{desc=[ OPEN !! ]}The air of the cavern was moist and cool, but compared to the winter weather above, the dark place was somehow warm and comforting, although the chill settled in as soon as you got used to being in the lantern lit area. Today, Erin was giving her shot at digging up shards. Okay, so she didn't have any Pokémon that she thought would be useful for digging, sure, but she really wanted to give it a shot. Her feelings were bubbling inside and making her feel sick as of late, and her current self esteem could be easily measured by the overly large hoodie she wore over her torso, it's dull gray shade washing her out from any attention. When she wore these sorts of baggy clothes, her more boyish features popped out and she looked more like her birth gender, but today she was feeling like she would never escape-- that she would be, biologically, a male for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, in order to dig she needed a partner. This meant that someone would probably misinformedly mistake her for a guy, and she would have to desperate fumble to explain that she wanted to be called a girl because that was how she felt. She brought her Teddiursa with her on this adventure, because of the cutey's bubbly excitement at the idea. Rio absolutely loved exploring, and she wasn't sure how her Spoink or her Kricketot would do. That was how she ended up in her baggy jeans and huge grey hoodie, holding her light brown teddy bear in her arm, holding the digging gear in her other hand. She didn't know how to approach and ask anyone to be her partner... she was pretty sure most people already had partners... < What are we waiting for? > Asked the small Teddiursa, wriggling in her arm. < Go ask someone to join us! Or I'll do it! > Offered the small bear, not that her trainer understood her at all. [ However, learning to understand Pokémon was on Erin's To-Do list, and pretty far towards the top.. ] Actually, the young boy didn't really seem to even hear her Pokémon as she stared around, hoping to find a partner in the main cavern. Her eyes trailed the small cracks and insets where picks and shovels had dug away at the earth, which seemed hard in some places and soft in others. Hard rock had soft dirt cluttered over it carelessly, with the solid places smooth and sticking out oddly. She found herself avoiding any glances, settling for exploring the caverns with her eyes until someone decided to come over. It was only to be expected that her Teddiursa broke out from her grip and landed on the ground, raising her small arms to start shouting around at anyone within earshot. < Hey!! We need a partner!! Someone come and dig with us already! > She demanded, hopping up and down, tears welling up in her eyes as she pulled out a Fake Tears attack-- something she was an absolute master of. No one could resist her. < Does no one like us?! Is that it? Come on, anyone?! > [atrb=border,0,true] | RIO the TEDDIURSA LEVEL 6 Covet -- Scratch -- Leer -- Fake Tears -- Lick |

Under any other circumstances, Magnus might have actually enjoyed this sort of thing. Mining, that is -- even if he tended towards uncoordinated, he usually loved to try new things; to learn. As it were, however, he had a large pink pokemon tottering along beside him; a monster with a too-friendly tongue that might snap at any moment and eat him. And, of course, he was still struggling with his newfound identity crisis.
He made sure to stay ahead of Tetro (the name he had bestowed upon his lickitung) by a good five feet, holding a long stick between them to keep the normal type from attempting to lick him again. His arm was already covered in a thin layer of grimy saliva where Tetro had licked him that morning, and he was tired of the clinging, tingly feeling. "Now, um, you just stay back there. Right, good. We're going to go mining, so behave and please don't lick me anymore." He fiddled absently with the hem of his hoodie as he descended into the cavern, one wary eye kept on Tetro. For the most part, the lickitung was behaving himself, but whenever Magnus noticed the beast's tongue wiggling, he had to reprimand him with the stick lest he be molested yet again.
Having been told he needed a partner, and having had come alone, the first thing Magnus did upon his entrance into the ruins was cast about for any stray miners. It seemed, however, that everyone has paired off beforehand, likely bringing friends in to avoid the hassle of looking for someone. Well, how smart of them! Magnus flushed a bit at this, both embarrassed that he'd not thought to call anyone and frustrated that he really didn't know any trainers... save his father, who was probably still laughing at his "choice" of a starter.
Spotting a young girl and her accompanying teddiursa (and trying not to shudder at the thought of what the bear might do to him with it's wickedly curved claws), he put on his best stupid friendly smile and approached her. "Um, hello there. I'm in need of a mining partner, it seems, an - TETRO. KEEP YOUR TONGUE TO YOURSELF -"
The lickitung peered up at him guiltily and retracted the muscle, which had been creeping along the floor in what he could only assume was to be an ambush tongue-hug for the poor teddiursa.
"A-ah, yes, um, this is my first time, so, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing and all. Can I come with you?"

It didn't take too long for a pair of sharp, startlingly vibrant gems to cross vision with Erin's. She almost winced as the older man's eyes hit hers, especially as her heart lurched when he started to approach her, but she tried to focus on the fun she would have. She could feel blood rushing with each forced, rapid pump of muscle beating in her neck, and her stomach churned... However. However, he seemed... pleasant. His words were slightly nervous, flustered even, as he started to ask her to be his partner. Her eyes lit up and she started to nod with excitement, when he broke off and snapped, loudly, at the strange, chubby pink tongue monster he had brought with him. She recoiled, stepping back and launching her shoulders up around her ears, fists clenching. The Teddiursa tilted her head, letting out a cheerful chuckle at the silly older teen. < Don't worry about it! > She tried to tell him, waving a little paw at the man before hopping over to the Lickitung. < Nice to meet'cha, partner! My name's Rio, and you better be able to keep up! > She instantly started to go off, her mouth running a mile a minute. The behaviors of her Teddiursa might have been just enough of a distraction for Erin to catch her breath and calm down. He wasn't yelling at her. It was okay. Again, although a bit slower this time, she nodded, and stepped closer-- not to particularly get closer to the man, but to get closer to her Teddiursa who was being a chataholic again. Clearing her throat, she put her best feminine accent on her voice, "yes, um, that would be nice, I, uh.." She pushed the corners of her mouth up, trying to keep a polite smile on her face. "I've never done this before either," Erin admitted, keeping her eyes on her Teddiursa, trying to adjust to talking to people again. Not that it had been that long. Still, the last person she talked to was... more or less... an absolute creep. If she hadn't been having such an off day, perhaps it would have been a lot easier on her. It was definitely helping that someone had initiated the conversation for her though. < We'll figure it out, > Her Teddiursa replied, dismissing the two trainer's worries about the digging with a wave of her paw. "Um, by the way, my name's Erin Baker," the young boy offered, raising her gaze to the older teen, holding out her hand. Her giant hoodie slipped down to her elbow as she did, and the cool cavern air sent goosebumps rippling over her skin.

Having noticed the girl's reaction to his shouting, Magnus himself flinched and immediately felt awful -- he was rarely the type to raise his voice, and he certainly not the type to go around yelling and carrying on and scaring small girls. He was half on his way to apologizing when the teddiursa roared at him and swung deadly claws towards his person. With a shrill cry, Magnus dove behind the girl, her words lost to him.
Tetro, on the other hand, was very excited about his new friend, and extended his tongue in greeting, as though to shake Rio's paw with it. ( Rio! That's a pretty name. Magnus calls me Tetro. ... ) The chubby pink pokemon peered around Erin to eye his trainer, expression shifting between worried and disappointed. Magnus was far from the ideal trainer -- he fed him and seemed to know what he was doing, but he never wanted to play tag or cuddle or even spend time around Tetro without shaking from fear.
Hyperventilating, the trainer in question slowly removed himself from the protective barrier that was Erin, clutching at the front of his jacket. "A-ahhh, aha, um, that's uh- ... Erin? It's a p-pleasure to meet you, I'm Magnus. ... Lindholm. Magnus Lindholm. I have a shovel, which I suppose will be useful -- and I've seen a few document- eep!"
Tetro's tounge wrapped around Magnus' ankle in what the pokemon had hoped would be a comforting way -- it wasn't, of course, and merely sent the trainer skittering further down the tunnel. The lickitung sighed and looked to Erin as though she might be able to cure his human. ( Do you think supersonic would work? On the rocks? ) he asked Rio, tongue wagging comically from his open mouth.

Erin tensed when the older boy darted behind her for no reason, and swung around with wide eyes, trying to understand what he was doing. Was he spooked from something? What was it? Did she say something? The Teddiursa grinned widely as Tetro gave her a name and a tongue, and she shook the large wet muscle eagerly, unfazed as a Pokémon that often used her tongue for things. Besides, the pink creature's tongue wasn't as slimy as she was expecting, anyway. When the man finally introduced himself as Magnus, she made a mental note of the name and put a smile on her face. He seemed just as shaken as her... but of Pokemon, maybe? That was the only thing she could imagine him being afraid of, since he didn't seem afraid of her(and why would he, anyway? She was completely harmless). This theory of hers was confirmed as the giant, squishy Lickitung tried to "hug" his leg, causing the trainer to bolt away down one of the tunnels. She smiled, her eyebrows tilting up with concern, and she looked at her Teddiursa. "Let's get going, you two," she told them in a soft tone, before heading off after Magnum. "I'm sure we'll be fine!" She encouraged the him as she caught up to him, pretty eager to get started now that she had a partner. Rio shrugged slightly. < No clue! I hope my claws are sharp enough to get through the rock wall, myself. If not, maybe if I glare at it hard enough it'll soften up! > She let out a laugh before heading off after her own trainer. < We'll certainly see, anyway! > [atrb=border,0,true] | RIO the TEDDIURSA LEVEL 6 Covet -- Scratch -- Leer -- Fake Tears -- Lick |
