your shoujo is beginning!

[shirimasen]

[Ah, high school.

A truly wonderful and inspiring time for all. With the school year starting, faceless students mingling about and chatting -- catching up over their summer, or grabbing their friends to congratulate them on getting into the world's top Pokémon Trainer's School -- with the cherry blossoms spinning in the wind from the rows of them lining the school's beautiful golden gates...

Yes, there's truly nothing better!

Except for perhaps the middle school just beside this beautiful campus; there's a small lake between them where the grades intermingle, and the excitement of the day - and maybe even the bell ringing to signify classes, lunch, or break! - is vibrantly in the air!

Just be careful that the principal doesn't see you with your Pokémon out! That would distract the other students, after all...]

[ooc: welcome to the high school au room! also middle school, if your character's not quite aged enough. with uniforms, cheery blossoms, and the exciting promise of an excellent spring for all classes and grades, it's sure to be a blast!

please mingle and thread amongst yourselves, and have a great time! if it's school au, it's free to go!]

[Ah, such a beautiful day...

The sun is shining gently through the cherry-- cherry--]

Achoo! Oh, shoot, really?! [Ugh! No one's gonna wanna date a snotty girl! Those aren't cute! Unless she manages to pull it off in a cute way, but it's too late for that now!

She sighs, riding on her Megnanium's back towards the gates of the school, and hopes no one saw her sneeze--]

Ah-choo! Ah-choo! I'm never going to get a boyfriend like this!

[tidaldrum]

I'd be surprised if you got a boyfriend with your attitude anyway.

[He's behind her! Haha. Hi.]

[goldenlyre]

Vine Whip.

[Sprouty has no issue with smacking Ethan with his vines, nope.]

You don't understand, Ethan! In high school, a girl's whole character arc depends on her meeting a cute boy! In it, she's willing to change herself to catch his eye, fail, realize that her best friend was beside her all along, and go out with him!

[tidaldrum]

[Ow!! Rude!]

I guess I'm going to have to find you a new best friend before that happens, huh.

[goldenlyre]

You're so rude! Vine Whip, Vine Whip, Vine Whip!

[Even as she says this though, she's leaning behind her and-- sneeze!]

Oh, no I'm sorry Ethan!

[tidaldrum]

[Ewwwww EEEWWWW -- he's yanking out his handkerchiefS and wiping himself off.]

There's no hope, unless we can find you a super masochist who doesn't mind your gross sneezing!

[goldenlyre]

[NOOOOO SHE'S GOING TO CLING TO HIM]

Ethy, don't leave me to a super masochist! I just can't handle them! They're super gross and weird and want me to keep stepping on their hands and whipping them and they have the most disgusting looks on their faces! I'll even take you, a hopeless boy who couldn't tell if he was in love if it bit him on the butt!

[shirimasen]

[A handkerchief for you, offered up by a nice Typhlosion! And who is riding it but ~this otaku stud~]

That's not a good thing to think! Plenty of guys are into mucus! That's why slime girls are so popular in monster girl eroges.

[goldenlyre]

[...............................................

What a nice boy! She'll take it.]

But coming out of a girl's nose? I don't think so... [Wipe wipe ahCHOO goddammit she hates flowers.]

[shirimasen]

One man's squick is another man's prime get off material! [Trust him. He knows. He's not into mucus girls though.] You'll just have to find the best one, who'll love you even with your slime girl tendencies, and trigger his red flags so he'll automatically fall for you.

[goldenlyre]

[HE'S

SO OFF-PUTTING

BUT AT THE SAME TIME

CUTE BOY

LYRA DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO but speaking of Red Flags this has to be one!! She just knows it! Sure, he's a little on the weird side, but maybe that's exactly what she deserves!]

I'm not always like this, it's just the spring time! I have allergies. I didn't think I'd get so worked up because of cherry blossoms though... Of all the things. [Sigh.]

[shirimasen]

At least they're beautiful to look at, right? [Smell them, Lyra-chan. Take a big whiff, like him. It's so nice to see them fluttering...]

You're not bad looking either, even if you remind me a lot of an ursaring woman I know!

[goldenlyre]

[No she's going to be sneezing into her handkerchief.]

... An Ursaring woman?

[powerleveling]

Oh dear. Allergies? [Here's a helpful bystander being tailed by a Manectric. She gives a sympathetic look before digging into her bag and pulling out a pack of tissues, offering them to Lyra.]

[goldenlyre]

[BLESS THE HEAVENS IT'S ONLY A CUTE GIRL




OH NO IT'S A CUTE GIRL]

Oh, yes, thank you very much. It happens every spring... But it totally sucks that even cherry blossoms mess me up! I'm going to have the worst headaches until they're gone! [Sigh! Thank you, kind stranger, she will use them gratefully.] I'm jealous of any girl who can stand under them normally...

[powerleveling]

I do hope for your sake that it won't be too long, then. Regardless of the cause, headaches are just awful. [A quiet sigh.]

I haven't much reason to simply stand around under them, but they make for a lovely scene this time of year.

[goldenlyre]

They do... Can't you just imagine a senior coming up to you and confessing to you?! Totally romantic! But no, not for I, who has a snotty spring!

[powerleveling]

It'd be wonderful, though... in my case, a tad unlikely, especially here. Nobody's going to come up to the new transfer student and confess to her on the very first day, you know? [A laugh.] Surely there's plenty other romantic scenarios that don't involve cherry blossoms.

[goldenlyre]

[Oh. Oh! She's new! Oh my!]

Romantic scenarios aside, if you're new you've got to have someone to show you around! [Considering this is a scenario itself - a transfer student, and Lyra got tog reet her! Oh, but it ended up so grossly...!] I'm Lyra, and this is Sprouty. We'd be pleased to be your first friends.

[championfire]

{ Hope you don't mind the boy and Pikachu jogging up alongside that Megnanium, trying to remain quiet as he tried his best not to laugh at her problem, but failing miserably. Who has time to worry about girls and such, that just seems dumb.}

[goldenlyre]

[YOU

ARE SO RUDE

If only you weren't a stranger... No, even strangers have to be punished for wounding a maiden's heart! So she glares and leans into to whisper to her ride, and a second later there'll be a vine whipping down to trip him.]

[championfire]

{ Hahaha Oh man totally having a great start to today!

...

Well you know until he trips and crashes face first into the ground. Sitting up quickly, his head would turn in her direction.}

Hey!

[goldenlyre]

[Totally innocent smile.]

Yes? Can I help you, sir?

[championfire]

{ Staring back at we know what you did.}

Jerk.

[goldenlyre]

[Wow, insulting a maiden like that! She is positively hurt!]

I'm not sure what you're talking about! I think karma's just spitting on you, that's all. Need a hand up? [Look, she's even gonna extend her own.]
