Hey, I'm Aura Gemini, yes that's my real name, I legally changed it, no I don't have a gender. Gender isn't a psychic type.

I'm a 21 year old art student from Kalos, I transferred to Castelia City to finish my degree. I'm an art student now, but I'm also a bit of a trainer. My sister's a pretty big trainer in Kalos and really wants me to follow in her footsteps lmao. I like training, so I might, idk. I work at the Castelia City Gym part time, love wiping the floor with kids.

Speaking of training, lemme tell you about my team ig. Espurr best pokemon, you literally cannot change my mind I will fight you. I've got two, one named Beethoven (Beans for short) and a shiny named Vivaldi. Beans is evil. I have a joltik named Theodore, he's a cute lil guy. Actually it would take too long to tell you about them all here so I'll do that later I think.

My roommates are @croagunkguy and @shaxinunova, they're pretty cool.

(OOC: feel free to send asks and dms n stuff! I will usually reply in character!)

Hello Aura! I've got some rather exciting news for you. :-)

Oh? What news?

[hoennsgeologyboy-deactivated202]

Hello Maxie! It's me, Aura, one of the people Owen's been talking to. It's nice to make your acquaintance, sir!

Ah, it is a pleasure making your acquaintance as well, Aura. Owen's mentioned you to me. I have a sneaking suspicion that his wanting to go to Unova has less to do with school that he'd like me to believe.

Either way, it is relieving to see someone speaking intelligently on this website, proving to me that having Owen stationed here is not a total wash.

I have got my eye on you, Aura. - Maxie

[espurr-supremacy]

heh, that's good to hear!

And hey, I heard you mention that Owen's pokemon are a bit unruly. I'm something of a semi-pro trainer, I could give him some tips.

[hoennsgeologyboy-deactivated202]

I welcome you to try. I've given him as much of my own guidance as I can, but perhaps what he needs is someone his own age. I'd appreciate you helping him, certainly. - Maxie

[espurr-supremacy]

Sure thing!

I'd love to :)

VAPOREON hold paws so they don’t float away from each other due to the ocean current. 🌊

Paldeans will be like "behold the cuisine passed down from my people for generations" and then make the worst fucking sandwich you've ever seen in your life

[espurr-supremacy]

So, how is Unova this time of year? Know of any public quarries or abandoned mines? :-)

So far it’s pretty nice! Fairly temperate but can get cold at night.

Not sure about quarries or mines… Allie would probably know more about that tbh. I do know about a few mineral galleries in the city that are pretty cool tho!

[hoennsgeologyboy-deactivated202]

Darn, you found me out. I was trying to be cheeky and leave a hint with the little smiley, but I suppose I over did it.

I’ll certainly forward the inquiry to Allie, then perhaps we could explore some such location together, perhaps?

[espurr-supremacy]

i would love that!!

Are we sure that Courtney isn't just neurodivergant and has some of the worst social cues?

If she is, she’s going to have her condition named after her. I’ve done some reading on neurodivergence, (suspecting I may have some form myself) and none of them really line up with what she’s been up to.

More proof to the robot theory, you remember that horror game that came out a while ago? With the animatronic ursaring and all? She moves like that. It’s very bizarre.

[espurr-supremacy]

i want to meet this woman just to see her in action tbh

Princess's Bath Time

Someone is rather cross with me for using the outdoor pokémon bath.

But young ladies who are shedding their winter coats don't get to use the people-shower. It clogs up the pipes.

Getting mad and boiling off the bathwater is only going to make the process last longer! Saucy little thing, isn't she?

[espurr-supremacy]

shes fabulous

[espurr-supremacy]

Hello there my dear my name is Natasha BSoD and might I say My My I love your hair where did you get it done?

I'm trying to be more out going and meeting new trainers so I thought I'd drop in and say hello

Hello Natasha! I'm Aura!

Frankly, I do my hair myself! The grey is natural, but I dye the sides purple to match my eyes.

[hoennsgeologyboy-deactivated202]

spill the courtney tea

Alright, since you asked!!

The running theory that a lot of us at Team Magma has is that she's actually a robot. She always has this dead-eye'd stare about her, not to mention she speaks like a computer terminal.

That is really not even the half of it. By far the worst thing is her bizarre obsession with my father. The only time she isn't acting like a robot is when she is acting like a dewey eyed school girl. I have read that this sort of behavior has it's own internet terminology by the name of "Simping". It has caused a notable rift between me and Courtney from infancy! Imagine! Having "beef" as they call it, with a one year old, because I take up the attention of my father, thereby causing her to receive less.

The. Tomfoolery. Is. Exceptional.

My father has none of that sort interest in Courtney, so to speak, so it all ends up being quite tiresome.

[professor-brain-juniper]

all other discussions about team magma cancelled we NEED to know more about courtney this woman sounds INSANE i'm in tears

[hoennsgeologyboy-deactivated202]

She is quite insane! I have tried talking to my father about all this, and he doesn't seem too see it. I think he's ignoring it because she's such a valuable admin. Whether it's field operations or paper work, if my father assigns it to her, she has it done before supper time.

She's honestly a little scary. I'm told that when I was a baby, I wouldn't even let her hold me. Tabitha did most of the babysitting when my father was busy with Team Magma business, which suited me just fine. I love Tabitha, he's one of my closest friends to date, and the reason I have this blog.

But, alas, this is not a Tabitha post, but a Courtney post. One of these days I aught to up and ask her why she speaks the way she does, I'm worried she might, I don't know, shed her human skin and reveal her robot form and shoot lasers at me or something. She still definitely hates my guts, and for the most part, we just stay out of each others ways. That suits me just fine, I do not enjoy hanging around her. She looks at me the same way a butcher eyes a piece of meat. It makes my skin crawl, ugh! ((Shudder.))

[espurr-supremacy]

Holy shit she sounds like a nutcase

Region Travels

Alright, I have been having a bit of a strong urge to go visit Unova. I would very much like to scope out the region and see if any of the universities there have a good degree in geology.

I know the area has a reputation for being kind of rough, but I think I'll be able to stick it out. Having a fresh start where people get to know me before my affiliations is also an exciting thought.

I'm going to propose the idea to my father as a touring of colleges in the region to find the best fit. This is certainly one intention of mine, as the college hunt should be first priority, but... Well there is some selfish intent in visiting the region I suppose. :-)

[espurr-supremacy]

YES

YES

YES

YES

COME VISIT ME

[hoennsgeologyboy-deactivated202]

Hehe, you're rather eager aren't you! I'd be lying if I said your online friendship was of no influence in my decision. :-)

[espurr-supremacy]

smh

[hoennsgeologyboy-deactivated202]

Goodness me, I shall have to prepare myself for that!

Your friend has got quite the mouth on him, doesn't he.

[espurr-supremacy]

and team magma

and he's from hoenn!

[espurr-supremacy]

The question of legendary pokémon experiences was recently asked to me, and the subject has grabbed my interest. Have you ever gotten to meet a legendary before, Aura?

I've never met one up close and personal, but I have had an encounter.

It remains one of the most vivid memories of my life.

I was only about eight or so, and I was playing in the forest behind my grandmother's house at dusk. I remember everything going still and silent, and I felt like someone was watching me. When I turned to the west, about fifteen meters from me was Xerneas, watching me through the trees.

I don't know how long I stood there watching it, time kinda didn't exist for a bit there. Like everything was holding its breath.

By the time I realized it was gone the sun had fully set and my older sister was yelling my name frantically. When she found me she whisked me back to the house. I didn't speak for seven hours, (yay autism!) and when I finally did I told her what I saw. No one in my family believes me, but it's true.

one of the eeriest, most beautiful things I've ever seen. I've been told that Legendary encounters mean something, like, something big, but I've never been able to figure out what Xerneas was trying to tell me.

[hoennsgeologyboy-deactivated202]

That sounds remarkable! Xearneas seems very near to Arceus in it’s level of power and rarity. I hope one day it becomes clear what Xerneas was trying to say to you.

[espurr-supremacy]

me too. i still dream about it freqently.
