[indent][color=gray][sub][right][color=ffdffa][b]Interacting With:[/b][/color] [@Asura][color=white] — [/color] [color=ffdffa][b]Location:[/b] [color=white]School Hallways[/color][/color] [/right][hr][/sub][/color][/indent]
Amy grinned hugely as she quickstepped through the hallways. She was back! Everyone was back! It was a brand new year for the team, and she could [i]not[/i] have been more excited. The first day was always an absolute [i]joy[/i]. She'd been at MSPA for three years now—but it felt so much less time!—and she already felt like she was coming home every time she walked into the door to the auditorium. All the people to meet! All the pokemon to see! Sure, their team hadn't been winning recently. But she just [i]knew[/i] that this year would be the year! Just a couple more minutes and they could start up again! Go Team Swanna!

Of course, she [i]was[/i] discouraged that they'd been losing so hard for so long. It was impossible not to be. But that just made her want to push through even harder! After all, what was the point of winning if it came easy? This year, [i]this year for sure,[/i] they would make it all the way! She picked out a pokeball with a green '[color=39b54a]R[/color]' stenciled carefully on the regulation red-and-white case, tossing it up and down in her hand as she skipped through the hallways, paying a bare minimum of attention to where she was going. "[color=ffdffa]We'll get it this year, Rhubarb! You bet we will![/color]"

It was a good thing that she stopped tossing it up and down just as she reached a T-shaped intersection in the hall. As she darted through it (faster than she probably should have), she found herself face to face with a serious-looking boy and with no way to slow down. Then she found herself face to face with his T-shirt. And then on the ground.

"[color=ffdffa]Oof![/color]"

As she looked up and saw—and heard—who she'd bumped into, her ever-present smile grew even wider. She'd seen this person around just once or twice; must have been a new student or she would've seen him more. She made it a point to know everyone, after all. But there was only [i]one[/i] reason someone could be walking this direction, at this time, on this day! It could only mean a new member! Who else would stay this long after school? Sure, he sounded unfriendly, but Amy didn't take that as discouragement. She took it as a [i]challenge![/i]

She [i]popped[/i] back up, dusting herself off and releasing her death grip on Rhubarb's ball before slipping it back into the pouch on her belt. "[color=ffdffa]Hey! I've seen you around before, but I don't think we've met![/color]" She gave a little wave. [color=ffdffa]I'm Amelia, but you can call me Amy! You coming to join Team Swanna?[/color]" Not pausing to give him any time to respond, she hopped a little in place, excited and still giving that warm smile. "[color=ffdffa]We'll definitely come out on top this year! With you on the team, how could we not?[/color]"

She resumed moving towards the auditorium through the mostly-empty hallways, but this time backwards, still hopping up and down in an energetic pseudo-jog as she waited for the boy. "[color=ffdffa]C'mon, slowpoke! We're gonna be late if we don't hurry![/color]"
