> > They all kinda frighten me :P but I suppose that makes sense when your a character stuck in weakling pokemon body with no way out and people talking about hunting him. > > You don't really have to worry, John only fights morphs he thinks will provide a challenge, so if you appear weak and pitiful, he'll just leave you alone for the most part. He could also just kill you just for the hell of it, but most the time he won't. Unfortunately, you better not get in Claire's way. She'll kill you without even thinking about it whether you're weak or not. Then she'll probably feed you to Groudon. Nice, isn't she?

**"Ah? I wouldn't want to trouble you by taking more than usual..."** Lucy replied somewhat hesitantly avoiding Sophie's eyes because feeling a bit bad for starting this trouble. **"But sure, I'll help. I have nothing better to do~"** Well, she might as well. Sophie seemed like she would have a lot of trouble otherwise, and she wasn't about to not help her new best friend and it was her mess. Just one problem though...what was she supposed to be doing. She looked at the books and everything, quite lost for anything she could actually help with. **"Uhm...So what do I do? I've never done anything like this before..."** She continued somewhat hesitantly. She had never attended and sort of festivals before and really had no idea how to go about doing them. Aside from her own little shows she did sometime for money (Which really, never amounted to much aside from a few nights rent) she wasn't really into most of these festivals.

**_~Claire Terrane & Groudon~_** **_~Road to Hiden - John, Sindri, Zavier, Corivna and their pokemon~_** _"I will protect ye from morphs or bandits, and from the King's Guard itself if it do come down to that, for one as beautiful as ye do be, Lady Claire."_ For the briefest of moments, Claire's cheeks became the same color as Groudon. _"B-beautiful? Wh-what are you talking about?!"_ She almost let that learned composure of hers slip. and her actual thoughts out. Certainly, she liked to think she was good looking, but to actually be called such by someone was quite...odd. Especially by another woman. Ever since she became head of her house most boys her age tended to not go near her. Not that she blamed them...she wasn't exactly the friendliest of people when she was with other people, especially among other nobles and the confines of her home. **"Ahem."** She cleared her throat before continuing, any discomfort she had been momentarily feeling suppressed. She merely looked a Corivana with a small amount of annoyance, ignoring the Lilly handed to her, even if it had been quite a beautiful thing. **"I do apologize for Groudon's behavior. Surely you must know the legends concerning Kyogre and Groudon as well as I do. Not that it matters now. Groudon will not disobey me."** She cast him a brief, but oddly unsettling glance. **"Isn't that right, boy?"** Groudon merely gave a low growl in confirmation. **"In any case, It is time we get going. We have already spent too long here chatting. Being late is not something I make a habit of doing."** She said, looking over the people who had gathered. Quite the large bunch for a country road. It was rather odd to her that they all gathered here like this, but perhaps odd coincidences were allowed to happen every now and then. **"I will take you up on your offer, Miss Espada."** She began to walk away, moving towards where John and Sindri were. **"John, I'll have Groudon carry Axia until she can walk herself. that is acceptable, I hope?"** She said with a small nod towards Sindri, acknowledging his presence before suddenly seeming to recall something before giving a brief glance back towards Corivana. **"Ah...and Miss Espada, if we run across any _morphs_, do not worry. If we run into any, I'll take care of the filthy beasts myself."** She spat.

Sorry for not posting folks. Had a bit of a busy day. I'll probably be sleeping in, so don't expect a post until a sometime around afternoon my time.

Lucy had to resist the urge to pick up the cat and fawn all over it. It looked so fluffy and soft, like a warm little blanket that she just wanted to snuggle up against. **"Only ten?"** She pouted, turning her attention back to Sophie. **"But I can read three novels in a single day..."** Well, that was if she was really into a book. Normally she'd get distracted by something outside or practicing her spells. **"Oh well~"** She gave a friendly giggle. **"If that's the limit, then that's the Limit."** With that, she knelt down by the pile of books and began sifting through them. **"Ooh, decisions decisions..."** She sighed with a frown. She had wanted to read all of them, and was a little disappointed that she couldn't take all of them. It was then she realized that the books were probably going to take awhile to clean up, and that she had heard something about some festival **"Oh, uh, you sure you don't want any help? I heard something about a festival today or something. It seemed like it might be fun~"** She asked Sophie as she stood up, with several books in her arms. **"I'm probably not going to be going myself, and it would be faster with two people."** Knowing her though, she would probably end up doing more reading than actual work.

> I've finished my random Shakespeare Fan Fic story. > > It's the story of a love triangle between Nick Bottom from Midsummer's Night's Dream and his current lover, the Nurse that Sir Aaron killed in Titus Andronicus, and Bottom's former gay lover, Balthasar (The Singing Guy from Much Ado About Nothing). Sounds _fabulous_ unfortunately, I have no idea who any of those guys are. I don't do Shakespeare.

Lucy currently had her nose buried in a book, flipping through the pages of it when Sophie came up to her. She had been so caught up in the atmosphere of the library, she hadn't even seen the other girl there. Oops. That probably seemed a bit rude to the other girl. She closed the book and turned her head to the other girl with a friendly grin. **"Ah, sorry about that~"** She giggled. **"I got distracted by the books here."** She finished the sentence by tossing the book she had just read onto her already growing pile of books. **"Nice to meet you Sophie. I'm Lucille Verity Proulx."** She introduced herself with a slight bow. She was thankful this person didn't seem to have any pointy objects on them, especially a syringe of sorts. Normally, she could handle being around normal pointy things, like knives and such. But a Syringe? Nope. Nope nope nope. Just nope on so many levels. It was then she noticed the rather...large pile of books she had collected on her short little spree. **"Oops."** She chuckled. **"Sorry about this too, I'll clean up my mess, promise~"** She said, waving a hand to the pile of books. **"And yeah, I'm kinda new in town. I've been here for a few days, but I've been holed up in my room in the Inn until today."** She paused for a moment, thinking about the best way to ask about checking out all of these books at once. Surely she just couldn't take them all at the same time, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. **"Are you the Librarian? I hope it's alright for me to check out all of these books."**

Lucy watched Travis leave, unsure of what entirely to feel about the man. He seemed nice, and he didn't seem to like mr. evil robot doctor either, so that was a plus. He even offered her a drink, and even if she didn't accept it was still a nice gesture. Now though, she was more interested in the woman named Estelle. A novelist who wrote books appropriate for young women her age? She had no idea what that would be, but if it was for the age groups of adults, then she was skeptical that she would enjoy it. She preferred fantasy novels with grand adventure, romance, and magic. Still, she seemed like a nice person. **"Oh, uhm nice to meet you Estelle. I'm Lucille Verity Proulx."** She introduced herself with her full name again, though it probably wasn't entirely necessary. She walked over to the woman, a somewhat nervously friendly smile on her face. Occasionally, she cast glances over to the doctor and his pointy stick of death. **"So...uhm, you write?"** She hesitantly asked. **"Do you write any fantasy novels?"** She continued, her normal cheerfulness slowly returning as the topic turned to something she liked. **"I'm really into adventure and stuff. Especially adventure and romance novels~"** She giggled. _"EVERYONE! DOCTOR IAGO WILL BE GIVING AWAY FREE SHOTS FOR WHOEVER DOESN'T HELP WITH THE FESTIVAL PREPARATIONS!"_ Unfortunately, that evil robot doctor saw to it that her good mood was completely shattered. She gave Estelle a look of pure terror as she continued. **"U-uhm, excuse me! I like living."** She squealed. As quick as she could make it, she was out of the square within seconds. She had no idea what festival they were planning for, but she had no intention of sticking around if it involved needles or doctors. Though, now that she thought about it, a festival might be a good place to show off her skills as an entertainer... Too late now though, that doctor had completely scared her off for the next few hours. Instead, she was taking shelter in the first building she saw and not coming out for the rest of the day, and as luck would have it, it was exactly the building she was looking for. She opened the door to the library in quite a hurry, almost slamming it shut behind her. **"Aww...come on Lucille. You're a witch...pointy things like that shouldn't scare you..."** She whined to herself as she rubbed the sides of her face, trying to take her mind off of the object that she was terrified of. Now...where had she ended up? She took a quick look around the place and surmised she had been right. This was the Library. A impossibly happy grin spread across her face as she began to run through the aisles. Books! So many books! Her Auntie had a library, but she had never been allowed inside to read them. And sure, she had seen some bigger libraries in the other cities she's been in, but something about this many books being in one place...she just loved the smell of the written word. By now, she had collected a rather large pile of books on the floor she intended to read.

Meh~ Sorry, I said I'd post but I suddenly got this pile of classwork I have to do. I'll post something later tonight, probably.
