My issue with GMing is once the novelty of the new idea wears off, I have no idea what to do next, and everyone is looking at me to progress the narrative.

I still haven’t watched TLOK. It’s on my long list of shows and movies to binge.
Bio
Gay, he/him, Autistic
I’m Crimson Flame and I’m addicted to RPing. But sometimes ADHD kicks in, and it takes me longer to reply to things than it should. If I’m taking too long to respond, feel free to say something. Just don’t be rude about it.
There are a bunch of RPs I like. Pokémon, Digimon, Fantasy, Superhero, it would take too long to list them all. I’m not a fan of Horror or Apocalypse settings though.
I have a particular type of character I like making. Look through my Character Sheet thread, and see if you notice what a lot of my characters have in common. roleplayerguild.com/topics/182450-cri…
He hadn’t been expecting Sully to just casually ask that in front of the RA, no less… but hey, bold moves seemed to be kind of his thing.
Finn raised an eyebrow, his hands sliding to his hips. “Wow. You just went right for that one, huh?” He giggled and shrugged. “I dunno man, she doesn’t exactly broadcast her preferences, and it’s not really my business unless she tells me directly. You could always ask her yourself. Just uh… if you’re planning on making a move, maybe get to know her before asking about her dating preferences. But hey, if you’re chill and not, like, super weird about it, she might actually talk to you. She’s cool. Just… y’know. Confidence is hot, but respect goes a long way.”
He backed toward the door with a smirk. “Anyway, I’m off to meet the rest of the squad. You boys behave yourselves, K?” He gave a wink and a finger gun, and then slipped out.
Valerian had followed Amelia through the Poké Mart, still a bit sore about not being able to afford all the stuff he wanted to buy. He was mid eye roll at a particularly ugly Slowpoke themed keychain when he noticed her stop ahead. “Ooh Pokedolls. Cute choice!” There were Pikachus, Clefairys, Ralts. So many to choose from. If only he still had money to get one. But one Pikachu plush didn’t quite match the rest. He recognized that crude Pikachu rag immediately. A Mimikyu.
Before he could react, it sprang off the shelf. Only to be caught by Amelia, who cradled it in her arms like a frightened child. He stood in stunned silence, watching her soothe the ghost-type like she’d done this a hundred times before.
He took a step closer, and cleared his throat. “I’m intrigued. A shy, theatrical spirit hiding behind a tattered mask… misunderstood, feared, and desperate for affection?” He placed a dramatic hand over his chest. “How utterly tragic. How magnificent.”
Aurelia Rose, still hovering by his shoulder, buzzed something between a sigh and a chuckle. Camellia simply tilted her leafy head at the scene.
Valerian ignored them both. He crouched down slightly to meet Mimikyu’s gaze. “You don’t need to be alone anymore, little one,” he said gently. “I’m hoping to become a Fairy type master, and you would make a fine addition to my royal court. If you’ll have me… I’d be honored to offer you a place by my side.”
Then he glanced over at Amelia with a smile. “Unless of course he’s already taken a liking to you. In which case…” He stood, placing a hand to his heart, “I shall try not to be too heartbroken.”
Finn had just passed through the kitchen on his way out when he heard the familiar sound of a DYNAZAP can cracking open. He turned just in time to see Jet stacking a plate with enough snacks to feed a LAN party for ten.
Finn gave a salute when Jet told him that the RA was outside, and the lack of information about the third roommate. “Duly noted. And be careful with all that DYNAZAP. We wouldn’t want you glowing in the dark.”
He was about to head out, when a new person walked in. Finn squinted for a second before he remembered where he had seen his face before. He was involved in the drama with Rio. He didn’t know Sully personally, but he’d seen enough. Rio shouting. Sully shoving back.
And then…
“Glad to see we’re sharing the same spot. Feel free to bring the cheerleaders around any time!”
Finn blinked, then giggled. “Wow, not even unpacked yet, and you’re already trying to get lucky? Bold move. Should I hang a ‘cheerleaders welcome’ sign on your bedroom door?” He gave a playful shrug. “Too bad most of the others are dating each other.”
Then the RA Nate Jet told him about came in soon after, and asked if he’d seen Jet. Finn gave a little finger-gun. “Yep, just saw him now! Currently one with his command center.”
Then, with a glance toward the door: “Btw, if you need a hand with anything before I head out, just say the word. I was on my way to meet the cheer crew, but I’ve got a few minutes. I lift people for sport. A few boxes can’t be that hard.”
A looooong time ago, I named my character Crimson Flame in a Black Rock Shooter RPG. I wanted to do something different from the names I normally do, and here we are.
I’m considering changing it to something more fitting of me, but I don’t know what.
The Poké Mart sat just a short walk from the Center. When he got inside, he saw so many things on display. Not just the Pokeballs and Potions, there were other cute and sparkly things on display. “Let’s see,” he mused aloud, plucking various things off the shelf. “A few of these. A handful of Poké Balls. Perhaps one of those delightful little sprays that smell like pecha berries, very fresh, very forest-forward. And maybe some status healers for good measure. Oh, is that a silk scarf? That would definitely complement Aurelia Rose’s aesthetic.”
He brought his small collection of stuff to the counter with a content smile. “I’ll take all this.”
The cashier, beeped the items through the register.
“That’ll be… 8,250 Poké.”
Valerian blinked. “I’m sorry. What now?”
“Eight thousand, two hundred and fifty Poké,” the clerk repeated, deadpan.
Valerian stared at the total like it had personally insulted him. “But I only have…” He pulled up his Trainer ID and checked. “One thousand, seven hundred and fifty.”
The silence that followed was deafening.
Aurelia Rose buzzed awkwardly. Camellia just blinked, already sensing that her new trainer was having A Moment.
Valerian put a hand to his temple. “This must be what poverty feels like…”
The clerk just nodded sympathetically. “Yeah. Welcome to being a rookie trainer.”
If he was allowed to use his prince money, he could have bought out this whole store in a heartbeat. But no, he had limited funds, and therefore could only buy the basic supplies. How beige… Valerian inhaled deeply through his nose and, with great dignity, began removing items from his pile one by one. He took the Silk Scarf out first with a dramatic sigh. “Someday.” Then the excess of Pokeballs. He already had 9 anyway. The berry scented spray? Regretfully returned. He would simply have to smell like battlefield sweat like the rest of the commoners. “A Repel. An Escape Rope. Two Antidotes. A Paralyze Heal. And One Awakening.”
The cashier rang up the new total. “That’ll be 1,550 Poké. New trainers also get a Free Potion with their first purchase.”
Valerian accepted his bag of goods with a princely “Thank you,” before turning on his heel and whispering under his breath. “One day I shall return. With prize money. With prestige. And with a shopping list that knows no bounds.”
While he was still sulking about only having 200 Poké to his name, he noticed Amelia had returned. Valerian blinked when she asked if he wanted to come along. A week ago, he might have scoffed at the idea, he might have said he had more important things to do. Now?
He looked at Aurelia Rose, who buzzed with curiosity. He looked at Camellia, who was gently tilting her leafy head toward Amelia curiously.
And then he looked back at the girl. “…You’re asking me?” he said, like it was still new to him. “Then yes. Lead the way, Lady Amelia.”
