in the hall of the mountain king [red's plots]

[Blue]

Soooo.

I think at the very least we should get together and plot out details about their past interactions so everyone's happy and on the same page. I'm pretty flexible, so that shouldn't be too hard! Howeverrr, I'd also really love to see your Red in action with a thread, if we can think of anything! But, of course, only if you want to. Absolutely no requirements!

[Leaf]

I am on a pretty much eternal quest to make Leaf super sad, and part of that is probably going to be dealing with the fact she wound up on the other side of a war from her two old friends. I figure she hasn't seen Red in person in a long time and it's really no secret which side he's on? She's been cropping up in Nox business only rather recently, within the last year.

Pretty much I think if they ran into one another again it'd end up a fight and she'd end up feeling horrible and conflicted about it, and probably on the defensive because Red's always been better at this end of the Pokemon training deal than she is.

Re: Crushing on her as a kid, I'm totally fine with that and it's up to you if she ever might've noticed. I tend to play Leaf kind of bad at paying attention socially because she's always been so busy doing EXCITING ADVENTURE THINGS and one-track-minding about them. She's always been friendly and energetic and bold, but not the best at people.

[RED]

awww yisss i've been waiting for this

Red & Blue

Past is as good a place to start as any~ I dunno if it would be mutual, but during their Pokemon journeying Red would have considered Blue to be a really close friend, not to mention biggest competition. He wouldn't have harbored any hard feelings toward him in spite of all of their fights, Blue's attitude, and possibly conflicting personalities? though he did win that championship battle in the end, so...not much reason to from Red's pov. Post-championship...I really have no idea. I wouldn't mind if Blue went looking for him but that doesn't seem likely from reading his app lol I think you mentioned how he never talks about that battle, so would he have been happy about Red disappearing?

As for threading, I'm surprised you have to ask xD I was wondering how involved he is with Lux, since right now the only thing I can think of is them somehow getting thrown into a mission together |: please tell me if you have a better idea

Red & Leaf

I think not being the best at people is somehow they have in common lol. Maybe she could have suspected it/used it as something to tease about before, if that's ok with you?
Red would have guessed that she isn't too supportive of Lux due to how little he hears of her despite her status in the trio (otherwise I imagine Lux would have milked it for all it was worth). That much he wouldn't have faulted her for, since he tends to be more lenient with those who are just trying to stay out of the conflict and not actively doing anything "wrong". She hasn’t been fighting for long, so it’s unlikely he would be hostile from the get go…Although depending on the circumstances for how you want them to meet, a battle could certainly be inevitable :b

[Blue]

oh gosh i did not mean to take this long to respond i am so so so sorry ;;

Red & Blue
I think Red and Leaf would be as close to a friend as Blue might say he has tbh, at least so far. Like he's not ... very nice to anyone really but then again he's never thought of that as something he should even work on so whoops. And, mmm I think I intended that to mean more of a "he doesn't really talk about it," because it's a failure on his part lol. He'd probably seek Red out but I think I'll reserve some time to figure out exactly how much oops.

I do want to bring up and give you options when it comes to Blue's Raticate! Like I'm listing it as dead but I'm going to leave it up to you on whether or not I say Red or Team Rocket did it because that'd maybe be a big impact on Red too and I don't want to just push that on you because that'd be a pretty jerk thing to do!! Also be sure to know I can really roll either way so please don't feel pressured or worry about it if you'd rather not put that on Red! That would be totally fine, okay?

Also I want to put out there that I'm probably going to write Blue with a slight slant of (lol) putting people before pokemon, in his own way. If Red contrasts that or his way of going about it, we could maybe work that in and do a fun thing with that? Again, up to you!

As for actually getting to threading~ Blue tries to stay away from the politics of Lux since he at least knows he's not fit for that type of thing, and he's not about to outright volunteer for the front lines. Still, I'm sure you're right with what you said to Trip about Lux trying to use the trio for what it could, and I don't think Blue would outright oppose that too hard, or do absolutely nothing if citizens were being attacked by Nox terrorists. ... I might have more ideas in the morning but I'm going to go to bed for now feel free to remind me if I forget to think of anything else I'm really sorry again for not responding sooner ;;

[Akkai]

Red & Akkai

These two probably crossed paths at one time. Friends or enemies it would be hard to tell with their closed personalities. The two are similar personalities wise but have completely different back stories and come from two different parts of the world. But with Akkai's background he probably had spoken or even battled him at one point or another during the war.
