skipping the shipping part of it because Scar has a literal terminal case of The Hangups
SCAR AND BJ GO TO RAINFOREST CAFE
BJ will be like "these were HUGE in the 90s in my world, you gotta check it out haha" and when they get there, they're squeezed into one of those booths and served those shoestring fries and its just...its not good and BJ is like "...i thought this would be fun 8c"
DLFKJSDAFKLJDSA OH NOOOOOO
"an acquaintance told me of this place, I think you will enjoy it"
The animatronic Oranguru directly above their booth: AAAH AAAH AAAH AAAH
I feel like he would be able to grok that she would Hate it, but maybe this can be one of those things she just politely ignores
less a toe shoes situation and more a ill-fitting alolan shirt situation
this could be the way bj gets him to go out with him, though.
"Would you like to go to the Oranguru restaurant."
he would sit with that dead-eyed zebstrika screeching in his ear if it meant he got to sit with Scar and watch him eat mediocre french fries
Hey she would go with him at least once. She does want to encourage him to do things and find things he enjoys
he can split his uncanny animatronics time :>
She needs to at least know what she's politely ignoring
a fascinating sensory experience that's what
Yeah, his initial instincts are correct, she will not be a fan. Also she will critique the hell out of it, since she does themed events a lot and converts her club into immersive experiences like three times a year.
;-; want to have more wrath and scar threads
and more scar and heather threads
very much looking forward to the "1. what happened to gluttony PART TWO and 2. you cannot talk to anyone else about gluttony" conversation
folds hands. what things do u want for Scar, maybe I can get Loop to provide something
Phantastus: YEAH I gotta think about something good for him and Heather to get up to. Heather, have you ever considered,
lifting?? stocke: Well he
does have a sense of wanting to train his pokemon for the first time right now, since he got held hostage by a sudowoodo
fellow baby Pokemon trainers
he thinks pokemon battling is weird and he doesn't like that people seem to solve so many of their grievances in this world by making their pets fight
but one angry rock tree wiped his little guys, so
gotta make the lil guys stronger so they can defend themselves! even if loop also thinks it's weird
why not just fite urself like normal people /scar instantly crushes loop
EXACTLY!!! IF YOU HAVE BEEF, JUST PUNCH THE GUY
one time Heather was Fucking Pissed at him and tried to really passionately initiate a battle and Scar just looked at her like "....?"
:|a I think an easy way to swing this on my end is gonna be... even if Loop's tentatively getting used to Pokemon battles, a looooot of the trainers on early routes are. Kids.
So once they figure out their Pokegear I can have them make a post that's like "hey are there any... actual adults.... who want to train Pokemon... constantly indirectly fighting kids feels weird but my Beldum REALLY wants to fight and starts nagging me about it...."
YEAP that certainly works
HEATHER WOULD BE WILLING TO TRY LIFTING..... she has historically enjoyed training/working out with VARIOUS EXTREMELY BUFF MEN so honestly if Scar suggested it to her she wouldn't be hard to convince
he knew he could count on his fellow Dish Doer
she may eventually conclude that she prefers other types of workouts but BY GOD SHE'D GIVE IT THE GOOD OLD COLLEGE TRY
heather this is the devil
heather women love Muscles
SHE HAS MUSCLES.... JUST NOT SUPER OBVIOUS ONES
her favorite joke also is to insist that she has a six-pack while very obviously not having one so she has to be careful to not actually get a six-pack
she is the only person in the world who thinks this is funny but it's a load-bearing bit
without the bit, who is she anymore
and yeah I'm very excited to get Scar and Wrath more Established
wrath can also thank scar PROPERLY for his help
that will mean a lot to him, he knows manners are not uh
Wrath has to catch himself and do it purposefully or he won't do it
but he is better at remembering!
HE WILL BE SO PROUD OF HIM
GOOD JOB LITTLE FERAL BOY
(PINAKO IS PROBABLY AT LEAST HALF RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS)
(I don't even imagine he spent LOADS of time with the Rockbells but I also don't think Pinako would let that slide lmao)
she would Not be having it
what is funny is that Scar will attribute this to Lust and do his best not to let on how pleasantly surprised he is
THE OTHER HALF WOULD BE LUST
he did just regain the memories of her trying her best to teach him that too
