The Curse of Knowing

“H-harriet, please.” Dusk sighed. At least Yoshi didn’t look as panicked as he did last time. “No mauling your brother.”

Dusk shook her head and gave a little chuckle at the family shenanigans. She couldn’t bring herself to stay mad, she didn’t get to experience this stuff as a kid. Heck, she thought it was just something in the movies. 

“I’m sorry again about the burned waffles.” She apologized with a bow. “I do hope breakfast wasn’t too much trouble to finish without me.”

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ It wasn’t any trouble at all. I made a whole stack of them, so everyone can just dig it! “ Maria giggled, pointing to the set table. Between the four of them, they’d managed to set out a large amount of waffles, eggs, and fruit for the family to eat. Harriet had even given everyone colourful party napkins and surrounded their plates with very healthy looking candies.

   “ I-I’m sorry. I’ve done nothing to contribute... “ Yoshi gently set Harriet down as the tiny terror took off to claim her seat. She wanted to be the head of the table. “ Everything looks amazing... “

[wishfullotus]

“Oh… I see. Harriet! That was rude! I’d be up too if some loud girl slam jammed into my room while I was snoozing. Goodness gracious.” Dusk huffed. Unable to stay mad for long, Dusk went back to checking on Maria, making sure she didn’t have a bump on her head. 

“I’m sorry about her Yoshi, please finish getting ready. Breakfast will be ready soon and-”

Wait a minute…

Breakfast!!

The waffles had been left unattended! Good mom points go to Dusk Dareal. Yep yep. Scrambling to her feet, she took off back to the kitchen, hoping to at least spare the food of severe burning, but was greeted with charred remains of a waffle.

Her first day as a mom was off to a great start.

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ Please apologize to Yoshiya, Harriet. You too, Maria. You weren’t going to knock either, were you? “ Robert had caught up, unfortunately. Because this meant leaving the waffles to be burnt to a sad crisp in the kitchen. But the two girls did apologize to Yoshiya for being rude before Silver shut the door. 

   “ I-I’m sorry, Ms Dusk! Did we ruin the waffles too? “ Maria worried as she followed after her three guardians into the kitchen. The smell of charcoal was enough to make her cover her nose. “ I’m sorry! I can help make new ones! “

   “ Do you think Yoshiya is going to be okay, Dusk? “ Haru changed the subject from the waffle disaster, “ He looked pretty shaken up. “

   Indeed, someone was presently in his room with his Pokemon. He was too embarrassed to go out again after that commotion, and Silver was trying to give him a pep talk.

[masqued-identity]

     “ Eh? “ She blinked, cheery expression and loud voice overridden with confusion, “ Why aren’t you wearing a shirt? Are you that kind of weirdo? “

[lugiafan2016-blog]

    “ AH— AUUUU! “  Luckily, he had already mostly changed his clothes. Yoshiya had been trying to finish buttoning his shirt when Harriet slammed the door open and welcomed herself into his new room. He had known there would be two other girls here, but…  Where did he start with analyzing Harriet? Loud? Crazy? Kinda scary?

    “ I-I’m… I-I’m…! “ He started, but couldn’t finish. Yoshi was so embarrassed to be caught practically shirtless that he had short circuited.

[forgotten-wisdom]

    “ Harriet! Not so loudly! Mr Robert said that Yoshiya is the quiet type! “ A little blondie came strolling up behind her loud ‘sister,’ scolding her in a soft voice. Maria stepped up behind Harriet and then picked over her shoulder, preparing an apology, “ I’m very sorry, Yoshiya. Harriet is obnoxious. You’re allowed to be angry at her--- “

    “ ERRH-- “

    “ I’M SORRY FOR INTRUDING--! “

                                                ----  and Maria took off, blushing horribly and covering her face. Covering her face and running proved to be a bad idea, since she only needed seven steps to run into a wall. “ haurgh! “

[flowingpassions]

“No! Arceus no, that is definitely not weird, in fact..I’m more surprised you’d be inclined to call me that…ahaha it makes me so happyyyy~ No need for sorries at all, you can call me whateeeever you’d like…and I’ll just call you Maria?” 

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ R-Really? I’ve always wanted a sibling... Okay! Big Brother Yuki! A-And I can be... yes! Ma, Maria is fine... Thank you! I cannot wait to see you in person! “

[flowingpassions]

“…Oh my Arceus..” Yuki was getting emotional at getting called that! He was practically dancing in place, 

“Ah, my name, my name, yeah-its Yuki. Just Yuki..Nice to meet you Ze– erm..Maria~” 

[forgotten-wisdom]

  “ I-I’m sorry... Is that weird? Should I just call you ‘Yuki’ from now on? I guess it is kind of strange to be called big brother out of the blue, huh...? Sorry... “

[flowingpassions]

“Yay, good! There’s been a lot of people saying that and…yeah.” He looked to the side awkwardly. 

First thing to do when you’ve met up with your sister again? Confess all of the things that are not your kinks. Most definitely. The second thing? Tell her to go to a strange place without him. Totally good.

“…Aaaanyway..I’ll see you up there? Do you know where it is?”

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ Y-Yes, I do, um... Also! Y-Your name...? What do I call you, big brother..? “

[flowingpassions]

Blinking and then staring off into space like The Office, Yuki realized he did not know where those places were…except Floraroma. That’s where he bought some flowers and trees to plant around his lake BUT.

“…Y-yeah it will be. That place it huuuuge! So I can definitely just meet you there. Do you have Pokemon with you to help with the trip or do not need them? ALSO just to clarify..I am in a Glameow kigu suit that is making me like a cat. Don’t be alarmed as it is not a kink of mine. At all.”

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ I can make... it...? 

      ?????????????????????

     U-Um... Um? O-Okay... I’ll uh... Well! I’m... I’m sorry. That’s unfortunate. I won’t hold it against you...? “

[flowingpassions]

Probably, he arrived juuust in time for it last night! Nyaha, yes! Definitely. I can either meet you someplace we haven’t looked OR we can divide and conquer. Whatcha think, sis? 

I can travel anywhere. What places have you checked so far?

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ He must have been pretty surprised, eheh... Um oh. Jubilife City and Oreburgh... Oh, and the route in between... It’s going to be hard to check all of Floraroma alone... “

[flowingpassions]

Nyehehehe yup! I am~ Child of Emotions is me. Cursed and all. But of course, we overlook and watch the both of you! Although, Theta just changed her hairstyle to blonde. Its frrreally really confusing!

Anywho, I’ve checked the areas and towns around my lake already..nothing here. So that narrows it down, mrroow? ;3

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ Ah- Really?! I wonder if she changed it to look like her dad...?

     Oh! Y-Yes, it does, um. M-Maybe we should expand the search, then! T-To...um... together? “

[flowingpassions]

His instinctual smiling went to a halt and he immediately frowned sadly.

“Me neither. That place is unforgettable. But I doubt you’d recognize me. I looked different back then. Anyway..” Deep breathes, wash that allllll of, Yuki! Smiles!

“Hah, but yes, I know you because my mom likes keeping tabs on her sisters, and wanted the same for me to watch my younger siblings. So we have our ways of travelling and seeing if you two are okay.” 

[forgotten-wisdom]

  “ ... I wasn’t supposed to meet the others anyway, once they confirmed me as--

   Ah, wait! Then you’re... Mesprit’s child! Your mother looks after Theta-nee too? “

[flowingpassions]

  “Nyoo, nyo~ I know purrely because mom and I watch you two specifically. Just to make sure you two are safe. We’ve nefurrr actually met, you see~ I know who you are though, so no need to apolgize~” 

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ H-How do you know me? You’re not... f-from the facility... are you? I’d recognize you, right? I don’t think I could ever forget that place... “

[flowingpassions]

“Wait a second..ZETA MARIA? Holy shit! Its you! I never thought I’d see you around the internet! Mrrooww its so lovely to get to hear your fuurroice~” Yuki couldn’t believe it. Even the fake ears on his kigu seems to be moving in excitement. This was HIS sister! Uxie’s daughter!

“This is so exciting..are you searching for the badges too? I am in Sinnoh as well! Wanna meet up, sis? :DD” 

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ Um-! Well... It might be easier with two sets of eyes, right? You’re um... I don’t remember, sorry. I’m not ‘Zeta Maria’ right now. It’s just Maria. Sorry. “

[forgotten-wisdom]

open roleplay | sinnoh

   “ Um... Hello? My name is... Maria. I’m wondering if anyone in Sinnoh has seen some missing Hoenn League Badges? I... ooh... This region is so big, where do I start...? Zeta would know... “

    It would be so much easier if she was allowed to transform! But Haru told her she didn’t have to... Still... ‘Zeta’ would be so much more useful than clumsy ‘Maria’ right now.

[kxlosixnplxyers]

“Aah..It seems Acelin is interested in you. Maybe you’re one to attack Pokemon yes? They say either lonely or friendly people do…Or do lonely people mostly attract cats…”

Cue the Braixen walking circles around the new face, tail swaying curiously.

@fated-project

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ U-Um... I guess...? I’m not very lonely, though. “ Zeta Maria eyed the Braixen regardless, a smile tempting her lips. Her Patrat, Lucas, cowered in her puffy yellow hair as the blonde girl watched the boy and his Pokemon. “ Your Braixen is really pretty... You two must train a lot! “

[masqued-identity]

   “ ‘Stay Home,’ I told them. ‘Use the credit card for food and whatever,’ I told them.

     Of course, my girls went and disappeared on me. And no! I’m not panicking. At all. Nope. “

[forgotten-wisdom]

   “ We didn’t disappear. We’re in Unova! “

[servicetrainer]

@forgotten-wisdom

“Is that a Patrat! What a cutie!”

[forgotten-wisdom]

     “ Yes, it is! We just started traveling together... My name is Zeta Maria, and his name is Lucas~! “

                                           Lucas chirps in greeting, nestled in Zeta Maria’s bouncy gold hair.

[forgotten-wisdom]

      “ H-Hey, guess what! I caught my first wild Pokemon today...! “

      “ His name is Lucas, and he’s a Patrat! I’ve never actually trained a wild Pokemon before, but I think we’re getting along okay... Oh, but does anyone have any tips that don’t come out of a book? “
