Are you, like, the only mail carrier for the post office? Isn't there anyone else who delivers mail as well?

Though I think I've got an advantage with my wings at least... heheh I ought to thank them more often.

[ask-parakarry]

Hope I wasn't missed too badly nor that I was gone all too long... Eheheh... heh..

[ You guys might notice that the blog now has a bunch of empty pages! That's because as a part of the reboot I decided to private most of the posts. There's a few I'm keeping (Shiver City Ball, etc.), but yeah. Sorry for any future confusion and I hope this shall be a splendid reboot! 

I'll be answering the asks I do have left still by the way. ]

[ask-parakarry]

A diamond in the rough you say? Makes me want to go find these people myself! Though I guess I'd stand out if it's your version of Rogueport? I honestly must say that those who can tolerate living there under such circumstances are troopers. I'd  wonder what types of folks they are.

[/he looks to the side a bit]

Thank you for that. I hate to admit it, but if I weren't an active participant of it, I'd personally think every player there was eccentric judging by a few of them.. I suppose I should strive to be a little bit more open-minded like you and take the time to look at things, eh?

Hmhm! An I wouldn’t mind gettin’ to know more about you.

> He seemed to be quite the interesting fellow. What was it like to be a Mail Carrier, he wondered.

An as much as Rogueport is full of troublemakers, it’s got a charm to it. Lots a diamonds in the rough if you ever have a really good look around. That an there are some honest folks makin’ good livin’ around there, too. Could go on.

> He fixes his cap, giving a listen to his troubles with the Parlor.

Didn’t think anythin’ different a’ you for just goin’ to the parlor. It’s a popular spot, often see a lot of folks there. I would’ve assumed you were on a break or the like.

[ask-parakarry]

Chuckling, he answered. "Yeah.. I guess you're right. I didn't mind Dry Dry Desert too much, but Mt. Lavalava sure was something else, whew! I don't think I've ever felt so glad to get out of a place as I was there. I don't know how Kooper deals with it."

"I was with Bombette and Lak-- Spike.. before I arrived at the resort. I wonder where they ran off to."

Rio looked at the other forts. They were coming along much more quickly than the one he and Parakarry were building, but he didn’t let it bother him. He knew that if he let it eat him he’d be distracted from actually working, and end up pelted with snowballs. And he hated the cold.

“That would be pretty convenient, but after being in DryDry Desert and then Mt. Lavalava I think I could do without the fire.” he said.

“And you’re right, I don’t see much of anyone else around. I thought I spotted one or two people earlier, but not since then.”

[ask-parakarry]

"Heh, you shouldn't give me all the credit. I got the idea from the other team, actually." He motioned over towards Team 2's forts. "I appreciate the help, though! I haven't quite spotted any of our teammates as of yet. It really takes a good deal of work off my shoulders. Though if only this was like a shell. Especially Kooper's. Imagine how convenient it'd be to fling it around and have it burst on fire! Though I do guess it would be a safety hazard or would just melt the snow. Hm..," he spoke as he continued his work.

“Karry!” Rio exclaimed in relief. It was a big encouragement to see not only his teammate, but his good friend hanging around and…building a fort!

“Good thinking, man!” he said, barreling down into the snow next to the winged man immediately and beginning to shore up piles of the stuff to pack together. “If we have a wall, we’ve got ourselves a shield! Just like a shell! Let me help.”

[ask-parakarry]

Ah, that'd be quite the treat! A good refresher is always appreciated! I suppose we could get to know each other a bit more then as well.

[/he raised an eyebrow]

Would you mind telling me a bit more about this place and it's nice qualities? I'd certainly be interested to hear them all! It'd all be news to me. 

[/he nodded]

Admittedly, I have a bad habit dealing with the parlor unfortunately.. I've been trying to cut on it but whenever I go to the blimp for my duty, I'm tempted each and every single time. I'm afraid that you saw me slacking off, of all things. It's not really up to our motto...  I hope I didn't make a bad impression?

Well maybe I could lead you around when we’ve got time, hm? No reason not to.

> And if he was correct, there was something about teams he’d seen mentioned before he set off? Maybe this fellow was on his.

An you’d be right, it ain’t the nicest place in the kingdom… But nonetheless, does have its perks.

> It was home. And that was all that really mattered. But the Parlor…?

And do you now? Maybe THAT’S where I’ve seen you! On one of my visits to the Western Side. Makes a lick of sense, hm?

[ask-parakarry]

"Hello, 'Rio! Over here!" the mailman exclaimed and waved, then motioning him over.  "Glad to see you've made it to the event! I'm gonna need a hand to help out for sure." He had been working rather slowly on making a blockade. The progress clearly wasn't much and only made it to his knees after all this time. 

“Oh boy…” rio muttered, “A Sports event of all things…doesn’t look like I’m gonna come out on top of this at all.”

He looked around. Most of the people here with arms were bound to be better in a snowball fight than him. He was going to have to rely on his brain and his speed like he always did. He sighed, drew up the hood of his coat, and went off to find a few of his teammates, hoping to form a strategy.

[ask-parakarry]

[/he chuckled sheepishly]

That would certainly be useful. I admittedly was pretty lost despite having been here before at least twice.. Though it's admittedly been a few years.. or months, was it?

[/he went into deep thought for a few moments before replying with a grin]

Yes, yes.. I think I've been there once or twice. Not a rather pleasant town, if I remember correctly. The letters I'd have to deliver in that area though were more towards Petalburg and Glitzville. Though the number might be decreasing what with those Mailbox SPs... I remember seeing some of them in the more lively part near the parlor.

[/he jumps slightly at the realization]

Yes, I visit the parlor every so often! Now, I remember. It's quite silly of me to forget about it retrospect, heheh..

Really now? Least in my time I got to know Shiver City an around there.

> Always a plus to know the land, especially if it came to some of these aforementioned ‘events’.

Pleasure to meet you as well. And I think so, yes! I hail from Rogueport, sort of aged-lookin’ port town. Might you have passed through there at some point?

[ask-parakarry]

[/Hm, this man's dialect was certainly new to him. It intrigued him to say the least.]

Frankly, it wasn't too much. It was just a feast to welcome everyone. They say the first event is today! It's got me positively jittery just thinking about it, heh.

[/An admiral, did he say he was? My, this sailor certainly seemed interesting! The comment however shifted his expression as he cocked his head to the side in surprise]

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Bobbery! And have you? Where do you come from then? I don't believe I've been to too many places besides the area around Toad Town and Decalburg...

> He jumped a bit at the sudden arrival. He didn’t expect to be approached so quick.

‘Ello to you as well. An aye, I did just arrive. S’pose I missed somethin’!

> Just as expected. But nonetheless, he doesn’t let that get him down.

I’m the Admiral Bobbery. An I believe I’ve caught sight a’ you somewhere before, Parakarry.

> So he was the somewhat elusive mail carrier!

[ask-parakarry]

"I'm afraid we might've wanted to plan for all of us to leave at the same time. Is there any way any of us could get a hold of Goombario? I'm certain he has one of those fancy Mailbox SPs." Not to say he didn't have one himself, but he preferred not to use it. "Absolutely certain. I have one myself, if any of you folks can remember his email. Otherwise, I don't have much of an idea of what to do besides attempting to talk to the mayor perhaps?"

“No, I really don’t remember much of anything,” Bette said, she jogged quickly after Parakarry to catch up with him and walked quickly to keep up with his longer strides.  ”I’m not so good with direction.   But maybe we can ask someone up here though!”  She said cheerily.   She was in a good mood for now but that would cease to be so if she got too cold.  

[ask-parakarry]

(( I officially have tricked out Parakarry's page for this event so that each partner I reply to gets a special color! I'll add more colors if I need to but this will be here for all rps! So yeah, if any of you guys actually check my blog itself it should be there for any roleplaying posts. 

That's what I got so far. ))

[ask-parakarry]

[/the male spotted the admiral and at first was a bit puzzled, he was certain he didn't see this man at the feast last night! So, so certain. Nevertheless, he decided to approach the bomb-omb trying to put on a warm smile]

Ah, hello there! You wouldn't have happened to just arrive today, would you? I don't reckon I've seen you before.

[/he realizes he might've come off as uncordial and he becomes a bit flustered due to that as he attempts to fix his error]

The name's Parakarry. I deliver letters. Would it be considered rude if I asked you yours?

Well…

> The Admiral clears his throat, wondering if he’d caught a cold in transit.

That took longer than all expected.

> Maybe his skills in navigating needed some shaping up, he was already a day late! Just grand. At least he does eventually find his way to the resort, wandering about inside. Now to find the rooms, before inquiring to anyone what all was happening.

[ask-parakarry]

"Confound it.." He shook his head and gave a huge sigh, looking for the most part elsewhere briefly. It wasn't too long he spoke more directly towards the other two, "I suppose we should start making our way to finding it! Do any of you remember what they said it looks like? I vaguely remember the map to the inside, but otherwise, I wouldn't know.. It's probably a bit aways from the other buildings." He let his wings rest and dropped to the snowy ground, starting to walk away slowly to at least make progress, glancing behind himself.

Bette hugged herself a little.  It was pretty cold here, she hoped she could get used to it! “I’m not sure where it is either…that’s kind of why I wanted to find someone.  Heheh, Do you know how to get there L—Spike.”  She quickly corrected herself as well.  It was hard, he just looked like a Spike!

[ask-parakarry]

Startled at the voice behind him, he spun around. "Woah! Why, hello there 'Bette!" He scratched his head sheepishly and looked to the side, reluctantly nodding, "I guess so. It's quite odd, I would think I'd hear you..." Trailing off, he tried to think as the other spoke but one might've been able to spot the reason as to why he didn't hear her easily and it was right on his ears. Chuckling, he nodded once more but with confidence. "Yeah, I suppose it was a darn good thing you ended up following me. To tell the truth, I'm rather lucky I even remembered where it was! I could've sworn I wouldn't be able to know, but presto!" Shaking his hands about briefly in his period of excitement, he continued, "I found it! Heheh, my luck seems to be turning around for the better. It's been teaching me to stay hopeful, and I'm thankful that it's rubbing off on you! ...At least, sort of, anyway.."

Turning around again, he looked towards his other comrade coming towards him. He gave a smile and waved, "Fancy seeing you here, L- Spike." He quickly corrected himself. "Yes, I was going to make my way towards there, though I was caught up with a little friend of ours. I'm afraid I'm not exactly too sure on how to get there though...," he frowned.

There was some ruckus from the pipe as someone else started to come through right behind him.  A fuzzy white ball popped up followed by the rest of Bette!  She was clad in pink and red winter wear.   “Karry! I’ve finally caught up to you!  I’ve been following you best I could.  I guess you couldn’t hear me calling you…”  that better be the case at least because it was horribly rude to just ignore someone.  Karry wasn’t like that though.  ”It’s a good thing I could follow you though, I’ve been searching all over for that pipe. I couldn’t remember where it was.”

[ask-parakarry]

(( To those of you who follow me and don't want to see the Shiver City stuff, I'd either unfollow me for the weekend or tumblr savior #shivercityball! ;o ))

[ask-parakarry]

The male had flown down to where he vaguely remembered where the pipe to the Shy Guy's Toy Box was. Boy, had it been a while since he'd ever been near this place. Had it been a year or two? He couldn't particularly remember anymore. With only his messenger bag slung across his shoulder, he had made sure to grab all the necessities which turned out to not be too much in the end. Just a few bundles of clothes and a pick-me-up or four. While he was sure he could just go to Shiver City in his normal attire, he had been convinced to go for something slightly warmer just in case. Looking back on it, he had been surprised to find out he could take off two days. It still puzzled him, but he knew for certain he appreciated it. Hopefully the postmaster wouldn't get too busy while he was gone. After a bit of searching, he had at last found the newly installed pipe to Shiver City and took a deep breath. With a little hesitance, he descended down and soon enough he emerged in the snowy town. Now, all he had to do was find the resort. 

[ask-parakarry]

(( Here's his outfit for the Shiver City event! I would've put more cyan since his clothes are supposed to represent his shell but eeeeh ))
