Soft lullabies (Open-Mod)

[Snow Soul]

Mekura felt the odd air about him as he stated his thoughts. Blinking she wondered what that was all about. "I'd rather just stay out of it." Though he was right. People did end up dead either way. Shaking her head she felt the oldness of the clock tower. "Until one day they decide to return to dust." Togepi wondered about the odd air and looked between the two people. Then burst into tears cause she didn't like it. Mekura took the crying baby from Alvaro and tickled her a bit till she was squealing in delight. "Its weird but baby pokemon seem to be pretty sensitive." It was clear she was switching the topic.

Risa followed after him and stopped a few feet before he did. She watched as he crashed right into a wall. She felt the pain from him. Walking over close to him she used healing beam to hopefully take the pain away. ("Better?")

Upon seeing the change in conversation, Alvaro allowed for it to move away rather fluidly. "Indeed, they seem such like children," he answered back with a half smile. His own childhood wasn't something he liked very much, yet he wasn't in turn to speak on it so to speak. After a moment, more, he found himself bending backwards again stretching as he did so. "I know they tend to imprint don't they?" he asked after a moment even as he stretched. "The first thing they see is what they assume to be their mother from the day they are born."

Ring seemed to blink a few moments surprised by the healing move, yet after a moment, he seemed to grin a bit and nodded. <Thanks!> he said aloud suddenly remembering that it was a tagging game and suddenly laughing. <I guess ya got me for now> he smirked a bit.

[Snow Soul]

Mekura smiled down at her little togepi. "I know. She's the absolute best to be around." Cuddling her baby pokemon she slowly rocked her. Kaiyou yawned again and tried to keep her eyes from closing. In an attempt to stay awake she launched in to her baby babble. "Hana seems to think I need to have babies around more often cause they keep me on my feet." Though there was the one time she had gone through the ice trying to escape hurting her togepi. Forcing away the shudder she listened for Risa who was apparently now on the second floor.

Risa smiled and nodded her head. At his smirk she giggled. ("Yup.") Tagging him she took off toward the stairs once she reached them she went as fast as she could manage up them.

[Jay]

Alvaro seemed to half smile a bit at this as his purple eyes moved over the girl and the baby pokemon. He yawned a moment wondering why he was tired and shook his head all but forcing this sleep away. After a few seconds, he started to stretch again and then looked out the window area. He could see for a good long distance, and after a moment, he was all but leaning on the actual stone. "Does she let you see the future?" he asked after a moment meaning the psychic type pokemon. Again,l it came as a spontaneous thought overall.

Ring smirked a bit and then got up before chasing after the Ralts as fast as he could without actually using a teleport. He wanted to prove he could catch her with ease without resorting to psychic energy that they both hand. After a moment, he found himself starting to catch up, reaching out, he amde to try and grab her arm but inevitably failed.

[Snow Soul]

Mekura felt his eyes move over her and wished she could see for the millionth time. If she could see she could be normal. Pushing the thought to the back of her head she decided she could see. Just it was different then normal people. Hearing his yawn she blinked then smiled. "Yawns are contagious. One starts em then they never end." She thought over his question then looked down toward the baby pokemon that she knew was in her arms. "Hm. Not that I know of. Who wants to know the future anyways? It always changes because of a small choice."

Risa laughed as he tried to keep up with her. Of course she did have the advantage of slightly longer legs. Reaching the landing she ran behind Mekura's legs and hid there ready to run again all the while catching her breath. She was pretty sure she was gonna end up falling asleep when they decided to head out.

[Jay]

The green haired man brought a finger to his chin in thought at this and finally laughed lightly. "This is true," he answered back with a grin. "The future is unpredictable and rather obscure.... though I think it'd be kind of nice to see what could be, you know?" he asked with a rather half laugh before finally noticing that the two psychics were running back. Ring seemed to come to a halt when he noticed that the Ralts was now hiding behind the girl. Sighing for a moment, he suddenly smirked and teleported right behind her. <GOT YA!> he shouted making to snag her around the waist.

[Snow Soul]

"Maybe but not if something sad was gonna happen then didn't." She felt the soft sigh escape from her togepi as she finally went back to sleep. Her breathing deepened and didn't even waken when Risa squealed. Laughing the female pokemon quickly turned while he still had a hold of her and tagged him back. Teleporting away from him she made a mad dash up a flight of stairs tucked away in the corner.

[Jay]

Alvaro blinked slowly at this before nodding a bit in understanding. "True," he answered back finally before starting to mess with his clip again rather absent minded. "I doubt Ring'd ever let me see the future," he half laughed shaking his head a bit as he thought about it. Said psychic was an odd one to say the least of it all. Ring, who had heard his name, had stopped for a good second before realizing that he had been tagged and suddenly seemed to puff up before starting after the Ralts again. Alvaro watched for a good few seconds before chucking to himself. "Oh... do you dream in images?" Alvaro asked suddenly as the thought came to mind. Ah... curiosity did kill the Glameow... well... Thankfully he wasn't a Galameow right? Heh......

[Snow Soul]

Mekura listened to the pokemon race away before she pulled her scarf out of her coat pocket. Wrapping Kaiyou up quickly she was determined to keep the baby warm while she slept. Putting her in the poke-ball was not an option. She would just wake up again. Hearing his question she thought about it. She had never been asked that one before. "Hm. I guess you could say that. Except its more like outlines. Their there but not. And the colors are all wrong." Blinking she looked up automatically as she felt the fright from Risa. Handing Kaiyou over to Alvaro she quickly walked over to the stares and headed up wondering what the matter was.

Arriving at the top of the stares Risa looked around and dashed off along a couple of planks. Getting to the middle she realized they weren't pretty unstable. Squeaking she made the mistake of looking down. It was soooo far down. Freezing in one spot she shivered and tried to get herself to move back to stabler ground. Too bad she had frozen in one spot.

[Jay]

Alvaro thought about this and put a finger to his chin. Ah, that made sense... well at least she did have dreams and things... He expected that a fully blind person (one without even a pokemon to see through) might dream in sounds and music or something, yet he wasn't really sure himself. "Interesting," he answered back nodding a bit as he looked out the window again in thought. "I dream in..... odd things... sometimes images sometimes just noise and motion...." he stated aloud as his purple eyes continued to run over the area outside.

Ring's beady little eyes grew large when he noticed that Risa had stopped moving and quickly teleported over towards her. <You ok?> was the question form the psychic.

[Snow Soul]

Mekura nodded as he explained his dreams. "Sometimes its just music or sounds. Its not fun but in my dreams its calm." Her voice came from the top of the stairs as she tried to locate where Risa was. Kaze was staying near Kaiyou knowing Mekura would be fine near Risa.

Risa's body shuddered in fear as she looked down again. It was a very very very long way down if she stepped wrong. She should have stayed on stable ground. Hearing Ring she shook her head. ("Its so far down!") Her voice held the terror her mind was experiencing. The boards beneath them creaked and moved slightly making Risa let out a terrified squeak.

Mekura moved carefully toward the squeak of her pokemon. Risa? Where are you? Her thoughts flowed toward the connection she had with the young pokemon as she slid her had along the rail toward the unstable footing. Risa squeaked and looked up to see where Mekura was. ("Stop its not Stable!") The thought made Mekura stop and place her feet a bit more carefully, while she wondered where Risa was. She could still feel the fear rooting itself into her Pokemon's mind.

[Jay]

Upon seeing Mekura shift towards a different area, Alvaro turned his head and caught sight of not only Ring but the Ralts as well. What... was going on. Ring was growing considerably. In truth, Alvaro would have stopped the girl once he noticed where she was headed if she hadn't stopped herself. However, he was now completely focused on the area. "Ring, teleport both of you," he stated aloud. Ring seemed to suddenly nod and took hold of Risa's arm. <Please... trust me....> he stated aloud.

[Snow Soul]

Mekura listened and heard Alvaro issuing a command even as she cursed her stupid blindness. She couldn't even help her own pokemon. Much less get over there with out falling herself probably. Risa's frantic eyes shifted to Ring even as he took hold of her arm. After a small nod she latched on to him as she heard another creak in the old wood.

[Jay]

Alvaro's purple eyes never left the situation, yet his hand did raise and set itself on Mekura's shoulder more to steady her rather than anything else. He didn't need her falling either... Ring seemed to nod after that and then used Teleport to move both psychics away from the danger and actually a bit behind Alvaro and Mekura. Upon hearing something now behind him, Alvaro turned a bit and sighed outwards calmer now and rather thankful to see that they were safe. After a moment, he even managed a half laugh. "There now..." he finally stated slowly making a motion back towards the two psychics.

[Snow Soul]

She felt his hand rest on her shoulder which just caused her frustration to rise a bit. Mekura turned a split second before Alvaro as she heard Risa squeak behind him. Moving slowly around Alvaro she knelt down by the two psychics and hugged them both. She wouldn't get after Risa. She could still feel the fear in her mind. "Thank you Alvaro. And Thank you Ring." Letting Alvaro's pokemon go she picked up Risa and cuddled her until the fear was gone. Kaze moved up the steps careful not to drop the sleeping togepi in his arms. Seeing everyone was alright he went back down the stairs so not to get the floor too crowded.

[Jay]

Alvaro smiled a bit before looking towards Ring who was breathing out. After a few seconds, Ring suddenly teleported onto Alvaro's shoulder, grabbed his hair clip from his hair, and teleported away. The green haired man blinked and sweat dropped for a few seconds before his voice finally came back. "Hey wait give that back," he stated aloud moving closer to Ring who just kept teleporting away. The green haired man blinked and continued to more or less chase after his own pokemon who was now playing an obscure game of keep away now that the fear and things had settled away again.

[Snow Soul]

Mekura sat on her bottom as she listened to Alvaro running around. Slowly her frustration ebbed away as Ring played Keep away with Alvaro. Risa sat on Mekura's lap and giggled sending images to Mekura to help her 'see' what was going on. ("I wanna play, Please?") Her fear of heights apparently vanished now that she was on solid ground. She just knew she had to stay away from the loose and creaking old boards. Getting up from Mekura's lap she waited to see if Ring would let her play.

[Jay]

Upon hearing the words, Ring's head turned around, and a grin flashed on his face. Holding up the clip, he threw it as hard as he could towards the Ralts. Alvaro nearly deadpanned. "Oh come on... two on one ain't fair," he teased before suddenly grinning and trying to run towards the Ralts now. In truth, he didn't mind this at all... and mildly enjoyed it though he would never admit that under any sort of circumstances, heh.

[Snow Soul]

Risa giggled and caught the clip before teleporting away with it. Appearing next to Ring she handed it off to him before teleporting near the stairs to the level below. She was giggling at the fun this all was. Mekura relaxed as she felt the fun the three were having. Smiling she got up and headed back down to where Kaze and Togepi were. Keeping her hand on the railing she descended down the stairs past Risa.

[Jay]

Ring grinned upon getting the hair clip again and then teleported all the way down the stairs before calling out his general pokemon name as though alerting Alvaro to where he was. Alvaro himself was face/palming (lightly) by this time and finally seemed to move his hand away and laugh lightly before starting down the stairs a little ways after Mekura. Ah, the prankster, Ring.....
