Joe eyes Maverick, then eyes Mittens, then turns back to Maverick.  "We are apparently in crazy town."  Oh look, Joe has learned to cope with facepaw.  yeah. great answer there -.-  "I'll get back to you if I find out a more helpful answer."

Maverick swings his tail around and looks in the direction he hears fireball. "...I don't know where I am, much less where the nearest pokécenter is."

He trots over to the other two, keeping some distance from Mittens since she seems... trigger-happy. "My name's Maverick. I don't know how else to say this, but I'm actually a human. Just woke up this way today."

"I'm a...erm... WAS a human too," the torchic answers, "Crazy, hu?  We musta been abducted and stranded here as part of some kind of experiment and now we must fight for survival and freedom!  But our every movement is being carefully watched by the shadow scientists who will test our resolve with diabolical experiments...  Or this could just be a crazy dream.  Either way.  Nice to meetcha!  You can call me Mittens.  So what's the woof-woof go by?  Were you human too?"

  "Yeah, I'm Joe and this kinda blows... Maverick and Mittens?  you sure you weren't Pokemon in the first place?"  We do not talk about Joe's middle name.  Nonstandard middle names totally don't count.

  He considers the tall grass of doom field.  "Yes, a field in the middle of nowhere has so many places to spy from unseen, really."

Maverick says, "Hey... Maverick may not be as common as Joe, but it's a real name. Now Mittens, on the other hand... can't say I've heard anyone named that besides cats. Whatever. We should stick together in any case."

"Hmm.  Well memory is such a fickle thing.  Especially if one's entire biology is fickle and can be changed into something entirely different.  So no I'm not sure if I was a human before.  Are you sure you were human?

"As for places to spy from, you could start with the entire sky.  Ever heard of satellites, Mr. Sarcasm?  If ya wunna stick together, just keep up."

She picks the most adventurous looking direction and starts walking.

  Joe supposes he could blame the schizo tech situation where you are able to store pokemon inside computers, but you can't find a freaking car anywhere to be found for why he didn't bother considering a satellite space program for spying...  You'd think there would be more interest in a space program, but people are probably waiting for a Pokemon they can use to take people into space instead of building rockets.

  "So, how do satellites get into space again?  Because I don't think I've ever heard of a space program on the news.  Though yeah, even though we just met eachother it's probably a better idea to mostly stick together.  She looks like she'd run head first through a minefield though."  After all, that probably would have been the most adventurous direction if there was a 'danger: Minefield' sign.

AAAAAHAHAHAA ERASE, RE-USE, BLARRRRG!

Umm... yeah. so using this existing thread, due to death after 10 posts.

It's a nice day in Spring and Chalice was taking a walk along the cobblestone road in one of the small towns. Her player is to lazy to look up town names today. She goes and orders some ice cream from a vender, this small town having gotten used to the idea of a vaporeon who speaks english.

Joe hanging out with a free range Pidgey was a gimmick that came before superbird.  Alas for said bird, this means less English language access.  That or they are hiding it.  Of course for easy coincidences, Joe also likes icecream, therefore is already there.

  "And now the answer to 'what is a Vaporeon's favorite icecream flavor' is answered."

Chalice smiles at Joe. "I like many flavors. Blueberry is just one of my favorites.. too hard to choose an absolute favorite. How about yourself?"

  Joe shrugs, "Reasonable response, if I can't decide why should you?  Been going for the coffe with choclate syrup more lately."  Philosophical question.  Is there a practical difference between Mocha icecream, and coffee icecream with choclate involved?

  This question has hurt Mako's brain previously.

  "Though it's a shame peppermint is more of a holiday item than normal flavor."

Chalice says, "There is a ma&pop restaurant that serves home made ice cream. There, they sell mint flavor." True story in Waynesboro, where Chalice's player lives. ;) "My name's Chalice. Don't believe we've met?"

  Mint is easy, as is mint chocolate chip.  Peppermint with actual chunks of peppermint involved on the other hand, that's the payoff.  "Hmm, sounds tempting.  Of course, this is closer and we already have icecream. Im assuming the 'it's closer' is why you're here instead of there.  Anyways, I'm Joe.  And yeah I think this is a first meeting."  Unless the time he let her hang out in his cooler and got turned into a Machop actually happened.  Sometimes RPs blur.

That was Azure, who is a glaceon. Easy to understand the mix-up. Chalice nodnods. "Yep. Convenience; it's why Walmart thrives and specialty stores die. So you a local? Or passing through?"

  "Localish, normally on the other side of town.  What about you?"  If the icecream vendor is used to English talking Vaporeon's specifically, odds were good she wasn't from too far off.

Chalice nodnods. "I was raised on the outskirts of town, but I frequent this area of town. Nice to meet you, by the way."

  Joe nods, "Always nice meeting someone friendly, so nice to meet you too."  Joe ate his icecream between posts we swear.  It was that or let it melt.  Hopefully Chalice put the same snacking tactics to use.

She did. What's more, is she doesn't have opposable thumbs, so she had to get her ice cream in a cup. Which she's been lapping up out of. Yum! "So who's that with you?"

  Vendor cart umbrellas make for good perches.  They let you birdstare over their edge down at those who can't fly, Ahahahahaha!  "Pidgey" Translation: Awesome is who he's with.

  Joe meanwhile, comments "I have no idea about them except they like pretzels."

  "Pidgey"  Translation: Pretzels are also awesome.

Chalice asks, <Your name is... Awesome?> which of course sounds like a bunch of vaps and such to Joe. Not that such a name is unusual, just that Chalice wants to clarify. She then adds, <And if I have pretzels when you're near, I'll share.>

"pidgey" Translation: "Of course! It's much more origional and classy than that Meowth calling himself Meowth"  He is a master at the 'small comment, large subtitles' gag.  He once crammed the Gettysburg Address inside a single 'Pidge'.

  "Pidgey" Translation: It is kind of you to offer, I shall keep you in mind next time I annoy Joe enough to get free snacks

  Joe eyes the conversation between the two Pokemon, and asks "So, he's not plotting to take over New Jersey town or something right?"  All locations in Pokemon have either 'town' or 'city' at the end (nevermind we're probably wrong).  So New York City City makes complete sense as another possible location.

Chalice headshakes. "Nope. Just plotting to get snacks. Sometimes, people really are what they seem." she grins at Joe. Finishing her ice cream, she uses her mouth to pick up the cup and throw it away before going to sit next to Joe. "This weather sure has been pleasant..."

  Awesome's habits include, staring, staaaaring, getting wingulls to say 'Yours!', turning up behind people in the next shot/panel out of nowhere.  Extreme dramatic closeups (with which to stare in).  Perching on supervillains in the middle of their rants and laughing, confusing said supervillains because wait they don't have an animal mascot.

  We're lacking evidence about that last one though.

  "Ah, somehow I thought that sentence would be more comforting.  Though yeah, it's always nice when weather isn't lame."  commenting about "T-shirt weather" is likely less relevant to critters that tend to go around without so much as shorts (well, there's those Hitmon's and Jynxes and you know what nevermind).

Chalice is one of the pokemon that usually goes naked. But she isn't naked. And considering how much vaporeon love water, it's anyone's guess why she bothers with non swimwear clothes.
