Pokemaids XIX

[22:08]	<GMOwen>	VOICEOVER: It is you, and it is me… but what the hell is our destiny?
[22:09]	<GMOwen>	VOICEOVER: After much rigmarole and adventure, the girls are reunited with their former trainer and friend Iris (not that there was really anything keeping them apart). Iris treats them to some light snacks as a parkside café. Some mill about the relaxing park while others gather around Iris for the family reunion.
[22:09]	* [Owen]Iris	enjoys a light snack of BEER.
[22:10]	* Sublimia	sits in the shade, lightly eating her snack.
[22:10]	* Sara`	enjoys a little pudding, sitting next to(or at least near) Iris.
[22:10]	* Sublimia	sits near Sara.
[22:11]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Let's get the boring shit outta the way first, then. You say y'all got them Moon Stones to pawn off or whatever?"
[22:12]	* Sara`	nods, then projecting her speech through thoughts:
[22:12]	<Sara`>	<Yes, that's it.>
[22:14]	* [Owen]Iris	tweaks her fingers forwards to check dat merch out.
[22:15]	* [9]Faraday	eyes Iris from a tree not too far off. . o (Who is this, their trainer?)
[22:16]	* Sara`	places the stones on the table.
[22:16]	* Sublimia	watches the transation cooly.
[22:16]	* [Zem]Aleurna	looks nervously at Iris as well.
[22:17]	* [Owen]Iris	checks out the stones; she knows the drill on pricing things like this. Folk on the S.S. Anne are selling them as souvenirs to tourists all the time.
[22:20]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Ehh... the spread's prolly worth like seventy k wholesale, but I like you bitches so I'll give you eighty. I'll still be able to flop 'em back for over a hundred by the end 'a the month."
[22:20]	<Sara`>	<Wow, thank you!>
[22:20]	* [Owen]Iris	shrugs.
[22:21]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Meh."
[22:21]	* [Owen]Iris	pulls out her wallet and counts out the bills. It's a tidy sum, but she knew she was buying and came prepared.
[22:22]	<Sublimia>	Is that a lot, Sara?
[22:23]	* MissD	overs over Sara, curious as to see what they were doing.
[22:23]	<Sara`>	A ton more than those others were going to give us! This will keep us well-supplied for a while.
[22:24]	<Sublimia>	Excellent. Give her my thanks as well.
[22:26]	* [Owen]Iris	puts the wallet back and sips her beer. Best to get the boring stuff out of the way.
[22:26]	* Sublimia	offers Iris a rather chilly smile.
[22:26]	* Sara`	translates.
[22:27]	<Sara`>	<Sublimia gives her thanks as well.>
[22:27]	* MissD	finally sees who Sara was dealing with and waves at Iris with a loud chirp.
[22:28]	* [Owen]Iris	raises her glass at Missy thoughtfully.
[22:28]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Ey' Miss. Still a whore?"
[22:28]	* MissD	grins and nods.
[22:29]	* [Owen]Iris	smirks back.
[22:29]	* [9]Faraday	floats over towards the group gathered around the human woman, her arms crossed over her chest.
[22:29]	<[9]Faraday>	So, just who the hell is she, anyway?
[22:29]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Good to know, girl."
[22:29]	<MissD>	Good to see you well~
[22:30]	* [Owen]Iris	observes this punk-ass ghost with her M.C. Hammerpants.
[22:30]	* MissD	hugs Iris once more, its been a while.
[22:30]	<Sublimia>	So she even admits it...
[22:30]	* Sublimia	uses a stage whisper, hiding her expression behind her sleeve.
[22:31]	* [Zem]Aleurna	goes over to Iris, and puts out her hand.
[22:31]	* [9]Faraday	waits a moment, then shoves Iris a little less than roughly.
[22:31]	<[9]Faraday>	Hey, who the hell is this bitch?
[22:32]	* Sara`	looks between Iris and MissD, confused but unbothered.
[22:32]	* [Owen]Iris	is pimpin' with all these fine bitches, yo!
[22:32]	* Sara`	looks at Faraday, delivering her emphasis directly. Speech can lose some of its edge.
[22:33]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Sara, could you tell her how extraordinarily pleased I am to meet her?"
[22:33]	<Sara`>	(She's Iris, the trainer that worked with us before we met you. She's good. Leave her alone.)
[22:35]	<Sara`>	Sure, Aleurna.
[22:36]	* [9]Faraday	considers Sara's words, and...
[22:36]	* [Owen]Iris	looks at the shiny lion. She looks confident.
[22:37]	* Sara`	motions to Aleurna.
[22:37]	* MissD	gives Iris a lick on the face, its been so loonnnggg~
[22:37]	<Sara`>	<This is Aleurna; She's very glad to meet you.>
[22:37]	<[9]Faraday>	Can you relate just how promiscuous I think she both looks and smells?
[22:38]	<[9]Faraday>	Really, she smells like cigarettes or something. That smell always seems to follow loose women where I'm from.
[22:38]	* Sara`	considers shoving Faraday with Psychic. o O ( We're still in the city, though... )
[22:39]	<Sara`>	Shut up, Faraday.
[22:39]	* MissD	giggles at Faraday.
[22:39]	* [9]Faraday	sticks her tongue out at the stuck-up psychic!
[22:39]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	Faraday, you are very lucky she can't understand you.
[22:39]	<[9]Faraday>	Bleeeh. You're such a stick-in-the-mud.
[22:39]	<Sublimia>	Oh dear, you got her angry. But Sara, I'm sure Iris has gotten her own share of fun.
[22:39]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	I assume that's the only reason you have the courage to make those hurtful remarks.
[22:39]	* [Owen]Iris	nods at the translation and talks to the Luxio. M.C. Hammer can wait; she definately sounds like she's got an edge.
[22:40]	* [9]Faraday	looks over at Aleurna, her tongue still stuck out.
[22:40]	<[9]Faraday>	I'd say it to her face if I could. It's not like she can touch me if she's mad, anyway.
[22:40]	* Kovacs	finally floats around to join the team, pretty much oblivious to what's been going on. She looks over the scene and quickly spots Iris; she takes her glasses off, rubs her eyes and puts them back on. After floating in place for a few seconds, she zooms over and practically barrels into Iris.
[22:40]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Glad ta' meet you too, girl. So you're shiny or some shit. Related to Kira?"
[22:41]	* [Owen]Iris	chuckles. Obviously this girl wouldn't be related~
[22:42]	* Sara`	closes her eyes.
[22:43]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	Yes, actually, I am. She is my third cousin.
[22:43]	* Kovacs	hugs Iris as tightly as she can, which isn't very tightly at all.
[22:43]	<Sara`>	<Surprisingly.>
[22:44]	* [Owen]Iris	is hugged by yet another ghost! This one is her favoritest of ghosts!
[22:44]	* Sublimia	well sorry, ya?
[22:44]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Ahh, damn girl, happy to see you too!"
[22:45]	* [9]Faraday	tugs on Sara's skirt.
[22:45]	<[9]Faraday>	Heeey, you aren't telling her anything I said at all! How am I supposed to get properly introduced?
[22:45]	* [Owen]Iris	forgot how taxing it was to deal will so many people all at the same time.
[22:46]	<Kovacs>	<I missed youuuuu!>
[22:46]	* Sara`	glares down at Faraday.
[22:46]	* [9]Faraday	grins at Sara.
[22:46]	* Kovacs	rubs her cheek against Iris, just like she did when the latter was younger.
[22:46]	<Sara`>	That's hardly a proper introduction.
[22:46]	<Sara`>	And I did introduce you.
[22:46]	<[9]Faraday>	What, you want her to think I'm someone I'm not?
[22:47]	<Sublimia>	Oh Sara, everyone has their own ways. Even if those ways are mind-numbingly droll.
[22:47]	* [Owen]Iris	is reminded of the good old days when she was a "working girl" and not a "pimp".
[22:48]	* [Owen]Iris	rubs Kovacs' shoulder with her hand, or does the best she can to attempt it.
[22:48]	<Sara`>	No, I told it how it is. Somewhat.
[22:48]	<[Owen]Iris>	"...I've missed ya'. It... shit, it just ain't the same."
[22:48]	<Sara`>	You've made the more significant part clear yourself.
[22:49]	* [9]Faraday	frowns.
[22:49]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	I can tell that you liked Iris quite a bit.
[22:49]	<[9]Faraday>	Well, whatever. If I ever learn to talk human on my own then I can just cut out the middle man.
[22:49]	* [9]Faraday	makes a cutting motion with her thumb.
[22:49]	* Kovacs	looses her grip a little, looking up at Iris.
[22:50]	<Sublimia>	Oh, she's always like this~
[22:51]	* Sublimia	drapes her arms around Sara. It feels like being hugged by the antarctic.
[22:51]	* MissD	then goes over and hugs Subby from behind.
[22:51]	<MissD>	Hiii!~
[22:51]	<Kovacs>	<...How?>
[22:51]	* Kovacs	, amidst the commotion, keeps focused on Iris.
[22:53]	<`Sara>	Yeah. A human who actually cares about our desires and wishes is rare.
[22:53]	* `Sara	smiles.
[22:54]	<`Sara>	I'm glad to have travelled with her.
[22:55]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	That's good. But still, I wouldn't feel comfortable traveling with her unless she defeated me.
[22:56]	<`Sara>	She's a good trainer. I never needed to fight her, or anyone here, but spars can be fun.
[22:56]	<Sublimia>	She was surely a good source of food and care. Beyond that... Well, Sara will warm up to anyone.
[22:57]	<MissD>	Yes~
[22:57]	* `Sara	retorts.
[22:57]	<`Sara>	Not anyone.
[22:57]	<Sublimia>	Oh, right. I suppose I'm a bit too cold, even for you, hmm?
[22:57]	* MissD	licks Subby's face.
[22:58]	<MissD>	mm... tasty as usual too.
[22:58]	* Sublimia	pushes MissD away.
[22:58]	<MissD>	Nooo..
[22:58]	* MissD	clings on.
[22:58]	* `Sara	, accustomed to MissD's antics, ignores them.
[22:59]	<`Sara>	No, not too cold.
[22:59]	* `Sara	shivers a tiny bit.
[22:59]	<Sublimia>	My. I suppose I'm not trying hard enough, then.
[23:00]	* [Owen]Iris	doesn't understand Kovacs' literal meaning, but these two have always had an understanding.
[23:00]	<`Sara>	We just have differing views, occasionally.
[23:00]	* Sublimia	giggles.
[23:00]	* `Sara	subtly leans backwards to try and ease away from the freezing embrace.
[23:00]	<Sublimia>	That's what makes you worth my time, dear.
[23:00]	* Sublimia	separates.
[23:00]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Like... Ya realize that you girls ain't there no more, shit like that."
[23:01]	<[Owen]Iris>	"I wanna hang out after work with someone, and then it's like, aw fuck, nope, can't do that."
[23:01]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Cause you chicks ain't there."
[23:01]	* MissD	continues latching onto Subby like a leech.
[23:02]	<[Owen]Iris>	"I got used to havin' y'all around..."
[23:02]	<`Sara>	Glad I am worth it, I suppose.
[23:02]	* Sublimia	ignores her.
[23:03]	* `Sara	turns to Iris.
[23:03]	<`Sara>	<What was keeping you from travelling with us, anyway?>
[23:03]	<`Sara>	<Surely you could travel as an "ordinary" trainer?>
[23:03]	* Sublimia	returns to her snack.
[23:03]	<MissD>	A shame Iris~ I wanna have fun with you again...
[23:04]	* MissD	steals Sublimia's snack.
[23:04]	* [Owen]Iris	shakes her head.
[23:05]	* [9]Faraday	is now sitting down, her tongue still stuck out at whoever she happens to be looking at.
[23:05]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	So why did you all leave?
[23:05]	* Kovacs	continues to hug Iris, sniffling just a little.
[23:06]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Nope, Sara, can't. Lotta boring red tape and shit they made me sign, but short story is I can't."
[23:07]	<`Sara>	<What if we just happened to be around, I wonder?>
[23:07]	* [Owen]Iris	raises an eyebrow.
[23:07]	* Kovacs	nods, several times and very quickly.
[23:07]	* `Sara	knows a little about human buraucracy and so harbors only a little hope. Seeing her reaction, however, causes it to grow.
[23:08]	<Sublimia>	...Give it back, if you would.
[23:08]	<[Owen]Iris>	"We, you COULD, buuuut... if they catch us, we all fucked. All of us."
[23:08]	* MissD	smiles and floats off.
[23:09]	* Kovacs	smiles again.
[23:09]	* `Sara	gives a little psychic tug towards the stolen delectable, giving MissD some resistance.
[23:10]	<`Sara>	<... What if we really just happened to be around?>
[23:10]	<Kovacs>	<Maybe it would be hard, but it means being a step ahead, right?>
[23:10]	<`Sara>	<Being able to chat even weekly would be nice.>
[23:10]	* Kovacs	nods some more.
[23:11]	* `Sara	smiles.
[23:14]	* MissD	figjts back wvith immense effort, she starts to scream and strain.
[23:14]	* [Owen]Iris	shrugs.
[23:15]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Cell phone? Oh, wait... no, that wouldn't work. Like, at all."
[23:15]	* Kovacs	laughs a little.
[23:15]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	What is a... cell phone?
[23:15]	* MissD	lets out one last scream and yanks off only half.. damn that pyschic girl.
[23:17]	* [9]Faraday	scoffs
[23:17]	* `Sara	almost flings half of Sublimia's snack in absent-mindedness, but catches it before it does. She floats it back to Sublimia's table.
[23:17]	<[9]Faraday>	Pffft, you don't know what a cellphone is?
[23:18]	* `Sara	rolls her eyes.
[23:18]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	No. I had an honest birth in the wild.
[23:18]	* `Sara	speaks to Aleurna's mind.
[23:18]	<[9]Faraday>	More like a backwater birth in hickville, sounds like.
[23:18]	<`Sara>	(It's basically like this.)
[23:18]	* Sublimia	takes the snack back, glancng at Sara.
[23:18]	<`Sara>	(Except you have to use a machine.)
[23:18]	* `Sara	is facing away from Sublimia, towards the others.
[23:19]	<[9]Faraday>	Anyway, it's a weird little boxey machine that lets people talk to eachother from across the world.
[23:19]	* MissD	:T as she munches on what she haas.
[23:19]	<[9]Faraday>	Sometimes they flip and sometimes they're just boxes. Humans are kinda superficial about them.
[23:20]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Look, if you're THAT hellbent on keeping in touch, I'll like, tell some of the dock guys you're with me or whatever; they'll prolly let you on the boat s'long as it's just a few."
[23:21]	* MissD	finishes quickly and floats back to Iris with a cheerful glee.
[23:21]	<`Sara>	<That would be nice.>
[23:21]	<`Sara>	<There are a lot of us, though.>
[23:21]	<[Owen]Iris>	"S'not like anybody particularly CARES except for the Feds, anyways..."
[23:22]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Whatever. What happens happens."
[23:23]	* MissD	nods and cuddles up Iris's cheek.
[23:23]	<MissD>	Yay! Thank you Iris~
[23:23]	<[Owen]Iris>	"So what's Hammerpants' malfunction?"
[23:23]	* [Owen]Iris	asks as she cuddles with the whore~
[23:23]	* Kovacs	cheers, floating up and giving Iris an affectionate lick.
[23:23]	<`Sara>	<She's just a fighting type. She needs to prove herself to everyone. Or something.>
[23:23]	* [Zem]Aleurna	looks spooked at Sara. "A machine can do that?"
[23:24]	* [9]Faraday	spits.
[23:24]	<[9]Faraday>	That's not what I said at all! I said she smells nasty!
[23:24]	<`Sara>	<She doesn't hold a high opinion of anyone unless she has fought them, as you may tell.>
[23:24]	* `Sara	looks at Faraday again.
[23:24]	<`Sara>	_/there/.
[23:24]	<[9]Faraday>	Hey, tell her she smells bad.
[23:24]	<[9]Faraday>	C'moooon.
[23:25]	* `Sara	addresses Aleurna, shortly.
[23:25]	* [Owen]Iris	assessed that much from the attitude of her words. Punk.
[23:25]	<`Sara>	Yeah. Humans have made lots of neat things.
[23:25]	* [9]Faraday	shrugs and walks up to Iris, looking her dead in the eyes.
[23:25]	* [9]Faraday	pinches her nose, waves her other hand in front of it, and makes the most offended face she can.
[23:25]	* [Owen]Iris	's eyes are dull as usual, but she stares back.
[23:27]	<[Owen]Iris>	"I'm allowed to smoke, bitch."
[23:27]	* [Zem]Aleurna	is prepared to step between Faraday and Iris.
[23:27]	* [9]Faraday	waves her hand even faster in an attempt to convey just how badly she thinks the human smells.
[23:28]	* [Owen]Iris	rolls her eyes.
[23:28]	* `Sara	returns to eating her pudding.
[23:28]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Well then you shoulda smelt be back when I didn't work a 9-to-5."
[23:29]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Don't see me complaining about them god-awful pants, do you?"
[23:29]	* Kovacs	snickers.
[23:30]	<MissD>	My my.. she's getting burned~
[23:30]	* [9]Faraday	stops her hand gesturing to look down at her pants. A moment later she turns around, bends over to point her butt at Iris, and gives her the double-handed royal salute.
[23:31]	* `Sara	just eats and watches. o O ( You're just making a fool of yourself... )
[23:32]	* [Owen]Iris	could care less. She nonchalantly flips her the bird in response.
[23:32]	<[Owen]Iris>	"S'only offensive if ya got someone to offend. Like I care."
[23:33]	<MissD>	This is why I like Iris~
[23:33]	<MissD>	She doesn't take shit from anyone~
[23:33]	* [9]Faraday	turns back around and sits down. She decides to just glare at the human for now.
[23:34]	* [Owen]Iris	appreciates Pantsgirl's forward attitude.
[23:34]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Girl, you all right."
[23:34]	* [Owen]Iris	thumbs-up
[23:39]	<MissD>	Oh, Sara.. where are we going again?
[23:43]	<`Sara>	Well, we came here to find Iris, basically.
[23:44]	<MissD>	Well.. we found her...
[23:44]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	Do we have a plan for afterward?
[23:44]	* `Sara	chuckles.
[23:44]	<`Sara>	I guess not.
[23:47]	<MissD>	Well for now! I'd say lets spend some time with our old trainer!
[23:47]	* MissD	nods fervently.
[23:48]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	I don't mind that at all.
[23:48]	* Kovacs	hugs her old trainer again.
[23:48]	* Sublimia	has been very quiet.
[23:49]	<`Sara>	Nor I.
[23:51]	<Sublimia>	It'll be interesting, if nothing else.
[23:53]	<`Sara>	Definitely.

[23:57]	<GMOwen>	[Save early, save often. Those who bravely run away, live to maid another day.]

[00:48]	* [Owen]Cole	, finally being done with class for the day, was told by Iris to meet up at the park which the girls are currently at. He was told to expect their company, but after two months it's still a little weird.
[00:49]	* [Owen]Cole	sees a lot of commotion around Iris and opts to not get involved. He's still like that.
[00:49]	* Komacho	shows up at the park having dawdled behind a little bit. She walks up towards the group... and then she sees... HIM.
[00:49]	* Komacho	freezes like a deer in headlights
[00:50]	<Komacho>	[-ah... uwaah...]
[00:50]	* [Owen]Cole	notices the fighter-girl from long ago, though not really that long ago. Oh, her. She always acted kind of funny, but she meant well.
[00:52]	* Komacho	notices Cole noticing her and promptly bugs out, hiding behind the nearest comrade
[00:52]	* [Owen]Cole	recalls that meaning well and acting funny probably had something to do with that kiss she game him that one time...
[00:53]	* [Owen]Cole	still doesn't really know what to think about that; Iris got the boot not long after the incident.
[00:53]	* Komacho	promptly takes cover behind Aleurna
[00:54]	<Komacho>	[Oh Celebi, did he see me...?]
[00:54]	* Komacho	cautiously peeks out at Cole
[00:55]	* [Owen]Cole	doesn't really relish the idea of getting closer either. He makes a half-hearted wave, adjusting the strap of his messanger bag.
[00:55]	* MissD	is out in the open and waves at Cole happily, she smiles
[00:56]	* Komacho	eeps and hides again
[00:56]	* [Zem]Aleurna	looks at Cole appraisingly. What's he look like?
[00:58]	<Komacho>	[Uwaaahhh-!]
[01:00]	* Komacho	continues hiding in a very 'Cowering Remilia' fashion.
[01:02]	* MissD	speaks anyway, even though she probably knows that Cole won't understand much.
[01:02]	<MissD>	Hiii~
[01:03]	* [Owen]Cole	is getting all this attention from girls again! And he was JUST getting use to being a social recluse in school, too!
[01:03]	<[Owen]Cole>	"H-Hi, Miss D. Umm... good to, see you, I guess?"
[01:05]	* [Owen]Cole	fiddles with his glasses. Even though she's all small and ghostly, she's still... pretty. In... ways...
[01:06]	* [Owen]Cole	does his best not to think about "those" things.
[01:06]	* MissD	nods fervently and turns back to the others, grinning.
[01:06]	<MissD>	Yay!~ He's back girls.~ You too Komacho! Say hi.
[01:06]	* Komacho	is still hiding
[01:07]	* [Zem]Aleurna	waves at Cole. "You probably can't understand me."
[01:07]	* [Owen]Cole	shakes his head.
[01:07]	<[Owen]Cole>	"I uhh, can't, understand you. But, umm..."
[01:08]	* [Owen]Cole	looks in his bag for a pad of paper and a pen. He holds them out.
[01:08]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Can you... write?"
[01:09]	* [Owen]Cole	has never seen this one before. How many new girls did they end up picking up...?
[01:10]	* MissD	waves at Cole, she knows how to write!.. sorta.
[01:10]	<MissD>	Me! Me!
[01:10]	<Sublimia>	Oh, the child is here.
[01:14]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Is that those little squiggles that humans make that mean things?"
[01:14]	<MissD>	Y-yeah!.. A-and I know how to write it!
[01:14]	<MissD>	Well...~... sorta~
[01:15]	* [Owen]Cole	sits down cross-legged on the grass and hands Missy the paper. Or, tries to. How do ghosts pick things up...?
[01:15]	* Komacho	tries to peek at Cole again... and ends up stumbling into Aleurna!
[01:15]	<Komacho>	Uwah!
[01:16]	* Komacho	takes a tumble
[01:16]	* [Zem]Aleurna	manages to hold up Komacho.
[01:16]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"What are you so scared of, young lady?"
[01:16]	<Komacho>	I-I-I'm not scared...!
[01:16]	<Sublimia>	Everything scares her.
[01:16]	* Komacho	lies. Badly.
[01:17]	* Sublimia	settles down, observing the situation.
[01:17]	* Komacho	hides from Cole again. Also badly.
[01:17]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	<You are scared.>
[01:18]	* Komacho	closes her eyes and shakes her head quickly.
[01:18]	* Komacho	is blushing from the embarrassment of almost falling down, and in front of Cole, no less!
[01:19]	* [Owen]Cole	just finds it rather silly and not embarrassing. Aren't STRONG people supposed to be all balanced and stuff?
[01:20]	* MissD	takes it and writes "Hello. This. New.. girl. Aluerna. Also hii~"
[01:21]	* Komacho	usually is when she doesn't have butterflies in her stomach!
[01:21]	* MissD	shows it to Cole, still grinning.
[01:21]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"So Komacho, who is this character?"
[01:22]	* [Owen]Cole	can read words that are written on paper, like a smart human should be able to!
[01:22]	* MissD	then points to Aleurna here.
[01:23]	* Komacho	can't take this kind of pressure! She flees away from Aleurna and takes shelter behind Miss D instead
[01:23]	* Sublimia	sneaks up behind Komacho and pushes her through MissD.
[01:23]	<MissD>	Aawww..---ooh...aahh~!
[01:23]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Your heart quails at a simple friendly human!"
[01:23]	* MissD	squeals in delight being "felt" like this~
[01:24]	<Sublimia>	You're too timid.
[01:24]	<MissD>	Yeah!
[01:24]	<Komacho>	Uwah!
[01:25]	* MissD	then writes: "Glad to see you!~" Tilde included.
[01:25]	* Komacho	falls through Miss D and is left standing face-to-face with Cole. At least she didn't crash into him like last time.
[01:25]	<Komacho>	<Ah...>
[01:25]	* Komacho	is blushing profusely
[01:26]	* [Owen]Cole	was a little distracted by ghost antics and suddenly realizes there is a STRONG GIRL looking at him!
[01:27]	* Komacho	is so nervous she's shaking!
[01:28]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Oh. H-Hi, Koma..."
[01:28]	<MissD>	Don't worry Komacho~ You'll be fine!
[01:28]	<Komacho>	<-*>
[01:28]	* Komacho	opens her mouth to speak, but no words come out!
[01:28]	* [Owen]Cole	tries to hide his eyes behind his glasses, but that never works :|
[01:29]	* [Zem]Aleurna	goes up, wakes one of Komacho's hands, and puts it in one of Cole's hands.
[01:29]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"You are very glad to meet him. Try that."
[01:30]	* Komacho	has alarms go off in her head as she is now TOUCHING COLE
[01:30]	* [Owen]Cole	is holding a girl's hand! He, doesn't... really, know...
[01:31]	* Sublimia	smirks, watching the pair.
[01:31]	<Komacho>	<I-I-I-I-I-I-!>
[01:31]	<MissD>	This is fun~
[01:31]	* Komacho	is stuck in a feedback loop
[01:31]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Uhhh... O, kay..."
[01:32]	* [Owen]Cole	looks at their hands. He doesn't pull away, but... well, he really doesn't know what to do.
[01:33]	* MissD	then writes another note: "Komacho is happy to see you!~"
[01:33]	* MissD	giggles then shows Cole this one.
[01:33]	<[Owen]Cole>	"I, uhh... I can, see that. I think..."
[01:34]	<Komacho>	<Wh-what? What did you write, Miss D? What did you tell him?!>
[01:34]	<MissD>	"She is shy.~"
[01:34]	* Komacho	turns to her, distraught
[01:34]	<[Owen]Cole>	"I, I know, Miss D..."
[01:35]	<Komacho>	<D-don't tell him that!>
[01:35]	<MissD>	I said you missed him~ and is shy
[01:35]	* [Owen]Cole	is also shy. The perfect couple...?
[01:35]	* MissD	giggles at Komacho.
[01:35]	* MissD	writes another. " She wants a hug."
[01:36]	* [Owen]Cole	doesn't know how he feels about getting matchmade by Miss D and Aleurna.
[01:36]	<Komacho>	<Wait! What's that one say? Lemme see it before you show him!>
[01:36]	* Komacho	grabs at the note
[01:38]	* MissD	looks on with amusement.
[01:38]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Can you read, Komacho?"
[01:38]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	*<>
[01:39]	<Komacho>	<O-of course I can read! I'm not stupid!>
[01:39]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	<Well, could you teach me? I never learned out in the wild.>
[01:39]	* Komacho	blushes again. It should be noted that despite her protests, she hasn't let go of Cole's hand during any of this.
[01:41]	* [Owen]Cole	is looking skeptically as Miss D.
[01:41]	<Sublimia>	<How cute. It touches even my frozen, dead heart.>
[01:42]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Did she... really say that?"
[01:42]	* MissD	writes another." Yes~ And now you be a man and hug her!"
[01:42]	* MissD	is clearly having quite a bit of fun at her expense.
[01:43]	* Komacho	is distracted by Miss D, still trying to grab the notepad!
[01:45]	* [Owen]Cole	is inclined to believe through Koma's actions that this is probably not true.
[01:46]	* MissD	simply phases while she writes up another.
[01:47]	* Komacho	is getting quite disenheartened and really is starting to look like she could use a hug
[01:47]	<Komacho>	<Hey! Knock it off...!>
[01:48]	* MissD	writes a real one this time. "She is shy. She needs push, please help~"
[01:49]	* [Owen]Cole	doesn't know what to do! Everyone is being so crazy! He's not good with crazy!
[01:50]	<[Owen]Cole>	"I, uhh... this,, you're... someone, tell me what's going on?"
[01:52]	* MissD	writes another. " We get to see you and play. Iris said so."
[01:53]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Wha...? Th-that's not what I meant! Komacho, what's going on?"
[01:53]	<Komacho>	<Ah?>
[01:54]	<MissD>	Ahhh...
[01:54]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Is Miss D telling the, the truth...?"
[01:54]	* Komacho	stops and looks at Cole, blushing again
[01:54]	* Komacho	is still holding his hand
[01:54]	* MissD	figures out and then writes. "Komacho really likes you too~"
[01:57]	* Komacho	has no idea what Miss D has been writing, due to lack of getting the notepad from her
[01:57]	* [Owen]Cole	keeps reading the notepad, unsure...
[01:58]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Does... does she, really? But, I'm not a, Pokemon..."
[01:58]	* Komacho	suddenly realizes what Miss D wrote and her eyes go wide.
[01:59]	* Sublimia	smiles more widely.
[01:59]	* MissD	writes another. "Love transcends all boundaries!"
[01:59]	* MissD	nods this time truthfully!
[02:01]	* Komacho	is now blocking out everything else as she looks at Cole, scared of how he'll respond to the truth finally being revealed...
[02:01]	* Komacho	looks like she's about to cry
[02:01]	* [Owen]Cole	looks at Koma properly.
[02:02]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Koma, is... wait, why... you're not, it is, did I say...?"
[02:02]	* [Owen]Cole	cannot form complete sentences :|
[02:02]	* Komacho	's heart is thumping hard enough as to be audible.
[02:04]	* MissD	giggles.
[02:04]	<MissD>	I can do all I can Komacho~
[02:04]	<MissD>	Do your best!
[02:07]	* [Owen]Cole	is afraid it's something he did, now...
[02:07]	* MissD	writes the few final ones~ " Go for it Cole! Be a man and hug her!"
[02:08]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Miss, y-you're not helping!"
[02:09]	* [Owen]Cole	has half a mind to just stand up and lead Komacho away!
[02:11]	* [Zem]Aleurna	pushes Cole and Komacho together.
[02:11]	<Komacho>	!!!
[02:11]	* Komacho	is pushed into a hug!
[02:11]	<[Owen]Cole>	"Gwah?!"
[02:11]	<Komacho>	Uwah?!
[02:12]	<MissD>	Yay!
[02:12]	* MissD	cheers!
[02:13]	* [Owen]Cole	is hugging! He's really sure how to feel about this, but... like the hand, he's not letting go.
[02:14]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	<Finally.>
[02:14]	* Komacho	is petrified at first, but when she notices that Cole isn't trying to pull away, she looks up at him as if to ask "Why aren't you running away?"
[02:15]	* [Owen]Cole	looks back nervously.
[02:15]	<[Owen]Cole>	"...h-hi..."
[02:15]	<Komacho>	<H-hi...>
[02:16]	* Sublimia	claps softly.
[02:17]	* Komacho	, now with the pleasantries aside, goes back to hugging Cole. Slowly, the nervousness melts away and is replaced with a deep happiness that she hasn't felt since the day she got to sit next to Cole while he was reading her his boring science books.
[02:19]	* [Owen]Cole	feels... nice. He doesn't really knows what's supposed to come of this, but... it's nice.
[02:19]	* Komacho	after calming down, turns to Miss D
[02:20]	<Komacho>	<...can I have the notepad?>
[02:20]	<MissD>	<Of course.>
[02:20]	* MissD	hands her it.
[02:21]	* Komacho	takes it, then turns to Cole and writes a messy note. Her writing is nowhere near as good as Miss D's.
[02:21]	<Komacho>	"go together?"
[02:22]	* Komacho	then points over towards the small pond in the park, where there's a park bench
[02:23]	* [Owen]Cole	looks at the note, and nods.
[02:23]	<[Owen]Cole>	"S-Sure... okay."
[02:24]	* [Owen]Cole	is too shy to blush.
[02:24]	* Komacho	's eyes brighten as she leads Cole away from the others and heads over to the bench...
