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!]

[You know what this post needs? Some loser practically flying in on a bike and crashing into things.

Like a trash can. What kind of loser crashes into and subsequently gets stuck in a trash can? This kind right here. He could probably use some help.

Or should you just leave him alone...?]

[> ... He looks like he's in pain...

> You decided to help out the weirdo.]

Are you okay?

[blazingcombat]

[... Oh, hey, help. Awesome.]

I think so. Thanks for the help! [But while Barry's (mostly) okay, the bike... nnnnot so much.]

[strongsilent]

[His poor bike...]

It's nothing... But your bike could do with some repairs.

[blazingcombat]

Well, it was getting pretty old anyway and I've been due for a new one! Man, what a way to go, though.

[strongsilent]

[Oh, that's lucky.]

I think it might be better this way. At least if someone asks about your new bike, you can say your other one got trashed.

[Oh boy. Another morning, another accident.

... Dawn thinks she'll leave him alone today. Even if she's stopped with her hands across her chest with a sigh.]

You shouldn't go so fast, Barry. You'll hurt someone.

[But she's not helping.]

[blazingcombat]

[... Gee, thanks, Dawn.

Give him a minute, he needs to pull himself out--okay there.] The only one getting hurt in times like these is me. [He rolls one shoulder before checking himself over for any injuries.]

A little help would've been nice, though.

[tomboygirl]

[You have to learn from your mistakes, Barry.

But she will kneel down and look him over too. Because they're friends. Even if he's stupid and deserved this.]

You got out fine. And you're just going to do it again anyway, so there's no point in helping you this time if I'm not going to do it the next. [... Need some cute Turtwig patterned band-aids?]

{ Red will just watch, because he really can't stop that bicycle going out of control and crashing. ...Man that looked like it hurt. Oh Barry, if only it wasn't the first day of school maybe he'd stop to associate with you. Instead transfer student Red will just stare for a moment.}

...

{ Aw yeah no one can say ellipses like I do. But see ya later man, it looks like you don't need any help, unless you actually stop him or something.}
