Logan Kaitos From the sound of things, it seemed safe to assume that the emotions at play were only becoming more complicated, and Niko was having trouble imagining the sort of feelings that were going through Logan's head. The idea of loving someone despite your better judgment urging you not to...The whole idea sounded hard to stomach. Niko couldn't blame him for feeling so awful about that. He sighed as he scoured his memory for times he'd felt anything like what Logan was going through. As mentioned previously, he hadn't ever gone through something quite like what Logan was, but he'd felt his fair share of hard times, too. " I..." Niko trailed off for a moment before grumbling frustratedly. Figuring out just what to say felt so daunting. " I can't really blame you for having conflicting feelings, honestly. It's hard to take having your perception of people tainted like that. But...realistically, I don't know if it's fair to say he didn't love you. It's...probably more complicated than that." Niko took a moment to curse under his breath. He felt like he was just making things more difficult for Logan by saying things like that. Sure, the situation may not have been so black and white, but...the truth hurt. The last thing he needed to do was hurt Logan even more, so what was he supposed to do?

LOGAN KAITOS ~ one of a kind Turning his head to the other trainer to really look at him, to watch him as he spoke and be able to see the pauses and stammers there, logan winced as Niko went on but smiled softly all the same. "You sound like my brothers" he said after a moment, eyes moving to the pokemon beside the other trainer and then turning to look out over the water in front of him.
"I want to hate him, i want to be so angry i could hurt him or make him feel the pain i feel. But im not that person, my sister is and i think some of my brothers are becoming them, but all i worry about is what i did wrong. Where did i fail? Why didnt he love me? Or, if you are right, why wasn't that enough?" he found himself explaining, his words spilling out with little thought behind them, merely feelings rolling out in to the ocean spray. He didnt want to burden the other trainer but he'd pushed, he tried to make it clear Niko could leave and he hadn't, much to the gijinka's shock it seemed. |

Logan Kaitos Despite his best efforts, Niko's patience was beginning to wear thin. As soon as he caught sight of what was really going on, he knew how daunting it'd be to give Logan any real amount of inner peace. He'd already gotten an idea of the kind of thoughts roiling around in his brain, and now the chief seemed to return to the same set of questions, while Niko was left wondering what he might've been doing wrong. Why did his marriage fail? That was something that Niko couldn't really answer, and had trouble even guessing. As he stared down at his hands, then out towards the distant waves, he began to think about the manner himself. Really, all sorts of things could've happened between them, or just to them as individuals, for things to turn sour. Whatever had actually happened, though, it wouldn't be flattering, to say the least. After a good long pause, Niko was able to pull his attention away from the waves that'd hypnotized Logan earlier. " Well, if you want my opinion," Niko began, shifting his body towards Logan and his companion, " I don't want to say this is all because you were a bad partner. I say that, because I like to think you're not a bad person. That being said...well, it's safe to say you're not perfect. Because nobody is. So, maybe it was because of some issues he'd found in your relationship. I really don't know. But, if your relationship was fine, and he decided that it just wasn't enough, then that's on him at the end of the day."

LOGAN KAITOS ~ one of a kind For all he'd hurt today, hearing Niko speak the words logan thought to himself plenty often and had to hear were untrue from most. He sighed softly and then nodded his head after a long time, unable to form words to reply to do much beyond just nod until his hair fell over his face and his ears lopped forwards.
Reaching a hand up, he brushed both back from his face, using the movement to wipe away more tears at the same time and then looked out over the water. "It'll be dark soon, strong pokemon or not, getting back to the mainland wont be so simple" he thought out loud, trying to move the focus on to something else. "I never asked, why did you come out here? I know its quiet, people fear this place because of pokemons power over here, were you here to train?" he found himself asking after a pause, listening to the waves lapping ever closer. |

Logan Kaitos Niko felt like he'd just screwed up. Granted, he'd sort of felt like that for quite a while, but hearing the words come out of his mouth, he couldn't help but feel guilty. From the outside looking in, he felt like the only thing he could do was speculate. For all he knew, Logan could've actually made some egregious mistakes that put off his husband to the point of him wanting something better. He didn't like the idea, of course, but...it was possible. That, or his husband was just an unappreciative ass. Or maybe the real answer was somewhere in-between? Really, any of those three could've been true. But, of course, Logan must've already considered all three possibilities. He'd been there forever, after all, and they were all easy enough to consider. He really was back at square one, wasn't he? That was what it felt like to Niko, that was for sure. Niko sat up with Logan, unsure of where to go from there. Fortunately, Logan gave him something of a lifeline by changing the subject. He hadn't actually thought of why he'd gone to the island in a while, especially after finding Logan, but he supposed the answer was simple enough. " I was curious about this place, I guess," Niko shrugged. " More specifically, I'd heard about this place's beauty, and I figured it'd be a good opportunity for Shard here to relax and take things slow." Shard nodded as Niko pointed back at her. " My mind moves quickly," she explained. " It's...what I think you call a quirk? But yeah, taking all this in has been nice, I guess. Sorry if us butting into your business has bothered you."

LOGAN KAITOS ~ one of a kind Logan looked to the other trainer, glad for the focus to be off himself and it seemed within moment of the topic moving on to someone else, and someone else, he brightened. "Oh? I have to admit i dont have the most experince with shiny pokemon or their issues but i see a lot of it, what is the quirk exactly?" he asked the pokemon before he paused, turning his head to look to the trainer. "I assume, of course, merely, based on coloring..." he quickly tried to recover, remembering only in that moment where he was.
He was used to his company being like him, another gijinka who just understood pokemon and that was normal. Or someone like Nix, who knew enough to make a jump or was able to look to close pokemon right away to cover the gap, or someone who was used to him doing this to be fair but he refused to think of his name right now. He sort of forget it worried some people, some were used to it or saw it as spying, and, wait. "No, not at all. Im thankful for something to shift my mind to in all honesty" he found himself saying as he finally caught up to the words being said, looking to the large pokemon and then pausing again.
He'd just done it, again. |

Logan Kaitos Shard became nervous as Kaitos began shifting his attention to her. Not that she was intimidated by him - he seemed harmless enough as he was - but considering the circumstances, she hadn't planned on engaging with him too much. He was just in too much of a bad state for her to feel confident that she could handle it. At least for the time being, he was just asking a question, though to adequately explain it, she'd have to fall back on her quick thinking. " My brain works quickly," she repeated. " That's the quirk. I guess you could say I live in slow motion, but my body's also in slow motion, so really, my ability to react isn't much better than it would be otherwise." Shard stopped herself before saying anything else. She could've expanded on the topic of her own volition, but that wouldn't be helping her, would it? The whole reason they stopped by the coast was so that Shard could take her mind off of that matter. She could take in the world around her, and take in every minute aspect of its beauty... not think about all the times she'd seen things coming in her day-to-day life, yet ended up being held back by her unwieldy body. She turned away for a moment and walked closer to where the shore met the waves. Each minute the waves seemed to stretch further and further, and the sun set just a little further down. Their whole encounter had to have been just minutes, but funnily enough, it felt a lot longer. Not just because of her brain and how fast it was, but because of...everything, really. " Yeah, it's not great," she admitted, looking back and catching Logan and a worried Niko in the corner of her eye. " Most quirks aren't, I gather. But I guess it's all about living with the hand that you're dealt, y'know? Because some things just can't be helped, which...I'll admit, is still kinda crappy."

Important Info
Season
Good news, Autumn is here! The sticky heat of the summer is finally gone, but the bad news? Its gotten very cold very fast. Berrys have fallen early from their perches, fruit and food is getting caught in snap frosts and icy mornings and this is leading to very cold mornings, pokemon getting desprate quickly and dark and chilly evenings
Next season change ~ May 20th
Swarming Pokemon!
Encouraged Characters
Currently, our character numbers are pretty even, so aside from us gently encouraging more civilians and breeders...go nuts!
Numbers of Gijinka on site have dropped, too, so they're open to be applied for at the moment- though, if you're interested, go check out the adoptable threads for many wanted ones! They could always use players! ;-)
