YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah made her way down the lighted streets of Carrefor towards her apartment from the train station. It had been a long day full of new information and new faces and though her body hadn’t been put to physical exertion she was still mentally drained from the bustle of the day. The commute was enough to help her unwind and she walked with her bag over her shoulders and musice in her ears. Chance walked beside her at attention, the Growlithe had a grizzled look to him which showed his age. He had not been interested in evolving back in Orre so at 15 he was a relatively large Growlithe. He had been becoming more restless lately though and she figured it was about time to aquire a fire stone and present it to him. She mused that it was due to her new job at Interpol, and like her, he wanted to advance into the next stage of life with her. She smiled softly to herself stopping to rustle the top of his head. He whimpered affectionately and bounced up onto her leg, his tongue working eagerly at his jowls as if he was expecting a treat. She laughed, loudly this time and spied a corner store. She made her way over to it and seeing other pokemon out with their owners she meandered in with Chance to grab a couple of items. She grabbed a couple of sodas, some jerkey for Chance, and some watermelon bubble gum for Malik. The bubble gum had become a habit of her’s for years and whenever she spied something that she knew Malik liked she always made a point to grab it. If he was in one of his reserved temperments she hoped this would draw him out some when she got home. She was going to have to get used to the long hours work would put her through and add onto it the commute it would make her time around Malik sparse. She knew he was quite capable of handling himself; however she worried. New place, new routines, new everything was sure to wear on him and she wasn’t able to be there to help if it became overwhelming. It would all be alright though. It was going to be a good life for them. He had school to keep him occupied and she had work to ensure he was able to pursue school. She cracked open the jerkey as she made cleared the rest of the distance to their appartment and slipped Chance a few pieces before she unlocked the door to a dark entryway and a quiet apartment. “I’m home,” she called out in warning. She hefted her heavy bag onto the floor, slipping the eager Chance another piece of jerkey, before she sat down on the sofa with a heavy sigh. Cracking open her soda to enjoy the indulgence. She sat there in the dark for a while with Chance snuffling about the floor looking for his food bowl. She would wait for Malik before doing too much else. MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS

MY ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR ME AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL BE MORE LOUD ☼ Malik had been so hard at work with concepts for his start in 3-D modeling that he hadn't even noticed how much time had passed. He was still bent over the thick sketch pad, dark fingers coated in graphite from light smear works and from the general contact with the woodless pencil. Sahara's larger form was curled up between his feet, napping under the blanket he had pulled from his bed to lay over his lap.
If it hadn't been for the clicking sound of the analog clock in his room and the scratching of a pencil, the silence would've been deafening. It's thanks to that silence though that he had heard the door opening, Sarah calling out that she was home and the familiar sounds of Chance's paws on the floor. Both he and Sahara stood up at the same time to poke their heads from the bedroom door, looking through the darkness to spot the woman on the sofa.
After a moment, he came out of his room and click on the lights. He had been so focused on doing as the teacher said and getting the concept at least started that he had failed to really bother getting dressed that morning. He still walked around in worn, but still comfy pajama pants as he made his way to the sink to wipe off some of the excess graphite, only wetting it to help remove it where he wouldn't smear anything else but the spot around the light switch.
"How did it go?" He asked softly, making his way over to the opposite side of the sofa, walking on his toes to moves as silently as possible before sitting down, watching Sahara stretch out and head to her own food bowl. Right, they had been in his room all day. Whoops. Well, she knew how to open the door, she was tall enough now to do so, so she could've easily gotten up to do something other than guard him.

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah blinked a couple of times as Malik switched on the light and she grinned brightly obscuring the tired in her face “Hey Mimi,” she said shifting to ruffle his pale blonde hair and affectionately place a kiss on his head. “You’ve been hard at work I see,” she stated noting the graphite smudges as well as the pj bottoms. He wasn’t one to lay about when there was work to do, she deduced he had probably been busy at his project all day given the pristine state of the apartment from when she left this morning. “It went good,” she said taking a bite out of some jerky and then reached over to the corner store bag pulling out the water melon bubble gum and tossed it lightly over to him “think fast!” she teased lightly sitting back as Chance jumped up into her lap trying to nap the jerky out of her mouth. “No Chance! Down!” she said pushing him off of her. Chance sat down with a soft grumbling “hmph” for a dog and stared at her with wide eyes hoping she would conceed. She didn’t. She never rewarded begging no matter how long they had been together. “Met the chief and some of the other officer’s today, learned a lot of the off-beat tedious tasks of manning a desk. Haven’t shadowed an officer on the street yet…that should be tomorrow” She kept the information brief to not overload him, eventually he would learn about almost every detail of her new job but it didn’t have to be all at once. She rubbed her face and looked at the clock on the entertainment center it read 9:08pm. “Have you eaten yet?” she said looking over at him. It still amazed her at how much he grew since they moved, it seemed like yesterday he was still short enough she could look down on him and ruffle his hair. Now she needed to reach up if she wanted to do that while they were both standing side by side. Her heart swelled with pride at the young man he was becoming. Give him enough time to acclimate and he would flourish here in Carrfor thanks to the school and a fresh new place. MalikMADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS

MY ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR ME AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL BE MORE LOUD ☼ He let her ruffle his hair, thankful that she understood that he didn't like prolonged physical contact in most cases. Reaching up, he ran his fingers through his hair in a make shift comb to try and get it sort of tamed, but it didn't work. The not so soft hair just put itself right back into a pile of cowlicks and twisted mess. He made a gesture with his hand, holding two fingers close together to indicate that yea, he'd been busy just a little bit.
So much so that he hadn't gotten dressed. He gave her a short nod in response to his question, a hand coming up quickly to catch the gum she had tossed his way. Without so much as another word, he took a piece out and shoved it into his mouth before neatly folding the package closed and stuffing it into his pocket. As she argued with Chance and began to speak about work, he reclined just a little more in the couch, lazy posture taking hold while he resisted the temptation to kick his feet up on the coffee table. "Good."
It meant that he was probably going to be alone all day tomorrow but he was ok with that. The silence only bothered him when he had idle hands and nothing to do. Looking over at her when she asked if he ate, he continued chewing slowly with his mouth closed, seeming to think. "I ate a little bit of breakfast." No point in lying to her, she could always just get up and check if he said he did eat. And he did... just.. not much.

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ She nodded understandingly at his answer, honestly, she wasn’t too surprised. He usually got swept away when he was working and would forget to eat unless she was there to draw him out long enough to eat what she put in front of him. He probably hadn’t caught how late it was either. “Well then,” she said standing up and stretching “let me go change real quick and I’ll get some hamburger’s cooking.” She was glad she had the forethought to pull out some of the frozen meat this morning as she ran out the door, now she wouldn’t have to order in or drag him out of the apartment. Stepping over the sulking Chance, Sarah crossed to the opposite side of the living room and inter her room closing the door. She changed out of her commute clothes and into a pair of workout shorts and a tank top greatly relieved to take the damn wired sports bra off and replace it with one of her wireless ones. She hung up her pokeball belt making a mental note to take Bjorn and Ivy out later for a walk. She knew Deanne would not be interested in that at all and perfectly content to laze about in her ball. About six minutes later she came back out of her room, much more relaxed, and went into the kitchen to begin dinner. “So, tell me about yer project for school,” she said peering at him from across the breakfast bar. She loved the open/split floor plan of the apartment. They each had their own end, with the bathroom across from Malik’s room and the kitchen was situated beside the door and opened into the living room which then faced a sliding glass door into the little back yard. She could see Saguaro faintly in the light of the porch light chilling out with the other cacti. She began to mix breadcrumbs, and egg, and seasoning into the hamburger meat and mold it into individual patties. She would be able to make six which would leave plenty for dinner and left overs for tomorrow if he remembered. MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS NOTES: Let's cook some grub then|TAGS: Malik

MY ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR ME AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL BE MORE LOUD ☼ While she went to go change, Malik took free reign over the couch and laid out on it, staring out the glass door to spot his Maractus hanging out with the other plantlife, occasionally shifting and shaking his arms. Dancing, Malik had found out. Maractus loved to dance and make their own music, occasionally he found that Saguaro had wandered a little ways away to go meet up with another group of his own kind to shake a rhythm with. He decided to leave them alone and he figured out the times they would go meet up if they wound up doing so.
Sahara on the other hand, was sitting at her own bowl, munching quietly as she ignored the sulking Growlithe not too far from her. With a short snuffle and squeak, she stood on her hind legs to come over to Malik, her large water bowl in her mouth. Taking it, he got up and walked into the kitchen next to Sarah, turning on the water. It... was so strange to have plumbing that wasn't as restricted as Orre was. "Professor has us working on concepts before we start modeling." He answered, shutting off the water and moving to place the bowl down for the Nidorina.
It was common sense to have a concept well thought out before you went and started trying to make something. His programming courses were very much different than this one, he had a feeling that modeling would take up a lot of his home time and he... really didn't have a problem with that in any form or manner. He enjoyed staying occupied.
Moving to the glass door, he pulled it open, not minding the deep chill of the dusty night here. It was nothing compared to a real desert, but it was still cold. Using his barefoot, he kicked a rock off of the porch and called Saguaro over with a small wave of his hand. As the cactus bounced up to him, careful not to touch his bare chest, he relaxed with Malik as he lit a small fire in a metal pot outside.
After a few minutes, he put on a pair of thick gloves, pat the small fire out and put the rocks in a small circle under the dust so Saguaro could root down a little more comfortably and a little closer to the apartment.
Walking back inside, he shook off the slight chill and looked to Sarah, eyebrows raised from their usual bored expression. "Gonna evolve Chance some day?" He asked mostly because she was interpol... and well, Chance could only do so much at that size. He seemed to know a good bit of powerful moves that he could only learn as a Growlithe, so Malik had always thought he was more than ready for quite a while should they ever decide to finally pull it off.

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah was just about done finishing up the meal when Malik came back in; she flipped the last burger and let it sit for a moment before pulling it off the pan. It wasn’t grilled but it would still be reminiscent of the summer months. Nothing like a quick and tasty dinner. She nodded to Malik’s question “dinner’s ready so come fix up your burger” she stated grabbing her finished burger and sat down at the bar. “Yeah, I think he’s finally getting to the point where he wants to evolve. I just have to go get him a stone next” she mused taking a bit out of her burger. “I need to sit down with Ivy too and see if she wants to use the leaf stone I got layin’ around…Bjorn needs some work…” she started to talk to herself a little as her day began to catch up with her. Coming out of her musings she perked up looking at Sahara as she muddled around the apartment. If the Nidorina came nearby she’d scratch her affectionately at the base of her ears which would result in a deeper pout from Chance. Chance always beleaguered his displeasure when he didn’t get what he wanted, but she didn’t acknowledge it too much content to let him sort out his own problems. Eventually he would resume his usual cheerful self and go back to begging for treats. It was a habit she could not break him of. Well, as long as he didn’t do it when they were on the clock she wouldn’t mind too much. “So, what are some of your concepts?” she questioned with interest. MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS

MY ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR ME AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL BE MORE LOUD ☼ Well that was good timing, he was running out of things to occupy his hands with. When she told him to come fix up his burger, he did in the usual manner. It wasn't anything too complicated, so as he finished fixing up his burger, he stuck his gum to the paper plate and sat down. The gum thing was an old habit, nothing different of what he'd usually do.
He listened to her talk about her Pokemon as he took a slow bite, eyebrows furrowing at the word leaf stone for a moment. "Do you mean Mossy rock?" He corrected gently, it had been a long day for her more than likely, much longer than his. He hadn't gone out adventuring at all today, and had spent all of it cooped up in his room, focused on his sketch pad as per the usual.
She asked about his concepts and he furrowed his brows again, his face finally falling back into it's usual, deadpan expression as he finished chewing another bite. He wasn't completely sure about it yet, but he supposes that's why she asked what some of them were, rather than what it was. "Isolated Beartic looking for her cubs or stranded deep underwater with biological experiments." He, despite being startled easy by people sneaking up on him in the real world, didn't have a problem at all with the horror genre.
He was looking for something along the lines of adventure mixed with threats of the normal variety and psychological horror. Or mixed with extreme threats and psychological horror. The worry of finding your cub or the worry of getting out alive. Either or, but for now, he was just sketching out some stuff until he figured out what he really wanted to do. "We have some time before he expects us to be ready."

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Yeah…that one,” she stated flatly Leaf Stone…Mossy Rock…what was the difference? The majority of the other rocks where Fire Stone, Water Stone…so on and so forth. Why did they have to change it up and go with Mossy Rocks? At least he compensated for her lapse of memory at times. She was smart but not book smart like he was. Sarah listened to Malik while staring at the back of the kitchen mulling over the concepts he was presenting. Both sounded quite interesting; his knack for design and storytelling always had a way of drawing her in. Considering she was not as gifted in the story development area or even words for that matter. She had gone through some schooling having obtained her high school diploma; but she never went further with education finding that she did not have the knack with books and it was more important for her to work than anything. That’s why she eventually applied herself to the police academy and then into Interpol’s training. She was better dealing with people than she was reading about them. Plus she would get restless sitting still for so long the way Malik did. The thought of it made her legs prickle and she began to bounce her right leg lightly. “Those both sound like they have promise…maybe merge the two together in a way. Have a Beatric looking for her cubs that have been trapped deep underwater and then add in the extreme conditions…erm maybe the cubs just wandered off uuuhhh…” she tapered off as her suggestion sounded less and less appealing. She stretched herself over the counter grabbing at a tomato slice and then started nibbling on it. She swirled the chair so she was facing him and she hooked her feet on the rungs of his chair to keep her leg from bouncing. It was an idle habit of hers and she knew it bothered him sometimes. “What else ya got goin’ on in school?” she asked before taking another bite.

MY ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR ME AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL BE MORE LOUD ☼ Wh... what was she going on about? He followed what she was sayin, yes, but why would.. how would... how would a beartic lose her cubs underwater? He stared at her for a moment, listening but... obviously lost. After she tapered off, he blinked a few times as he continued chewing slowly.
He never could understand the whys, exactly, behind the fact that his sister could never sit still. Where as long as he had something to do with hands or mind, he could sit, unmoving, in the same place all day. Where he may fidget or shift his legs, he was still like a stone for the most part, eyes locked and concentrated on a book that had his interest, if it was anything else though, he could easily become restless.
Sitting on a couch and talking bothered him, even now he was rotating the paper plate with his free hand as a way to occupy his self a little more. Eating wasn't enough to make him feel occupied. His eyes snapped back in her direction when she asked another question, blinking, he looked back down at the table. "Learning programming language."
That wasn't a response most people were happy with, but Malik was far from a social butterfly. Couple it with the time and that he had spent all day cracking down over paper and you had a recipe for him to be more on the silent side. He tried to clip his responses inbetween bites, finally finishing the burger and turning his head to look outside. NOTES: notes ☼ TAGS:@tag

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah nodded mildly relieved that he didn’t expound in greater detail. She loved listening to him when he did go on one of his rare talkative tangents but it was so hard for her to follow sometimes. Tonight, was not a good night for her to go down the rabbit hole since the exhaustion of the day was catching up with her. She finished the tomato slice before standing up and walking around into the kitchen to start the cleanup. “I’ve got the kitchen if you want to go back to your model,” she said looking at him from over the sink on the other side of the bar. “After I finish up here I am goin’ to take the team for a stretch out back.”MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS

MY ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR ME AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL BE MORE LOUD ☼ Malik shook his head as he finished his drink and put the piece of gum back in his mouth. He'd been hard at work all day on that thing and he needed to think about how his larger Pokemon felt. "Gonna go out and train." He spoke simply, standing up, throwing the paper plate away, washing his hands and pushing his chair in.
The desert night was dangerous to most, but to Malik, it was just the dark version of an environment he thrived in. But he at least had the intelligence to grab his jacket as he made his way to the door from where he had gone to his room to grab his belt. Dragging and strapping his sandals lazily and let out a puff of air. He'd need to head to bed soon, but Thar could become restless if he didn't get to stomp around just a little bit.
Stepping outside, they went past the boundaries of their yard and out into the dusty wilderness just enough for Thar being out and moving around to not worry the town any. His dark figure, jacket, pajamas and everything else made him difficult to spot in the night, but he didn't mind, he just kept an ear open for his sister and he threw out his Aggron.
Glancing towards Carrefor, he looked and noted that a good bit of lights were still on, so he wouldn't be disturbing anyone too much by letting his Aggron walk around with the rest of his Pokemon. NOTES: IDK what to do, a battle with Thar would be loud AF ☼ TAGS: Sarah Hawk

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ “Alright,” Sarah said to him as he walked outside. She finished up the dishes quickly and put the food away. She found herself musing through the happenings of the last few days and the whirlwind that she was in. New job, getting all the paperwork in. She met a guy at a bar; turned out that he shared the desk directly next to her. She let out a groan as she stood over the sink. It would all be fine, what interest had sparked the night before would die down eventually and wouldn’t cause her so much flusterment at work. At least that’s what she told herself. She stood up and whistled calling chance to herself. He came bounding up quickly and she grabbed her pokeball belt heading outside. She let Bjorn, Ivy, Hope, and Deanne out of their balls. Deanna just plopped herself down at Sarah’s feet while Hope tried to pull at Sarah’s leg to get her to pick her up. Meanwhile Ivy, Chance and Bjorn took a turn about the little yard.

MY ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR ME AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL BE MORE LOUD ☼ Malik stood stock still, bare feet finally warming the cooled stone underneath them as he watched Thar stretch his back while Sahara seemed to have discovered the now would be the best time to use her moon stone. So now, instead of standing alone, a Nidoqueen stood in silence next to the young master, shoulders relaxed and arms resting by her sides.
Her longer tail was new to her though, and any attempts to move and try to figure out the new length of the appendage was clumsy. Eventually, she let it crash to a neutral position behind her, not wanting to upset Malik with excessive movement.
The sounds of the Pokemon running around in the yard behind him had him turning around though, eyebrows furrowed as he watched them have run of the yard. Thar didn't pay them any mind though as he continued to roam a little further out into the desert with ease, careful not to swing his tail and strike the duo standing on the large rock as he turned about to walk away.

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah stretched herself out taking a seat on one of the rock walls that came out around the back patio as Hope clambered up into her lap and snuggled in. Deanne loafed around the outskirts of the patio and into the dusty yard and came across Saguaro, who was nestled into their pile of warm rocks and sand. Deanne investigated thinking the flowers looked like food and reached out to grab at them “No Deanna!” Sarah reprimanded and pulled out the bag of jerky she had wadded up in her back pocket holding it out to the munchlax. Deanna was fortunate that Sarah had been vigilant and avoided getting prickled by the Maractus. Upon smelling and seeing the jerky she shuffled over to Sarah and grabbed the offered food, shoving it into her mouth. “I fed you sufficiently earlier today,” Sarah chided gently ruffling Deanne’s head, the little Munchlax plopped down in the sand and ruffled in its fur, finding a stash of hay it had hoarded earlier. She looked up in Malik’s direction to see that Sahara had used her moonstone and she smiled with pride. Malik was growing and so was his team; he would do well in life, she was hopeful of that. This reassured her that her efforts had not been in vain to provide him with as stable of an environment as possible. She relaxed her head back against a stone and looked at her watch, it was almost 11pm. She yawned and rustled her hand on Hope’s arm. Sarah began to nod off after a few moments while the sound of the three dogs began to die down in their exhaustion of play. MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS NOTES:|TAGS: Malik |WORD COUNT:
