thinkimsuperman((OOC: you know the drill; add/remove tags and create new/delete tags is set to all users. Feel free to add your own character tags after you tag or just add something derpy for kicks. Also, I know he's actually been in Johto for about a month so I have no idea what he was doing in New Bark all that time before he left...))
[Douglas is wandering toward Azalea currently, having just recently gotten through Union cave, and he's about halfway there. He's been traveling for almost twenty-two days, and he looks like it. He's long since finished the lunch Mom packed him and he's got the basket it was in about half filled with berries at this point. There's sweat beading on his brow despite the cool weather and he's trekking along as steadfastly as possible. His shuckle, Sheldon, is currently completely inside his shell and he's nestled among the berries in the basket, asleep or just being antisocial]
So anyway... I think I might have a problem. See... this little guy doesn't like me at all. I named him Sheldon. Figured if he had a name, he might bond with me better. But I can't get him to come outta his shell.
Anybody know what to do about this kinda thing? Does it happen a lot? And I know this might sound kinda weird, but can these things... ya know... talk?

[Video] SOB AND HERE I AM SEVERAL WEEKS LATER with my soul MOSTLY eaten, but off hiatus at least
Date: 2011-12-07 06:50 am (UTC)Riiiight. Because puns make the best names. NOT.
[She's still smiling, though. He wouldn't be Douglas if he didn't give his starter a totally lame name.]
But yeah, y'know, same old, same old... though I guess it's not 'same old' for you. Given how long I've been here in comparison...
Man, I'm gonna need to just... fill you in at some point. Y'know, on everything that's happened. I got some PRE-TTY crazy stories.
[Video] I'm glad you got to keep a small part of your soul! /clings
Date: 2011-12-08 08:46 pm (UTC)Guess I coulda chosen a better name but... it seemed like a good idea at the time. And it's already stuck.
[he smiles]
I always love your crazy stories. We need to see each other at some point and just catch up. Not really sure how to find ya in this huge place, though. It's bigger than I thought.
[Video] A MINISCULE FLECK
Date: 2011-12-08 10:31 pm (UTC)[She rubs her chin.]
Yeah, it seemed that way to me at first too. ... Well, who'm I kidding, still does, really. But it's smaller than you'd think. You'll catch up at some point.
... But in the meantime, might be better to bunker down in a town somewhere.
'Cause if it's anything like last year, the weather's about to get real bad.
[Video] maybe if you put it in water it'll GROW BY 400%
Date: 2011-12-09 06:34 pm (UTC)I hope so. This place is... seems like it'd be pretty easy to get lost. I've been tryin' not to stray off the paths too much 'cause... ya know... it's like suicide for somebody who's not used to this place. [he shakes his head]
[and then a frown]
How bad are we talkin'?
[Video] DO YOU THINK SHOWERING WOULD WORK
Date: 2011-12-10 04:13 am (UTC)Oh yeah... it's easy to get lost in...
[She knows this from experience. It had not been fun... especially since the only things she'd had with her were a broken PokeGear, a wounded Growlithe, and the clothes on her back. And it had been starting to get cold...]
Anyway, pretty damn bad.
I think last year we had... like, six, seven feet of snow where it piled up? For a whole week there was this huge blizzard, and the power went completely out at the hotel I was staying in...
It's like. The kind of weather that kills hobos.
You do NOT wanna be caught out in that once winter really sets in.
[Video] LET'S HOPE SO
Date: 2011-12-12 08:47 pm (UTC)That sounds... wow, it sounds pretty awful.
Maybe I can find someplace to hole up before it gets really bad. I haven't passed any cities for a while.
[Video]
Date: 2011-12-16 04:33 am (UTC)... Where are you, anyway?
[She sounds a little worried. She knows his health isn't the greatest, and the terrain could be treacherous...]
[Video]
Date: 2011-12-16 09:40 pm (UTC)[he notices the worry and gives her a reassuring smile]
Don't worry about me, kiddo. I've dealt with bad weather before. Hasn't done me in yet.
[Video]
Date: 2011-12-19 10:51 pm (UTC)Just try and get to the next town as fast as possible, okay?
[Video]
Date: 2011-12-20 08:12 pm (UTC)I've been campin' before, if that counts.
Don't worry kiddo, I'll get someplace safe as fast as I can.

Date: 2011-12-22 05:06 pm (UTC)[He's been here awhile now-- he's undoubtedly seen how eager the wildlife is to go after anyone traveling alone.]
[She pauses for a moment, tapping her chin thoughtfully.]
... Hm...
Have you caught any of the wild Pokemon yet?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-22 09:04 pm (UTC)Well, sorta. There's this weird bat thing and was swarmin' me in that cave so I sorta just... caught it in one of those ball things to keep it from bitin' my face, but it hates me just as much as Sheldon does.
((OOC: "those ball things".. apparently Douglas will never be Pokemon-literate))
no subject
Date: 2011-12-27 05:00 am (UTC)Yeah, I know those things.
[Heather had never actually spent much time in the caves of Johto, but everybody knew the legendary irritation that was Zubats.]
I think they just hate everybody.
