"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.]

It's not that. I thought maybe you'd think I went a little too far or that it was too dorky or -

[ you know what? he's just going to stop there. Sora's going to sit down next to Riku and just have a good time. ]

I just thought that it's been a while since it was just you and me camping out.

[Know what? He'll put a hand over Sora's for some extra reassurance.]

Hey, glad you thought of it. I don't think I could've come up with a setup like this.

[ Riku, that's probably the cutest thing you've ever done. and it makes Sora's heart soar. ]

I'm sure you could have, Riku. You just need to let your inner softie out more.

You sure that's a good idea? It'd probably throw things out of balance. Somebody's gotta counteract all your sap, anyway.

[Even if he'd love to do more. Just seeing Sora's reactions is worth it, and it feels good, too.]

Me? You're saying that I am the only person in this relationship that's sappy? Riku, please. You're about as intimidating and manly as Fluffy is.

Pfft. I'm more intimidating than you.

[And just for that, he's giving a playful shove.]

And at least I'm more grounded. Probably more cynical, too.

No you're not. You're even fluffier than I am.

[ instead of shoving Riku, he picks up a sandwich and shoves it into his boyfriend's mouth. ]

[MMPH. Darn it, Sora. He is taking that first bite and he is grabbing that sandwich, and he is CHEWING that bite so he can actually talk.

...And shoving a sandwich in Sora's mouth as payback.]

So you're just gonna forget all the times I've teased you? Or pushed you around? Or dropped crabs down your shirt?

[The last one's accompanied by a smirk.]

[ good thing he's not going to choke. instead there's this giggle that bubbles up in his throat as he chews and attempts to swallow. ]

Those crabs hurt you know.

Yeah, because they weren't soft, plus they had pincers.

[He leans back, taking another big chomp.]

You sure I'm still the biggest sap here?

[ Sora huffs and just goes back to eating his sandwich. WAY TO RUIN THE MOOD, RIKU.

only he hasn't. Riku just is right and Sora is pouty for it. ]

[He pats Sora on the shoulder, practically glowing with smugness.]

There, there. I swear I won't give you a surprise Krabby attack.

That's so very reassuring, Riku.

[ which means not very reassuring at all. ]

Aww, c'mon. Do you really think I'd hurt you now?

[He gives the most innocent smile, complete with wide eyes and one hand clasped over his chest. The purest of the pure...

Except it's Riku, so he's still a snot.]

Yeah. Yeah I do.

[ yeah and Sora isn't having any of that. what a turd nugget. ]

How? I'm empty handed.

[See? He'll even dig into his pockets, but nope. Nothing!]

The day is only half over and the night is long.

[ :) could be some 'fun' in store later, right? ]

[He leans closer, grinning slyly.]

Are you saying you want me to hurt you?

[ asdfasdf Riku what are you doing... ]

Uh... What?

[ ffft. what are you up to. ]

I mean, if you want me to take off the safety gloves, I can. Nothing's stopping me from hunting down a Krabby right now for old time's sake...

[Will he? Probably not, but it's still fun to joke about.]

Riku. Riku please... It's Christmas.

[ look at this pout. LOOK AT IT. don't do this to him. ]

[Sigh. His smirk shrinks a little, and he shakes his head.]

C'mon, Sora. I wouldn't really do that, especially now, and especially after all the work you put into this.

[ and as soon as Riku issues that apology? Sora's grinning. bingo! ]

Good. You owe me for this anyway.

Heh. No kidding. I'm not even sure how I'll top this. Gonna have to step up my game before Valentine's Day, or I'll never catch up.

[Not that this is a contest, but it's still fun to phrase it like one.]

Good thing you have just about two months to prepare for it, Riku.
