[atrb=background,http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4875/shadowfallmidcopy.jpg,true] Why go to Blizzard Island in the middle of winter? And not just winter but when it was coldest, mind you? Simple. The solitude. This dark-pelted pokemon wasn't just a lone explorer for nothing, she enjoyed not having to report back to a guild and to be surrounded by thousands of pokemon. Unless it was to look for missions... but that was a different story. She only took missions when it was something particularly important, otherwise, she was perfectly happy just exploring whatever dungeons she wanted and keeping whatever treasure she happened to find. She was a lone wolf... and she liked it that way... The umbreon's dark fur was fluffed out so far that she resembled a puffball walking through the snowy-white landscape. She hated how much her fur made her stand out but it couldn't be helped, so she just had to deal with it. Even if every wild pokemon seemed to notice her... "Smoochum!"

[/i] Quickly she turned around and subdued a rather brave smoochum that tried to sneak up on her. An angry growl rumbled in her throat as she continued on her way. Accursed wild pokemon wanting to attack everything that moved! Why couldn't they just leave her alone! She was tired of fighting everything that moved just because she was exploring! A puff of mist came out of her nose as she breathed. This was going to be a long exploration... And there had better be some good treasure at the end, or at least something interesting happening.

The umbreon stopped and peered around, the cold was starting to make her shiver. She saw no other pokemon in sight... Maybe she could get a small reprieve and regain some lost body heat... She laid down on the ground slowly, all the while keeping her eyes on he surroundings. Finally she curled up into a ball with one blood-red eye open and the other closed, her ears were perked the whole while as she rested and grew warmer in the cold unforgiving place.

Kurai, however, was never known for paying close attention to “the obvious”, especially when it came to proving a point or two. Hence why the Scraggy was in the frigid wasteland that was Blizzard Island. Arceus knew how the little creature had managed to make it as far as he had, sheer force of stubborn will perhaps, but he was beginning to slow his plodding trek through the snow. Stupid snow. Stupid island. Stupid brothers. Kurai growled, or tried to. Really he just made a pathetic squeaking noise. The creature had his rubbery skin pulled up to his neck in a vain attempt to keep warm, but when you were a lizard Pokémon… yeah, it didn’t work out well. Arceus, he was going to freeze to death. Why the hell was he so stupid sometimes? Kurai shuddered. He was going to have to find shelter soon. Or someone warm. The dark-fighting type cringed at the mere thought of swallowing his pride and cuddling up to someone. Still, it was either that, or freeze to death. The Pokémon slipped, falling hard and hissing a little between his teeth. As the creature stood up, he spotted the ebony pelt of some other Pokémon, a mammal clearly (lizards rarely sported fury), and quite honestly basically his saving grace. Oh great, this isn’t going to be awkward. Kurai scrambled to his feet, and hesitated, ’Scuse me stranger, can I please have a hug? I’d appreciate not freezing to death. He groaned inwardly, before clearing his throat, “H-h-hey.” Kurai stammered out, he only just considered the possibility that this stranger could, in fact, be some outlaw. Too late now, he was going to have to hope she was a cuddly outlaw if that was the case, “L-l-listen, this is going t-to sound s-s-stupid, b-but I’m go-gonna t-turn into a Scr-Scragsicle i-if I don’t get w-warm soon, y-you wouldn’t mind… e-er… d-damn, j-j-just don’t let me fr-freeze. An-and don’t make me b-beg.” He was trembling as he spoke, the cold was clearly starting to get to him. The fact that he wasn’t frozen quite yet was probably a miracle in and of itself. Without this Pokémon’s help, he sure wasn’t going to last long. [/style] [/style]

[atrb=background,http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4875/shadowfallmidcopy.jpg,true] The dark-type pokemon contemplated falling asleep... But a nagging thought at the back of her mind reminded her that it wouldn't be safe. Anything could sneak up on her... Anything. And it was at that moment that she heard something crunching against the snow. She turned her head ever so slightly and saw a scraggy. The stupid thing had fallen down... Oh Arceus, she hoped that thing wouldn't notice her. She was quite sure it wasn't a wild pokemon native to Blizzard Island. That much was obvious as a scraggy was less adapted to the cold landscape than she was. As she watched the pokemon scramble up she saw that it had noticed her. Damnit! The thing would probably want to talk... She wished that her fur wasn't so visible... She curled into a tighter ball and squeezed her eyes shut, wishing that the pokemon would go away and leave her to her herself... She was not a social pokemon. Go away. Go away. Go away... She repeated over and over in her mind but oblivious to her thoughts the creature kept getting nearer. She could tell by the crunching sound of the snow getting closer... and closer... and closer... and closer... “H-h-hey.” A defeated sigh escaped from her throat... Slowly she uncurled herself just enough so she could see the pokemon before her. Up close the pokemon looked terrible... He looked to be half-frozen as he stood in front of her. Pity for the poor scraggy came unbidden to her heart... So much so that she almost didn't catch his words. Almost. An incredulous look came onto her countenance. What had he just asked her? Was he serious? A complete stranger? He expected her of all umbreon to let him cuddle up to her? She nearly spat and turned over to ignore him but... She looked him up and down, the look of shock slowly leaving to form one of pity. She couldn't just let him freeze it would be wrong. Sure, she didn't know him but what sort of explorer would she be if she didn't help those that needed it? For the second time today she let out a defeated sigh and uncurled herself a bit more, leaving a space for the scraggy to snuggle up to her. "C'mon, then. Lie down next to me." She added as an afterthought, "But I swear t'Arceus if ya try anything you'll wish ya never hatched!" Though she was sure that the scraggy was far too cold to even think of anything but warming up, but it didn't hurt to make sure. Tags: Kurai Notes: Aww poor Kurai... Muse: 5/10 Words: 465

The Scraggy felt like being rude, snapping at her to hurry up and make a decision, but his desperation shouldered aside his usually prickly nature. As a result, he found himself merely praying to Arceus that the creature would take pity on him. God he was stupid though, what was he even doing out here? He reminded himself to never, ever, even when he was on a rescue team, wander around the frigid parts of his world ever again. So not worth it. The ebony creature let out a sigh, and Kurai stiffened, hope blooming in his chest. Good god he was pathetic, but he couldn’t really hold onto much pride at the moment. Lest he let himself become aforementioned Scragsicle, and he certainly didn’t want that at all. "C'mon, then. Lie down next to me." The Umbreon stated, and Kurai almost tripped over his baggy pants as he hauled tail over to her. The dual-type flushed though, embarrassment flooding through him as the creature continued, "But I swear t'Arceus if ya try anything you'll wish ya never hatched!" For a moment he could only stand in front of her, miserably wondering if he should just go on ahead and find some other random stranger to snuggle up with. Honestly, he wasn’t going to pull something on her! What did he look like, a rapist? The creature struggled to keep himself from snapping something irritably, and hauled the rubbery skin he wore as pants up to his chin. Whatever, there wasn’t much he could do. He hunkered down next to the Umbreon, relaxing a little in relief of the fact that she provided the body heat his own blood couldn’t supply him. He heaved a soft sigh, snapping his gaze over to her and narrowing his eyes. “Th-thanks I guess.” He grumbled, deciding it was better to just ignore the last comment. Er, well not ignore it so much as not quite respond to it. Just how was he supposed to anyways? If he actually said something he was going to either sound like a creep or overly defensive. Neither of which would help his case. The creature wondered if he could stay silent. That would have been just peachy, sitting next to a pretty stranger (okay, shut up, he wasn’t doing anything, just making an observation) and trying not to freeze to death. “You wouldn’t… happen to know how to get out of here would you?” Kurai asked, happy that he wasn’t stumbling over his words thanks to the cold anymore. It was still decidedly chilly, but the warmth of this stranger certainly helped. Almost as an afterthought he quickly added, “My name’s Kurai, by the way.” [/style] [/style]
