Characters: hibiki and you!
Setting: 5-06 | a hallway | floor thirty-eight
Format: action!
Summary: Hibiki being generally dumb with his Pokemon.
Warnings: fire, static electricity, fire


[Despite sleeping in here every night, Hibiki realizes he's never formally met his roommates. He doesn't even know who they are. Sighing, he flips over to his stomach and buries his face in his pillow.]

Ughhghghghhh...Typhlooooooooosion..

[And of all things he decided to do today, he decided to stay in bed. GOOD JOB, BOY. He skipped a few phases, already in that teen-stage of laziness. Typhlosion plops his head by the pillow, its breathe ruffling his hair.]

I'm bored. Is this what it's like to be a potato? [That was really deep, how he came up with such a thought is beyond him. Typhlosion just rolls its eyes and lets out a snort at his trainer's melodramatic antics. Honestly. Wait, is that a spark?

Oh crud! Typhlosion, learn to control your fire! Oh crud, oh crud, oh crud--Hibiki shoots right up and slides off his bed, tugging his pillow with him. He holds it at arm's distance and watches it burn. Burn until the entire pillow is reduced to ashes. Great.]

You think one of my roomies will let me "borrow" their pillow?



[There's nothing unusual about a kid and a tall yellow creature just goofing around in the middle of the hallway. Nope, completely normal that all they're doing is just poking? each other. But at a closer glance, it appears that Hibiki is jumping every time Ampharos touches him and all the yellow thing is doing is laughing at him!

The joys of static electricity.

He didn't really mean to do this, while walking down a hallway no less, but Ampharos totally started it and, well, he couldn't take it lying down. So they're strolling down the hall shocking each other and obviously not paying attention to what's in front of them. So Hibiki goes to shock Ampharos back, but something's off.

This doesn't feel like Ampharos.

OOPS.]



[Relaxing is always a good way to pass the time, especially on ginormous couches...on a giant, fluffy, warm dog. So comfortable. He didn't want to move, but if he stayed here any longer he'd fall asleep. And then the day would be gone! Can't have that, what kind of adventurer would he be?

Then again..Arcanine is really warm....Hibiki could feel his eyelids getting heavy, sleep was practically screaming his name. But suddenly--WHAM! Wha?! A cushion? He shoots right up and looks around, nobody! Wait...He slowly turns to look at his Pokemon and he swears Arcanine is grinning. Oooh, luring him into a false sense of security and striking when he least expected it, huh? Well two could play at this game!

Hibiki leaps off and suddenly cushions are flying and the two of them are jumping from armchair to armchair to couch and so on. So watch out if you walk in..!]

Floor 38

[geometry]

[...What even... what even... what.]

[Equius really doesn't have the energy to deal with this right now. So, for a little while after entering Floor 38, he just kind of stands there, watching Hibiki and the Arcanine engage in the respectable act of breaking every single piece of furniture in the entire goddamn room. After a while, though, he's forced to start moving; though he was standing in the corner of the room, a cushion just went flying his way, and he dodged it instinctively. There have been many cushion-shaped objects in his life that brought far more suffering than they ought to have, and he wouldn't be surprised if some of them showed up in the Tower.]

[At least that movement spurred him to say something.]

You're going to break those, you know...

[goldendays]

[Oh hey, it's another person with greyish skin and horns--he wonders if this guy knows Aradia. But that thought quickly exits his mind as a pillow so gently knocks the wind out of him and tumbling towards the ground he goes.

So here he is, staring up at Equius upside down and on the floor. What a sight this must be. And at least Arcanine calmed down a bit, making himself comfortable on an armchair.]

Ahaha, really? I hope I didn't...I dunno how to fix couches! And I hope I didn't hit you or anything..uh..??

[geometry]

You really, uh... can't. Once they're sunken in they're done for.

[Might wanna. Get off of those. Equius glances nervously over at the chair Arcanine is now resting in. Hope you plan to clean up all that fur, Hibiki.]

Oh. Uh. No, it's okay, I'm fine...

[goldendays]

Oh...........I'll leave the couches an "IOU" note in case that happens....[He makes a mental note to check the couches--he doesn't have any money to get new ones!!

He notices the other guy's glance and follows it and oh. He didn't see that nope, if he didn't see it it didn't happen. Fur, what fur?]

I'm Hibiki, by the way. My buddy is...Arcanine..[Don't look at the fur. Don't look. DON'T LOOK.]

[geometry]

A... what?

[Couches don't need IOUs. You alright, bro?]

Uh.

I'm Equius.

[Casually squirming at him. Maid lyfe is worst lyfe...]

hallway

[ghostytrainer]

[John jumps as a small jolt of static electricity hits him. Yeah, this short kid in purple is definitely not an Ampharos, but thanks for playing Hibiki!]

[The boy turns around revealing himself to be wearing a shirt with what is possibly a familiar face and on his belt are six red-and-white balls which should definitely look pretty familiar. Next to his shoulder floats a tiny, white candle with a purple flame and at his feet is a small black-and-red fox, which promptly begins sniffing Hibiki's shoes curiously. Who are you, stranger?]

[While John doesn't exactly seem angry, he definitely doesn't look all that pleased as he rubs his elbow where Hibiki accidentally shocked it.]

Can I hel-- woah an Ampharos! [All traces of annoyance disappear as John catches sight of the yellow...whatever that thing is supposed to be. Sheep-alien. His face brightens up almost immediately. Though he doesn't recognize this kid, he's pretty sure he knows where he's from.] You wouldn't happen to have been brought here from Johto, would you?

[goldendays]

[Oh thank goodness, he knew something was up when he touched something purple and not yellow. He wouldn't know what he would have done if poor Amphy started changing color!

Whoa, whoa, give him a second to regain his bearings. Are his eyes deceiving him, is this another Pokemon trainer? Those are pokeballs and he's pretty sure the guy has a Haunter shirt (he didn't even know people made shirts with Haunters on them, they generally had Pikachu or something)...Oh crud, he was being spoken to!]

U-uh, yeah! I'm from New Bark Town! [He wonders if the other's from Johto too..but he doesn't recognize that floating Pokemon at all.] Are you too?

[ghostytrainer]

Most recently, yes! It's kind of a long story involving universal kidnappings but I probably don't need to explain to you at all, do I? [He laughs, beaming.] Man, what are the odds of four of us being brought here? This is crazy.

[goldendays]

[Kidnappings....] EH, four? There's you, me...[He points to ghost boy and himself; there are two others? ...wait.] ...Dave?

[ghostytrainer]

Yup! Dave is my best friend, actually. And our other friend, Rose, is here too. I don't believe we've met before though. My name is John Egbert.

[wolfbat_captain]

[Tahno had just been walking down the hallway for the sake of stretching his legs. He'd been making an effort to avoid the dangerous floors, and was doing a fairly decent job of it so far. Feeling pretty relaxed, he had let his guard down. That just made it about a million times worse when he felt a jolt of electricity hit his arm.]

Augh!

[He jumped back and held up his hands, thinking of the one thing from his world that could shock him. An Equalist. Equalists were scary to a bender like him, and he could only assume that Amon, the man who could ruin him forever, was close by. But, when he came to his senses a little more, the creature and the boy in front of him sure didn't look like equalists...]

Who the hell are you?

[He sounded awfully snappy, since he was still a little wary of the possibility of the two being equalists. Not to mention he'd never seen an Ampharos before.]

[goldendays]

Whoa, whoops! [Granted he was expecting a reaction like that...but it was still a little shocking (haha shocking). It was just a little static electricity, he didn't mean it! ]

Haha, sorry about that, guess I wasn't looking where I was going! And uh, I'm Hibiki and this is my Pokemon, Ampharos, to answer your question.

[wolfbat_captain]

Yeah, no shit.

[He was kind of used to people not watching where they were going. It happens when you live in a city. And, being a celebrity, sometimes people would 'not watch where they were going' just to bump into him. Still, he doubted that was the case here.]

A poke... what? Lightning bending, I take it?

[Maybe this thing was the original lightning bender? There were plenty of element-bending animals that existed in Tahno's world. That was the only thing he could think this Pokemon was.]
