"S'okay bossman it's already done."

@uptrain is having a problem: ' Do you have a moment, Morgan? I believe I may have upset your sister, Dana, without intention. I was wondering if you knew a way I could rectify this without making her feel she's being subjected to a "pity party". '

'Putain!' Is the first frustrated curse that crosses Morgan's mind upon hearing Ingo's plight. An exasperation extended not at the man himself but rather her own kin and even herself. She knew she should have been keeping a better eye on her sisters and their interactions with business partners. But no she thought they could handle these sorts of important interpersonal relationships themselves. She never should've trusted them with any part of Maison matters. Well at least Evelyn seemed to be getting along with Emmet. That meant they still had one foot in the door in regards to working with the Subway Masters. She could figure something out from there if need be.

She turns to Ingo all grace and serene smiles any hint of the frustration she felt perfectly hidden. She does sigh a little in thought though it's a calculated sound rather then a truly natural sound. "Aw, has Dana flown off the handle again? I'm terribly sorry for that, Monsieur Ingo. She's always been such a hot headed child. Frankly we never know what will set her off."

There was some truth to that at least on Morgan's part. She could never rightly understand Dana's anger. It always felt directed at everyone, everything and nothing in particular. Any attempts she made to understand it were met with nothing but hostility. At one time she could get Dana to talk to her, to tell her where that anger came from. But that was so many years ago she sometimes questioned if the memories of it were even real or just some cruel joke played upon her by the Maisons.

"I wish I could offer better advice but when she's in one of her snits like this, there's simply no getting through to her. She takes everything so personally even when it's not. Don't worry, monsieur Ingo. I'm sure whatever happened she'll bury the hatchet on it in due time." If necessary Morgan would make sure of it.

forget - me - not, peony, rose, southernwood

Flowery Headcanons

forget - me - not :   has your muse ever forgotten something that is or was important to them ?are they afraid of forgetting things like that ?

Yes and no? Peony has forgotten how truly loved he was in his old home. Like yes he was treated less then by his family in favor for his brother. But in reality he WAS loved and that love was there. Peony wanted to forget that really. Because thinking his family just hated him was so much easier then facing the fact that he was loved but his family didn't show it in a healthy way. Now that Rose is back in his life though he is starting to remember the love that his family had for him. He's starting to remember he wasn't just a hated child and that hurts more then if he'd just been hated. Knowing he was loved, that he disappointed his family and broke their hearts crushes Peony. He WANTS to forget that he was loved. At the same time he is afraid of forgetting that because what if it changes him fundamentally? What if he forgets all that love that was there and he's no longer himself? It's a difficult and delicate balancing act he has to grapple with often.

peony :   what would a   ‘  happy life  ’   look like in your muse’s eyes ?

Honestly? The life he's living currently would be a 'happy life' in Peony's eyes. Well minus Rose popping up in it again. But the fact that his kids are healthy, happy and doing well on their chosen life paths. The fact his wife is happy and doing well in her career and the fact he gets to support them all is a perfectly happy life for him. Sure he gets lonely with his family gone a lot and it's not as glamorous or exciting as when he was champion or a gym leader. But he's happy because the people he loves are fulfilling their dreams and living happy lives. Despite spending so much of his life thinking he needed more in order to be happy, he couldn't be happier with his life.

rose :   how much does your muse value other people ?do they wish to have many friends ,   lovers ,   and/or associates ?are they an easy person to love ?

Peony values others SO MUCH. When he was younger he wanted to be adored by everyone if only to fill the void in his heart of feeling unloved by his family. But after his falling out of favor by the Galarian people for hitting Rose he began to realize the importance of a few close people that loved him rather then a hundred strangers that loved him. Even still he values strangers, he values the work they do, the thoughts they share, how people shape the world around. He no longer feels the need to be appreciated by people in order for him to appreciate people. He's now happy with the close friends he has even if it's not a lot though he is quick to make friends and acquaintances due to his fundamental appreciation for people. He can be loud, intense and very in your face. But in all he is an easy person to love because he has so much love and appreciation to give back to the world.

southernwood :   how seriously does your muse take themself ?do they prefer a solemn   &   intellectual atmosphere or do they delight in jokes   &   banter ?

He uses the terms 'Adven-tour', 'Ultra-Mega' as an adjective & 'Noble Roar of Dad' unironically. Peony doesn't take himself seriously at all. He likes being seen as a happy, loud, silly guy and if people make assumptions about him based off that? He'll roll with the punches. He even prefers to be undermined as then people suspect less from him. He loves joking and bantering with others, if anything he gets annoyed by people who take themselves too seriously. For him life is meant to be enjoyed fully as who you are so you can't go around wasting time by putting on airs.

“I was left right at the entrance to the forest. My parents had dropped me there and then told me to stay, so I did.”

they’re sitting in a strange automobile, in this dream. It rumbles and lurches as if it was a ride pokemon, but … it’s not.

They look to the old man sitting next to them, and then back to the inky black windows.

“The pokemon in the forest knew what to do. The caterpie and pikachu told me to follow them, so I did. I couldn’t walk well, so a ratticate carried me. They all talked about how happy they were to finally meet me. That they had been waiting for me.”

It must sound ridiculous to the stranger. But it’s true.

“The forest had been in strife for a long time. Hundreds of years. Before me, before aniki, before Sakaki, before Wilton. Hundreds and hundreds of years, it had been out of balance.

They took me to the Kangaskhan. They’re deep in the forest, where humans can’t go. The Kangaskhan knew what to do with me. They took me in their arms and nurtured me. Fed me milk and berries. Let me sleep in their pouches. They were without their Alpha pokemon — you know what those are, don’t you? — but they were content. And they loved me.

It took several years before I ever saw another human face. And that was a man named Sakaki.”

"Is Emmet his brother's keeper?"

it's okay, guys. gold will protect you from the big bad billionaires if certain train conducters are too big of pussies to do so :)

sometimes love isn't enough.

inquisition party banter.

“... Yeah.”

Although Adaman finds himself agreeing with Ingo’s sentiment without thought, he almost wants to protest. Because it should be enough, shouldn’t it, to care for someone or something enough to help them? To save, to fix, to repair, to —

— to do anything, really.

But instead he stretches his arms above his head in a way to appear casual, collected, and calm. Hands then resting on the back of his own neck, thumbs digging in just to feel some sort of pressure, he turns his eyes back up toward Ingo’s face. Thankfully with the tensions lessened between the clans, he feels less intimidated by the idea of friendship with him — and with that fact in mind, he's got a point to make.

“... But sometimes it’s all we’ve got to lean on. So, better not to waste it.”

' It's admirable how much you hype up your family! A breath of fresh air to see a parent be an active part of their child's life. Far too many overlook the importance of their participation and support. Is there something that inspired you to pour so much passion into your parenting style? '

Family Talk

"Something that inspired me?" The question has Peony laughing as though he's been told a very funny joke. Though he agrees with Ingo's words, there are far too many families who overlook the importance of actively being apart of their families lives. The very idea of him not being so passionately apart of his family's life feels absurd.

"Why my family simply existing inspires me! I'll tell ya, everyday I wake up 'n know my kiddos are out there being their best selves, I'm inspired to support 'em!" His eyes shine with unbridled pride as he speaks and his voice grows louder with excitement at the simple notion of being able to talk about his family. He loved his family, they were the lights of his life, the stars to his night sky, the flowers in his garden. He was lucky enough that he got to choose them. Well sure Peonia was born to him. But she still loved him, more then that she seemed to still like him, even if he annoyed her.

"My daughter 'n I butt heads sometimes but I'm glad she has the courage t' stand up t' me, I'm glad she's comfortable enough t' tell me I'm embarrassin' her. She's becomin' a strong independent lass that doesn' need her pop t' fight any battles for her. Even if it breaks my ol' man heart t' know she's grown up so fast. My other kiddo has the courage t' stand up t' a whole gang a bullies even if the entire school staff is against 'em. Not just for themselves but for others. Not t' mention they got the fortitude t' go back 'n try again. T' admit their mistakes t' those they love 'n make amends. Both my kiddos are some a the smartest, toughest, cutest kiddos in the entire world with righteous hearts. How can that not inspire me t' be the best parent I can be? If I could be even half the parent they deserve, I'd die a happy man."

@uptrain .

" hardly surprising to still find more of your kind rampant in kanto. " said with a matter-of-fact tone, uninterested amber eyes stay steady on ingo - a stranger, enemy - as the rocket uniform is taken into consideration.

since wataru last saw the group even those relatively high up wore outfits not too dissimilar to the regular grunts. white overshirt upon black. not quite the hidden yet grand outfit of a trench coat and hat to match, now in black and reds; but he supposes the years have changed enough, not to mention this was slightly different to what he had grown up with previously.

he knows rocket had mostly taken over parts of kanto and johto at this point. " don't you ever get tired of acting strong, like you're better than everyone else when you're weaker? "

does your muse prefer receiving more practical or fun gifts? for katsumi

does your muse find themselves subconsciously seeking out physical contact? ( ie. reaching for s/o’s hand without realizing it ) for perrin

headcanons based on the 5 love languages [ accepting ]

She much prefers practical gifts. Though the idea of receiving a gift, regardless of intended use, is something she'll always appreciate make no mistake on that. However, the reason she prefers something more practical is because the value and appreciation will be more easily noticed over time. The wear it will gain with repeated use is, to her, akin to the love that is put back into the gift.

There's a beauty in something being loved so much that it begins to age with you over time. Nothing in this world lasts forever. Compare that to a less practical gift that will sit on a shelf, well-preserved but hardly touched? It appeals to her less.

Oh absolutely. Perrin has a tendency of doing this a lot when she's close with someone. A lot of the time it's because she's trying to redirect someone's attention to whatever has grabbed her focus in the moment. Rather than saying something, she'll unconsciously reach out and tug the other person closer to her. Probably a habit she picked up from trying to keep her mouth shut when taking pictures of wild Pokemon and not wanting to scare them off.

But sometimes it's just because she craves that physical contact. If you're close enough, it won't even be a second thought for her to take your hand while you're walking together. As if it's the most natural thing to do in the moment.
