ACTION; OTA (after exiting restaurant)
It's time to say goodbye to the one she loved. She's been sulking about this for at least a month now, and she.. needed to let go. Of the idea that she'd wake up and he'd be back or she'd find out it was some nightmare like the ones she'd had before. It'd hurt for a while and now..

Now it was their anniversary. Or it would have been, if Zuko were still in this world. Which was why she was at that little restaurant in Attleton that he brought her to for their first date. She was alone this time, and while she certainly felt melancholy, lonely, she didn't feel like crying like she had when she'd first found out that he was gone. This was the last time she would allow herself to get hung up over him. It was time to let go, to move on, and to give herself some closure.

Weiss quietly enjoyed her lunch, responding to the shop owner in the small amounts of Chinese she knew from spending time with Zuko and trying so hard to learn about his culture, language.. everything. She was far from fluent, but she knew enough to order a meal just like he had the first time they'd been in here and he was trying to show off to her. When she let the spicy food touch her tongue, it didn't make her entire face light up in red from the heat like the first time she had.

She had grown a lot as a person since then and a lot of it had to do with Zuko. He'd taught her to consider a lot of things that she hadn't before, to try new things that she wouldn't have otherwise, and that not everyone who was a criminal was always a bad person. He'd done a lot of bad things, both as the Blue Spirit and has the prince of the Fire Nation, but he'd become a better person because he wanted to be a good person. And he always kept trying, even when he made mistakes.

While she finished eating, Weiss considered what she could do to remember him without.. obsessing. Without letting herself fall into a pattern of never letting him go, but still being able to make sure that she never forgot. That was one of the things she feared most here- so many people left and came back without memories, she didn't ever want to do that.

Weiss allowed a little smile to pull to her lips once she was full, staring at the empty seat across from her.

"Happy anniversary, Zuko," she whispered, quietly enough that no one else in the restaurant could hear her, "Goodbye."

With that, she stood up to pay and headed out of the building, letting Charizard out once she was on the street.

"Char, stay out of your ball today. We're going to go train the others and see if we can't figure out how to find a way for more people to stay."

With that, Weiss went to go see just what information she could get from other trainers and the Pokemon Center.







VIDEO; OTA
[ The video starts with Weiss sitting at her desk at Schnee Co.'s Genessia branch, with Charizard in the background standing by like a very well disciplined guard. The reality is he's camera shy, so he's mostly just frozen where he is, but he's keeping Weiss company outside of his ball today, so he's determinedly seeing it through. Weiss doesn't seem bothered by it and very professionally addresses the feed. ]

It's come to my attention that there are a lot of items that some of us are finding that aren't what we need. It's my pleasure to announce that Schnee Company branches will be hosting a Pokemon and Item Trading System while these creatures are here. Having been here the last time we had Pokemon, I'm well aware of proper care methods and I have plenty of experience with business. Which is why from now on, you can report what items you would like to trade and what items you need to Schnee Company.

As soon as the item comes available, we'll arrange a trade for a very small fee that you only pay if you get what you need. Considering what I heard around the Pokemon Center that there's a legend certain items can allow Pokemon to remain in any universe they choose when combined, I think 5 red bills more than reasonable for the arrangement service.

[ That's like one item at the grocery store, so she's really certain it's more than fine. Once the video recording is finished, the screen pops up with a list of current trade requests. ( OOC: I will update this list as people contact Weiss with trade items. Weiss will research items being offered before posting them so they've got some info. Just comment to offer/request items and Weiss will set the trade up! ) ]

Who knew these things would come with so many...instructions or opportunities. [She's still unsure about her...thing.]

Some of these stones remind me of Dust from our world.

Natural rules aside, I've never seen one so strict on the forces of Evolution and growth. It's almost like one of those games Ruby and Yang play.

[Quirks a brow] And just how many of these things are you hoping to collect? [Please don't catchem all Weiss.]

Uh, we both consume a fair number of fish so, there's that.

Even the the rules seem to change or make exceptions now and then. Not always but, enough to throw you off your footing sometimes.

Trust me, I can't even keep names straight with these things. It helps that it seems to be their only way of communicating vocally but doesn't make it any easier.

So you're going to specialize in Fire and Ice types or just be queen of them all?

I'm offering a Pokeflute up, although I don't know what I would want to trade for it yet. I'm open to offers, mostly.

Armin's been busier at work than ever, these past few weeks - partially still because of the setup of the Nova City branch, and the cleanup from the Genessia evacuation, but also because he's taken on more work since Zuko left, to lighten the burden on Weiss while she works through things. As such, he hasn't been sleeping as much as he should. Maybe that's the reason he doesn't think to put his notebook away before heading downstairs to grab whatever Sansa made him from the fridge, and bring it back up for a belated lunch. It doesn't even occur to him that Weiss might come in during the five minutes he's gone - usually he visits her office, not the other way around.

Any other page or any other notebook, and it would have been fine - but he left it open to the one page he doesn't want Weiss to know about. Because there's another thing he's been doing ever since Zuko left. Understanding that Weiss doesn't want to talk about it directly, and also understanding how hard this is for her, he's been subtly feeding people ideas with things to distract Weiss, or cheer her up - people close to Weiss, but who don't know her as well as Armin does, or who aren't as good at understanding how to deal with loss. And, with the habits he's picked up as Weiss' meticulous assistant, his ideas are all neatly listed in the notebook, with asterisks and names next to the ones he's gotten people to follow through with.

Perhaps unfortunately for him, it's a long and detailed list.

Armin is already on his way back, lunch in hand, when he hears Weiss shout his name. That tone and volume is unusual, even for her, so it is with perceived urgency that he breaks into a run - skidding to a halt in front of her just outside his door, eyes wide.

"What is it, Ms. Schnee - what's the matter?"

[Luke isn't particularly keen on fighting with his Mudkip. Mostly they've just been spending time together and chatting.

But things he would be okay with doing? Raising little baby pokemon! So he's borrowed a book from the library and settled outside Schnee Headquarters to read--mostly because it seems to be an area mostly free of the wild pokemon that seem to be crawling everywhere.

So here he is with his book, reading quietly. Most of it is new to him, and he finds the knowledge of growth of the little creatures fascinating. Until....]


Augh!

[My, my. That is a very bright shade of red the young apprentice is. He slammed the book shut so quickly it's a wonder he didn't damage it, eyes wide.]

[He feels like Schnees are born with that ingrained in them.]

So what's the friends and family discount on the service like?
beauty_burns_gold: (I've got the winning cards)

[personal profile] beauty_burns_gold 2015-08-17 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, this is a pretty cool thing you've got set up, Weiss. Any discounts for fellow teammates?

Or just instructions really. I've found this weird thing called Houndoominite? Or something? And I have no idea what it's suppose to do. So...hey. Put it up for trade is what I figured. Maybe someone could use it.

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2015-08-18 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Armin's expression flits through confusion, understanding, and then chagrin, as he realizes what's going on - although he doesn't quite understand the severity of what she suspects.

"Oh. I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to see this." He bites his lip, hesitating for a moment - not quite sure how best to put this. "After Zuko left, you were having such a hard time, but you were always hiding it, unwilling to talk with anyone about it. I just... I wanted to make sure you were doing all right, that you had people there for you, without pressing anything or making you uncomfortable."

Can't blame a girl for trying, can you?

[You probably could, but Yang wouldn't care.]

Well it'd be neat to know if it actually did something useful. But I don't have a Houndoom so I have no use for it. I'd be willing to trade it for something like a Cyndaquilinite if there is such a thing. Or one of those everstones I heard about that you need to keep a pokemon.
