Altho Mini 04A/04B-2

01[23:33] <@Trevor> Date : February 1st, 7:50 AM. The ferry in Sandstep en route for Ivoryscape, is due to depart shortly on this chilly morning. ( Damned winter, why you be so cold? )
06[23:36] * @Trevor is getting ready to board the ferry, and what's meant by getting ready is fastening all of the damned things he has in place with a rope so that they don't all fall overboard on the ferry.
03[23:36] * DavidChaos is now known as Cole
01[23:36] <@Trevor> ( Or at least the bags he has to the wagon )
06[23:37] * Cole has less things packed with him than Trevor does, so as he boards, he has very, very little to tie down; his bags he actually knows how to carry on his back.  What a concept.  He looks over, and happens to see Trevor nearby, but says nothing to him, instead going about his merry way.  Well, Cole looking merry would be an extreme exaggeration, but his way is gone about!
06[23:40] * @Trevor eventually gets everything on board before the boat departs, though he recalls Abe after making it on board since the poor 'phan obviously doesn't like the water; the boat sets off off shortly after everyone else who might have boarded is ready to do so.
01[23:42] <@Trevor> Trevor isn't quite ready to talk to Cole yet, but Roosevelt is; the cute little Zigzagoon makes his way over to Cole looking exceptionally adorable, if not a little bit derpy with that "cute newborn puppy" mentality he has.
01[23:43] <@Trevor> He's got his blue "superhero" cape on, too, making him look exceptionally adorable.
06[23:43] * Cole looks around him, and then as the boat takes off, he releases the Pokemon he has that would thoroughly enjoy the water trip, Deius the Dewott coming out of his PokeBall and looking around him.  Cole looks down to the Zigzagoon who made his way over, and smiles a little bit, bending down a little to pet him.  "Oh, hey there."  Even he couldn't resist the adorability of the caped Zigzagoon.  And he's kind of a jerk sometimes.
03[23:44] * Garlyle is now known as Savage
01[23:45] <@Trevor> Roosevelt . . . Barks? (Is that even what raccoon-ish Pokemon do? Hell if I know, but barking sounds right) Well, he's barking happily or whatever at Cole, which gets Trevor's attention as he looks over towards the noise... And perhaps locks eyes with Cole as he looks up at the figure Roosevelt's barking at... Oh boy.
01[23:48] <@Trevor> Nervously, he heads over towards Roosevelt to go get him, having Trudy and Conor trailing not too far behind.
06[23:49] * Cole looks over, and sees Trevor in the short distance, Deius seeing Trevor, and waving to him in a friendly manner.  Cole nods a little to Trevor, understanding the silence; he was traumatized, not used to someone reading his thoughts.
01[23:51] <@Trevor> "Oh, uh... Hello again, Cole..." Trevor had to at least acknowledge his presence since he was going over there to get his damned Pokemon. "I apologize if Roosevelt was being an inconvenience..."
01[23:52] <@Trevor> "He's still fairly young." He does take a moment to wave to Deius as well, reciprocating the warm, if not randomly picked up, greeting.
[23:54] <Cole> "No inconvenience at all, Trevor."  He said, and nodded a little bit, Deius going towards the edge of the boat and looking over; naturally, he was thoroughly enjoying himself on the water.  "I wasn't going anywhere."
01[23:58] <@Trevor> Trevor pauses a moment to let the irony soak in while he tries to figure out a response. Roosevelt attempts to hop into Cole's lap if he's sitting down, or just tugs at his ankles otherwise.
Session Time: Mon Jul 11 00:00:00 2011
01[00:00] <@Trevor> ( Seriously, so much irony in that statement. "Oh, I'm on a boat, but I'm not going anywhere." )
06[00:01] * Cole is in fact sitting down, partially watching Deius to make sure he doesn't hop over into the water, and helps Roosevelt into his laps since that's where he wants to go.  "So you're headed back to Ivoryscape as well?"
01[00:02] <@Trevor> "If only as a passing point..." Good. He wasn't quite sure how to respond to that, anyways.
06[00:03] * Cole gave a short nod.  "Same.  I spent my childhood there...allegedly...so I know the city well enough."  He then thought something, making sure Trevor heard it.  <Are you hoping to find your Tepig, possibly?>
01[00:05] <@Trevor> ". . ." Trevor's taken aback by the sudden drop of telekinesis. "At this point . . . I'm not quite certain if she'd still be alive. It's been well over two weeks, and I haven't heard anything from the authorities..."
01[00:06] <@Trevor> Roosevelt sits upright in Cole's lap and starts pawing away at his shirt. "All I can do at the moment is hope that perhaps someone had found her."
01[00:08] <@Trevor> ( It's like the playful thingy puppies do when they want out for a walk or something like that )
06[00:11] * Cole gives a short nod, and looks over.  <You do not have to say these things out loud if you don't want to.  You can simply think them, or send a telekinetic message back.>  He looked down.  "I think he likes me..."
02[00:11] * Savage (464dd8bc@sux-FCD30E9C.mibbit.com) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
01[00:13] <@Trevor> "It appears he does..." Trevor looks around the boat, and as far as he can tell there's no one standing out who he'd recognize. He then sits down on the floor of the boat, his other Pokemon (Pachirisu and Teddiursa) moving accordingly.
01[00:15] <@Trevor> ( Hold up, typing telekinetic response )
01[00:16] <@Trevor> <I... I'm not terribly accustomed to communicating like this...> He telepaths to Cole. <As such, I prefer not to communicate like this if it can be helped.>
06[00:17] * Cole gives a short nod, and Deius makes his way back over, looking up at the Zigzagoon sitting in Cole's lap.  <I rarely do myself; sometimes, however, it is the best way to speak without someone you don't want hearing to listen in.>
01[00:19] <@Trevor> While Trudy nestles herself into Trevor's lap, Conor hides behind Trevor, still fearful of anything that isn't him or the other little Pokemon he hauls around with him. Roosevelt starts licking Cole's face. <It's... I also imagine it'd be rather awkward if passersby just saw two people staring at each other and making no action.>
01[00:20] <@Trevor> He stops to rustle Trudy's fur a bit playfully with his left hand... Not that he'd use his right, but he couldn't anyways since Conor's clinging onto it.
06[00:25] * Cole laughs a little, leaning his head up.  <True.>  Deius looks between Cole and Trevor, and sits between the two of them, still looking towards Roosevelt with mild confusion.
01[00:26] <@Trevor> ( Oh God, if Deius picks up on Roosevelt's actions... *Awkward* )
[00:28] <Cole> ( It gets worse if he does; He's getting kinda close to evolution level. )
01[00:29] <@Trevor> Trevor's at a loss for what else to talk about. As such, he stops petting Trudy a moment to open up his messenger bag, slung over his shoulder. It's... Loaded up with food, or at least that's what it appears to be. "Have you eaten breakfast yet?"
01[00:29] <@Trevor> He opens up a bag and pulls out a couple of buttered bagels as best as he can with Conor clinging onto him, offering one each to Cole and Deius.
01[00:29] <@Trevor> Anything to break the awkward silence.
06[00:30] * Cole looks over to Trevor, Deius happily taking a bagel quicker than Cole did.  "Thank you."  It wasn't all that often that others actually offered him food or something of the like; maybe he was getting better at this social interaction thing.
01[00:33] <@Trevor> "Think nothing of it," he says, if to politely deflect the gratitude. Trevor also takes a moment to fish out a couple of juice boxes; they look like something you'd stick in a kid's lunchbox with the giant cartoony apple sitting on them.
01[00:33] <@Trevor> ( Also, if you want you can roll a WIS check in AlthoRegion to see if you see anything in Trevor's bag that'd . . . Not be normal in there )
01[00:34] <@Trevor> ( Well, not that it'd be abnormal, but ... Well, stand-out-ish )
01[00:38] <@Trevor> He passes them around, seeming to have plenty for everyone before impaling one with a straw and starting at his own. Unfortunately for his Pokemon, they just... Cannot into straws... Or packaging.
01[00:42] <@Trevor> Cole, upon looking inside, could easily be amazed at how many snacks Trevor has in there... Chips, pretzels, chocolate chip cookies and more... It just seems endless! Is the whole thing that full of snacks? And how is Trevor not, like, 250lb or something?
06[00:44] * Cole pops into his own just fine; Deius starts to try, but Cole reaches over and does it for him, Deius looking at the thing oddly afterwards and then sipping from it, Cole looking over to Trevor, as though feeling the need to explain.  "Last time he had something like that, he blew it up trying to get the straw in...and I don't like seeing him cry because of something like that..."  It seemed weird to think of the concept of Deius ever ac
[00:45] <Cole> ( Did all of that go through? )
01[00:45] <@Trevor> ( "Deius ever ac" is the last I saw )
01[00:45] <@Trevor> ( And blew it up as in "explode" destroyed? )
[00:46] <Cole> It seemed weird to think of the concept of Deius ever actually crying, considering he always seemed so cheerful, either that or serious.  Cole did notice how much was in the back.  "You've got a lot of stuff in there..."
[00:46] <Cole> ( blew up as in "explode".  Juice go flying everywhere, no more juice box for Deius. )
[00:47] <Cole> ( He was sad because he didn't get the juice.  ;.; )
01[00:48] <@Trevor> "That's . . . Quite . . ." Trevor then instantly checks to make sure his Pokemon aren't having trouble with them, which... Much to his dismay, they are, so he quickly stops to help them out, not wanting Deius to witness a second juice box trauma.
01[00:49] <@Trevor> "As for all of the snacks? Well, I just find it helpful to always be prepared."
[00:50] <Cole> Deius drinks his juice, rocking happily that he got juice this time, Cole rubs the back of his neck.  "Still...it goes on for ages..."
01[00:51] <@Trevor> "I don't believe it to be that much..." Trevor then carefully unloads the contents of his messenger bag... This might take a while.
06[00:53] * Cole watches him do so, as Deius starts...singing?  He was really happy after a non-disasterous juicebox experience.
01[00:53] <@Trevor> The pile of snacks turns out to be IMMENSELY huge; like, it's literally almost as tall as Conor by the time Trevor's done unloading it. A whole bunch of medical supplies, some bound books, a laptop, and a random stuffed doll in the shape of a Leafeon... Amongst other things.
01[00:54] <@Trevor> Also a couple of folders, all with dates and the like written down on them in neat cursive penmanship. " . . . On second thought, perhaps I did bring a bit of excess."
06[00:56] * Cole looked over to him.  "How can you even carry that much?  You don't look like you can lift a lot...no offense."
01[00:57] <@Trevor> ( Fucking Psychics, how do they work? )
01[00:58] <@Trevor> "I honestly haven't found myself with much trouble carrying things around..."
06[00:59] * Cole nods a little, looking over to him.  <I suppose your own abilities help, in that regard.>
01[01:01] <@Trevor> Says the boy with a giant wagon filled up with a bunch of bags and a suitcase and strapped down with rope, alongside two other large suitcase. "Abe also assists a fair bit when he's willing to cooperate..." <But admittedly, I doubt I'd be able to haul anything much more than two feet on my own strength.>
01[01:02] <@Trevor> ( Much further* than two feet )
06[01:06] * Cole looks over and nods.  "I suppose he would."  He looks over, seeing that Deius is...still singing.  "De-wott, De-wott, Dewott Dewott De-wott..."
01[01:09] <@Trevor> "I fear I might have accidentally overloaded him this morning, though..." He looks over at ALL OF HIS LUGGAGE sitting over there. God, you'd probably cringe having to imagine carrying all of that yourself without any Pokemon, psychic powers or not.
01[01:11] <@Trevor> Either that, or develop instant backpains on sight.
06[01:12] * Cole nodded a little bit, rubbing the back of his neck.  "This is part of the reason I prefer to travel fairly light..."
01[01:14] <@Trevor> ( Brb a sec )
01[01:16] <@Trevor> "I... Might have been better off waiting until I returned to Ivoryscape before purchasing what I did..."
01[01:17] <@Trevor> The shopping bags piled up in the wagon are massive, and sport the logo of a well-known clothing distributor.
06[01:24] * Cole nodded a little bit.  "That's what I'm doing.  I got some money before leaving, but decided to go ahead through.  Besides...I still have questions for Professor Pine.
01[01:27] <@Trevor> " . . . " Nope. Not ringing any bells to Trevor.
06[01:28] * Cole sighed.  "He's the professor in Ivoryscape.  He gave me Deius, in fact."  "De-wott, De-wott..."
01[01:30] <@Trevor> "Right... I had probably heard of him previously; the name most likely slipped past me." Nice cover-up attempt, Trevor... Niiice... (Not.)
01[01:31] <@Trevor> He quickly tries to stay smooth, and diverts attention from his derpage by starting to put away the mess he laid out on the floor before it blows over the side and into the sea or something.
06[01:31] * Cole laughed a little.  <I heard that, y'know.  And if you didn't know who he was, it's nothing to really be ashamed of.>
01[01:31] <@Trevor> ( The "Not." was just me being silly with snide OOC comment :P )
01[01:32] <@Trevor> ( Oh welp; he was probably thinking "Oh God, how could I have forgotten that?" anyways )
01[01:35] <@Trevor> <I... I would appreciate it if you didn't do that. If only for your own sanity.>
01[01:35] <@Trevor> Trevor's face turns :/ (for lack of a better description) as he finds his thoughts being probed into once more.
01[01:39] <@Trevor> With enough time passing, and a lot of effective re-positioning, most of Trevor's stuff gets back into the bag. It's... Not nearly as neatly organized as it was before, and looks like it'd burst open if someone poked it hard enough.
[01:41] <Cole> <It's becoming a habit.>  Deius continues singing, as Cole looks around once more.  "So how have you been otherwise?"
01[01:42] <@Trevor> "Otherwise, I've been... Relatively okay. The usual mischief from Abe, but otherwise it's been going fairly decently."
01[01:44] <@Trevor> The Zigzagoon had fallen asleep in Cole's lap. D'aaaawww...
06[01:45] * Cole gave a short nod, and Deius finally calmed down on singing, yawning a little bit.  "Same...Deius's typical energetic mischief, but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary..."
01[01:46] <@Trevor> "I can't quite imagine Deius causing any issues..." Seriously, he can't. He's such an adorable little Dewott, if not a bit simple-minded at times... Then again, he did say the same thing about Abe, so... Yeah.
06[01:48] * Cole laughs a little bit.  "He's really energetic, so...he keeps me on my toes sometimes.  Axon's worse, though."
01[01:50] <@Trevor> "Your... Sandslash was it?"
06[01:53] * Cole nodded a little bit.  "Yeah...he runs around everywhere...if I'd have let him out on the boat, I'd be fishing him out of the water, most likely."
01[01:54] <@Trevor> "While I'd think that might calm him down a notch, I can't imagine that being particularly enjoyable for either of you."
06[01:56] * Cole shook his head.  "It wouldn't be.  Not in the least."
01[01:57] <@Trevor> Trevor stops and pauses a moment, then quickly opens up his messenger bag and sifts through the contents, causing some of them to pour out on the floor before quickly pulling out one of the notebooks. After opening the clasp with one hand (struggling a bit to do so), he flips to the bookmarked page, pulls out a pen and starts writing into it.
06[01:58] * Cole blinks a little bit, Deius starting to fall asleep.  "What're you doing?"
01[02:00] <@Trevor> "I'm just writing something down that I had forgotten to earlier this morning..." His gaze seems to be exceptionally fixed onto the page as he writes.
01[02:01] <@Trevor> If not just extremelyi focused.
01[02:01] <@Trevor> ( Damnit italics, why you no work? )
06[02:01] * Cole nods a little bit, looking over towards Deius, now sleep.  "How long have we been out here for Deius to actually get tired?"
01[02:02] <@Trevor> ( How long do you want it to be? :P )
01[02:04] <@Trevor> "I can't imagine it to have been terribly long... Though I'd have to check my laptop for the actual time... I should probably invest in a watch, a phone, or some other instrument that's more easily accessible."
03[02:04] * Savage (4b9d4290@sux-11491D6B.mibbit.com) has joined #AlthoBoats
01[02:04] <@Trevor> ( Hai again Gar )
[02:05] <Savage> (Is stuff still going?)
01[02:05] <@Trevor> ( Yeah ; we're still on the boats )
01[02:05] <@Trevor> ( Though for how much longer I has no idea :/ We don't know what time it is IC, and I just asked Cole about that OOC, so... )
06[02:06] * Cole nodded a little bit, and pulled out his Pokedex.  "Can't remember if this thing tells time or not..."
[02:06] <Cole> ((Bout 3 hours, I guess?))
01[02:07] <@Trevor> ( This might be a looong boat ride, then. xD )
06[02:07] * @Trevor looks up to see just what Cole's looking at, and...
01[02:07] <@Trevor> ( How visible is the mark on the Wanderers' Dex? )
01[02:07] <@Trevor> ( Like, is it specially marked or anything? )
[02:08] <Savage> (...I'm gonna say there is a mark.  It's on the upper right corner on the outside of the Dex )
[02:08] <Cole> ( I'm not sure; no one even knew I was a Wanderer at all until I got the call once. )
[02:09] <Savage> (Nobody -does- know who the Wanderers are until they recognise the mark or they self-identify)
01[02:10] <@Trevor> Yep, that's a Pokedex, alright. "I... I'm surprised I didn't think to check that my--" Oh boy. That's the Wanderers' mark on the Dex, isn't it?
06[02:10] * Cole blinks.  "Wow...it's already 11."  He looked up, hearing Trevor's pause as he put his Pokedex away.  "Something wrong?"
01[02:11] <@Trevor> "Not really... Just thoroughly amazed at how I hadn't bothered to think of that myself..."
06[02:12] * Cole nods a little bit.  "I didn't think of it at first, either."
01[02:13] <@Trevor> He looks over towards Teddiursa, who had also fallen asleep clinging to his right arm before gently using his telekinesis to pry him loose. He then walks over and pulls out the blanket from the bottom of the wagon (Pretty much just yanked it out... Using telekinesis again :p) to clothe the little bear with it.
01[02:15] <@Trevor> Still, in his head he's just trying to distract himself from the <Oh crap... He's a Wanderer too?> moment he just had.
06[02:16] * Cole looked over to Trevor, and tried not to say anything about knowing about that moment he just had, instead keeping it to himself, and yawning; probably for the best.
[02:17] <Cole> ((I am getting much tired.))
01[02:18] <@Trevor> ( Got it. )
[02:18] <Cole> ( Rest of boat ride can be filled with uneventfulness and sleeping. )
01[02:19] <@Trevor> Trevor can't help but yawn himself... There's something wrong with this boat if everyone finds themselves falling asleep on the boat.
06[02:19] * Cole decides that, at the moment, perhaps a nap would be the best course of action; it's gonna be a long trip, after all.
01[02:19] <@Trevor> He carefully opens up the blanket some more, being a fairly large blanket before being folded up neatly to fit into the wagon, before crawling in beneath it himself.
01[02:20] <@Trevor> ( OOC Objective : Sleep with every guy in Altho. Can I score #3? :p )
06[02:22] * Cole starts to fall asleep, but looks over and sees how large Trevor's blanket is.  It is kind of chilly...and there's a lot of blanket.  He decides to slide in, at the edge, so as to not be invasive.
01[02:24] <@Trevor> Trevor notices, and uses his telekinesis to hoist up Roosevelt ever so slightly and in accord with Cole's motions so as to not accidentally wake him up.
01[02:25] <@Trevor> <I didn't want to wake Roosevelt...>
06[02:26] * Cole nodded a little, slowly falling asleep.  <I understand...well...good...afternoon?>
01[02:27] <@Trevor> <Good afternoon, then...> Damnit, he really shouldn't be this tired at this point, but... It's gotta be something in the ocean air.
01[02:28] <@Trevor> Yeah, that's it... Accursed ocean air making him... Quickly fall...
[02:28] <Cole> <zzzzzz...>
[02:29] <Cole> ( PSYCHIC SNORING )
01[02:29] <@Trevor> ( Pretty much :p )
[02:29] <Cole> ( And scene right there. )
