Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Heya, Seph. I'm Kadota, and this is Georgia." The taller man gave the newcomer a smile, and gestured at the Togetic, who chirped a wary "Tiii" in hello.

"Easy, girl. Sorry, she's not always comfortable with strangers. We're working on that," he said apologetically. There was a beat, and Kadota's eyebrows drew down slightly under his cap. He gave Seph a thoughtful look that slowly curved into a small smile of recognition. "Wait, I've seen you somewhere before. Didn't you do a show at the Lead Drifloon a couple of weeks ago? It was good."

Kadota wasn't heavy into metal (pun intended), but he had a couple of friends who were, and they'd dragged him along. The concert was loud — a lineup of up-and-coming musicians from all over Kodo, but pretty decent. He'd enjoyed himself, even if he was more the sit-in-the-back-and-listen type, rather than the get-into-the-mosh-pit type.

The Togetic chirped again, a little less warily. If Kadota seemed to think it was all okay, she'd take it as all okay. She fluttered lightly in the battle box nervously. Her trainer looked down at her with an affectionate grin. "Well, looks like she's ready to go." He glanced around from face to face. "Ready when you are."

Adam was excited, which given that seemed to be his general resting state, that wasn't too surprising. Maybe it was just that he was more excited than normal to learn something new and battle with his partner. Or at least, he had been. He felt a familiar rumble and ping from his cellphone. Frowning, the Grunt pulled out the device.

"Hello?" Someone on the other line mentioned he had failed to do some grunt chores. Frowning, he tried to wrack his mind on what he had forgotten, but failed. Sighing, he rubbed his temple, "Uh, right. ********. Well... Thanks."

He hung up and stuffed the device back in his pocket before pouting, "Got buzzed back to my er apartment. I forgot to do some stuff there. So looks like I'm outtie~" Fishing in his pocket, he retrieved a small pen and paper, and quickly wrote down his cellphone number before handing it to the three.

"Sorry... But hey, if you ever wanna meet up again, call me!" Withdrawing Manny, the grunt winked and jogged off the field.
