[ Action ]

[ If any of you have gone to the Battle Dome since it opened up again after the event with six new rooms (and let's face it, a bunch of you probably have) you've probably seen Rin in there. Or Silver. Actually, both of them. You see, the both of them have been training incessantly for the last month (though even more so since they were all but assured a constant room via the expansion) in preparation for a match that Rin's due to have at the end of the month. As such, much of their training has been around a field Rin actually is familiar with and, after this month, he's pretty sure he's not cut out for: Pokémon training.

A chance encounter with Lance a while back led to the challenge due to come at the end of this month, and Rin's been working with Silver and Skarmy to try to get Rin and Skarmy to function as a proper team. It's been rough going - Rin has been distractible, Skarmy's been fairly resistant (and also distractible) and Silver has been short on sleep. Still, you might witness them are many hours the day practicing battles, commands... ... lighting things on (blue) fire? No, that last one is just Rin dicking around. But when he see him doing that you might also see Silver hitting him with a newspaper or comic book he's got rolled up to do it with, or in extreme cases, soaking him with a blast of water from his buddy Feraligatr.

Because they are at the Battle Dome so much (going so far as to pitch a tent in a simulation of a forest in one of the rooms, some nights, literally camping out in there) you can see them doing any number of things, including, but not limited to: what's described above!, watching the stars in a simulation of the Viridian Forest or on a mountain of simulated Sneasels, Rin programming in some demons from home (including but not limited to Reapers, Amaimon, Phantom Trains, and hobgoblins), the two of them going out to get snacks from the vending machines, the two of them going to the bathroom in turns in the Med Center's bathroom to wash their faces, the two of them importing more food, and other whacky antics we can fill in if you want to just run into them doing goofy stuff. Possibly Rin trying to book-study for the school mentioned below

Additionally, Silver and Rin do have responsibilities outside of training. While Rin compromises with Silver to miss half his days of school in the week, he does go out to do half of them (though he can't help but find it a little pointless, it feels disrespectful to Shiemi and Yukio not go at all), and works shifts at Seventh Heaven. In all places, the guy looks increasingly haggard and tired, and not just from over-working himself. When he does get to sleep, he's not sleeping nearly as much as he'd like. So you might also see him nodding off on a bench or something ]

[ OOC: This is a joint post with Silver (

feistytrader). The Battle Dome parts, that is - threads there will be three ways with Rin, Silver, and your character unless otherwise requested. The portions outside the Dome will be just Rin though if you'd rather go there. Have at! ]

[Jean had been in the middle of a training simulation, sharpening his skills with the 3D maneuver gear, when...well, nature called. Not wanting to waste the last twenty minutes of the simulation he'd set up, he soldiers through the growing discomfort - just because the Battle Dome grew a few new rooms, it doesn't mean someone won't hijack the one he's using if he leaves.

This might have been a mistake. By the time he's done, he's not running to the toilet, really, just...walking rather forcefully, fists pumping at his sides. When he turns the corner to see Rin waiting there, his expression falls to one of dismay, and he groans.]

There's a line? [Why this. Why now. He fidgets in a more subtle, nuanced version of the potty dance.]

[Oh hey look, your friendly neighborhood Weavile is here too! What's up, Jean.

Weavile is helpful enough to make out the motions of washing a face to indicate what exactly Silver's doing in there. That's right, your bathroom use isn't even being held up by important bathroom use.]

[He'd thought that maybe Weavile was saving Silver a spot in line, but as soon as the Pokemon indicates that his trainer is already in the bathroom, and wasting the opportunity with something like washing his face, Jean strides past him to push in the door.]

I'm coming in! I gotta piss like a cart horse!

[...Uh.

Well then. If that's how you really feel, Jean...]

Go ahead. [Silver only briefly stops to look at him before continuing to wash his face off. The water's nice and cool and refreshing...]

[He wasn't going to wait for permission. Once he's oh so graciously announced himself, he's heading straight for the toilet in the corner, already yanking at the straps of his harness to loosen it up enough that he can do what he's gotta do, the sheathes and gas canisters of his gear clanging at his sides.

...

...

...

...Ahh.

His shoulders sag in relief once he's done. Shake off, flush, zip up, and re-adjust his harness. Then he's hovering behind Silver, waiting for an opening to wash his hands. He's not gross.]

[Hope that was relieving enough to be worth it, Jean. Silver backs off of the sink pretty shortly afterwards- he's had enough cold water splashed into his face that his collar is soaked, so it's probably time to stop.]

All yours.

[Look, military life has beaten the modesty out of him when it comes to this sort of thing. When Silver relinquishes the sink, Jean will step in and start lathering his hands up under the faucet. He throws a look over his shoulder.]

What are you doing washing your face in here anyway?

It's hot. [It's not hot, Silver-] We've been training for hours. I'd ask Feraligatr to soak me, but he's exhausted.

[So he went to the nearest source of water.]

I guess simulated water ain't exactly the same, huh. [He turns off the faucet and shakes his hands dry-ish before turning to pull the door open.]

You haven't been here all day, have you? Do you still remember what the outside world looks like?

Of course I do. I'd have to be in here for years to forget that.

[Silver, that's... That's not the point...]

[...Silver. Please.] Better question, do you know the definition of a joke?

[Now back in the hallway, Weavile is waiting there for them.]

Hey Silver, how long does it take to take a piss?

[ This is from Rin. Who is shirtless and by a vending machine over here looking for what seems like a decent breakfast ]
