Crimson Flame

Pokétopian Dreams: Uncharted Waters

Location: Pier

Interactions: Vitesse@Carlyle Sophie @Yankee

At the mention of his Clefable, Jolie let out an excited Clefaaa! and twirled in place, clasping her tiny hands together before curtseying. She was accustomed to admiration, and delighted in it as much as her trainer did.

André though was confused. Most people fixated on him first, but Sophie had immediately honed in on the Pokémon instead. As a matter of fact, most of these people didn’t even acknowledge that they were in the presence of a movie star. He couldn’t help feeling a little hurt by it…

His movies were international hits. His face was plastered across billboards, magazine covers, and perfume ads. His fashion was iconic. And yet… no reaction from any of them. No gasps of recognition, no excited murmurings about being in the presence of the André Bellamy, no requests for selfies. It was as if he were just another passenger on this yacht. It was almost insulting. Did these people not go to movies?

He exhaled through his nose, regained his composure, and smiled. It was fine. He would just have to make sure that by the end of this trip, they wouldn’t forget him.

André let out an exaggerated sigh of relief when the captain finally arrived, placing a hand over his heart. “Ah, enfin! The captain arrives! For a moment I was worried we would have to swim there.”

Jolie mimicked his distress, clutching her tiny hands to her face and letting out a Clefaaa! of faux despair. Equally as dramatic as her trainer.

As the captain flipped through his clipboard, André stepped forward with effortless grace. “André Bellamy,” he declared with a dazzling smile. “Actor, celebrity, icon.” He said almost glaring at the others. Then he gestured to the piles of pink luggage behind him. “Careful with those. They are designer, très cher!” He reached into his pocket, pulled out a wrapped Poképuff, and handed it to the Machamp with a wink. “A little treat for your troubles, hm?”

Jolie crossed her arms, and pouted. Annoyed that her trainer gave a random Machamp a Pokepuff that was meant to be hers.

André caught Jolie’s pout from the corner of his eye and let out a soft chuckle, He gave her an affectionate pat on the head. “Ma chère Jolie,” he cooed. “Do not fret, mon amour. I have plenty more for you.” With a flourish, he produced another Poképuff from his pocket, and gave it to her.

Jolie sniffed indignantly, huffing for dramatic effect before finally accepting the treat, nibbling on it with a satisfied hmph! André chuckled again, standing back up and dusting off his coat.

Crisis averted.

With that settled, André turned back toward the group. “Well, mes amis, it seems our adventure is about to begin!” He cast a knowing glance at Vitesse, lips curling slightly at her clear exasperation. “Oh, Tess,” he said smoothly. “You must try to enjoy yourself. A beautiful voyage awaits! Do not let a small delay ruin the mood!”

Then, spotting Sophie, he extended his hand with a wink. “Would you care to board with moi, ma chérie?”

And now that you know who André is, I can casually name drop him in posts.

I didn’t mean for Julien and André to be so similar, but that’s my niche I guess.

ᴘᴋᴍɴ : Quest for Life and Death

Julien took Bernard’s hand, and shook it. “Enchanté, monsieur Jeanneret. Julien Lafleur.” He introduced himself, with a wide grin. “Model, performer, future star. I have to say, monsieur, you’re quite lucky to be meeting me so early in my career. Soon, I’ll be far too famous for casual museum visits.” He winked. “One day, I will be the next André Bellamy. You’ll be seeing my name up on the marquee!”

Julien blinked at the question, momentarily caught off guard. “Well,” he started, thinking back, “I mean, I’ve always had a certain… presence, but I wouldn’t say I’ve ever made flowers glow before. He smirked. “Turn heads? Absolutely. But this?” He gestured dramatically at the Crystabloom. “New territory.”

He glanced at Bijou, who hovered close to the glass, her tiny body swaying ever so slightly. The little Flabébé chirped softly, tilting her head as if wondering the same thing.

Still, as much as he played it off, Julien couldn’t deny that something about this moment felt significant. “Are you suggesting that flower really might be reacting to me?” He placed a hand on his hip, tilting his head in interest. “Because that would be fabulous if so!”

Auron’s eyes watched Arnvidr as he spoke. The Nord was not wrong, at least academically. In fact, their were several magical institutions across Tamriel that did not explicitly ban necromancy. Even the moral distinctions between death and undeath had always been grey areas. His objections were based on what the act represented.

“I am not naive, Arnvidr.” Auron finally said, his voice calmer, but still sharp. “I know that necromancy is a tool like any other. And I will not pretend that Brigit’s fate concerns me personally. What does concern me,” he stepped forward just enough to close some of the space between them, “is not the act itself, but the precedent we set here. We need to decide what kind of people we are. If we reduce every enemy to a resource… when does it stop? There’s a difference between using it as a tool and choosing it as a punishment. Even in Winterhold, I doubt they condone soul trapping out of spite.”

There was an explosion upstairs, and Poison Oak let out an exasperated sigh as dust rained down. He rubbed his temples in frustration. “Does everyone always operate this recklessly, or is today special?”

At Ethan’s request, Pine extended his senses, vines slithering through cracks and spreading outside the building. His glowing eyes flickered as he detected movement.

“There’s someone at the west service entrance, another by the north exit. I can trap them, but with these people have been cutting my vines, it will not hold forever.” With a flick of his wrist, the vines wove into thick, thorny barricades, cutting off the exits.

Pine scoffed at the announcement of a bomb but said nothing. If it bought them time, so be it.

After Ethan’s display of power, they made it to the rooftop. Pine steadied himself and surveyed the city below. The heroes were regrouping. Police were tightening their perimeter. And for what? A bunch og humans throwing their money to causes that hurt the planet they live on? “I do hope there’s a plan in place, or this bank will be our grave.”

Auron was disgusted. Sure, Brigit was dangerous, and unstable. But Sylruna’s suggestion unnerved him. Treating her like raw material? In Auron’s eyes, that crossed a line. Auron couldn’t stand there and watch this atrocity take place. “No. Absolutely not!” Auron interjected.

He stepped closer to the rest of them. “While I won’t weep for her fate, or suggest she deserves mercy, but this is too far. We are not the Thalmor. Nor are we cultists, reaping souls for Daedric lords.” He sighed. “Do we want to begin this mission by damning ourselves to the same darkness we claim to fight? There is a difference between killing someone, and unmaking them.”

Conner groaned at the announcement. “Yeah, yeah, I heard you…” he muttered.

Adjusting his not up to code uniform, he glanced in the mirror one last time, then he swung the door open. He struck a ridiculous pose in the doorway. “Presenting: Conner Waters, begrudgingly formal but still undeniably hot!” He declared, striking an exaggerated model stance before laughing and giving Wren a once-over. “You on the other hand actually look good. You’re pulling off, I’m here but I’m not happy about it better than me.”

Not wanting to risk being too late, he stuffed his hands into his pockets and started toward the door. “C’mon, let’s get this over with before they send out a search party. Maybe we’ll get lucky and the ceremony will have snacks.” Then, after a moment, he smirked over at her. “And if not… well I always come prepared.” He tapped his blazer pocket, and you could hear the crinkling of a hidden bag of goldfish crackers.

Together, they stepped out the door, and he walked towards the Auditorium,

Calling All Heroes and Villains!

I’m still around. Just need to figure out what I should have Pine do.

How many RPs do you have at the same time?

I’m in 9 rn. They’re never active at the same time, and I have no life

Uh… somewhere. 😅
