He did, huh? I don't know anythin' about Galar's legendary Pokémon, but I know the ones where I come from can be real jerks if they wanna. Or, if they feel like it, sometimes they'll save people....

Just like people, they have their moods. [Blue says it thoughtfully.] But usually, their wrath doesn't just happen outta nowhere.

[So if this was caused by a Pokémon, Blue is sure it's revenge for something- but there's no clear logic to those who have been affected..... Still, with that in mind, he isn't all ready to go pitchforks and battling at a legendary Pokémon until they can understand why it's done this.]

Well, Red is here. [Blue shrugs, like it's just Obvious Fact.] So it shouldn't be too hard, with all the rest of us here, too.

[The Pokémon trainers, he means. The rest of ya'll can sit this one out.]
halloflamer: (Well lookie what we got here!)

[Hey Akechi, chill]

[The corner of Blue's mouth twitches a little as he watches Akechi messily drag his hand across the wall, the similarity of the red handprint to blood not lost on him... But, he doesn't really have a reason to think it's weird!]

[It's kinda weird, though.]


Red? We've been friends since we were tiny brats. [He grins easily, shoulders rolling.] And that guy's the only one that can match me, ...but more importantly, he's caught a bunch of Legendary Pokémon before.

[Blue says it with a bit of an annoyed tone, eyes rolling to the side. That showoff. Bastard.]

So, he should be able to handle it. Though, I guess I'd help him out if he asked....
halloflamer: (I could beat you with my eyes closed!)

[Blue misses the tiny bit of humor and self-reflection Akechi gets from that; after all, rivalries like that were so common back home, he figures it's just Akechi genuinely commenting in understanding for the situation.]

[Doesn't everyone have a complicated, vaguely homoerotic life's rival!?]


He probably can... If he can manage it. Whatever brought us here must be way more powerful than the Legendary birds, [Blue muses. Red had caught legendaries, but even they had different ranks within their pantheons; the legends of the birds paled in comparison to those of the Legendaries who had been born from the time of the creation of the universe.]

But, he's always gotten along with Pokémon like nobody else- he even tamed the birds, so if anyone can manage to convince them, I'm sure he can!

[Blue says it with a bit of admiring cheer. Rely on the nearly mute, socially anxious kid to negotiate with god? No problem!]

[The Smoogles, who have gotten bored with their philosophical talk, have taken to painting the ground around them- Blue's interest is caught by it, and he leans over to observe the patterns being doodled around their feet, almost like a strange combination of hopscotch and a scene from a football playbook on a whiteboard.]


Oh, is this a game? Maybe they want us to play...
halloflamer: (#POKESWAG)

[personal profile] halloflamer 2020-08-30 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Pssht, I don't have a choice! [Blue sighs dramatically, hands on his hips.] Even if I didn't, he would do it anyway...... Once thing I learned when we were kids is that it don't matter how impossible or dangerous something is, Red's gonna do it.

Reckless bastard. But, it always seems to work out, when it's him, so there's no point worrying. [Incredibly lucky, or just incredibly talented? Maybe it was a bit of both, but Blue had come to learn that his panicking over Red was usually a waste of energy- because he wouldn't be able to budge him, anyway.]

[Blue motions towards the Smoogles, like he's trying to communicate with them about their game, pointing to the different lines.]
Will you show me? [Eevee hops down too, and makes a leap from circle to painted square, demonstrating until the Smoogles understand, and begin a strange little hopping and skipping dance around them.]

[Motioning to Akechi, he grins brightly.]
Come on, they want us to play, too. You never hopscotched? Or 'the floor is lava'?
halloflamer: (huehuehue Sawk rhymes with)

[personal profile] halloflamer 2020-08-31 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You’re gonna hurt their feelings... [Blue says in a warning tone, as if something bad was going to happen if he didn’t...? (That bad thing is that the Smoogles will be sad.)]

[He shrugs, ultimately, starting to give little leaps from circle to spot.]


Hah? Is that so... Sounds like a pain, [He laughs, shooting Akechi a playful, completely innocent grin.] What’s wrong? Don’t make a face like that- I’m not gonna steal your boyfriend.
halloflamer: (I EAT ASS)

[personal profile] halloflamer 2020-09-02 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Pfft-- hahaha, okay.

[Blue patronizingly grins, hopping to another of the Smeargle patterns and miming with them in order to figure out their game, attention half split between them and casually teasing Akechi.]

[Kids in denial of their crushes was so endearing!! ...Blue thinks, as if he isn't literally that kid. He also 100% doesn't believe they aren't actively into each other, but hey.]
'Working together', is that what the kids call it these days...?

Okay. Working on what?

[He asks, apparently honestly believing Akechi will actually give him some kind of real answer. Bless him.]
halloflamer: (A shiny Pidgey huh)

[personal profile] halloflamer 2020-09-05 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Although it's perhaps a little hard to tell when and if Blue is doing it on purpose.... At least, he doesn't seem to be forward about being antagonistic, so if Akechi would like to believe he's as foolish as he seems, it's unlikely he'd be able to hide it so well, right?]

[...Judging from some of the events at the party (with one Seto Kaiba), perhaps he isn't the type to bother hiding it when he's feeling antagonistic, anyway.]


Hmmm... Do think there's anything we can actually do to get home? This place seems so lifeless, [Blue comments, watching the Smeargle tag after Akechi with an adoring grin. Don't make them sad.] I mean, aside from the Pokémon here. What I mean is.... if it is a Legendary Pokémon that's behind all this, I feel like they woulda shown up by now. But it doesn't feel like anything that happens here is on purpose, you know?

Um, kinda like... It's just random.
halloflamer: (Oh yeah you're big news in Sinnoh huh?)

[Blue is pleased to see how fond Akechi seems to be with the Smeargle...... He's a good actor, if nothing else! Oh well, if he won't play with them, this is good enough!]

Haha, careless maybe, I dunno if I ever heard about a stupid legendary...

[Watching Akechi with the Smeargle, Blue continues to play with the other ones, following their lead as they walk him through their painted little 'obstacle course'.]

[No matter how small the chance, huh...? Blue couldn't be bothered with stuff like this. If there weren't even any hints as to what was going on, he was content to simply coast along, staying safe and keeping his spirits up as best he could.]

[Stuff like that... That was for maniacs, like Red. Like Ren.]


Haha... The both of you are just regular super heroes, aren't you?

........Well, heroes with knives, or whatever, I guess. [Blue dryly laughs, somewhere between a teasing grin and a grimace.]
