This post can be used to thread with or get in contact with Emil at any point when he doesn't have a post up! Just comment here (please use the format [Action, June 24th], [Voice, March 5th], etc. to make it clear when the thread is taking place and what type of thread it is) for a thread with him; if it's a continuation of another thread or post, please link that so I remember the context of the thread.

GO NUTS.

You don't think? [ Oh? ] Is there a type? He could've picked it up here!

[knightofratatosk]

I don't know if there's really a type or it's just how I think of things, but I've always pictured staff users as being, I don't know... graceful and elegant, I guess. Does that make any sense?

[pokeboy]

[ Graceful and elegant? Red blinks, thinking about that... and he looks down at himself, before bringing out his arms, turning slightly. ]

What do you think? Am I graceful and elegant? [ He looks between everyone -- what do you two think down there, Pikachu and Hachi? ] Huh?

[knightofratatosk]

[Hachi just sort of looks at Red for a moment... and then tilts his head, as if saying "Why are you asking me?"

Emil, meanwhile, just watches him turn, then smiles a bit.]

I could see it! I can definitely picture you using a staff rather than a sword. Actually, I'm not sure I can imagine you using a sword at all.

[pokeboy]

[ Wow, Hachi!!! Pikachu just makes a mocking sound. Like, yeah yeah, ok Red. ]

Me neither. I bet they're useful, but I don't like the look of them... [ His smile is awkward, trying to figure out how to explain it.

But hey, instead- ] What about you? Don't you fight with companions like a trainer? You have Sial!

[knightofratatosk]

[See, even Pikachu agrees with him, don't you "Wow Hachi" him. Not that Hachi really did anything beyond look confused, but it's the principle of the thing.]

Huh? Yeah, Sial and my other monsters fight alongside me in battles back in my world, but I don't really tell them what to do. At least, not most of the time. They usually just fight on their own.

[pokeboy]

Pokémon can make their own decisions in battle too, but I know what you mean. [ Especially if his world was anything like Caius's. ] We leave the fighting to the pokémon.

[ He couldn't imagine people fighting pokémon, not even with training. But he shakes his head, chuckling slightly. ]

But this is a weird chat to have outside a person's doorway. We should probably get going.

[knightofratatosk]

Do you want to come inside for some tea or something? I mean, you came all this way just to find out that Caius went home... I feel bad just having you go home without doing anything. It seems like kind of a waste.

[Besides, the house is empty now, so the company is definitely appreciated.]

[pokeboy]

It wasn't a waste, I got to talk to you and Hachi! [ Other than the unfortunate(?) news, that was nice in Red's opinion. ] But sure, we could, if you want to? I don't want to interrupt you or anything.

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil just smiles and shakes his head.]

You're not interrupting at all. I wasn't really doing anything that could be interrupted, anyway. Things are kind of quiet with just me and the animals...

[Naturally, Hachi barks to protest this.]

[pokeboy]

Yeah, I agree Hachi! Who's he calling quiet?

[ Red laughs, bending down to ruffle the little doggy's head before standing back up again. ]

Okay, we haven't anything to do. We just train all day anyway.

[knightofratatosk]

[Hachi barks again and wags his tail, pleased that at least Red is agreeing with him-- mostly because the "not quiet" part is almost entirely his fault.]

That's great! I mean, it's not great that you don't have anything to do, but you know what I mean. Come on inside and I can start boiling some water.

[pokeboy]

Alright. [ Hey hey, they'll follow the leaders! ] Why don't you tell me what you've been up to? I don't think I know what you do in Luceti usually.

[knightofratatosk]

What I do?

[He pauses for a moment, rubbing at the back of his head sheepishly.]

A lot of things, actually. I go to some of the classes at the school, I work at the tea shop, and I help out wherever else I'm needed. It ends up being kind of a weird schedule sometimes-- some days I'm really busy, and then other days I'm not busy at all.

[pokeboy]

Huh, so you work at a tea shop and you're inviting me in for tea? Do you really like tea? [ Heheh. ]

What're the school classes like?

[knightofratatosk]

Actually... I didn't care for it all that much until I started working there. I used to like hot chocolate better.

[He continues on into the kitchen, indicating that Red should follow him.]

The classes? [This actually causes him to have to think for a moment. How does one describe school classes?] They're just regular classes, I guess. I wouldn't say there's anything special about them, except maybe World Sharing.

[pokeboy]

[ The boy does follow, Pikachu keeping on ground level. He might as well try teasing Hachi while he's here... ]

World Sharing? Do you sit there talking about your worlds? [ Sounds like a pretty straight-forward name. ]

But what classes do you take? I don't know what classes they have there. I try going to the First Aid classes now and then when I've gone the time, [ It was nice to know how to properly tend to wounds without magic. ] but that's at the battle dome.
