[Now on the right day, s-sob With the Pokemon singing to encourage happiness, one might think someone already as cheerful as Minnie wouldn’t be affected. And you’d be wrong. She’s not only affected, but in fact due to her Disney nature, she is full on DRUNK on the good vibes the Pokemon are sending. Maybe she accepted it way too easily because some of her good friends have gone home. Maybe she was already in the lovey dovey mood because of the holidays. Or maybe Pokemon are just that strong and freaking weird. Anyway, what are the consequences?
Minnie is now going back and forth between Saffron and Goldenrod, cleaning up everyone’s homes and other buildings, and pretty much everything in her path. She doesn’t wait for an invitation, she outright invades! With a broom in her hand, she’s encouraging her Pokemon to help along – Noctowl, Glameow, Skorupi, Dragonite, and Medicham – and finally, perhaps worst of all, she’s singing rounds of ‘Spoonful of Sugar,’ and ‘Whistle While You Work’. This might get annoying after a while, but you try telling her that. She’s going in every building, in every room, on every path and street, cleaning up to her heart’s content.
So you can have Action in either city, no matter where you are, or you could watch the insanity via Video, since Yen Sid the Medicham still likes using the Pokegear to point out how weird his mistress is.]

2012-02-17 22:11 (UTC)[Action for Goldenrod. Be sure to tell me if this is okay!]
2012-02-14 19:27 (UTC)... I suggest you rest, Minnie. I realize that this place has many customers, but they also have hired staff taking care of the cleaning. Your concern, while admirable, is wholly unneeded.
[Action. A-O-K!]
2012-02-14 20:25 (UTC)Hello, Gorthan~!
[She skips - yes, skips - on over to him.]
Those wonderful, hard working people deserve a break~! I just want to help out everyone~! Is there any way I can help you out too~?
no subject
2012-02-15 02:41 (UTC)[He gestures to the empty seat next to him. His loneliness is no mystery to Minnie by this point, so why hide it?
... Also, spending time with her sounds like the best idea of all right now. For some reason.]
This is not the sort of cleaning spree whose aim is to prevent your thoughts from drifting towards misery, is it?
[It certainly doesn't look like it, but he'd rather make sure.]
no subject
2012-02-15 02:48 (UTC)[She waves to her Pokemon.] You take care of things while I see my friend~!
[So she takes a seat next to him, brimming with cheer.]
What do I have to be miserable about~? My friends are safe and happy, it's the month of love, and this day is absolutely beautiful~! In fact, it just got better, because I get to be with one of my bestest friends~!
no subject
2012-02-15 03:03 (UTC)[Gorthan smiles, as he sips his tea. He might not be the best at displaying what he feels, but he's really happy to have found Minnie here, and there's a certain glint in his eyes that definitely gives it away.]
... It's my first Valentine's Day as an earthling. I thought... I thought I would be miserable, and spend all day consumed by feelings of envy towards what I cannot hope to ever have.
[At which he turns to look at all the couples sitting together in the bar. ... A certain thought strikes him - my, my, don't Minnie and Gorthan look a lot like they may be one of them right now - but he brushes it off with a small, silent laugh.]
... But... that is not what is happening. And how could it happen? The atmosphere is simply exhilarating. Contagiously so. And...
[He shifts his gaze again, now staring directly into Minnie's eyes.]
... I am overwhelmed by such beauty.
[... He has no idea why he's doing it, but he extends a hand, and suddenly his fingers are playing with Minnie's hair, feeling its texture and adjusting locks into composure.]
no subject
2012-02-15 03:08 (UTC)After all, while a small voice lingers a warning in the back of Minnie's head, it's all but drowned out by the 'good vibes', and she giggles at Gorthan.]
Happy Valentine's Day~! I hope the rest are just as happy~! After all, if a friend of mine is happy, then so am I~!
[And when he plays with her hair? More laughing it off!]
Oh, why thank you~! At first I thought I'd never get used to having hair like this, but now I really like it~! I'd like to keep it, if I could~! Would you believe the first few months I was here, I thought I was ugly because I was different~?
[Teeheehee.]
no subject
2012-02-15 03:34 (UTC)[He lets go of her hair. That was... a pleasant sensation, one to be remembered and cherished.]
Besides, no matter the body you might find yourself in, the purity and beauty of your soul simply shine through regardless.
[While he's not touching her anymore, he leans closer to her as if to admire her better.]
no subject
2012-02-15 03:38 (UTC)[She puts her hands on the table, lifting herself up a tad, and then leans over, giving him a smooch right on the cheek. One of her feet even pops up behind her.
Yen Sid's jaw drops, and he tries to tell his comrades what's happening, but they're just trying to mind their own business.]
You really do have such a way with words~!
[And she pops right back down in her seat, probably oblivious to what impact her act of friendship just did.]
no subject
2012-02-15 03:45 (UTC)... unexpected may be putting it lightly.
His breath quickened and his heart racing, Gorthan retreats as soon as Minnie does. His jaw falls open and his blue eyes widen as he stares at her in utter silence, trying to find... not words, he's not asking for that much, but maybe some kind of coherent thought to hold on to for a reaction.
Nervously, he brushes his dreadlocks into place with one hand.]
... I hope you realize that you just kissed an Evronian. Perhaps I haven't made you properly aware of what we are. Of what we do.
[Seriously, even aside from the husband thing? You just don't kiss an Evronian. It is just not something one does.]
no subject
2012-02-15 03:49 (UTC)[To emphasize that, she pats his hand a few times, trying to get him to calm down. Why, gosh, it was just a kiss. So what?]
I know what you are and who you are and what you do, and you're still my friend~! Nothing will ever change that~. Do you not want me to treat you that way~?
no subject
2012-02-15 03:56 (UTC)[He admits that, turning his gaze away from her and back to his teacup, which he empties.]
But. As I am unable to reciprocate, all I can think of is how unfair it is to you. That you are always giving me so much, when what I can give you is so little... Sorrow taints my gratitude to you, Minnie.
no subject
2012-02-15 04:01 (UTC)Don't you remember what I told you~? I don't make friendships to see what I can get out of them~! I just like having your company~! And you can always reciprocate~!
[She pokes her cheek, to give him an idea. Yen Sid face palms with both palms.]
no subject
2012-02-15 04:13 (UTC)[You cannot possibly mean that, and Gorthan turns away from her again, because he knows that he could. He has never kissed anyone, quite obviously, and for Minnie to be his very first... actually sounds like a really good idea, because he feels safe with her, and she's really the best friend he has in Johto, and she's so...
... She's just so special to him.]
I have never kissed anyone, Minnie.
[That's all he can manage, his voice barely audible over the noise at the bar.]
no subject
2012-02-15 12:25 (UTC)[To be fair, even without the lovey-dovey vibes, she has kissed several people before... on the cheek and forehead, and they were usually children. To help him out, sort of, she began braiding her hair so there was room for him to do it.]
It's all part of the big emotional experience~! And you know I'd do anything to help you with your emotions~!
[She even starts humming as she knots her hair together.]
no subject
2012-02-15 15:01 (UTC)[Normally, the idea that anyone would suggest actively helping him feel more would cause a mixed reaction, offending Gorthan and flattering him at the same time. ... Today, he's just very, very flattered. Embarrassed, even.]
As much as I feel grateful that you suggested this at all... I would rather... not. Not in front of all these people, at least...
[After all, his emotions are something he had to learn to keep to himself. If he's going to engage in public displays of affection, he's not going to... make them as public.]
no subject
2012-02-15 15:10 (UTC)[Because today, more than ever, Minnie won't give up. She gets out of her seat, and grabs Gorthan by the hand, trying to tug him along. ]
We can stop by the Center, or somewhere else private~! There's nothing to be afraid of, and on the way, I can give you your Valentine's chocolate~! Oooh, won't this be fun~?
[Yes, nothing more fun than dragging your 'friend' off to a secluded place just to make him kiss you on the cheek in a platonic matter while shoving chocolate down his throat. Yen Sid is just giving up on this madness.]
no subject
2012-02-15 15:28 (UTC)[Congratulations on making one of Evron's most celebrated orators lose the ability to speak coherently. But in spite of the reluctance expressed by the few words he's managed to utter, he's already standing up, swiftly paying for his drink before he loses himself into Minnie's enthusiasm and allows her to lead him wherever she choses to.]
no subject
2012-02-15 15:33 (UTC)[In fact, just to make sure he doesn't go anywhere, she holds onto his arm. She continues humming, very ready to burst into song all over again. Her Pokemon obediently follow, keeping a respectful distance, but Yen Sid is glaring at Gorthan. Fortunately, the Center is close, and only a few passing nurses are around. Once they're in...]
Blair~! Could you be a darling and fetch me my Valentines~?
[Blair the Glameow mews, and off she scampers to fetch it. Minnie turns back to Gorthan, bright and cheery.]
There, we aren't in public anymore~. You can do whatever you want now, I'm all yours~!
no subject
2012-02-15 15:44 (UTC)Minnie!
[Now, normally he'd go on and on about how Minnie is a married woman and all of this is an incredibly bad idea. So incredibly bad that, really, most other incredibly bad ideas look good by comparison. But today... today is different. So different...]
... Thank you for putting up with me, Minnie, in spite of all the trouble that I have given you. In spite of the pain that I must have caused you. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you... for everything.
[That said, he lowers himself to face her and holds her close to him, hugging her for what he thinks is the first time, and is actually his second.
... There is still no kiss yet, because, while he's way past the stage where he sees it as an odd custom that Earthlings have, it's just so damn embarrassing.]
no subject
2012-02-15 15:50 (UTC)You don't need to thank me~! But you're welcome all the same~. I'll always be your friend, no matter what happens~. I promise~.
[Well, even without the mushy tones and overuse of tildes, she does mean that. And she'll just keep on hugging him and find no reason to pull away until he does... eventually. Even when Blair comes back, holding a small satchel in her mouth, containing chocolates and a book of poetry.]
no subject
2012-02-15 15:56 (UTC)You and the hero are truly the best and most incredible people I have ever met.
[And that is when it will happen.
It will be a weird experience, his whole body trembling as his lips meet Minnie's cheek in a quick, shy, heartfelt kiss. He parts the following moment, however, averting Minnie's gaze pensively, a bit ashamed. Dear Evron, what has he done.
... Just one more of those things that there is no turning back from, most likely.
He just keeps becoming more and more like an earthling these days, doesn't he.]
no subject
2012-02-15 16:07 (UTC)She blinks once, twice, three times... Something tries to speak up in her head - once the singing Pokemon leave, she's going to have a lot to be embarrassed about... but the vibes take over, and she smiles again, looking rather proud of the situation.]
I knew you could do it~! Heehee, and I bet I was your first~! See, it wasn't so hard~!
[Blair mews again, getting minnie's attention.]
Oh, and now you can get your first Valentine~! This day is just absolutely wonderful~!
[she picks up the satchel, and takes the items out. The first is a heart shaped chocolate, handmade of course, and the second is a book of poetry that Minnie guessed at random he'd enjoy.]
Here you go~! I hope you like them~. I just wanted your first Valentine's Day to be the happiest I could make it~.
no subject
2012-02-15 20:55 (UTC)[He's blushing wildly now, something that would never happen if he were in his usual body. He blushes even more as he takes the proffered objects in his hands.]
... You are too kind, Minnie. Truly I don't know how to thank you... You know how much I appreciate poetry, and... did you make this especially for me? You are wonderful beyond what words can express...
[He... has no idea what to do with the chocolate. It... looks really pretty, but it also looks like something he would rather not eat, because ever since finding himself in his new body, all he's eaten are simple foods, and he hasn't experienced any strong flavor yet.
... Maybe he'll just keep it as a trophy or something along those lines.]
no subject
2012-02-15 21:09 (UTC)Oh, you~! You're just way too sweet~! I made Valentines for all of my friends, but I didn't know if you liked chocolate or not, so I got the book to make it extra special~. And I love good poetry too~!
[She puts her hands behind her, rocking back and forth on her heels, dress going swish-swish. Apparently she's back in the 1940s or something equally ridiculous.]
You know, I've already sent out the rest of my Valentines, so my day is empty~. If there's anything you want to do today or any way I can help you even more, you just say the word~.
no subject
2012-02-16 18:55 (UTC)[Shaking his head, dreadlocks swaying along with the movement, Gorthan temporarily sets Minnie's precious gifts on the nearby table.]
No words for all the joy it brings me to have you in my life.
[And with that, he holds her in his arms again, squeezing her tighter than before, before he releases her.]
As for our plans for today...
[He takes Minnie's presents and neatly inserts them in his bag.]
... Since I was unable to prepare a present for you, I will leave you free to choose it among all that is available in this city. Anywhere, and no matter the price. So, Minnie... what will it be?
no subject
2012-02-16 19:04 (UTC)Hmmm~... why don't we walk around until we find something we both like~? And it's always good to just walk and talk with friends~.
[She turns to her Pokemon, nodding...]
You can all take a break~! I'll be spending the day with Gorthan~! Be good, my little darlings~!
[No objections there, and the Pokemon begin retreating back to her room... Save for Yen Sid, who gives one more glare to Gorthan - 'back off.' Then he follows his comrades.]
Huh~? I wonder what that was all about~. I wonder if the silly dear is jealous~.
no subject
2012-02-16 19:11 (UTC)You truly cannot think of anything you want?
[He watches the Medicham as he walks off. There's a bit of a smug grin appearing on Gorthan's face.]
I am afraid he does not have the right to be jealous, after his open mockery of you not too long ago.
[That said, he will offer his arm to Minnie. ... The extreme height difference will make it really awkward, but.]
Come.
no subject
2012-02-16 19:16 (UTC)[and she will take his arm, more than happy to be guided along, clinging gentle to him.]
He's like a little boy with a crush~. One moment he's teasing, the next he's kind~. He was one of the stolen ones, you know, so maybe that time affected him~.
[You'd think she would sound upset over just a thing, but, well... ~~~~~~ and all that.]
GF thinks Keywords are apt for this. I have to agree [Action for Goldenrod]
2012-02-15 00:09 (UTC)The shadow however will keep following you, from house to house for as long as your in Goldenrod however.
Watching...
Waiting...
Admiring...~]
alsdfgj LOL [action]
2012-02-15 00:17 (UTC)Is there something wrong, Yen Sid~? I can't imagine anything being wrong today~!
[Action] Russia's new name is Helga Pataki I swear...
2012-02-15 00:58 (UTC)How he longed to admit his true feelings and hope that, for just one moment they would be returned; that, perhaps, something more than a friendship could blossom within the acrid wasteland that had once been his heart?]
...
[Stalking apparently does all this and more, because he's stopping his watching from behind this wall. Also, what the fuck was that? He needs to get some air or something- these good vibes are getting crazy bro.]
[Action] so minnie is... basketball-head
2012-02-15 01:04 (UTC)Hello there~! Good day to youuu~!
[Action]Tri-ball-head. Triple Basketball action, oh yes
2012-02-15 01:18 (UTC)[If he knew it had been Yen Sid that had given away his hiding place he would have called him a traitor... And then realised the irony of that statement. However, he had to act fast.
By... Standing there for three seconds looking gormless before pegging it away from Minnie to the other side of the building and rounding the corner. He can watch her from there.
Today he is obviously all of the genius. Oh yes.]
[Action]
2012-02-15 01:27 (UTC)Is something the matter~? Can I help~? I just want to help everyone out today~!
