mingle - raining cats and dogs (?)

It was a regular day for farming and living and whatever people wanna do - clouds had built over the last few days, but other then a slight bit of rain, things were normal.

Until now.

It began with rain. Just regular rain. Until the rain seemed to shudder and become soft ice. It looked like a mix of rain and snow - and glimmered like diamonds. It wasn't cold, it was just... beautiful. What a strange event...

That is, until a few hours passed. The diamond dust falling from the sky wasn't too weird. Even if it was nearing the end of Summer, it was quite nice. What began next, though? It was even weirder.

Diamonds and other gems had begun to fall from the sky, though they seemed to impact people just like rain. Not painful at all. They were real, at that! Whatever was causing this, it was... well, weird. It wasn't just the people and the outsiders curious about this - Pokemon from the forests and beyond seemed to be coming out into the town. Oddly, they were mostly Zubat and Bidoof... but there's a lot of other Pokemon, curious about the gems! Some of them are even eating them. Please stop.

...though, people not distracted by the Pokemon might notice small apple-like rat creatures. Some of them even seem to be falling from the sky with some squeaking. 

The next day, things will be back to normal - any items not picked up will vanish, just as they appeared.

[She steps closer, leans in to look closer. It doesn't seem to be hurting, and it's like it doesn't even mind the ants - if it has actually noticed them.

She tries to capture something in the air - maybe the sap has a scent. But doesn't seem to catch anything.
] Interesting. I wonder... maybe it's sweet?

[The slowpoke seems to be smiling. Ana can't help the curl on her lip.] I think it likes you.

[ ooc: The Slowpoke's name is now unofficially Hamlet. ]

[ The Slowpoke slowly turns to look at them. The blank smile stays. Does it realize they're talking about it? ]

It's easy to please if all it takes is someone picking it up. Maybe it's tame and belongs to someone.

[ He guesses it could be a pet... A weird one, sure, but there are all kinds of people in the world. ]

Than sleep to others that we know not of?

You were gentle enough with it. I think that's enough. [She muses, crouching. Very carefully, she reaches out her hand at it carefully as you'd do with a cat or a dog. Maybe it will get her scent and find her non-threatening, even if she suspects it was already thinking they were friendly.

Either that or it had a very slow survival instinct. A fight or... walk really slowly in the other direction kind of thing.
] I wonder if it's lost. I don't see any other creature of this sort anywhere.

[ ooc: Hello, Hamlet. Welcome to Starhue Valley. ]

[ The slowpoke slowly, ever so slowly, takes a step forward towards Ana. Its purpose is a mystery. To everyone. ]

Judging by its skin, it probably lives near water. Maybe it lets the water current take it from place to place.

[ Because walking sure doesn't get it anywhere. ]

And thus the native hue of laziness

[I AM SO LATE SORRY.

She eyes the slowpoke attentively. It could all be a trap.

Maybe. Maybe - hopefully - not.
]

Well, it doesn't seem to get anywhere fast without some help.

[She looks over to the stream nearby] Should we leave it here?

[ Time is an illusion, and RL can be a jerk.

Sasuke follows her gaze and then looks back to the Slowpoke. It still hasn't reached Ana.
]

It wandered here on its own, so it'll probably be fine.

[ But the tone of his voice betrays his lack of full confidence on the idea. ]

With this regard their currents turn slow

[This social construct can be a pain, lbr.

Squinting. It's almost like one part is Mexican standoff, and the other is... a slowpoke, really.

You sure about that?

[ Oops. It looks like Hamlet forgot where it was going and is now starting to look at the clouds in the sky. So fluffy...

Frowning, Sasuke takes a step closer to the Slowpoke. He's close enough to pick it back up, but he hasn't yet.
]

I'm no expert on this. I can only guess.

The fair Slowpoke! Pokemon, in thy orisons

[Really, this creature definitely knows how to keep someone on their toes. Ana still regards him carefully. Just in case.]

I think you're not giving yourself enough credit. It let you grab it without much of a fuss.

[ We've run out of subject lines! Oh no!

It's strange how one so absentminded could appear to be a mastermind in it's unpredictability. ... Or maybe it's just because they don't know about Pokemon.
]

All right. All right. I'll take it halfway, and it can figure out where it wants to go from there.

[ It's because he has a soft spot for animals that he's not readily abandoning it to its own fate. Sasuke goes to pick up the big baby. ]

[TIME TO TAKE A BOW AND GO TO THE AFTER PARTY wow we really did it

It's probably it, that added to the fact that creatures and animals such as these have instincts very different from their own - who knows what a certain gesture may mean, to humans and creatures alike. Ana nods, understanding the need to, somehow, keep the creature somewhat safe.
]

Sounds good. I'll stay close, just in case.

[ Sasuke reaches down and picks up the Slowpoke much like he did before. ]

All right, you. You're gonna get another free ride, so consider yourself lucky. I'm not usually so generous, you know.

[ And he's still going to do the gentle swaying, so Hamlet is "flying" through the air. ]
