The Grand Opening

[driftingmods]

[A large WELCOME sign is hanging from the buildings when you walk into Levanta Town, but that seems to be the only sign that today is any different than any other day. The villagers are simply going about their daily business. However, if they are approached they are more than happy to explain the region as well as they can to any new arrivals.

Welcome to Levanta Town in The Drifting Land!]

Not unless you take care of yourself.

[Paul opens his mouth to talk back again, but he pauses and turns around, having a brilliant new idea!

... Walking away from the source of his irritation.]

[notinmtsilver]

[Cause that works real well with Ash's.

He'll walk a few steps behind you.]

[battlestandby]

[He'll... just have to walk more briskly!]

[notinmtsilver]

[You are not the only stubborn idiot here, Paul.

He can walk just as quick-- plus his legs are longer.]

[battlestandby]

[Well, now that's gonna make Paul start to sprint!]

[notinmtsilver]

[His legs are a lot longer than yours.

All he has to do is walk a bit faster.]

[battlestandby]

[Well, now you're really pissing him off!]

Ash... stop following me.

[notinmtsilver]

I'll stop as soon as you promise you'll see a nurse. [That fussy nature of his? Never went away.]

[battlestandby]

Fine, whatever. I promise. Now leave.

[He doesn't really mean it, of course.]

[notinmtsilver]

Really? [You better mean it.

That sounded like an absolutely awful cough.]

[battlestandby]

Yes, really.

[No, really.]

[notinmtsilver]

Then let's go to the Pokecenter.

[battlestandby]

[!! oh you tricky bastard]

No. I'll go by myself.

[notinmtsilver]

[This is the face of somebody who doesn't believe you.]

[battlestandby]

... I'm not going with you. Forget it.

[notinmtsilver]

You don't have to go with me, but you really should go.

[battlestandby]

Then get out of here.

[notinmtsilver]

Fine.

[He'll walk far enough away to release Noctowl.]

Hey, buddy. Could you do me a favor and keep track of Paul? [Said bird trills and goes off to... well, spy on Paul.

Hope you're planning on going.]

[battlestandby]

[He sure isn't!]

[notinmtsilver]

[The bird will follow you around for a bit longer. Benefit of the doubt! You must care about yourself, right?]

[battlestandby]

[Oh, if only you knew the truth! Then you'd be much more worried!]

[notinmtsilver]

[Oh, if only.

Noctowl watches for a few minutes before going back to get Ash.

Who runs over. Wow, he's terrible at not being involved.]

Paul. [Where did that fussy mother voice come from?]

[battlestandby]

[And holy crap you surprised Paul, he was looking forward to his alone time and now you're back already!]

What th-- were you following me?!

[notinmtsilver]

No. [He made his bird follow you.

There's totally a difference.]
