『Yeeeeah~』 Orion idly swing his foot off the edge of his Metagross, practically pleased with the painful result of his pokemon's mega evolution. Metagross showed sheer indifference, while the Whismur seemed to chuckle beside his feet at the show that just occurred before him. You could practically hear him saying "Again again" in his echoing "whismur" cries. The dark child slipped off the edge of his pokemon, walking up beside the Gengar. It had spotted a wandering pokemon on the distance and begun to charge up a shadow ball in it's maw, the crackling energy of the attack circling the central sphere, but without even a twinge of a second thought, Niso grasped the back of the ghost type's head and pushed down, shutting it's maw and forcing the shadow ball to dissipate harmlessly.
『He's different alright~If Scizor didn't evolve so harmlessly I'd almost have thought this was natural, but no, he's my little dissobediant freak aren't ya?~』 The pokemon seemed much more responsive now, though perhaps not in the best way, turning around and licking up Niso's side, clearly a lot more accepting of the trainer, though from the transformation, likely not of his own free will at this point, Niso chuckling as he wiped the side of his face clean.
Shifting eyes back to Orion, he opened his mouth, planning to explain that Scizor transformed much like his manectric, but like Gengar both left a weakened sensation across his entire body the longer it went on, but, rather than that, his expression dropped as he spotted the cigarette.
『Really? Those things will kill you ya know.』

From the corner of his eye, Orion saw the target that the Gengar seemed to be aiming for, but he wouldn’t allow his head to turn to few it fully. That meant taking his eyes off the Gengar, and that just wasn’t going to happen. Watching as the Gengar licked Niso, Orion forced a small snort. That was… wow that was kinda gross and not even in the ‘you’re getting licked by something that is known to Paralyze by Lick’ even.
He paused, momentarily, at Niso’s words. Yellow eyes flicked down to the cigarette and then up again. “Probably,” he answered fishing the cigarette form his mouth and exhaling some smoke in the process. “But I picked it up too long ago to quit now.” That was only part of the truth. He had… actually tried to quit smoking numerous times for different reasons, and each and every time he found himself back there lighting one up. “Could be worse, could be weed…” he chuckled a little. “Doubt you know what that tastes like though.”

Niso's expression slowly dropped into one of frustrated dissapointment. Greeeat. His fan was a smoker, and a weed smoker no less from that phrasing. 『Can't say I do...』 Pulling out Gengar's pokeball he lightly wracked the back of the pokemon's head with it to activate the button, absorbing it back inside and pocketing the ball, arms folding over his chest and narrowing his eyes at the green haired man. 『Though...I like to think I'm not too naive. You say "could be worse" but I'm almost certain past a certain age weed is actually better than a cigarette』
He had in fact done zero research into this and, along with Sera at times, just liked to watch a show called adam ruins everything. There'd been a drug special he oddly enjoyed that explained beyond a certain point of development weed wasn't that harmful...then again he was probably locked at that stage forever himself...actually he also constantly healed so maybe.
『R-regardless』 He physically shook his head to dismiss the thought. 『Can't say I approve but, hey, chaos reigns, live your life!~』 He began to walk past the other trainer, metagross following behind with Whismur climbing atop it, Niso a fair few steps away making a clear motion to leave before turning on his heels, narrowing his eyes again as he asked.
『...Fancy a snack at my place?』 Probably a dumb offer but Orion had pretty much proved to his very low standads that he was not some interpol agent. Beyond that with Sera, Nik and MIA, he was sort of growing bored of the usual company...not Sera though. God no. Never bored of her. 『Not far from the wasteland edge. You'd be surprised how little people check the scene of the crime!~』

It was honestly too funny to Orion that such simple, personal things such as smoking could be so repulsive to Niso. The lord of chaos didn’t like a little smoke and ash? Hilarious. Though he did pause a moment at Niso’s assessment. “Is it?” he asked not very sure which was worse either in the short term or long term. “Maybe I’ll start smoking weed more instead.” he gave a small shrug of shoulders. At the end of the day, so long as it settled his nerves and gave him a fix, he could care less what he put in his body.
Can’t say I approve, but hey chaos reigns, live your life. Orion’s features twisted up a little before relaxing again. Not like I need approval from anyone, especially a kid. No, especially not when it didn’t matter how hard he worked, he’d never live up to anyone’s expectations anyway. Ain’t that right, Mom? Shifting a bit as Niso started walking, Orion made a small hand gesture to his own Pokemon before following.
…At least until Niso whipped around again. Hm? Orion’s features twisted up, and his eyebrow jumped quite a bit. A snack? What am I twelve? On second thought, actually seeing where Niso lived, or at least habituated to some degree could be vaguely interesting. Though he’d been spooked a couple of times now, Orion was still pretty self-confident. “Oh yeah? Bet your house is interesting~” he went on. Fishing out his Pokeball, he’d return Zappers, the Silvally, and even the Kadabra. “And of course snacks are always good.”
Following after Niso, Orion set his hands behind his head. The cigarette was starting to do its job, and he was feeling a bit lighter now. “So ya play videogames or anything?” he asked a bit more bemusedly.

Niso gave a big grin as his offer was accepted. A part of him wondered if he would regret it, but he payed it little heed, hands resting in his pockets and his metagross seemingly eager to get moving beside him. 『Oh I don't know about interesting persay, but it's a sight in it's own way!~』 He...didn't really know what he meant by that but seemed to roll with it nonetheless, climbing onto his metagross as it began to walk out of the wasteland. With as deep as they were it took a while for the grass to turn green again, but as it did, Niso's house was easy enough to point out, the only physical structure that could be clearly defined beyond a general sense of "civilization" in the far distance. 『Heeeeeere we are!~』 Hopping off Metagross, Niso pushed his front door open. It was pretty pointless locking it given he couldn't call the cops if anything was stolen. Nah. He'd just get Marcie to figure out who did it and deal with them personally. Besides that it was a little too far out for anyone to bother coming here to rob him. 『Oh er...one sec!~』 Holding up a finger he opened the door and slipped inside, slamming it behind him. Bruce growled from his little den halfway up the stairs, glaring out of a hole he'd dug in the wall at Niso for interrupting his nap. 『Hey Brucie boy. Sera here today?』 She'd been staying over a lot more lately...a LOT more, not that Niso really noticed, but thankfully she seemed to be away today. Bruce had a loud yawn and was snuggling back down for his nap as Niso opened his door and guided Niso in. The home was fairly sizeable from the outside and didn't seem too cramped inside. 『Welcome to me-casa! Living room is that-a-way!~』 Niso specifically placed his body in such a way Orion would practically be funnelled to the livingroom door he was pointing at, not wanting Orion to get into his "den" room, Basement, and especially didn't want him going upstairs and seeing his or Sera's room, narrowing his eyes at the guest till he went were he was directed and following behind with a sudden smile. The livingroom was...fairly... Seussical. Furniture was usable but oddly shaped. Eccentric was a fair term in it's own right but if someone drew the room it'd easily look like it belonged in one of those childrens' books, technology like the TV and speakers the only things not fitting the looney aesthetic.
『Sooooooooooooooooo. Little mister fan-man. Whatcha think of the chaos lords digz? Pretty cool eh?~』

A sight in its own way? Orion’s brow quirked a little, but he kept a smile for now. “I’ll have to see~” he mused a bit. They walked for some time, and occasionally Pokemon seemed to come and go. Since they weren’t hunting, though, Orion let them be. When he saw the building, however, Orion was… legitimately surprised he would live so close to a clear death crime scene but… but no this was the child who embraced entropy so.. it totally made sense.
He’d been about to follow Niso in, but on being told to wait, Orion set both hands in his pockets and shifted his weight some. “Alright.” Yellow eyes flicked around taking in what he guesed was kind of earthy cabin kind of thing before Niso came back and Orion formally stepped in. Almost immediately Orion’s gaze was bouncing around. He walked in the general direction Niso guided, but hit was clear his interests and gaze was everywhere and nowhere all at once. On getting to the living room, however, Orion stopped.
This feels like my head… From the odd shaped furniture to the tables and electronics. It was so jarring and yet not at all for some reason. Slowly, he found himself circling the area, taking it in from multiple angles all at once. “How many IKEA mind slaves did you round up to make this?” he laughed looking back at Niso with a wry grin. “Unfortunately my place isn’t so homey.” Was he really going to use the word homey here? In an apartment that was mostly self-furnished? Apparently.

Niso snickered quickly at the mention of Ikea slaves, almost happy to see that his choice in decoration got such a fun reaction, rubbing his hands together and heading towards the back, if Orion stood at the right angle he could see an un-divided kitchen just around the corner Niso was heading to. 『Oh no slaves at all. I tried to build one or two myself but then I just got maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarceline...』 He'd started to speak her name, realizing Marceline really didn't want that but...while he oddly didn't trust Sera to know her name, let alone Nik, Orion seemed "bad" enough not to spill any beans on the matter. Plus, it was just a name, he'd need to know WHICH marceline and-
Okay, really, he didn't think about it this much. He just tried to think up a different name before realizing he did not care to bother once he'd already slipped up enough to start.
『She just payed for it to be built on delivery with my money. All I had to do was let my ditto answer the door...it was a bit awkward for the builders, dealing with a mute that stared into their souls, but eh, I have cool furniture now, I can't complain!~』 He yanked open the fridge, sliding along the smooth floor with the momentum of the door, pulling out a carton of milk and drinking from the source as he leaned around the corner. 『You want anything? I don't have any alcohol but...』

The cigarette that had since died out on the walk there would have made a comical drop at Niso’s words had Orion still been smoking it. Marceline?! Of… Well of course but? But? No way right? How many Marcelines were there? Let alone ones involved in the Verian underbelly? Orion’s brow quirked high, but he didn’t say anything just yet.
Bought, paid for, and delivered with Niso’s own money. Orion was chuckling now. That sounds like her regardless. Small world, right? More like small region, really. Yellow eyes flicked back to Niso as he was acknowledge again, however. No alcohol? That was almost a shae, but he did feel vaguely pleased the sentiment of it was offered. It was… probably not a good idea to drink alcohol around this kid anyways. “You got any soda?” he asked with a small chuckle and a shrug. “Otherwise I’ll take anything…”
Yellow eyes traced around the furniture again. “So do you do anything specific for Ms. Labele in exchange or?” Slyish, using her surname and also asking another semi-detailed question all in one.

『Soda is totally an option!』 He called back, yanking a fizzy bottle out of the fridge quickly enough to probably fizz it up, even more so as he tossed it into the air and caught it. It was a 2 litre bottle but he peeked around the corner and tossed it towards Orion, Diet coke. 『I've got other ones or cups if you need 'em. Drink from the bottle as far as i care though. Never really got the whole germs thing, even when i did have to worry about them.』
Shrugging casually as he walked back in after a moment, he was holding the milk carton still and a magnum ice lollie, falling back into the couch with only one arm and taking a bite out of the frozen chocolatey treat, glancing up to his guest, a little oblivious to the reaction Marceline's name had truly gotten. 『Can't say I do...I stay out of her way, and she buys my stuff so I don't get caught...I THINK she takes an extra 5 percent or something? Can't really remember. We made the deal months ago.』

Orion… should have been surprised to be catching an actual liter bottle of Diet Coke, but here he was blinking a couple of times and turning it around in his hands anyways. A small smirk of sorts crept on his features as he shifted around and opened the top, taking a quick sip. When it didn’t immediately taste like backwash, however, he shrugged his shoulders. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” he replied with a small laugh at that. Really, though, the phrase should have been ‘what doesn’t kill you pisses you off enough to hunt it down and kill it instead’ but same difference, right?
I stay out of her way and she buys me stuff so I don’t get caught… Orion smirked a little at that. Well, if anyone’s good at a cover~ Orion took another sip from the liter bottle. “Months ago during the ah… what’re they calling that event— Caravellian Gala or whatever?” he asked taking another sip. “I’ve heard it was a bit shindig..” he snorted briefly. “Too bad I wasn’t there for it. It would have been great.” No, not with Nik there but… he could lie a little here and there.

『During, a little before, a little after. Who's to say? Probably whoever keeps her books but thats for her to know and for me to not care about』 Continuing to drink his milk from the carton he leaned back a little into his couch, an arm draped over the back as he actually tried to think about when it was, only really managing to register the deal that was made and the fact he was heavily wanted at the time...it may have been after the Gala? Yeah. That was when people had clearer pictures of his face to work with, and when he needed to be careful about where he settled down.
The scene of the crime. Heh. No one would look for him there!
『It was a pretty fun shindig though!~ My pal Dorian let off some steam, Marcie got to hold a shard of glass to that douche Alexander's throat, and I met my girlfriend!~ It was a wonderful evening!~』

PFFFFTTT. Orion chuckled softly. Niso could care less, eh Well, that was fine with Orion. Taking another gulp of soda, he as aware of a hazy sort of taste to it and couldn’t readily tell if it was his shit sense of taste acting up or what. Eh, whatever it was still decent. – Girlfriend? Orion about spit his drink. Sure, he’d been paying attention to what Niso had been saying up to that point, but all of that sounded very….Nsio-related. Dorian was… the hat toblerone guy or something right? (Or was he mixing that up with some anime he’d been watching eheh). Marceline was now obvious, and Alexander was the guy whose shindig it was but— Girlfriend?
Are you really that surprised? If his own experiences were really the baseline of his understanding then no he shouldn’t have been at all surprised. He had a boyfriend, after all— a boyfriend he’d intended to kill up until actually meeting him again so there was that too. Orion smirked a bit and hummed softly. “What’s your girlfriend like?” he asked with a chuckle.

Tipping his head back a little to get the last of the milk out of the carton, Niso idly tossed it in a random direction, the trash can it had landed next to suddenly melting around the carton to reveal a shiny Ditto with a rather pleased face as it tried to slowly digest the cardboard it had wrapped itself around, Niso's eyes shifting back to his guests...shock? Maybe? Ugh. He needed to get better at this. At least with Sera her emotions were...well they weren't "consistant" but "recognizeable" was at least the case now. He tapped hs chin for a moment...should he really talk about her...especially with a fan even? He...seemed safe enough...he was a smoker though...partook of the pot no less... Eh...he'd already let slip where they met. Anyone worth their salt could probably take a very clear guess as to who she was. Nevertheless, he'd avoid names, a soft look overtaking his face the moment he dedicated himself to talking about her, arms draped along the back of the couch, one leg crossing over the other.
『She is, in a word, absolute perfection!~』 Yes that was two words, shut up. 『Now that isn't to say she's flawless, but...I don't know how these things normally go, but have you ever met someone who just makes you feel clear headed? I'd hazard a guess not everyone's head feels as stormy as mine, but when I'm around her, she is so sweet, and kind, and fun and playful and energetic that my brain just....soooooothes out. I feel calmer around her than I did just after obtaining immortality.』
He began to lean forward from the couch, gesturing a little with his hands, not in any particular motion, just emphasizing his words with general sways of his hands, smiling brightly as he continued to talk about his amazing girlfriend. 『She's not always happy but-』 He took a second, almost considering how to word this 『Even when she's upset I have this...immense desire to make her feel...not 'better' but comfortable. I used to want to fix her. Make her smile, but that's not right all the time. Sometimes she just needs someone to hold her and cuddle up to, and even if I can't do anything for her she is so loving and appreciative that for hours at a time I can just...stand the world. I can suffer through any sense of dumb order or peaceful quiet just to watch her calm, cute face as she closes her eyes and takes a nap against me, just knowing this one perfect thing in my life feels safe against someone as dangerous as me』
『I mean, let's face it, I'm pretty dangerous.』He realized a little belatedly he hadn't actually said much about Sera individually but perhaps that was for the best. Whenever he thought about Sera he tended to think less about what she did and more how she made him feel. How he could just feel calm around her, clear headed...how she helped him feel safe too when battling one of his more intense fears and repulsions...how she still made him feel safe to an almost alarming degree when he thought back on those moments. Letting out a long sigh, he crossed his arms, lifting his head, speaking with a sense of pride.
『Everything about her is just amazing. She's a lot...safer, than I am, she follows rules where I wouldn't but she still has this sense of fun around here most people don't. She isn't some loon that just delights in misery like my friend Dorian...she likes to see people happy even when she pushes limits or goes off the beaten track a little.』Niso kicked himself up to his feet by pushing off the couch, just pacing a little around the coffee table as he really started to go off on one.
『She cares about people in ways i can't even fathom but she can get jealous and upset too and she's not flawless but the flaws she have make me feel like I love her all the more, and I love her so much already!~ She can get jealous or petty or not know what she's feeling and each and everytime I just want to hug her tighter because no matter what she does she's still herself and sometimes I just wanna make her believe that she is this perfect little bundle of everything good in the world and is the one thing I would never change in a million years living on this little rock in space!』
Without much thought he leapt up onto the coffee table and held out his arms.
『My girlfriend is just the BEST. Period. She could share her love with everyone but she decides to call me her boyfriend and the moment she said that for the first time ever I felt my heart truly race with excitement. Not the satisfaction of gaining my eternal life but true, genuine excitement that I craved back in Unova! She made me feel like I'm actually alive rather than just living!』
Realizing his situation, declaring all his joy for Sera's mere existance atop his coffee table, he snicked and lowered his head, giggling away into his palm before stretching his arms right back out again, looking right down at his guest in his chair. 『What can I say?~ She is my girlfriend!~ She's so good and kind and sweet and pure, and if all she ever really wants from me is to not kill someone, I will never shed a drop of blood. Not now, not in a million years when she-』He stopped dead, his arms lowering with a more nervous, sad chuckle.
『...well. Yeah.』 He had went from happy to depressed, to a numb "playing it cool" as he straightened his back and rubbed his neck, still standing on the table though. 『Suffice to say, I'm always going to keep my promise to her...even if she isn't around to see me keeping it』He let out a long, blissful sigh and smiled again.
『She's more than my girlfriend. She is the girl I love with every beat of my black heart.』

Well, today had been pretty dull. She'd made a little progress on one of her routine moves, and that was fun enough, but the more they worked on it the more she decided she wasn't really feeling this latest song after all. So a lot of time had been spent just letting the Pokemon play in the fields while she went through playlists, ultimately coming away kind of frustrated at not finding anything quite Right.
Well, Niso always helped her feel better when she was bluh. She wasn't sure if he'd be home just now, but if not, she could play some games or maybe do a bit more song searching once she got some food and settled in comfortably. ...If he was, she thought it sounded fun to try to surprise him, so she made sure to recall all her Pokemon outside and slip in very quietly.
Once she stepped in the foyer, she immediately heard a bit of Niso's voice. ...suffer through ... order or peaceful quiet ... watch her calm, cute face as... Hm?? Who was he talking to.. and was he talking about her?
She tiptoed over and pressed her back against the wall next to the doorway to eavesdrop right around this one perfect thing in my life.
She listened in, her heart swelling and her eyes slowly watering, unable to stop beaming at her precious boyfriend being such a lovestruck goof.
She made me feel like I'm actually alive rather than just living!
Oh. Oh wow oh no her heart, her tears, oh... Oh this was starting to get kind of overwhelming, actually... and then took a dive in mood even as it escalated even more sharply in the strength of her feels.
Suffice to say, I'm always going to keep my promise to her...even if she isn't around to see me keeping it.
Niso. Oh, oh Niso, she-- She never liked thinking about any part of that but hearing this was-- She-- she couldn't even... She had to press a hand to her mouth to remain quiet.
She's more than my girlfriend. She is the girl I love with every beat of my black heart.
She was only able to hold herself back a few more seconds before her sobs became too much to silence, a small whimper escaping her when they finally broke through.
In a fluid motion, she pushed herself off the wall and spun around to enter the room at an almost jogging pace. She had only a second to scan and realize where he was, and on a small background level realized: a) that they had a guest she didn't recognize, and b) that his position on the table made her impulse a little harder to see through.. but she was determined. Especially as part of her realized he'd been dancing on a table the first time she saw him, too, oh, oh no her heart, that sparked a few extra hard tears.
Without stopping, she stepped up on the table with him, wrapped her arms around him, and let her momentum carry them both to land less than comfortably on the couch near their guest. Burying her face against him and squeezing tight, she squeaked, "I LOVE YOU."

Absolute perfection. Orion’s brow quirked a little, but he didn’t say anything. He was listening, searching, trying to figure out what quality made this supposed girl perfect. Someone who just makes you feel clear headed.. Heh. Yeah. The more Niso described, however, the more Orion was… vaguely…. Huh what was this feeling? He couldn’t… quite process it, and while some part of him argued it was jealousy the other part had a giant #RELATABLE at certain intervals so???
Yellow eyes flickered, watching Niso get up and move. Some part of that stepping put him on edge. The other part recognized almost nervous energy type reactions. The one thing I would never change in a million years… Niso really could live a million years to boot huh. Heh… Alive rather than living. Oh. Oh fuck him. Color had jumped to Orion’s features as different but #RELATED thoughts came in droves. W-well damn wasn’t this the warm and fuzzies? No killing either huh… Huh…
Still, the reflection on loss had even Orion cooling again. And yet, the way he chose to finish that state—
Woah what the fuck???
HOLY FUCK?
Where had this girl come from? What was going on? Suddenly having two bodies crashing onto the couch near him had Orion squirming a bit out of the seat he’d kind of been resting against-ish.
I love you!
Oh.
It was the girlfriend.
If.
You know.
He had to take a guess.
Pushing up his glasses, Orion chuckled dryly. “Perfect timing..” he all but mumbled.
