Vec, Luke's mate is Akira. Amara is one of Beast's cubs. GJ otherwise :D
I like it. It would be good to have an elder in the village. Also, Alakazam is awesome.

We'll wait to see what Rose says, but it gets my approval.
Akira


"LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!!!!"

Akira called out to her mate, not because she was angry at him, but because she needed his help. The Cubone that had disturbed her, caused her to burn down her nest which Luke was none too happy about, and just thrown a bone at her face (successfully) was standing right in front of her, and she was exerting every ounce of restraint she possessed not to rip Bam-bam apart. That amount was finite, though, and would soon run out, which is why she called to Luke. He could resolve the situation more civilly than she could. At the very least, he could restrain her.
Oscar


Oscar looked down to behold Luke greeting him. "Hi, Mr. Alpha! No trouble up here!" he enthusiastically responded. He always loved being greeted by his Alpha. It made him feel important. When Luke and Akira left Beast's nest, he decided to fly down and say hi, so he did. Seeing the nest full of other Pokemon, he simply said "Hi!" to everyone at once.
Akira


Akira looked at her mate, just as agitated as before. "'Again'? I was disturbed by that Cubone 'again'. It's a reflex, dear."

She felt a little better when Luke scolded Beast. At least something's being done about it... she thought.

That "a little better" was gone instantly when Beast replied to her. "Do you even see Amara right now?" she responded. "She looks terrified. I'd hardly make a good babysitter." She wasn't cruel. She liked Amara, in fact - she had never done anything to upset her. She frowned at Beast for his explanation, and watched Luke bark at him and leave. "I won't bark at you. That's his job," she said afterwards. "But you might want to consider getting a hold of your cubs before they get into trouble. Specifically, trouble involving me. ...This is a nice nest, you know." And with that thinly veiled threat, she walked out. Spotting the Kirlia and Jigglypuff walk up to the nest, she quickly exited stage left. She didn't want to deal with any more kids, even though those two in particular also had never caused her any trouble.
Akira


Akira needed her beauty sleep.

Not because she felt the need to sleep more, but because she was entitled to as the alpha's mate. Plus, by the time she woke up, Luke would have made all of his morning rounds and be ready for the day. It was a nice system.

Except for when it was interrupted.

Akira was a light sleeper. Pretty much anything could wake her up, and she very much appreciated how quiet Luke could be and leave her undisturbed. There were a lot of things she appreciated about her Serperior...but she couldn't think about those now, as a certain very annoying Cubone bolted her awake with something unnecessarily loud.

"YOU!" she yelled. It was a fearsome yell that, unfortunately, could sort of be heard everywhere. In the process of being woken up, she would probably end up waking other people up. As Bam-bam began to bolt for the door, Akira blasted hot fire at her...unfortunately barely too slow to hit the Cubone and instead hitting...everything else.

Moments later, Akira sat in the middle of what used to be the alpha house and was now a pile of ash.

Why haven't they learned to make our house out of something unflammable? she thought, agitated. In her frustration and the house burning down for the ten millionth time, the little Cubone had scampered away. Akira sighed. She hated burning the house down, but she hated that little rulebreaker even more. Next time, she thought.

Having nothing else to do now that she was fully awake, she left the alpha hill and walked over to where Luke was.

"Hi, dear," she said endearingly as she walked up to him. "We're...going to need a new house again. Sorry..." she said, looking genuinely disappointed in herself. She turned to the older Pokemon who owned the next. "Hello, Beast," she said, giving him a soft smile. "How're the cubs? Well...I know how one is," she said, looking agitated.
Oscar


For all of his loud extrovertedness, Oscar slept alone. He wished he had a nest, but...they were all full. Or so he was told. Luckily, it didn't bother him too much, at least for now.

Waking up from another night's rest, he flew up above the village and looked at the scene. Most people were still asleep, but the Alpha was already up and at Beast's nest. He liked the Alpha. Luke was nice to him, and even more "the best" than he was. But, he was still the best. The best Staravia, anyway. Whatever.

He perched himself in one of the trees overlooking the nests, waiting for something to happen. It seemed only the Alpha was out and about so far. Oh, wait! The alpha house was on fire. It seemed like that happened every other week at least. Something had indeed happened. Oscar was satisfied.
Why'd you even ask that? Sometimes, I really question your intelligence.

Sometimes?

Good point.

"Hey, don't worry about it," he said, having calmed himself down a bit. He noticed her nervous reaction and wanted to make it less...awkward. He kept up with her increased walking pace, and soon he reached his "exit", much to his own disappointment. The sidewalk split off into two paths, and his was one to the right.

"Well...this is my exit. My apartment's over there," he said, pointing over to his building. "So, I guess...see you tomorrow?" he asked, sounding almost depressed. He didn't want to leave and go back to his humdrum life, coffee shop or not. For all he cared, this night could go on forever. Well...so long as nothing else awkward happened. "...Noon?"




Akira

21 years old

Alpha's (female) mate.

Akira has a fiery temper to match her Fire type. She has spent most of her life in the village and would do anything to prevent harm from coming to it. As soon as she evolved into Ninetales, she dreamed of stardom at the top of the alpha's hill. Having prospected several mates, she was found by Luke and saw a potential alpha, allowing his advances. Soon he became the alpha, and is Akira's proudest accomplishment. She sits loyally by his side on the alpha hill, trusting his decisions but also not afraid to question them if need be. She has a certain degree of authority due to her type advantage over him and she knows it.

Her top mane is orange like the tips of her tails.





Oscar Biffle

14 years old

Your resident naïve Staravia.

Oscar found the village when he was abusing HM02 a year ago. He stayed in it because he saw it as an opportunity to prove that he was the best...around. He's super naïve, man. But he's also not actually that annoying. Most of the time.

Lucas' world was turned completely upside down.

Claire had winked at him.

Dude. DUDE. Can you say GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Not now. I'm too busy freaking out.

He freaked out by standing still twitching, trying to decipher what on Earth had just happened. But then he realized she was over there, so he practically sprinted to get back next to her.

Now, he was really flustered.

The barely coherent babbling continued. "Coffee? Uhhh, well, I uh, I like...I like nut. Hazelnut." He hoped she wouldn't notice his blushing in light of him noticing hers...she'd probably notice.

Okay, pull yourself together dude.

She WINKED at me.

Yes, good, you can use your eyes. Pull yourself together.

It was a WINK! A full on wink, right after she asked "Coming?" to the direction of her apartment! I just...I...

Pull it together man. Do you realize what this is?

A dream?

No, stupid. It's a big chance.

But what do I do?!

...really dude? You're not 12. You know exactly what to do. Not what you're currently doing.

At this point Lucas' cheeks were no longer red. He had his hand on the back of his head, and was attempting - and mostly failing - to act normal.

He asked her an odd question, speaking softly and uncertainly. "Hey...was that a...a wink?"
Carmen


Carmen did not expected to be basically pounced on for her efforts, but she was happy that she had put Lily in a better mood. That happiness soon went away, though, as Lily explained...everything. Her entire past, and all of the emotions she had pent up.

For Carmen, it was devastating.

Nobody on the island probably saw Carmen as one who could get sad. She had everything going for her, and was the constantly overdramatic diva that people liked and thought funny. But to be a truly good musician, you must experience all emotions, including sadness. Carmen had just never really experienced sadness except from reading sad stories and the like. It was enough to give her something to work with, but she had never experienced it on her own, and never had somebody pour out their emotions to her like this. And she had certainly never heard a story so heartbreaking.

At the conclusion of the story, Carmen was not in the room.

She was in the bathroom weeping.

She wept for Lily and what she had to endure, and how she was ignored. Lily was a strong and kind soul from what Carmen could tell, and didn't deserve to be mistreated. She had gone into the bathroom because she wanted to remain strong as Lily's emotional rock, but the volume of her sobs immediately disintegrated that plan. Eventually walking out after she had calmed down enough to dry her tears, she walked over to Lily and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Lily, she said softly. "You don't deserve any of that. I hope...that your life will get better."
Dude. Offer to walk her home. It's the perfect chance.

Are you serious? No way! This wasn't even a date, and she scrammed at my first hint of affection. You're an idiot.

I'm an idiot? You're the one who said that stupid compliment.

We both said that stupid compliment, you jerk. We're the same person.

Oh right. Dang it. ...well it was your idea!

Oh, like yours are so great.

You'd better believe they a-

The Noodle Incident. Care to explain that one?

I...I hate you.

Thought so.

"Well, ok, if you're sure you're fine," he responded to her assurance that she was fine.

Lucas looked at the darkening sky. He wanted to keep talking to this girl, but she had to get up early for work, and he didn't. He wracked his brain for a way to stay in contact with her. Asking for her number, too creepy. Offering to walk her home, too soon. He could...wait.

"Maybe I'll stop by the coffee shop tomorrow," he said. He almost said "Just for you," but bit his tongue. It was too early for that sort of thing.

"OW!" he suddenly exclaimed, and then looked embarrassed at Claire. "Sorry...I bit my tongue."

He took her hand and shook it firmly. "It was really nice to meet you too, Claire," he said, smiling warmly. Her huge, eye-closing smile was the cutest thing he'd seen in a long time. "...y-you know, I could walk with you until I have to turn off to go to my own place," he added quickly, basically blabbering.

That smile had killed him. Killed him dead.
