Rules

I’ll rp with anyone! Feel free if you want to dm me and plot things together. I also accept dm rps and anon rps! This is my first time trying out both, so I apologize if I come off a bit shy at first.

No smut, I'm okay with a fade to black for those scenes if we want to imply our muses did something. Some darker themes are allowed but ask before we plot something.

Please do not reblog threads that you aren't apart of. It makes things hard to keep track of. 😅

Please be patient with me ;.;. I either respond lighting fast or months slow. If I feel pressured to respond from you, I probably will never respond.

WOAH SINCE WHEN DID THIS BLOG EXIST

((Lol! For a while actually! I absolutely love rp. I haven’t done much rps with this blog lately though 😔))

[bugsandberries]

There's no winning. Emmet is going to shave Ingo's back one way or another 😓

😭 I suppose not…

Maybe I can bribe him somehow…tell him I won’t kiss him for a month…

[alllll-aboard]

Ingo! Your finger is facing the wrong way!

@gearstationsubwaybossingo

[gearstationsubwaybossingo]

I hate you so much, Emmet...

[bugsandberries]

Oh no???? I shouldn’t have sent that video, probably…

Wait, why is Ingo the one hurt??

[alllll-aboard]

He made the mistake of trying to stop me! Comeuppance for not allowing me my cool stunt!

[bugsandberries]

😱😱😱

That’s awful!! Does Ingo need me to bring him some soup or something??

[alllll-aboard]

Nope!

But I will accept soup and company from you! My stunt got interrupted! I banged on my knee on the escalator! :(

[bugsandberries]

Emmet 😒

I’m bringing soup for Ingo and Ingo only. @gearstationsubwaybossingo What’s your favorite soup? :)))

[gearstationsubwaybossingo]

Oh anything from you would be divine, Ms. Pecha!

But you really do not need to trouble yourself. Emmet should be the one slaving over a stove.

[bugsandberries]

Awww but I have to do something :((( I’m the one who gave Emmet the idea…

It wouldn’t be slaving if it was for you! ❤️

[gearstationsubwaybossingo]

Emmet was the one who acted on the idea. He really needs to work on his impulse control. Perhaps taking over all the paperwork duties would help with that.

You are very sweet, Ms. Pecha. I will accept if you at least bring something for you to enjoy as well and we can socialize a bit.

Without Emmet.

[bugsandberries]

I’ll bring some food over and we can kick Emmet out of the house, then! 😊

Ooh! I should bring some paint markers too! I can draw your pokemon team on your cast!

[alllll-aboard]

Send 🍂 for our muses to jump into a leaf pile together

Fall in Nimbasa was beautiful.

The trees that stood tall in the park had turned gorgeous hues of reds and yellows, the leaves swirling in the air before landing on the ground. They dotted against the black asphalt of the roads just beyond the fence.

Hot-Sauce was enjoying himself on the little walk Pecha decided to take him on. He scuttled along the ground, sometimes in circles, as he chased leaves in the air. He’d then raise his head and puff out a tiny bit of fire and the leaf would disappear in a small cloud of smoke. Then his front legs would wiggle as if proud of himself and Pecha would laugh.

That’s when the two came across a giant raked pile of leaves and Hot-Sauce looked at Pecha with a pleading look.

“Aaaagh…It’s kinda weird for me to be jumping into leaf piles as an adult…by myself…” Pecha tries to move along but the centiskorch moves in front of her, sniffing smoke in disagreement. “Mmmmkay. But only for you, alright?”

In effort to get it over with and not make a fool of herself, Pecha turns and jumps in immediately-

Only to smack into someone else who apparently had the same idea.

“OHHHmygosh, I’m so sorry!!” Pecha reaches out to steady the stranger so they don’t fall over. Red blooms over her cheeks from embarrassment. Of course this would happen. Why hadn’t she checked before jumping? “Are you okay? I-I got bandaids in my bag if you’re hurt- oh my dragons, I’m so sorry…”

[katebluebird]

Fall isn't that bad of a season, Kate always thought. Sure, cold weather means she can no longer wear her favorite dresses and open clothes. It's also the season everyone, including herself, is prone to getting sick. It gets rainy often, and the cold air feels like it assults you more fiercely than it should because of the dampness.

But to Kate, all these downsides were easily covered hy one simple thing - aesthetics. Autumn is pretty, gloomy weather sets a certain mood. And the cold weather is something she's much more used to handling than the heat of the summer. She also gets to wear cozy clothes, like sweaters with awesome prints, and not worry about having to adjust her outfits on the days she doesn't feel like showing skin.

Oh, and the leaf piles. Lots and lots of leaf piles.

Comet shared her love for diving into leaf piles, so on a day when the soil was dry, Kate took him with her to a park. While the big Luxray was diving into the colorful leaves and scattering them around, Kate decided to find a nice pile herself and have some fun too. Though, with all the excitement, she failed to look around, and ended up bumping into someone who seemed to have the same idea.

"It's- it's okay, I'm not hurt", Kate stammered, still disoriented and not even seeing the person who's holding onto her yet. "I'm sorry, I didn't look around…"

Before Kate starts to apologize and thinking of how to minimize the awkwardness and find a way to retreat to a different part of the park, away from the stranger's judging eyes, her eyes finally focus on the person in front of her. She stands steady on her legs.

A girl. A very cute girl. Kate's attention is immediatelly caught by the stranger's earrings, then her hair.

"I like your hair a lot", Kate says withgout even thinking.

[bugsandberries]

“Ah-? Oh, um…” Pecha reaches up and touches one of her pecha berry shaped buns lightly. Her embarrassment slowly dissolves into a bit of giddiness at the compliment. “Th-thank you! It’s a family hairstyle. I think your hair is really cute, too!”

She lets go of the other girl’s arm, putting her hand on her own arm instead in a self-soothing gesture.

“I’m sorry again…my Centiskorch, he really likes the leaves and wanted me to jump so they’d um…” Pecha’s eyes trail off to see that Hot-Sauce has been completely distracted by the falling leaves, completely oblivious to his trainer’s awkward situation. Numerous leaves were puffing up on smoke at his mere touch. “…He likes to do that with them when they’re in the air…”

[katebluebird]

"Thank you!" Kate smiles and twirls one of her curls on her finger. The anxiety from the situation that happened began to somewhat dissolve, and Kate began to feel somewhat calmer. Calm enough to not start apologizing all over again while retreating as far away as possible. The girl seems nice, that's a good sign.

Kate follows her eyes and looks at the bug Pokemon as well. Her eyes light up and the smile widens, and she already wants to ask a ton of questions about the Pokemon, but holds off for now, as to not scare the potential friend away. Kate looks up at the girl again.

"And I'm here with my Comet! He's…" She looks around to find her Luxray. When she finds him off in the distance, rolling around in a bunch of leaves, she points at him. "There he is! He likes to do this with leaves and grass, so I'd thought we'd go out for a walk, before rains hit again." He will have to get a bath and lots of brushing later.

She looks at the girl again. "And I wanted to jump into some leaves too, before they get soggy and gross! I didn't look around though and didn't notice you, sorry. My name is Kate, by the way."

[bugsandberries]

Pecha looks off in the distance at the Pokémon Kate had pointed to. She can’t quite place a name for it, but she knows it’s not a native Unovan Pokémon. Was Kate from somewhere else then?

Despite how strong it looks, the cat-like Pokémon is adorable with how it’s playing with the leaves. Pecha can’t help but giggle.

“Oh, that’s okay! I-I wasn’t really looking where I was jumping, either, sorry.” But maybe, Pecha thinks, it’s fate, and this a new friend to be made.

“Oh! And I forgot to introduce us, too! I’m Pecha, and-“ Hot-Sauce scuttles back towards the two, finally noticing that his trainer is talking to someone he’s never seen. He stops by Pecha’s side and stares at Kate curiously. “-this guy is Hot-Sauce!”

[katebluebird]

"Hello, there! It's nice to meet both of you!"

Kate shakes her hand hi at the bug Pokemon. she fights the urge to reach out and pet him. As much as she wants to, she knows she has to be respectful to Pokemon that aren't hers, even if they aren't wild. But she feels the need to mess with something in her hands, and puts fingers to her mouth to whistle in Comet's direction. The Luxray hears his trainer's signal and stops what he's doing, then rushes to Kate. She puts a hand around his back and scratches his fur idly.

"And here's Comet. Say hi to Pecha and Hot-Sauce, Comet". The big Pokemon sniffles at the strangers, while Kate looks up at Pecha.

"Hot-Sauce isn't a Unovan Pokemon, right? I think it's from… Galar, right? Are you from Galar? I haven't been there before".

[bugsandberries]

Hot-Sauce perks up at the wave, stepping forward carefully in curiosity. New friends? Head pats? He reaches his small limbs in a yearning motion.

“Hi, Comet.” Pecha smiles at the big cat-like Pokémon, crouching and placing her hands on her knees to study him for just a moment. “You’re very handsome.”

She stands straight.

“Yep, Hot-Sauce is from Galar!” Pecha’s eyes beam with excitement at the topic and pride as she pets the top of her bug’s head. Hot-Sauce glows with happiness at the affection. “I’m not from Galar, but my father is! That’s, um, where I caught him. When he was a little cute sizzlipede.”

[katebluebird]

Comet watches the new person closely. As Pecha crowches and calls him handsome, he puffs his chest up proudly and growl-yelps, as if agreeing with the compliment. When Pecha stands up again, Comet begins to sniffle Hot-Sauce instead now.

Kate notices the way the bug Pokemon moves, and recognizes it as a green light for some pats. She stands taller and reaches for Hot-Sauce's head as well and gives him some pats, also having a feel for the new unfamiliar texture.

"Heeey, there. You're a good boy, aren't you?" Her voice sounds softer and quieter when she talks to the Pokemon. She's studying the way the unfamiliar Pokemon looks like, before looking at Pecha again.

"That's really cool! Have you had him for long? Do you have other Pokemon? Are they all from Galar? All of my team is from Sinnoh!"

[bugsandberries]

Hot-Sauce closes his eyes and grows a bit warmer at the head pats. He stands taller in effort to get even more. He’s a good boy! Yep!

Noticing Comet’s sniffing, however, the Centiskorch drops back to a reasonable height and studies the electric-type curiously with little feet wiggling at Comet.

“Oh! Uh…” The sudden questions startle Pecha, not used to someone so curious about her, but she recovers relatively quickly. “Y-yeah! Hot-Sauce has been with me since I’ve been a teen. He’s a part of my battle team.”

Pecha smiles at the words “battle team” as if it’s very dear to her.

“They’re not all from Galar, um, my dad is a bug-type professor! So we used to travel almost everywhere. It kinda gave me an advantage to make a good bug-type team.”

“Your team is all from Sinnoh?? Are you from there, then?”

[katebluebird]

After the inspection was over, and both the new trainer and Pokemon were deemed fine to be nearby, Comet meowed at the Centiskorch and turned towards the leaf piles nearby, inviting Hot-Sauce to come with and play in the while their trainers talk.

Kate smiled and nodded, "Yeah! I'm from Sinnoh! I've been travelling a lot too lately, but never really felt the need to add anyone else to the team. I ended up very attached to everyone too much to switch".

She laughed a bit, before asking another question. "Are you from Unova then?"

[bugsandberries]

The Centiskorch gives a happy sounding hiss at the invitation, before dropping down and scuttling after his new friend.

“Ah…I understand that…” Pecha’s eyes grow a bit distant as she watches Hot-Sauce go off to play. “I made my bug team back when I was starting as a trainer and I could never replace any of them either…even if they’re a competitive built team, I just couldn’t do the switching that other trainers do.”

Pecha’s face blushes and she looks embarrassed at Kate’s question.

“Ah, s-sorry! I should have just gotten to the point…yes, I was born and raised in Nimbasa…? Sorry, I guess it feels like I was raised everywhere because of how much my father traveled with us…”

[katebluebird]

"Yeah. I think the last time I accepted a new team member was when I was… fifteen, I think? Switching just doesn't feel right".

Kate smiles as her eyes followed the two Pokemon go play. She picks up on Pecha's embarssment in her voice and turns to her again, tilting her head a bit. She isn't sure what Pecha was apologizing for, so she brushes it off. She looks at the two Pokemon again and how they're playing in the leaf pile. She looks back at Pecha and smiled.

"I think we could follow their example. Were you jumping into the leaves just for Hot-Sauce, or do you wanna do it for the fun of it too?"

[bugsandberries]

“Oh, um, mostly for Hot-Sauce but…I don’t mind having some fun myself as well…”

Being with someone while jumping into leaves would probably help her be less self conscious about this, plus what a fun away to make a new friend! Pecha wishes she brought some of her other Pokémon while on this walk. Then they could have almost a party of leaf pile jumpers.

She bends down and picks up a leaf, a red almost perfectly shaped specimen.

“I mostly like collecting decorate the apartment a bit.”

28. A kiss in parting

It’s rare for her to wake up before him and even rarer for Emmet to have a day off, but here Pecha is almost ready to go the bug sanctuary while he was still in bed.

He’s so cute when he’s sleeping. His smiling mouth is wide open and drooling. If only she could stay home and in the warm bed, snuggled up to him…

But there’s bugs to release and adopt out (and a half an hour train ride to catch before all that) so Pecha brushes her lips softly against the corner of Emmet’s mouth, avoiding the drool, and whispers a soft “I love you” before turning to finally leave.

She’ll miss seeing him at the station on the way to work.

[alllll-aboard]

((I want the k??))

- @bugsandberries

11.

Emmet hums, nuzzling his nose into Pecha’s neck as she cooks something on the stove. He’s not really paying attention, still sleepy from his nap.

He presses a quick kiss to the back of her neck, then nuzzles closer, sinking his weight down onto her.

He is verrrrrry happy indeed.

[bugsandberries]

A full body shiver runs down Pecha’s spine at the kiss on her neck and she flinches a bit with a small giggle. A soft, blushy smile replaces the furrowed look she had before while cooking.

Her hand comes up to play with Emmet’s silver hair absentmindedly as she begins to hum a song.

She has such a cute boyfriend. ❤️

62. one muse calms the other from an intense rage

@alllll-aboard

(I can see Emmet being on a rampage and pecha hugging him go help calm him down)

She hadn’t seen the whole argument between Emmet and the unruly passenger. Only the end of it where Emmet almost snapped and lunged at the person. Luckily, Pecha had jumped in front of him in time while a nearby Depot Agent dragged away the other.

With the passenger gone, Pecha’s arms loosen around Emmet’s waist but still hug around him. Her eyes trail upwards, studying his face. She’s never seen him so heated and he still looked like he was steaming…

“Are you okay?” Her voice comes out even softer than she means to. Not afraid, but concerned.

[alllll-aboard]

The rage in his mind nearly renders Emmet deaf to the soft question. He huffs and resists the urge to pace or stomp his feet. It was already not a good day, then that passenger. . .

Emmet grumbles some, refusing to linger on it with Pecha clinging to him.

“I am Emmet.” He says sullenly. His smile sits tight on his warm face, body shaking with restrained, furious energy. “I am. . . sorry. My engine got too heated.”

[bugsandberries]

Her arms slowly unwrap around him but instead takes one of his hands.

“You should take a break. Maybe we can walk a bit?” She gently pulls him along. In honesty, she’s pushing back her own annoyance at the rude person. “You don’t have to apologize. They were an asshole.”

Pecha’s eyebrows scrunch in anger for a moment before her expression softens looking at Emmet again.

“You don’t deserve to deal with that.”

[alllll-aboard]

Emmet takes heavy, stiff steps forward, like his joints are made of metal. With each step, his shoulders start to slouch, and his grip fluxes between tightening and relaxing as he tries not to hurt Pecha. Not that his grip ever gets that strong, but he’s too distracted to notice.

“They were an asshole.” Emmet grumbles. He shakes his head. No more thoughts. “It comes with the job. I am a conductor of passengers. And sometimes passengers are not kind.”

He falls quiet. Despite his attempts, his brain replays the incident over and over. He lost his cool. Luckily Pecha intervened before anything physical happened. But before that? Emmet doesn’t doubt he’ll be seeing himself on social media soon.

[bugsandberries]

Pecha goes quiet with Emmet, her thumb gently caressing the top of his hand before she decides to just hug his whole arm. So what if they were in public? She’s too angry to be embarrassed right now. Her brow furrows, angry thoughts dancing and imagining revenge. A part of her wishes the guy had gotten his comeuppance with Emmet’s fist to his face but…no that wouldn’t be good for Emmet’s job.

“You need a system. Like a silent whistle of some sort…” She mutters. Her eyes glance towards the walls of the subway, little joltiks scurrying about. “Then when certain little spiders hear the whistle, they’ll zap the person who need correcting. But since the whistle or whatever is silent, they can’t blame you for hurting them because there’s no proof. You can just go: oh, those are wild joltiks for you! Free electroshock therapy.”

Kate notices the way the bug Pokemon moves, and recognizes it as a green light for some pats. She stands taller and reaches for Hot-Sauce's head as well and gives him some pats, also having a feel for the new unfamiliar texture.

"Heeey, there. You're a good boy, aren't you?" Her voice sounds softer and quieter when she talks to the Pokemon. She's studying the way the unfamiliar Pokemon looks like, before looking at Pecha again.

"That's really cool! Have you had him for long? Do you have other Pokemon? Are they all from Galar? All of my team is from Sinnoh!"

Hot-Sauce closes his eyes and grows a bit warmer at the head pats. He stands taller in effort to get even more. He’s a good boy! Yep!

Noticing Comet’s sniffing, however, the Centiskorch drops back to a reasonable height and studies the electric-type curiously with little feet wiggling at Comet.

“Oh! Uh…” The sudden questions startle Pecha, not used to someone so curious about her, but she recovers relatively quickly. “Y-yeah! Hot-Sauce has been with me since I’ve been a teen. He’s a part of my battle team.”

Pecha smiles at the words “battle team” as if it’s very dear to her.

“They’re not all from Galar, um, my dad is a bug-type professor! So we used to travel almost everywhere. It kinda gave me an advantage to make a good bug-type team.”

“Your team is all from Sinnoh?? Are you from there, then?”

After the inspection was over, and both the new trainer and Pokemon were deemed fine to be nearby, Comet meowed at the Centiskorch and turned towards the leaf piles nearby, inviting Hot-Sauce to come with and play in the while their trainers talk.

Kate smiled and nodded, "Yeah! I'm from Sinnoh! I've been travelling a lot too lately, but never really felt the need to add anyone else to the team. I ended up very attached to everyone too much to switch".

She laughed a bit, before asking another question. "Are you from Unova then?"

[bugsandberries]

The Centiskorch gives a happy sounding hiss at the invitation, before dropping down and scuttling after his new friend.

“Ah…I understand that…” Pecha’s eyes grow a bit distant as she watches Hot-Sauce go off to play. “I made my bug team back when I was starting as a trainer and I could never replace any of them either…even if they’re a competitive built team, I just couldn’t do the switching that other trainers do.”

Pecha’s face blushes and she looks embarrassed at Kate’s question.

“Ah, s-sorry! I should have just gotten to the point…yes, I was born and raised in Nimbasa…? Sorry, I guess it feels like I was raised everywhere because of how much my father traveled with us…”

send “🌿🍒” (or "mistletoe") for my muse's reaction to standing under a mistletoe with your muse  ♡

Emmet grins, practically shoving the bouquet of viscaria and red roses into Pecha's chest.

"Ta-da!"

@alllll-aboard

“O-oh!” Pecha’s face is almost as red as the red roses in the bouquet that are now in her arms. Her eyes widen, before softening as she touches the petals gently and smells them.

“…Roses a-are my favorite…”

She nervously hides her face behind them.

“…a-and yes. I’d like to dance with you…”

Even softer she whispers:

“…I love you too.”
