Come bother a Rival?

WHO: Nikolai and YOU!
WHERE: All over the place, Heropa 002.
WHEN: The day after this, until July 13th
WHAT: Nikolai's either: at home, or out and about, or feeding his pokemon.
WARNINGS: Will be updated as needed, but implied animal death, and a giant vampire-bat in two of the prompts.


1; In the house - Open to housemates and anyone that would have a reason to be there.
[If he's not outside away from the house, then he's inside, either watching TV, studying/reading, eating - or complaining about not being able to find X food thing from his world, though he's probably found plenty of substitutes- or various other things like hogging the couch or sorting though his new clothes or whatever.

Annoy him? Bother him? talk to him? Pester him? The choice is yours.]



2; Out and about - OPEN; all over the Porter Cities.
A)
[What's a better way to cure boredom - and get his mind off a few Things - than to go exploring. Naturally he's exploring everywhere he can, be it Heropa, or one of the other Porter Cities.

He thinks it'll take him days to just find his way around the places and find all the interesting things to do in this Dumb World, but he's not complaining. Part of being a travelling trainer is about seeing new places and all that jazz. Plus, it's something to do other than study and 'volunteer' at the stupid animal shelter, and things to look at he doesn't want to inflict violence upon.

Though some of the things he's finding truly are bizarre by his standards, and he is going to stare at them whenever he finds them.]
Well, that's dumb. Why would they do something like that?

[There are probably many things he could say that about.]

B)
[Of course, exploring has another meaning, too. He's looking for pokemon - even going so far as to look in dumpsters- and he's not finding any.

It all adds up to very frustrated Nikolai.]
Come on! Where are they?


3; Feeding his pokemon - OPEN; all over the Porter Cities.
A)
[Even in this world, he still has to feed them, and at least two of them are easy enough. One he can even go to the butcher's for and get animal blood - the real stuff. He typically visits around closing time, and typically feeds the golbat in an out of the way corner of a park.

Mostly because giant blood-sucking bat, and he knows not everyone is used to watching a golbat feed, even if it is from a container.]
Hmph. Here you go. Drink up.

[The golbat is more than happy too, and Nikolai is more than happy to keep watch while the pokemon gorges itself on blood.]

B)
[Every otherish afternoon when he's not 'volunteering' at the animal shelter he was assigned to, or studying or whatever, he can be found somewhere where there's water; river, lake, bay, beach. Take your pick.

He has a giant crocodile to feed, and he's not shy about letting it hunt when possible. For its part, the croc just seems happy to be in the water - or basking in the sun for a bit while Nikolai keeps a watchful eye out. With no worthy trainers around, he supposes he can let the croc enjoy the sun for a time.]


C)
[It's much, much harder to feed a haunter, but not impossible and Niko's never been shy about what it eats. While most nights he just walks around one of the Porter Cities with the haunter a few feet away from him as it takes a bite out of the life-energy of random animals, every three or so nights, he can be found letting the ghost hunt an animal or two.

It's not a pleasant sight, what with the haunter either chasing the poor critter, or licking it so it won't stop shaking until it dies. Nikolai trails after his pokemon, bag in hand. Like, he's not going to waste the meat thank you very much.

It's useful, and he can feed it to his feraligatr later or something. At the same time, he's not going to allow the ghost to go after humans, and if it does start to do that, well - Nikolai's command is sharp and curt and directed at the ghost and he walks towards it.]
Get back here.

Couldn't sleep, [he says flatly. like this is a new thing, like evey since he almost drowned everyone he's lucky to sleep at all.] Crobat's flyin' around here somewhere, so I thought I'd come out with it.

[a pause.]

There's... a guy. Big guy, dresses up in a bat-suit. Weird as all fuck, but sometimes he gets annoyed if we loiter around too much at night. I don't think he'd give you trouble but he's annoying if he tries to tell ya to leave. Doesn't really get the need to feed pokémon.

[one who is confident in its ability to take care of itself thank u]

Yeah, exactly like one of them. I think it's a superhero thing. [he grins tiredly.] More of'a superzero than anything.
h2no: (aw jeez)

GOOD

[personal profile] h2no 2017-07-14 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I've seen him a few times, so I don't think so.

[there's some more noises from the alley and... crobat! comes gliding out, landing next to archie. it hisses at niko, but doesn't do anything to him. archie reaches out to scritch it on the tum.]

Did ya not get some synthetic stuff for Haunter?
h2no: (thumbz up)

[personal profile] h2no 2017-07-14 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Mhm.

[just an agreement with that look. he feels guilty about niko flinching at the sight of crobat, but has to tell himself it's just because the bat is silent. not because of what he did earlier.

...he knows it's because of what he did earlier.]


Probably, but the people here are ignorant. Ya don't wanna get in trouble because some idiot thought you were killin' rats for fun.
h2no: (excuse me??)

[personal profile] h2no 2017-07-14 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Never underestimate how stupid people can be, kid.

[he returns crobat, seeing as it's obviously done for now.]

I've had several people tellin' me just keepin' them in pokéballs is abuse. I told them if they didn't like it, I'm pretty sure my bat who can cut boulders in half would let me know.
h2no: (aw jeez)

[archie breaks into a grin when haunter returns, noticing the hat immediately. that's fucking adorable.]

Yeah, far too many. Hey, Haunter! How ya feelin'?
h2no: (thumbz up)

[personal profile] h2no 2017-07-14 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Aw! [he's just ignoring niko ok] Ya found a nice lil' hat! It looks great on ya!

[archie could give a shit about the rats it caught. sure, he loves animals and all that, but he understands nature. he'd be upset if they were killed for fun.

he reaches up, taking his bandana off - not the aqua one, fortunately - and holds it out for haunter, smiling.]


You want another one? It matches your colour!
h2no: (NOW I'M UP HERE)

[personal profile] h2no 2017-07-14 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's okay... I won't hurt you.

[it takes a moment, but he remembers niko is there.]

Huh? Nah, it's fine. I got a bunch of stuff back home. Dunno if your Golbat is anythin' like Crobat, but they seem to love watermelons. Guess it's the red, bwahaha!
h2no: (fluff)

[personal profile] h2no 2017-07-15 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[archie shrugs, putting his bandana back on. no point pressing.]

They'll eat anything, ya know. I have a watermelon at home if ya want it.

[at the question, he just snorts.]

It's a city. Pick any alley.
h2no: (biiiiiiitch)

[personal profile] h2no 2017-07-16 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
[archie takes the hat, silently vowing to return it to the haunter and watches niko go.

what a strange child. he'll have to try and find out what his deal is.]
