Yes fucking way.

Colm was chatting away with Gengar on a public bench. How did Poppy get to a park, perhaps nobody will ever know. But Colm had not really noticed anyone around just yet, happy but visibly tired. Gengar also looked like he wanted Colm to move, so that pointed towards Colm needing sleep.

As usual.

Holy shit. "Holy shit." She whispered. And then louder. "Holy shit! It's you! Like, actually you?" Gotta confirm this. She stumbled over and...

Poked. Repeatedly. Incessantly. Nonstop. Gotta be sure you're real - and then be sure even touching you is real. Didn't drink enough to not dissociate.

"It's youuuuuuu..."

Whether she was paying attention to her surroundings or not, she would soon hear a loud, low-voiced yawn, followed by a shy "whoops" in the midst of this quiet night. Maybe she'd also hear a gruff huff and a soft laugh. All of it was familiar, probably. Now where was the public bench?

SHE wasn't that great at the whole surroundings thing right now - clubbing turned to drinking after no takers. Even that activity had started to slow down - did she just scream desperate now? Weh.

But Noir did and she felt the ball shake and she turned around, swaying a little.

"No fucking way."

((Okay old man, I wanna hear about the first few days you met with the previous Gym Leader of Viridian City. Anything memorable about those days? Or something oKAY.))

“The first few days?” He looked slightly confused. “I was ten years old. It was my first day traveling, and he was the first Gym Leader that I ever challenged. I mean… I suppose that I already knew who he was, and that I had seen him doing work in the city before I met him there, but that was my first actual interaction with him. Needless to say, he kicked my ass. Not many children that age are quite ready enough to take on a fully grown Rhydon with only a Persian, Charmander, Weedle, and a Pikachu… However, I did learn that day the reason why, in the Kanto region, they have a statue of a Rhydon at the entrance of every Gym… I ended up respecting him... He was probably the only man that I every truly grew to respect... At the time, he seemed to be the only person who actually took me seriously. He took me seriously, and though he may have defeated me, he didn’t make that battle entirely pointless to either of us. He taught me something new with every action he took, and moved me to become stronger... And I admired him for that... I would, of course return a couple years later to defeat him, but it took a lot of personal growth in order to reach that goal.“ A fond smile crossed his face. “I may have never met my father, but for the longest time, when I tried to imagine what my father could have been like, he was the first thing to come to mind.“

Send me a ▽ and I’ll tell you something about my character that they wouldn’t admit to or don’t know about themselves.

She doesn't like to admit she's fallible. Nothing can hurt you if you're invincible, no one can die, you won't screw up, everything will go according to plan. She likes being in control, and never willingly admits she isn't in control. Of herself, of life, of her surroundings.

Of course, life quite enjoys shoving her flaws and limits of power in her face, and it's a bit of touchyyyyy subject for her lmao
