[incredibulukami]

( who; ) amaterasu & anyone else.
( when; ) beginning of march.
( where; ) new bark town.
( summary; ) amaterasu hath arrive'd. and she's trying to sort out things.
( warning(s); ) n/a - will add if needed.


( there is a petite, blue haired young lady crouched down with her arms draped over her knees to be at the same level as the fennekin whom is sitting just in front of its trainer. for the time being, they simply stare at one another as though locked in some powerfully important staring contest. they remain as such for some time, in silence, until amaterasu finally shifts her footing which causes the fennekin to peer down at her moving feet. )

So.

( amaterasu lifts a hand from her knee and, as fennekin looks up again, presses the pad of her finger in a light "boop" to its nose. )

You are now Amaterasu's partner, yes?

( the fennekin nods.

to people passing by or simply noticing it, the exchange is a little... odd. but given the way she just sort of arrived in a house that wasn't hers, waking in a bed that also certainly wasn't hers, to a mother who was lacking in the "hers" department also... perhaps it isn't as odd a thing as it could be. )

What is Amaterasu meant to do with you now? Do you like to nap? Amaterasu likes to nap, we could try that, maybe?

Fennekin...

[crystalmaster]

[The happy sound of an Eevee rings out and she appears, warbling happily at both of them. A young man dressed like a motorcycle punk runs after her, laughing.]

Evie! Come on! You can't say Hi to everyone in the world!

["Vee!" Evie says proudly. She can try!]

[incredibulukami]

( the sound of the eevee chirping as she dashes over gets both the kami and her pokemon's attention. amaterasu raises her brows at it but remains crouching. the nap will have to wait. )

Uwah? Who is this cute critter?

( she glances to the person coming along with the creature and ... still remains crouching with her fennekin. )

Oh, hello! Are you wanting to nap with Fennekin and Amaterasu, too, little creature?

( she glances to the midgardian ( she assumes, wrongly ) and lifts a hand in greeting. )

You can nap, too, if you want.

[crystalmaster]

[ "Vee!" says Evie. She seems much more inclined to play than nap.

The biker is taken aback by the question directed at him. That was random, and could be taken inappropriately. But somehow he doesn't think she means it in a sexy way, so he doesn't respond the way he would in that case.]

Ah ... thanks, but no, we're here visiting my Skitty's breeder. She likes to see her, so we come by now and then when we're in the area.

[He indicates a small pink cat trotting at his heels.]

This is Cuddles. The Eevee is Evie. I'm Radley.

[He smiles.]

[incredibulukami]

( she absolutely does not mean it in any inappropriate manner because she's very dim and oblivious to that sort of thing, as it were. she's not even the sort who realizes that it could be taken that way in the first place. the kami just reeeally likes to nap. )

Oh?

( she leans to peer at the cat-like pokemon and then glances to her canine-like one, hoping they aren't going to be some sort of natural enemies with one another. )

You have interesting names, Amaterasu likes them.

( finally, she stands to her full ( tiny ) height and ... can't levitate. she puffs her cheeks at the re-realization because she already knew it from trying earlier but there was always hope for later. amaterasu bitterly folds her arms beneath her chest but the irritation fades quickly when she looks to the other. )

Did you name them yourself? Should Amaterasu name this one?

[crystalmaster]

Thanks.

[Radley smiles.]

Cuddles' breeder named her. I named all of my other Pokemon. Some people don't name theirs at all, but I think it's nicer.

[incredibulukami]

Hmm, yes, yes... Amaterasu supposes it gives them individuality!

( that's probably one of the wisest things she's ever said. )

Breeding? So, they make more of the cute feline?

[crystalmaster]

It really does. And it's very helpful when you need to call them.

[Radley smirks, then smiles.]

Yeah. She has a whole bunch every year and just gives them to good homes. I breed Eevees, but I charge money for it.

[incredibulukami]

Hmm. Amaterasu supposes that that makes sense, too.

( she points at radley! )

You are a brilliant mind! Amaterasu will have to think of a name for this little one then...

( she raises her brows rather high. )

Ooh, what do you do with all of them? How come people buy them? What people can buy them? How many?

( the mun is sorry for all the muse's rapid fire questions. )

[crystalmaster]

[Radley is amused and the rapid-fire questions remind him of a friend back home.]

People love the little darlings and sometimes want them to know special moves that the wild ones might not. Or they live where they can't easily find them in the wild. Anyone can technically buy them, but I screen all potential applicants to make sure they'll be loving and kind. I have several couples, so by this point I can sometimes end up with 15 or so eggs to home if they all make eggs at the same time! I keep one or two from most batches unless there's too many orders to do that.

[incredibulukami]

Hm...

( she's impressed that he was able to respond to everything so quickly and with lots of information! she steeples her fingers together while he talks and although she's literally a brand new trainer, she can't help but to ask: )

Can Amaterasu have one?

( dream big, sweet kami. )

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles.]

I can put you on the waiting list for the next batch.

[He'll want to watch her a little more, but he likes how she seems to be so far.]

They might be out of your price range for a while, though.

[incredibulukami]

Oh! Well, that's better than a "no."

( she tilts her head though. what are prices again? kami don't tend to spend "money" on much. or rather have money to even spend, really. )

How does one do prices? Er, Amaterasu means ... What does money do? To work, that is.

( such great english. )

[crystalmaster]

[Hmm.... Radley ponders how to explain this, and wonders what world she comes from that she doesn't need it.]

It's ... something you give someone when you want something they're selling. Different kinds of money are different amounts, depending on what they think they're selling is worth.

[incredibulukami]

( not "need" it, per se. but she definitely doesn't understand it being a goddess. )

Huh. Like a bartering?

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, similar to that. Prices with money are usually more firm, though.

[incredibulukami]

( she gives a light shrug having vaguely understood him. money sounds lousy to her but she's not earned any yet, so, that might change! )

How come the person with the kitties does not ask for money?

[crystalmaster]

I'm not really sure. I guess she just breeds them for the love of it and doesn't feel like she needs money for it?

[chazz_it_up]

[Ever since he got here, Chazz had been working on getting his starter into shape. On one of his breaks, he headed into town. Spotting the familiar face Chazz is tempted ... To keep right on walking but when he hears what she says to her monster he comes up with his own commentary.]

If you're just going to treat it like a house pet, you can hand it over to me.

[Not that Fennekin looked like a powerhouse. Far from it. With a little training though, who knows. Besides, Chazz didn't have six monsters to call upon yet and he could use other types.]

[incredibulukami]

( oh. it's that guy again. she bristles at the audacity of him and stands huffily, resting her hands to her hips. )

Excuse me princess? Amaterasu can treat Fennekin how Amaterasu wants to! Just because I'm showing her affection does not mean Amaterasu isn't going to train her or let her battle!

( fennekin bristles just like her trainer and emits a low growl at chazz. )

How very dare you attempt to take my pokémon!

( how very dare, indeed! fennekin decides to give him a piece of her mind on the subject and sucking in a breath, she cries out "fennekiiiin!" as she ignites ember to spit at him angrily for suggesting that she might part from amaterasu for any reason at all! )

[chazz_it_up]

[The effect isn't all that threatening, so he just smirks and shakes his head.]

Fine, do what ever you want but if you keep babying that thing and it's never going to have the mettle to face an opponent in combat. When it's faced with a challenge it'll just run back to you and curl up behind you for protection.

[He flippantly waves a hand to the side]

You should be flattered that I'd even want it.

[Don't think he missed that growling, Fennekin. The assault he couldn't have predicated though...]

Woah, hey! What's your problem!?

[He danced from one foot to the other in order to try and dodge the effective yet puny flame]

You're just going to let it attack me?!

[incredibulukami]

If you treat creatures with kindness, then they're going to listen to you better than just forcing them to train all the time!

( she's not wrong in her method of training but neither is chazz. both are effective for training pokémon. it depends on the trainer and their pokémon entirely. whatever works for one trainer doesn't necessarily work for the other... but the point here is that he's insulting amaterasu's pokémon and it seems neither she nor the fennekin is going to stand for it. )

Amaterasu finds nothing flattering about you at all, especially your attitude!

( it don't impress fennekin much, either. normally pokémon don't really attack trainers but this time is a special occasion. )

Fennekin! Kin!

You're the one insulting her, she's allowed to defend herself.

[chazz_it_up]

Says you- but how many monsters have you actually sent into combat before? I should think my experience with Duel Monsters counts for something.

[Yeah, because virtual monsters are totally the same as physical ones. Or whatever these Pokémon are. His current tactics might be working with druddigon but that didn't mean it would apply to every monster he caught in the future.]

That goes both ways, you know.

[He was about to add more when the fireball racing through the air towards him, cut him off.]

How did I insult her?! I was insulting you!

[Which makes it all better.. somehow]

[incredibulukami]

Uweh? Amaterasu has fought alongside of many monsters like Fenrir, Nidhogg, Garm, Ofnir, Hraesvelgr, Fafnir, Vidofnir...

( she's checking off the names via her fingers one by one the more she speaks.

she narrows her eyes to him because she's been insulted enough by this pathetic little midgardian. her fingers twitch as though she still tries to light her palms aflame -- because she does. she longs for the fire that her fennekin appears to be able to control. the best thing she's able to do at this point is just use the small creature vicariously and hope that it starts to feel better without her powers, somehow. )

To insult the master is to insult the beautiful creature under the master's tutelage!

( or something. either way, fennekin isn't pleased with the way this other trainer is talking to hers and has had enough of it. the low growl emits again as though warning him off. )

Amaterasu's training just fine, so, mind your business, Midgardian!

[chazz_it_up]

[This admission actually shuts Chazz up for a few moments as he assesses the validity of her claim. Sure, he's never heard of these monsters before and he has no idea that she means real-kaiju-sized creatures of mass destruction but... she's still a chick. Into monsters.

That in itself is kind of rare.]

Those better not be the names of your stuffed animals.

[Don't toy with him like that.

Amaterasu is clearly about to blow her top and this makes him consciously takes a step back out of fist range. He learned enough from the last time that this wasn't someone to get into a physical altercation with.]

If that's how you want to take it, I can't stop you.

[Shrugging it off nonchalantly. Although he didn't appreciate all the growling and his near introduction to spontaneous combustion, it just didn't seem to him that he was losing this exchange.]

I'm minding, I'm minding.... I just can't wait to beat that little furball of yours in real combat. [A cruel laugh escaped his lips.]

[incredibulukami]

( valid to him or not, it doesn't change the facts that it's the truth: she's worked with several beasts in her time. and they're her friends, so! yes, she happens to be a lady who likes monsters. not quite duel monsters but lets face it, she would like those too. )

What?! Amaterasu has no time for stuffed animals. Who do you think I am? Mani? ( she lifts a hand to cover her mouth as though telling some kind of secret: ) But to be honest, Mani is no Tsukuyomi, either! Fufufu~

As if you were not trying to be insulting by picking on my methods to train my Baby Fenrir!

( that's right. she... named her fennekin baby fenrir. who chirps in agreement with amaterasu -- who bristles shortly thereafter. )

How very dare you! Amaterasu will destroy you!

( in battle or with fists, though? who knows. )
