Sooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
*Imogen is all ready to leave, she swapped out her previous traveling outfit for a new outfit from her computer. Her pack is on and her Pokeballs are in the pocket on her jacket. Her outfit is a bit warmer but still just as odd as usual, and her hat has holes in it for her two tails of hair. She's holding Zorua in her arms.*
Look look! I dunno what to name him yet, but he hatched!
And just in time to head out! Such a great bit of luck!
Isn't he cute!?

It's definitely easier when they hatch before you travel, especially if you have more than one egg on you. [Which he tended to, when he went through Egg Phases...] That's a Zorua, right?
no subject
Yup, that's what it is. But I haven't picked a name for him yet. Well, come up with a list for him to pick from. His coloring is all dark, but he doesn't seem the type to want a dark name. You know?
no subject
[Hmmn... Hiccup wasn't the best at names, and he spent a lot of time with two people who were frequently criticized for the names they'd given their pokemon. Not the greatest guy if you wanted suggestions, really.]
Uh, sure, I guess. From what I've seen, a lot of Zorua like to play jokes on people by using their illusions, and they're pretty smart. My friend Carmen named hers Sly. I don't know if that helps you any, though...
no subject
Well, that takes Sly off the list. So they like trouble huh... well, I can work with that.
no subject
Who knows? You might get the odd well-behaved Zorua. All pokemon are different.
no subject
...and I don't really know how to ride a horse, fire or otherwise. I told my dad it'd be a good life skill but he never took me, and-
*And Fiona said she'd teach her when there was a good chance.*
Well, I'll think of a good set of names for it to pick from. That'll work.
no subject
[Not like Albert's, which was only a foot tall.]
But I'm sure you won't have too many problems. People learn how to ride giant birds and dragons all the time, here.
Letting it choose for itself might end up being for the best. One of my pokemon didn't like the name I picked out for her, so she named herself instead.
no subject
I let them all pick from options, seems only fair since they can answer. In their own ways, anyway.
Imogen Moreno.
no subject
[He's not...following, if that blank look is anything to go by.]
No, she picked Eve. You must have her confused with some other pokemon.
no subject
*Sigh, eyeroll, so exaggerated and dramatic.*
Silly, my name is Imogen Moreno. I'm trying to introduce myself!
no subject
no subject
*She's strange and uses full names until told not to.*
I wish Ponytas evolved a bit faster. LV40 seems forever away given I got her at One... Then again I'm also still badgeless, so it's all forever away isn't it?
no subject
no subject
Cool!
*Oh, right, point of what he said. Focus.*
I'm trying to do all this right but... not all of my Pokemon seem quite as keen on scrapping in fights. I do plan to do the whole badge thing though!
Are you one of the ones doing the Breeder thing instead of the Trainer thing?
no subject
[Dragons were all him, though.]
Some of my pokemon are like that, too--but since I'm not much of a fighter myself, I get it. You learn to work with what you've got, for battles.
[And usually, then ended up being more than enough.]
No, I was assigned to be a trainer. Didn't stop my pokemon from trying to say otherwise, though...
no subject
I'm not really big on fighting either, but... it's how it works here right? So long as my Pokemon are okay with it then why shouldn't we try to be the best?
Whiskey doesn't seem very... intent on fighting though. I just don't like the PC idea very much.
no subject
[Even Hiccup, with all his innovations, could only come up with the name 'Toothless' when faced with a dragon seemingly without teeth.]
I guess, but that doesn't mean you have to. You could focus on travel, or working. A lot of people settle down and get houses. [Shrug.] I'm staying at one of my friend's houses right now.
[...Man, calling Albert a friend was weird.]
no subject
*Imogen kinda exudes an air of free spirited creativity. The crazy outfits help this.*
I can't stay put, I need to keep doing stuff. I might not stick to the Battling thing if I'm not good at it, but I definitely can't just settle in with a friend.
no subject
I'm usually traveling around, too--we came here for Thanksgiving and it looks like we'll spend Christmas here, too. We'll probably get back to flying around, then, unless Albert needs me to make more things for him.
[He's helping with science. c=]
no subject
Unless it gets too cold to travel, I don't really think I'll sit still till New Years. I'm not really in a Christmas Spirit since it was March when I left home. We kinda just did Christmas.
*Clever clever lies hidden in truth.*
no subject
For me, there's building things. But I'm generally dealing with the dragons anyway.
[The kept busy, even if a lot of it was for survival or just showing off brute strength. Life as a noodleviking was hard.]
It...gets pretty cold, here. Astrid and I are used to it, but that's because the weather on Berk is miserable 97% of the time. It's easier with fire pokemon around, though, so Wildfyre will come in handy.
And hey, maybe you can consider this your Christmas in July.
no subject
*Obvious statement is obvious.*
But that's better, being what everyone expects is boring.
Home isn't exactly a warm place, but it isn't too bad. Here isn't any worse, at least not yet. And if I'm traveling Wildfyre will definitely come in handy, but...
I don't really want to think about Christmas. It's weird, and not in a good way because... it'll be my first Christmas without my dad. And my friends, and... *does not want to explain girlfriend to viking* other people.
no subject
[Oh, he can understand that sentiment.]
Last year here was my first Snoggletog without my dad or the other members of the tribe--that's our winter holiday, back home. Even though Toothless was here back then, it wasn't the same. He'd never celebrated Snoggletog, and other than massive amounts of snow, there wasn't really anything here to make it seem like how it was back home.
It wasn't the worst Snoggletog ever, but...it was pretty close.
no subject
That's the only thing about being here that really sucks. If I was doing a magical Pokemon Adventure, I'd want Eli and Fiona to be here. At least Fiona, even if all the camping and outdoors isn't her thing...
no subject
no subject
And they couldn't spend Christmas with me. It would be super great if they could appear before then, and I could ride out and meet them for the day.
But if I think about it too much and hope... *She doesn't need to finish that line of thought.*

[Squint. HE KNOWS OF ZORUAS.]
[video]
[video]
[video]
*This girl, does not look amused. And is nearly acting sane which is a terrible state for her.*
[video]
[Excuse him, he's from 1519.]
[video]
Or looking at someone with a little bit of cool facial hair and thinking he's probably some sorta smooth talking ladies man.
[video]
Aha. Buuut if you're right about that, then...?
[video]
*Logic. In some form.*
[video]
If it's still right, then who cares how you know?
[video]
Because one of these it's a lot easier to be wrong, and rude.
It's nice to get to know people before you go calling them one thing or another.
What if I had assumed from looking at you you were mean and had no sense of humor?
[video]
Then if you're wrong that's your loss, isn't it, missy?
Look. All I'm saying is that it's better to have an idea of what's going on before you do anything.
[video]
Unless you plan to hit on me. Don't do that.
I'll figure out what my Zorua's like as I raise him. If he's trouble I'll pick up on that.
[video]
Just don't say nobody warned you if he disappoints you.
[video]
I am, but it's also I don't really do well. With that sorta. Thing. So it'd be much nicer if you didn't.
*Let's move onto other less awkward topics.*
And he can't disappoint me if I don't go into this thinking he's something. If I think he's a trickster and he's perfectly boring then I'd be disappointed.
[video]
Didn't you just assume I was mean?
[trollface?? Also, hands in the air in the classic "hey, whatever" gesture.]
Alright, whatever you say. Let me know how that goes.
