+1 confused teenage boy

[fresh_to_deaf]

If anyone's around the plaza area, they'll probably bump into Djem; he's not exactly anything extraordinary, but he is new. At a first glance, he's a tall, sightly lanky teenage boy with a level of scruffiness that's been finely tuned over the years to annoy his parents. He has no idea where he is, but as far as he can tell, he's certainly not in Kansas anymore. 

Well, California technically, but the point's still there.

If he was to ask a question, it would probably be the usual; 'where am I? where is this place? am I dreaming?' but for the time being, he's curious enough to begin to wander, taking a note of where he first found himself and which door apparently leads back to his room.



(ooc: hey all - Sophie/Grace mun here, with a new OC offering; this is Djem, he's 18 and is your usual run-of-the-mill teenaged nerd who also happens to be completely Deaf (he's not oral and isn't great at lip reading, but is fluent in ASL). I look forward to flinging him head first into this place :) )

Sorry this is so late! D:

[To be honest, he's probably distracted enough that he would have done the same thing. Turning towards the person who bumped into him, he goes to pick up the notebook for her when he notices Flareon.

Holy snap dragons.

His surprise is clear as day - and the notebook is still on the ground - but the pokemon definitely has his attention. It's only after a few seconds of processing this that he realises the stranger's probably said something to him by now, and all he's done is stare at her companion like an idiot. Quickly pulling out his phone, he types something out and holds it out for her a second later]

Sorry! Didn't mean to ignore you! Did you say something?

No worries at all!

[Candela takes a quick glance at the cell phone and is able to figure out the situation relatively quickly. Flareon is one step ahead, already offering his trainer the notebook she dropped earlier, even if it is in his mouth.]

"Thanks, partner." [She finds a pen in her jacket, flips open the first page and begins writing.]

I was just apologizing for bumping into you. Are you okay?

[fresh_to_deaf]

[He holds his reply out a moment later with a grin]

Oh yeah, I'm fine - I'm usually the one bumping into people and things!

[Would it be weird to ask if he could say hi to Flareon? Would it be rude? Because he really, really wants to. He's probably hallucinating right now, because pokemon don't exist outside of his phone.

But so far he's really not minding all that much.]

(i apologize for the delay on my end D:)

I think we've all done it before, so no worries!

[Flareon is already intrigued by this new human, his black nose is in the air, sniffing around Djem's shoes and clothes. Finally, after a few seconds of scouting, the Pokemon sits on his hind legs, chirping happily up at the boy.]

It looks like Blaze has already warmed up to you. [She's always happy to see her pokemon getting along with other people.] I'm Candela and this is Blaze the Flareon. Nice to meet you.
