Oh hey, that was the right password.

Did I miss anything?

‘You Did Good’ prompts

“Hey, [name]! That was some nice work out there.” 

“You know, you really… reach people, when you try.”

“You did good. You know that, right?”

“That was impressive.” 

“How did you figure that out?”

“You helped. That’s something to be proud of.”

“It’s okay. Hey, [name]. You’re okay, you did it.”

“It could have been a lot worse. Give yourself some credit.”

“I like you just like this, you know. You don’t have to be perfect.”

“Hey. We did everything we could.”

“They’re safe – hey! They’re safe. Let’s focus on you for a minute, okay?” 

“Everyone’s been evacuated, you were the last out. Let’s get you checked out.”

“You’ve been helping all of them? Alone?”

“Sometimes you do your best work and things are still shitty. That’s just how it goes.”

“I’ve never seen you like that before.”

“You’re not psychic. You couldn’t have known.” 

“I’m right here. You found me in time, I’m right here.”

“It’s over. Hey! It’s over. Everyone’s safe. You did that.”

“These people wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for you.”

“I wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for you.”

“Where did you learn to [fight/issue orders/do first aid/etc] like that?”

“There was nobody in the building, [name]. You got them all out.”

A steel spearhead that's perpetually warm to the touch for Takagi and a bow and quiver for Max

Leave an object in my ask and my muse will react to it being given to them. || ACCEPTING

What an interesting gift. Warm, no matter how much time passes. She had never had to use a weapon before, and she hoped she wouldn't have to start now.

Still, she keeps it on display in her apartment in Mauville Hills, as a reminder of the other worlds that exist.

Much like his sister, Max has never had a reason to use a weapon, and has no idea how he's supposed to properly hold the bow. His first attempt ends when his Banette cackles at him like he'd just played the funniest practical joke in the world.

He keeps it though, tucked safely under his bed at home. Perhaps it's not smart to not take it with him on his adventures, but it would also be dangerous to run around without the knowledge of how to use it, right?

It looks like the Blue Orb from a distance but on closer inspection it's actually a blue glass bottle of fresh fruit juice. It tastes of blueberry.

Leave an object in my ask and my muse will react to it being given to them. || ACCEPTING

Why wasn't that thing on Mount - oh. Oh how strange that the juice had such a close resemblance to the Blue Orb. A sharp exhale escapes her as she approaches the bottle and lifts it into her hands, pouring some into a glass and taking a sip.

Cool and refreshing, just what she needed after a long day of training.

a picture of may, much younger. it looks like it was taken at the beginning of her pokemon journey - for may

Leave an object in my ask and my muse will react to it being given to them. || ACCEPTING

How long had it been since she'd seen that photo?

Much in the same way parents take photos of their children on the first day of the new school year, Caroline had taken one of May the morning she set out on her Pokemon journey.

Her 12 year old eyes are wide in excitement, hands on her hips and heavy bag on her back, the promise of fun and adventure clearly written on her face. A fiery determination, and she could still hear herself say she was going to be Hoenn's next champion.

Hah, and she had. She'd do so many things in her life that being champion sometimes didn't feel like it cracked the top ten. How funny to think that had been her only goal at the start.

"I don't know where you found this," she finally says, looking at the stranger who had given her the photo. "But thank you."

A wooden statue of Kyogre (for May)

Leave an object in my ask and my muse will react to it being given to them. || ACCEPTING

@ambivalentatmosphere

She just kinda... stares at it for a minute. She admires the amount of skill it took to carve this, and all the details are correct, to a perfect degree that has her repressing a shudder.

But she can't bear to stare at it for too long. She hates the curdling in her stomach she feels.

So, as tempting as it is to have Firelight light it on fire, she drops the wooden carving into a box marked "Donations" and makes a mental note to drop it off the next day.

She'd froze.

How had she froze? She never froze when it came to the heat of battle. No, she hadn't been sure what that creature was that had jumped out of the forest, aimed for the maiden conducting the ceremony, but she had her team with her - the now second strongest in Hoenn. She should never have frozen like that. Was it because Johto felt so different compared to Hoenn, where she'd been forced into action due to reasons out of her own control? Or had something in her body finally screamed that she didn't need to fight anymore, after having fought twice in order to save the world?

Either way, May didn't like it.

She adjusted the flower in her hair with one hand, the other still holding the lantern she'd been given. Now that the monster had been quelled, it was time for her to send the lantern out into the darkness. It was strange that, despite the pattern containing Kyogre, May felt no fear when she looked at it as it flickered gently above her with the dozens of others from the people around her.

Her family was small, and her childhood had been relatively peaceful, so as it disappeared above her, she thought of the souls of those that had been lost in Hoenn's Weather Incident, the poor people swept up in flash floods that didn't make sense and never made it to safety in time.

When the lights were gone, May sighed and put a hand on Clover's head, the Meganium of course her companion for a majority of the festival.

"Come on, Clover. Let's head back to the hotel."

[musesbymeri]

"There's so many sponsors for this event! Didn't think people were still interested in old fashioned stuff, still." (Trainer!Monroe with May, and as a bonus, he is Native to Johto)

"Oh, that doesn't surprise me," she replied as she glanced at the man. "Johto's so steeped in tradition that it makes sense that people would flock here for the festival.

However, I do hope that those who came from other regions aren't just looking at this from a tourist perspective and are respectful to the festivities."

There are Haunter floating around her. If it wasn't already chilly in Mahogany Town, goosebumps would have risen up over her flesh and made her cold. Surely it wouldn't be smart to just ignore them - provoking the wrath of Pokemon hadn't ended well for Team Aqua (or her), and while Kyogre was vastly different from a pack of Haunter, May did not want to risk anything going wrong while she was on her much-needed vacation in Johto.

So she holds out the takoyaki she's purchased, but hadn't had the chance to begin eating, as a token of good will toward the Pokemon.
