Can you figure out why Ethan's marill has this name
[Ethan is running through Levanta Town with a worried look on his face, looking in trash cans, under stairwells, and into every nook and cranny he can find. While he searches, he's calling as loudly as he can without attracting too many glares from the townsfolk.]
Marbles? Marbles, where are you? I told him to stay put...!
[[ooc: this place is too dead, let's fix that ;_;! Dear mods, how do I tag? This is an AU gameverse-sort-of Ethan ;_; do I use "game: ethan" or something else? Thanks in advance!]]

You can talk?
[Ethan gets to his feet slowly. Too many crazy things are happening at once, and he puts a hand to his head to try and sort things out. He points at Spoink and Red as he talks to them in turn.]
Wait, you can talk, and—hey, R—[WAIT don't call him that] Um, mister, are you sick?
[Meanwhile, Pecha's going to back up a little towards her trainer, the tension bleeding out of her body mostly, but not entirely. She cocks her head at the strange scene in front of her, and gives a bewildered chirrup.]
no subject
[Spoink says this matter of factly, making a mental note to question him later of the norms of this world. He hops off Red, whose face is slumped on the tiles uncomfortably.]
What else does it look like...[inhales sharply]...j-just give it to me already...
[Red motions with his hand to Spoink. The pig reveals a worn out device that looks similar to an inhaler.
Instead of giving it to Red though, he travels over to Ethan.]
I think we should let our new friend decide what you deserve.
He huffs and he puffs?
...Okay? [I mean, really, what else do you say to a talking spoink? Besides, Red looks like he's melting or something.
When the spoink comes over, it takes Ethan another second to realize what he means. Suddenly, Ethan's eyes widen, and he takes the inhaler and runs over to Red—then hesitates. What if Red keeps chasing him after this?
After a moment to consider, he kneels down and presses the inhaler into Red's hand.
Meanwhile, Pecha is going to sniff curiously at the spoink. He doesn't smell any different? She chirps a cautious hello, wondering if he can only speak people-talk.]
Breathing issue, and he can't really blow houses down, but he can Roar
[So hasty; he frowns when Ethan rushes over to Red. With a sigh, he notices Pecha and switches to Pokespeak, apologizing to the Furret.
As for Red, he'll just stare back in surprise the whole time, or as much as his face will allow it. He rolls his eyes before activating the device.]
...That's amazing
Ethan, for his part, doesn't like seeing people asphyxiate if it's all the same to everyone! Even if they are terrifying. Once Red takes the inhaler from him, he starts backing up towards the ladder, though.]
Pecha—
[His furret tries to slink past Red towards him, and Ethan returns his gaze to Red.]
Are you okay?
JOIN ME LOL xD
He hops back to Red, who doesn't look so drained. After a couple softer breaths, he backs away on all fours from the ladder.]
I'll get you for this pig...
[Turning to Pecha and Ethan, not making eye contact.] I won't bite.
OKAY? :D
Meanwhile, Ethan pauses just before the ladder. He's staying still, but he looks doubtful.] ...Are you sure?
[What big teeth you have.]
CRACK FAIRYTALE/FABLE/RHYME AU IS LONELY WITH ONLY ONE PERSON >_>
[As Spoink says this both in humanspeak and pokespeak, he lightly throws his pearl up in the air, he and Red emanating a light blue glow. Red is slides back a couple feet, shuddering from the misplaced tiles.]
You may go through.
[Red, rubbing his hind side] Ow!
You didn't have to do that. I said I wouldn't do anything.
Oh I didn't know what you meant ;; I already have too many muses though
Um, okay? I've still got to find Marbles, so...sorry, mister. [And confusedly, to the Spoink:] Thanks?
[He starts to take a step or two down the ladder, retreating slowly while keeps an eye on you.]
Same here, it was worth a shot lol
Do you need assistance?
[He looks below, the two remaining brothers waiting.]
My brothers might be of some use, maybe I can lend you Red. He shouldn't be trying to eat you now.
[Red's just stuffing his hands into his armpits, watching Ethan climb. ]
You might check out Arcanarum? That's a fairy tale-oriented game.
Um, it's okay. I don't think your trainer likes me, so you don't have to. Thanks for offering, though.
[He looks down, frowning worriedly at at the ground for a second, before he looks up again.]
Though, um...do you have any ideas where a marill might hide? Marbles likes to play and see new things, which...doesn't really help narrow things down. I've looked all over the marketplace, but I don't know where else he might be.
Pkmn?
What about barrels, boxes, of that sort?
[This time it's Swinub speaking.]
I would say I'm the best tracker out of us. Even Red, who's a human now, he still has a pretty good nose.
Panfandom, but it's got a Cress at the very least?
I've looked in all the boxes nearby [including some owned by various shopkeepers. He's gotten screamed at for suspected shoplifting more than once today.]. Oh! Maybe you could sniff him out. I have his poke ball still, if that can help you get a fix on him.
What's character's the Cress? lol
[Tepig] But it's fun to have someone to do your chores and stuff, dontcha think??
[Red groans from above, rubbing his face. How humiliating, argh. Realizing Spoink has removed him from his control, he answers Spoink with a raspberry, sliding down the ladder.
Tepig, Swinub, and Red bump against the Pokeball, taking huge whiffs.]
I got it! [Red and Swinub lead the chase, hitting Ethan in the process.]
Cress -> Poseidon!
My pokemon know some attacks and things. They protect me when I travel from town to town.
[Ethan's really starting to frown at tepig's last comment.] Come on, man, you can't be like that! Marbles and Pecha are my partners, I wouldn't make they do my chores. ...Sometimes they help, though.
But, I mean, how would you like it if someone treated you like a slave?
[—and woah where is Red going? Ethan scrambles to follow him.] Hey, mister, wait up!
WHAT. Btw are there any other people with you in your college AU?
Calm down Tepig. No one does, but what if before he tried to eat us?
[Swinub's tone is slightly annoyed, getting on the defensive.
Spoink follows the group, hopping roof to roof, balcony and so forth.]
Out of my way. [Smashing through a toy stall, Red does not hesitate to rummage roughly through boxes consisting of, but not limited to yo-yo's, tops, paddle balls, and regular balls. The shopkeepers, an old men couple, evacuate immediately.]
Nope. Might have a Bugsy later but the mun's not sure. I don't mind it :)
[But he abruptly shuts up after the "eating us" comment, and somewhat thankfully, Red plows through a market stall and provides a quick distraction. Ethan skids to a halt and ducks around a corner. There is no way he is getting blamed for something that, for once, isn't his fault! ...Directly!
He does try to help, though. He cups his hands to his mouth and shouts.]
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
[—and out pops a marill, excited at being found and oh my god that rummaging human looks crazy run! Marbles tears out of there, busting through the weakened remains of the stall.
Ethan gives a shout and starts to chase after him, but he's slowed by the fleeing shopkeepers.] Marbles!
Do you need anyone especially? :O I don't want to impose but mun's AU sounds terrific fun OTL
Spoink finally makes it to the party, having problems of his own maneuvering. Wind up Spoinks? How nauseating!!
Red picks up the scent again, noticing Marbles escape. He pushes past the keep, making a leap for the Marill.]
I'd have to talk to you more about it!
He squirms a little, and then gives up and starts to bawl, kicking his stubby arms and legs ineffectively.
Ethan takes a while to get through the crowds, shouting Marbles's name as he goes. Finally, he reaches them.]
Marbles, calm down, he's a friend! I'm here! [He reaches out for his marill.]
My AIM is still screwing with me, so we can through the messaging!
[Red presses his face against Marbles, grinning ear to ear as he says this in Pokespeak. He doesn't have the sharp teeth he prized as a Mightyena, but he's maintained four of those fangs, larger than a human's. That and these new babies are cleaner.
Okay, he's done teasing. He lifts himself on all fours, freeing the Marill.]
For a second I thought I had to throw you against a wall. [Spoink wasn't able to leave his earlier tassle unscathed, a smaller Spoink lodged between his spring. Tepig rushes over to assist his brother, carrying some spoils in his mouth. He drops a slinky and marbles, couple of aggies and a cat's eye.
A box slithers over to the group, bumping against Ethan.]
The scent is strong here!
the pigs are so cute ;A;
Ethan kneels down, still holding his arms open, and his marill sprints to him, burying his face into his trainer's shirt. Ethan straightens, holding Marbles close as he gives Red a disbelieving look.]
What are you doing? Marbles is my friend! You didn't have to scare him like that! Why are you so me—woah! [He jumps when the box runs into his ankle.
Still glaring at Red, he kneels down again and quickly flips the box off of Swinub.]
See? I'm not mean to your friends.
Oh good, I thought they were all getting annoying D'8
You should thank me, serves him right for causin' trouble. Making us, YOU, run around to look for him.
[Spoink grunts, on his side trying to look for something to hold onto.] Get these toys out of the way Tepig!
[The little fire pig spits black paint to the side, sticking out a bent tongue.] Uh, chill, they won't bother you. If you keep moving I'll never get it out.
no subject
You're the one who's trouble—he's not the one who just destroyed someone's shop. You made my pokemon cry.
[He stands and turns Marbles away from his shoulder, towards Red.]
Apologize to him!
no subject
If I hadn't done that, he would've never came out.
[Spoink lets out a sigh of relief as he is set down, turning to Ethan.]
Thank you.
[He doesn't even say a word to Red, he simply matches his glare.]
Mmm...You can't be....Fiine!!
[He kneels down to reach Marbles' eye level, glancing back at Ethan. Yikes.]
Sorry you. My bad.
no subject
Tears continue to well up in Marbles's eyes, and when Red kneels down, he tries to hide his face in his paws. When Red apologizes, though, he looks up and gives a little sniff.
Ethan pulls Marbles back towards him and sighs. He gets to his feet and takes a few slow steps back.]
Look...thanks for helping me find Marbles, mister, but I should probably go. I think you've got a mess to clean up, and I still have to buy some things at the Poké Mart.
[Ethan's had enough trouble for one day, and for him, that's saying something.]
