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.]

Her father wouldn't allow it!
But now she has?] I didn't know his fur was so soft! You're lucky, Blue-san, I wish I had a dog like this! And one that is so nice to take its owner back home!
[And yes, she's still petting Arcanine and having the time of her life!]
no subject
He's real fluffy, right? [Blue gushes, a little slurred- but at least it was lifting his spirits to think of his Pokémon, instead of the fellow trainers who'd vanished-] An' he's a Fire type, so he's soooo warm when you hug 'im! Oh, but he can't use his flames for some reason, 'round here... Wonder why....
[Now that he's flopped over Arcanine, Blue can let his head spin as much as it likes, and his eyes pinch shut. Arcanine wags his bushy tail as Haru pats him, prancing in place to make sure Blue was settled before leading the group towards the door of the bar. At least he was sure to get back safe, with them all together.] Thanks... for your help, really...
no subject
She didn’t mean to get carried away but how could she resist?]
It’s not a problem, I’m glad I could help. [That being said, she looked at Arcanine and then back at Blue] Do you think you are able to let your owner go back home safely? [She didn’t mind going with Blue if need be but only if the pokemon was okay with it]
no subject
[Blue scrubs his fingers into Arcanine's fur and sheepishly grins towards her.]
Yeah.... Hope the next time we can hang out will be less, um, troublesome.
no subject
[She said with a smile. She was taking a leap of faith by calling him a friend. They had just met but she sure hoped this would be the start of something new!]
Just take care, okay? If you need anything, let me know!
