"Please do not bring wet bread into my lab."
for ash
❝ wait! you don't like my music?! ❞ three bingos, nearing a blackout, but this is the most important thing on this card by far! definitely. this is a deal breaker for sure! ❝ why don't you like it? what's not to like about it?? ❞
// @professorhellebore - 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃𝐄'𝐒 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄? ( accepting )
"I don't dislike it! It's just not my favorite."
ash swears under her breath as the cup of coffee wobbling precariously at the top of her stack of papers finally succumbs to gravity–only for a hand to snatch it before it tumbles further than an inch or two. exhaling in relief as its held back out, she lifts her gaze to see who'd saved her coffee. and her stupidly expensive (and uncomfortable) heels.
"thank you, uh–"
"friede."
she recognizes him immediately; they haven't met yet, but he was on the dossier of researchers she'd been assigned to work with on some new project. (also a lot prettier in person. she was going to have the worst time, wasn't she? shit.) Juggling the papers into one arm, ash accepted the mug back before smiling nervously.
"nice to meet you. i'm ash–we're supposed to be working on the eternity project together?"
friede's smile is immediate and contagious. (and oh, she is so fucked.) "yeah! so, we've already begun testing–" he's off, and ash hurries to keep pace as she listens, offering her own theories when prompted. his enthusiasm is as contagious as his grin, and by the time they reach the lab, ash is knee deep in theories on what the mysterious treasure might be and what some of the readings might mean.
"this is it–i'll introduce you to everyone else! you can put all that down over there for now. guys, c'mere. this is ash–"
what kind of "i love you" are you?
love you!
it's the "i love you" we use every time we finish up a call with our mom, every time we want to offer our friends a bit of encouragement, the welcome home kiss on the cheek we give our lover every day. it's sending them pictures you know they'll laugh at, buying them strange little nothings that you know they'll like. it's having their bagel order memorized and setting their birthday as your password. somehow, their name weaves its way into almost every funny story you share with others. it's brief, casual, it's a habit. we aren't even aware we do it. it says that love is cradled lightly in your heart, generously given, spilling out into the world unbeknownst to you, making up the web of delicate threads that hold us all together.
Collarbones....
[ comfort ] a tender kiss to provide comfort or reassurance (Friede)
"Not that I don't believe you," Ash says, when she finally leans back to give him a look. "But you only ever kiss me like that when you're about to go do something you know is going to worry me and want me too distracted to think about it."
She definitely doesn't believe him.
Still, Ash lets him kiss her again as she buries her hands in his hair with a low hum. He's warm, this is nice and he has at least an hour before he needs to go anywhere. She can definitely make use of that hour.
🔞 - gimme the spicy headcanon!
as a professor ash spends all day every day with her brain working. sometimes a lady just wants to turn her brain off and follow instructions without having to think further than how to follow said instructions!!!
Send 🔞 for a NSFW headcanon.
[ stolen ] a quick, stealthy, and impromptu kiss snatched in secret ( Friede )
"Mm–"
Oh. Ash leans into it, reaching up to tug him down a little closer. "Hi," she breathes when she leans back, grinning a little stupidly. "What was that for?"
She doesn't think she's done anything recently that she deserved being kissed for. Maybe he was just feeling like it? "We should do that again."
[ forehead ] a gentle kiss on the partner's forehead, conveying care and affection ( Friede )
She's not actually expecting it, pressing her face into her hands with a squeak of surprise at the action; everything's still too new and fragile for her to be anything but self conscious every time he does it.
"Have fun," she mumbles after a moment, fingers shifting apart to peek out from between them. "Don't get eaten by anything and if Koa tries to convince you we need more Trapinch, no we do not." They'll probably be back by dinner from picking up groceries and, if she knows Friede at all, they'll probably have obtained four trapinch from who even knew where.
"Don't forget the berries!"

❝ shushhshh. ❞ they wave a hand at the professor, not even offering a glance in her direction. no, Koa's yellow irises are all too focused on the newest episode of Secrets from the Stars that's pulled up and streaming on their laptop in the lab. ❝ my fave guy is talkin'! ❞ by fave they mean Sirio, because who wouldn't have this guy as their fave?? people who hate fun, that's who.
Well, he is entertaining. "Do you think I can convince Friede to bring him home? I think he'd be fun to talk to."
Oh.
Well.
That made his workload considerably lighter, especially if it meant he had to simply talk to the drilburs and then escort them home. Perhaps he could get into contact with the local league officials and have the trainer investigated as well for further misconduct. “I can do that, and if we get the trainer’s identity, I can have the Unovan League send word to other regions in case they try similar approaches there.”
N looked over the forms and signed as well before returning them to the binder, tucking it into the bag. He pulled out two temporary pokéballs, though the colours were inversed and slightly different – white, with blue accents. They also had a simple P.O. insignia enscribed on them.
“These are temporary,” he explained, in case Ash was curious. “Seeing as the trainer likely abandoned and therefore removed them from registry, these were designed and tested to act as a go-between in order to relocate pokémon from place to place.” Neat piece of tech, but N still felt uncomfortable using them.
Alas. Part of the job required him to do so.
A glance to Ash, “Whenever you’re ready.”
"That'd be great actually. It may not be an issue in other regions but pokemon being abandoned in an ecosystem they didn't exist in prior can actually cause a lot of damage! And that's if they aren't just killed by more aggressive pokemon in the wild."
She sighed, though looked curious at the mentioned pokeballs. "Really? I might need to talk to your organization later about perhaps getting some for the lab... It's not often but once in awhile we get wild pokemon getting dangerously close to towns, and catching a pokemon in a ball just to release it elsewhere is..." She began heading for the enclosure, gesturing.
"Well, you know how they work since you made those! I'm sure you can imagine that having a ball offer you the promise of a lifelong bond only to be severed while still in the infant stages can be traumatizing. A ball that removes the stress of catch and release while still keeping them comfortable and removing the risk of trying to relocate a pokemon who wandered somewhere unsafe without either party getting hurt? Revolutionary!"
They should definitely make those wildly available to rangers. "Here we are."
❝ i would never !! ❞ their jaw hangs open to express what appears to be a very real shock at the accusation. ❝ boss, misusing research funds is a crime ! ❞ a crime that Koa did not commit. however, they did repurpose a dusty, old canvas tent found in the back of an on-site storage shed while cleaning it out. nobody would miss it though. probably. reduce, reuse, recyle, whatevah whatevah—
a pointed SNIFF breaks the brief pause, with a groan to follow.
❝ FIIIINE. they are carrying my stuff though. ❞
"That's why I said make sure to write a paper on it if you did. This could totally be valuable research, seeing how human concepts influence their behavior and cause changes."
Or something like that. It didn't matter, as long as it was legitimate enough.
"That's fine if they carry things." She waited for them to pick four before nodding.
"Right! Off we go."
"Has it already started?! Did I miss the start?" She promised to watch Friede and Aspen!
getting so wasted with your coworker at a drinking party that neither of you remember you got married that night
yeah ash and friede got wasted while drinking with coworkers and ended up eloping after being egged on by their exceed coworkers. both were too drunk and have no memory of this
they didn't mention it the next morning or ever again so their coworkers assumed they got it annulled once they were sober in the morning and it never came up
both of them have no idea they've been married this entire time
