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!]

[She'll sniff his hand, then let him. She's gotten much nicer about not accidentally poisoning people.]

I don't think I'd mind being in a classroom here though, since you can look out the window and see all of this... And it'd be a really great view! [She rocks on her heels -- is it super obvious she's like, ten?] I wish I can hurry up and grow up so I can go here!

[-- Oops! That means she's not a transfer! She covers her mouth quietly and giggles.]

[championfire]

{ Aw yeah, making sure to pet gently to not get poisoned. Also, Pikachu will come over and stare up at you Blue. You wouldn't happen to want to pet him would you?}

I guess, but it's more fun being outside, and cutting class to do it. { Super obvious, but he'll still fake surprise.} Huh, I guess now that you mention it, you do look a little small to be a student here.

[betabangs]

[She would love to pet him! She's never seen Pikachu before, so she's just... a little shy about it... Hi, Pikachu, you're really cute!]

I'll be going to the middle school [She points to it!] in a few years, but it feels like such a long time away.

[championfire]

{ Pikachu will nuzzle into those pettings.}

You don't want to grow up too fast now, you'll miss out on having a lot of fun.

[betabangs]

[Hee! Now she wants one of her own...]

There's nothing fun about being ten.

[championfire]

There's lots of fun to being ten.

[betabangs]

I have to remind myself to go to bed early, and I have to walk myself to school, and stuff like that!

[These are obviously the worst things ever.]

[championfire]

You still have to do that when you get older. { Going to reach up and head pat you silly young girl.}

[betabangs]

[Oh.

Well, that's no fun.]

The kids in my class say their mom makes them go to bed. Doesn't yours? [Her mom would.

...If she had one.]

[championfire]

Not as early as you I bet. { He'd shrug.} You get more freedom, yeah. But kids need lots of rest or else they won't grow up strong. { Or something that sounds like a parent saying right?}

[betabangs]

[.................]

Do you have kids? 'Cause that sounds like something a really cool dad would say!

[championfire]

{ Shifts a hand to rub behind his head.}

Nah, I'm still in High school I don't have time for kids.

[betabangs]

Do you want kids?

[betabangs]

-- When you're older, I mean!

[championfire]

I guess? I mean...I haven't really thought about it.

[betabangs]

...Is it weird to think about it when you're really really young?

[championfire]

N-not at all. I think. Maybe?

[betabangs]

[She's weird, isn't she!!]

... I just know I want three kids! And a house! And a bunch of Pokémon! And I want to be a Gym Leader!

[championfire]

{ A little bit!

That's a lot of big dreams.
