OTA - Wooloo Shearing Season - Horseshoe 16

Who: Katsuya, his pokemon, and You!
Where: Gym, and Kitchen
When: Late Day 16 (After the train leaves the platform again)
What: It's time to shear Wooloo! ...And deal with a recent power development at the same time.
Warnings: Nah.

[GYM CARRIAGE]

While most people are getting ready to greet new people on the train platform, Katsuya has a veritable laundry list of things he intends to get done- and fast. Technically this could've been done a few days back- but ultimately, he had the sneakiest feeling that...well, he wouldn't really get the space he needed.

So, he keeps dear Amar comfy, gets his things ready, and focuses on other things. Drawing out on the leather he bought, what cut-outs need to be made for what he intends to gift with this bow for Madoka (though he'll be giving her the bow with the klefki, he thinks). Buying the agreed upon klefki. Buying himself his deck of cards, for that matter.

And then, then.

He'll be spotted in the Gym carriage after the train leaves the platform- shears slowly at work on a less than patient Amar.

"Oii oii, hold still dammit..! Y' fidget too much I'm gonna cut somethin' tha' ain't wool!"

"MmmmMMEEEEEH!" is the 'pouting' response, followed by an inky black dragon head poking out of the blond's shadow.

Katsuya is quick to gently pap it back down using his elbow. "Nope- you don' get t' help."

"AAaaAaaouuuuun...."

"Tha's a no! Geeze, take th's long t' show up at all, now I can't ev'n get y' t' sit tight..." he mutters, clipping away.

Boy that's a lot of wool though.

[KITCHEN CARRIAGE]

And now for the fun part.

"Geeze it's a good thing Blue got cookin'..."

Katsuya has taken one of the sinks, it appears, and if one looks inside they can see why. All of the shorn wool from his wooloo- currently looking very different (and jacket-free) at his side alongside Kaseri the ponyta- is now soaking in the sink, filled to the brim with somewhat warm water.

Katsuya himself sort of...pokes at it occasionally, and otherwise just sorts through his cards while sitting on a chair. "Well, least it'll clean up faster th's way I guess."

Mostly he has to soak it at this point...

"True that," She says with a small giggle as she her hand out for it to sniff.

"The best use of the wool is shirts and I've heard it can be spun finer than a merīp's."

"Yeah? Guess th' static caus's issues when it comes off an electr'c type yeah..." he snorts, stretching back on his seat. "Geeze, it's not gonna be fun waitin' f'r all 'f this t' dry though..."

"Meeeeeh." Amar appears to care more about whether or not Eva has snacks.

"Yeah, but once it's off the mon' in question and it's been misted down, it's pretty easy to handle." Eva says with a shrug before peering at the wool.

"I don't know how much you know, but I'm willing to help with wringing it out and then spreading it as thin as we can get it. If we had a Flame Body between us, it'd go faster..."

She has a fire-type but that does not count for much re: this.

"Hohhhhh..." Well, that's sure something then! "Maybe I oughta ask the guys at the farm in Alola more abou' workin' with tha' then. I'll probably be back there instead 'f home if I go through those gates 'n all so..."

It's a near thing to think about- he of course, hasn't considered the fact that he'll probably forget the entire conversation. Whoops!

"Flame body though...hnnn. 'f Ra was here he'd prob'bly count, but..."

He's not, and frankly, he's worried about the idea of- ...wait.

"Ohhhhhh...Red-Eyes might be close 'nough though..! ...I mean he's no pokemon but..."

"You wouldn't remember your time here." It's a blank reminder without emotion.

There's more emotion to her question. "Ra? Red-Eyes?"

"Uhhh...righ'..." Suffice to say, the presentation of the reminder gives him a bit of a chill. Focusing on answering the other matter seems better.

"Ra's uh...kind of one of th' gods from my own place- someone tried summonin' their own take on 'm t' Alola though. Not great, tha's a differen' world's gods and all tha', y'know? So the ones in Alola- th' Tapus, an' Mew-Two even, they showed up an said some pokemon from th' area offered t' play host to the ones from mine, so we could fight 'm off!" It's a bit of a mess, but it seems the gist is that a pokemon in Alola is now playing host to a proper god, per the permission of the Tapus and Mew-Two.

"Anyway, Ra's a pidgey now I guess. ...Sometimes a pidgeot? Set 'mself on fire though, so that's...prob'bly close 'nough righ'?" Maybe. Possibly.

Probably not.

"Red Eyes though..." A sneaky smile comes on Katsuya's face, and for good reason- the shadow at his feet seems to bubble, and a curious crooning sound comes from it. "Well, y' can see for yourself if y' want..~"

Sorry, she's a bit bitter about it given how many friends she's lost.

She listens with a thoughtful look - hearing about the gods of other faiths will never not be fascinating to Eva, but all of that goes out the window as soon as he mentions 'Mewtwo'.

Mostly because she's gone pale. White as a sheet with a thousand-metre stare.

"Mewtwo... Even in that world...?"

Well, that takes the winds out of his sails.

"Nyhhh...I'm gonna...take a guess tha' th' mood around tha' guy 's...differen' between where you an' I came from, pokemon-wise..." Katsuya eventually says, rubbing his head. The curious shadow dragon can wait. And will, he'll nudge it with his shoe if he's got to.

"...Look, Eva...b'fore y' say anythin', don' forget- stuff in th' Pokemon World I came out from, 's like...Nice. Y'know? Super nice, like 'living cartoon' nice," he reminds the other, just to be safe. "So...I mean, whatever yer afraid might be...it prob'bly isn't, alrigh'?"

Whatever tragedy involved mewtwo for her, it probably isn't the case for the Alolan one. Or at least, he's pretty sure of it. "...Don' worry about it, ok?"

"Y-yeah."

He's right. He has to be right, if only because the idea that, somewhere out there in the multiverse, there's another Giovanni -another 'Team Rocket'- with the resources and manpower and sheer amorality and willingness to play god no matter the cost sickens her.

Mirages of the Four on an End-Start Twin Moon, she has to believe that what Jounouchi says is Truth.

The alternative is not something another world should ever face.

"Sorry. I-" An exhale and then she gives a rueful smile. "My world is too, but that one does seem more like a cartoon." compared to hears anyway. "Means there's at least one world out there the species has happy existence at least. Not that ours don't, but- yeah the mood is... different."

He laughs- if he laughs after all, maybe that can help in itself right? Warm, friendly, and re-assuring. "Hah! Righ'! I guess I said tha' weird, 'nice' I mean...obviously yer home would be nice in it's own way, I guess I meant more...compared t' mine? If y' put the pokemon world I came outta next to the world I called home..." He trails off, shaking his head. The matter of why his home-world isn't as nice as 'his' version of the pokemon-world isn't really important.

"Anyway, jus' lookin' at Kaseri an' Amar really shows off th' cartoon bit if y' ask me," he laughs, still very amused by how 'plush toy' his pokemon seem in comparison to Eva's very much 'real' ones. "But seriously, don' worry. When he showed up there, he seemed plenty fine w'th life. I think he even got a bit of a laugh outta spookin' me an' Kaiba!" He blinks. "Er. The other one, anyway.

"True that, and one day we should sit down and compare notes about our pokemon worlds."

As curious as she is about Jonouchi's originating world, something in the way he trails off prevents her from asking. For now, at least; mostly because there's something else to grab onto.

Namely: "Ok, no lie, I'd pay to see Seto-kun -any version- spooked."

"Hah! Tell me abou' it- hopefully it won' be as much 'f a mess as sortin' out stuff b'tween me an' Kaiba an' the others was," he whistles, shaking his head. Then again, it's already something that would be less of a mess just by virtue of comparing between two people instead of four.

Still, taking notes on alternate timelines is such a mess!

"Hehehehe...I bet I know a few ways t' make tha' happen..~" Need to see Kaiba spooked? He can totally think of something. Totally.

"I don't think it would be... And I'd say we just have to find time to do it, but we can also make time, too," Eva says with a laugh and a headshake, if only because it's true. ~~Fash forward to a month later or so, opps...~~

That said, she does cock her head, sly grin curling its way across her face. "Do tell."

"Well, I'd have t' think abou' it more seriously t' really get the best r'sponse but..." Well, as much as he'd have to give it more thought on what would be the best way to spook Kaiba, he's pretty sure he has good guesses.

"Bet y' seein' me say somethin' smart about somethin' he didn't know would do it~"

Kaiba being outdone by him seems to be a pretty solid guess, as far as Katsuya can tell.

She doesn't know Jounouch that well, yet, so there's a slight headtilt.

"It would? Let me guess, he thinks you as a dumb as a rock?"

"Hah! Yeah, pr'tty much! I mean, I don't have th' best grades sure, but tha's just one kind 'f smart, y'know? Though t' be fair, I think he's figurin' tha' out..."

Much as Kaiba's initial impression has been Katsuya's crummy grades and otherwise hectic panic-responses in stressful situations, he's also seen the blond do a bit more as of late...so hopefully that means a better rep right?

Right??

"Anyway, he def'nitely doesn' think I could come up w'th anythin' tha' sounds smart," he snorts. After all- Katsuya sounding smart? The world must be ending.

"What's grades have to do with how smart you are?" Says the one who was one of the top students in her class, though she does make a mental note to ask Seto that same question at some point.

After all, she knew fair and well the best kind of smart was the kind that kept one alive. She smirks a bit. "Then that's his loss for underestimating you, isn't it?"

"Heh! See there y' go, tha's th' idea!" he laughs, grinning. Much as that's the point though, who knows- this Kaiba may well (and probably does) have the idea already. "One day I'll jus' have t' make sure to prove things though- beat 'm in his own game!"

Though hopefully he won't beat him at the wrong time...he can't help but think to the 'losing streak' Kaiba was down in the dumps about, and how the one thing that broke him out was...well. Winning against himself.

What a fragile state of mind...

"Hmm. I think you will; it's just a matter of practice and being confident that whatever you do is the right choice."

Which, honestly, can apply to anything, really. Not just trying to beat Kaiba in his own game.

"Heh! Couldn' have said it better myself!"

Tere's a small laugh, before: "Anyway, I think I'll let you get back to work on that wool, yeah?"

"Aaaaah, geeze, yeah I should focus..." Well, as it is, he grins. "See y' later then, alrigh'?"

"Yeah. Take care and have fun."
