[h3]Blair Aschenford | Pokelab[/h3] [@MissFortune] The procession of getting the items was a little long, but necessary. He was under the assumption everyone here was a new trainer, and even if not, to do it like this was considerate to those who actually were. Blair was new, but not fresh-new. He voluntarily took a journey from Grand City using a shortcut. His parents insisted he be transported here, but he didn't see the fun in that. After receiving his Nav and Dex, he turned to his Eevee. They looked at each other for a moment, before he scanned her on his Pokedex. Like magic, the information appeared and registered. Empress just looked at him unamused, but she seemed to be having fun. [color=green]"This is a rather fun device"[/color], he was clearly enjoying himself. After a moment he noticed a familiar voice. There was a mixture of fear and relief, as it turned out to be someone he hadn't seen in quite some time. She went in for a hug, a rather strong one, making him step back a little to deal with the force. [color=green]"A-aaahhh, that's a little tight, but it is good to see you too Fantasia"[/color], he responded. As always, her fashion tastes were flashier than normal, she would also as usual admonish others' fashion sense were they not to her standard. Otherwise, she never meant any harm. In fact he can remember distinct times where she would help others. [color=green]"I, well, my family is doing well, they insisted I be transported here instead, but I didn't see fun in that. I came straight down from Grand City, and Empress is doing well as usual. How about you? I see you and your Budew still never fail to be best-dressed anywhere you go"[/color], he responded, referencing the Budew's unique colouration. On Empress' mention, she simply held her head high. For an Eevee that was normally plain she had a very fine coat. Everyone also told her whatever she would evolve into, it would be beautiful.
