Can you figure out why Ethan's marill has this name

[ducttaped]

[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!]]

[Gold purses his lips, rolling his eyes. Icarus and Judas do not need to be told, then again they are the trained ones. He has to yell at them, but he manages to get the Miltank "brothers" over to join Ethan without conflict. He decides against kneeling when some unusual green and black clumps catch his eye.]

Well that's why they're called Legendary. They know how not to get caught.

2/2

[backtonature]

[For the first time, he listens intently to Ethan. He scratches his arm at 'best friend' and 'really little' and 'fun.']

College still? Huh.

..I used to think she had the potential. [He mumbles this out loud.]

[OOC: Sorry about the over editing.]

[ducttaped]

[Ethan thinks about Gold's "legendary" comment, and then starts to chuckle at the pun, covering his mouth with the back of his free (non-string-holding) hand.] Point taken. Why would Celebi be around here, though?

[He cocks his head as Gold grows quiet. His voice is soft, too, when he answers, his expression dropping to one of concern.] ....Did...is your Lyra in trouble?

[What unusual clumps? Ethan kneels right on top of them.]


[[ooc: no problem. :) I just "preview" my comments ten million times, myself.]]

[backtonature]

The only time she makes an appearance is if she wants something or she's messing with me.

Are you sure you're not in high school?

[He's super tempted to punch Ethan in the shoulder for that laugh, but he refrains himself, in case hurting him means he would also be hurting himself.]

No. She's been trouble lately. Her and...[A shot in the dark, he's curious if the name means anything.]....her and Kris.

[OOC: :D ]

[ducttaped]

So you're Celebi's chosen? [Ethan sits back on his heels, staring at you.] That's...wow, dude, that's amazing.

What? No, man, I graduated high school last fall!

[Ethan turns away, relaxing slightly when Gold says "No," and peeks around the corner to check for his pokemon.]

Kris too? That's weird, Kris usually keeps Lyra out of trouble. I like them.

What kind of trouble? [This other-him seems more straight-laced than he is. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, he thinks?]

[backtonature]

Chosen? Well if you mean she's special, yeah.

She's the village's Goddess.

[He's sure that should be enough pandering to Celebi. She usually shows up when he reiterates her title.]

Oh, that makes sense. [He turns around, concealing a giant smirk.]

Kris keeping Lyra out of trouble? That's rich.

Since when is Kris the responsible one now? [He disregards the last question completely.]

Ethan used Traumatize

[ducttaped]

[Ethan tilts his head. Don't you know this already?] Sometimes legendary pokemon pick someone out as their special person. Someone they pay a lot of attention to? I mean, that's what my grandparents used to say, anyway. I've never met a real chosen before.


...Kris is always the responsible one! She's super smart and she's probably going to be a pokemon professor one day. She doesn't come around much because she's so busy studying, but she really likes Lyra. They're girlfriends, I think. [Ethan scratches his head.] I don't know, I've walked in on them a few times, but they're not really lovey-dovey, or anything.

Is it different, where you're from?

Red is Confused Part 1

[backtonature]

W-What?!??

[Excuse Gold while his back and all reason collapse against the wall. His expression rapidly changes back and forth between laughter and disgust.]

YES. It is SUPER different.

[He now concocts the image in his head.]

N-N-N-NO! Nooo waaaaaaaay!!

Red is Confused Part 2

[backtonature]

That's hilarious!

Kris isn't the smartest tool in the shed! She's clumsy, she forgets easily, she's super unorganized, has a hard time getting ready..

[He looks like he can keep going on and on..]

Red is Confused Part 3

[backtonature]

..it's impossible though.

In more than one way. That and--

she hates Lyra.

[His eyes dart around.]

[ducttaped]

[Ethan laughs, half at what Gold is saying, and half at the other boy's expression.]

That sounds more like...no, not even Lyra's that bad! [If anything, that describes Ethan himself. orz.]

Well, they weren't super close at first or anything, but Kris and Lyra definitely like each other where I'm from. [Muttering to himself.] Unless it's hatesex? ...Nah.

[Ethan perks up.]

Tell me about your Silver, though! What's he like?

[Ethan is too busy chatting to notice a round blue pokemon peering out from behind a large stack of boxes on the other side of the street, staring intently at the makeshift trap.]

[backtonature]

It's just complicated to explain those two. They are not sleeping with each other for sure, it's physically and mentally impossible.

[This topic is making his head hurt. Silver, Silver...]

Silver's always busy. That's what he tells me and Lyra. He works out and reads plenty. He's loud and sassy when he's drunk though. He tried to kiss--[Notices the Marill, he turns down his voice.]

--me.
