You resist the urge to sigh as you look through the costumes on sale. You just can't be allowed to let this day pass. Of course.
You pick out a costume of the children's book hero from whom you sourced Mister's name - a powerful boy with odd powers who is constantly getting into strange, sometimes silly misadventures, accidentally saving countless lives and having legends spring up about him wherever he goes, all while he tries to learn how his powers work and why he has them. You read it a lot, hoping to maybe glean a trick or two to get your
own magic under control... but to no avail. Still, it's not a half-bad read. You try on his trademark colorful coat for size. It's... a bit big for you, trailing along the ground, slightly.
Perfect.
Mom buys you the outfit, and you use the changing room to switch out, donning the oversized coat, the plain shirt and pants, the boots, the cowboy hat, and his trademark glasses.
... You don't look half bad in glasses. Huh. Well, that's good to know, in case your eyesight ever gets bad.
That done, you join your mom (who has deigned to wear a giant Tangrowth costume) and head for the town square-
"Harry? Harry Conifer? Is that
you?"
You raise an eyebrow, and lock eyes with a Pokemon Ranger in full uniform, a few years older than you. You think... who... Ooooh. That guy from Trainer Permit School...
(Pick one main reaction. Select 3 sub-reactions, if applicable. Depending on the main reaction, the top 1-3 non-mutually-exclusive subreactions will be used.)
[] Greet him kindly. Logan was a great pal, and really helped you out. You haven't seen him since he joined the Ranger Corps. Dang, he's filled
out!
-[] Dude looks outright
feral, now. Probably hasn't had a proper shower in... who knows how long? Where the heck has he been?
-[] His Exeggcute certainly looks chipper. Wonder how he's grown... Rangers can do battles, too, so maybe he's up for a match?
-[] Wonder how things went down with that Lass he liked back in school... did he ever get the guts to ask her out?
-[] What has he been
eating? He looks like a Machoke, now! What happened to the chubby guy who couldn't run a mile?
[] Just acknowledge him and move on. You were in a few classes with him, but you never were sure what to make of this guy... What
was his name, anyway? La... Lo... Loc... no... that wasn't it...
[] Uh oh... Isn't that the guy who shoved you into the toilet? ... Aw nuts. It is. Of course
he's here. It's October 31st. Why wouldn't he be here? You still don't know how the heck he ended up getting into the Rangers.
-[] SCREAM INTERNALLY
-[] SCREAM
EXTERNALLY
-[] Ignore him. Maybe he'll go away.
-[] Confront him. It's time you showed him how you've grown!
-[] ... Maybe he's friendly now? Let's see what he's been up to...
(Compatible with subreactions to "Greet him kindly")
-[] RUN! OH GODS RUN!
