[Open] Petals & Pages - Mingle #1

[pinkmin]

♥ Who: You~ (and Vianca)
♥ Where: Shopping District - a new shop!
♥ When: January/February (Lasra/Nalom)
♥ What: Open Mingle Log
♥ Rating: Probably Pretty G

With the coming of Lasra, there was at least one new shop opening its doors in the quiet bustle of the Shopping District! There had been a distinct lack of places to simply sit in that district, but look no further if you were searching for such a spot. There are warm lights on inside, with the sights of large, comfy chairs and couches beckoning from the welcoming windows.

At times, from the same windows, you can catch sight of a pink little girl sitting near the glass, thumbing through an honest-to-goodness paper book.

Walking through the door would earn you a soft greeting. Welcome to Petals & Pages~


It's an Open Mingle Log!!
+ Shop Info is here, plus book requests.
+ Vianca will have her own top-level, and can reply to yours, but this log isn't just for interacting with her!
+ Feel free to use this post for your own plans how you please! The only House Rule is that you gotta sit with someone and get some sweet Dora, it doesn't have to be Vianca~ This includes multiple top-levels if you desire, since the log is for two months.
+ Have! Fun!!

shhhh it's fine......

[Oh. The squeak does get his attention, and Golisopod backs away instantly, tilting his head to make sure she wasn't too startled. He's a pretty scary-looking bug, but he's actually rather soft in the personality department - very unlike his human trainer. Golisopod has the patience of a saint, and adore children enough to let them climb on and play with him even when he's meditating.

Speaking of which, after he's watered the plants proper, he'll shuffle back toward his trainer and seek a place to sit to do just that - meditate. Somewhere off in a corner, perhaps, where he won't take up much space, or be in anyone's way. Guzma, meanwhile, can't help but chuckle at the spectacle. It's really, really not hard to win his partner over. Treats, a gentle pat, playing with him...he's pretty easy to make friends with, again...very unlike his trainer. Vianca does indeed remind him of Lillie, and maybe even Guzma too...a little, but they're certainly not the same.

Vianca is her own person, after all. Same with Lillie. There are similarities, sure, but each one are special in their own right. Special enough to win even Guzma over pretty quickly, in fact.]

Well, don't look at me. [He holds up his hands, shaking his head.] Ain't got no green nothing on me, despite, uh...stuff. [He clears his throat, loudly, changing the subject quickly. No need to travel down that road, thank you sir.]

I usually, uh...break things, not make 'em grow.

[pinkmin]

[No worries, bug-friendo-- she was just a little surprised!]

Stuff. [It wasn't a question, just a quiet acknowledgement that there was... Stuff. Lots of people had Stuff. Stuff was fine.]

You do seem like you can be rowdy when you want to be.

[Were you a rowdy guy, Guzma.]

[yallstupid]

[He has a whole heaping helping of Stuff, most of which is bottled away in the deepest, darkest pit of his mind and soul, locked up tight behind so many walls that the gates of heaven itself would itch with jealousy. Only the privileged few have been let in past all the barriers and walls, to even catch a glimpse of those dark pages in Guzma's book of life.]

Heh. [The smile that spreads on his face when he's called out is telling. Guzma doesn't even make the attempt to deny it, and he shrugs his shoulders with the lazy air of a man who has fully embraced his gremlin tendencies.]

Mmmmaybe...sometimes. What sort'a life's worth living without some controlled chaos, am I right?

[pinkmin]

Hmm.

[It wasn't quite agreement, because this was Vianca after all. She very much appreciated her calm and quiet. She did, however, attend an establishment that could have very much been labelled controlled chaos. She was perhaps a bit more used to such a concept than she would normally concede to.

...It was also a fact that a majority of the friends she was making in the sleepy city of Havenwell were all rowdy boys, and maybe they were very slightly rubbing off on her sensibilities.]

I suppose that does lead to more interesting stories.

[yallstupid]

[As Guzma watches his Pokémon for a moment, just to make sure it’s behaving and not in anyone’s way, he clicks his tongue and chuckles again, bowing his head with a slow shake. Ahaha...yeah, he sure had a lot of stories from way back then, when he was the leader of Team Skull and the so-called "hardest guy around". He’s still tough as nails, and doesn’t take anyone’s nonsense lying down, but at least he’s less likely to, uh...make it really nasty. Needless to say, most of those stories of his past as fairly grizzly, and nothing a poor kid like Vianca would be interested in hearing, probably.

He rubs his neck, looking almost sheepish…maybe even a bit proud, too. I mean, he did come out the victor in a lot of fistfights, after all. That’s something to be proud of.]

Yeah, maybe if you like horror stories...

[pinkmin]

[That got a considering look, but she nodded her head.]

Horror is an important literary genre.
