  1. [03:22] <~Maus_Riverbed> Date is January...
  2. [03:22] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d4+10
  3. [03:22] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, 1d4+10: 14 [1d4=4]
  4. [03:23] <~Maus_Riverbed> ...Okay, so I guess this is midday on the fourteenth which makes it like a full week since Trevor and Maus met.
  5. 01[03:23] <Trevor> Really? :/
  6. 01[03:23] <Trevor> Couldn'ta been lesser? :/
  7. [03:24] <~Maus_Riverbed> It can be earlier if you'd rather
  8. [03:24] <~Maus_Riverbed> I'm not picky on the day too much?
  9. 06[03:24] * Trevor pushes it back one day.
  10. [03:25] <~Maus_Riverbed> Okay so it's actually January 13th, someone played the song of time
  11. [03:25] <~Maus_Riverbed> ...Still midday or?
  12. 01[03:26] <Trevor> 1d2
  13. [03:26] <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, 1d2: 1 [1d2=1]
  14. 01[03:26] <Trevor> Morning?
  15. 01[03:26] <Trevor> ( Actually evening sounds more hysterical )
  16. [03:26] <~Maus_Riverbed> Evening it is.
  17. [03:28] <~Maus_Riverbed> Hell it's probably fairly late in the evening when Maus finally works up the damn courage to do something and works his way into the hotel, hunting down Trevor's room.
  18. [03:28] <~Maus_Riverbed> And standing outside it for like five minutes fidgeting before knocking.
  19. 01[03:30] <Trevor> Maus can hear some faint yelling, although not really yelling so much as it is just Trevor talking to ... Someone rather angrily. A constant shuffling and rustling can be heard before the locks on the door can be heard sliding and moving around. Trevor pops his head out of the door as it finally opens a short bit later. "Oh, hello again, Maus. Excuse me just a moment, would you?"
  20. 01[03:31] <Trevor> He then pops back in, leaving the door ajar to run back into the room. More shuffling and moving, and . . . Thumping? Can be heard.
  21. [03:31] <~Maus_Riverbed> "I, uh... sure?" Maus returns to his duty of standing outside, but can't help his curiosity and peeks in a little.
  22. 01[03:32] <Trevor> Inside, Maus can see Trevor in his pajamas, struggling desperately to get his blazer on. "No, Abe... This isn't an appropriate time... Go help Conor and Trudy wash up in the bathroom or something, please!"
  23. 01[03:32] <Trevor> 1d20-3
  24. [03:32] <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, 1d20-3: 17 [1d20=20]
  25. 01[03:33] <Trevor> (That was for DEX)
  26. 01[03:34] <Trevor> He was (hopefully) able to get his blazer on before Maus had peeked in, and having done so he rushes back to the front door. "I apologize for that... I wasn't quite expecting company so late."
  27. [03:34] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d20-3 Similarly...
  28. [03:35] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, Similarly...: -2 [1d20=1]
  29. 01[03:35] <Trevor> (Lolnoep)
  30. 01[03:35] <Trevor> (Whatever that was, NOEP)
  31. [03:35] <~Maus_Riverbed> (AGH CUSTOMERS)
  32. 01[03:36] <Trevor> ( It's okay. Not like I won't be up ALL NIGHT LONG! )
  33. 03[03:36] * CecilHoshino (ae06e570@sux-D7D2E6A7.mibbit.com) has joined #AlthoRegion
  34. 03[03:39] * DiceMaid-9001 is now known as Jessie
  35. 03[03:39] * Jessie is now known as Meowth
  36. 03[03:39] * Meowth is now known as DiceMaid-9001
  37. [03:39] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Okay there phew)
  38. [03:40] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus' peeking into the room was pretty obvious. Nothing stealthy about him. "Sorry, I guess... it is kinda late, huhn."
  39. 01[03:41] <Trevor> "Regardless, you've already established your presence. Might as well show you in."
  40. [03:42] <~Maus_Riverbed> "I, uh, it's okay, it's not really like I plan to be here long... or anything." Fidgetfidget
  41. 01[03:42] <Trevor> He opens the door wide open, and Maus can see... Oh wow, the room looks like it's been completely run through. All of the sheets are a mess, several plants and a chair are completely knocked over... The TV's knocked off its stand and is resting on the floor... It looks like an . . . Elephant . . . trampled the place.
  42. [03:43] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus does not at all seem bothered by any of this as he walks in. Also we're going to mention Loot being atop his head at this point because he was clearly there the whole time.
  43. [03:43] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I guess it's not a bad room..."
  44. 01[03:44] <Trevor> "It was a lot more organized when I first arrived... But Abe insisted on wreaking havoc upon the room like anything else I have a vested interest in maintaining."
  45. [03:44] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Abe? You're living with someone?"
  46. 01[03:46] <Trevor> "Well, sort of..." A jet stream of water can be seen shooting out from down a small hallway, and a soaked Teddiursa is blasted into the wall as a result of it.
  47. [03:48] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Uh? Oh!" Maus hurries over to the Teddi and starts checking it over. "Hey, little guy, you okay?"
  48. 01[03:49] <Trevor> Trevor sighs. "Abe, I told you to help them clean up, not blast a hole through them." He then heads over to the Teddiursa to check on him as well. Hopefully he's not too hurt by the impact.
  49. [03:49] <~Maus_Riverbed> Loot flutters from Maus' head and takes a perch on the highest point in the room, observing the trainwreck of a room.
  50. 01[03:51] <Trevor> The highest point in the room would happen to be the TV, slanted on its side and over the edge of the dresser. Peering around the room, it can see the whole room is in a state of disarray, and it can see the Donphan in the bathroom, laughing at the Pachirisu inside.
  51. [03:52] <~Maus_Riverbed> Loot eyes Abe mischeviously, taking a battle pose - until Maus, without even looking up, "Don't even think about it, Loot."
  52. 01[03:52] <Trevor> 1d20+2
  53. [03:52] <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, 1d20+2: 21 [1d20=19]
  54. 01[03:53] <Trevor> "He doesn't seem to be terribly hurt...", Trevor says after giving Conor a good going over.
  55. [03:54] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Abe's a Pokemon, right?" Maus ruffles the teddy's hair, and stands up to go searching for him. Oh, hey, not hard to find at all. "...The big one, right?"
  56. 01[03:54] <Trevor> "Yes, that's Abe. He's always been mischevious, but lately he's been acting out far too much."
  57. 01[03:54] <Trevor> 1d20-3
  58. [03:54] <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, 1d20-3: 13 [1d20=16]
  59. 01[03:55] <Trevor> He ducks to avoid a jet spray of water that Abe fires at him in response to that comment.
  60. [03:55] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Has he? Hm." Maus tilts his head a little, then grins and hurries over to Abe. "Hey!"
  61. 01[03:57] <Trevor> "I'd... suggest taking caution around him. He can be quite reckless." The Donphan simply stares (down?) at the boy with the crazy hairdo standing in front of him.
  62. 01[03:58] <Trevor> (How tall are Donphan, anyways, and how does he even fit in the bathroom? :P)
  63. [03:58] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Oh? He sounds like fun!"
  64. [03:58] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Donphan are actually kind of small if I remember)
  65. [03:58] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Or smaller than you'd think)
  66. 01[03:58] <Trevor> ( Yeah, like a meter and small change in height. )
  67. [03:59] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Yeah, three and a half feet tall)
  68. [03:59] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Still a little big to be loose in a hotel room but)
  69. [03:59] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus reaches out to pat Abe on the head.
  70. 01[03:59] <Trevor> ( Let's just ignore the elephant in the room... )
  71. 01[03:59] <Trevor> [ Roll a CHA check Maus ]
  72. [04:00] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d20+3 Maus has the charisma. Also Playtime feature :3c
  73. [04:00] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, Maus has the charisma. Also Playtime feature :3c: 11 [1d20=8]
  74. 01[04:01] <Trevor> "I wouldn't quite do that if..." Trevor tries to object, but it's too late. Maus is already touching the Donphan, and surprisingly not being impaled with Ice Shards or mowed down. Abe seems to enjoy it a little.
  75. [04:02] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Hm? Why not? He seems nice!" Maus hugs the Donphan's snout in greeting.
  76. 01[04:03] <Trevor> "I... I don't quite know what to make of this," he says. "Abe's usually a lot more aggressive... Though that may just be reflecting my personal experience with him..."
  77. 03[04:03] * CecilHoshino (ae06e570@sux-D7D2E6A7.mibbit.com) has left #AlthoRegion
  78. 01[04:03] <Trevor> (Int 4... This sounds reasonable enough... I hope.)
  79. [04:03] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Oh. ...Maybe he thinks you're weak?" Maus seems to be almost asking that directly to Abe.
  80. 01[04:04] <Trevor> Abe lifts up his snout as Maus goes to approach it, but not to thwack Maus over the head. Instead, he turns on the faucet with his trunk, then fills a cup of water to give to him.
  81. 01[04:05] <Trevor> "Perhaps... Though I can't quite blame him. I've been bowled over far more times than one could count by him."
  82. [04:05] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Aww, thanks," Maus smiles, patting him in thanks. He looks back over his shoulder at Trevor. "I guess... you don't exactly look the sturdiest, no. No offense!"
  83. [04:05] <~Maus_Riverbed> Like Maus looks any sturdier.
  84. 01[04:06] <Trevor> ( Lies. He's totally more durable than Trevor. xP )
  85. [04:07] <~Maus_Riverbed> (He probably is but he looks slightly undernourished and being androgynous on top of that doesn't help much for looking tough, on top of not having grown very tall etc)
  86. 01[04:08] <Trevor> "Not terribly so," he sighs, then rolls up his left sleeve to show. It doesn't even look like there's much more than a thin coat of flesh hugging his bone structure.
  87. 01[04:08] <Trevor> (Referring to his arm)
  88. [04:09] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Well, you'll just have to prove it to him somehow," Maus nods sagely.
  89. 01[04:10] <Trevor> "I was almost hoping that enduring his trampling would be proof enough at this point."
  90. [04:11] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Well, I'm sure you'll find a way. I don't think Abe dislikes you though; otherwise he probably would've just run away."
  91. 01[04:12] <Trevor> [Roll a WIS check Maus]
  92. [04:13] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d20-1 Oh hey Maus' WIS -isn't- absolutely atrocious right
  93. [04:13] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, Oh hey Maus' WIS -isn't- absolutely atrocious right: 8 [1d20=9]
  94. 01[04:15] <Trevor> "At this point, I merely think I'm his source of enter-" This statement is abruptly interrupted by the Donphan, having maneuvered around Maus somehow, blasting Trevor with a huge jetstream of water... Leaving Trevor soaked, bashed up against the wall, and what's that thing on the floor there?
  95. [04:16] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Abe!" Maus scolds the Donphan, then hurries to Trevor's side. "Hey, you alright?"
  96. 01[04:16] <Trevor> Abe releases a victorious roar.
  97. [04:16] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus looks back to Abe. "If you do that again, I swear."
  98. 01[04:16] <Trevor> "I'll... I'll be fine. This is far from the norm."
  99. 01[04:17] <Trevor> isn't *
  100. 01[04:18] <Trevor> 1d20-3
  101. [04:18] <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, 1d20-3: 2 [1d20=5]
  102. 01[04:18] <Trevor> Trevor tries to pull himself back up off the ground, but its being slippery and wet causes him to flounder about like a beached fish.
  103. [04:19] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d20+1 strength to help him up?
  104. [04:19] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, strength to help him up?: 15 [1d20=14]
  105. 01[04:19] <Trevor> (Which arm are you grabbing him by?)
  106. 06[04:19] * ~Maus_Riverbed takes Trevor's arm and hoists him up. Assumedly by the one that's still attached that Maus can see since I'm guessing the other got knocked off
  107. 01[04:20] <Trevor> "Oh... I appreciate the assistance, Maus."
  108. 01[04:21] <Trevor> He uses what little force his arm can provide to assist himself on the way up.
  109. [04:22] <~Maus_Riverbed> "No problem," Maus nods, looking Trevor over. "You sure you're alright?"
  110. 03[04:23] * TheBMW (TheBMW@sux-270E1548.hrbgpa.east.verizon.net) has joined #AlthoRegion
  111. 01[04:23] <Trevor> "I'll be fine, more or less. Is there an issue?"
  112. [04:23] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d20-1 Let's see if Maus catches on
  113. [04:23] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, Let's see if Maus catches on: 14 [1d20=15]
  114. 01[04:24] <Trevor> He then looks around, noticing the problem (that his ARM got knocked out... AGAIN...) almost immediately before his face turns bright red.
  115. [04:24] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Uh..." Maus blinks suddenly, stepping back nervously.
  116. [04:25] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Your, uh. Your ARM" necessary capitals are necessary. "Is that your..."
  117. 01[04:25] <Trevor> "Well, umm... This is rather, uh... Abe, go back to your..." He stops after realizing his hotel suite is a single room other than the bathroom.
  118. [04:26] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus is suddenly leaning into Trevor's personal space. Very much so. He looks a little panicked.
  119. 01[04:27] <Trevor> "My arm? Um, yes... Er, no... Er... Well, sort of..." He's becoming visibly flustered as he removes his blazer (so as to help him put his arm back in its socket).
  120. [04:29] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus is openly staring. And then he's helping Trevor with a sort of wild look about him. "Y-you're not entirely some kind of doll or something... are you!?"
  121. 02[04:29] * zoofman (durrhurr@sux-D3486381.hsd1.va.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: )
  122. 01[04:30] <Trevor> "A doll? No, no... Not at all!"
  123. 01[04:30] <Trevor> Abe can be heard chuckling at Trevor's expense as he flails about with the arm. You'd think that for as many times as his arm's been forcefully removed from him this past week, he'd be more adept at reinserting it by now.
  124. [04:30] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus does not seem convinced and is getting rid of Trevor's blazer (And anything underneath if applicable) to make sure the rest of his joints aren't secretly mannequin ones.
  125. 01[04:30] <Trevor> ( . . . )
  126. [04:31] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Y-you'd better not be lying to me...!"
  127. 01[04:32] <Trevor> "I'm not ly- What are you doing?!?" He shouts in surprise as he suddenly feels hands grabbing onto him.
  128. [04:33] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus seems to need a moment before he decides Trevor really is in the clear - and then realises he's been stripping a boy his own age down by force and turns the most red.
  129. [04:33] <~Maus_Riverbed> "I, uh, I, th-that is, uh."
  130. 06[04:35] * ~Maus_Riverbed has turned into a stuttering wreck. Also has not moved.
  131. 01[04:37] <Trevor> "That was, err, rather unexpected..." he says, trying to process what the hell just happened as he attempts to fix his disshevelled mess. Considering his shirt was most likely torn off in the mess anyways, he fumbles about nervously before finally plugging the mannequin arm back in the hole. He starts to move it around a bit to make sure it's working again (Not that it shouldn't be working since it operates on TELEKINESIS, but anally paranoid boys don't think logically when stressed)
  132. 01[04:39] <Trevor> "That... I think that should do it..."
  133. [04:40] <~Maus_Riverbed> "I, uh... I'msorry," Maus quickly pulls back from Trevor and turns around, seated on the ground, looking down at the floor and trying to hide the fact he's blushing so hard he might be glowing.
  134. [04:41] <~Maus_Riverbed> "I, I didn't mean to--I mean, I just kinda panicked there..."
  135. 01[04:42] <Trevor> "It's... Alright. Not like I haven't had worse experiences with that before."
  136. [04:42] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Oh, oh jeez, I'm so sorry." Maus freaks out a little, balling up a little harder. "I... I wouldn't dare..."
  137. 01[04:45] <Trevor> Trevor takes a moment to get the rest of his clothes, if not at least his shirt, back on... But he can't help but peer into Maus' mind to see what HE's freaking out about. It's not like he's the one who just had his arm fall off in front of company.
  138. 01[04:45] <Trevor> (Telepathy.)
  139. [04:46] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus' interpretation of 'I've had worse experiences with that' is apparently a little more adult.
  140. 01[04:46] <Trevor> ( . . . )
  141. 01[04:46] <Trevor> ( . . . )
  142. [04:47] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Maus is wonderfully skilled at misinterpreting things)
  143. 01[04:47] <Trevor> (Excuse me a moment while I figure out what Trevor's reaction to this mental image is... Considering he's most likely never been exposed to anything nearly that sexual before.)
  144. [04:48] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Maus is probably just thinking the terminology, thankfully for Trevor's sanity)
  145. 01[04:49] <Trevor> (Any chance you can be more specific so I can compile a better response?)
  146. [04:49] <~Maus_Riverbed> (I suppose the best way to put it is his thought process is "Oh god did he think I was trying to rape him wait did someone already do that oh god that i'm such a terrible person D: " )
  147. 01[04:51] <Trevor> Trevor... pokes Maus to get his attention after reading that... Yeah, why DID he pull that out from him? "Um, excuse me, Maus... Are... You alright, there?"
  148. [04:52] <~Maus_Riverbed> "W-why are you worried about me, a-are you alright?" Maus can't work up the courage to turn to face him or maybe he just doesn't want to.
  149. 01[04:54] <Trevor> "I'm fine... Really, this sort of thing happens all the time. It's nothing to be concerned about."
  150. [04:56] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Th-that's something to be concerned about I should think!"
  151. 01[04:56] <Trevor> "Well, my arm falling out, anyways... Mostly Abe's fault, but lately others have been assuming the position as well."
  152. [04:56] <~Maus_Riverbed> "--Oh."
  153. [04:56] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus totally misses the point for about a moment and then shakes his head clear, trying to get back to his senses.
  154. 01[04:58] <Trevor> "Are you... Sure nothing's wrong, Maus?"
  155. [04:59] <~Maus_Riverbed> "N-no, nothing," Maus shakes his head and stands back up. trying to cool down the blush that's overtaken him.
  156. 01[05:00] <Trevor> 1d20+2 Would Trevor notice he's blushing?
  157. [05:01] <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, Would Trevor notice he's blushing?: 7 [1d20=5]
  158. 01[05:01] <Trevor> (Probably not...)
  159. 01[05:04] <Trevor> "Very well, then..." He says, a little bit slowed and hesistant as his eyes dart about the room, looking for something to possibly shift the conversation away from his arm or what he saw in Maus' head.
  160. [05:04] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus fidgets a little, then finally gets ahold of himself. "Uh, o-oh right, I totally forgot why I came here in the first place..."
  161. 01[05:06] <Trevor> "Uh, right... I was somewhat wondering why you would have shown up here so late."
  162. [05:08] <~Maus_Riverbed> "W-well, that's just..." he doesn't answer that question and instead faces Trevor, blush mostly gone. He starts digging in a pocket in his baggy pants and pulls something out. "Here."
  163. [05:08] <~Maus_Riverbed> It's... money?
  164. 01[05:08] <Trevor> "Oh, you didn't have to do that."
  165. 01[05:09] <Trevor> "I already said, it was the least I could do to apologize for my friends' rude behavior earlier."
  166. [05:10] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Well, I'm doing it anyway." He grabs for Trevor's hand to force the money into it.
  167. 01[05:10] <Trevor> (Which hand?)
  168. [05:10] <~Maus_Riverbed> (His normal one)
  169. 01[05:12] <Trevor> Trevor takes the money, but not before quickly handing it back to Maus. "I insist that you hold onto the money."
  170. [05:14] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus sticks his hands into his pockets. "I'm not gonna be indebted to anyone, okay? A-and I don't like taking charity..."
  171. 01[05:14] <Trevor> "Who said anything about debt? It was merely a gift... Or compensation, rather..."
  172. 01[05:16] <Trevor> "My friends had ruined your meal with your Murkrow... Simply covering for your meal probably isn't enough, but it was the first thing that crossed my mind at the moment..."
  173. [05:16] <~Maus_Riverbed> "W-well--" Loot caws something from atop the TV, and Maus turns to him with a scowl. "Oh don't you start ganging up on me too!"
  174. 01[05:17] <Trevor> "I'm not quite sure how else I could make it up to you, but regardless of whether or not you find it satisfactory I won't accept the money..."
  175. [05:18] <~Maus_Riverbed> "W-well I'm not gonna accept it either!" Maus tries to get stubborn.
  176. 01[05:18] <Trevor> Trevor looks up at the Murkrow a second, not quite understanding what it might have said, but it had to have been something if Maus responded to it so adamantly.
  177. 01[05:19] <Trevor> "I insist that you accept it." He pushes the money towards Maus once more.
  178. [05:20] <~Maus_Riverbed> "W-well I insist that too!"
  179. [05:20] <~Maus_Riverbed> "..."
  180. [05:20] <~Maus_Riverbed> "....A-alright, fine."
  181. [05:20] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus isn't very good at being stubborn.
  182. 01[05:21] <Trevor> He puts the money back into Maus' palm, using both hands to seal it in with as firm a grip as he can, which is...
  183. 01[05:21] <Trevor> 1d20-8
  184. [05:22] <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, 1d20-8: 2 [1d20=10]
  185. 01[05:22] <Trevor> Does Maus even FEEL contact?
  186. [05:22] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d20-3 lessee
  187. [05:22] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, lessee: 16 [1d20=19]
  188. [05:22] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...W-wait a second, your arm--"
  189. [05:22] <~Maus_Riverbed> He's looking down at Trevor's mannequin arm.
  190. [05:24] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...H-how'd you--I mean, it's a doll's arm, right? H-how're you moving?"
  191. 01[05:25] <Trevor> Trevor looks at his arm, then back up at Maus, then back at his arm... Before his face turns crimson red.
  192. 01[05:26] <Trevor> "Well, I... Uhh... It's relatively simple, but the story behind it... Uhh..."
  193. [05:27] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...?" Maus blinks. "W-well, for now... what's the simple part?"
  194. 01[05:28] <Trevor> "Well, umm... I'm not quite sure how much you'd believe me when I make this claim, but... I..."
  195. 01[05:28] <Trevor> "I guess I sort of have dominion over the psychic elephants, to put it simply."
  196. 01[05:28] <Trevor> psychic elements *
  197. [05:29] <~Maus_Riverbed> "..." Maus looks a little startled, then...
  198. [05:29] <~Maus_Riverbed> <You too?>
  199. 01[05:31] <Trevor> Trevor jumps back a moment, startled by Maus' reaction, but regains his composure. <That makes two of us, then...>
  200. [05:32] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus seems to relax, visibly, and laughs. "Oh... that's a relief!"
  201. 01[05:33] <Trevor> "Might I ask what you were originally thinking? You seemed to be quite startled before when you first saw... Not that it isn't normal, but a bit more so than others."
  202. [05:35] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I, uh... I'm just used to some really weird stuff going on, that's all."
  203. 01[05:37] <Trevor> "Gauging your reaction, I can't quite say I believe that..."
  204. [05:37] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Well, no, I mean, like..." Maus paused. "I panicked, 'cause I thought you might complete be a doll or something and I was scared that was the case."
  205. 01[05:38] <Trevor> "A living doll? That's..." Trevor chuckles as a rather mischevious thought comes to mind. All of a sudden he can't wait for Halloween.
  206. 01[05:39] <Trevor> "No one's ever thought of me in such a light before... Though I guess it'd explain your earlier behavior."
  207. [05:40] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Yeah... s-sorry about that, by the way." Oh great he's blushing again. "I didn't tear anything, did I?"
  208. 01[05:41] <Trevor> "I... Don't think you did." He removes his blazer and unbuttons his shirt to exmaine the garments for any tearing.
  209. 01[05:42] <Trevor> ( Roll a STR check from before so I can gauge damage )
  210. 01[05:42] <Trevor> ( If any )

  213. [05:42] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, 1d20+1: 19 [1d20=18]
  214. [05:43] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Oh god Maus you savage beast)
  215. 01[05:43] <Trevor> The blazer's a little bit damaged, but given its materials it wasn't very heavily damaged... His shirt, though... How did Trevor NOT notice? It's torn up pretty well.
  216. [05:44] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Eheheh... whoops?"
  217. 01[05:44] <Trevor> "Well, perhaps you did... But it's nothing to worry about. I can afford to have it mended."
  218. [05:44] <~Maus_Riverbed> "A-are you sure you don't need that money afterall?"
  219. 01[05:45] <Trevor> "I already told you to hold onto the money. It's not the end of the world if I have to shell out a little bit to get these mended."
  220. [05:48] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...B-but... I mean, it's my fault--" Loot interjects with something and shuts Maus up.
  221. 01[05:49] <Trevor> "I already stated the money was yours to hold onto. Even if I wanted to, reclaiming it at this point would be rather tasteless of me."
  222. [05:50] <~Maus_Riverbed> "..." Maus sighs a little. "You don't... you don't have to take care of me, you know..."
  223. 01[05:56] <Trevor> "I, err... It wasn't my intent, Maus... But it really isn't anything to concern yourself over. I'm probably just a little bit less geared towards being financially conservative... Probably a result of the way I was raised up..."
  224. [05:57] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus stares awkwardly at Trevor for a moment, then sighs. "Yeah... yeah, I get it."
  225. 01[05:58] <Trevor> "Is... Something the matter, Maus?" He says, though he's going to get the answer whether Maus complies with his question or not. (Telepathy)
  226. [06:00] <~Maus_Riverbed> "No, it's nothing." Is what he says aloud. His actual thoughts are a little angry and a touch sad - 'Wish he'd stop pitying me'.
  227. 01[06:04] <Trevor> (Also Clairaudience tells me if you're lying or not... So that probably goes off too :P)
  228. [06:04] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Oh god it does doesn't it. Yeah he's lying a little)
  229. 01[06:07] <Trevor> Trevor can't help but feel a little uneased by what Maus said. "Are you certain? I don't..." He's pondering how to say this without just being completely weirdo mode.
  230. [06:09] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Don't worry about it," Maus shakes his head, looking at Loot, who seems almost amused at the silly human interactions.
  231. [06:11] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I guess it's getting kinda late now, isn't it?"
  232. 01[06:12] <Trevor> Trevor gets up (since he probably sat, if not outright laid down some time before, lazy bastard) and opens the curtains to check just how dark it is outside.
  233. 01[06:15] <Trevor> (How dark is it outside?)
  234. [06:16] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Probably NIGHT HAS FALLEN but we are in the city so)
  235. 01[06:16] <Trevor> "Oh my... It has gotten fairly late."
  236. [06:17] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...So I should probably get going," Maus rubs the back of his head nervously.
  237. 01[06:17] <Trevor> "I'm not terribly familiar with the city, but I wouldn't want you getting hurt... Would you be interested in... staying the night with me?" There's a little bit of hesitation in his voice.
  238. [06:18] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Wh-what!?"
  239. [06:18] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d20+3
  240. [06:18] <DiceMaid-9001> Maus_Riverbed, 1d20+3: 18 [1d20=15]
  241. [06:18] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus manages to keep himself from going beet red
  242. 01[06:20] <Trevor> "I'd rather not take the risk of finding an image of your mauled corpse on the front page of the papers tomorrow morning... I had stumbled across a murder attempt that had taken place in broad daylight, so I'd rather not chance your safety."
  243. [06:21] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Oh." Maus shakes his head. "That's all."
  244. [06:21] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I'd rather not."
  245. [06:22] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Er, as in, I mean, I'm happy you're worried about me, but... I don't like having a roof over my head."
  246. 01[06:23] <Trevor> "I'm not attempting to force you, but in all honesty I'm fairly concerned... I don't have any problem with you calling home and letting your parents. I can share the other bed with Abe."
  247. [06:24] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus flinches visibly.
  248. [06:24] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...That's... that's not the problem..."
  249. 01[06:24] <Trevor> He watches Maus flinch, then chuckles at the idea. "On... second thought, maybe I'd be better off sleeping on the floor... Unless you're not uncomfortable with sharing a bed."
  250. [06:25] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Th-that's--wh..." Maus stutters a little - then grabs his hair in frustration a little, stamping at the ground a couple times to get it out of his system.
  251. [06:28] <~Maus_Riverbed> "Aghhh..." There's a little gnashing of teeth too, and Loot cackles in laughter at the odd display from the boy. Then he seems to calm himself down. "Okay. Where were we."
  252. 01[06:29] <Trevor> "I'm not quite sure what I said to fluster you... If anything, I suppose I could arrange for you to rent out another room nearby. Really, I'm just concerned for your safety." Trevor's really confused at this point what he did to provoke this.
  253. [06:33] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I... l-listen, I'd like to too, but... sleeping in the city at all is weird enough, it just... wouldn't feel right. Sleeping like this. E-especially with someone else."
  254. 03[06:34] * castfromhp is now known as castfromsleep
  255. 01[06:34] <Trevor> "You... You live outside the city? Did you really venture this far out just to try and return the money?"
  256. [06:36] <~Maus_Riverbed> "..." Maus looks a little embarassed. "...If I did?"
  257. 01[06:38] <Trevor> Trevor looks a bit surprised. "Dare I ask what possessed you to come all the way out here? That's simply ludicrous just to return some money... If you really had insisted on it that badly, simply mailing it should have sufficed... Even though I would have most likely mailed it back."
  258. [06:39] <~Maus_Riverbed> "It's... it's just how I do things, okay?" Maus sighs.
  259. 01[06:42] <Trevor> "Still, that's far too much a venture to take at night. I'd honestly prefer you just spend the night here. I'd most likely be up all night concerning for your welfare."
  260. [06:43] <~Maus_Riverbed> "..." Maus goes all shy again, shifting nervously. "So you know... I've taken care of myself for a very long time."
  261. 01[06:44] <Trevor> "Admittedly, it doesn't alleviate my concerns very much."
  262. [06:46] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...And here I am making someone worry about me again..." Maus sighs.
  263. 01[06:47] <Trevor> "I may not have much of a say myself, but despite my financial whimsy, I'm otherwise quite risk aversive... And you say that as if I shouldn't be concerned for my friends..."
  264. [06:49] <~Maus_Riverbed> "..." Maus looks quite bothered by Trevor's words, and starts shifting nervously again on his feet.
  265. 01[06:50] <Trevor> "Did I... say something offputting?"
  266. 01[06:51] <Trevor> He looks at Maus, a bit concerned.
  267. [06:51] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I'm, uh..." he sighs, and looks over to Loot, not Trevor. "...Yeah, but it's not like you said anything bad, just... nevermind."
  268. 01[06:53] <Trevor> "Well, something seems to be irking you. Mind telling me what it is? I'm sure I can find some way to accomodate for it."
  269. 01[06:54] <Trevor> "Or, remedy the situation, rather."
  270. [06:54] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus starts fidgeting a bit. "...It's just me, that's all." He beckons Loot over with a wave of his hand. "We should get going. ...I'd like to stay. But..." he doesn't finish that thought.
  271. 01[06:55] <Trevor> "But . . . ?"
  272. 01[06:57] <Trevor> (This is probably the part where he actually pries in with telepathy...
  273. [06:57] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I like you." Maus doesn't quite meet Trevor's eyes. "...And I'd like to see you again. But right now, I'm not... things are a little harder than I expected to be."
  274. 01[07:01] <Trevor> "I can see why that might pose a barrier to you... But in honesty, I don't mind it much at all. If it really bothers you that much, I can arrange for you to sleep in another room, but I'm just not comfortable with you being out, nearly alone, so late at night." He looks up to Loot as he says the last part, then back at Maus.
  275. [07:03] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I'll be fine. There's nothing out there that can be thrown at me I can't throw back," Maus shakes his head. "If you're that insistant, I'll go sleep on the roof or something."
  276. 01[07:07] <Trevor> Trevor doesn't look terribly pleased by this, but it's better than nothing. His cane floats over to him. "At least promise me you'll hold onto this, then."
  277. 01[07:08] <Trevor> He puts the cane in Maus' hand. "If you need to protect yourself, there's a harpoon concealed inside."
  278. [07:09] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...I don't need that to protect myself," Maus shakes his head. "I've got other skills. You think I get by living in the woods by just escaping everything?"
  279. 01[07:10] <Trevor> "At least hold onto it. If not just to give me ease of mind at this point. It also gives you incentive to come back so I can make certain you didn't just run off in the middle of the night."
  280. [07:11] <~Maus_Riverbed> "...Trying to trap me, huh?" Maus tries to get stubborn again, but sighs. "Fine, fine."
  281. 01[07:13] <Trevor> "I hope you understand." He gives a light smile to Maus.

  284. [07:14] <~Maus_Riverbed> The boy takes it, shaking his head. "Alright... See you tomorrow, it seems."
  285. 01[07:16] <Trevor> "Very well, then. Good night Maus." He gives Maus a friendly, if not pitifully weak, hug good night.

  288. [07:16] <~Maus_Riverbed> Welp.
  289. [07:16] <~Maus_Riverbed> Maus' arms wrap around Trevor in return, and it's much less weak. It's a little clingy, actually.
  290. 01[07:17] <Trevor> Trevor lets go after a short embrace, but waits on Maus to let go... All the while trying to stifle yelp from "Oh God, too tight!"
  291. 01[07:18] <Trevor> stifle a* yelp
  292. [07:18] <~Maus_Riverbed> 1d20+1 HOW TIGHT

  296. [07:19] <~Maus_Riverbed> Actually it's not that tight, but he's taking a little too long to let go... a little longer, a little longer.
  297. [07:19] <~Maus_Riverbed> ...Then Maus pulls away, beet red. "S-sorry...!"
  298. 01[07:21] <Trevor> "It's quite alright." He rolls up his left sleeve and lifts up his shirt anyways to check for bruising. "I may bruise like a tomato, but I'm thankfully not THAT delicate."
  299. [07:23] <~Maus_Riverbed> Oh jeez that's not helping. Maus decides to turn away quickly.
  300. [07:24] <~Maus_Riverbed> "I'll uh... yeah. See you later!" Maus quickly makes himself scarce.
  301. 01[07:25] <Trevor> "I'm expecting your return in the morning, Maus..." He says as he looks back up, but OH WOW he's gone already.
  302. 01[07:33] <Trevor> "That was alarmingly fast..." He says, but doesn't really pay much mind to it. He just goes back towards making a token attempt to clean up the room that his Pokemon, mostly Abe, laid siege to (Is Loot even still in there?)
  303. [07:34] <~Maus_Riverbed> (Loot is as gone as Maus)
