LOCKED TO nullorvoid

[invigorating]

[Nowi's adapted to Johto far better than most people would have expected. Sure, she's a human now and most of the time that's kind of sad, but she doesn't let it get her down for too long. After all, there's tons of new things to see and do, so she's been kept busy. When she's not looking after vacationers' Pokémon, she's exploring every inch of the town and maybe the routes, though she never strays too far.

After all, she's got a traveling companion to look out for. Speaking of traveling companions...

It's close to midnight and as usual, Nowi's not tired at all. This is probably because she slept in until one in the afternoon today (and boy has she been loving getting to sleep in), but she's getting bored. Her Pokémon are all tired out from playing all day, which leaves her with only one option: locate Ginti.

She knows where he should be, of course. He's like most people and has an actual job that doesn't involve playing with Pokémon all day. So Nowi makes her way to the hotel, Dratini draped around her neck like a scarf. She's wearing a halter top in an eye-searing green color and pink shorts, but thankfully her outfit is much saner than the thing she showed up in. She does have the cape and the massive belts on though.

Nowi pushes the doors in and immediately walks up to the front desk. She knows better than to shout, thankfully, otherwise she would have greeted her best friend that way.]

How much longer are you stuck here, huh? I'm really bored, Ginti...!

[...she's whining before she even checks that he's behind the desk, so hopefully she didn't just waltz right on up to some poor NPC.]

Comments

[invigorating]

It should be, yeah! I mean you could give me the money, but I'd probably spend it all on stuff like, super fast. I'm still not good at that.

[She keeps some of it with her, usually whatever she earns from trainers in the area. It's best to start small, right? Unfortunately she's really bad at hanging onto her money.]

[nullorvoid]

...What do you even spend it on?

[Other than neon clothing.]

[invigorating]

Clothes! And there was a book on dragons, and some more Pokéballs...

[...At least she can't make too much money battling kids??]

[nullorvoid]

[Hey, if it's her money he doesn't care.]

...It could be worse, I guess.

[invigorating]

I wanted to buy that really giant stuffed animal - the big blue one! - but I didn't have enough money.

[Nowi pouts. She needs a giant whale, Ginti!!!!]

[nullorvoid]

What would you even do with something like that? We've got nowhere to put it, and it's not like we're going to be staying here forever.

[WE DON'T NEED TO BE DRAGGING THAT THING ON THE ROUTES.]

[invigorating]

But it's so big! And so fluffy! And I could probably sleep on it!

[...she's pretty sure she's not going to win this.]

[nullorvoid]

Yeah, I'm sure it is. And you're not getting it.

[You tried.]

[invigorating]

Awwww...

[Nowi pouts, but she decides not to pursue it. Ginti definitely knows better than she does when it comes to money.]

But hey, if someone's selling dragon Pokémon eggs can I buy one? I really wanna get all the dragons! I've only got Dratini, but there's a bunch of others! I've got that book back in the room - it shows all of the dragons! I don't know where to get them, but people sell eggs a lot, so one of them has to have these other dragons!

[nullorvoid]

You're gonna keep it to one or two at a time, we don't need nine babies running around or something.

But if someone's selling them, yeah, go ahead.

[invigorating]

I dunno if I could take care of nine babies at once... But that's great! I'll keep an eye out for them!

[SHE'S GONNA GET ALL THE DRAGONS, GINTI]

[nullorvoid]

I'm sure - more friends to play with, right?

[invigorating]

Yeah! I wanna get all the dragons and then a bunch of other Pokémon and it'll be great!

[nullorvoid]

[...]

...At least you don't get bored easily.

[invigorating]

It'd be pretty crazy if I was getting bored already! There's so much to do and see here! And I've got my Pokémon, so even if I got bored with this town or whatever, I'd still have them to play with!

[nullorvoid]

...Yeah, that's what I mean. Most people are pretty bad at entertaining themselves.

[invigorating]

I can be kinda bad at it back home, but that's 'cause nothing was new. But there's so much to explore here, I think I'd be able to entertain myself for at least another thousand years!

[nullorvoid]

[...You know, there's a comment in there to be made about how that won't be a problem because they're humans here, but for once in his miserable life maybe he can just...not be an asshole...]

I see what you mean about most people not thinking like that - most of the humans here throw a fit at the idea of being here for five.

[invigorating]

Gosh, why would you be mad about that? This place is so neat! Pokémon are so much fun and there's all sorts of stuff to see and do...

[Her enthusiasm dies down a little after a moment though.]

...But I guess I can see why people want to go home. I mean, I miss my friends and all. So being here for a long time without 'em isn't something most people have to deal with. Or want to deal with.

[nullorvoid]

Yeah, I guess.

[He shrugs, though.]

I don't know, this place is...okay. Weird, yeah. But it's not too bad once you're used to it, so I don't care if I stay for a while, you know?

[invigorating]

Even if it is for five years?

[Sorry, couldn't resist.]

[nullorvoid]

...That's weird as hell for another reason - that's about as long as I've been an arbiter.

[invigorating]

Huh, really? So you're still really new at your job! I guess it would be really weird to stay here that long. Especially 'cause you can't do your job here. I mean you could do that bar-thing or whatever, but it's not the same.

[...you tried it, Nowi.]

[nullorvoid]

...It's kind of weird to not do it, yeah, but I've been given something else to do here. With the whole...breeding. Thing.

If that's what I'm supposed to do here, I'm going to do it and it's not a big deal.

[invigorating]

So you're going to sell the eggs? Are the Pokémon okay with that? Those are their babies...
