MOVING DAY AND PEARL TOUR!

[VISUAL ON THE PEARL - EARLY SEPTEMBER]

[The pearl is held aloft. Maybe with Psychic power. Maybe with Emporio's hands. However it's being held, it's picking up on things properly enough though, which includes general excitement and cheer.

Those familiar with Emporio and Anasui's house will notice- this does not look like that house. It's a little bigger for one- the windows look quite lovely in fact, and let in plenty of light. There's a roomy living and dining area that shares its space with the kitchen so that the stove can double as a heater, and as it gets carried around, it's eventually revealed that there's a rather nice and Espartha appropriate bed set up in this place.

And of course, a bed meant for a cubone as well.
]

Well...We're all moved in! We didn't exactly have a lot, but it's really nice...We don't share walls with anyone anymore, so we won't keep anyone awake if something happens, and Anasui actually has a bed meant for him now...

[Given the feelings through the pearl, it's likely that Anasui could have had a bed meant for him, if only he hadn't just taken over Emporio's house. Polteageist probably looked around for mid-tier housing of a very particular sort for this exact foreseeable problem.]

A-anyway, this is where we're staying now! ...T-though I feel like that might change later on, because he kept dropping hints about keeping notes on furniture preferences...

[There is...a wave of worry. It's fine. It's probably fine.

....It'll be fine!
]

[ACTION - BEFORE AND AFTER THE ABOVE]

[Being a move, Emporio's friends (or even Anasui's) may have come along to help. Of course, given how little they both had in the way of personal belongings, that would have ended up more like walking together as someone carried the things.

Alternatively, maybe the pearl wasn't enough. Maybe they want to see it in person! Given how busy everything was recently, Emporio is unsurprisingly going to spend at least a little more time at home to settle in, and (more surprisingly perhaps), so is Anasui!

[Flowey can't help a lot with moving, being just a limbless Sunkern and all... but he does owe it to Emporio several times over. So, here he is. Jealousy radiates off of him as he looks at the new residence.

Only once does he 'accidentally' drop something belonging to Anasui, trying to make it land on his foot.
] Whoopsie! Sorry!

[Anasui... doesn't say anything. Even if his eye twitches as Flowey drops one of the drawers of his nice writing desk (taken out so it's easier to carry) onto his foot, Anasui just stares at the Sunkern.

... Ow. That hurt.

Anasui quietly pulls his leg out from underneath the drawer. He shakes it and then looks at Flowey.]


You're Emporio's friend. So I'm giving you ten seconds... Nine... Eight...

Ah, congratulations! Emmet and I have been enjoying our own private quarters a great deal!

[ They've had them for a little while now, though theirs is still sort of....a cave. ]
offtracks: (🚇 junction)

[personal profile] offtracks 2025-09-09 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes, it is just a smaller chamber on a higher level for the two of us! We're still quite close to everyone else - we have gone back for sleepovers once or twice!

[ They're still part of the guild, after all! It's not that different from his separate Warden's home, just much closer. ]

[personal profile] offtracks 2025-09-14 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
We have not had one for quite some time now...but then, there has been a lot of back-and-forth, with all of these expeditions to the new outpost! Perhaps the next time the majority of us are all together.

[ He's never organized one, or even thought of doing so. But...is it unfair to expect A.B.A. to do all the work...? ]
offtracks: (🚇 !)

[personal profile] offtracks 2025-09-15 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! That is a lovely idea! It would be nice for everyone to be included...

[ Hm...where could they do it? Could he do it, or ought he to just try and pass on the idea to the appropriate individuals? ]
offtracks: (🚇 sparkles)

[personal profile] offtracks 2025-09-19 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ death blood murder skull......... ]

That would be nice! I must talk to Emmet about it!

[ literally there's not even a real reason he has to talk to Emmet about it, that just seems like How Things Work to him now? ]

[personal profile] offtracks 2025-09-20 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Very well! I look forward to it!

[ The Ring-Spirit had promised Anasui a while ago that he'd spend more time around Emporio, and now they're moving out of his basement... your apartment is in their old place's attic, their old place isn't in your basement RS The least he can do is help them with the move though! He's too small to carry much, but he does have hands after a fashion (unlike some helpers). He's currently carrying a small... well he's not sure what it is, but it was in their house so presumably one of them can identify the thing for him. ]

Where do you want this?

[ "Kul Elna" isn't with him today, despite the fact that they'd been spending most of their time together since the Spiritomb got out of the clinic.

...The Ring-Spirit just hopes they don't get up to anything while he's occupied today. Or at least not anything he can't damage-control.

Not that we've ever been to Japan. Or seen a real Japanese house...

[Anasui mutters under his breath as he passes them. He was quite happy to leave the two be but stops and does a double-take when he sees the box RS is holding. It's an esky that looks suspiciously like a cold storage box from the clinic. Ah.

Shit, he thought he got rid of that.

As coolly as he can, Anasui walks up to RS, trying not to seem too suspicious to either of the small Pokemon.]


Pass that to me, spirit. It's one of mine.
improvking: (puttering)

[personal profile] improvking 2025-09-12 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh, sure.

[ The Ring-Spirit hands off the strange box without suspicion. After all, Anasui's always short with him, so everything there is just business as usual!

Relieved of his burden, he goes to stand by Emporio and look over the interior.
]

I suppose it does look a bit Japanese inside here, doesn't it... though I'm not all that familiar with modern-day architecture from outside of Japan, so I'm not sure if I'd be the best judge either...
dripdrive: (horror)

[personal profile] dripdrive 2025-09-14 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Anasui picks up the handle of the box in his mouth and walks off. For a second, he well and truly believes he's gotten away with it... And then Emporio opens his mouth. Anasui nearly drops the box but catches it just in time to make sure the contents inside don't fall out.

Damn it. Why does the kid have to be so sharp?

Anasui puts the box down at his feet and tries to calmly turn around.]
Nothing. Nothing that concerns you.

[It's not like he cares what Emporio thinks. Or he's ashamed of what he's doing. He just... thinks it'll be easier they don't find out about the body parts in the cooler.]
improvking: (?)

[personal profile] improvking 2025-09-14 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. That's... interesting. [ He sounds surprised to be thinking such a thing! ] I never put that much thought into architecture styles... and now it's too late to research any of that from home.

I wonder if they've bothered keeping records about that kind of stuff in the Archives. They wouldn't know about Europe or Japan obviously, but finding out something about their native building designs might...

[ And then Anasui starts getting weird about his box. At least, the Ring-Spirit thinks it's weird - he looks between the two, wondering what Emporio thinks about this behavior. Maybe Anasui is just. Like That, Always? ]
dripdrive: (Espathra_Glare)

[personal profile] dripdrive 2025-09-17 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Anasui glares back at Emporio. He's not getting weird about it. You're bringing attention to it as much as he is.

However, he's not blind. He can see that RS is slightly suspicious of him. Instead of trying to justify himself, he just grunts and gets ready to disengage.]


Yes. It's relatively new. I have... things to do to it. It's fine. [He'll pick up the box again in his mouth but instead of putting it where Emporio suggested, he'll walk off to a different room. He will deal with it later and not in front of present company. Surely the other two know better than to go through his stuff.

Nailed it. Social interaction, navigated successfully(?)]
improvking: (?)

[personal profile] improvking 2025-09-17 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. Yep, definitely a weird thing that just happened! After puzzling on it briefly, the Ring-Spirit turns to Emporio. ]

That... have his lunch in it or something...?

[ He's kinda of curious now... something that can apparently go bad, that's fresh, that needs "things" done to it... science project, maybe? Hm! ]
dripdrive: (Espathra_Down)

[personal profile] dripdrive 2025-09-20 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, RS is completely correct. It's absolutely a science project. Anasui is a medical man at heart and is trying to do some study on Pokemon...

Study he's not technically allowed to do, or at least will have Polteageist asking some serious questions about where he sourced the material from. Again, Anasui isn't worried about getting into trouble but he doesn't want people assuming he's a serial murderer again.

Anasui quietly puts the box away in his pile of stuff. He'll move it to his nest later, preferably after RS goes home. For now, he'll just keep his distance and unpack like normal... Hopefully, they'll all forget about this quickly...]
improvking: (puttering)

[personal profile] improvking 2025-09-21 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Well, hope I didn't disrupt anything in there on the way over then.

[ He has no idea if the whatevers-in-there might be fragile or not. With that though, the Ring-Spirit's curiosity does indeed seem satisfied. Whew!

Unaware they've weathered a minor crisis of awkwardness, he looks around their new living quarters again, just sort of taking it all in for a moment, before turning back to Emporio once more.
]

You need help with anything else? If you don't, we can talk more about that building style stuff... Anasui reminded me I've been neglecting you a bit...

[ After all, if there's more work that needs doing, he shouldn't slack! But also he did start helping primarily just to hang out with Emporio more. ]
dripdrive: (Espathra_Neutral)

[personal profile] dripdrive 2025-09-23 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Phew. That's a relief. In retrospect, maybe he should have been worried about RS wanting his own box of body parts instead. However, it seems like everything is going to plan.

The Espathra nods to Emporio to wordlessly answer his question. Let him tidy up here and get everything perfectly into place. Go.

He wasn't lying to RS when he said that he should probably talk to Emporio more.]
