PUZZLES TO BE SOLVED

Dungeons deep and skies bright blue. .
Forests green and mountains high. .
Oceans blue and fires burning. .
We swear to solve the puzzles yearning

__________________________________________________________

It's years before the idea of exploration guilds has even popped into anybody's mind. Yet there are still explorers abound. Crimes still exist, and the typical justice system isn't always the best one, so of course help from others is neccesary. But in order to be an explorer at this time, you can't simply join a guild, get a badge, and be done with it. For one to dare call themselves an explorer, they must do more than this. There's crime that needs justice, stolen treasures that need returning, and puzzles to be solved, and there's much more than one of each. Criminals, cocky from the lack of help what's considered the official justice system aren't entirely as common, but they're definitely far worse than the mere pick-pocketings in the future. This is the golden age of the 'explorers', where anyone Poke'mon that dares call themselves anything of the sort actually fits such a description. And at the same time it's the golden age of crimes; they'll never be as bad as they are now, and with such a rivaling mixture, there's bound to be something interesting going on.

THE FOREST
There are, of course, more than one actual forest, but they all posses a certain kind of resemblance to each other. Each seems rather untainted by those in whom inhabit it, and suprisingly enough what is untainted creates quite the fascinating results. The woods all carry an almost fictional sense to them, as if it's coming right out of a fairy tale. Various berries, apples, and other delictables can be found in their reaches. There's even talk about hidden chambers!

CALCIFER MOUNTAINS
The Calcifer Mountains are actually the only mountains in the area, however they stretch far and wide. These mountains are most famous for their hot springs, which are quite relaxing. There is said to be a waterfall that falls over the side of the mountain which leads into a hidden cave, however the discovery was never yet confirmed. The Calcifer Mountains aren't only there for hotsprings and waterfall caves, however. There are at least two small volcanoes surrounding or invading its perimeter.

KRABBY BEACH
Named after the Krabby that so often visit the rocks in order to blow bubbles, Krabby Beach is one of the slightly more popular locations. Although the water isn't nearly as comforting as Calcifer Mountain's is, it's still worth the visit. The bubbles the Krabby blow at sunset are, no matter how many times you might look at them, a simply wonderous site. The shells there are simply brilliant (If you know how to look for them), too.

ORADON TOWN
Eventually to be re-named 'Treasure Town', Oradon Town is the only place that has any resemblance to what humans might build. Or perhaps it's the place with the most things similiar to what a human might build, anyway. Likely one of the most famous kick-back-and-relax-for-a-moment places in the general area, Oradon Town recieves a suprising ammount of visiting explorers. It eventually will hold on of the most popularized Exploration Guilds.

RULES

These are pretty basic rules, but since everything kind of needs rules, I'll be listing the 'typical' stuff and the more 'complex' things below.

1. Hate the character, not the player. It's fine if your characters are ones to bicker back and forth, just try not to hate the roleplayer of a character because of that. They're just roleplaying a character they made, they aren't really said character.

2. Do not Powerplay/Godmod Because this is Poke'mon, I imagine that accidental godmodding will likely be far more typical. Try to limit this and remember that you can't win every fight you get into.

3. Be active The Off-Topic roleplay section has been moving terribly slow lately, but I'd appreciate it if you could post once every week without delay. If you can't follow that up, just tell me (or don't, though being told would be prefferable!) and I'll add you onto a hiatus/hold list. Hiatus being a list where you haven't posted once in a week, hold being where it's more than a week.

4. Don't dwaddle By 'don't dwaddle' I mean try to go at a slightly fast pace. In the past, other versions have sat around and done one mission for a whole twenty pages, but don't be shy to make things happen when you're messing around! Of course, be cautious not to make any entire-plot-affecting changes in your post. Keep it all to the general area of what's going on, and try not to be walking around in one section for too long. By the way, please type 'I'm so fabulous that I'm duct-taped to a wall' somewhere in your application if you've read through these rules.

5. Please keep blood/cussing mild Basically saying, within the roleplay I don't mind there being some blood, or some cussing. But nothing other than 'hell and damn' for the cussing part, and keep your descriptions of flesh injuries pretty low. Some people don't like to see it, and seeing that Poke'mon is actually a rather 'playful' sort of thing, I don't think a lot of people joining would be expecting its existance.

CHARACTER LIST 1

DOCTOR BALLARD'S CHARACTERS

(http://24.media.tumblr.com/8cabb676e7674354a5e0ab399614400b/tumblr_mr51pchKel1su101so1_400.jpg)
Name - Calcifer 'Cal'
Species - Buizel
Level - Thirty-four
Age - Twenty-one
Personality- Calcifer is actually a rather arrogant kind of Pokemon. Most of this is gained by praise, as surprising as it might be. Being called 'clever' long enough is what made him think he was always right, and admittedly he is clever whenever he wants to be. Often times he'll even go to a point where he teases others about how idiotic they might be in comparison of him. He's even just plan rude at times, likely picked up by the idea he had in his head that he was capable of doing whatever he wanted, and no matter what it was always right. Nevertheless he is admittedly clever, and whenever he actually chooses to, Calcifer is quite brilliant when it comes to making decisions or creating tactics. Alongside two rather troublesome personality traits, Calcifer is, quite unfortunately considering the trouble it gets him into, terribly sassy. If making up come-backs and sassing others were a competition of some sort, he'd be in first place through and through. As long as you're not the one being sassed, though, it's usually a rather amusing sight to see. Though, even with such negative traits Calcifer does have about one good thing about himself- he's undeniably loyal. Of course you can't just ask for such loyalty, you have to earn yourself a spot in the circle of closely-knitted friends he makes. Considering he's an explorer, however, Calcifer is terribly unequal when it comes to mental strength and physical strength. It's not entirely easy, being capable to go treasure-hunting or criminal-tracking, and he actually has trouble doing the first, especially the later of the two. Nevertheless he still might be considered an important addition to any team, no matter how annoying and sick one might grow of his shenanigans.
History - Calcifer grew up on the Calcifer Mountains, switching between the base of the Volcanoes during the winters and late autumns, and near the hot springs during the spring, summer, and early autumn. His name makes this terribly obvious, and he actually quite despises it. It's not all that right to be named after such a large place that you actually grew up in, after-all. Nevertheless any relatives were rather supportive of him, but Calcifer merely shut everything they said out- other than compliments telling him he was 'clever'. The buizel had always had a fascination in the rare numbers of explorers, however, and currently he aims to be.
Occupation - He calls himself an explorer, however he hasn't quite established a team of any sort. As of now he seems to mainly spend his time in Oradon Town; either studying with himself or sassing the residents. He's known as 'Cal' by everyone there, and despite such a short amount of time spent there, he's rather well-known.
Extra
-Calcifer absolutely despises his name. Being named after a mountain isn't what he calls ideal, and so goes by the simple and unfortunately unsophisticated nickname 'Cal'.
- Even though he's a buizel and one might expect him to be used to water of any sort, Calcifer is ridiculously reluctant about getting into water that he doesn't categorise as 'comfortable'. Basically saying, anything ten degrees below the typical temperature of the Calcifer Mountains hot spring's water.

Name - Alastor
Species - Noctowl
Level - Ninety-Eight
Age - Seventy-three
History - Alastor was one of the more 'popular' explorers back in his day, and left quite the mark on anyone that might've remembered him. Unlike some explorers, he did not pair up with a single partner, and on the contrary flew entirely solo, quiet literally. Most famous for his discovery of the Ice Chamber, hidden high in Calcifer Mountain's peaks, Alastor was eventually forced to stop with his exploring due to the loss of his left wing. Currently he spends his time in Oradon Town, intending on reading his life away. Though occasionally he will take interest in the 'Calcifer Callers', a group created with the intents on saving Poke'mon trapped somewhere within the harsh and ever-changing conditions of the Mountains. While he can't quite assist them on the literal field, he does a little in order to help Mabel.

Occupation - The town elder as well as 'mayor' of Oradon Town. He's not quite literally mayor, but when it comes to certain town decisions, especially important one, it's he who's consulted, and usually him with the final word.

SOARING'S CHARACTERS

(http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md6b7vKq9a1qi8ukfo1_500.png)

Who Are You? - Mabel

Who's That Pokemon? - Mareep: The Wool Pokemon

Level - 23 (What hasn't Mabel evolved? Look in her history!)

Age - 17

Personality - Mabel has her mind and heart set into the right place and always had a good sense of justice and wanting of it but her actions never truly can settle for this claim. Typically though, she can be described a kindred spirit that would usually greet about that comes her way regardless of who it is but she is certainly not the type to take the initiative on forming conversations out of the blue and forming bonds unless there is something in it for her, mission, or for the group. Seeing as "bonding" is a very rare thing for her to do, expect her team mates to be especially close to her and those that do initiate and bring forth interest to her will as well find a friend.

Her ambition can lead her to be easily bribed, however, as she will take rogue advice and travel through unmarked paths to get to a new location that can endanger her team at times. It has happened several times but by the look of it, she has been placed down on the spot for it. It does bother her that no one can honestly going into new waters for a new way to do things. Along with that, another negative trait is how she might leap before she thinks, both figuratively and literally, as she can be off speaking to someone and moving at the same time or bluntly listing her opinion that'll get her easily sassed at.

Oddly enough, the wool Pokemon is not easily bothered or finds much needed effort to put into bickering as she does have a good sense of having a thick skin (no pun intended.) The only things that may bother her is having her actions being put against her as honestly, she believes she is doing what is right. And if she believes she is so right and no one believes her, she will become an independent force that goes off by herself into the mountains to find a person.

History - Born at the base of the Calcifer Mountains, her lovely family consisted of three older brothers and one older sister (though, the oldest out of them all was the sister.) They always stayed in the same location and watched other families move about as several could not endure the extreme climate changes but thanks to the wool and shedding, Mabel's family was able to go through with it. Sadly, Mabel was always constantly challenged as a little as she could remember to climb up the mountain when it was against her parent's rules but she did so anyway to prove them all wrong. She did, she eventually did! Though, her family constantly bickered and complained to her that such actions were reckless and eventually, she decided it was best to make a living for herself and prove to them that going against the odds could do wondrous things.

Currently, she is living in the Oradon village and from there she has been constantly training and even started an independent search to find missing members of Calicifer Mountain but as it was only herself, business didn't strive forth. Even worse, if she did evolve, she fears that she would lose the ability to jump about the small rocky ledges (and thus loses her dream.) She eventually resorted to visiting her family more often, and with them bickering about, it was truly a nightmare. Though, one day, she was recruited to the Calcifer Callers as her actions didn't go unnoticed. And this is where our little Mabel is now, the scout for the Calcifer Callers!

Occupation - Currently, the sheep-like Pokemon is currently working as part of a rescue team (not dungeon styled, mind you) to find others lost in the Calicifer Mountains. She is currently stationed in Oradon town that serves as a hub to gather supplies and get notifications/reports of missing Pokemon that have gone missing in the mountains. Specifically, Mabel acts as the "scout" that hops ahead of the team to find those missing or to see if there is safe passage.

Extra -
*The search squad is known as the "Calicifer Callers" and anyone can make an application to have their characters on that team. They do not function as a guild, however! The leader position is currently opened as Mabel is too inexperienced and young to be it.

*Mabel has very bad allergies if coming into contact with pollen and if she sneezes, bolts will spark out of her, making her wool frizz but also shock anyone standing next to her. Take great caution with her!

*She has a home at the base of the Calicifer Mountains where her family currently lives. She does rarely visit them, though. Said home can be used a hub for lucky travelers as Mabel's family is generous to keep their roof full for those wishing to dare embark on a quest through the mountains. (Do not overstay your welcome, though!)

TEMPORAL'S CHARACTERS

(http://i43BannedImageSite/2gw6ihw.png)

Name - Kagura

Species - Mawile, the Deciever Pokemon

Level - 19

Age - 13

Personality - At first glance, Kagura is very bossy, showing nothing but aggression toward most Pokemon and expecting them to know who she is and what to do. She's definitely sassy, which is apparent to just about anyone who stumbles into her path. This Steel-type is also a little easy to anger, seeing as she will blow up on anyone if they make just one mistake, and assumes everyone should listen to her when she talks or gives out orders. All in all, she is more verbally aggressive than physically, arriving to the conclusion that her bark is worse than her bite.

Once her heart is set on something, it becomes very challenging to get her mind off of it. She has a great ambition to be the best explorer she could possibly be, and refuses to charge blindly into dangerous missions and such and will often plan out each exploit carefully before following them, though tends to overlook the smallest and at most times, the most important details.

However, Kagura's capable of being nice in her own unique ways. Despite her snappy, impudent attitude, she cares deeply for others and shows this often times by yelling at those who get themselves injured or risk their lives. She also likes helping out other Pokemon, though sometimes acts as if its a big deal and that the one who needs assistance should know what to do and how to do it. She just has a hard time trying to express and convey her kindness, and thus is more on the aggressive side than anything.

History - Kagura was born and raised near the summit of Calcifer Mountains in a very small family. She had been an only child, therefore she never understood the feeling of having brothers or sisters, however kept herself at play with the other wild Pokemon in the rolling hills of the mountains. She'd always dreamed of being a popular explorer, much unlike her childhood friend, who was a skittish Kricketot by the name of Aiden. They would always goof off together, with the sassy Mawile often dragging the small bug Pokemon along with her on little, childish expeditions and such, but even with Kagura taking leadership, they got along very well and were bound together by friendship. However, as she grew older, Kagura began to desire for more than just dreaming to be a famous explorer, but to actually be one. After a while, she decided it was time to make her ambition reality, to become the youngest and greatest explorer in the land.

After convincing her parents, she set out for the haven for tourists known as Oradon Town, and is now living there in order to hone her exploration skills. She still visits her parents back up in the peaks of Calcifer Mountains, however due to the rather long voyage does not return to her homeland too often to say the fond 'hello'.

Occupation - Currently thriving in Oradon Town, Kagura is testing and sharpening her skills so she can be the best explorer there could ever be, as she had become too distracted with family and friends back at home to train. She cannot yet call herself an explorer, however, and instead refers to herself as 'the great explorer in the making'.

Extra -
- Kagura has a bad habit of flipping her 'hair', which is actually the bang-like designs that lead to the gigantic mouth on the back of her head, as an addition to her personality.

- She has a bell accessory at the top of her head with two large, pinkish-yellow leaves attached to the end.

- Although the large, gaping mouth at the back of her head is more often used by Mawile to capture and eat prey, Kagura prefers to stick to eating berries and such. This may be because of family beliefs or something similar.

- Her name may possibly be based off of the name for the ancient Shinto music and dance.

Currently, she is living in the Oradon village and from there she has been constantly training and even started an independent search to find missing members of Calicifer Mountain but as it was only herself, business didn't strive forth. Even worse, if she did evolve, she fears that she would lose the ability to jump about the small rocky ledges (and thus loses her dream.) She eventually resorted to visiting her family more often, and with them bickering about, it was truly a nightmare. Though, one day, she was recruited to the Calcifer Callers as her actions didn't go unnoticed. And this is where our little Mabel is now, the scout for the Calcifer Callers! [/color] [u][b][size=13pt]O[/size]ccupation[/b][/u] -[color=#ABDCF5] Currently, the sheep-like Pokemon is currently working as part of a rescue team (not dungeon styled, mind you) to find others lost in the Calicifer Mountains. She is currently stationed in Oradon town that serves as a hub to gather supplies and get notifications/reports of missing Pokemon that have gone missing in the mountains. Specifically, Mabel acts as the "scout" that hops ahead of the team to find those missing or to see if there is safe passage.[/color] [u][b][size=13pt]E[/size]xtra [/b][/u]-[/color] [color=#ABDCF5]*The search squad is known as the "Calicifer Callers" and anyone can make an application to have their characters on that team.

[/color] [color=#ABDCF5]*Mabel has very bad allergies if coming into contact with pollen and if she sneezes, bolts will spark out of her, making her wool frizz but also shock anyone standing next to her. Take great caution with her! *She has a home at the base of the Calicifer Mountains where her family currently lives. She does rarely visit them, though. Said home can be used a hub for lucky travelers as Mabel's family is generous to keep their roof full for those wishing to dare embark on a quest through the mountains.

-Accepted!

I'll add Mabel to the list immediately, Soaring. I really do like her character design!

Name - Kagura

Species - Mawile, the Deciever Pokemon

Level - 19

Age - 13

Personality - At first glance, Kagura is very bossy, showing nothing but aggression toward most Pokemon and expecting them to know who she is and what to do. She's definitely sassy, which is apparent to just about anyone who stumbles into her path. This Steel-type is also a little easy to anger, seeing as she will blow up on anyone if they make just one mistake, and assumes everyone should listen to her when she talks or gives out orders. All in all, she is more verbally aggressive than physically, arriving to the conclusion that her bark is worse than her bite.

Once her heart is set on something, it becomes very challenging to get her mind off of it. She has a great ambition to be the best explorer she could possibly be, and refuses to charge blindly into dangerous missions and such and will often plan out each exploit carefully before following them, though tends to overlook the smallest and at most times, the most important details.

However, Kagura's capable of being nice in her own unique ways. Despite her snappy, impudent attitude, she cares deeply for others and shows this often times by yelling at those who get themselves injured or risk their lives. She also likes helping out other Pokemon, though sometimes acts as if its a big deal and that the one who needs assistance should know what to do and how to do it. She just has a hard time trying to express and convey her kindness, and thus is more on the aggressive side than anything.

History - Kagura was born and raised near the summit of Calcifer Mountains in a very small family. She had been an only child, therefore she never understood the feeling of having brothers or sisters, however kept herself at play with the other wild Pokemon in the rolling hills of the mountains. She'd always dreamed of being a popular explorer, much unlike her childhood friend, who was a skittish Kricketot by the name of Aiden. They would always goof off together, with the sassy Mawile often dragging the small bug Pokemon along with her on little, childish expeditions and such, but even with Kagura taking leadership, they got along very well and were bound together by friendship. However, as she grew older, Kagura began to desire for more than just dreaming to be a famous explorer, but to actually be one. After a while, she decided it was time to make her ambition reality, to become the youngest and greatest explorer in the land.

After convincing her parents, she set out for the haven for tourists known as Oradon Town, and is now living there in order to hone her exploration skills. She still visits her parents back up in the peaks of Calcifer Mountains, however due to the rather long voyage does not return to her homeland too often to say the fond 'hello'.

Occupation - Currently thriving in Oradon Town, Kagura is testing and sharpening her skills so she can be the best explorer there could ever be, as she had become too distracted with family and friends back at home to train. She cannot yet call herself an explorer, however, and instead refers to herself as 'the great explorer in the making'.

Extra -
- Kagura has a bad habit of flipping her 'hair', which is actually the bang-like designs that lead to the gigantic mouth on the back of her head, as an addition to her personality.

- She has a bell accessory at the top of her head with two large, pinkish-yellow leaves attached to the end.

- Although the large, gaping mouth at the back of her head is more often used by Mawile to capture and eat prey, Kagura prefers to stick to eating berries and such. This may be because of family beliefs or something similar.

- Her name may possibly be based off of the name for the ancient Shinto music and dance.

*crawls up from the dead*
Sorry for the delayed application, would've posted it yesterday but I didn't have my character fully thought out. I felt the need to make a sassy character, so... >w>;

Also, since I couldn't really find any Mawile photos that would be suitable for her, I decided to doodle my own, so I hope that counts. I don't have any deviantART accounts or anything to link it to. ;w;

Art and character is copyrighted to myself~

Drawing your own picture is perfectly fine, and I really like it by the way! I like the style huehue

But now then, onto business.

Accepted!

((~~Late post is late~~

Aye, thank you for accepting me! owo
And aw shucks, thank ya. >w>;;

Anyway, when do you think we should start; should we wait to see if we can lure in a few more members, or just begin roleplaying?))

(We can begin roleplaying right now, if you want. I think we waited long enough? Maybe if we start up again we might attract members!
I'll start us off by tomorrow unless anyone wants to make the first post by today.

CALCIFER

It was about noon in Oradon, the sun now high over head of the small town; beating down on all below in a gentle manner. The white, fluffy clouds dappling the sky seemed to calm it's nerves, making its rays much less effective. Calcifer, on the other hand, was very much effected by the currently gentle sun. Perhaps it was because the buizel was almost constantly in a bad mood, of course, but today he was especially bothered by it all.
Studying was what he was doing at the moment, and the boredom in that didn't help with his over-all attitude towards everything, either. It was studying for exploration; how to track certain things, figuring out if a job was worth taking or not, all of that stuff that shouldn't even be taken into consideration by him as it was. Calcifer was one to tell himself he knew about all that anyway, too; so it was more or less entirely illogical for him to even posses a guildbook such as this. Perhaps the manner in which he had decided to pick out his location for this 'studying' was not the best, either. He was literally right on the side of the main walk-way through Oradon town, half on it, and the water type Pokemon hadn't even bothered with sitting down. It was most unusual, too. A buizel standing on the sides of Oradon Town, paying no attention to the nearby shops or stands; reading a book and ever-so-slowly stepping his way forward. Surely Calcifer would rather be messing around in the water right now, after all?

ALASTOR

The retired, disabled, and currently old Noctowl was enjoying himself on the bright sunny day. Of course he did much prefer the night over the day, but Alastor didn't mind it all too much. Perhaps out of his lack of 'doing things' (he couldn't find enough persons or even things to mess around with anymore; they were growing astoundingly rare, and so were the visiting explorers in their numbers!), he had decided to to give Mabel a little bit of a visit. Occasionally he did affiliate himself with the 'Calcifer Callers', usually during times such as this when it was most certainly beautiful, but there wasn't much to do. Alastor always did enjoy the ever-so-brief conversations held with the Mareep, even if they had not grown even barely acquainted because of short exchanges of words.
Despite his intentions, Alastor hadn't even barely opened his big, red eyes that didn't quite like the sun, but were accepting of it, nonetheless. Nevertheless even get off of one the damned trees he had decided to sit in through the night and onto around noon. Alastor was at least considering waking up at the moment, though. Which was better than he sleeping through half the day and all the night- or that reversed around.
With a swift movement of his only remaining wing, a brief blinking of crimson eyes, and the removal of talons dug into the tree bark below, the owl-like creature was more than prepared to take flight to his destination. If only his old memory could remember precisely where that was at the moment, though. He was still practically half-asleep (quite unfortunately), so of course his old man mind wasn't yet working all that well. Oh well, Alastor could find his own way soon enough. Hopefully Mabel would be present and not hopping around on 'scouting duties'.

(sorry for the pathetic starters? never was good at them but i wanted to type things for other characters to react to rather than awkwardly scooting towards any sort of 'action' that might go on like i tend to do)

(I was attracted by puzzles.
....I will think about this.....>3)

Mabel

The morrow wasn't certainly the best time to ever come into contact with the wool Pokemon as at most, her attitude after just rousing from her nest from her slumber wasn't adequate, to say the least. Hazily, her brown eyes scanned through the town as she opened her mouth widely, a yawn escaping, feeling her senses wanting to crawl back into the nest to sleep again. Her nose wrinkled at the fresh smell of crushed berries, her stomach grumbling ever so loudly, as several smaller Togepis fled in fear as if there was a predator near. "Good morning," she said, taking in a deep breathe while nodding her head at several vendors in the distance and they all waved in greeting to the half-asleep Mareep.

If she could recall, Mabel was suppose to meet up with her team embers shortly later on but the storm from last night had kept her up and with that, her wool kept up puffing up anytime the thunder struck down. She glanced at her pelt, the curly white fluff fringing. Her vision made way to the small opening towards the forest but near it was a small open campsite with a traveling chef. She licked her lips, her tail slowly wagging at it. Finally, some food!

((Alrightie, Moo owo We'd always welcome another former member onto the team!

Might also add another character sometime soon to possibly be a part of Calcifer Callers, if that's alright. I just need to figure out what Pokemon; there's so many to choose from! ;A;))

Kagura

It was a bright and sunny day in the town of Oradon, the perfect time for explorers to be out and about. The weather wasn't too harsh and the sun hung lazily at its peak in the blue sky above, though its brilliant light was occasionally repelled by passing clouds, making it so that shade was plentiful even if one weren't in it already.

The young Mawile had been helping others out the whole morning and was now strolling along the dirt path that led around the small village, greeting everyone she came across with a bored attitude and ignoring those who weren't in her line of sight-- nothing too unusual. She had been extremely irritated the day before and had blown up at just about everyone who didn't agree with her, confronting them with a sharp-tongued challenge. And of course, if they did respond with an idea that outsmarted her own, she would either put it down immediately out of self-pride or hesitantly agree with the plan, but act as if it were the most foolish plan in the universe. Hopefully, this day wouldn't turn out to be too bad.

As Kagura proceeded in her path, she came across a Buizel that she had seen countless times in Oradon who went by the name of Calcifer-- and he was holding a book, no less!
She just observed the Water-type Pokemon for a few moments before waving, as if trying to get his attention. "Hey," she called, "how come you've got a book with you? Aren't you already smart enough?" As she spoke these words of sarcasm, the Mawile recalled how arrogant Calcifer could often be, especially on the topic of his intelligence. Obviously it wouldn't hurt too much to pry, would it?

Calcifer

"I'm entirely smart enough," Calcifer retorted, a look of pure unamusement on his face as he glanced up at the Mawile. He recognised her as Kagura, and quite the Pokemon, too. Perhaps if they ever got into a big enough of a verbal fight, the two could conduct up what would be titled The Great Sass War, and it would be remembered by generations upon generations (of course that was quite the over exaggeration, nevertheless it would end up results somewhat like that). "I'm trying to get a little bit smarter, you know, just in case everyone else here might need a bit of my intelligence to wear off on them,"
With this the entirely out-of-place water type Pokemon hesitantly shut the leather covered book, looking at Kagura in an almost challenging manner. It was only noon and already had this happened. Perhaps today would be a bit less boring than expected; maybe frustrating, but less boring.

"What about you, then? Walking around greeting everyone? I don't think that'll help the residents of Oradon Town, ya know."

Alastor

Although right now was most certainly not his typical awakening time, Alastor would dearly appreciate breakfast. The Noctowl barely ate at all in fear of growing too fat to even be physically useful in some manner, but when he did eat, he either gorged himself in typical joys, or ate a typical amount of simply splendid food. Today he felt to hunt down the contrary of the first option, as he did most dearly appreciate fine foods.
And what more convenient location to be searching for fine foods than the vendor-packed Oradon Town? On the more inconvenient side of things, the majourity of vendors were entirely irrelevant to the subject of food. There was an Prinplup whom's name had forgotten selling most certainly decorative shells (apparently it was a sort of 'family tendency' among the lot), the Duskull bank, proudly open for at least fifty years, and likely; still going on. Perhaps the owl would get lucky today, more ever, and run into a bit of a traveling chef. Oradon town did seem to attract both explorers and them, fortunately enough. Now hopefully no-one would be pointing him out or squabbling for his attention on some sort of 'issue'.
With a most certainly forceful and energy-draining flap of the remaining right wing, the feathered creature took off. Looking out-of-place considering the time as well as awkward in his flight; leaning towards on side in a hazardous tilt. It looked as if he would plummet to the ground at any given moment.

((PFFF
"The Great Sass War"... >w> I'm sure those two would be able to cook up an argument that'd fit the title, though!))

Kagura

As the obnoxious Buizel replied, Kagura's temper immediately made itself apparent. How dare he, above anyone else, talk to her like this! "I beg your pardon? I'll have you know that I've been going back and forth on raw feet to help others all morning!" she snapped, resting her arms on her hips as she glared at Calcifer. It was obvious that she had a sharp distaste in others talking back to her own side of the argument, which only made her attitude worse and, sometimes, even amusing for other witnesses and possibly the other side of the fight.

"And what have you contributed to helping anyone, huh?" the duel-jawed Pokemon confronted snarkily with a grit of her teeth, flipping the ear-like extensions on her head out of pure and utter habit. She refused to back down from the conflict, and anyone who knew her would know that she didn't like to admit defeat, especially when it came to vocal wars. It wouldn't be too surprising if she was most likely capable of going on for as long as it took to make the opponent give up.
"Frolicking in the ponds and reading the text on a page doesn't do much, does it?"

Mabel

Frizzy curls of wool were the only visible sight at the open "cafe." Mabel's head was submerged into a bowl, devouring the oh so exquisite berries of the morning to detain her starvation. Her tail was wagging side to side as if it were a fin to a Magickarp, ever so moving to keep up in the currents or in this case, her stomach. None of the members of the Calcifer Callers were present, just several unknown travelers that she had greeted just today, and several residents that were off into their own business. Licking her lips with her stomach not barely emitting a grumble, the sheep was finally content with the morning somewhat.

Her ears flickered, hearing the fainted beats of wings yonder. She turned her head as she eyed the mayor of Oradon town. The Mabel wrinkled her nos,e calling out a greeting but she noted his tired movement. "Good morning, Mayor," she at first called as she eased away from the bowl, still with spots of berries on her face.

Calcifer

"I haven't been 'frolicking in ponds', thank you very much," Calcifer retorted, tucking the book underneath his arm and folding them over his chest, a stern look on his face; as if he was going to lecture Kagura about even daring to point out certain flaws of his current activity, though of course there was nothing wrong with reading a book; one could barely call it a flaw! "Honestly I don't like water that much, and research on certain things is better than running around and saying 'oh hello there have a nice morning', probably a lot more helpful too!"
Just as he said this, the buizel realised how much attention the two might possibly draw from other most certainly innocent by-standers; or worse, the seemingly missing 'mayor' of Oradon Town, who very much liked to lecture anyone about any sort of necessary commotion caused. Perhaps it would be better not to start the flare that lit up 'The Great Sass War'.

"Instead of this though, how is your saying 'hello' going? Boring and bland, or do you actually mean it a bit?"

It might still be sassy as well as rude, but at least it was better than how far the original conversation could've gone. Perhaps if Kagura had greeted him with a 'hello' rather than teasings about his reading, it might possibly end up being a bit more friendly.

Alastor

It took Alastor a little while to reply to just the Mareep had been hoping to meet. But of course he was rather slow to react to many things now; as if even saying 'hello' required deep thought.
"Ah yes, hello Mabel!" the Noctowl greeted rather loudly, roughly landing nearby. His sight still remained ever so fuzzy, as he was slow to see what was which and what it meant. Nevertheless berries and their existence was rather clear to him; likely, there was a was a traveling chef of some sort (or a new vendor we had missed), which very much would explain the traces of berries. "I imagine you're having a good morning, by the looks of it!" The bird commented, titling his head to one side and then the other; eventually almost turning it the whole around. He remained this way, looking at the world in an almost complete-upside-down angle. It did at least give his neck a good stretch.
"Where did you get the berries? This is most certainly not my typical wake-up time, but I do appreciate good food! Depending where it comes from, that is,"

((I'm sorry for the late post; my cousin was visiting for the weekend and I couldn't get to my laptop. owo;;
I'm thirteen as of the first of this month. Guise halp me I don't know what to think about this ;w;))

Kagura

Kagura was easily able to detect the sarcasm in the Buizel's voice as he asked another snarky question, but she didn't bother too much about dragging the argument on any longer. Instead, she just folded her arms in front of her chest in exasperation, the set of jaws on the back of her head opening slightly as if to indicate her annoyance even further. "My saying 'hello' is going just fine, thank you," she drawled, her voice laced with mockery, "and why don't you take a guess on whether or not I mean it? I'm sure someone with such high intellect could figure it out in a split second."

It honestly wasn't of any use to goad either side on any more, as they wouldn't get much done within the hours of the day by spitting insults at one another. It was possible they might be caught in the middle of arguing by Alastor, as well, and Kagura didn't very well feel up to getting scolded for not getting on with her work. Any passerby would probably get tired of hearing nothing but their useless bickering in the background in less than a minute.

"Well," the dual-jawed Pokemon mumbled, giving a presumptuous snort. "seems someone can't learn to take a harmless joke." It was clear that she didn't know exactly how to fess up and apologize for teasing him, but it was just that-- a tease! Why should she have to apologize?
