onlysoliloquy:

Mikuri flipped through the pages of a cooking magazine, which he happened to be the cover of. He was posed eating a batch of home-made biscuits and chocolates, elegantly arranged in a thin dessert glass.

“Six years ago, actually. I named him after that businessman we met during our trip to Alola, Wilbert, but with two t’s. A group of Lanturn has been raising him in secret, so I’m not surprised you haven’t heard of him.” Mikuri looked delighted. “Oh, here it is! Madame Soleil’s recipes for a healthy Pokemon breakfast. She has one just for Water-type Pokemon. A sick Luvdisc of mine recovered in a week after I added her recipe in its diet. Absolutely phenomenal.”

Daigo humoured Wallace with a quirk of his eyebrow. Really, now. He wouldn’t put it past Mikuri’s son to actually exist, but to be raised under the proposed circumstances was something else. If it were true that a school of lanturn were raising his son, it would have made the headlines. Not because Mikuri had a son, but because of the sheer absurdity of it all.

“Madame’s recipes are indeed something,” replied Daigo, offhandedly. His mind was still focused on Wilbertt’s hypothetical upbringing.

He set his teacup and saucer down on the table, deciding to forgo the topic of Wallace’s son in favour of something he could actually attempt to understand. “Why was one of your luvdisc ill, anyway? Kelp got its tongue?”

There was a swellow, and a girl whose name he didn’t remember. Her swellow was a brave fighter. It knew how to hold its head high and remain confident in its abilities despite all odds, but above all, it knew how to fight honourably. She was a great trainer.

... was a great trainer.

Once in a long while, his dreams are marred by a song that comes from a murky faraway. In the dream, a bird trills like spring is coming after the end of a long winter. It sings a song of hope even in the darkest, coldest times, even as the red around its chest grows erratically.

It never has the chance to finish its song, because Daigo always wakes up before it does.

She was quick to notice, stopping almost immediately to look down at him. Ah, she was always the tall one between them — it helped that she was much older and girls always did grow faster. So, it was kind of natural for her to look down at him in the literal sense. (Never what it implied.) She turned away soon enough, realizing it probably wasn’t exactly the nicest thing in Hoennian culture or whatever, choosing to bring a free hand to comb her hair, lifting her hat as she did so.

“We should probably head down now,” she said, trying to make it sound like she was talking to herself. Daigo’s fam–security was probably roaming around some place nearby, trying to find them by now. It’d be bad if they’d got to them, or at least annoying. It meant she was gonna get lectured by way more people than necessary, nevermind their rough handling and —

In short, it was just such as pain.

She nudged him a little, “if you stay sleeping, I’ll just give you a piggyback right all the way to your room.” Have their fathers stare and all their fathers’ visitors too!

Daigo cracked open an eye, one part amused and the other less so. A piggyback ride sounded great, but it was more than likely that they wouldn’t survive the stairs up to his room. Maybe if he told Aurea to let him off once they were at the doorstep...

“Did anyone call?” he asked Aurea, stretching a little but still unwilling to move, “Can’t we stay longer?”

It was quiet. No one was around but Aurea, and maybe some wild pokémon in the tall grass. At home, it would be a riot with all the guests and entertainment going on. If he had to go to bed by eight while they were still enjoying themselves, that wasn’t fair at all.

Might as well do better by staying out until half past eight, then going home for supper and then bed.

Aurea was around, anyway. What could go wrong?

“We should stay until the nincada come out from the earth,” Daigo suggested.

#giarupack #v: the past can hurt

Does your character feel that they deserve to have what they want, whether it be material or abstract, or do they feel they must earn it first?

chardev hard mode

Feeling like he deserves something or not is something that has never crossed his mind.

It simply wasn’t a factor in his upbringing. ‘I have been good, therefore I will get presents at Christmas,’ or thoughts along those line rarely cross his mind. Likewise, ‘All rocks, shiny or otherwise, belong in my pocket for I am a rock collector,’ is also a thought that makes very little sense to him.

His thought process usually goes from identifying a want to forming an action plan to obtain the desired object/result. One could, theoretically, argue that he falls into the latter category as he automatically thinks of ‘how’ to earn it; on the flip side, not even considering that he might not deserve to have it pushes him to the former.

Either way, he thinks in actions, not emotions.

@onlysoliloquy ft wallace -- a dialogue over tea.

Lisia was a rising star, a coordinator with a flair for the extravagant. It was all Mikuri, down to the colour of her hair, but Daigo hadn’t managed to put two and two together until Mikuri casually mentioned something about Lisia being his niece just a moment ago.

Today was the second Saturday of the month. Daigo and Mikuri had somehow come to a mutual agreement that every second Saturday was a day to sit down, have some tea, and maybe catch up a little or not at all. Last week, Daigo had read three chapters of a book, and Mikuri had painted something that vaguely looked like a bonsai.

This week, all Daigo’s brain would think about was Lisia. For the past twenty-something years or so, Daigo had been under the impression that Mikuri was without close relatives of note. Just like he was, if it weren’t for Aurea and Uncle Cedric and, well, Mikuri himself.

Did Aurea know, too? Did she simply neglect to tell him?

No, that wasn’t right. They never talked about contests, anyway. It just wasn’t their sort of thing to worry about. Lisia would never have become the centre of their conversation.

Daigo raised an eyebrow over the pale rouge of his tea. He sipped at it, if only to seem polite before bluntly expressing his thoughts:

“You have -- a niece? What’s next, a son you’ve fathered, I don’t know, maybe a decade ago?”

Bright and shining — that was the only way she could describe the city. It carried so many things she hadn’t seen before, and she was half tempted to drag Daigo around to see each and every one of them. It just — would be kinda rude to, right? She had that much in manners at least.

And, this was the city where her mom and Daigo’s met, right? Or was that another one? The places here were hard enough to understand in one language. This place seemed to have three, or even more! Papa didn’t prepare her for that!

“We should get something to eat before we go to the gym. Maybe find a place to rest before it gets dark if we plan on staying here for the day — and we should! We could probably learn a lot from here and –”

“Oh. Are you okay?”

Daigo sighed again. When Uncle Juan said that this was going to be a perfect summer adventure, he sure hadn’t anticipated the incident at the airport. Neither did he care to mention that Kalos was absolutely packed with strangers, and languages he couldn’t even read.

Uncle Juan must have had a particularly wild time as a trainer, he eventually figured.

He patted Wing’s back idly. The skarmory clicked its beak in approval as it looked around for anything interesting in the city -- there it went, one of those fancy dog pokémon that came in all shapes and sizes. Right now, that one sported a particularly hilarious combination of green and hat made out of fur.

Wing clicked its beak twice. Daigo looked at it.

“Yes, food,” he quickly agreed before Wing got any ideas, “Not one of those sandwiches though. They do it funny in Kalos.”

Is your character more likely to remove a problem/threat, or remove themselves from a problem/threat?

Check out this answer for a brief explanation.

Steven doesn’t actively remove problems or threats unless he feels up to it. He would rather remove himself and let the situation play out naturally; he’ll never stick his nose into someone else’s business.

If it concerns himself or his vested interests, there is a higher chance of him taking action. Not by much, though, unless it happens on a very large scale. Catch him in one of his moods though, and he’ll actually try to do something about it for his own amusement.

Despite all of that, he’s very much inclined to avoid conflict in all of its forms, thank you very much. His time is better spent on other matters.

How does your character treat people in service jobs?

Most of the time, they go unnoticed by him. Or he’s paying enough money to their employers and tip boxes that he has no reason to complain, but instead, be that one celebrity figure with priority service that other customers complain about to their friends.

Still, Steven has no reason to be polite to a server who asks for his autograph even before taking his order at a restaurant. Similarly, he has no reason to apologize to a customer service officer who cried over the phone out of sheer stress at having to deal with one of his complaints.

On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?

Steven doesn’t carry much on him when he’s walking around town – maybe a couple of credit cards, his ID, and access items (keys, or passes) to wherever he’s staying. Cash, if he’s in a particularly small town that isn’t a popular tourist hotspot. (For example, Verdanturf accepts credit cards, but Floaroma does not.)

One might expect pokéballs of some sort to always be on him, but that is not the case. As a retired champion, Steven sees little to no need to carry pokémon with him unless he is intentionally taking them out for a stroll.

Does your character feel more comfortable with more clothing, or with less clothing?

Ultimately, it depends on the weather. Why wear more when it’s hot out? Why wear only one layer when it’s a freezing cold winter with many inches of snow.

What does affect his comfort levels is the material used to make his clothes, and whether they are tailored or store-bought.

Is your character preoccupied with money or material possession? Why or why not?

Yes, and no.

Having more money is always good. Having a collection of things he likes is also good. There’s nothing to dislike about having many items under his name, except when it comes to lamenting the fact that he’ll never have all the things ever. He rarely complains about not having something in particular -- if he wants it, he’ll eventually acquire it.

Collecting them all and amassing all things that are good are nothing but the dreams of budding pokémon trainers. As the saying went: ‘Gotta collect ‘em all’, right?

How does your character normally deal with confrontation?

He does not.

He simply elects to remove himself from the situation until he dies down, and if he is caught in the crossfire -- he’ll make a half-assed attempt to pacify the parties involved, and then abscond from the situation.

Of course, it only results in more problems for himself...

△ + How does Steven (not Daigo) feel about the champions, including himself?

ask my character invasive questions, he’ll rate it out of 10 and answer

Steven raised an eyebrow at the question. How did he feel about his ex-colleagues? There were so many of them. Most of them he’d only met during terribly inefficient and boring meetings – he didn’t think those provided good enough grounds for him to pass judgement on their character.

“Funny you’d ask this. I can’t say for sure what I think about myself,” he said, frowning slightly, “It’s hardly going to be accurate. Being a champion is fundamentally a job one does out of love for their region, I think.”

That, he never had as much as his ex-colleagues did.

“The pay isn’t handsome, and the workload is heavy enough to snap one’s back.

“I can’t imagine what Lance must go through, with paperwork to file through for two regions, and having to deal with an influx of challengers due to a sudden boom in trainers.” Red’s contribution to the region’s safety had singlehandedly inspired an entire generation of aspiring trainers. Hoenn too saw an increase in trainers, but the neighbouring regions of Kanto and Johto were undoubtedly where it spiked the most.

He shook his head, as if to hammer in the point. “The trials and tribulations of the Dragon’s Den must have made quite the man out of him, if he’s still alive and kicking after all these years. Fantastic productivity levels, too. I wonder how he does it.

“So – Carnet, of Kalos? She’s got the air of an actress, but you should see the sparks just fly when she’s in the same room as Cynthia. Neither of them budge an inch when they’re engaged in an argument – Cynthia lets loose her sarcasm and wit; Carnet with her levelheadedness and sheer ability to deconstruct her opponent’s argument.

“– and that’s good for them,” Steven finally added, “but it’s horrible for the rest of us. We had to sit and watch them argue for hours. I do hope Wallace is doing fine at recent meetings. He had to skip the last one due to personal obligations, but I hear that they’re keen on hearing his opinion the coming meeting.

“If you’ve watched any of the contests he’s participated in – you’ll know that Wallace is good at expressing himself. A gentleman he may be, but standing one’s ground is another matter altogether. I’m almost certain that whichever side he takes will be the one that triumphs, but in truth?”

A smile tugged at his lips as he revelled in the imagery of the soon-to-happen League quarterly meeting.

“I hope Alder manages to actually sneak in his flask of whiskey. If Wallace decides he’s on no one’s side, it’ll last days. Lance will probably return to paperwork twice the height he left it at.”

He laughed, concluding, “I have never been as glad to be a retiree. And that makes this question a one.”

△ + How does Daigo (not Steven) feel about the champions, including himself?

“Well. Let’s start with Hoenn. Steven Stone is a steel-type user, now retired, the paparazzi has a field day with him… I don’t know what’s so charismatic about him. Is it the suit? Or the specialisation? He doesn’t even battle these days. He’s a figurehead.

“Mikuri, now – he’s a triple threat: Contests, battles, and leadership. A good candidate for Hoenn, really. I wouldn’t prefer seeing anyone else with that cape around their shoulders.”

He paused. Hoenn came to mind the easiest, but the other regions were a blur to him. He remembered the spiky-haired guy from the Indigo League, and then he drew a blank. Shit.

“I honestly don’t remember who was in charge of Isshu. The same goes for Alola. Was it a girl? No? Fuck, I don’t care.

“So, Kanto, uh… Lance, was it? Yeah, probably. Dragon-type specialist, capes, the hair… Isn’t he sort of a show-off? ‘I, Lance the dragon master,’ and all. Probably needs a break; he looks so serious all the time.

“Johto – hang on. Kanto and Johto shared a league. That leaves…

“Kalos. That actress with the expensive hairstyle. Her name – her name … a flower’s name? Carnation? Oh, Carnet.”

He fell silent at that point. He didn’t really know what to say about her. That was she was famous? That she was popular even amongst non-trainers? That she and Mikuri would probably get along really, really well when it came to fashion sensibilities?

Shrugging, he decided to say what he knew, limited as it was.

“There was some show that documented her battling style. She tries to surprise challengers with mega evolution, or something like that.

“And no, I didn’t forget Sinnoh. I think their champion is probably gallivanting around world, trying to evade her fans while catching up on the hottest new gossip, something like that. I wonder what she’s doing right now.”

Honestly, what were the champions up to? It wasn’t like he kept track of the news.

“What a troublesome question. A ten.”
