Starting Line (Open)

First topic message reminder :

Lumina was stationed in front of a forest, her same old perpetual frown on her face. This Mystery Dungeon seemed nice enough; it was bright and sunny, with green leaves and seemingly weak Pokemon inside. But the Vulpix knew better than to let down her guard, lest she end up fainting and making herself look like a fool.

The reason she came here, to Pecha Forest, was twofold. On one hand, she had always been interested in Mystery Dungeons. This seemed like as good a time as ever to get a chance to explore one. If there was one positive to her new home in Grassveil, it was that there was a pair of Mystery Dungeons right at her doorstep.

On the other hand, she just needed a break from the hustle and bustle of the town. She was already in a better mood, now that she had some room to breathe.

Lumina had decided to tackle the easier of the two Mystery Dungeons first; it just seemed logical to her. And so here she was, ready as ever to get the job done. The Fox Pokemon padded into the forest, her eyes narrowed as she silently scanned for any sign of trouble.

Varda didn't seem to be awfully sad that the two Pokémon were going to part now. He was a bit worried when Lumina was going to go back in the forest without resting, but he was sure that she knew what she was doing! He shouldn't be doubting her like that. But the main point was that they would see each other very soon!
"Yes, we will! Very soon," the bird chirped happily as he flapped his wings, enough to even take off the ground and fly in place as he tucked his feet closer to his body, getting ready to fly.

"Goodbye! I'll be waiting," the Swablu continued as he flapped harder, rising higher up into the air with his bag – and Lumina's orb inside it – safely staying in one place as the strap was snug enough to prevent needless movement,
"Oh, and good luck!"



((Well you can already write that you have the item in your inventory out of character and such, you would obviously have it tomorrow in game time even if we haven't played the scene yet as we have agreed to it out of character! But in character, I guess I should probably give the orb to you either after your meeting with the Guildmaster or you could just hop into the team room yeah and let's say that Varda is there.

Anyways, this thread looks like it's over now, Varda will fly to town so if you want to write an ending post, you can put that in if you want. I'll request this thread to be locked after your response unless you choose to end it here. It was a nice game, hope we play again one day.))

The Vulpix nodded, smiling to herself wryly. "I'll see you then. Good luck to you, too." She called back into the air, raising her voice a tad so it would reach the Swablu, who was gradually rising into the sky. She briefly wondered what it was like to fly, before banishing such a childish thought from her mind. She wasn't a child, after all. She had moved on from things like toys and simple dreams that she had superpowers or could fly.

She stuck to the edge of the forest, deciding to follow it until she reached Shadowhue. It had to turn into the darker forest eventually... and, to be honest, she didn't completely know the way. But she wouldn't have minded if she got a bit lost, truthfully. As long as she didn't have to go back to that noisy little town for another few hours, she was content.

Then her thoughts wandered towards Varda. Would she see the Swablu again? Well, of course she would see him at the guild tomorrow, but would they go exploring again sometime? ... it wasn't very likely, but who knew? It was definitely possible, especially with him being part of an Exploration Team. They went exploring a lot. They could run into each other again.

Finally came thoughts of her next destination, Shadowhue. Was she equipped to deal with it? Especially lacking her only item? Guess I'll find out. She decided. She had only heard rumours about how dangerous it could be, she had never experienced the dark forest herself. Even if she ended up fainted... that wouldn't be a big problem in the long run. She would be better equipped and know more about Shadowhue for her next run. Some things, you could only learn through experience.

Still... she might just have needed that good luck Varda wished her. With a small yawn, the Vulpix sat down in the shade of a Pecha tree, resting her tired legs. She watched the town from her spot, and eyed a now-small black dot in the sky that may or may not have been Varda.

(Yup, let's end it here. It was fun. ^^)
