Companion Creature Gathering

[asyourleader]

WHO: Byakuya Twogami and OPEN
WHAT: Twogami's organised a gathering for the influx of unwitting new Pokémon parents (and some more experienced ones) to network and gather information.
WHEN: Early April
WHERE: Amberfall cafe event space
WARNINGS: Mostly cute things but possibly trauma in Twogami's TL



After posting to the network about his plans to host a gathering for everyone who'd suddenly been gifted with Pokémon eggs. That way, at least they could exchange some sort of information- and let their new companions make some friends and training buddies!

...and so, despite the restlessness in his mind, he grit his teeth and set about organising another party.

Twogami had carefully selected the back rooms of a stylish cafe in Amberfall for the event, with elegant curtains framing wide glass doors that opened up onto an outdoor seating area.

The larger of the rooms sported a wooden floor - easy for clean up, and well-maintained - and it was here that he had seen to the catering, with tables against two of the walls containing a multitude of buffet-style foods and drinks. Beside that, a wide selection of Pokémon and pet treats on a lower table, that's easier for the little ones to get to. There's plenty of places about the room to sit, eat and talk, with the tables just spread out enough for Pokémon to go running around.

The adjacent room has been set out as something of a quiet space, for those who might find themselves a little overwhelmed by the activities. There's beanbags, blankets and other soft furnishings, along with a table of information; Twogami had collected plenty of information about the new creatures they've found- some in physical books, others copies of his own notes that have been printed and set into ring-binders for anyone to take home with them.

The outside area was primarily set out for their new companion creatures to play and run around, with different types of toys and games to keep them amused- including a spacious inflatable pool and a marked off area for them to test out their battle abilities, should they choose!

[OOC: It's an open mingle, start your own TLs, tag around do whatever your heart desires~]

Eren almost doesn't bother showing up, since he doesn't have any weird eggs. What he does have is a weird Pokemon, though. He's had Yamask for as long as he's been in Ellipsa, though he had no idea what a Pokemon even was then.

Unlike many other Pokemon, Yamask is shy. It mostly hides behind Eren's leg, peeking out at all the other Pokemon and people.

"Don't you want to make friends for once?" Eren asks it. It just looks up at him with that same teary face it always has. He shrugs.

"Fine, let's just get some food, then," he says.

Yamask is a high level ghost type who has accidentally cursed inanimate objects in the past (unbeknownst to Eren). It isn't combative, but it's a little weird and unpredictable as a creepy lil ghost creature. Still, it could use a friend! So could Eren, but you know.

"Eren-san! Your friend is cute!"

Mecchan peers curiously over from his position latched onto Rinku's shoulder. Another anxious Pokémon who cries? Kindred spirit?

"What kind is it, do you know?" Rinku smiles, tail wagging.

Eren looks down at Yamask. It peers up at him, then floats a little higher to look out at Rinku. It still stays behind him, but it's...a start.

"You think so?" he asks. Eren doesn't really know what most people consider cute, but he knows some people have been kind of scared of Yamask before.

"It's a Yamask. Uh...a ghost," he says. "What's yours?"

[roundandaround]

"Oh, a Ghost-type!"

Rinku smiles and waves. Mecchan, trembling, raises his little front leg and waves shyly, then looks away.

"Mecchan is a Sobble, a Water-type. He doesn't really fight, but I've taught him how to defend himself and stuff. Hina-chan's around here somewhere -- oh, there she is!" She points at Hina flying around the play area. "She's a Zubat, so she's Flying/Poison. Don't worry, she doesn't actually poison anyone... though she does like to bite."

[Rather than Hijikata, it's his man-sized Aegislash that first silently floats up to Eren and his Yamask to inspect its smaller ghost peer. It eerily and unblinkingly stares with its single eye... until the samurai, who was talking to Rinku a stone's throw away, notices its absence, excuses himself to her, and comes jogging over.]

Eren, Yamask - how are you? Maken isn't bothering you, is he?

[He playfully jiggles the sword pokémon by its pommel, a stand-in for a hair ruffle.]
