[OOC] Sapphire Roses

[Genkai]

SO she's a grass pokemon? An underrated type if you ask me. :3

I luff Bulbasaur~

As Kurama pointed out, for now gym will keep her in shape but we may need to do something outside of school at some point. Or mention it at least. Like them going jogging somewhere or lifting weights every once in a while? In regards to my post, should I sum up what they discovered about her powers over the next day or few days? Did we have a next point of interest after her discovering her power? Did we want them to pay Genkai a visit yet?

[SoleAccord]

Well to be fair, Kurama is also a grass type lmao. He's just super into Attack and Special Attack moves, and that Speed stat ain't nothin' to fuck with. Botan's gotta work on her stats too. She's like level 5. Koenma gave Kurama a level 5 Botan lmao. Botan's a grASS type ;333 lmao I'm done now xD

Bulbasaur's the shit but if we're being real, all Gen 1 starters are dope as fuck.

A local fitness center can help with building her speed. Stamina is more important than strength right now, because Botan's not someone who will rely on physical strength a lot, at least not in the beginning. Kurama needs her stamina built, because training steadily becomes more and more rigorous, and she has to be able to endure a lot in a day because this is basically cramming in a lot of training in a short amount of time. On top of schoolwork, his training is going to leave her exhausted X.X I would say just sum up the uses her spiritual energy has with the rose like you said--and strongly consider giving her the powder and spore moves lmao come on that's funny.

Paying Genkai a visit would probably be a weekend trip, wouldn't it? Genkai doesn't seem like she has the patience to train someone for only an hour or two a day, but maybe for Botan she'll make an exception because she's a sweetheart? Paying Yusuke a visit, since we left him there for training, would also be a nice additional cameo.

[Genkai]

I figured paying Genkai a visit would be more of a social call since I don't see her and Genkai wanting to deal with a teacher/student dynamic on top of their friendship. If anything, Botan would care for advice and to check in than outright have Genkai train her. Botan is confident in Kurama's abilities as is and he's probably a far better candidate for overseeing Botan than Genkai since he already works with plants and such.

I could take us to the weekend though (the crux of my question being what next?) after summing up the conditioning that has been going on but it'll probably start off more gradual. As you said, as the training continues, it will progress and pose more challenges in terms of spirit strain and physical strain. Botan is tough but I doubt she's in great physical shape. XD

Hopefully she can still munch on cake. Botan looooves her sweets.

Also, kudos on the extra mile.

[SoleAccord]

...That and Yusuke's there, YAAAAAAAAAAY lol sorry I noticed there was no Yusuke hype xD but good points. Genkai was perfect for Yusuke, but I think Botan would die within an hour X.X

The weekend was reserved for running into Kuwabara before, wasn't it? We still needed Botan to also give Kurama an answer. Would going to the mall and encountering Kuwabara be a good enough advance for us, or should DRAMA happen on Friday, you think? What would you make Harry and Hermione do in this situation, hm?

There will be celebratory cookies made when she reaches a milestone in her training. Kurama is a merciful mentor!

Thanks. Takes a lot out of you!

[Genkai]

We could have them visit Genkai (and Yusuke~) on Friday and have them go to the mall on Saturday and end up running into Kuwabara, though what did you want to happen? Just a brief cameo of him with his sister?

Harry and Hermione would be snogging by the lake or a fireplace. XD Totally different love birds I'd say.

We may need to use another portion of the CS tab for our plot ideas so they're in one place. It's a shame we couldn't edit one post and share it. :|

[SoleAccord]

Sounds good. As for anything happening, no, just a cameo. Kurama is overkill enough at this point. Adding Kuwabara means nothing short of Karasu/Elder Toguro is going to threaten them. It's just so that someone from their 'team' knows how close Kurama and Botan seem to be, which leads to Kuwabara asking some questions and Shizuru teasing Botan. On the way home we can generate some kind of action for them. Maybe not imps, but something a bit more threatening? Do you know how HARD it is to make anything challenging when Kurama is a friggin GOD!? XDDD

Well our Demon Reaper combo can snog at some point by a lake or a fireplace. All in good time!

I agree. Or at least list our options we come up with at the time. We are super fickle about our plans. Don't know if you noticed, but our minds change sometimes XP

[Genkai]

Minds are evil but they are prone to change, but it's hard enough sorting through our gorgeous OOC looking for our ideas.

Maybe Shizuru will offer some Botan some flirty fashion tips or something. Though Shizuru doesn't seem very fashionable, it could be something like suggesting Botan wear a certain color. XD And yeah something on the way home...maybe some kind of lost animal they agree to locate for an old lady maybe? It almost sounds like Kurama should get sick so Botan can take care of him and also get some of the spotlight. XD

Botan would totes be on the Kurama train. Choo choo~

[SoleAccord]

That's true. How would you want to do it, then? Do we just take turns outlining possibilities and the decided schedule in two separate posts?

Shizuru doesn't come off as flirty, just very mature for her age. Botan could learn SOMETHING from her, I'm sure. Maybe they go off together, leaving Kurama and Kuwabara to catch up, and Botan returns with a certain bag that she gets flustered about if he asks. Save it for a 'special occasion' for a 'special someone' type of bag, wink wink. Kurama, certified legendary bandit bad ass, being nursed back to health via an adorable reaper. I think he'll be okay with that, but only because it's Botan xD maybe he does catch something. Botan's healing powers can make his...cold or fever or whatever go away in no time! And possibly soup is made >.>

Given their history and familiarity, you could say she's the conductor and sole passenger.

[Genkai]

It's tricky. Hmm...you could have a post in the CS tab with your ideas and then I'd have one and we'd be able to sort of edit and say which we're doing most recently and which are still in discussion? That's what you meant right?

Her healing might not be able to mend a cold or fever this early. But I could see it diminishing the effects of his symptoms. Plus it gives Botan more time to dote on her sick patient. I know Botan is probably going to show signs soon of her depression. Oh we also needed to work out the details for our lackey since he is gonna be coming into the spotlight a little more. And yes, Botan would make a wonderful soup for Kurama, ensure he had ultra fluffy pillows and takes a hot soothing bath~

She better be! Now I imagine her in some cute conductor hat...>___>

[SoleAccord]

Yeah, something like that. I don't want to give you the responsibility on your own, so I'd like to help. I can create the lackey within the next couple of days with a small template. Shouldn't be difficult. But the important thing is just finding a schedule and highlighting our key points in the roleplay. We'll start with idea listings and just put it all together when we can.

Oh gosh don't prepare a bath, that'll be embarrassing for him >.< it gives Botan a reason to be close to him. At the very least, maybe she can use her abilities to try and prevent his ailment from affecting her, so her being around him isn't a threat to her own health.

[Genkai]

We can work on the details over the next few days for sure, no rush there. For now we do have some cute fluff between us and the next school week.

Oh giving herself some immunity would be pretty cool. That's an interesting approach, I like it. I think I have a good grasp to transition us to Genkai's temple. I have a feeling Yukina may be hanging out there too since I think Genkai did take the girl under her wing too. But I can take her or leave her. ^^;

[SoleAccord]

There's honestly so much fluff that I can't keep track of it all, Gen. That's how FLUFF we make shit lmao.

Genkai being a mother figure to Yukina? Aww! Yusuke could use her presence. Genkai's his mentor but sometimes she really does tick him off and he'll need a soothing presence after one of her rantings about how much of a dimwit he is or something xP uh, you remember the little Yusuke and Genkai thing we talked about a while back? Did we want Genkai to be young as a reward for her good deeds, and for the Yusuke thing to happen?

[Genkai]

Never too much fluff. XD

Yusuke and Yukina bonding might be fun to flesh out or mention. Suck it, Hiei. Let's hope Yusuke doesn't let slip who her brother is. I think when they run into Kuwabara and Shizuru at the mall, Botan will have to mention having seen Yukina, if she and Kuwabara are still a thing. I figure they might be. And Genkai being young would be a nice perk, though I'm still not sure if we wanted to go for anything explicit with her and Yusuke, I think it's still to early to make that decision.

You should be in bed, mister. Go on, shoo!

[SoleAccord]

Oh, shit. Yukina doesn't know Hiei is her brother? I completely forgot that detail. I think he did it so she wouldn't suffer knowing who he truly was or something? I would prefer Kuwabara still keep Yukina close in his heart, seeing as we have nothing more for them in mind thus far for the plot. Goshikuro only wants Yoko; a surefire way to piss off Hiei and Kuwabara is to take Yukina too. For Yusuke, it's Keiko, but he'd go into the fire for Botan and the others too. And okay on the explicit thing, we can come back to it.

Fuck sleep. I'll sleep when I'm dead.

[Genkai]

I never really understood Hiei's reasoning. I think he hated who he was/what he's done and wanted to keep Yukina out of his mess. Or something. I didn't care enough to think hard about it. Goshikuro knows Kurama's weakness is his friends/family but I think Goshikuro wouldn't provoke Yusuke or Hiei or Kuwabara since it's more of a personal matter than anything else. But to really stab the knife in, he will probably ensure Botan is kept away from the final fight. Hopefully he doesn't know about her budding powers (pun unintended).

You should sleep though, it'll probably be a few hours before this post is up. ^^;

[SoleAccord]

Yukina is pure and a complete contrast to Hiei, who feeds off of a bloody battle and the suffering he causes his opponents. He probably didn't want her feelings on what he was on his heart. Proving Yusuke and Hiei makes the fight even harder, but maybe he's amped up enough to where he makes Toguro look like a joke. Once Yoko knows it's him, I think Kurama will go to Koenma and ask to take Botan off the case, possibly behind her back (we need a smidge of angst!) which makes her feel betrayed, and like Kurama doesn't believe in her.

I'm not staying awake just for you ;3 I'm writing a post for someone else. You and that other person have some things in common, and one of them is replying quickly lol.

[Genkai]

Ooh the idea of Kurama going to Koenma behind Kurama's back would be pretty fun for some angst. It's coming from a good place but still pretty sneaky of Kurama, intention aside. We should def do that!

And alright, as long as you get your rest.

[SoleAccord]

AND KOENMA DOES IT AND THEN BOTAN JUST POUTS AT HOME ALL THE TIME AND IGNORES KURAMA AND SHIORI IS ALL, "What did you do, Shuichi?" and Kurama's all, "I know what I did, mother. I'll... make it right somehow." Oooooh the SHAMEEEEE!!! But hey, their first big fight. Cute, eh?

When I'm dead! We just had this talk Gen, gosh!

[Genkai]

Their first fight. D'aww. Botan will be pretty ticked off he didn't go directly to her. On one hand she'll understand the danger but she would wanna be talked to like an equal, not like she's weak or anything. And I think that's touching a sore spot for Botan, she fells inadequate to Kurama and the guys already. She knows she shouldn't get involved with Goshikuro herself but she loves Kurama, she wants to be his sweet guardian angel~

Noooo, sleep is good and beautiful and you have dreams that inspire RP stuffs. <333

[SoleAccord]

He had his reasons, just as Botan has her reasons for being upset with him. But Botan hasn't seen this guy and what he's capable of. She thinks Toguro was bad? She doesn't know terror like him. It'll be a heated argument that may end in some consoling on both sides. Kurama's afraid. He has a lot to lose, while Goshikuro has nothing he could lose.

BLEGH, I'll sleep later darn it! >.< we can inspire with dreams laterrrrr.
