[ 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 ([personal profile] 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! ]

[ Back from his second mission in the early evening of today and what has he learned...? ... Well, a few things, actually. And it's because of those few things he's learned that this comes in three major sections: ]

[ Voice ]

So, tell me here- there's no freakin' way that most people can talk to trees, right?

[ Because of course they can't if Silver is a weird tree-person than that is him being weird. Okay. Ok. But after that... the fight with the bigger Shift Hunter the other day has made him realize that perhaps he needs to refine himself a little more. In that respect, he misses Logan. Even if the guy was exacting and probably a little crazy (hell, he liked to train in the morning) it still stood out to him. Logan. Shura. He's had a lot of crazy mentors, so he thinks about how to word this before... ]

'N uh. Is there anyone out there who's good at training people with super powers? [ He finds it a little weird to call what he's got super powers, but it's close enough ] Or special abilities, stuff like that.

[ And then finally... ]

[ Action ]

[ Skarmy (the Skarmory) did not go on the mission with them because Rin is not (and in her mind will never be) her trainer. She's in trainer limbo, if you will. So she hung out at the house got to know some of the people and pokémon there no doubt, but she still was quite frustrated to not have Rin there as a physical reminder of the trainer she didn't have right now. Silver too, actually.

Which is why when Rin comes back, she immediately picks a fight with him as soon as he puts on his pajamas. Rin responds in kind, transforming into his full demon form to match her (while still in his pajamas). While the sword is discarded early on, this does mean that there's a whirling ball of blue fire punching and kicking at a seven or eight foot tall bird made of metal shooting lasers and launching spikes at him, among other things. While the two are play-fighting the both of them are a bit hot tempered and the both of them are quite strong, so it's possible there will be property damage as they leap/fly all over the area around the Flame Building and House 11.

Feel free to bare witness or see an empty house get partially blown up or something else like that. ]

Where's Pilouette? [ But he knows. He suspects, at least. He didn't see her when he watched everyone come in. He was then reminded people died, and today that people are coming back. But still not her - he hasn't seen her and he doesn't know. He sounds somewhat lost, he sounds choked up. He half wants to just leave the journal behind and...

Precis... ]
I want to- ... Wait, what was that!

[ And then it cuts off- ]

[ Action ]

[ Because his house just vanished. So did the pool There's just a grassy field with a tree in the middle of it. Shiemi was out somewhere and now it's just him and Skarmy, Shiemi's seven foot tall murderbird of steel. Her and Rin loo confused at each other. And then Skarmy squawks at him before making to fly off. Rin ends up flipping her the bird before going to collect Midori the turtle and go off to look all over down for where his house just vanished to ]
