Day 35 [Action; Open to Namine and Xion; Otherwise Closed]

[It's a normal day at Minnie's house in Olivine City. Roxas has just finished cleaning the kitchen, so he's hanging out on his bunk with Sparky, sort of listening to the radio, sort of reading a map. He's trying to plan out the next stage of his journey, as he's starting to feel the need to travel again. At least, before it snows or something like that. There's still two more badges to get after all.]

[There's a pitter patter of feet and Star the Piplup jumps right next to where Roxas is, trying to peek at what he's doing. This is followed by a heavier set of footsteps as Namine seems to be chasing her pokemon all over the house.]

There you are. Don't bother Roxas, he might be busy.

[The Piplup protests and Namine goes over.]

[ Xion's walking back inside the house after her morning training (as laid out by Lightning before she left) and after registering for the Johto Battle Tournament she was hearing about. She spots Namine and her Piplup, then Roxas and Sparky, and feels a bit excited to tell them about the news.

But first. ]

Morning, Roxas and Sparky. Morning, Namine and Piplup.

[Roxas sits up from where he was sort of flopped. He doesn't mind the piplup, and Sparky will hop over him to see his friend.]

I wasn't really doing anything, it's fine.

What's up, Xion?

[Namine sits right next to him, taking both pokemon in her arms and into her lap, coaxing the Piplup to calm down with a biscuit and giving Sparky one too.]

Hello, Xion. ... you seem excited about something.

[ She's surprised both of them could tell so easily... but it's probably showing on her face, regardless. ]

You heard about that battle tournament they're holding, right? [ Going to give a nod. ] I signed up for it.

You did? That's the one in Goldenrod, right?

... I didn't know there was one. I suppose that's why you look so cheerful today.

Right. [ To both. She stretches on her tip toes for a bit. ] Oh, but... If that's alright with you two.

Yeah, sure. I mean, I was hoping to head to Cinnabar Island soon, but we can detour to Goldenrod.

It's fine by me too. If this is something you really want to do, why not go for it?

[ She smiles at them both, almost practically grinning at them, too, for their approval. ]

I just thought I'd try my hand, you know. And it's really been a while... I probably won't win, but I'll give it a shot?

Yeah give it a shot. But, Xion, you shouldn't go in thinking you're going to lose.

You have to play to win.

Mm! We'll be cheering for you all the way.

[ Annnd... now she's blinking at them both for their answers. ]

Play to win, huh? Hm, that means I'll have to prepare and train a lot before then.

Yeah. I can help, if you want.

How long before the competition? Hopefully you have enough time for it, and we'll have to go back to Goldenrod too.

I think I remember it says the tournament starts around the beginning of October. They'll provide transfer if we need it.

[ She turns to Roxas. ]

I'd like that.

That's good. I don't think Fearow can carry all of us.

Sure. When did you want to start?

Alright. If there's anything I can do to help though, I'd be glad to help.

[With that answer, she's satisfied, and she lapses into thoughtful silence as she lets the two of them discuss it, quiet. It's times like this she feels like she gets behind and wishes she was capable for any sort of form of battle, but even up to now, she's too weak willed for that.]

[ She grins almost shyly as she answers: ] Right away? If you're up for that, Roxas.

[ She notices Namine has gone quiet after she gives her input. She doesn't remember much of the other girl really being a fighter, but... ] It'd be nice if you could still join us.

Sure. Wasn't really doing much anyway.

[He nods in agreement to Xion's statement.]

... oh, um. I-I won't be of much help when it comes to fighting, anyway, so...

Okay! I'll go get my Keyblade in a little bit.

Hmm... Maybe we can teach you? [ BECAUSE ALL OF SORA'S HEART SPAWN NEEDS TO WIELD ONE AT LEAST ONCE. ]

Hey Minnie. Uh...I cleaned the kitchen for you.
