"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.]

[ t'was a late night in the house. not a creature was stirring, not even a little electrical mouse. ...this was going to be the start of an action tag with a poem and a rhyme, but really this player doesn't have the time.

Riku had been reading most of the night and Sora, usually bored might have done something to disturb him. not this time. instead Sora had amused himself with some reading of his own.

after some time, Sora puts away his own reading. leans against the armrest of Riku's chair. ]

Hey. Hey Riku.

[When Sora pops up, Riku hastily tucks the books behind his back, jaw clenched and body tensing for the span of a few short seconds.

Why hide the books? The subject matter, mainly. It's kinda embarrassing, but he'll brush it off with a forced chuckle and lean back, draping an arm over the opposite arm rest.]

Heh. You need something?

[ Riku really shouldn't worry. Sora wouldn't have noticed what the guy's reading at all.

but right now? Sora's got that half asleep look going on. ]

How long are you gonna be up?

[But it's still embarrassing as heck. Thankfully, Sora hasn't asked, so he'll just lean back, propping his cheek up with one hand while he gives a one-shouldered shrug.]

Long enough, I guess. Why, you ready to pass out?

Mmmn.

[ pretty noncommittal sounding there. so Sora leans over and bumps his head against Riku's ]

Be right back, kay?

Okay. Not like I'm going anywhere.

[He'll just watch Sora on his way out, sneakily pulling out the book for a moment when he leaves. Just another peek. Maybe he can skim...]

[ it's a few minutes, so Riku has time. basically Sora does his night routine. cleans his face. tries to brush out hair. brush teeth.... and finally change.

only he comes back wearing one of Riku's old pj bottoms. hopefully the other doesn't mind that so much as Sora plants himself right behind Riku. well draping over the back of the chair anyway. ]

[At first, Riku doesn't notice. His nose is in the book, and his face is all crinkled as he reads through the contents.

But he's got a built-in Sora radar, so as soon as he makes it about halfway to the chair, he snaps the book shut again and tucks it away, snorting at Sora's choice in attire.]

Is there a reason why you raided my room?

[He really doesn't mind, but it's amusing. And totally dorky; not that he'd have it any other way.]

Felt like it.

[ reeeeeaching across to ruffle him some biffle hair. ]

Yours are comfy.

[And he reaches up to catch that hand because no, no hair ruffles today.]

Comfy, sure, but aren't they a little big for you? Who's to say you won't walk right out of them?

[ ha! fell for his trap. tired!Sora kind of twines his fingers with Riku's. grinning. ]

You might like it if I did.

[ but they won't. the tie is tied well enough. ]

[Okay, so there might be a bit of redness to his cheeks because of that comment, but you know what? He's gonna run with it. He'll even crack one of those sly Riku smirks.]

I didn't know you could read minds.

[ gonna run with it huh? okay. ]

Just yours. Sometimes.

Heh. Still surprised that came out of your mouth. Is there something you'd like to share with the class?

He shifts backwards in his seat, which is slightly awkward because of the books, but eh. He'll deal.]

Been almost a year and a half. Kinda adults too.

[ if Riku is going to lean back, then Sora is going to lean forward. so what if he can't ruffle Riku's hair. he can put his nose in it. like a sleepy hedgehog. ]

Well... I'm an adult. You're an old man.

Hate to break it to you, but if I'm an old man, that means you're next.

[He gives Sora a light tap on the forehead.]

But yeah, we're adults, and yeah, it's not that weird.

[It's there that his smirk grows slightly sheepish, and he shifts the book to the arm of the chair.]

Except you're still a dork who gets excited about Santa Claus.

Nope. Forever young here.

[ still smiling into Riku's hair. maybe snickering a little. ]

You also would like it. And maybe you should think about things like Santa Claus. Might make you younger.

Pfft. Maybe, or maybe I'd regress into a dorky kid.

[He kinda likes being the mature one, okay? It's part of his schtick.]

Guess I shouldn't be surprised how casually you're taking it, though. And I guess I can tell you that I've been thinking about that kinda stuff. Heh... kinda makes me feel weird.

[He doesn't want to seem like he's a sicko or anything, but. Well. It is what it is sometimes.]

Spoilers, Riku. You still are dorky.

[ Sora's tired brain really is trying to process those words. they are serious words. they should be replied to also seriously. ]

I do too, really. Kinda a lot. Maybe I should feel weird, but why? It's not wrong.

[ yeah he can't express it properly. not this late. ]

But I figure my heart hasn't led me wrong before. Why would it now? I should just follow it even with this stuff. So there's nothing to feel weird about.

...No, it's not wrong. I just... heh. It's still new, you know? I mean, we've gone pretty far, but nothing like that...

[He's beating around the bush verbally a bit, but hopefully the implication isn't totally lost to Sora. Then again, it is late, and Sora's almost in Snorlaxville.]

[ it takes a minute... then Sora hides his face in all of that hair. yeah blushing a bit. they can beat around the bush. it's not a conversation they've had... ]

Yeah...

[ he's okay with going at this pace. really, he is. ]

Eventually. No rush.

Yeah, I know. But I've, heh, been reading up on it.

[He casts a quick glance to one of the books, grateful that Sora's face is currently hidden in his hair because it means he's not looking at Riku's face right now.]

But it's weird. I mean, you kinda have to expect some level of weirdness with the mechanics and stuff, but geez.

[He waves a hand, though, because he's probably overthinking like always.]

And I bet you're gonna say something cheesy, about how we should go with our hearts, make it special and all that.

I should probably do that some time too. Maybe it should be special and all that... But it'd be better to know what we're doing.

[ not going in blind and all of that. for once Sora is thinking things through. won't Riku be proud. ]

Hey, if you want to know...

[He scoops up the book, waving it back and forth.]

But I warn you: it's kinda intense.

[He figures it's too late for Sora to go through that kinda reading material, but it's Riku. He's gotta tease.]

[ Sora looks up. so THAT'S what Riku's reading about. he groans. ]

Maybe another time. M'tired. Bed time.
