Come on Grumpy, you know you can't resist the power of friendship/hugs

Just read caught up with the quest.

>>28385231
His manly stache makes him too old for this kind of shit.

>>28385124
>Maid entering Grumpy's room
>"It smells like rust"
>Checks under the bed
>There is a bunch of spoons soaked in sweat rusting under the bed.
>Grumpy comes in
>Teleports away

>>28385242
Cool. Welcome to the fold, cadet.

and I thought I wouldn't be able to come up with something to procrastinate with

now it is time for the age old question:

is Grumpy a big spoon or a little spoon?

>>28385329
Twisted spoon.

>>28385329
Tea spoon, of course.

>>28385329
broken spoon

Goldenrod's eyes drift open and you feel a pain in the back of your mind as he glares at you with deadly eyes.

He growls through his mouth and mind, "You, I hate you. Why are you here?)
His gaze lingers upon you momentarily before shifting to his mother.

"Mommy,) His voices grow meek,"Why did you bring this girl here?)

Sabrina waves a hand and an unseen force knocks Goldenrod in the side of his face. You turn your head to meet Sabrina's eye, seeing nothing but what they reflect.
"I have told you to control your emotions Goldenrod. She is your guest, and you will treat her with at least a modicum of respect."

Conceding, the boy nods slowly, speaking through words this time," Welcome to our gym, Cerulean. I... am sorry for leaving so suddenly."

>Goldenrod has a moustache

Can't help but see Goldie as a blonde Gordito, now.

>>28385385
the pastebin says -3 when it should be -2 because we are at 6 ten and that is 4 bellow 10, which means -2

>>28385342
I see what you did there.

>>28385404
"I was worried about you."

>>28385404
"You couldn't even bother to leave a note? I was worried about you!"

>>28385426
I think that's understating it.

>>28385404
"G-Goldie! I was so worried about you!"
Rush over to hug em.
"Don't leave like that anymore without telling me!"

>>28385404
>>What do you say?
I was worried sick about you! What happened?

>>28385404
"I'm glad you're okay!"

>>28385445
feint attack hug

>>28385404
Well, general consensus seems to be to tell him that we were worried for him.

But I think we should tell Sabrina that we're fine with how Goldie acts with us. We're used to how caustic he can be. It would probably annoy her that we're trying to undermine her authority, but it'd show Goldie that we don't mind how he can be a jerk sometimes (read: most of the times).

>>28385492
That'd more likely freak em out.
Dark is initially evil and all.

>>28385497
oh yes. Mention we don't care about that stuff, if we have the presense of mind to.

you guys realize that with our abominable biology, hugs will become less effective, right?

>>28385405
what kind of mustache?

>>28385404
We should make it clear that we're glad he's okay, above anything else.

>>28385525
They're just a little chilly right now.
I'm sure he can deal.

>>28385505
but this is the "blank" dark, not the "murder" dark

>>28385525
I disagree, with feint attack hug, it will be super effective.

>>28385404
>>28385511
I could make a case for it, if need be.

>>28385525
We still look fine. Definitely not inhuman enough for our look to be disconcerting.

>>28385525
We got a little colder, but a whole heckton fluffier.

>>28385569
We need you

>>28385404
"Leader Sabrina, I much prefer Goldie's honesty over hollow words. Could we have some privacy?"

Try to get some privacy, if we're talking to him as he's being intimidated by his mother into behaving we aren't actually going to get anywhere.

Hopefully Sabrina leaves. Also, if let Goldie into our mind, it'll show that we're being honest and he can see some of the stuff we went through today.

"I'm here because you're my teammate, and more importantly, you're my friend. You never leave a teammate behind, and I can't ignore it when my friend needs help."

Limp our way over to him, slowly start crying as we walk.

"You should've been there when I woke up. I was scared and cold, it hurt so much, and you were gone. Why weren't you there? Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

Then pull him into as tight a hug as we can manage, turn off the cold as much as we can. We should be able to turn the Freezer Array down, the layers upon layers of fur and blubber should insulate us from any outside warmth, and insulate Goldie from us being cold inside. Break down into full sobbing.

"I'm just glad you're alright Goldie. I care about you, I will always be there for you, and I need you too."

>>28385569
>>28385581
Only if it can be expressed quickly, because we're feeling kind of leg-exploded here

>>28385571
If I'm not mistake the cat fur is only on our back and such. Our front still has the soft seel fur.

>>28385497
It is worth pointing out. I don't think his latest declaration of hate even phased us.

>>28385404

"Do you have any idea how worried we were? Do you have any idea how angry I am?"

>>28385590
Too dramatic for my tastes.

Tone it down.

>>28385590
this is good. very good. very very good.

>>28385581
Oh, a-a-anon. I didn't know you thought of me that way.

>>28385597
We're not actually injured. One of our stitches just came apart from overexerting ourselves. Definitely some pain, but it's mostly our nerves that took the hit. We won't be passing out any time soon and if we choose to roleplay Cerulean as being unphased by Goldie's latest declaration of hatred, the relief at seeing him safe will let us forget about it.

>>28385630
'Course, if we choose to be angry at him, that's a different matter.

>>28385404
Prof, some anons on the QTG mentioned that we're missing Ice Body and +1 tenacity in the pastebin.

>>28385124
So how long until we meet one of these.

>>28385664
but this is a dramatic moment, a very dramatic moment.

>>28385688
And he's saying it's too dramatic.

We're 10 years old, after all. Making dramatic speeches is, like, still 4 years away for us.

WHATEVER WE DO, DO NOT MENTION HIS EVOLUTION.

make him be the first one to bring it up, because IC we give 0 fucksabout evol or not. and he was probably worried about it

>>28385590
10lbs of melodrama in a 5 lbs bag

are husbando'ing him?

>>28385686
Probably never as they are from a distant region.

>>28385709
I agree with this. Lets stick to hugging.

>>28385709
but that isn't a speech, it is a series of events.

2.5 lines of dialouge.

>>28385549
>>28385571
You are aware that the warmth of the human body provides most of the comfort from hugs right. A cold hug would be miserable.

>>28385590
Definatly going with this, not to wordy for a 10 year old.

>>28385590
Only reasonable response here.

At least is isn't like one of the Lamia Quest speeches.

>>28385590
I like the move for privacy, but the rest is, as said elsewhere, too melodramatic.

>>28385713

This is a good point. This would be the time to husbando him to some degree if you wish.

I'll adjust this>>28385590
If other anons are set on it.

>>28385404
"I am not his guest.

You said I could see my friend, and my friend is allowed to call me a stupid fish and say he hates me."

Then tell Goldie how worried he made us, that he's our friend and we care about him. End with a hug.

>>28385743
warmth is expected, being touched/protected is needed

replace warmth with cold and you'll confuse the body and be worse off than had you not hugged them. Instead you should focus on less instinctual actions, like hand holding or something

>>28385743
we can focus on turning it down as much as possible. plus its the thought that counts.

>>28385797
go with it. but no husbandooing for now

>>28385797
I am not set on it.
I'd prefer something simple.

>>28385797
Make it less melodramatic and I could roll with it.

I really dislike longwinded speeches.

>>28385676

Sometimes, anger is a sign of caring about someone too. Cerulean almost left the dome in search of him, that's serious.

>>28385797
go for it. but im set on mah lesbainsim

>>28385797
Please no husbandoing.

Please no.

We should just be friends with him.

Please make it shorter and less dramatic.

>>28385797
too elaborate for my tastes

just
I was worried
are you okay?
then hug

>>28385743
>>28385571
>>28385525
Is our body naturally cold? The cold sacs just lower them to a comfortable temperature, right?

>>28385590
Wording really needs to be changed (your style of speech is totally unsuited to Cerulean), but I'm sure Prof can handle that.

>>28385815
>>28385823
Prof said he'd adjust it for Cerulean. He's just getting the gist of the idea, I believe.

>>28385797
Sure. Minor husbandoing is fine too.

>>28385847
agreed

>>28385713
Maybe a little bit. It's part of it, and some is making him feel that we also rely on him. He doesn't want to be pitied, and friendship isn't a one way street. Just like we need to be there for him, sometimes he needs to be there for us. We don't just pity him, we actually want him to be there for us.

>>28385797
Needs a some modification but yeah.

>>28385823
look at the actual amount of talking

>>28385797
Tone it down a tad, if you please. Like, to a reasonable level, and I'm fine.
Also try and get Sabrina to leave.

>>28385797
>>28385856
This is an important sentiment to get through, yes.

>>28385851
and sure, why not have a heterosexual female quest protag?

bi-curiosity can come later

>>28385797
Too early for real husbandoing. Now that he will be kicking ass telekinetically we might see him different, but at this point his een more on the 'friend in need' side.

>>28385823
>>28385847
"I'm here because you're my teammate, and more importantly, you're my friend. You never leave a teammate behind, and I can't ignore it when my friend needs help."
"You should've been there when I woke up. I was scared and cold, it hurt so much, and you were gone. Why weren't you there? Do you have any idea how worried I was?"
"I'm just glad you're alright Goldie. I care about you, I will always be there for you, and I need you too."

not very many words

>>28385887
>>28385797
Yeah, we don't necessarily have to go full on into husbandoing mode with Goldie, but it'd be fine if we took the opportunity to seed it here.

>>28385887
He doesn't want to just be the "friend in need".

He may need some help, but he also needs to be able to help people.

>>28385902
Good enough, but the last line is just a bit too much.

>>28385852

Your blood is just above freezing temperature.

>Writing.
>Toning down Melodrama
>Scant husbandoing.

>>28385856
>We don't just pity him, we actually want him to be there for us.

I agree with that sentiment I just feel its too dramatic and all its missing is a declaration of love.

I don't mind Ceru having a crush on him. Kids feeling puppy love is natural.

Just remember guys, we're 10 years old.

>>28385931
so, it's at 273 K

wonderful

>>28385902
The problem is the wording, anon. It doesn't fit Cerulean's speech style at all.

>>28385931
>Your blood is just above freezing temperature.
But what of our hugs, Prof? What of our hugs?

I guess the blubber is coming in useful now.

>>28385797
This works. Tone it down a notch, make sure to include asking Sabrina to leave and that we also need Grumpy.

>>28385931
>Scant Husbandoing
Eh, wouldn't surprise me if Ceru had a tiny crush on a bunch of boys.
Grumpy for playing hard to get.
Bruise cuz muscles.

Still though, we're 10 years old n' all.

>>28385946
Mm, yes. Romancing can come when we're older. For now, we're just laying down potentialities.

Rolled 14

>>28385797
Showing that we care about our friends? Yes

Husbando'ing? We aren't to THAT stage yet.

>>28385931
Yeah but there's a layer of blubber and two layers of fur between us and the outside world. Considering that those are both excellent insulators we should be able to keep our hugs from being cold if we can fiddle with the Freezer Array. They might not be immediately warm, they'll just trap the other person's body heat and warm them up that way.

Like hugging a polar bear.

>>28385986
Man.
You guys.
You guys
I just had a thought you guys
Imagine how different our hugs would be if we were implanted with Vulpix grafts.

The cuddles would be unending.

>>28385124
Is there a pdf for this? I want to tabletop it

>>28385978
>Still though, we're 10 years old n' all.
This reminds me of this funny anecdote. I was a 8 year old kid and I was sitting in a row with a few friends. Our teacher was playing some sort of song and we were all swaying side to side. While we were at this, I felt this touch on my cheek that was making it wet. I didn't realize it, but the girl at my side had been kissing me for some reason throughout the song. When I turned my head, she kissed me on the lips.

Ah, memories.....That was the only kiss I've ever received from a girl so far..... ;.;

>>28386011
That's our rival.

We will compete in hugs.

Her advantage will be her natural warmth.

Ours will be our soft body.

>>28386040
Huh
That's really peculiar anon. Sweet story though.
Is that what a 8 year old slut is like?

>>28385981
its just puppy love

holding hands
embarrassed glances

I was surprisingly popular as a little kid. Aside from that girl, there were two others. One with braces and lots of cavities (though I thought she was cute). We danced together once and she hugged me close. The other was this girl who wore these short shorts.....she, uh....she had me touch her thighs because she enjoyed how it tickled.

I wish I was still that popular today. The possibilities. 'Course, losing my innocence could have been the cause for that lost in charm....

Puberty's a bitch like that. Sound like nice girls though. Too bad none of them had Seel parts.

>>28385124
Just saw the opening theme and wow. Bravo to who ever did this

let's just tell him we were worried. not hard decision.

Limping forward, you join your friend beneath the red light of what you see now to be stained glass with sunlight filtering through.
"Leader Sabrina.. Ummm, can I talk to my friend, alone?" You look back to the stoic woman, her eyes reflecting the scarlet gleam like mirrors.
Goldenrod growls back within his throat at the mention of friends, yet his mother's stare silences that notion quickly,"I will remove my presence, however I will be listening." Her eyes soften open Goldenrod, a crack in her mask,"It is a mother's duty to watch over her child after all."
Sabrina nods, and turns to leave as though through a door, and vanishes.

"You did not need to come here. I did not ask to be found." He bows his head with something like a guilt upon his conscience.
You shake your head as you get closer to him, feeling more strain upon your stitches at your icy poultice, you flinch and nearly fall over.

Before your face meets the stone, you feel light as a feather all of a sudden, as you're set down gently.
You look to Grumpy, eyes big and wary, he frowns and looks away," It would've been bad if you hurt yourself more. Even though I hate you." He pulls his knees into his body, hiding his mouth, and more notably, his mustache.

Gingerly flipping yourself over, you release a cold sigh," Grumpy, you know that doesn't work on me." You give him a slight giggle until you wince in pain from your wound, your leg locking up as you try to freeze through the damage.
"Something does though. You stupid fat fish, you should've stayed in bed, really, why are you here?"

You look down at your leg, clutching a hand over the bandages, the stitching of your hands still in the process of healing," I'm here because you weren't there Grumpy. Bruise was there for me when I woke up, you weren't."
Pushing back a pained tear, you look to the shy boy," So, I had to find you." You smile, your inhuman teeth sending a shiver through his body.

"Because, well, because I was worried." You begin to feel dizzy...

"That's not a good enough reason. Mother just started to look at me like a real student, I didn't need your help, I didn't ask for it."

"You... You don't need to.. Ask for my... Help..." Everything begins to go fuzzy, and Goldenrod rises up, staring down at you in the red room.

"You stupid fish... You should worry about yourself more." Everything goes dark, as you slip out of consciousness.
___________________________________________________________________________

>>28386600
Totally forgot about the shark smile.

Seeing that on a 10 year old girl has gotta be pretty surreal.

>>28386600
Also we were kind of worried you went outside the dome.

>>28386621
I cannot tell how he is reacting to us and i am infinitely worried.

>>28386621
Cerulean made it for quite a while, really. What a trooper.

>>28386600
>Her eyes soften open Goldenrod, a crack in her mask,"It is a mother's duty to watch over her child after all."
This woman. Can't tell if she's emotionally manipulating Goldie. If this was the first time she'd ever shown him any tenderness, though, I'd be leaning on the suspicious side.

Guess we could go talk to Goldie more about his mother. I mean, after having met her personally like this, it'd be a natural sequence of events.

>>28386621
>"You... You don't need to.. Ask for my... Help..."
This was a nice line, Prof. I liked it.

Also, Prof, is our tenacity supposed to be at 6 or 7? Since we had a net +1 last thread, I think? And some anon on QTG mentioned something about Ice Body? Apparently, it's missing from the pastebin?

>>28386621
Ah and next we get to wake up in the hospital vomiting blood.

>>28386660
That last line is what you should analyze, anon.

Goldie is such a tsundere.

The mustache makes it even better.

We burned 1 and lost 2 last time. And gained 3. Net gain was 0.

>>28386621
>>28386600
Is it weird that I find the saber tooth smile really adorable on a 10 year old who's desperately trying to appear sincere?

Ah...well good, Grumpy seems okay, and he hasn't changed much. He's definitely here of his own free will, and for good reason now. His powers are strong with Kadabra coming out. We'll visit him periodically, and maybe Alexis too but for now he's absolutely right. We need to rest.

>>28386600
>He pulls his knees into his body, hiding his mouth, and more notably, his mustache.
Puberty. Uuuuuugh. So that really was the reason. EUUUUUUGH.

Goldie. You don't have to push us away because of that.

We love a man with a stylish 'stache.

>>28386683
>a net +1 last thread,

That was not including a burnt tenacity to deny a crit.

>>28386708
I am analyzing it and i am still unsure if he is calling us weak or if he cares about us.

>>28386736
I don't

>>28386705
I look forward to quicktime blood vomit events

>>28386752
>>28386736
Well, if this is any indication, Goldie is definitely self-conscious about what we think of his appearance.

>>28386749
Ah my mistake.

>>28386749
Ah, alright. What about the Ice Body thing? I can't remember that being mentioned, but the anon on the QTG spoke like you were intending to add it to the pastebin.

>>28386683
Sabrina is a heartless bitch, but she's heartless for the right reasons. Even then, she doesn't seem to be able to suppress her emotion all the time.

By all accounts she's a great leader, even if her methods are a little extreme.

>>28386705
You mean vomiting frozen chunks of blood.

>>28386660
He's got some issues, but he's actually working through them a bit, he feels less worthless, and I think he likes us. Though he doesn't know how to act on liking us so he insults us, and going through the pokemon equivalent of puberty and growing a mustache isn't helping matters when it comes to girls.

>>28386736
We'll be sure to complement his facial hair later.

>>28386708
the tsundere part would be more obvious if it was more.

"Y-Y-You stupid fish! You should worry about yourself more!"


assuming he is tsundere

>>28386762
full beard is best beard you heathen

>>28386810
I was thinking more tsun than dere, anon. Variants.

are you hoping for mega evolution?

pshaw, he learns Miracle Eye naturally.

>>28386834
I don't mind the tsun as long as there's some dere.


Wonder if we wake up with Goldy in our room napping off in the corner...

>>28386730
Alexis sits with her shaved head lowered despondently. She doesn't look up before addressing you. "Why are you here? I'm worthless, even after Sabrina's most intense training. I let Caiss die, and I couldn't even beat you after you hobbled in here still covered in bandages and stitches. Now Sabrina won't even teach me the next set." She sighs and seems to shrink in further upon herself. "Even she's done wasting her time on me. Just leave me alone."

You take a deep breath to steady yourself and then sit next to her. "Alexis... I did everything wrong yesterday. When I woke up and heard that Goldenrod had been missing for 2 days, I left the hospital and started looking even though I had just nearly died on the operating table. Because I was scared of losing a team mate. When I found out he was at his home gym and not to be disturbed, that you had been through SOMETHING and you would be 'spared further intensive training' if I accepted a duel, I did. Because I was scared of what I had heard about Sabrina, and what she might be doing. When I saw you, and how much you had changed," you pause for a moment to look at her, hoping to meet her eyes, then grasp her hand, "how strong you were," and squeeze, "I was scared. I was scared of the situation I had gotten myself into. I was scared I might die, and I let my fear control me. Out of fear I used techniques I never should have, that would have killed you if Sabrina hadn't intervened." You swallow the lump in your throat.

"I understand now that Sabrina does what she does to instil discipline. You're not weak, or worthless. She said that you're not ready. I wasn't ready for anything that happened yesterday, but I didn't wait for my superiors, I let my fear control me and made stupid mistakes that..." You sniff and blink as you feel tears at the corners of your eyes, "that almost killed a friend!" The damn breaks and you sob, tears flowing as you embrace Alexis, "I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!"

>>28386919
Oh he's definitely got some, but as is the norm for those who lean more on the tsun side, the moments where he's "kinder" are more subtle and sparse.

Like when he stopped us from falling. He could have done it out of courtesy, but the mentioning of how he laid us down gently made me more confident that he was really just being kind at that point.

>>28386974
I'll admit this is an optimistic take on Alexis' current state.

>>28386974
Need some dirty handholding in here

>>28386974
I can only hope she'd be so open about it.
Much more likely we'd say all that, and her response would be.
"..."

>>28387051
Mm. We may need to be more indirect in our approach with her.

Maybe ask her if she'd rather just train with us from time to time. Instead of, y'know. Just sparring. Since she's really focused on training right now, I feel like that's the only time we can interact with her. Make some small talk here and there. If she's quiet at first, we could gradually try to get her to open up.

so... whose voice do you read Ceru's lines in?

for me? Hilary Haag

>>28387115
Maybe we can ask Sabrina to let us spar with her. If she wants Alexis to know how to handle monsters, what better training partner than a monster that doesn't want to kill her?

Well....on purpose anyway...

After a sea of darkness later, you awaken in the institute again, strapped in this time, Bruise and Goldenrod sitting at your either side, both awake, and neither one saying a word to the other.

"She's awake." You hear Goldenrod say, breaking the silent.
"So she is." Bruises' voice.

"Hey Cerulean, you really up?"
You nod, feeling terribly cold and sore,"Yeah, yeah I am."
Bruise rises from his chair and looks down at you from the bedside," You shouldn't have walked off like that, could've gotten hurt real bad Cerulean."

"It's not her fault that she's an idiot. I'd blame her upbringing."

Bruise sneers at Goldenrod,"Hey, that's not cool man, she's right here and she's hurt."

Goldenrod shrugs at that," Whatever, just stating a fact. You don't just walk out of the hospital after that kind of operation."

"Please stop fighting.." You shuffle to sitting up halfway, or at least try to, Bruise intervenes.
"No, you stay down, you're not done healing, and honestly I don't understand how you're even still okay."

"I just wanted to go for a walk, staying in bed suuuucks." You moan, feeling the plushy hospital pillows wrap around your head. "It's not faiirrrr." You struggle weakly against his hand and likewise the binds.
"Tough luck Ceru, you stay right where you are, and rest. I'm here to keep you from going anywhere."

Goldenrod gets up, turning to leave the room, you notice the lack of fur on his face," I'll be going. Seems like you've got this taken care of..."

"Where you goin' man?" Bruise barks at the fleeing Esper, whom turns aroiund to meet him with a venomous glare.
"I'm going to train. I'll see you in a few days when training starts." He dismisses Bruise with a wave of his hand," Later." and with that, he vanishes with a teleport.

"Uppity son of a..."

Your head kind of hurts, you shouldn't have gone for that walk.

Dang, and here I thought it was gonna get weird.

>>28387224
Tell Bruise not to mind Goldie so much. He's just naturally caustic.

>>28387291
Depends on whether or not Alexis was traumatized by the experience, I'd say. Is she scared of us, or was she scared of the "us" in that one moment? There's a difference in these sorts of situations.

And I'm not saying we'd spar with her immediately, anon, jeez. Just that, when we're able to, that's the likeliest way we'll be able to have any kind of interaction with her. Social visits don't seem like the kind of think Sabrina would tolerate. Or at least, not for all that long.

>>28387195
We'd get flattened instantly.

>>28387224
It might be a good idea to work on getting Bruise to not hate Goldenrod. Having interpersonal conflict there would be annoying.

"Bruise, be nice to Grumpy. He's a real sweetheart deep down inside. I'm injured so you have to listen to me.

Use sad kitty eyes if needed. Resting in a full bathtub actually ought to be better for us because of Hydration. Also ask Bruise if we missed anything while we were out before we fall asleep again. We have gills so we can just submerge ourself.

I could see it.

>>28387335
Didn't say mustache, said fur. Maybe he shaved.

As his abra implant evolved, it can't be removed anymore.

He could have gotten some new kind of implant that removed his fur.

>>28387224
No matter what we do thank Bruise for taking care of us, and if we get the restraints removed try to give him a hug.

>>28387347
I meant Alexis, not Sabrina.

Though now that I think about it, now that we're Rockets, does that mean we could have sparring matches with the Gym Leaders?

>>28387389
Why couldn't it be removed? We could totally shave the fur off of our bodies (or, at least, our Seel fur, before it got covered up by the crytten hide; not sure how hard it'll be to cut that out). They'll just grow back over time.

>>28387386
That one sounds kind of fake somehow.

>>28387420
>Why couldn't it be removed?
It evolved. When implants evolve, they kinda set in and cannot be removed anymore. They can only be removed at the first stage.

The spoons and the mustache indicate his abra implant became a kadabra implant.

>>28387224
>>28387375
>>28387410
Oh yes, definitely show Bruise some gratitude. He's been a good friend to us.

There's a difference between shaving and actually removing the implant.

Probably, but they likely wouldn't have the time of day.

We're a hell of a long way off being leader level

>>28387466
Speaking of evo.
I wonder how far off our evolution is. I think Seel evolves in the late 30s, but Crytten...I dunno.

>>28387466
Implants can be damaged. They can be sliced and chipped at. And they're regenerate over time.

That is to say, his facial hair can be cut. But it'll grow back. It's just hair/fur, anon.

>>28387386
Can you clarify on this? Can Goldie shave? Or is he forever burdened with the majesty of such a stylish 'stache?

>>28387415
If Giovanni wanted us to, probably. If it was just us asking for a spar, then probably not.

They're all busy and we're nowhere near close enough to their level for it to be worth their time.

Oh, Prof, one thing that has been a concern for me is that I don't think we have ever taken damage. I have no idea how the system is supposed to work and what kind of durability Ceru (or anyone really besides the fact that a super effective feint into a sniper frostbreath is muder) has.

I think we got hit once by Oliver in a sparring match and 2 direct hits from Alexia in our first duel.

>>28387575
Do you mean Goldie? I don't really think we can ask him to watch over her. It'd be inappropriate, given what Ceru knows of his character and relationship with everyone else in the gym. We could definitely ask him to tell us about Alexis from time to time.

"Thanks Bruise... For looking after me." You give him a gentle smile, feeling fresh air grace your feline teeth.

He sits back down next to you," Yeah Ceru, it's no problem. You surprised me though wanting to walk around like that. You sure you're okay?"

You nod, feeling the tingle of surgical wounds run through your body," It's nothing, I'll be fine. I could use a soak in some water, take me to the pool?"

He extends a hand to pat your head, yet stops, thinking better of it,"Yeah, sure." His hands rests on his lap,"As soon as the docs tell you its alright, I'll take you."

"Good," You release a frozen sigh, and relax back down again, fluttering your eyes heavily as sleep begin to take you once more," I feel like I'm forgetting something... Oh well."

"It's alright, go to bed Ceru."

"Okay." You resign yourself and sleep takes you once again.

Well, we can ask Bruise to tell Kitty about his whereabouts when he sees her.

We need to stay in touch with our home gym, and that is going to happen no matter what because we are going to crosstrain there anyways. Alexis should be in our thoughts considering what happened. I really like Lilac, but I don't think she would be one of Ceru's priorities, just if we have time.
We are constantly with Bruise and I want to train with Janine in ninja melee anyways, so I don't want to spend our off day on those.

Why would you go talk to Alexis? She's fine.

You went for a walk and popped your stitches, Silly Cerulean, you should've stayed in bed.

You don't remember anything that happened, neither does Bruise.

>>28387811
>>28387880
Yeah, changing my vote here. We'll be seeing Janine again, so let's focus on meeting up with Alexia and Lilac. Alexia because we gotta deal with that as soon as we can, and Lilac because we'd have to go out of our way to see her, so we might as well do it on our free day.

Although if we had any free time after that, we could definitely pay Janine a visit and set up some sort of agreement to learn Thrown Weapons training under her tutelage.

>>28388069
So in other words it's OOC.

>>28388069

Maybe if we met Lilac....something could happen to jog our memories. Ghost types do have mysterious powers....

We might find out eventually, a lot of people saw us walking around town like that, if we find the gate guards who we chatted with we should be able to work out the memory alteration.

Except in this case it all really happened and had consequences. We just aren't aware of any of it IC. I think it's pretty cool.

>>28388206
Nothing was pointless.

We still "instinctively" unlocked the capabilities of our Crytten implants. We met Goldie. And, depending on how much Sabrina wiped from our memory, we got to know Goldie's mom a little bit better.

A waste of time would be undoing our efforts. Prof didn't do that; rather, he closed off the option before we got a chance to pursue it. Probably for some later plot point.

>>28388250
Is there really a reason to remove the memory?
Unless you're planning to use us remembering/being told about it by Goldie as a plot device down the line, I don't really understandd why you would bother.

we forgot just how strong we are/ the importance of restraint

next spar will be interesting barring subconscious fears

>>28388301
Her wiping us would be counter productive to showing us how dangerous our monster implants are

>>28388206
What? How?
It still happened, we just don't remember it. It's still a part of our backstory and all that. Plus friendship points. With Goldie, and, sorta Sabrina. Weird as it is I think she respects us a little more. Or at least, we register as someone for her to remember.

>>28388315
Goldenrod will be there to remind you.

>>28388356
Sabrina is Sabrina.
She operates on another level. I think of her like Eldrad.

>>28388325
Or she's taking away that fear so that we don't unconsciously hold ourselves back.

Alternatively, you need to read up on your tropes. Even if the memory is lost, usually, some sort of subconscious effect remains. This isn't even a trope exclusive to anime/manga. Gotta read up, anon!

Free day at Cerulean Gym!

You float in the Cerulean Gym's lake, off to the side by the pier. Bruise is beside you, lounging about with his feet hanging in the water, looking upon the Aquatic rangers at play.

"So this is what your quarter's like. Looks like they're having fun."
The water feels good in your wounds, refreshing your body," Yeah, Leader Misty is awesome. I'm going to miss training with her all the time, she's a bit weird, but she tries her best."

Bruise nods,"I can tell. Probably still trying to take... well.. Oliver off their minds."
You slip into the water, taking a breath with your gills and blowing the air out of your mouth, clear icy little bubbles float to the surface. They're pretty, but you're mind is elswhere,"Yeah.."

The sky beyond the dome is actually a rather bright, cheerful too. The glare kind of hurts your eyes a bit, a harsh sun.

Leader Misty had been surprised to see you, she complimented you on your pretty fur and even your golden claws. It made you feel cold inside. Err, warm. No, that doesn't feel too good anymore.
Cold is right.

No sparring here, none for you. You don't think you'd want to, even if they asked. It's not good to fight friends after all. Leader Misty also said that you're still recovering, no practice for you.

Wonder if she's a mom? She kind of sounds like one.

>>28388515
>No sparring here, none for you. You don't think you'd want to, even if they asked. It's not good to fight friends after all. Leader Misty also said that you're still recovering, no practice for you.

hmmm........

How old was Oliver again?

>>28388553
Well we seriously learned a lesson about that, even if our memory is wiped I don't think we're going to forget that entirely.

>>28388515
We really need to meet someone else with Ice implants. We need someone who can appreciate cold hugs, and if they're more advanced than us we can learn from them. Sadly our Mother isn't around.

Also, we need to get better at controlling the cold, make our insides nice and cold but keeping it all insulated underneath layers of fur and fat. We're not good at hugging currently. Bruise wouldn't even pat our head. We're fluffy, but what's the point of fluffy without hugs.

On an unrelated note we could use some anti-freezing proteins in our bloodstream. Let us bring our core temperature even colder if we needed to, though that would mess with freezing our wounds shut.

>>28388656
Well we've been thinking about mothers lately, what with Sabrina, even if we don't remember it.

>>28388656
I almost thought she was Marine's mom, since they both have red hair, but then I remembered that would mean Misty was preggers at 13

>>28388675
11

>>28388683
Glaceon can explicitly control its body temperature. Don't know what else we would want it for, maybe if we could split an array of eevee implants into glaceon and vaporeon at the same time. (damn do I want liquefy and water absorb)

>>28388719
Hey, it could happen. 14 year olds /can/ give birth

>>28388593
I don't see why not. Upgrading would only increase our precision of movements and give us the ability to chain attacks to it (rather than relying purely on our claws).

>>28388784
World record is 7 year old, somewhere in Africa.

>>28388683
I'd like to think our fluffy fur, blubber, and hide would be enough to dish out satisfactory hugs.

Bryan sits at the opposite shore, moving water around through his esper powers, creating slow waves, water spouts, and even circles of water in the air, cascading with rainbows as the light hits it.

Misa's tearing it up in the water, a bit too aggressive at Bruise's comment, you see that she's sparring with your old friend, Marine, who's since sprouted a fluffy red tail. and a harder shell.

While you'd root for your friend, it seems that Misa's the one at a disadvantage and getting antsy for it.

An intercepted water tackle and Marine flips Misa over her shoulder sending the goldeen child crashing into the waves.

"Good job Marine! Keep it up! Misa, cool your head, and think about this! Marine, be ready to intercept Misa, she's not done yet!" The Leader calls, out with the blow of a whistle," Go, go!"

In the next clash, Misa sends Marine sprawling with an uppercut from the water, diving down to continue the assault as Leader follows them beneath the waves.

Aqua walks up beside the dock, a bit downcast himself, he slips into the water not too far from you.
"Hey Ceru. You enjoying the spar?" his voice is quiet, making it more for small talk, his eyes glance over to Bruise, whom raises an eyebrow at the kid.

With eyes flicking from your friend to another assortment of combative splashes, you smile a little," Yeah, I guess. Misa's really going at it, huh?"

Aqua frowns," Since Risa. Yeah. Hey, I wanted to umm.." He looks at Bruise again...

>Awaiting your next command.

"What's up Aqua?" Look at Bruise "He doesn't bite you know. He's a real softie inside."

A crush?

>>28388866
seconding this.

a little alone time to hear him out. a nice leisurely swim for personal buisness

>>28388927
>>28388866
>a swim
Well, he'll go for a swim, we'll go for a drift-gently-along

>>28388865
I think Aqua wants a bit of privacy, just us and him.

Start by introducing Aqua and Bruise to each other, tell Bruise that Aqua is one of our best friends and tell Aqua that Bruise is really nice, then invite Aqua for a little swim, and once we've gotten a bit of swimming in ask what he wanted to say to us.

>She might have some ice in her.
She doesn't. I find it funny that you say you wish people would read, because this is at the top of the Known Characters pastebin.

Oh yes, I forgot we upgraded it one more time right before we used Frost Breath.

>>28388812
Hey Bruce, would it be okay if me and Aqua talk in private for a minute? You could talk to Bryan, he's always fun to hang with.

Don't nip at each other, anons.

This thread is for awkward budding romances.

>>28388866
>>28388866
Sounds good to me.

>>28388973
Not the ice typing, but I'm sure she has an ice move or two. Pretty much all of those types can learn some manner of ice move. I think some are natural learning progression to.

>>28389037
Just checked Bulbapedia. None of those pokemon learn Ice moves naturally.

>>28389037
Seel is way more icy than anything Misty has, and it pales in comparison to how frosty Crytten is.

Even if she knows a couple ice moves, I don't think she's what we're looking for when people talk about wanting advice from Ice rangers.

>>28389088
Dang, none?
That makes me sad. Wait, does that mean we're the first ice type in the gym?
Neat.

>>28389142
I would doubt that.

We're the only Ice type in this batch of students as far as I can tell, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were other Ice Rangers who came out of Cerulean gym, like our Mother perhaps.
