Normally, the black and white Zangoose would mess with Freddy with his casual joking and joking as per usual, but seeing the empty and shaken look on the Toxicroak, as well as catching wind of what happened, Bhaltair just had his arms folded with a look of sympathy, but way more disappointment. He couldn't even give a coy smirk over it. "... Damn, dude," he muttered, "... sounds like shit's really hit the fan for ya, huh? Makes me wonder, how the hell're ya gonna get outta this? Like, really?"
Freddy couldn’t muster himself to be in his usual response of anger at the zangoose. He just gave a defeated sigh. “I’ll be honest. I am not sure where this is going to take me. I am moving now in order to avoid trouble from Haines for the time being, but I know I am going to need to form a force of some kind in order to fend off her inevitable hunt for me.”
Freddy’s gaze sharpened like daggers as he glared at his ex-wife. “But I also need to be ready to handle my ex in the future. She may look like an oddly colored greninja, but she is a patient demoness in greninja skin. She may be the one person who can help me hide from Haines’ wrath, but Mariah is a vamp and a seductress. She could easily sell me out to Haines, but she hates Haines a lot. Not sure if she hates me more than her but with her she could always have an agenda against me.” Freddy realized he was sounding like a crazy man ranting about Mariah like she was a demon…no matter how true it was.
“Point is I need to have someone I hate help me prevent another woman who hates me from killing me in retaliation for some things that are none of your damn business.” Freddy eyed him warily. “I’m watching you, so don’t be a shit in my cut.”
First, we have a sequence between Victoria from askthevictorypokemon and Mallow from my blog, abunchofoutcasts. I was going for super cyuuuuute and silly and exaggerated, much like in their style, but I became dissatisfied halfway through, for some reason.
Second is a small scribble of Takeshi from askthebladeduo and Erin from my blog outcasts blog, again. Chef bros/buddies, even if they are opposite genders. Hehehe. uw u
Lastly, it was supposed to be a doodle of Yemir and Eudai from gregnas-the-grouch and Princess and Makani from my other Pokémon blog threekindredspirits. I know it's barely outlined and finished, but I just wanted a nice picture between Princess and her good old wrestling buddy. Opposite of Makani leaning and using Princess' flower to stand, it was supposed to be Eudai for Yemir's horn/crest, looking back. Also, Princess has had a growth spurt since then, so WHOOPS. Qu Q
(It was an RP with SSK's character Bhaltair based off these posts we did around the time these happened. I had saved it, liking the RP seeing it as funny. With his permission he let me post it, cause I liked the good character moments.)
"Oh trust me hun. She's good for a few lattes."
10:50 PM
"The shit Mariah! That's so not fair."
SSK
lmao xD;
"Ya don't saaaaayyyy~?"
me
"Oh totally. She finds zangoose adorable, especially one of Scottish background as yourself."
Freddy proceeds to flip Mariah the double pidove.
SSK
pfft
then Bhaltair rings an arm around Freddy's shoulders and smirks, saying "Can't blame ya, people have the hots for Scotts~ Now let's go get those lattes!" before walking away with Freddy
me
"Mariah, I will end you!"
Later at Starboks. "I hate you. And I hate Mariah so much now." Freddy takes a sip of her cappachino.
"Seriosuly why must today be so full of shit!"
SSK
"Aw c'mon, you gotta learn to relax a little, girl.~ Let the coffee take your mind off this day. It can't be all that bad, right? At least I'm not putting you in any frilly garments and other stuff. ..." he taps himself on the chin as he looks up in thought, smiling, "... though they'd look pretty hot on you...~"
me
Freddy just chuckled. "Uh... funny thing you mentioned that. Mariah made me do that." She began to slump down in her chair. "I just want to go home, lie down and calm down, because today was not my day."
Freddy's face goes bright red when he says that. "Just shut up and drink ya coffee!"
SSK
Bhaltair merely chuckles.
"Gladly.~" He leans back with one arm rested on his chair's armrest, sipping his own cappuchino as he eyed the female Toxicroak.
"You and that other frog... don't have a good "track record" with each other, I'm guessin'? The way she's teasin' you and putting you through that, it almost seems like you two had somethin' goin' on... am I wrong?"
me
"We used to date. She was a spy and thief I was a mercenary and fighter. Then... things happened and she hated me after that, and takes some great pleasure in dicking with me."
Freddy just sighed. "I think this is due to some weird sense of karma. As if this is punishment for letting my friends die." She just looks at her drink longingly.
SSK
Bhaltair's smile halted before slumping to a genuine frown, eyebrows piqued in a conflicted expression as he eyed Freddy. He rubbed the back of his own head.
"So you two were an item before shit went down... mm, that's rough. No wonder you two have sparks flyin' between each other." He leans forward with a collected smile.
"Pardon me for making you recall that, but you're okay now though, right? You look like a tough toad after all." He finishes his coffee and twirls the cup in his claw.
"Funnily enough, I'm a spy and a mercenary of sorts myself, a freelance rogue goin' around helpin' those that need it with two others. Used to be part of a little guild, but after some... -disagreements- with new management, I just roam around stealth-like with a party of three. I just happen to have free time today.~"
me
"No. You're fine. I brought that on myself." Freddy's expression brightened up. "Seriously. I don't know where her lies end or her truth begins."
Freddy gave a smirk at the mention of Bhal being in a guild. "Oh is that so? Got to admit you don't strike me as the spy type. Then again, a lot of Pokémon in my group and the mobs tend to have pokemon that look tougher then they let on. Kind of hope I meet your band one day."
Freddy took a sip from her coffee. "You know... you actually aren't that bad a guy after talking to you."
SSK
Bhaltair chuckled and rested his head on his palm, supported on the table.
"Didja think I was all Howl and no Bite? S'fine, I guess I give off that impression more often than what's best, but with a job like mine, I can't help but mingle. When you're sneaking around at night, setting up traps and always on alert for the next target, you gotta squeeze in some free time for yourself, y'know? All work and no play makes Bhalty a dull boy. And no one likes somebody that doesn't know how and when to have a good time~" With an overhead toss, he manages to sink the coffee cup into a trashcan, then smiles at Freddy genuinely, rather than his hooded-eyed flirt look.
"Who knows, one day you might see 'em, if you don't mind Mienshao and another Greninja. And you're part of a group too, huh? Nice, would be cool to see 'em too. What sorta missions do ya do?"
me
"Sort of the same as you. We help those who need it. But I have a philosophy." She puts her cup on the table giving a wide grin. "I believe morality some what needs to be taken out of the equation when it comes to jobs. I believe in no greater good, no just cause, no ultimate evil. We help anyone who can pay. That said though, I refuse to do slavery, or anyone I would find bad for business though."
Bhaltair: *the black and white mongoose chuckled lowly and handsomely, very amused, as he stood back up, brushing himself off. He leaned forward until his nose booped Freddy's with a nonchalant smile, as if to taunt the Toxicroak.* ... Immunity, babe.~
Freddy just gave a blank stare. She maintained this stare as she walked up to the zangoose.
*wham*
She slams her foot in between his groin.
"Immunity, revoked!"
Freddy cold cocks him with her fist to the side of the head. She then turned around and stormed off.
