lostcarnival | [OPEN] Training

Who: Psionic and Others
When: The day after Orientation
Where: Various Carnival Places
What: Training the Newbies
Warnings: Nothing I can think of!

I. Knock Knock
[It's probably TOO early for anyone to come knocking at your trailer door, and yet the sound of someone knocking echos through your new shared living space.]

Hello! It's time for the real orientation now. Wake up!

[The voice may not be familiar to you, but it's the Psionic, smiling despite the ungodly time of day you find yourself unfortunately awake for. He is looking specifically for Yuugi, Chiaki, Shadow Link, and Papyrus. But maybe you're unfortunate enough to room with one of those guys. Or maybe he got the wrong trailer by mistake?]

II. Introductions
[You're dressed you've eaten, and you ready to start the day! Or maybe not. Either way work is about to begin! Or is it?]

Okay welcome to the team everyone! We're going to do introductions first so, everyone say your name, your species, where you're from, and what you can do. I don't care how long you've worked here, we all need to know each other so everyone going to make an introduction.

[And he really means everyone. Looking at you Vets.]

III. Training
[Okay, now the work REALLY begins. For real. Probably.]

Okay, Bonnie, you'll be training with Ginko. Link, you're with Silver. Be nice.

[He gives Silver an "I'm Serious" look before continuing.]

And for the rest of you, we don't have anyone currently filling your position so you'll be training with me.

Any questions?

IV. Check In
How's it going?

[Psi suddenly comes up to see what you're working on and how well you're doing it. If you're training he's checking on that, if you're learning then he's checking on that. Did he catch you being productive? Or were you taking your too many minutes long break? Maybe you don't even work for his department?]

V. Break Time
[Finally you can relax after your first day of labour. The normally talkative Psi is strangely quiet as he sits in the cookhouse. Probably just because he's eating, but maybe there's something else that's bothering him. Or maybe you're more interested in bothering someone else on during your breaktime.]

OOC: Mingle top levels below for the introductions and for training! Feel free to create your own as well. If you want to respond to Psi specifically just tag with the number of the prompt your replying to in the subject line!

Why do you think that?

Uh, because it's true?

But how do you know it's true?

Do you see anyone walking all over me?

True, but you don't have many friends either, do you?

I have my Pokemon. They're all I need.

They won't be with you forever.

Of course they will.

You know, sometimes life doesn't always go how you expect.

An even better reason to be in as much control of it as possible.

[Oh Silver...]

Control is an illusion. If things go your way, it's only because circumstances allowed them too. We're never really in control, no matter how much we pretend.

[He looks, distant, as though he's remembering something specifically.]

Not even the ringmaster can bring back the dead.

[Well. She can, but only sort of.]

[He's going to ignore the big truth nugget in favor of being picky on that other statement.]

... don't we have people here that are supposed to be dead?

People who are dead in their own worlds.

Tell me, does your world have ways of bringing back the deceased?

No.

[He's getting too emotional now, pushing too much. He takes a deep breath to stop himself.]

Sorry.

I didn't mean to get upset.

[The teen shrugs his shoulders, looking away.]

Doesn't bother me.

Even when my Pokemon die, I'll be able to befriend new ones. Not like there's any shortage of them.

I know that's not how you really feel.

Che. And how's that?

[He frowns, he doesn't really know, but he feels like it must not be true.]

Even if you got new ones, you'd still miss the ones you lost.

Right?

Didn't say I wouldn't. But you said I wouldn't always have Pokemon, not that I wouldn't always have the same Pokemon.

[You are impossible.]

I'm just saying, if you shut people out now you don't know what opportunities you could miss. Opportunities you might not be able to get back.

What I accomplish, I want to accomplish on my own. I don't want to rely on anyone else.

[He lowers his voice for the next part, shame clear in his tone.]

It was embarrassing enough during the vampire thing...

There's nothing wrong with relying on others, especially not if they want to help you.

You don't have anything to be ashamed about.

[Frick. He'd said too much.]

Hrn. You don't understand. This is important to me above everything else.

[He guesses he really doesn't understand...]

... Thank you for introducing yourself.
