting sight.

Namely, you might find Ryner, asleep, in any number of odd places.

Maybe he's taking a nap on a conveniently-placed boulder, or under a tree, or possibly in a tree. But there he is, just taking a nap in a random place. (If he's on the ground, his Growlithe partner is probably curled up next to him.)

Do you wake him up? Chastise him for slacking off? Prank him? That's up to you, he's asleep and can't stop you.

.IV. - Wildcard

Have a different idea? Feel free to PM me!

"Yeah, there's lots of space and not many people around."

Also, his usual guardian is going through caffeine withdrawal and thus not really surprising the kid right now.

"Umm... maybe the easiest place is the plains? There's a marsh, too, and a beach..."

"Oh, that's easy! They're not very far, you just keep going that way..."

Cue an actually very detailed and precise set of directions to the Obsidian Fieldlands. Included, if Ryner doesn't stop him, descriptions of some of the most efficient routes to take once there, and so on.

Apparently Shrike has been doing a fair bit of exploring.
