open; Tuesday evening; cafeteria

[tevinteriscoming]

[So you decided to come to this spontaneous gathering. Not Dorian's gathering, mind. He's not leading this, it was just a suggestion some people made and one of those people who made it was Dorian.

But nonetheless, you are here, in the cafeteria, at the time suggested by Dorian.]

It's annoying. I never needed any protection. You on the other hand...

[She looks him over.]

Just let me know if you want Arbok to escort you somewhere and back, alright?

[todorable]

Huh? Your...snake? Is an escort?

[toprotecttheworld]

He's eleven feet long and won't hurt anyone unless I tell him to. So he might not be an escort, but no one will bother you if you're with him for a trip to get a midnight snack or something. It's a rare honor, so you better appreciate the offer!

[She doesn't want you to die, bro]

[todorable]

Oh. Well--thanks. I, ah, I really appreciate it.

[he looks flustered for a bit, he honestly didn't expect it and honestly does appreciate it and honestly isn't gentlemanly enough to refuse but may honestly be afraid of an eleven foot long snake, he is unsure on that one]

Maybe I can. Meet him, sometime?

[toprotecttheworld]

[Arbok is a pussycat compared to Jessie, though. She senses that fear. She does not appreciate it.]

Well, do you want the offer or not?! If I tell you he's harmless, he's harmless!

[This is why he has Zero followers, no follow-through.]

[todorable]

[but he is used to powering through fear of women]

I-- Yes? I mean, I believe you! I'm sure he's eleven feet of fine and friendly!

[toprotecttheworld]

Of course he is, unless I tell him not to be. He's the perfect partner for a woman like me. ...Well, he could be a little stronger, but don't tell him I told you that. He's very sensitive these days. Being in this place really stresses him out.

[todorable]

Makes sense, doesn't it? Who wants to be trapped in some tiny metal place, forced to follow orders?

[toprotecttheworld]

...Are you talking about Arbok, or are you talking about everyone?

[Because Arbok loves following orders, thank you very much.]

[todorable]

[what is a pokeball tho

what if we are all pokemon]

...Both? I mean, do you enjoy being trapped here?

[toprotecttheworld]

I'll have you know that Arbok would rather be nowhere else! The bond between a Pokémon and master is an eternal one!

[coughs]

Of course not. But don't bring Arbok into this. Him and I will escape with the rest of us once I find some way out!

[todorable]

But we were talking about... [a brief moment of clarity] I mean, okay. I would never say anything about your giant snake other than that he is surely great and loved.

[toprotecttheworld]

[Maybe there was a miscommunication, who cares? Jessie steamrolls people even while talking, so it's no surprise.]

That's always been a given. And that I'll find a way out for me...er, I mean us, of course...that's always been a given as well!
