pokebox | LOCKED TO nullorvoid

[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.]

Even if it is for five years?

[Sorry, couldn't resist.]

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

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.]

...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.

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

[THINGS SHE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT BEFORE]

[NOWI, NO.]

It's not like I'm just going to give them to anyone who asks!

How're you gonna figure out if they'll be a good parent then!?

[THINK OF THE POOR BABIES]

I judge people's souls as a day job, I think I can figure something out!

So are you just gonna be like, [and here she switches to her best impersonation of Ginti, all while puffing out her chest and trying her best to imitate his glare] "You have no right to take this baby Pokémon because you're an awful person and I hate you" or what?

I do not sound anything like -

[MNNNNNGH]

I don't know, maybe? If they're an awful person and I hate them, why not?

You sound exactly like that! Only a deeper voice. I can't really do that.

[MOVING ON]

You don't have to tell them you hate them! That's pretty mean. Unless they're being mean to you first, then I guess you can tell them you hate them. But you can definitely tell them not to take the babies if they'll be an awful parent!

...You know I don't actually hate a lot of people, right?

I think humans are stupid, yeah, but I don't hate them.

That's good! Well, not the humans are stupid part. I mean some of them can be, but not any dumber than anyone else!

...Except the Risen, but they're kind of dead, so.

[What was the point of this again?]

Right - it's good that you don't hate people! I'm really glad to hear that. 'Cause you seem pretty mad a lot. And sometimes you can be really quiet so it seems like you're not really interested in what people have to say.

People who aren't me, of course!

I don't really seem interested in what most people say because I'm not.

[GINTI.]

And I'm not mad - you'd know it if I was. Sometimes things piss me off, but it's not as much as you seem to think.

I guess I've still gotta learn how to read you, then! Don't worry, I'll figure you out someday!

[...]

But still, don't be a jerk to people! At least pretend to listen sometimes!

They don't usually have too much to say. A lot of them say the same thing over and over, and none of it really makes sense but they act like they've got the world figured out.

Like I said, they're stupid.

...Are you talking about the people here or the ones like us, who were pulled into this world? 'Cause the normal people here do get pretty boring. I'm pretty sure they just keep repeating themselves after awhile! You don't even want to know how many times I've been told to buy Pokéballs before going out on a route.

[Nowi wrinkles her nose. She can totally understand why you'd ignore those guys.]

...Well, yeah, the locals are really bad about it. But most other people aren't too much better.

I don't think they're that bad! You never know - you might end up liking them as much as you like me if you give them a chance!

[......]

...You're different, though.

Yeah? What's so different about me?

[...]

Well, besides the fact that I'm a dragon!

[He shrugs again; it's not really something he's going to get into at great length.]

You just are. It doesn't matter why.

[...or at all, apparently.]

...And no amount of pestering's gonna get you to tell me why, huh?

[She's still kind of grinning though; it doesn't really matter what the reason is. She's just happy Ginti likes her.]

Probably not. Don't let it go to your head.

It's kinda hard not to! You don't like most people, but you like me! That's a pretty big accomplishment! I don't know what I did, but at least you like me!
