[open] Addiction Help

[Yuu Lihua]

Yuu weakly walked over and collapsed on to one of the chairs in the Commons area of the Academy. His Pichu sitting along side him, though he was wondering why his trainer looked like he needed to go to the hospital. He reached into the case attached to his belt and once more sighed in agony that there was no pocky to be had.

"I hate Tuesdays..." If Daichu could speak English he'd point out that it wasn't even a Tuesday. Yuu weakly pushed up his glasses and looked over at the other people. Should he really stoop as low as to beg others? He can't exactly send Daichu because that'd be irresponsible and Daichu might not be familiar with the island. Yuu might as well wait here until he is well enough to walk again...but that is implying no one bothers him. "Unless you have sweets to give I'm not interested..." Daichu could only face palm at his trainer's lack of tact.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

After Yuu collapsed onto what may have been the comfiest chair in the area of the commons, a girl walked in shortly after. For the young man, the short nature dormer might've been a godsend of sorts. She carried two bags in her hand. One was a fairly generic shopping bag, but the other? It was one of the fancier paper kind employed by specialty shops, and the shop in question? A chocolaterie, just like s the ones she'd occasionally visit back home.

Spying a trio of comfortable chairs surrounding a low table, Vivienne stopped at one, settling her bags down for a moment. She hadn't spent too much time in the Commons yet, but people watching could pay off from time to time. The Kalosian opened a small box from the chocolaterie, cookie sticks coated in chocolate that were called Pocky by some; she'd had store bought ones before and enjoyed them, but the prospect of a handmade one was intriguing. Biting the end off, she made a small sound of contentment before pulling a Pokeball from the small messenger bag that was still at her side and releasing her Swirlix.

"a la Mode, you have to try these! They're delicious!"

[Yuu Lihua]

Someone walked into the Commons as Yuu relaxed himself on the chair. He quickly took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. His eyes widened a little, making him look a little bit unhinged. One of the bags the little girl was holding was from a local chocolaterie! Daichu had a look of worry as his trainer almost looked like he was drooling at the sight of it.

The pink haired nature dorm student sat on down at an sitting area not far from Yuu. She sent out a Swirlix. Like hell he was going to let a pink puffball eat through his sweets! Okay maybe Yuu can share a little but right now Yuu is suffering from so much lack of sweets that he doesn't care what he looked like. HE quickly got up and slammed in the ground before her. One might think he was bowing to the girl and they'd be right, but it was also partially due to exhaustion. His Pichu only sighed and hopped off the sofa after his trainer.

"Please give me at least a few I've been dying here!" Dignity had a good run.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

Just as she handed the Swirlix one of the Pocky sticks, the little guy using his tongue to secure it in his mouth and wolfing it in to chew, Vivienne found herself with a boy on his hands and knees, practically bowing to her. He asked, not exactly politely, but the pink haired girl looked at his worried Pichu and sighed before shaking the box at him, an offering to appease his stomach.

"You might wanna..." She glanced at the unoccupied chair nearby, "take a seat first?" She giggled slightly at that. The Swirlix, having wolfed down his own Pocky stick, gave the trainer a small glare. Someone else didn't seem to like sharing much either, or maybe it was the fact he was a stranger.

[Yuu Lihua]

"You might wanna...take a seat first?" The shaking of the pocky box, that gentle giggle, for a brief moment Yuu thought he saw an overly generous goddess. Yuu took a stick and quickly took a seat. Taking a deep breathe and taking in the moment...the smell...and finally the taste. He nibbled at the pocky stick like it was the best thing in this world. Daichu let out an apologetic look towards the others.

"I've been suffering withdrawal symptoms like you have no idea..." If there is one thing that is good about Yuu finally being fed pocky after suffering a day of headaches and tiredness is the fact that he is completely without his disdain for humanity...for now. "Can't library staff respect that I need these for medical purposes?" Yuu was exaggerating with that statement or so one might hope.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

She'd stumbled across quite a character, of that there was no doubt. Vivienne giggled slightly at his antics, even as his Pichu gave an apologetic look to the girl and her Swirlix. a la Mode hopped onto the table, snaking another Pocky in his mouth before hopping off of it. Vivienne watched it happen and didn't do much; she had bough the sweets to share with her Pokemon after all, not some stranger who went through sugar withdrawal.

"So I take it you like Pocky?" Vivienne asked innocently enough, "Or is it all sweets?" She tilted her head quizzically for a moment. Her pigtails bobbed slightly and the look in her eye was nothing but simple curiosity. It would be easy to mistake her for a ditzy girl for most people. Hiding her real face was a skill Vivienne had developed at a young age, after all.

[Yuu Lihua]

"So I take it you like Pocky?" Yuu nodded as he took a second piece, though this time he is taking his time. "Or is it all sweets?" Yuu laid back, now nibbling his half gone pocky stick. He might be going faster since it still awhile since he had one.

"Yeah." Yuu said. He wasn't going to explain his life story as to why he wound up being this badly hooked to sweets. "Pocky is just more practical though." Yuu detached the metal case from his belt and showed it to her. "Chocolate spheres just melt in my pocket. I guess cookie sticks are another alternative..." The boy pushed up his glasses as he found himself almost consumed with his second stick. Daichu looked over at the Swirlix and then over at Yuu, silently praying that the two don't wind up fighting over a pocky stick.

"Anyhow..." Yuu said with a sigh. "You've been a great help...possibly the best person I've met in this place." He said as he finished off the rest of his pocky stick.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

Vivienne nodded as she listened to the boy's story. She was a bit of a sweet aficionado herself, with a major penchant for Kalosian pastries and desserts. The difference between the two of them, as far as she could tell, was the fact that she always played it safe and made sure to have something a little sweet on hand for whenever the mood struck her. "Shame boys can't carry bags in some places without their masculinity being called into question." Vivienne commented lightly. "Goodness knows my purse looks like an aisle in a candy store some days when I know I'm going to need a bit of sugar to get through."

The Swirlix snaked the last Pocky Stick from the box, giving the young man a look that practically dared him to try anything about it. 

[Yuu Lihua]

"Shame boys can't carry bags in some places without their masculinity being called into question." A twitch was apparent on Yuu's face. "Goodness knows my purse looks like an aisle in a candy store some days when I know I'm going to need a bit of sugar to get through." The look on the Swirlix's face tore it for Yuu.

"Okay I'd rather not be lugging something bigger than my hand when I'm out in the field looking for Pokemon." A bag has a chance of dragging one down, which is why Yuu personally carried his metal pocky case and a small belt bag as opposed to the bags some would usually carry. Besides, this wasn't a journey, he had his room to throw random crap in. Not to mention the girl's current attitude is making Yuu a little sour. The Swirlix was not helping. "Welp, I'll pay for the pocky back somehow...Daichu, we're leaving." The Pichu bowed politely and hoped off his seat and followed his trainer as he started to walk away.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

Even mention calling someone's masculinity into question and suddenly the stranger turned frigid then? His facial twitch wasn't lost on Vivienne, and when she glanced at a la Mode she noted her own Pokemon's glare for the boy. So much for being nice. After spewing some crap about not wanting to carry much searching for Pokemon, he turned to his Pichu and announced his desire to leave, though apparently he was going to pay her back for the pocky somehow. Without even knowing her name.

What a jackass. She thought to herself, the same vacant smile still on her face as she waved him off.

"Don't worry about it. It's not like it was my Swirlix's lunch or anything." She said with a small giggle. Which was what it was, exactly. She'd shared the food she bought for her Swirlix and herself, and he'd decided to act like an ass at the end? At least Kalosian men were comfortable carrying messenger bags and polite enough to offer an actual thank you instead of spouting some crap over how great you were.  She gathered her bags, a la Mode hopping along beside her, before heading in the opposite direction. Vivienne didn't exactly express her own anger very well, but after going out of her way to help a stranger, only for him to brush everything off with practically no explanation?

Boys can be such idiots. I wonder what Amy's up to?
