tuesday feeling

｡⋆𓂃 simone ashley, twenty-seven, she/her 𓂃⋆｡ NALINI JAYANTHI is a stygian executive (sailor) from the HOENN REGION. they’ve been an stygian member for FIVE YEARS, sometimes you can find them building her boat by the docks. their partner pokemon is KINGDRA. 𓂃⋆｡

hellooooooo i’m anne and this is a quick lil intro for nalini. you can find a summary of her life story here, so this will just be a little fun fact sheet for her so you can figure out her vibes <3 some pre-thought out wanted connections are on that link as well, but i am always up for brainstorming or feeling some chem.

[pub crowd from beauty and the beast vc] nooooo one's slick like nalini, no one's quick as nalini, no one's pokemon team's quite as strong as nalini!!

she takes pride in bonding with her pokemon, and she believes that's the core of their strength in battle.

that being said, she's one to believe that a few sacrifices are necessary for the common good hence the stygian association.

she's rough and tough like any sailor -- you gotta be to make it out at sea -- so forgive her for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

she's not one to be super sensitive to other's emotions, she's that asshole who would typically say 'i'm not being mean, i'm just being honest' (she's usually being mean).

she's passionate and strong-headed about what's right to her. if you've got a friend in her, you've got a friend for life. it's just a little hard to get there in the first place.

quick to set off, quick to cool down, it's like a little waxing session when you're arguing with her.

if you've got the time, she has plenty of stories to tell. she loves sharing her stories when the vibe's right.

i guess you could say when she's happy, she's a drunk little pirate just trying to enjoy some booze and tunes and when she's upset, she's an angry little pirate trying to k-word you for your belongings. similes <3

her pokemon team is water-based:

kingdra (her first her main her beloved)

lapras

tentacruel

gastrodon - east (sorry to the west one but there’s a blue streak going on)

azumarill (shadow)

sharpedo

“no way! you know i LOVE slowpoke tails!” well, she did… on some days… their tastes changed regularly, okay? it was normal. “you should’ve at least thought to offer,” she said, as though they weren’t literally talking to an executive. at the other’s invitation, she said, “alright. i was gonna try to find some jigglypuff and draw on their faces, ‘cause let’s see how they like that, but i can’t really find any here in unova. we can browse shops.”

“do i? do i really know that you love slowpoke tails? you overestimate my interest in your interests,” nalini asked with a little shoulder shrug. she let out an ugly laugh at the mention of bullying jigglypuffs, remembering her own harrowing encounter with those round little demons. “shopping? sure, why not? i could use like... a new thing or whatever,”

open to anyone. ( no need to match length! )

the crisp blue color of the sky makes his heart ache, reminding him of his gym. he worked hard to make his gym feel ethereal. he’s the son of an esteemed gym leader, plus his gym came 8th in a trainer’s journey; he felt the need to prove himself worthy of this position, especially at his age, and that he’d risen to the task. except his efforts now look rather useless, because the shadow pokémon emergency has ( rightly, he knows too ) become most people’s priority.

although he knows it’s important, he can’t help feeling a bit like he’s been deprived of his first year as opelucid’s new gym leader. “beautiful weather, isn’t it?” he asks, trying to sound casual as he casts a wistful gaze upon the sky. the young man sounds a little choked up.

it took nalini all of her self control not to scoff loudly at sunny’s comment. boy, did she hate small talk -- it was also strange for him to be so wistful while they were just lounging around on a bench in opelucid city. nalini hardly even noticed when he joined her on the bench. she only recognized the kid’s face because she’s had to make note of all the gym leaders in each region. for research purposes. “i think it’s ugly,” she mused, squinting up at the sky. “too clear, it feels like something bad’s coming.”

magsrm​:

mags could probably count on one hand how many times she’s been lucky this week; right now was not one of those times. instead, her luck had been snatched up some maker-forsaken pidgeys and she found herself chin down near the other after tripping seconds earlier. her poffin case stumbling and poffins flying all over the place. she readjusted her glasses before letting out a despaired groan. “not my poffins!” and they were her new sweet ones, too. “sorry, sorry! i’ll get ‘em!”

“um. ow?” nalini snipped, taking a handful of poffins to the face. she shot up immediately from her spot, the poffins falling down her chest pitifully. as she brushed the crumbs off her face, she whirled around to glare at the person who dropped them on her as they tried to pick them up. “way to ruin a good snooze, you bumbling spinda.” she grabbed the poffins in her lap and held it out for the other disdainfully. evil little things messed up her day.

LOCATION: Anywhere suitable in Unova (except Castelia City).

“You don’t suppose they sell Slowpoke Tails anywhere here, right?” She was already missing the delicious delicacy, which were abundant in Johto. (And even though they were a member of the nefarious Team Stygian, she made sure that the Slowpoke Tails she stole were always ethically sourced.) “I’ve already been to Castelia for the Casteliacones, but I’m still hungry,” they lamented.

“you should have said something sooner, i had some packed from when i last went to johto. sucks to suck, i guess,” nalini said, shrugging. she looked around, trying to think of a place in nacrene city that sold what rey was talking about. nothing came to mind, but she had some time to kill. “wanna browse the shops? i don’t have anything planned for the rest of the day.”

“Interesting, is this what you do during your free time?” Zuri had arrived in the city just minutes ago on their Salamence. “Sleeping before a meeting?” 

“yes, and i’m dreaming of you,” nalini responded dryly, not moving a single muscle to accommodate or fully acknowledge zuri’s presence. she was just way too comfortable. “should i be like meditating or something to prepare myself for this meeting? stretches? maybe last minute brain blast?”

nalini hated that stuffy stygian costume they were supposed to wear. ‘it’s for the cause!’ she would tell herself, but every time she saw herself or anyone else in it, she’d gag. she gave the bag holding the costume a good kick before sitting down on a makeshift picnic blanket across the giant ferris wheel. she had a few moments to spare before her silly little stygian meeting, so why not relax?

“I wasn’t sure about the existence of a higher power, but I believed in floating, in clear blue above me and clear blue beneath me. I believed in the silence I could find only when I was lying, weightless, in salt water. In salt water, there is nothing looming over me but sky, nothing that might collapse.”
