[ behold, Goldenrod. your new campeador has arrived! Tavros has been on the fly—or, uh, the bull ride—for weeks, with the express purpose of hastening to Goldenrod. of course, the reason this took almost a month and not, y'know, a week or two, is because he got lost. a lot. lost, and held up by wild Pokemon that he had to direct his amazing team of three underleveled Pokemon to battle, with near-disastrous results, and other various paraplegic shenanigans that I would be heartless to describe here, but which may or may not involve the total destruction of his wheelchair somewhere along the way.

so, as grand as it may seem to ride into a big city on the back of a giant hoofbeast, it really becomes less impressive when you take in the weather-beaten and fatigue-stricken appearance of both steed and rider. ]

We did it, Rufio! Unless I'm reading the map wrong, uhh, again, which is a thing that's completely possible, since it happened so many times before, but assuming I'm not, which I don't think I am, for once...

[ his Tauros gives a snort of impatience. Would you get to the point, already? ]

Right, sorry. Anyway, I think this is Goldenrod. It's gotta be, just, based on its appearance, which resembles the descriptions that were given to me, before.

[ clip clop clip clop... clip... clop... Rufio is beginning to slow down. his legs are trembling. Tavros leans down and pats his neck consolingly. ]

It sure is big, isn't it...

[ ...and then he promptly passes out and falls off of his trusty steed sideways, just in time for said trusty steed to collapse over the other way. bull pileup on aisle four. ]

[ ooc: assume replies to responses on the 'gear come after he wakes up \o\ ]

[when Tavros starts to approach, Hellbeast p. much just stares at him, because he has no clue what this strange wheeled person is. but Sollux just smiles when he hears Tavros since, well. they might not be super close, but it's still nice to actually have him around.]

Hey! Yeah, he is pretty cool, isn't he? He's really helpful, too.

I didn't know there were neat kinds of monsters here, like this one, I thought that mostly there were just the small ones like outside.

[ don't be weirded out, Hellbeast! Tavros will just go ahead and Poke-talk to him, introduce himself and all that. it's only polite, after all. and it's all in their heads, so nobody gets to overhear them and think Tavros is crazy. :| ]

Well, he started off small, but he evolved a while ago so now he's pretty big and awesome. I actually got him from an egg though, I didn't catch him. I haven't seen any wild ones around.

[Hellbeast is a little confused at first, but since Tavros seems nice enough and apparently knows his trainer he calms after a moment and introduces himself as well. he may look ferocious but he's actually rather laid-back and polite when it comes down to it.]

Oh, cool, so they come out of eggs, too. That's pretty neat, and, uhh, nice that you were responsible for his hatching. Uhh, speaking of which, I mean, of him, he's pretty nice, and a lot more polite than the monsters that I have, actually. Even Rufio, because he's sort of, a little bit cranky.

[ a lot bit cranky, tbh. ]

...Oh, right. I forgot you can still talk to them here.

I'm glad you like him, then, I guess? I've had him for a long time, so maybe that's some of it.
