Sci-fi Villain Deoxys | Pokemon OC

Re: Sci-fi Villain Deoxys | Pokemon OC

[... who is this guy and is he a part of black arms what is with his hair. :y]

All my OCs are chronically under-iconed

[villainousvirus]

[Do you like it? Having a permanent psychic aura saves on hair gel.

But what about you, spiky little stripy...thing? Friend or foe? When in doubt, shoot first and ask questions later: one fiery purple ball of psychic energy heading your way!]

GJSDKHGJKHG awww it's okay <3

[obfuskate]

[Oh, what? That is a silly way to start approaching someone.

Shadow easily dodged the orb, sliding away from it in a skid with his air shoes. With his left palm to the ground, the rest of him more erect and poised for action, his spines flared. It's an instinctive, aggressive response.

Keep your guard up, Shadow.]

You... Who are you to charge me?

[villainousvirus]

[Ooh. Whatever that thing is, it's fast; Deoxys whistles appreciatively. For someone who just launched a ball of raw energy at a passer-by, this guy seems exaggeratedly relaxed about it. Several feet into the air above Shadow Deoxys allows himself to remain afloat — upside down, no less — drifting slowly as he peers down on the newcomer, a quirky grin on his face.]

Who are you? I think it's important for your well-being that you tell me that first, hm? [He's the one with the whole mind-balls of doom thing going on up here.]

[obfuskate]

[There was that, truthfully, but Shadow knew that he was a match for many a creature. Hell, even towards Solaris, he'd remarked to it as a possibly fair fight.

Not that he remembered that or anything. Just an example.

He kept himself tensed, ready to move and utilize the one Chaos Emerald he had on hand. Red eyes beamed up at him, not positively, but with fire lacing its color.

He was ready for a fight if he had to endure one.]

I am Shadow. That is all I care to tell you.

[villainousvirus]

[Well, however powerful this "Shadow" one turns out to be, a fight is beginning to seem almost too tempting. If it won't talk then maybe Deoxys can find out whatever he's not being told that way instead. There were easier ways, but... Deoxys' hand automatically alights on his chest, fingers briefly feeling the deep scar through the fabric of his shirt — where the crack would be on his true body. Since that troublesome yet pretty little trainer and her Pokemon did a number on his core some of his abilities have gone haywire, mind reading being one of them. Still. Fighting's more fun, anyway.

He flips the right way up, coming down a little closer while still maintaining a relatively cautious distance.]

What? You're not entertaining at all. Why so serious?

[obfuskate]

... This is your means of entertainment?

[Shadow stood straight again, his stare and his defenses not yet wavering, holding strongly together like a brick wall re-enforced by government quality alloy walls.

He was good at keeping himself locked down, in mind and in body. He wasn't about to speak a single thing of himself to this lunatic unless it was absolutely necessary, and there was not a sliver of evidence that proved it obligatory.

Thus, he remained high, tall, and sturdy.

Just like a wall.]

It is hardly amusing.

Sorry for the delay, I got distracted by Clarence icons

[villainousvirus]

[Deoxys tilts his head to the side, eyes still locked on Shadow like homing beacons. His tone and posture are still impetuously relaxed, a stark contrast to Shadow's. He leans back in the air, bringing his legs up and hooking one over another as if seated on some unseen chair, folding his arms across his chest. He frowns with mock disappointment, raising an eyebrow; the corners of his mouth still quirk upward slightly from the hints of a poorly concealed smirk.]

Hm? I don't know if it's amusing or not yet. I won't know until you talk. Why so uncivil?

nooo rushies, take your time! <3333

[obfuskate]

[... What. Shadow gives him a look of befuddlement, what he said immediately making him wonder what in the world this creature has for a brain.]

Why so uncivil? Are you implicating that you find surprise attacks launched against unknown entities 'civil'?

Tch. [He lifts his snout with a holier-than-thou air enveloping him all too naturally.] Pathetic. Show me civility, and I may consider reciprocating it.

<333

[villainousvirus]

[Deoxys' brain? A cracked purple orb filled with little but sci-fi knowledge, if that explains anything.

The look on the alien's face sours, and though a flicker of mischievousness somehow manages to linger in that expression, the look in his eyes has darkened. He leans back further in the air, closing his eyes as if in contemplation for a moment before fixing them back on Shadow.]

I'm just doing my job. I can't help that. I thought not killing you on sight was a kind enough gesture, but... [He holds his hand out in front him, watching jolts of raw purple energy spark between his fingers.] Some people are never satisfied.

[achromatopsiac]

[Yako had waited until she was completely moved in to her new apartment before telling Deoxys about it. She had known that the moment she told him she had finally moved out of her parents house, he would want to visit her; she had to argue with him, early on in their friendship, that it really wasn't possible for them to always be together without her parents becoming unsettled. But she delayed telling him because she wanted everything to be completely unpacked.

It would have been too embarrassing if he had wanted to be helpful and eded up unpacking the box with her underwear or something.

But, that was in the past. She had told him about her new place an hour ago, and as she unlocked the door she couldn't help but hum. it was a relief, not having to keep even a small secret like this from Deoxys.]

[villainousvirus]

[Deoxys was normally wary of any human-inhabited building. It was a fear that made perfect sense, or at least, to him it did. Even if he'd grown more and more used to their presence thanks to Yuko, humans were still his mortal enemies, as much as Yuko may have attempted to convince him otherwise. Unlike when they first became friends, when he had been deeply untrusting even of her, nowadays he feels safe enough to walk through the town in his human form, but going into human establishments was a step too far into the unknown. Being put in a glorified box with the enemy with decreased chance of escape? Too dangerous. The few times he'd dared follow Yako into something like a clothes shop he had stumbled out a few minutes later, heightened and dangerously on edge.

But Yako's house? Now that was a different thing entirely. He felt safe with her, and...well...it was Yako's house! He wanted to see how she lived, see what human knicknacks she surrounded herself with! So of course, when she had told him about her new apartment how could he resist? It's not like he had much to do without Yako, and even if he did it could easily be put aside for her.

And so, he's here, nice and prompt. He reaches for the door handle and stops. What was it humans did before entering a house? They...knocked? Deoxys' stands with his hand hovering awkwardly in the air for a second, before reaching out and rapping on door uncertainly.]

[achromatopsiac]

[It was pretty obvious who the tentative knock came from, so Yako quickly makes her way to the door and opens it with a smile.]

You're here! Come in, come in.

[She steps back to let him in. The apartment itself is a decent size for a single woman, and decorated tastefully enough. There are more than a few traces of her alien friend lying around, however; a blanket folded over the couch, striped in the colors of his true form, a wind chime by the window made of pieces of crystal and glass just a shade off from the gem in his chest, little treasures found by the sea...small things, but well-loved all the same.]

[villainousvirus]

[Deoxys briskly steps into the apartment and immediately starts flitting from one point of interest to another, stopping to pick things up and turn them over in his hands, maybe give anything that seems sturdy enough an experimental shake before placing it back down in the exact spot he found it. He doesn't notice the theme of certain design choices for a little while, too deeply involved in his investigations, but it clicks soon enough. Deoxys pauses his exploration under the sofa's seat-cushions just long enough to turn and grin widely at Yako.]

Did you get your decor inspiration from anywhere in particular, hm?

[achromatopsiac]

{She can't help but giggle a little as she watches him investigate every last detail of the front room. It's cute, really, as if he's a particularly large puppy. When he finally stumbles upon his realization, she merely grins back, assuming a teasing tone.}

Mm...a little, maybe. I like to have reminders of the things I love the most.

[villainousvirus]

Well aren't you sweet.

[He pushes the cushions back into place and straightens up, walking over to Yako and looping his arms around her neck before giving her a peck on the forehead.]

So. Are there any other rooms to see, or just this one?

[How do human dwellings work, etcetera.]

[achromatopsiac]

Well, just a few. The kitchen, the bathroom...and my bedroom.

[She ticks them off as she leans back against him, feeling strangely shy when she hit the last one. They might not be the same species, but Deoxys was arguably male right now, and it felt...weird, thinking of him poking aroumd her bedroom.]

[villainousvirus]

[Deoxys doesn't pick up on anything about that pause just before Yako lists the last one. Then again, he hasn't a reason to seeing as he didn't even know for sure Yako's house would have other rooms. He rests his chin atop her head momentarily, humming something that sounds vaguely like it could be from some film soundtrack, thinking.]

So many choices. I don't know which to see first — I suppose I'll let you decide, okay, darling? Lead the way!

[He'll release his arms and slide away so that she can, in fact, lead.]

[achromatopsiac]

[She's grateful that there are still some human norms that elude him. It made it easier for her to stomp down the less-than-platonic stirrings she sometimes felt around him. He didn't understand, couldn't reciprocate, and pursuing that train of thought would only be troublesome for both of them.

She takes his hand and tugs him along.]

The kitchen's closest! That's where I store and prepare and eat food.

[villainousvirus]

[Deoxys knows what a kitchen is, at least. He gives a knowing sigh, rolling his eyes in amusement.]

I should have guessed you would show me the room to do with food first. You're so obvious, Yako.

[He allows himself to be tugged and trails obediently after her, still looking this way and that as they advance toward their exciting new destination. There's too much to take in, and Deoxys wants to take in all of it. Seeing Yako's home was like getting to see lots of little pieces of her that he hadn't seen before.]

@Yako / stargazing!

[villainousvirus]

Up here, sweetheart! Don't keep me waiting!

[If the sight of Deoxys waving excitedly from the top of the darkened hill isn't enough to draw Yako up there, the picnic basket under his arm might be. Tonight was supposed to be a special occasion, so after bursting in on Yako to tell her to meet him in the park after sunset, he had made a rare venture into the shopping district. Human supermarkets have too much activity and not enough space, the isles making him feel caged, but he had finally managed to locate some of Yako's favourite foods. He'd wanted to surprise her, until he'd gotten in a heated argument with security over the issue of money for the goods he was trying to walk out the store with, only for Yako to arrive on the scene and end up paying anyway...

Still, nothing else can go wrong—the summer night's sky is clear and full of stars.]

[notimaginarybff]

[It's night time and well. Leaf here doesn't particularly enjoy sleeping by herself. The bed felt too big for her. Once she was nice and comfortable and into her jammies (which were actually Red's but ssh, no one will miss them) she couldn't help but rush over to Deoxys.]

Deoxys! I wanted to ask a favor. Is that okay?

[villainousvirus]

[Deoxys is seated on the windowsill, enjoying the cool breeze drifting in softly from the open window and looking out into the night. When Leaf approaches him he dutifully turns his attention to her, smiling welcomely at her as his eyes settle upon her face.]

Hm? Of course it is, sweetheart. Ask away.

[notimaginarybff]

[Walking closer Leaf smiled. It was a simple request. So it shouldn't be hard but she hesitates. Reaching at a random strand of her thick hair, Leaf began to twirl it.]

...would it be okay if you went to bed with me? I don't like sleeping alone. If! If that's okay with you!

[She turns her gaze to him while trying not to blush. Wow why was she so self conscious? It wasn't like she hasn't spent a lot of time alone with him before.]
