Arthur was slightly determined to get on the cruise ship, but before he had realized what he had signed up for. Looking at the super secret chocolatey covered sprinkled with delicious m&m's mission he had received. No one was to know about it, and he could not comprehend what had brought him out here. Today he decided to let Midnight walk around the ship for a bit with him, and his gastly remained with his bidoof in their pokeballs for now. Aside from that, Arthur always had Midnight, his meowth out with him at all times. Midnight was wagging her tail as she hanged off the side of one of the railings watching the water crash by.
Slightly nervous and soon she backed up a little as some water got on her, making her freak out literally. Suddenly a high pitched squeal could be heard from the meowth's mouth, but Arthur knew he had some improvisation to do if he wanted to get this mission done. Stretching slightly he soon let a cool breeze blow through his short black hair, but he kept it so that it wouldn't get in his way. Hanging his coat over his shoulders gently, and keeping his sweater tugged over his body so he wouldn't get cold at all. Standing at his usual height of 6'2" and letting his high cheekbones bring out his cold, hard blue eyes.
So...what entertainment would approach him today as he leaned across the railing staring at the ocean and getting lost in thought while watching the currents ignoring his Meowth's predicament as she was FREAKING out about the smallest splash of water on her fur.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 1/10 Tallulah didn't understand the brevity of her mission. Would she be off da boat? The poor nineteen year old girl had no clue. She decided it was best to pay her respects to the boat and accomplish her mission with as much ladylike grace as she could. The leggy girl sashayed across the deck of the boat, smiling in a thin-lipped manner at all who passed by her. Maybe if she could avoid talking, this whole situation would be much easier...
Delilah puttered along at her feet, the small Deerling enjoying the mist of water on her back. She skittered across the slippery deck, squealing with glee. Tallulah sighed and smiled lazily at her companion. So far, she'd acquired three Pokémon... each one had their own distinct personality, and though Tallulah wasn't one to play favorites it was easy to see that she had very little taste for her rapey Grimer.
The Skitty she'd found, mewling and alone on the ship's boarding dock, was resting in her Pokeball. But the Grimer? He was tucked far, far away in the deepest recesses of her pockets.
Tallulah glanced up from watching Delilah play, noticing that she was within spitting distance of another trainer. Wincing slightly, the girl quickly turned and adjusted the egg that was at her hip. She'd gotten it as a Christmas present, and she wasn't about to let it get out of her sight so quickly. Tal stroked the warm surface of the mysterious egg, leaning on the railing quietly.
Maybe if she acted enough like a stuck-up bitch, he'd kindly leave her alone. She really didn't want to inflict rude words on someone she didn't even know, but it looked like that was how it was going to pan out. Tallulah sucked in a deep breath and turned to greet Arthur, eyes cast downward at Delilah who was sniffing at Midnight's tail. "Good... evening. I'm Tallulah. And..." Oh God... "Shit."

Midnight felt someone sniffing her butt and instantly jumped as her claw came around face to face with the deerling. Obviously it was unintentional ut she wasn't going to let just anyone scare her like that. After all, she had her feline senses having a hold of her, but she was slightly paranoid once the deerling neared her butt. Arthur was merely raising an eyebrow at Midnight for a moment until he noticed the other trainer. then turned back to look out across the deck as if she were just another common bystander. Obviously he wasn't going to leave no matter what words were spoken to him, and he would not take bullshit from anyone either.
The serious face remained, and soon he turned to look at her for a moment. Looking at what she was wearing only reminded him of how much more cold it was outside, however, if he brought out his gastly she would just cause trouble. So would his bidoof, and god forbid the pidgey would just want to put on act. It was attention-craving at times, but he supposed it could have been worse. Even as she said hello to him, he waved at her without saying a word, and then cast his eyes back on the Ocean. Was that wave to get rid of her or was it a wave to say hello..I don't care about your existence? Either way it was rude of him not to respond. Then he got a rather interesting idea.
Finally moving away from the deck, he turned slowly towards her and was already on his way past her until right near her ear. Letting out an ear-piercing scream that sounded like a girl, and then closed his mouth after he was quite satisfied that it would have scared the complete living crap out of her. Oh yes, this was going to be fun even as his meowth was starting to twitch her tail, making it sway so the deerling would have a harder time sniffing her butt. Arthur didn't grin at all, but he merely spoke to her in a serious tone now, "Name's Arthur...what do you want?" he asked, making sure to get to straight to the point. Obviously he didn't like beating around the bush.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 2/10 The poor girl, instead of acting on par with his scream as most would have - perhaps ran, screamed back, or otherwise fled - simply rolled her eyes lazily, lids already drooping. It was clear that her narcolepsy was taking a firm hold of her brain, but only Delilah could pick up on such a subtle shift. Sadly, the Deerling was currently entranced with Midnight.
"Hello!" The Deerling announced, twitching her tail and laying her ears back slightly at the scream. "M' names Delilah, how're you on this fine evening?" She grinned, eyes sparkling beneath the night's large, distended moon. It was easy to see that the Deerling might be doing much of the talking during this particular encounter. Tallulah leaned heavily on the railing, slumping into her arms and allowing her head to fall towards the comfort of her forearms. Once her chin had settled on her hands, the girl allowed her eyes to close for a second as she took in Arthur's words.
"Arthur? Like the dopey fucking ant eater?" She mumbled, thinking that if she had to swear all this much, it might serve to be a little mean as well.
What she didn't expect was the enjoyment that flooded her senses at the snarkiness of her comment. Who knew that being nasty could be so damn fun? Perhaps this should become a regular thing. Tallulah hugged the egg closer to her body as an especially rowdy wave rocked the boat. Thinking better of standing so close to the railing with such precious cargo, she back-tracked towards the wall of the ballroom behind her and leaned lazily on a port-hole. The egg was growing slightly warmer, and she stroked its shell thoughtfully as she stared back at Arthur. Hopefully he wouldn't scream again.

"No think more like King Arthur of the Pokémon world...that might sound better, but I apologize for the scream. Now that it's out of the way I no longer need to act like I have a problem with you," he said to her, "Not that I planned on talking in the first place, but since I am now, enjoying your mission?" he sked. Merely retorting, but at least he took it in stride and didn't seem to care how hurtful her words were as no emotion continued to strike his face. What was odd, was that he was still there, and the waves hadn't moved him a foot at all. Was it the awkward position his feet were placed in? One behind him and one in front as soon the wave hit so he could balance himself...yes that was probably it.
Midnight had accidentally tumbled over, but she managed to keep her balance rather steady. Looking up at her trainer for a moment, and then back to the deerling. Scratching behind her ear cautiously soon spoke again to answer the deerling, and to be rather sincere with her answer too. "Oh no worries, my trainer can be a bit stubborn at times when talking to people, but he really does like people who treat their Pokémon well even if he acts like a jerl half the time, My name's Midnight,"
[/i] she commented on her trainer's attitude towards Tallulah. Arthur was easily assuming she had a mission from the way she was acting, but he didn't really know if this was how she normally acted. In fact he was quite content with standing there just letting the breeze hit his face, "Well, what's your name anyways," he retorted without bitterness, just as a joke this time with no real ill intent behind his words at all. Yes, he was amused by her, and now he had started a secret game that she'd have to catch on to fast if she wished to continue talking with him. Okay, it wasn't a game, just something silly he made up in his mind right now. Obviously he had a few ego issues.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 3/10 Delilah nodded. "My trainer's nice... most of the time," she winced as Tallulah made a rude comment. "But she treats me really nice, uh-huh!" The Deerling quickly added, tail twitching as she grinned. "Oh, my name's Delilah, by the way..."
Tallulah smirked and nodded. In fact, she was enjoying her mission quite a bit... however, she could feel the beginnings of a sleeping spell gnawing at the back of her eyes. She hugged the egg closer to her body, hoping to keep herself awake by thinking about the important cargo inside. "Oh? My name is Tallulah, dammit," She said lazily, turning away from the railing and facing Arthur. The young woman grinned and gave a little curtsy, cuddling the egg to her chest.

Arthur was glad that he was able to get over the fact she was swearing, but as he heard her say her name. Realizing she could have tourette syndrome, but he passed it off as just that. Unable to think of anything else to say, but he shrugged slightly too. "Well, Tallulah, nice to meet you, how long have you had that egg?" he asked her, trying to think of something else to talk about, but wasn't really paying attention to the pokemon talking near him. At least he could partially understand them.
Midnight was glancing at the Deerling again, Well, I've noticed, and mine is Midnight, if I haven't mentioned that already, she said calmly to the deerling. Then was unsure of how to actually shake her hooves. That was a good way to do it, but she just nodded her head in greeting instead.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 4/10 "Eh, fuck, I don't know... I got it recently, from the Ruins shop?" She mumbled, eyelids drooping further. After a few moments, Tallulah's knees began to buckle. It was a little bit longer before she finally sunk to the ground. She rolled onto her back, clasping the egg tightly, and began to snore lightly. Her eyelids fluttered briefly, then she was completely still.
Delilah giggled and nodded. "Hello, Midnight!" She turned around, noticing that Tal had fallen to her back. "Uh oh..." The Deerling hurried over, nosing the egg carefully and then sniffing all over her trainer. "Oh, well... sorry!" She added, glancing over at the male trainer nearby. "She just... does that sometimes."

Arthur almost laughed as he saw Tallulah close her eyes, but he realized the egg might fall if she wasn't careful. Making sure it was alright as he checked the pulse of the egg by putting his hand over it, but it looked like he was putting his hand on Tallulah's. Despite the unwanted contact, her skin felt very soft, but he wasn't going to let his thoughts get distracted by a girl...I mean, they had freakin' cooties. Okay, so he was just over-reacting, but he quickly pulled his hand back as he looked at the deerling for a moment. Shrugging his shoulders as he stared out at the shoreline, finally glad to have some peace and quiet for once. Standing purposely so that his shoe was near her face, and it would be a nice wake up call for when she sniffed the air too.
Midnight glanced back towards the deerling, but nodded towards her as she gave a thumbs up. Giving a smile that only a Meowth could with her kitty lips, and soon looked at the egg too. Oh, hopefully that egg doesn't roll off, but she looks like she's got a firm grip on it...Arthur wouldn't let it fall over the edge either cause he doesn't want to see anyone else lose their pokemon ever...he really is a nice trainer despite how ...cold he can be, she said, but Arthur refused to acknowledge this.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 5/10 Tallulah slumbered for a few minutes before Delilah's urgent proddings awakened her. The trainer sat up, still clutching the egg fiercely. She inhaled, smelling air tainted distinctly with shoe. Ah. Tal glanced over, noticing Arthur standing directly next to her. Delilah pouted a bit and then nibbled on Tallulah's fingers. "You shouldn't fall asleep like that..." She scolded quietly, and Tal patted her on the nose. "I know, Del, I -" She yawned airily, shrugging, "I know."
Delilah nodded at Midnight and smiled. Yes, she understood exactly how trainers could be cold and yet still care about their Pokemon. Tallulah was beginning to get bitter as her journey went onwards, but she was trying to maintain a positive front for her Pokemon's sake. Delilah was young and naive.
Tallulah stood up slowly, cradling the egg and glancing over at Arthur. "Ugh, I give up on all the swearing nonsense. It isn't me. 'M sorry about fallin' asleep on you, though... I have, uh, narcolepsy."

Don't worry though, Arthur is seriously against anyone that harms their Pokemon for benefit, and hates anyone related with Team Death...you know of them right? I've heard rumors that they're blocking off a certain city right now. Midnight said to Delilah even after the deerling had actually walked up to her trainer to tell her of the fact she was sleeping, but Arthur wouldn't have disturbed her. Only if she was about to slide off the deck, but there was really no chance of that happening since the railings here were pretty sturdy too. Feeling that it was necessary to get this through and over with as he looked at her egg. "The ruins, huh, must be a very handy thing to have with you, does it feel like it's going to hatch soon?" Arthur asked her rather curiuos now since it didn't look like she had had the egg for too long.
It wasn't really any of his concern, but he could tell she didn't like swearing much even after she had passed out. "Don't worry, I seriously wouldn't have let you or the egg fall off the boat, but I doubt you'd even be able to with how protected the rails are around this thing,"[/b[ he added. Although he was still leaning against it as he tilted his head to glance at her and gave her the first smile she would probably see on his face...ever.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 6/10 "Blocking a city?" Delilah gasped, little doe eyes widening in horror. "That's despicable!" The Deerling stamped a hoof in mild protest, pouting.
Tallulah smiled gratefully and nodded. "Thanks, Arthur - and I didn't mean it about the aardvark thing, I promise." The young woman blinked as he smiled, seemingly sincere. The expression didn't seem to fit his severe features at all. Tal shrugged it off and hugged the egg closer. "Yes, actually... it's starting to get warmer," she smiled and held the egg out carefully for him to touch if he so desired.

Arthur's expression wasn't worn on his face for long as he let it set back to that dead serious cold stare that made many people wonder if he was joking anymore. It was ironic that he was trying to smile, but his happiness was the calm he was feeling right now with the wind rushing through his hair. At least this wouldn't be like the titanic and the ship would sink out of nowhere cause of one silly little iceberg. That was a hard lesson to learn for that ship, but he soon touched the egg feeling it's warmth. "I'd say it's pretty close," he nodded, feeling something rustling within, but not too significant to make it burst out from it's shell just yet.
Midnight just glanced at Delilah curiously, and tilted her head softly, Don't know why, but might be some sort of strange event going on like a circus, Midnight stated as she licked her paw and polished her shiny golden emblem on her forehead.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 7/10 "I bet you it's Team Death!" Delilah said conspiratorially, twitching her tail. The Deerling leaned closer, "I hear they even capture Pokemon and take them from trainers!" The Pokemon gasped a little bit, shaking her head. "I just don't know what I'd do if I lost Tallulah..."
"You think so?" Tallulah said, holding the eggu close to her chest after he'd touched it. She could feel something writhing just beneath the surface, but she couldn't imagine what it was. Oh well, Tal supposed that time would surely tell what surprises would burst forth.

Midnight merely licked her paws as she regarded the deerling with mock interest, but after wards decided to play nice again for a change. It was easy to talk with this pokemon, and she nodded in return hoping she wouldn't have to deal with them anytime soon. Nodding towards her in return, and then thinking that would be rather horrible to run into Team Death. Well, I just hope we don't end up running into them, considering that most of their members wouldn't like standing up to Arthur due to his cold attitude towards those that would try to take the world into their own hands, she said and then merely looked at Arthur again wondering what he was doing with his hand on that egg. Midnight could tell it was getting close too, but that was just her hearing the egg picking up it's kicking.
Arthur couldn't really tell since he wasn't a breeder, but he knew that it had to be getting more active than usual. Even so, it was a good way to get a glimpse at the egg itself, and it sort of ticked him off that most of the eggs these days had the same design. Oh well, he couldn't really be picky over something as simple as that and surely didn't want to make a big deal out of it either. Nodding towards her, and glancing over the egg more merely ignoring the girl herself now. "Well, I would say that the way it's moving, it's hatching soon, but I don't know how much longer it will be I just know that it's close, an actual breeder might be able to tell you," he said to her, nodding his head.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 8/10 Delilah nodded eagerly and trotted back towards Tallulah. The Deerling rubbed her head against Tallulah's thigh, grinning lazily. Usually she'd be all over setting up Tal with Arthur, but she was tired and the day had been long.
Tallulah sighed a bit, slightly annoyed that Arthur seemed to be ignoring her. What was wrong with her? Did she smell or something? Tal wrinkled her nose slightly, then tilted her head to the side. "You're right, maybe I should find a breeder to talk to," Tal said, sniffing slightly and turning away while holding the egg closely.

"Well, if that's how you feel, then by all means, I'm not stopping you," he said to her, but offered a kind smile in return as if he cared at all. That half-heart smile of his only could be used once, and then he stared out at the ocean again. It was so relaxing and calming that he really didn't mind her thinking he was ignoring her. Even if she pushed him off the ledge of the boat, he'd still be enjoying the cool breeze and the wind whipping his hair back across his head. Imagining that as he closed his eyes, but then sighed as he looked at her turning away to do so. It wasn't his fault she was so astonished by the way he acted, however, she did have a right to think he was ignoring her.
Arthur was responding to her none-the-less, "I mean, it's not like the egg is going to just hatch in your hands for no reason while trying to find a breeder," he stated as if that was ludicrous, letting out a lucid laugh. Midnight was still curled up by Arthur's feet as she seemed to start purring there at the same time, and it was very obvious he treated his pokemon well. Just not other human beings, but this was as close as he had been to civil since meeting a Team Death member. At least he was certain it had been Team Death standing in his way.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 9/10 Tallulah shrugged and slowly began walking away, ushering Delilah with her. Perhaps it was best she found a breeder to talk to after all, not to mention Arthur's jarring scream was still resounding in her head and causing a major migraine.
Delilah trotted after her trainer, calling over her shoulder a faint goodbye to Midnight. The Meowth seemed nice, and Del loved making friends. It was really too bad that they had to part on such terms.
Tallulah cuddled the eggu closer to the warmth of her body, gently rubbing the outside of the egg. It was really quite warm now, and the thing inside seemed almost excited. Perhaps it was closer to hatching than she thought...

Arthur was fine with this girl wandering off on her own, but he had no need to follow her as he glanced down at Midnight. Then at the swaying trainer as she walked away, but he wasn't here to admire the view so to speak. "Come on Midnight, let's just stare at the ocean for a bit longer" he said to her. That was really all there was to do on this ship and no one else could really tell him what he wanted. Even so, he was glad that she was walking away to find someone, but then decided to at least show a little kindness. "Feel free to battle me whenever you want, it was a pleasure meeting you really, I'm sorry I seemed cold," he added, hoping he hadn't chased her away ...totally and completely for good. Just didn't like admitting he liked talking to people either was one of his biggest hindrances due to being a little anti-social as Midnight just kept on sleeping.

RANDOM EGG PURCHASED FROM THE RUINS SHOP 10/10 Tallulah kept sauntering away, the egg suddenly bucking and rocking in her arms. "Uh oh..." She mumbled, holding it closer. The thing just wouldn't stay still!
Delilah glanced upwards in surprise, tilting her head to the side. "Uh, Tal...?" Tallulah gasped as she dropped the egg, chasing after it as it rolled away. It seemed to have a mind of its own! She scampered across the deck as the eggu rolled towards the cabins, yelling after it as if it could hear her.
"Get back here, you! Come on!"
