"This is Riku. Looks like you just missed me, so leave a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

If you're here for Training Center business, press 0, and I'll redirect you to our info."

[Should characters press 0, they'll be presented with a list of options:

1. Purchase pass.
2. Arrange battle.
3. Arrange private training.
4. Rental services.
5. Job opportunities.
6. Pokémon roster.

If your character presses 6, the following list will appear:]








[A second list pops up labeled "All-Out Only:"]



[A third and final list pops up labeled "Special Requests:"]



[If a character clicks on a Pokémon, a menu will pop up listing their stats, moves, whether they're available for rent, and their current status. See here for details.]

PGC contact;

[However, that's not all. Riku's set up a secure line, with its own automated message.]

"You've reached the Pokemon Guardian Corps. If you're here to report an emergency, press 1. If you're here to join the cause, press 2. For all other purposes, stay on the line."

[ooc: Please head your comments appropriately with video, text, and voice and note if you're calling for Training Center Arrangements.

For OOC Training Center business, please note which service you'd like to arrange. For rentals, list the Pokémon your character is requesting, what they'll be used for, and the total cost if your char is after more than one. I'm more than happy to handwave pass purchases, since I realize that repeatedly noting purchases could get a little time consuming.

For a job, I'm cool with an IC interview or OOC coordination. Whatever works best.]

Comments

[islandshore]

[Chew, chew, chew, spit!

Thankfully, he's not spitting at Sora's face, but he is gonna reach out to ruffle his hair.]

Just wait. I'll get you one of these days.

[heartdive]

[ don't mind Sora, Riku. this time he might actually lean into the ruffling. at least he's smiling while spitting seeds. ]

You can try.

[islandshore]

[See, that just makes Riku lean closer, his sly smirk impossible to miss.]

Hmm, I'd say I got a few points in my favor, like what happened in the hallway...

[He's trying to look suave. It may not work, but he's giving it his best shot.]

[heartdive]

[ oh. Riku doesn't have to be suave. just the memory makes color bloom on Sora's cheeks.

and maybe he's choking on some melon. or that might be him clearing his throat. ]

One or two points. Tops.

[islandshore]

[Oooh, a blush. That just makes Riku's grin grow even wider after he casually chomps another bite.]

More than just one or two, I'd say. Don't forget what happened after that whole princess mess.

[He tips his chin up, pleased with himself.]

[heartdive]

[ yeah that blush is now reaching his ears. just... going to shove his mouth with more watermelon.

nope. not talking. ]

[islandshore]

[PFFFT. Watch as he bursts out laughing.]

What, not even a comeback? Guess that puts me in the lead.

[CHOMP, spit.]

[heartdive]

[ oh just you wait. Sora takes a bite of melon... waits for Riku to finish. then launches his attack.

which means he's grabbing Riku's face and kissing him. full determined to shove that bite of melon into his smug friend's mouth.

of course he'll pull away a second later. licking his fingers. ]

[islandshore]

[And now Riku's face is as red as that melon. Also wide-eyed, because he did not expect that.

Just gonna... swallow that bit of melon, even if that's kinda weird. Also, he's staring at Sora as he licks his fingers, brows furrowing in mild frustration.]

Oh, you think you're so cool, don't you?

[Careful, Sora. He's contemplating. That's never a good sign...]

[heartdive]

[ might even be looking up at Riku all innocent like now. ]

Who, me? Nah. You're the one that aims to be cool, Riku. I'm the dork, remember?

[islandshore]

That's right.

[And now he's grabbing Sora by the front of his shirt, pulling him close and snickering.]

Besides, shoving half-chewed melon into my mouth is kinda ridiculous.

[heartdive]

[ that certainly catches him by surprise, if anything! c'mon Riku... look into those baby blues and just try to do something mean. ]

You kinda deserve it.

[islandshore]

Says the guy who covered me in pink paint.

[He rolls his eyes, loosening but not relinquishing his grip.]

You're lucky you're so...

[Man, why are words so hard? There's a couple adjectives he could use, but.]

Well, you're lucky. I'll just keep it at that.

[And have a quick peck on the lips or good measure before he returns to his melon.]

[heartdive]

So.. Amazing? Wonderful? Irresistible and charming?

[ yeap. Sora is going to supply Riku with all of those answers. ]

[islandshore]

Don't push your luck.

[Heh...]

There's a four letter word that would probably embarrass the heck out of you. I'm tempted to use it, but I don't know. It's just not me...

[Cute's not really the word he had in mind, anyway, but it's fun testing Sora with vague nonanswers.]

[heartdive]

[ no... he just looks confused. ]

What word?

[ nom nom on melon. ]

[islandshore]

What, you're not even gonna guess?

[DEEP SIGH. Gosh, Sora. Use that head every once in a while.]

Starts with a C. Kinda narrows your options, don't you think?

[heartdive]

[ yeah... yeah it kind of does. and it makes Sora punch Riku on the shoulders. ]

[islandshore]

[Pff. He gives him a small push in return.]

What, you feeling bashful?

[heartdive]

More like I'm not cute at all. Guys aren't cute.

...Unless they're also princesses.

[islandshore]

See, that's what I've been trying to tell you the whole time, but you're the one who's been calling me the princess...

[He'll just casually drape an arm over Sora's shoulder.]

Seriously, though, it's not far from the truth.

[The adorable part, not so much the princess part.]

[heartdive]

You are the princess. I have the photos to prove it.

[ gives a smug little look to Riku. then maybe spits a seed at him. ]

I think you're exaggerating.

[islandshore]

[Oh yeah? Well, Riku spits a seed right back at him.]

What, would you prefer it if I said handsome?

[Have a teasing eyelash flutter as he says this. That's another word that's not really in Riku's vocabulary.]

[heartdive]

[ uh............ hold on a minute. he's pretty sure Riku is just teasing.

but his face is still pretty red anyway. ]

No...

[ stop being dumb. ]

[islandshore]

[Sora just made a terrible mistake, because now Riku's wearing a shark-like grin.]

Hmmm... Nah, I think you do.

[He casually chomps and spits another seed, thankfully not at Sora this time.]

You make this way too easy.
