BATTLE LEGEND™ Blue wants to battle! ([personal profile] halloflamer) wrote in [community profile] tabularasa_rp2020-12-05 03:23 pm

OPEN - am I blue? you'd be too

Who: Blue Oak and yoooou
Where: Mt. Silver's peak, Heavenly Blanc, and Mortis Lake (maybe Merlaut Apartments later)
When: throughout voidcember!
What: Between Red and Lance vanishing, Ren and Akechi seemingly vanishing, and Mementos, Blue has been having a real Bad Time.
Content Warnings: alcohol abuse, depression


A. Mortis Lake Forest

[When Blue is stressed out, he has a few ways of dealing with it. The healthiest one, thankfully, comes first.]

[Although they may not having all their usual abilities, having his full team of Pokémon back meant that Blue could get back into the swing of a training routine, and that was at least the first step in keeping his mind straight. Mortis Lake was a great place for this- Gyarados chills in the lake waters for a happy soak while Exeggutor sits amongst the other trees next to a meditating Alakazam, watching as Blue directs Arcanine and Pidgeot in Agility training. Eevee is trying to follow along, although even quick as he is, he can't make such powerful single bounds and dashes as the powerful 'windy' Pokémon can.]


Come on, Arcanine! A little quicker! This time, try to make it to that notched tree over there and back before Pidgeot makes it to that treetop and back! [Blue calls, absorbed in his training. He looks... exhausted, almost like he himself has been pushing at this for hours without a break. You'll have to forgive him and his Pokémon if they don't see you directly in the path of their makeshift training arena.]


B. Heavenly Blanc

[Whether it's before the disappearance of his coworker or after, patrons of Heavenly Blanc might find the bar.... less regularly manned than it usually is. At first, maybe one could chalk it up to the strange sleep cycles everyone has found themselves beholden to, but those that catch the bar's usual tender might realize that's not the only reason.]

[Those that knew him well probably knew Blue was a fan of the bottle to begin with, but the way he's slumped over the bar, or in of the booths, or laying spread eagle on the floor probably makes it obvious this isn't just his usual casual, raucous overdrinking. If a patron enters while he's miserably laying about, he'll blink up slowly, squint, and try to roll himself up. Gotta... get back to work...]


Ah, customer... jus' gimme a second...


C. Mt. Silver's Peak

[And when he just can't bring himself to face the outside world anymore, he goes to where's most familiar to him.]

[...It's sort of laughable that it's this place. It hurts, more than it helps; huddled up on the cavern at the peak, Blue looks out over the world of the void that he can see in glimpses between the veils of snow that fall, below the misty cloudcover that swirls this high up. He wonders if Red always looked down over Kanto like this, wanting to return, but unable to bear it. That was probably how it felt, right? ...Who can know what that guy was ever feeling, or thinking...]

[Blue tucks his face into his knees and sniffles, hard and gross, shivering against the warmth of his Arcanine, who whines and nuzzles against him. That idiot.... there was no way of knowing what had happened to him- if he had slipped and fallen down the mountain, if he'd gotten eaten in those terrible corridors full of monsters and mouths- or if he'd simply ...gotten tired of people again, and vanished somewhere. Gotten tired of him again.]

[Well, in the end, as Blue had always supposed back then- he wouldn't blame him.]

[As much has it hurt knowing how her friends had vanished, she just had to keep on moving. She didn't know where they might have gone but knew she couldn't keep thinking about it. They would be fine, she knew the both of them wouldn't go down without a fight.

Hoping to take her mind off of them, she walked into the cafe to see...someone on the floor? Looking down at Blue, she was in shock! She didn't know what made him go on the floor but she can't let him stay there! Kneeling down, she had get him back up!]


Excuse me, I think you had enough! You must get some rest!

[Despite his attempts, Haru just looked at him with a small smile. She didn't know how much he drank but it was enough to make her worried about him. For a moment, it made her forget about her own troubles.]

Are you sure? Here, hold on my hand. I'll place you back on the bar.

[She said before giving said hand out to him. Hopefully he was coordinated enough to grab it?]

(going to heavenly blanc is only so that kimihiro cuts the trip down to the market. as it turns out, one does not easily find a path down to being social after such a long time of emotional distance. as he enters, he's got mugetsu, as per always, wrapped around his neck and he holds the changsan so that it doesn't sweep the flo-- what is happening?

he hasn't had that much time to spend with blue, usually he thanks him, takes the bottle, and sits outside so that he can smoke. this didn't seem to be his normal behavior, star-lying on the floor like that. he reeks of alcohol, and all kimihiro can do is to kneel, offering help for blue to stand up by supporting his weight on him.)

blue_eyed_obsession: Copper cap (Lay into this fool)

[personal profile] blue_eyed_obsession 2020-12-06 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[As it so happened, when Kaiba emerged into the clearing he was in the direct path of the diligent pokémon and it's training session. With the speed it had obtained there were only seconds to react. Keen eyes assessed the danger to his person, he reached for one of his own pokéballs as a reflex.]

Niwatori!

[Not quibbling over what to call the creature contained inside, he tossed the ball near himself. In a flash of brilliant light one of those Chocobos/Blurrgs appeared. Gripping onto it, the monster darted out of the way taking it's owner with it. By the time it came to a halt, Kaiba had managed to swing his form on top of it. He could tell that his stead, was bewildered, but also that now that it could tell what was going on, it longed to join in the race itself. It took a lot of convincing to keep it steady.

The Pokémon he'd seen before at that meet and greet the pokedweebs had thrown, glancing past it he narrowed his eyes to focus on Blue. It didn't take a medical professional to tell the other male was looking worse for wear, but Kaiba couldn't bring himself to care... much. It was more of a curiosity, also he could relate to driving yourself to the past the point of exhaustion. He'd done that last month, as part of his training.
] I'm just going to assume that wasn't intentional... [Not like he needed more reasons to be detest Blue besides]

[As always in the Void, it's difficult to tell how much time has truly passed. Nothing looks different compared to the last time Akechi was here, at least, which is both a reassurance and cause for concern. After all, it means they're all still trapped in the same gods-forsaken experiment.

Ren isn't here, which is mildly troubling, but he does recognize that voice groaning on the floor behind the bar. Ah dear. Seems as though Ren's been absent to let things get to this state, hm?]


Not to worry, [he reassures, the corner of his lip edging up into a hint of a smirk as he crosses the threshold, lets the door close behind him. He'd never venture behind the bar of Leblanc, but then, this isn't Leblanc, cursed with the weight of memories both real and literally dreamlike. This is somewhere else entirely, and Akechi did spend some time helping out here, a lifetime and a half ago.]

I'll just prepare some coffee myself, shall I? Don't let me stop you.

(Ren is back, bitches.

He wasn't expecting to see Blue like this. Honestly, he wasn't expecting half of the reaction to his disappearing to be like it is.

When he hears the slurred voice, he knows exactly what had happened. The bottles were disappearing each time more, and his trips to the market to refill it were becoming more and more frequent. Ren just shakes his head, swapping his jacket over for his apron.)


Blue, it's me. (He says as he rests a hand on the other's back, gently not to startle.) Let's get you some water.

She shakes off the snow that had collected around her and turns to head back down.]


Hey.

Don't cry.

Your tears will freeze, and it will stick to your face.

[ though Blue is certainly going through a rougher time than Raihan is, that's not to say that he's fine. it was incredibly worrying that Pokémon trainers have been disappearing without a trace, starting with Red and now moving onto Lance. he's yet to notice Akechi's disappearance, but Ren is a notable missing body from the Heavenly Blanc, and that in itself is enough to make his assumptions even worse.

surely not all of these people had just gotten lost, or something to that effect. there had to be something taking them - the same force that had brought them here in the first place, maybe, or perhaps something different altogether. he doesn't know for sure, and that uncertainty is eating at him. he finds himself wanting to talk to Blue in particular about it, not only to ease his own worries, but to check in on him as well. he was much closer to Red and Lance, after all...

there had been a few places that he had looked for Blue first, but when the idea of Mt. Silver's peak dawns on him, he nearly kicks himself in the head for not thinking of it sooner. the mountain, isolating as its peak was, was a familiar place. he'd retreated to Hammerlocke's ruins for self-reflection before, so why should this be any different?

with a bag slung over his shoulder, he mounts Flygon and directs him to fly to the peak of the mountain. it takes a little motivation once they hit the chilled air and snow of the area, but they press on until reaching the staircase that overlooked... whatever this world was. predictably, at its base, is the man that he's looking for. surprising himself, he lets out an exhale of relief that he didn't even know he was holding in.

hands stuffed into his hoodie pockets for warmth, he hikes closer. ]


Try to let a guy know that you're going somewhere to mope, will you? Almost gave me a bloody heart attack.

[ here to throw blue off the mountain is one leo tsukinaga......

okay, no. but, did you know you can touch the weirdo sky shapes at the top of the mountain? did you know the top of the mountain, while exhausting and annoying to get to, is worth it enough to see the glimpses of something you wouldn't normally? to pull out songs or notes when the world was being a tad unfair, when people you thought would be around for a while suddenly weren't anymore?

because you can. because it is.

and apparently he's not the only one who thinks so. when leo catches the sight of blue, huddled into his d*g*mon... he pauses. ahh, that's the... shoeburn meouch guy, isn't it?

excuse him. ]


Heeey, that looks comfy! Keeping warm? Lemme join in too, okay?

[ for now, he'll pretend he doesn't see blue crying! people would also rather not have near-strangers seeing them sob pathetically into their dogs, but it's not like he can just leave and pretend he saw nothing...

leo'll feel out whether or not he'd rather be alone, first. but, really -- leo knows that most of the time, you don't really want to be. ]

Are you okay?!

[ Turing was unlucky enough to encounter Blue while he was making close friends with the floor. They didn't so much care about why that was at that moment; the more important thing was making sure he was okay, and they wasted no time in rushing over there. ]

If it's difficult to get up, please don't force yourself!

[ They gave Blue a little pat on the shoulder. It was better if he stayed on the floor instead of getting up and maybe falling down anyway. ]

No rush! [ The customer in question is Aerith, who enters humming to herself and glancing around to see who might be in the bar today. Her eyes fall on Blue behind the counter, and she smiles, offering a wave. ]

Good to see you again! And much better, since we're out of those caves. [ That...hadn't been a great experience for her. ] Is Arcanine back there with you? I think he'd make a very charming business partner!

[ Not "mascot" - somehow she feels like that could be offensive.

...It's closer to now that she takes real stock of Blue's state, and her smile fades slightly. ]


...I don't really need anything from back there, but...would you mind if I sat with you for a while? I think I need a little company.

Was Add doing dangerous experiments again, like with the lightning rod? Were they going to have to give him a talking-to, again?

One look at their new guest told them this was not the case. They were indeed in some trouble. Tyranitrouble, even. ]
