Welcome to Gaia! ::

Flint nods " names Flint, nice to meet you Ruchii, and yhea thats true, they must be very well trained" he says referring to her comment about the tauros

Kacen stamped up to the camp, a raggedy towel ruffling his hair and his rainbow shirt stuck to his damp body. Baths while in the wilderness were strange, but he liked it the feel of the moving water as he relaxed and got clean.

Gwend was equally, if not more, wet, and he grumbled unhappily as he rode in Kacen's bag with his head peeking out. The bag swung and with each peak of the swing Gwend got less and less agreeable. Finally Kacen just placed the bag against Zippo back at his camp site and started building a fire, leaving Gwend to be disagreeable with the ponyta.

He gathered wood and built a strong base, asking Zippo to light it. He then pulled out a pack of marshmallows and found a good stick. "Anyone want a marshmallow?"

@ Nata & Leikkun

Lumina accepted the soup, holding the bowl for a moment to let its warmth tingle throughout her fingers. She looked curiously at the other who sat next to Liam, giving a nod in return, "You know each other?" She asked curiously.

@ shadows and anyone else

flint nods " definitely, i hope i can be that good of a trainer one day" he says wistfully, but then his thoughts were interrupted Kacen asking if anyone wanted marshmallows, he grins and stands up grabbing a good stick in the process and walks over " im in!" he says then has an idea " hey i think i have some graham crackers in my bag, if anyone has some chocolate, we can have S'mores"

Liam snorted in response, offering his canteen to his present company, "Your 'dar must be off," he teased, shaking his head and blinking for a second at the pokemon watcher's question, pausing for a few seconds before the 'duh' moment hit him."

"Oh, god I'm rude," Sitting up, Liam motioned toward the black-haired individual, "Lumina, this is Ridley. We met during an expedition a few years ago. His tauros Soulcrusher was another of the caravan tauros that were disbanded after they were finished. Ridley, this is Lumina -- she's been nice enough to keep me company all day, since you abandoned me. Quite the pokemon lover too." Spooning more soup into his mouth, he glanced between the two curiously, wondering if it'd be awkward.

Lumina grinned, "Pleased to meet you, Ridley." she chuckled, shaking her head, "And I'd have to say it's the other way around. Liam's been able to put up with me for the day." She reached back and shook his hand, the grin still on her face.

She paused, wondering if now would be a bad time to ask, but.. "Hey, back at the attack, some people wondered if the helicopter was from a 'team rocket'. Might be completely irrelevant, but what is that?" The watcher pulled out her camera, the dozens of pictures she snapped at the end after waking up from that cursed hypnosis sitting there, "They made it sound like common knowledge, but aside from pokemon I don't know much."

Lumina smirked, then amended, "Okay, don't know much about pokemon either. But it's a start."

My own ears perked up excitedly. "S'mores sound wonderfu-... DAMMIT!" I snapped at myself, shushing myself once I remembered that people were trying to sleep. "I KNEW I forgot something when we left... Of COURSE it was the chocolate..." I muttered, rolling my eyes before finding a stick to bring over with what remained of my stir-fry. I glanced over at the trio, with their seemingly new arrival. "Any of you three want some Stir-fry? Still got plenty!" I called, waving over with a friendly gesture.

@WHOEVER!

"No! I didn't steal from the daycare center!" Kayla woke in a light sweat as her nightmare faded. Panting, she looked around and remembered where she was.

Kayla glanced back at her 'pillow', Dragonite!Snookie, who was twitching his foot as if he was dreaming.

Shaking her head. "There's must be something in the water around here. I barely remember what happened in the last couple days."
