since I'm not in Hisui anymore, I guess I should make a new blog intro.
I'm still not posting my actual name on the internet, so you can call me CK. I'm 30. he/him pronouns
I'm in Unova with @anotherscreed at the moment and I've got two pokemon, a Hisuian Zorua named Petruccio, and a Porygon named Anima. guess we'll see what happens from here.
Blog Information:
[Pelliper Mail is enabled.] #pelliper mail

(OOC info under the cut)
OOC: still @gaydragonwizards here!
for those of you who did not go wiki diving upon the OOC reveal that Des of @anotherscreed is in fact Desmond Miles, I suppose now's as good a time as any to confirm that CK is Clay Kaczmarek. he's not nearly as major a character of Desmond, but he's got a background role in AC 2 and AC Brotherhood, and a fairly major one in AC Revelations.
I'm mostly planning to keep this blog low stakes, because Clay's kinda just drifting along. that said, the blog title is not an exaggeration, he's got major anger issues based on what happened to him, and sometimes that comes through. so like. exactly what it says on the tin, etc etc. also, to borrow from Des's blog intro, because that applies here as well: "expect there to be canon-typical content and/or themes of assassin's creed at some point. this includes but is not necessarily limited to murder, serious character injury, and what is probably best described as varying kinds of mental fuckery."
CK mostly just interacts with Des and answers Pelliper Mails at the moment, but feel free to send stuff in!
Pelipper mail: two slices of sheet cake! It's vanilla oran berry flavored with tiny chunks of fruit in the batter, and has a rich cream cheese frosting.
anyway sassy stole @sixteenscreed's popcorn. unclear if that counted as lunch or not but it definitely wasn't my lunch
[The same picture is attached, but zoomed out a little. The very smug Mimikyu has a bowl of popcorn, and is also wedged into the back of a kitchen cabinet too small for anything much bigger than a Mimikyu to get into.]

oops hello caps lock. probably warranted though. there's so many different names for the holiday over here but i for one am absolutely DELIGHTED that it still exists in some form though :D they're dressing up as their umbreon and their umbreon is dressing up as them which is hilarious. not sure what I'm gonna dress up as on the day yet but like. I got plenty of time
[A video is attached, which starts out looking at the sidewalk of Castelia city before focusing on a kid with dark hair and a Shinx at his side. The kid is saying, "Hey! I've never seen a Pokémon like that before, want a battle?"
"Uh," CK says. The angle seems to be from Anima's point of view, going by videos he's posted in the past. His face isn't visible, but the confusion is evident in his tone. "Me?" he asks, gesturing to himself.
The kid nods emphatically. "Yeah! You've got a neat Pokémon, and the best way to learn more about Pokémon is by battling them. Also, Twinkie really likes fighting things."
The Shinx, presumably Twinkie, nods just as emphatically with his tail flicking back and forth, like he's considering whether or not to pounce.
"For the record, which one are you more interested in?" CK asks. "Anima or Petruccio?" He gestures down toward the camera, and then to the Hisuian Zorua perched on his shoulders.
"Petruccio! I've seen a Porygon before," the kid says dismissively. "Also it seems busy."
...Well, considering that Anima is presumably recording the video, he's not wrong about that.
Petruccio hops down from CK's shoulders and bounds closer to the kid and his Shinx.
"Yeah, sure, why not?" says CK.
"Yessss!" the kid says, as his Shinx scampers forward as well. "Let's do this, Twinkie. Spark!"
The air crackles with electricity as Twinkie throws himself at Petruccio in a tackle. Not to be confused with a Tackle.
Petruccio growls something, and CK crosses his arms, head tilted as he considers the scene. "Petruccio, Snarl."
The snarl that Petruccio lets out in response to that is much louder, and actually manages to force Twinkie back from his own attack. Twinkie's trainer laughs before calling out, "Leer!"
Twinkie doesn't attack, this time, as such. But the surprisingly intimidating look coming from a relatively small Pokémon probably counts as one, even if it doesn't do anything outright to Petruccio like the Spark attack did.
"Bitter Resentment," CK counters.
Ghastly energy coalesces around Petruccio before it shoots forward at Twinkie. The Shinx shakes it off, shivering a bit, but otherwise not looking too much the worse for wear.
"Oh, huh, okay," the kid mutters to himself before he calls out, "Bite!"
Twinkie pounces, latching onto Petruccio at a speed that makes the other Pokémon briefly flinch.
"Ouch," CK mutters under his breath, quiet enough that Anima barely picks it up from its position. "Swift," he instructs.
"Shit," the kid says. "Bite again, quick!"
Twinkie lunges forward as Petruccio summons several star-shaped rays to hit him. The Shinx is quick, but not quite quick enough, because when the dust settles, both Petruccio and Twinkie seem to be knocked out.
"That was awesome!" the kid says, scooping up his fallen Shinx to hug him close to his chest. "Thanks, mister! Twinkie, you did so good..."
Twinkie cracks his eyes open to slow-blink at his trainer. The kid, apparently recognizing this for what it is, slow-blinks right back.
"Good job, kid," CK says as he strides forward to collect Petruccio. "He's a Zorua, if you were wondering."
"Ohhhhh," the kid says. Then he tilts his head a little to one side. "I thought those were Dark-types?"
In fairness, they are in Unova. Where most Zorua are Dark-types. It's an understandable mistake.
"Most of them are," CK agrees. "He's a Hisuian Zorua, though."
The kid blinks a few times. "Like ancient Sinnoh? That Hisui? Didn't know they had Zorua. Does Sinnoh still have Zorua?"
"No idea," CK admits. "I haven't really looked into it."
"...Oh." He looks a little disappointed. "Well, thanks anyway! Seeya around!"
The video ends with him taking off in what is presumably the direction of the nearest Pokécenter.]
work later, my cousin/roommate decided to drag me publicly on rotomblr dot com for thinking about signing paperwork with a sharpie. I wasn't gonna ACTUALLY sign it with a sharpie
