Brida Aiolfi
Inside the Grand Hotel Mohad, Avent City
“Well, sadly, we have no weapons in hand,” Brida said when Rain mentioned their means of success. “Without weapons, all we have are our innate abilities, so I suppose some planning is in order.”
She paused, looking around for something specific.
“What do you say we pick up some muscle?” she asked, spotting a rather loud and muscular man with an afro who was currently arguing fiercely amongst a small group of people. “Afro over there seems like he could use a team. He can do the grunt work, and — worst case scenario — be the last badge,” she said, glancing at Rain with a small smile. “He’ll probably try to steal our badges, but, keeping that in mind, we should be able to knock him out first.”
"Oooo~ not a bad plan." Rain said with a cheery tone. "I'll leave the luring up to you.. beautiful." He winked playfully and glanced at the target
The smile stayed on Brida’s face as she started towards her muscular mark, morphing into a mask of confident apathy in a few more steps. Afro seemed like a man who bowed to strength more than anything else, and Brida could pull off a good bluff any day — not that I’d need it for this one, she thought. A few sweet words should about soften him up.
“Tell me, are you lot blind, or just plain stupid?” Brida said, setting a hand on Afro’s shoulder and arching a brow. “Because there’s a real winner in front of you, yet you all seem to be turning him away.”
“Who’re you?” a man asked. Brida figured him to be the main face of the forming triad.
“Better question,” Brida said, swinging around to face Afro, “who’re you?”
“Metra,” Afro said, grinning.
“Brida,” Brida said, returning his grin. Got you. “Say, Metra, why don’t you join a group that truly values your strength? I have a friend waiting over there — he’s the one that pointed you out,” Brida said, nodding in Rain’s direction, “and we all know that these lowlifes that can’t even understand how much talent you have don’t deserve to be on your team in the first place, so what do you say?”
“I’m going to crush you three when the test starts, so you watch your backs,” Metra said with gusto before turning around to face Brida, the grin still on his face. “Lead the way, little lady.”
Rejoining Rain at the table, Brida met his eyes and relayed silently that patience was needed just as Metra sat down, stirring up a small quake in the immediate vicinity. “Metra,” Brida said with a courteous smile, “meet Rain.”
“Don’t get crushed,” Metra grunted, smirking. “If you two stay out of my way, I’ll help you pass.”
@Rai
@LuckyBlackCat Sounds good to me
@ihinka Same! Well, Gaelic and whatever other names I have on this humungo name list I've compiled. The name hunt is real, but much easier with the advent of the internet's Gaelic baby name lists xD
Aedre Charbonnet
— Mesalon Pokemon Center —“No problem. Glad I could be of help,” Aedre said, meaning it. It always felt good when she could swerve white lies and just tell the truth and have people be happy with that. Somehow, it felt like an invisible burden had been lifted off her even though there was never one to begin with.
When Nyxx introduced herself, Aedre flashed the girl a bright smile. “Hi! I’m Aedre,” she said. “As for the rock- and ground-types, I agree completely. I have a couple Pokeballs stocked up for that very reason, even though the main purpose of this trip is to mine and explore.”
When Rachel handed out the mining kits, Aedre’s eyes rounded, and her curiousity perked its ears. She’d just been handed a set of tools she’d never touched before, another career she’d never explored much, and another life she was about to live.
The life of a spelunker — always in the dark, scouring the crust and below for treasures unseen but present and Pokemon hidden but very much alive, Aedre thought, opening the bag and peering in. Inside was a flashlight, a pickaxe of sorts, a pair of gloves, and a few more things hidden under them.
Aedre’s excitement was mutedly contagious at that point, and it quickly drew her Togepi to her side.
“To, To!” Pasithea said, reaching her arms up and waving them with her face scrunched into a frowning pout.
“Of course! Go ahead and look,” Aedre said, bending down and showing the normal-type the bag of tools.
The metal clinked and clanked as it touched the floor, and Pasithea scrunched her face again, this time with a disapproving and disappointed frown.
“It’s going to be a rough trip, Thea, but I’ll feel much better if you’re with me along the way,” Aedre teased. The Togepi crossed her arms but had refrained from whining to be recalled, and that was enough for Aedre. “Thanks very much, Thea. We can pick up some poffins after — your favorite!”
