Bio

Hello everyone. I'm Dutch, a mother of a 12-year old boy and I love both rp-ing and writing.

I've been writing and roleplaying in Dutch and English since 2002. I joined the RolePlayer Guild in 2014 and since May 2020 I'm one of the contests mods.

There are times I don't have much creative energy and will be silent for a while, but in the very least I will try to keep the writing contests going.

If I haven't replied in a while, feel free to poke me. Genuinly, I sometimes need reminders that you are waiting for a reply. I don't ghost on purpose, I promise. Time is just a weird thing sometimes, and if something happened 3 days ago, 3 weeks ago or 3 months ago can feel pretty much the same and I often don't realize how much time passed since my last reply. And if I read your reply and accidentally closed the tab there is a good chance I might forget I was supposed to reply because I lost the visual reminder T_T

Finishing her sandwich, Mindy retrieved a bottle of strawberry-flavoured Moomoomilk and as she uncapped it she walked to Gavin as he was standing by himself, and she guessed Michael would want to be with Niccia. There would be plenty of times to catch up with her friend, she definitely didn't want to get in the way of the lovers.

Michael joined Niccia. "It's good to see everyone gets along well," he said. The only two Pokémon he hadn't seen talking to anyone were the Onix and Lapras of Mindy, but the Lapras couldn't move well on land, so he could understand why she stayed where she was. And the Onix looked a bit stoic, but it being a rock-type it was hard to tell. His Fletchling seemed to be drawn to the taller bird-Pokémon, but it looked like he favoured Jycii and Merlin. When he looked at their Arcanines snuggle, he wanted to do the same to Niccia and he moved a bit closer so he could put a hand on her shoulder.

"If the topic comes up we can tell them," Saruya said. "We should give them a heads up before we sleep together though, because it will affect the entire team.
She looked at the playing pups and then at Michael and Niccia. "I wonder if they gave the subject any thought themselves. A lot of legendary have offspring, but I don't think Mew has any. And for human standards, I reckon Michael is old enough."

"Maybe it's good you don't remember," Blaze rumbled and he put his claw on the Charmanders head. "At least you are somewhere good now."
Mable had a gentle smile on her face and nodded. She turned her attention to Tyson and Saber, both Pokémon of her type. And even though Blaze wasn't officially, she counted him as one of her kind too, just based on his built.

Merlin watched the Noibat fly away and then turned to Blubelle. "Never tell Andy I said this, but I trust his judgement in the matter. If he wants her in his team, I have no qualms about it." He paused and let an amused sound. "Being in his possession will probably be sufficient atonement for her past actions. But in all seriousness, I do believe she should make amends somehow. I will have a word about that with Michael, so he can inform his uncle about my thoughts regarding the matter."

I love the threat XD
Ethan put his feet firmly on the ground and raised his fists, but he lowered them again. "Yeah, no, that's not gonna work. I'd rather punch a real punching bag. Or some guy who deserves it, that's the same." He turned his attention to a tree. "We could hang something on there, for punching or target practice." He scanned the garden, but there was nothing suitable there. "In the shed should be stuff to maintain the garden, there's probably some bags we can fill with something."

Benjamin opened the package of butter that came with the soup, real butter too, that was a treat, and he smeared it on the bread. As he did, he glanced at what the girls were having. Nothing he was in the mood for, but it was good to remember this for another time. It looked like a perfect evening snack while having a beer.
"Any chance of you joining the agency in the future?" he asked as he looked at Duncan.
Would you like Andy to discover Alastor now (and buy him dinner if he doesn't have any money), or do you want to let some time pass before they meet again?

Andy loves burgers, I can let him change his mind about his dinner and it would be completely in character.
Benjamin nodded to Sara and turned his attention to Marc as he spoke to them. "Actually," he said, "I would like an appointment with the psychiatrist about my medication. Maybe if I tell her again that I don't need it, she will opt for another therapy and then you and I don't have to go through the same conversation over and over again." He showed the broadest smile he could master. "Good plan?"

Marc shrugged and noted it on his medication list. "Whatever you want, Benjamin. I'll ask for an appointment." After that he went to the next table to give the patients what they needed.

"It's going to be absolutely pointless," Benjamin predicted as he too ate from the soup. "But maybe, with a bit of luck, they will see that I'm not causing any harm with my delusions or hallucinations or whatever they call it, even without any medication."
One could always hope, but he wouldn't bet any money on them agreeing with him.
Mindy dug up a cucumber sandwich for Gavin and stretched her arm so Gavin could take it from her. As she did she made sure to check up on her Pokémon quick, but everyone seemed to get along just fine and they were all eating. The only two who were eating seemed to be Michaels Poochyena, whose red ribbon was just adorable, and that peculiar Pokémon of Niccia.

Michael was looking for something to drink, there were small bottles with fruit juice and flavoured Moomoo-milk. After finishing his sandwich he took an apple juice and opened the bottle. There was definitely room for another sandwich, but he wasn't in a hurry. As he drank from it he too looked at all the Pokémon that were mingling and eating or playing together.

Lytse and Marie had finished eating and walked to the bird Pokémon, Lytse adjusted his speed to the crawling Dunsparce. With his short paws it was easier to adjust to a slower Pokémon, than try to keep up with the energetic puppy-Pokémon.
Anthony saw them coming, but continued to peck the seeds. Timothy had his back to them, but as he ate he did examine Jycii's feathers.
"Those have different colours than I am used to," he said to her. "The only Pokémon I know that has rainbow colours is Milotic. And Lytse, but that is a rare case. And Ho-Oh is of course linked to the rainbows. But that's it."

Saruya gave Harry a loving nudge. "However our pups will look, Michael and Niccia will accept them. As long as they will stay together, we can stay together." She looked at her trainer. "I don't think he has any intention to leave her side. And I'm not planning to leave yours."

"Or fly," Merlin commented, looking at the wings. How much did he know about Yvetal? Not much, just what Andy had told him. The things he could tell the man if only he could understand Pokémon like his nephew could. But despite the human limitation to understand Pokémon, Andy did a good job compared to other people.

"I just grew up as a simple Dratini," Mable said. "But after living in the open waters, not enclosed by anything, the Pokéball was frightening." She shuddered at the thought. "I spend a lot of time wrapped around Mindy's neck as a Dratini, and as a Dragonair she released me, because it wasn't practical to travel on land. She did give me a tracker and at every beach she came, she let me know where she was and I would visit her. And as a Dragonite I returned to her so we could travel together again."
The dayshift came to an end, the day had been hectic as usual. Maybe a little more due to the disappearing patient. As Andy walked to his car, he thought about the security agents and the head of the department about the events, having to explain how a man with such injuries had been able to remove his cast and leave the hospital undetected. Of course he couldn't, according to the data he had the man shouldn't have been able to do that.

It wasn't his problem, after a patient left the hospital it was out of his hands. Still, it was a curious case.
Once he reached his car he got in and drove away. Instead of going straight home, he drove into the city to do some shopping. Probably get a frozen pizza for tonight and some other things he needed to get. The music blasted through the speaker and he whistled along with the tune.
Then the news came and they reported about a mysterious death in the Thompsons Victorian Clothing Emporium.
It was a place he knew, a quaint shop, but they didn't exactly sell his style of clothes. His current T-shirt evidence of that: a red shirt with the black text "awesome ends with me".
Nothing about the escaped patient, but that would at best get a small article in the regional newspaper. A murder was more likely to be on the news.

He turned into a parking lot in front of a big supermarket and turned the engine off. Plenty of cars were parked there, it would be equally crowded in the shop. All people like him, doing some last-minute shopping.
Closing the car, he started going towards the supermarket.
"Yeah, well, you both can fly. The only thing I'm somewhat decent at is a fist-fight." He took a moment to take in her height and muscles. "Not sure if I would stand much of a change against you." It reminded him he needed to talk with Ben, the agents had told him to start working on his endurance. "But I guess I need to practise fighting against those who are bigger and stronger than me." He got up. "Just don't breathe fire on me. That wouldn't be fair."

"It sounds good," Benjamin said and looked at Steph."Is it?" According to Harriet it was, but different people, different taste and her nose had scrunched.
He drank from his water and leaned back, it was relaxing to have lunch in good company, but he did think about the job and his two team-members. One was still at HQ, the other having his own lunch with Mitch. He wondered what they would be talking about. He decided it didn't matter, if it was important Mike would tell, and if it was just a lunch between friends it really was none of his business.
It was a patient Benjamin didn't know, but he added the name to the list. Maybe it was unrelated to Simon's death, but he didn't want to call it a coincidence and brush it off either.
"Thanks for the soup," he said, when he noticed the people on the table ahead turned around to see where their soup was, and a quick glance over his shoulder learned him Marc was almost at their table too.

Marc was at the table just behind Ray and Benjamin and administered an injection to a patient. When that was done he moved to the next table and placed two cups on it. "Ray, Benjamin. Take your medicine. If you fail to take any by tonight, you will get an appointment with our psychiatrist to re-evaluate the treatment and the type of medicine used. Your conditions can easily be treated if you will just take your pills." He gestured to the room with his arm. "Everyone takes theirs, they all know it will help them. Please stop being stubborn and take it."
He remained at their table a moment longer to see if they would take it, but he had to move to the next patient soon.
Two things:

1) I finished tidying up the past events Google doc.

2) I want to explain a bit more about Meria. I think part of her lore and the magic system I used for her can be incorporated in the RP, but only if everyone approves. It doesn't have to be everything, but it would be nice if we could incorporate some elements of it.

Meria is a water sorceress, and sorcerers can bend the elements to their will, providing there is a source. For instance, the flame sorcerers need fire if they want to shoot fireballs. I think Noble has a different kind of firemagic, I'd call him a mage rather than a sorcerer.
Among the sorcerers is an elemental trust or distrust depending on their affinity. Water goes well with air, but has a distrust towards fire and ground. Because of this Meria doesn't like dwarves, who have a natural affinity to ground, and this is also why she senses the aura of Noble as hostile.

People can have an affinity to an element without knowing it or doing it, warriors often have an affinity to fire, fishermen to water, things like that. Meria's father had an affinity to water, he was a fisherman and he was always able to find fish, he called it intuition, but he could sense where the fish were.
And in the other setup I mentioned the dwarves: their affinity to ground allows them to find ores and gems in the ground which makes them naturally good miners.
Aside from being stronger in the profession they have chosen, they can like or dislike people without knowing why: because it clashes with their elemental affinity. The reaction of normal humans tends to be less than that of sorcerers.

Then there are people who are born without an affinity to any element, so they can get along with anyone regardless of what affinity they have. And then there is the last element Spirit. It's an overarching element. They too can get along with everyone, regardless of the affinity or lack of affinity.

The Hermit would have an affinity to the Spirit element, which makes him able to read people better than the average man, but he's not a sorcerer.

As for Mikhal, he either has no affinity or an affinity to Spirit, because he gets along with everyone too (I hadn't decided that yet). And Trevor has an affinity to fire, which is why he and Meria don't get along.
So far Rachel hadn't been part of that lore, so I hadn't decided any affinity for her, but if I were to give her any, I'd say Air. For this reason she would never bond with a dragon of a fire or ground type, but having bonded with a Light dragon she would have overcome any natural dislikes for other elements in dragons.

I don't expect everyone will decide on any affinities, I just wanted to explain how it works for my characters :) It will be Meria mostly who reacts to other elements, because as an elemental sorceress she feels everything stronger than other people do.
