"I will throw you overboard. I will throw you overboard and no-one will care."

After ignoring Faith's barrage of bleary insults for a long while, Corbin finally responded with a few bitter sentences before promptly lapsing into another bout of sullen silence. Whilst his long-time friend (or frenemy) was hunched over the railings of the forsaken ship's rail, the dark-haired teen was pointedly turned away from the sea and trying to forget where he currently was. However, the constant rocking was still breaking through the pretence and generally made him want to curl up in a ball or something equally ridiculous.

Of course, Cloud was the one to blame for this. She had brought this whole thing upon herself, and him in the process, by answering a simple question. Well, it would have been a simple question if it was from anyone else, but when asked by his mother it wasn't so simple.

During one of those gossipy meetings between families, the topic of conversation became the strangely-touchy one of travelling to Unova. Of course, Corbin's mother soon picked up on a minor loophole in the method of travel and produced a seemingly innocent question.

However, this kindness was more of a perk in malicious interest as the woman's more relaxed gossip-orientated smile became slightly broader. Travelling to Unova? That was a long way away; so just exactly how would they be travelling? Despite picking up on this restrained malice immediately, Corbin was sad to see that Cloud was completely oblivious to his mother's antagonism. And so, in response to the news of flying away on Staraptors, plates smashed, tensions rose and suddenly an argument unfolded between mother and daughter.

After watching the sparks fly with an increasing level of boredom, Corbin finally decided to try and stop the heated discussion by producing some sort of unanswerable question that would make Cloud's mother accept the whole deal.

Things didn't work out that way. The dark-haired boy really couldn't remember what he had said, but it was something along the lines of 'Any better ideas?' with added snark. As it turned out, yes, they did have better ideas! What better way to travel to Unova than by boat? It's not like falling from a bird (which could easily swoop down and save whoever actually managed to fall off) was any less of a painful death than drowning slowly whilst a swarm of Sharpedos shredded up the 'Navy Lark''s very existence. Not to mention the fact that the 'Brutal Pokemon' had a taste for humans. Logic.

Sadly, that was an 'invalid argument' since Sharpedo attacks were not only rare, but they were native to Hoenn and rarely found anywhere near Unova. According to his marine biologist of a mother, the most threatening Pokemon they would encounter was an Alomomola which healed injured Pokemon it found and took them back to shore. Asking about Basculin was apparently offensive to a water-professional like herself since they only lived in fresh water. Asking about Carracosta was a disgrace since they were apparently extinct. Asking about Swanna earned an arched eyebrow.

Trying to argue with a water type specialist about water types he knew nothing about was a vain attempt to get out of stepping aboard the Navy Lark. This left Corbin glaring balefully at a crowd of cheerful people and trying to ignore Cloud's onslaught of complaints and scathing comments. As well as the whole sickness thing, but Cloud had it worse than him. Being related to a water Pokemon enthusiast meant a lot of boats like this, and worse, so he was tougher than her apparently.

Good; she deserved everything she got for unknowingly answering an antagonistic answer from a woman skilled in hiding and manipulating her true feelings. Unacceptable. "You can always take the next boat back. Me, I'm getting a flying type as soon as possible. If there is a Pokemon that can fly me places ready-to-pick from-" The boat gave a lurch, and Corbin instantly snapped his mouth shut to let the horrible feeling that came with it pass before carrying on. "-professor Jay's selection thing then I'm getting it."

• Blonde haired draped over the back of white plastic. The head it belonged to was that of a girl in her teenage years. Her eyes were closed, dark black lashes like ink against the pale milkiness of her clear skin. The females chin was pointed, giving her a pixie-like look, and even in her sleep-like state her eyes were slanted in a slightly exotic fashion. Then, the eyelashes fluttered lightly, revealing crystalline blue to the world though the brilliance of the girls eyes was diminished by her squinting in the glare of the sun through the clouds. True, it was a bit misty at the moment, though this was not surprising due to the time of day. Dawn. What a quaint time of day it is. She thought, turning her head to the side and draping an arm dramatically over her forehead as she glanced about the ship.
  
  
• People milled about here and there, some with their Pokemon companions though quite a few were without. The blue-eyed-blonde wondered briefly if the individuals without Pokemon would be the others on Professor Jays 'journey.' Ah, yes, the good 'ol Professor Juniper Jr. or Jay, as he insisted to be called. His call for up and coming trainers to make their way to a place called Unova had been heard round the world, or so it seemed. There were trainers from everywhere on board the ship. Sinnoh, like herself, Hoenn, and even some far off place called Jotoh that she had only heard about in stories. Pondering this she lifted her torso from it's downward position, hair flowing down to brush the ground of the ship.
  
  
• As a light, cold rain began pitter-patting the blonde stood, scrunching her nose. She couldn't necessarily say that the rain was a terrible, disdainful thing in and of itself, for the world needed rain to survive, but the girl couldn't help but think briefly that she much preferred the frigid snow of Snowpoint city. Oh yes, she had come far to become a true Pokemon trainer. After years of studying and photographing the ice and psychic types of Sinnoh's city of Snow, Kathrynn Elaina Moor would not be deterred when the opportunity to travel and study all different types of Pokemon arose. Sure, her adopted 'parents' hadn't wanted her to go, but she was seventeen and they had no real say over her anymore. Kat could come and go as she pleased, and though she hated doing something disproving, a girl had to think of herself every now and then, right?
  
  
• By now, Kathrynn was standing, though the sudden lurching of the ship caused her to stumble a bit as she walked towards the railing to look out over the constantly moving sea. With a gasp, the blonde was sent catapulting into the rail, effectively bruising her side and nearly trampling a couple of trainers in her wayward journey. Kat stammered, started up at the two. One boy with blue-ish hair to match his outfit along with a girl that had pure white hair and what seemed to be a guitar. Of course, they were both taller than her, figured. Though, this really shouldn't have come as such a surprise to Kathrynn. At seventeen years of age, she barely reached a height of five two and a half feet tall, five three at the most. So of course, she was smaller than most girls of her age, and it was a no-brainer that guys generally towered over her. In truth, Kat had come to terms with the fact that she would be short for the rest of her life a long time ago. But what she hadn't gotten over was the innate shyness that overcame her when speaking to strangers, especially when caught off guard. So, Kathrynn Elaina Moor stammered a, "S-sorry about that!" her brilliant blue eyes wide, blonde whisps of hair falling down to brush the curve of her neck as she stared at the pair, briefly wondering if they would be irritated with her or not before she swallowed, awaiting their reactions.

In reply to the man's insulting tone and words Cloud lifted her right leg slowly....before ramming her booted heel into the blue hat's owners knee. Cloud swears to this day that she heard some bones break, just a little, when she hit Corbin. But it would sever him right! The stupid icecube..

"Tch! Ya right..what would your mother say when she hears of your 'vulgarity' act towards a innocent gal?" She prodded from her position on the rail. Cloud felt better now that her Ginger tables were kicking in, the swaying motion in her stomach now settled. The white hair girl now had her arms crossed over the top of the white wash rail, her head resting between the long sleeves as a sly smirked flashed towards her 'cool' travel pal.

Cloud continued as her light blue eyes gazed over the massive body of water they were traveling in, land coming in site over the horizon. Her eyes tracked moment under the surface of the water, dark shapes riding on the waves that the Navy ship made in it's wake. "Besides, I'm not the one who was trying to weasel his way out by making excuses about 'dangerous' water pokemon we might come across to Unova. I mean really, Swanna? Their about as fierce as wet Rattata."

Although she really should not have been poking fun about that as this was the girl who had been bitten, clawed, hissed, and starched, by mots cat pokemon. The rock star didn't know WHY this was, but at any rate she didn't like the little fur balls as much as they liked her.

Like Corbin's mom, Cloud's and Kate's mother was well versed in a filed of type Pokemon-a herbalist. Faith had a huge garb en in their back yard filled with plants and other edible plants that she sold locally to the Market in Celestic Town. Paul, her Ma's Torterra, lived in the backyard, helping the plants bloom and keep the soil rich. The wild hair girl often wondered if that was why the two women got along so well, their love of their pokemon as well as the filed they worked in, or on per say.

Cloud scoffed at Corbin's remake about her taking a return boat trip home. "Really? You think I'm going to puck my guts on another boat trip? No way buster. I'm crazy not suicidal. Besides I don't see how-OI!"

Strife sputtered in shock and anger as someone crashed into her person. She waved her arms back and forth in a pinwheel motion before she found her balance again. She whipped around on the edge of her heel, first raised in a 'ready' position, as she faced her attacker.

"S-sorry about that!"

Eh?

Cloud's face became blank as her eyes scanned the new girl up and down. She was short, almost as short as Cloud which was a surprise. The new gal had a ridiculous amount of blonde hair, reaching as far as her lower legs. The newcomer's eyes were blue, but no the shade like her's or Corbin's, which ranged from dark cold blue, to electric light blue. No blondie's eyes seem to be a nice mix between the two, but it looked lighter with her eye sockets as wide as they could be as her gaze flickered to Corbin's frame, then her's, and repeat.

Cloud huffed, sticking her hands on her hips as she blow a piece of stray hair from her corner of her mouth. "Pff, it's no big deal...I guess." She grumbled. "Just keep you mouth closed, ya look like a damn magikarp..."

After an uneventful moment of blissful silence, Cloud decided to make a stand against Corbin's passive-aggressive threats by kicking him in the knee with no warning whatsoever. With a pained shout, the blue haired man made a few stumbling steps before buckling into a kneeling position. W-o-w, and to think he thought he could actually get away without being physically harmed in one way or another! Wishful thinking.

What would his mother say? That was completely unpredictable; taking the extreme of egging him on to actually throw Cloud overboard or dismissing it as childish banter. "That is not innocent girl behaviour." Corbin spat out the words, scowling miserably as he rubbed the new injury acquired from Cloud's unforgiving boot. Was that really the dull crunch of bone he had felt? It best not have been. There was a time and place for breaking bones, which was never in his opinion.

While the darkly dressed boy tested the strength of his newly-injured leg by stretching it out slightly, the cause of his misery made some off-hand comments about Swannas being as threatening as wet Rattata. Ha, wrong. "A Swanna could break your arms and legs with one jab each from its beak, actually." Corbin replied in a bitterly matter-of-factly voice. "However, Mother informed me that they also have a tendency to start ballroom dancing with each other, which apparently cancels out their vicious methods of attack." Once again: mind-blowing logic. If a Pokemon started performing an adorable audition of Swan Lake at dusk, there was no way such a precious thing could break every bone in your body! That was ridiculous.

As Cloud launched into a new rant, Corbin decided that the injury she had caused was okay to put weight on and made to stand up straight. Completely ignoring the wild girl's string of unending speech, he brushed down his blue jacket and trousers of any dirt the ship's deck held and wondered whether to focus on the still-sharp pain from his knee, or on his queasiness. This really wasn't what he had wanted to be doing with his time; choosing which pain to blot out by focusing his mind on the lesser agony. And at the same time tolerating someone's perpetual rant.

Despite predicting that Cloud would continue complaining for a while, her speech was cut short by a loud and sudden 'Oi!'. As Corbin snapped into focus at the annoyed exclamation, a blur of gold and pink completely blocked Cloud from view as another girl slammed into the railings with a winded gasp. "What-" Gasping himself, through clenched teeth, the raven-haired boy staggered back yet again, clinging desperately to the bitterly cold metal railings as he tried to hobbled away on one leg.

"Ugh, the quicker we get to shore the better. As soon as I get my Pokemon, I'm off; I'm gone; I'm done with you people." was all he said in response to the stuttering girl's apology. Despite not even acknowledging her existence and mainly glaring pointedly at Cloud, Corbin's stormy blue eyes did flicker over to her petite form to see her when she wasn't flying into railings. A huge amount of pretty golden hair flowed around her, rippling slightly in the sea wind as her uncertain gaze flickered between himself and his current travelling partner. Despite it being hard to not focus on the girl's flowing locks, it was also plain to see she was short. As short as Cloud maybe? He really couldn't tell, and really didn't care.

((I'll reply to the other roleplay tommorow, Aya. c: It's super late now.))

• The blonde flinched as a fist came up in a defensive fighting position. Oh no what have I done? Kat thought, her eyes going wide as they zeroed in on the girls face. Then, her eyes flicked back over to the other's, and she couldn't help cringing as blank ice-blue eyes flicked over her form. Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that this other girl was short too. Shorter than her own self, perhaps? It was hard to tell, as the two were quite close in height and the only way to know for sure would likely be to stand back to back or side by side. Hah! It would be a shocker to see the quiet, subdued shy girl side by side with this obvious rocker that seemed to be her complete opposite upon first glance.
  
  
• The rocker-type blew a stray piece of her pristine white-blonde hair from the corner of her mouth. Kat couldn't help but watch as the lock fluttered in the breeze for a moment before coming to rest again. "Pfff, it's okay... I guess. Just keep your mouth closed, you look like a damn magikarp..." The words that the other girl uttered had Kathrynn's attention snapping back to her, the blonde's vivid blue eyes lighting up like the Fourth of July. "Excuse me?" Her voice was now less timid than before, though it still held a sort of soft musical note to it, even in Kat's present form of exasperation. Glaring at the girl whose name she didn't know, Kat huffed, rolling her eyes.
  
  
• The dark-clothed boy's words were an utterance in the background as Kathrynn stared at the white-haired rocker. What right did she have to be so rude? Okay.. Maybe Kat was taking things a bit to personal. But still... A magikarp? Really? The other girl's hands were on her hips, and Kat couldn't help but subconsciously mimic the position, hip cocking out slightly, slim hands falling to her even slimmer hips. She flicked a cold, clinical glance over the other female, humphing slightly before speaking again. "Hmph. Magikarp." she muttered before giving a bright smile that didn't quite reach the distinguished pallor of her eyes. "My name is Kat, it's a pleasure to meet you both." She said lightly, though she really couldn't have cared less at the moment.

{Ack! Sorry about the short post v.v having a strong case of writer's block..}

A single white eyebrow raised up as the shorty try to scowl at her with her soft features. Psh~girl was probably as fierce as a Lillpup. Cloud aloud(hey that rhymed!) a smirk to dance around the edges of her lips, till it came full swing. One of the rock star's many 'talents', pissing people off. It was easy to tell that blondie, who introduced herself as 'Kat', was upset by her 'magikarp' remark.

Cloud brushed her hand though the air, as if to push away the new girl's anger. "Now, now, don't get your feather's all in a ruffle." She mocked, chuckling. Giving her head a shake she jabbed a thumb towards her chest. "Nice' ta see ya Blondie, your looking at Sinnoh's number one rocker of music and battler-Cloud Strife." She purred at the end.


Cloud then motion her finger to Corbin, who as brooding off to the side. "Tha' ray of sunshine is my good old pal, Corbin. Don't let his looks fool ya, his bite is worst then his bark." Cloud slammed her back, ow, against the rail, kicking back her legs to lean her body weight against the ship's railing as Unova came even closer to view now. Cloud tilted her head up, letting the sea wind play with her spiky locks. "Ugh, the quicker we get to shore the better. As soon as I get my Pokemon, I'm off; I'm gone; I'm done with you people."

Hearing this caused the musician to directed her attention to her fellow Sinnoh travel pal, shooting him a teasing smirk. She patted his long sleeve arm as the boat came to the docking load, giving a few hard jerks. Gritting her teeth to stop the motion sickness from kicking up, or should I say out, she coo'd at Corbin. "Naw, don't ya worry honey. We'll see the nice weird color hair man soon, and he'll give you a nice pokemon for being such a good boy to old Cloudly, yesh he will~ "

She laughed as she darted out of Corbin's hitting range as she rushed down the gang plank when the Navy Lark, FINALLY landed, allowing it's passengers to off load. The rocker zipped though people like an eager Osewatt when it saw a large body of water. She rand down the plank, and staggered once her legs hit solid ground, going in a small circle as she try to regain her 'land legs'. "If I see another boat it will be to soon!"

Cloud grumbled, as she wrapped her arms around a near by post, waiting outing out her drizzle feeling that made her head spin in a whirl wind of light and color. Damn boats...

{lol, your fine Honey, c;. Personally I hope Cloudly and Corbin get stuck together in traveling, oh what fun that be~}

Notable Personality Traits »
Artistic; mischievous; impulsive; compassionate; instinctive; critical; laid-back; indecisive; disorganized.
Personality »


Rae is one of those rare people that is a whole jumble of things, from impulsive to laid back. In general, she's a friendly enough girl, but she can be extremely blunt and critical.
Starting with her more pleasant traits, Rae is a natural artist. Give her a pencil and a page, and she'll be lost in her vast imagination. Like most artists, she carries around a rather scruffy sketchbook which has countless dog-eared loose pages. While she is good with a pencil, pen or paintbrush, she struggles with other forms of media, and is useless when it comes to sculptures. To 'capture the moment', Rae often takes a quick snapshot using her slightly-battered black camera, or she'll just automatically whip out her sketch book.
Mischievous and quite the handful, Rae has an a knack for getting herself into bother. She's way past being 'playful', and instead is an outright little miscreant. Being quite the prankster, Rae can be blamed for more-or-less every incident about town. She finds joy in teasing playfully and slipping silly puns into conversation - meaning, she can be immature for her age. The truth is, she's still just a kid at heart, trying to find her way in the big, bad world.
At the same time, Rae is very impulsive and instinctive, and seldom thinks things through, which can easily lead to her demise. She jumps into things without thinking about the consequences, and tends to drag others with her unintentionally. Swooping into trouble is an often occurrence for this plucky girl, but at least she can keep her cool; Rae is extremely laid-back and can struggle to take things seriously. This attitude can be more than slightly annoying, and most people close conversations with her in a distressed, frustrated manner. Quite surprisingly, however, Rae is the type to stick close to her friends and stand by them - she's stubbornly compassionate, which is yet another thing that gets her into trouble.
Being perfectly at home (literally) by the ocean, Rae has never been the type to suffer from the windy weather - plus, she's never been seasick in her life. In fact, she finds the ebbing of waves to be extremely relaxing, and the gentle swash of the seafoam along the sandy shores of Alto Mare is her favorite sound in the world. Growing up by the sea means that Rae's got experience with swimming, fishing and all sorts of water sports - but, this also gives her a huge disadvantage, because she's never been outside Alto Mare apart from holidays. This means that she's skirmish concerning mountains and volcanoes, so she tends to avoid such landscapes on her journeys.
However, Rae can be one of those incredibly annoying critical people - not that she means to be. She blurts out her opinion on practically anything, which definitely hurts the feelings of others. Her blunt and forward opinions are looked down upon by those around her, but at least she's honest. Even though this honesty often lands Rae in a lot of trouble, she stays true to herself. When she sets her mind on something, she becomes extremely determined and even competitive, which can lead to further foolish mistakes.
Likes »

Alto Mare, Johto.
Family »
Rae's family is quite large and extended, but they're all considerably close. Her mother, Ria, is a professional artist who studied Landscape Art when she was younger - she's certainly Rae's biggest inspiration for her own artwork. Her father, Nicolas, is actually an architect who has been designing buildings around the world from a young age. However, Rae also happens to have two older twin brothers - Syche and Aaero - both of whom share a startling resemblance to her. Whilst Rae decided to go off and travel, her brothers took a similar route and ran off to collect gym badges.
Her closest extended family is her godfather, Demillio, who also lives in Alto Mare. He's the standard merchant and fisherman, who taught Rae to fish at a young age. As a 'going away' gift, he gave her one of his own rods.
Rae's other family members also include a vast range of aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.

Undecided?
History »
Rae grew up in a fairly average household on the island of Alto Mare. With a pair of older brothers to keep her entertained, she usually kept close to them, even in school. Of course, she had various other friends and even enemies - the local shopkeepers and such knew that she was always up to no good, so most of them kept a wary eye over her. Her parents have always been quite relaxed when it came to Rae's freedom and independence, and allowed her to roam freely within reason. Not bothering to break these rules, Rae kept to the ports and harbors about town, playing with her friends along the shoreline and streets.
When she turned ten, Rae entered the Tour De Alto Mare with her mother's Marshtomp, while her brothers entered with their own Pokemon. Unfortunately, she fell into the water on one of the last corners and came in 11th place. Since then, she's been determined to win the chariot race, and still teams up with her mother's Marshtomp (although she'll enter with her own Pokemon soon enough).
Otherwise, Rae led a simple, carefree and entertaining life with her family and friends.

Storm

Rae leaned over the cold metal railing casually, her hands hanging limply as the sea breeze flicked her hair about her face. The salt air was familiar, and the young girl was glad; not only had she left Atlo Mare for the first time alone, but she was headed for a region utterly new to her. The breeze was a comforting reminder of home.

The plucky girl gave a sigh of impatience, longing for the boat to dock at her destination. The gentle rush of the water echoed against the near-silence, interrupted by the soft buzz of conversation. She only caught parts of the conversation, but she had little interest anyway. Something about getting Pokemon and leaving - or something. Rae's attention span completely disappeared as she began to impatiently tap her fingernails over the railing. The soft ringing was also dismissed by her lack of attentiveness, and she began to absently rattle the railing.

There was a speck of land a little ways off in the distance, but it was enough to stop Rae's impatient tapping for a few minutes. This was her first sighting of Unova territory. With a swift motion, her camera was out of her white messenger bag. Focusing in on the patch of land, Rae took a few seconds to correctly position her camera before taking the photo. When satisfied, she slid the gadget back into her bag, and continued to lean lazily over the railing.
