01 [ACTION]

[bestsweater]

[There is a giant, living boulder...thing on campus. It's snake-like in appearance and is just kind of milling about, sticking its giant rock nose into bushes, peering into second-story windows, leaving the campus lawn all torn up in its wake. Hey man, you can't be a massive stone-serpent and not leave a some kind of trail. It's around various places all day, and very clearly seems to be giving the place a once-over.

One might easily ignore the young man that accompanies this gargantuan creature (or is it the other way around?) if not for the fact that he is wearing an obnoxious shade of bright orange. Still, it might take you a few moments to notice him, given the sheer size of his rock-like companion. He carries a backpack, and a map which he refers to every so often.

What is most interesting about this duo, perhaps, is the fact that they seem to be actively conversing, albeit in different languages. Occasionally this mysterious arrival hitches a ride on his stony friend along their self-guided tour. It's obvious that they're evaluating the school with a sort of non-verbal running commentary, perhaps looking for a familiar face or two.

[BROCK also used DOUBLE TAKE because what the hell is THAT thing. Okay, obviously it's not a Pokemon because it's speaking English and that is even MORE disconcerting.]

It's...Onix.

What are you?

[It doesn't seem to be attacking, so Fang's a bit less concerened with it.] Ooo...Kay. Thanks fer...that. Guess that'd really help if I knew what th' heck an "Onix" was.

Me? What, ya dunno a wolf when ya see one?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

He's a Pokemon.

Well uh. Yeah, I'd like to think I do...but...

[He trails off. Awkwaaaaard.]

Oh. Oh! Yeah, can't take two steps without runnin' into one'o'them Pokemon 'round here. Jus' didn't know they got so...big.

But what? I mean, I got some weasel in me too. That fetchin' tail's gotta come from somewhere, after all...

Ah well. Ya hang around here much, you'll be meetin' some real animals, 'stead of them...creatures.

Really? I can't say I've had that happen yet.

Right. Gotcha. [Onix looks very displeased at being called a creature.] You are?

[Fang shrugs. It's not his problem, and besides, he's a bit more interested with the swath of destruction he hadn't noticed for the giant rock snake thing...Impressive.]

Fang. Fang th' Sniper. And that thing that jus' tore the place up is Onix. And you are...?

[He offers a tentative hand!]

Brock. It's uh...nice to meet you.
