"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.]

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.]

So.. Amazing? Wonderful? Irresistible and charming?

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

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.]

[ no... he just looks confused. ]

What word?

[ nom nom on melon. ]

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?

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

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

What, you feeling bashful?

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

...Unless they're also princesses.

Edited 2015-07-14 02:31 (UTC)

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.]

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.

[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.]

[ 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. ]

[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.

[ stop that. Riku you big doof. ]

I can get you back just as easily you know.

[ all he has to do is give the goober one little kiss and that's that. BUT FOR NOW. Sora spits out a few more seeds. ]

So what happens when I win this, huh?

When I win, you have to delete all those princess pictures.

[Pew, pew! More seeds. He's feeling pretty good about this now.]

Why? Are you afraid of not being seen as manly?

[ reeeaching for another bit of melon. ]

Oh, I know I'm manly. I just don't want those to see the light of day...

[CHOMP. And there's another one, soaring just a few inches further than the last.]

Pfft. Like I would post them?

[ Riku... Riku you wound him. :( ]

Hey, you had no problem posting footage of me dressed in ribbons.

[Stranger things have happened, though it's said with a hint of a smirk.]

That's still a little different than what I pulled this last time.

[ ribbons are so tame in comparison. ]

Okay, so maybe it was more extreme, but I'm surprised you haven't taken advantage of it. We're always giving each other a hard time.

[It's not that he doesn't appreciate it; he does, but... man, was it wrong of him to assume the worst in this case? Rather than spitting another seed, he falls silent, mulling this over.]

Yeah, but making that public? A little humiliating, Riku. I wouldn't go that far...

[ Sora takes a bite of melon and chews it. ]

Unless you did something to deserve it.

[ a little grin. ]

Well, fine, but now I'm not sure about the prize.

[Hmm, so for a change of base.]

Tell you what. You say what you want if you win, and I'll think of something else. Deal?

[Might as well make things interesting.]

Maybe I don't know either.

[ Sora tilts his head back and he lurches forward. to launch one of those seeds. ]

Really I just kinda wanted your company. Honest.

Yeah, but what's a contest without its stakes?

[Heh, he'll do the same after chomping down on a particularly large bite.]

Not like you even have to ask for my company.

[And it's here that he does something sappy by loosely wrapping an arm around him.]
