(A) training day!

[ somewhere on one of the ledges of mt. silver, lance has set up a rusted cans on a rock ledge. inside the cans are cooked up pieces of fish. in his right hand, he has a piece of wood that's about the length of a baseball bat. dragonite is snuffling at the cans, but as lance swings the stick with a grin, the dragon-type straightens to attention. ]

Ready?

[ and dragonite huffs, spreading his wings, his eyes laser-focused on the can before lance curls his fingers around the piece of wood, swinging the stick. it hits the can with a crack, sending it flying off the cliff-face, and with a burst of speed, dragonite takes off after it, dipping down sharply to twist onto his back, catching the can in his mouth, crunching down on it with satisfaction to get the piece of fish out of it.

you might be below the ledge, seeing dragonite catch the can out of seemingly nowhere, or you might be wandering along mt. silver to see lance playing tee-ball with his big orange best friend, but either way, feel free to join in on the fun! but if you are near lance, he's readying for another swing, commenting: ]

Normally, training looks a little different . . . [ he says as he sends another can flying off the ledge, so dragonite can catch it. ] But he needs exercise just like everyone else, right?

[ and lance flips the stick over in his hand, to offer it to you with a grin, amused. ]

Do you want to try?

(B) galleria del funghi

[ the garden area by the museum is wonderfully peaceful, and lance has decided this may be his new favorite spot in this world. it also helps that there are an overabundance of mushrooms which are (1) edible and (2) delicious. so lance can be found hanging out near the bridge on some days, letting dragonite nose around in the river to swim in it and explore a bit.

it looks a little silly, a big land dragon swimming around, but if you pause near the bridge, lance will say: ]

They're born in the water, when in their pre-evolution stage.

[ warmly enough, before lance turns his attention to you, inclining his head back toward the galleria. ]

Did you find the artwork to your liking?

[ save your dick jokes for someone who will find them funny!! ]

(C) wildcard!

[ feel free to come up with a prompt of your own or hit me up for ideas! ]

Comments

[thunderwave]

Favors may very well be the only real currency in this place.

[ it's a smart idea, though what favor he could give in exchange for food, lance has no idea. maybe offering dragonite to lift something heavy? who knows. lance himself has a fairly limited skillset here, aside from basic trainer-skill survival.

but as tifa asks her question, he glances in dragonite's direction, thoughtful. ]

Every Pokemon has a different diet -- Dragonite in particular are omnivorous. He likes a lot of fish.

[ those amphibious pokemon turned land pokemon and all. ]

And seaweed. I think he's eaten his fair weight in sushi, by now.

[ much to the complaint of lance's wallet, but. whatever. ]

[thunderwave]

[ interesting. so zack recognizes some of the landscape, too. ]

Do you know anyone here?

[ he asks, curiously, crossing his arms comfortably over his chest. ]

I've found some of us have relatively many friends from home, and some of us have no one at all.

[king_in_dreams]

Yeah, I don't know whether to say 'cool' or 'that sucks'.

[The point remains, and so on.]

I'm at least finding some people to talk to. So I guess that's good enough?

[activatingcombatmode]

[Putting the stick aside he places his hands on his hips and nods.]

Yup. You might've seen them around. I know Aerith, Cloud and Tifa too. We're all from the same world.

[... And Sephiroth.] There's one more of us, Sephiroth too. It's weird to think some of us have friends and some of us don't. Better to stick together in the end I guess.

[starshower]

Sushi it is, then.

[Good thing it isn't just the meat stand she and Cloud have been running around these parts, but Strife's Bites includes sushi as well. Right up Dragonite's alley.]

We've got some old favourites and some newer stuff, too. The freezer was stocked full of all kinds of fish and ingredients when we got there... Been trying new things so maybe you guys can stop by.

[Then, a little bit louder for Dragonite to hear:] Maybe even do some taste-testing for me.
