Who: Raihan and you! What: December catch-all! Prompts are in the comments. Where: All over! When: Void-ember (December) Content Warnings: none at the moment.
[ cute.... yeah.... raihan is too good for leo, honestly, or maybe they're both in the trash heap they deserve. leo may have gotten raihan to follow him, but his grip on the other's wrist remains regardless -- looser now, yes, but still present.
horrible. he's walking around with some pauses here and there, looking around as if mentally mapping his previous steps in his mind. ]
Darn! I'm gonna get nagged at for sure if I don't find it...
[ more to himself than anything. ]
Anyway, Rai, didja see anything awesome selfies so far? Or, mmm, are most people like "shelfie? the heck is that?!" 'cause they're from old-timey worlds?
p it sure is a thing! and Rotom is just as careful as she is, giving her fingers a gentle nuzzle that ends up feeling more like a tickle of static cling than an actual shock. though he can't talk in his form, the fact that he's slowed down for her makes it clear that it's nice to meet her, too. ]
"Does the camera work", she asks! Hah! [ even Rotom has to snicker at that. ] I've been taking selfies since Rotom decided to wake up and smell the Roselia. It's sort of my thing back where I'm from, so I need to make up for lost time!
Which reminds me... [ he beckons her and Rotom closer while scrolling through his apps with a seasoned thumb. ] All friends of the great Raihan are contractually obligated to have a spot in his camera roll.
[Tifa is quick to scoot closer, as if she'd been expecting it to go this way all along.
The camera on her own phone works fine enough, but her flip phone is nothing as advanced as his... and it certainly doesn't have a Pokemon attached to it, so her excitement when she peers over at the phone's screen is palpable.]
Thought you'd never ask! [...] How do we wanna pose for the camera?
Well... your dad's not here, right? Probably. [ he has no idea who her father is, but the older adults that he does know in this world don't seem to fit what she's describing at all. ] Not that I'm here to be a bad influence, but I say you should do as you please.
[ Raihan isn't too concerned with her upbringing - rather, whether or not she feels like she's free enough to let her curiousity experience new things. it's not as if anyone here will say otherwise, and what better place to do that in a world with seemingly no logic or rules to it? ]
Woah, who said you were being a burden? I thought we were having a nice chat.
[ Leo doesn't growl like a dragon - not that those can't be cute either, but his isn't exactly what Raihan would consider to be fierce by most accounts. they've both got plenty of IRL shitpost in them to shoot back and forth, and that works just fine for him. he doesn't try to wriggle away, but keeps up with Leo's pace to avoid being dragged. ]
You got me all hyped, but don't think you're off the hook if it doesn't turn up! You'll still have to submit a pic that'll really impress me.
[ he's teasing a bit - as long as Leo has fun, Raihan doesn't really care either way. that was the real intent of this little "competition", after all. ]
Bingo on the second one! Not that it's a bother for me to explain, mind you. [ if he gets to show his amazing selfies as example pieces, it's a win for everyone involved. ] The way I see it, you and I are just gonna show everyone how it's done.
That depends on the flavour of Raihan you want! My fans usually like pics with my fierce side--
[ he demonstrates with his arm up, curling his fingers to mimic a dragon's claw and paired with a devilish smile that shows off his fanged canine. it's a perfected fanservice pose, to say the least. ]
But I can play it natural, if you want. Rotom knows all my best angles - I'll make sure he gets yours, too!
[ the Pokémon has already slipped itself back into his phone, more than happy to play photographer for them. somehow, Tifa has managed to ease the atmosphere and help get his mind off of his earlier trepidation -- he'll probably realize it later, but right now he's sufficiently distracted. ]
[It's not as if anyone else will be seeing this besides the people in the Void (as far as she knows), but she runs her fingers through her hair to make sure it's neat and all where it should be before she mimics Raihan's pose. She goes for imitating cat's claws rather than a dragon, and her devilish smirk is more of a confident grin, but close enough.]
Oh? Alright, let's do it - I won't steal your thunder.
[ he'll just go with his failsafe combination smoulder and wink, then! he leans in enough that both of them can be in the shot, prompting Rotom to hover above and angle himself for a good shot. between the two of them, there's more than enough ferocity and charm to go around. ]
