[2nd Scene] [Action for Cherrygrove]

[silver_lucifer]

[This is a joint post between Ritz and Kuja; replies will come from either or both, if there’s a preference just specify in subject line!]

[The Cherrygrove Pokémon center is going to get an Entrance, courtesy of two certain new arrivals to Johto who’ve been stranded on Route 29, delayed by the storms and water swarms, and are now very much not their usual selves – cleaning supplies have run out, the weather has had a nice laugh at their otherwise vaguely decent camping setup, and they both look a bit more dirty, frazzled, and ragged than usual; Kuja’s changed out of his usual armor and silks are stained, although not as much as they probably should be, and is now wearing although he does seem in weirdly better shape than Ritz by this point.]

Oh sweet civilization, how beautiful you are – I think we’ve discovered a wondrous palace-

BATH. NOW.

[That small exchange is all that’s overheard before there’s doors shutting and they become shameless mooches on the showers. It may be nearly impossible to interrupt this agenda.]

[A while later, Kuja’s the first one out, still fussing a little at his one change of clothes, but at least in a less “obstruct my path and die” mood visibly -]

AAAAUUUGHHHH!!!!!

[Although apparently the same can’t be said of Ritz, who has her hair in a towel as she emerges and an epic Scowl of Death.]

I've never had any before. []

We get to live off of granola bars and mixed nuts to the next town! [That is the most sarcastically cheerful tone ever.]

Wonderful. [] I certainly hope there's a decent place to get real food while we're getting supplies here; I am not living off of that while we're in town.

...That's stuff you only live off of if you have to. I get the impression we won't be able to do much in the way of hunting, but we may be able to forage. [Ritz is letting her hair down carefully and frowning at it. Geh.]

[] Likely; there has to be something that can be found along the way - the pokémon have to live off something, after all. []

If you think it would help, it shouldn't be difficult to find something to put it back - I'd be surprised if there weren't a shop that had ribbons or hair clips and combs.

That's not the problem. The problem is it being visible. [It's pretty clear she doesn't think so.]

I know back home they were talking about making freeze-dried camping food... I say we find some real dinner, first.

[silver-lucifer.livejournal.com]

[] It's not that far off...

[] Indeed. There has to be a decent restaurant in this town, and we can worry about finding travel rations after.

[Ritz looks completely fascinated by putting her stuff back.] It's not the same.

[She's just going to sigh heavily after she puts her stuff back.] Let's just go find some real food, alright?

Agreed.
