004; action for violet pokecenter/video
[So today Ondorus had been doing a bit of training out on Route 32, as is normal these days.
What wasn't normal was hearing a commotion a little ways away, and going to check it out and finding an Ekans biting the living daylights out of a poor wild Mareep.
Ondorus, being One Of Those People when it came to animals (especially of the wooly kind), saw only one solution. Olivia had no difficulty in driving off the bewildered Ekans, and the wounded, poisoned Mareep soon found itself inside a latching Pokeball.
....and then the Pokeball disappeared.
Ondorus quickly realized the reason for this, and hurried back to the Violet Pokemon Center.]
[At the Pokemon Center, Ondorus rushes into the building, looks around for the PC, goes to it, and...spends a while fumbling with it, looking worried. When he finally has a grasp on how it works, he notices something, pauses, looks extremely confused, then clumsily withdraws not one, but two Pokemon from the PC.
The first one he lets out is the injured, poisoned, weakly bleating Mareep, which he scoops up and delivers to the Nurse Joy immediately. He then hesitantly lets out the second Pokemon.
....this Sewaddle seems familiar.
Ondorus can be found in the Pokemon Center during that hullabaloo....or after it. Afterwards he is sitting in a chair with the Sewaddle on his lap, the Mareep at his feet, and his Xatu sitting in the chair next to him, all three munching on Pokemon-treats while he rubs idly at the bridge of his nose, looking tired, with his glasses in his other hand.]
[Later in the day, there is a post!]
I believe the girl named Yui has returned home. I found her Sewaddle in the PC today, but it appears he ended up there some time ago...
[He feels kind of awful about that.]
...the PC. It makes me feel rather uncomfortable, to think of leaving Pokemon there...wherever "there" is. But seven companions can't be taken outside of the city, it seems.
[Mmmrr. He folds his hands together, frowning. What is he going to do about this?]
Could someone explain to me what the PC is, and how it works? This world's technology... [He shakes his head in amazement as he ends the recording.]

they're often more competent than their squishy human trainers, trust him]
Forgive the amount of questions here, my friend, but I admit I'm interested - you've mentioned not being human in the past. In your world of origin, do your people have...I'm not certain how you would describe it. Abilities, I suppose, that are more advanced than those you possess as a human?
[i mean if you're accustomed to likewise spitting fire or something then yeah he can sort of understand the concern here, uh]
[video - private]
But monsters such as we have properties that differ from a human's, to be sure.
[video - private]
Rune magic, is it? And sorcerers as well...this is commonplace, in your society? Such things are considered to exist only in legends, where I'm from - and you openly call yourself monsters as well...that's something with a bit of a negative connotation, in worlds populated primarily by humans, but if it's as you've said before and other species are very prevalent, I can see where -
[...................................and that is about the point where he realizes that he should probably sit his happy ass down and stop yattering, oh my god Descole calm down
it was like three sentences
can we not jump Ondorus with the massive amounts of fascination for three sentences
this is why you have no friends]
Ah, that...was hardly gentlemanly of me, was it? My apologies; my own work deals heavily with civilizations greatly removed from those we're familiar with in my world today - hearing of other societies is something that interests me greatly.

this all reminds ondorus of himself. but like. a few centuries younger.
it's kind of adorable.]
It's perfectly all right. I don't mind sharing - if there's anything you'd like to know, all you have to do is ask. I might ask for some information to be shared in return, though. [let it begin]
It's fairly common for people of all kinds to know the very basics of magic, especially if they lack rudimentary skill in the handling of a weapon with which to defend themselves instead. Some choose to advance their knowledge of magic, be it for purposes of combat, craft, or simple curiosity. [or other, more nefarious purposes but mehhhh.]
[video - private]
and it's admittedly kind of nice to not be in the foreveralone.jpg corner due to this sort of thing, wow]
...you can ask whatever you like, though I can't guarantee that all questions will receive answers. You're more than welcome to follow the same principle, of course; as it stands, I'll answer what I believe I can.
[all right, now that he's established that his veritable emotional fortress-walls are not going to come crashing down for any man/univir/thingo-that-you-happen-to-be
let's nerding]
And am I to assume that you're one of these...sorcerers yourself? Do you have a specific discipline that you study, or have you used the longer timeframe you mentioned to study multiple?
[video - private] in which i bullshit heartily because rf doesn't fuckin explain anything
But magic is an important subject for me, as a part of univir tradition. My skill lies mainly in practical applications - seals, enchantments, and the like - and extended theory, though I've dabbled in most areas.
[video - private] i have to bullshit heartily when people ask descole what *year* it is, i feel you
[He's back to fiddling with the small mechanical whatever-it-is, though it isn't through boredom; just to give his hands something to do while he thinks.]
I can certainly understand the desire to study "anything," as it were - some of the disciplines I've studied have their practical applications, or were necessary for my work; others are things I've picked up simply because I liked them, or at the very least the idea of them. I don't see much sense in limiting myself, in that regard.

...not that swordsmanship is a rare skill back home but there's a difference between functional swordsmanship and fancy swordsmanship ok]
Respectable skills to have, even if they don't often come to much use in Johto. Do you play an instrument?
