₪4 [Action, Quad]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[So, after the... very much odd dreams and classes are all done, Tobias is settled in his favorite after-school spot -- the Quad. He's managed to dig the oddly meshed Pokeball (Greatball? Ultraball? Masterball? It's impossible to tell) out of his backpack, still puzzled over the fact that it's still completely empty.

Not that he couldn't say he was unhappy at the crazy Pokemon being gone. And since nobody had reported an orange lizard evaporating into data and burning everything that moved, he let himself hope that the damn thing was gone for good.

So he's simply outside, throwing the ball up and around like some kind of baseball. Does he look silly chasing it around like some kind of infant puppy? Of course. But hell, he was having fun with it, even if he occasionally pauses to reach up and run a hand around one of his eyes, as if checking to see if something's there.]

[A small grin and reaches over to ruffle Toby's hair.]

Having fun kiddo?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[Marccccooooooo. He's distracted temporarily to hug him.]

Yup!

[fierybluebird]

What kind of ball is this? [Looks it over while idly tickling Toby under the chin.]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[Giggle!]

It's a Pokeball. From home.

[fierybluebird]

Yeah? What's it do?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

It's what you put Pokemon in.

[fierybluebird]

[Arches eyebrow.]

Those animals you drew? How?

[Ryu's still getting his bearings around the school, but having a week to explore and figure things out has done wonders for his sense of direction. He wasn't, however, expecting to see Tobias. Even if he was an unfamiliar face, he wanted to get to know the people around him.]

Come to stretch your legs after class too?

ryu. <3

[...Oh hey, it's someone new. Tobias blinks a bit, but gives a little smile.]

Uh-huh.

:3?

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

It's nice out here, isn't it?

[He offers a hand to Tobias, from the week he's been here, a handshake seems to be a pretty universal greeting.]

I'm Ryu.

My childhood, man.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is!

[Tobias... just sort of stares at the hand. He's generally not into touching people until he knows them a bit better.]

I'm Tobias.

Then I hope I'm doing it justice! :>

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

[He withdraws his hand smoothly. Hey, he understands.]

It's nice to meet you. How do you like it here?

Oh hells yeah.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[Just wait, though. Once you're more acquainted, he'll be hugging you all the time.]

It's really nice. I've met a lot of people who are nice to me.

[Of course, Tobias tends to have a sense of when someone's watching him... well, when he's not completely oblivious, anyway. So he eventually picks up on Espio's presence, looking over after picking up the ball.

....

oh my god is that a lizard. Don't mind him, he's going to stare curiously now.]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

It's rude to stare, kid.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[It talks, too! Tobias quickly looks down, as if it was a snapped order.]

Sorry.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

So you should be!

[]

Geez! I just said it was rude, not that you can't even look at me. Head up, kid! I'm talking to you!

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[GAH MORE YELLING WHY.

He snaps to attention -- stiff back and all -- and looks at Espio obediently.]

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

You look like you're having fun Tobias.

[Ryoji's standing nearby, watching him run around, and he projects his voice to be heard.]

/has started loving Ryoji

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

I am!

Wanna play too?

<3

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Sure! I love games.

[There's no hesitation as he answers and Ryoji moves closer, smile on his face as he waits for Tobias to make the first move. Be it to throw the ball or tell Ryoji to chase after him, Ryoji wouldn't mind either.]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[Tobias catches the ball with his foot, kicking it up and catching it, before throwing it at Ryoji playfully.]

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

[Ryoji mimics the action, though admittedly with his tongue sticking out from the side of his mouth as he does so, and throws it back to Tobias.]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[Hey, the worries about looking silly were thrown out the first thing this morning.

He catches it, tossing it as hard as he can back at Ryoji once more.]
