It started simply enough, a small animal peeking around bushes, around trees. It started innocently enough— tiny paws grabbing food from her belongings, scampering off into the grass to ( presumably ) eat. She’d seen the felid beast sniffing around her whereabouts for days before she began actively wondering about it: where was it when it wasn’t pilfering snacks ( that she TOTALLY WASN’T leaving for it on purpose )? Was it safe? Was it warm? She kept on wondering about it until she woke up one morning in the crook of a tree branch, cradled between the leaves, with a small ball of warmth nesting soundly on her stomach. That morning she’d spent scratching between it’s ears, under it’s chin, with a roseate heat spreading across usually frigid cheeks. That morning she also began to notice peculiarities that, while not life-threatening, were of well-placed concern.
DUST; it fell from the gikongan dispenser, neatly tucked into her belongings. Though assignments were plentiful she far preferred to remain in her true form rather than assume that of a meager human vessel— but this was circumstance, not solely brought on by the tuft of purple she was tucking into her knapsack, but one also spurred by a disproportionate unfamiliarity with these particular surroundings. This was a new jurisdiction after all and, like it or not, she’d suddenly become the guardian of one interesting feline— not that that was particularly unusual in of itself ( you see, it’s not that she wasn’t used to unique or one-of-a-kind cats, but rather this one was certainly NOT of the Shinigami variety and therefore was either an unheard of species OR very sick, the poor thing. ).
Walking the streets, wobbly-kneed in this horrid contraption, she comes across a building of relatively decent structure touting some form of competitive sport— to and fro, in and out, many ODD looking creatures are accompanying humans through the doors. She stands there observant for a span of several minutes, casing the architecture, sizing up the clientele, before deciding this may provide a clue to her newfound companion ( not that she was planning to keep it after ensuring it wasn’t sick, mind you, that would be absurd ). And so she enters the building, all four-foot-eleven eighty-three pounds, backpack full of hungry kitten, and eyes aloft with determined fury: the one in charge, the so-called Blanche, advertised within and beyond, was straight ahead. With no concern for anything in her path, she’s intimidating ( to the other patrons at least ) and bold: “I need you to look at my— this— kitten I found. It’s dying. You can help these things, can’t you?”
Mystic Office, Unova location, Castelia City. Blanche’s most visited branch office by FAR -- perhaps only rivaled by the Lumiose office -- more maintenance was required for this high-traffic subsidiary for trainer volume alone. This was only a quick trip: the Sinnoh office apparently had some papers that Blanche needed to sign personally ... Why they weren’t forwarded to Alola HQ was BEYOND them, though they didn’t mind traveling.
It wasn’t uncommon for Mystic members to TRY to talk to them, though if they were to reply, it was usually a very brief, crisp conversation. They were a busy individual, and they tried their best to be open and welcoming, but people pleasing wasn’t really their "thing”, as Spark and Candela would say. However, when this young woman ( who looked quite ill herself, not nearly as stable as someone so hellbent should be ) bustled up to her making demands, they couldn’t help but stop.
The foyer falls to all but a hush, whispers of Someone got Leader Blanche to stop? What’s going on? and the like begin buzzing around the room. Blanche, unfazed by any of this commotion or rather, lack thereof, is HARDLY intimidated by this tiny woman, and tucks their arms behind their back, chin raised, brow arched. They themselves are a rather SMALL force to be reckoned with, and though they aren’t daunted by her presence in the least, they do hold a considerable amount of RESPECT for her already.
❛ No. This is a Team Mystic branch office, NOT a Pokécenter. However, if it is an emergency, I can give it a general physical and help you get there. ❜
