soggypastry--I said stop that.
[Well. Someone sounds a little angry today, doesn't she? Lightning's not exactly known for her easy-going nature, but she's calmed down a lot here in Johto. Except it doesn't seem that way from the tone of her voice.
But at least the growling isn't her. No, that growling belongs to the Shinx who just happens to be chewing on the gear, keeping the feed in blackness until Spark pulls it free of his mouth and starts a bit of a Pokésquabble. This does let anyone watching see that Lightning has a cloth over her arm and is chasing Odin around, the horse prancing and...yep. Dancing around to avoid her. He seems amused, though, especially after she tosses the cloth over his back. It's a saddle blanket, and it's supposed to stay on, but Odin's not having any of it. Nope, he's just running away so quickly it falls to the ground and leaves Lightning in the dust. Amused horse is amused and...almost laughing.
Yep. A laughing horse. It apparently does happen, but Lightning is most certainly not amused. She's just picking up the saddle blanket and trying again. And again. And again. And each time, Odin just runs away and ditches the blanket, leaving Lightning shaking her head while Shinx and Spark continue to tussle, hitting the gear and ending the feed without her noticing it was even on.]

Can you meet me at the Train Station? I have something for you.

Yeah. And riding him is a lot safer than flying through a storm if we can't wait it out. Less chance of getting hurt.
[Because big and strong unicorns don't get struck by lightning. Mostly.]
[action]
Date: 2012-01-31 04:29 am (UTC)Ven just watches curiously, having never done such things himself]
Good point, and since he's a Fire type I bet that helps too.
[...Mostly...]
[action]
Date: 2012-01-31 04:17 pm (UTC)Lightning's only had a little practice, but nothing seems like it's going to fall off at any second, so...should be safe enough. Hopefully.]
In the snow, it does. We're better off on foot if it's pouring rain.
[Mostly. Less than flying Skarmories and trainers, at any rate.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-01 05:28 am (UTC)Just avoid anything too crazy while riding a Rapidash, Pinksis]
Right, rain's pretty bad for Fire-types...
I don't know of any Water-types that'd travel quick when it's just rainy, come to think if it.
[action]
Date: 2012-02-01 07:01 am (UTC)As for the too crazy bit...she makes no promises. Who knows what could happen, after all.]
If there are, I haven't seen any. Alexander doesn't get any faster when it rains, though getting him inside gets a lot harder .
[Water types, man. They love dat rain.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 04:56 am (UTC)She'd just get fussed over by her small collection of litte siblings, that's all]
Sometimes Princess'll turn into a puddle when it's raining, gets really hard to find her. I think she thinks it's a game, but the first time she did that it was pretty scary.
[He's certainly learned this]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 06:00 am (UTC)Little sibs and Leon and Fang and...it wouldn't be pretty.]
Have you tried telling her not to do that anymore? She might listen to you if she knows it bothers you.
[Emphasis on might. Sometimes they don't listen at all.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 07:41 am (UTC)It'd probably drive her bonkers]
I guess I could, just seems like she has fun. Almost like hide-and-seek, just...more difficult for the seeker.
[Princess is a good girl, but Ven's too much of a soft touch]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 07:51 am (UTC)It would. She would climb the walls, more likely than not.]
Then ask her to let you know before she does it. Could make things easier.
[Even soft touches have to lay down ground rules eventually. Before someone gets hurt.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 08:03 am (UTC)Alright, I'll give that a try. Thanks, Lightning.
[This is true. Pinksis is so smart]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 10:12 am (UTC)Lightning, for her part, nods. She can't help much with a team that isn't hers, but advice can be good. sometimes.]
You might have to put your foot down about it if she doesn't listen, though. Let her know you're not playing around anymore.
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 10:20 am (UTC)Ven always appreciates input, it's a good way to learn and improve in his book]
I'll do my best. After all, if I can give other people advice on it, I oughta be able to do it myself.
[Of course, what he told Vanitas he's pretty sure is common sense, but still...]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 10:23 am (UTC)You should be able to, yeah. Just remember you can ask for help if you need it.
[That's also common sense, which....sadly, Lightning isn't really following. Case in point, this morning's shenanigans.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 10:29 am (UTC)I will. I've got friends who're there for me, I'll never forget that.
[They should probably blame Square for this]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 10:38 am (UTC)Good. We'll stand a better chance at getting through whatever this place throws at us if we're together.
[Indeed. Square just loves to screw over it's people.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 11:12 am (UTC)Especially with how this place likes to throw us for a loop, huh?
[It sure does. Really wonder about them sometimes]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-03 11:35 am (UTC)Yeah. Especially with--
[The sound of hooves gets her attention before she can complete her sentence and...yep. That's definitely Odin making a run for it with Bolt on his back. Oh dear.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-06 08:22 am (UTC)Wh- Bolt, Odin, get back here-
[action]
Date: 2012-02-06 08:30 am (UTC)You have got to be kidding me.
[And off she's going, too, with a quick look to see if Ven's coming with or not. Cause she can catch Odin, but the Bitty-chu? Perhaps not.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-06 08:43 am (UTC)What're they thinking?
[action]
Date: 2012-02-06 08:49 am (UTC)No idea. He's never done this before.
[Well, he's done it once, but back then he at least listened and stopped when he was asked to! Now he's just going and turning down practically every street he can, leading both trainers on a merry little chase...but they're gaining on him. Thank goodness he's not galloping yet.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-07 04:56 am (UTC)Bolt hasn't either...
[Which only makes him wonder what's gotten int othose two 'mons. At least they're catching up, Ven's glad for that, since trying to double around and block Odin's path could well result in accidental injuries]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-07 07:28 am (UTC)As it is, it's close: Odin nearly makes it back to the main street before Lightning is able to grab the reins and get dragged along a few paces before Odin stops, snort and pawing at the ground. He's still got plenty of energy, but for now, he's stopped.]
Get Bolt, Ven. No telling if he'll take off again.
[action]
Date: 2012-02-09 05:27 am (UTC)Right.
[He catches Bolt just before being noticed, though he's gentle in handling his Pikachu]
What were you thinking, taking off like that?
[action]
Date: 2012-02-10 08:40 am (UTC)He okay?
