🌼 intro post
turnbloom city
[Ulsai, Ultern natives and drifters alike! It's a rather lovely day today, and it seems you're being joined by a boy with a surprisingly faded blue coat and his vivid pink partner. The two of them look around almost confused, really, as they just seem to appear near the Gateway Port and look...well, deeply confused, for both of their parts.]
...Oh, dear. Gorebyss, this doesn't look anything like we were told about Paldea, does it?
Gore... [The pink fish seems to shake her head, eyes drooping a bit before Calem reaches out to pet her on the head.]
Hey, don't worry about it. Why don't we see what this island has to offer? Maybe we'll find some inspiration to strike us up here, too! And a few snacks for you?
[The Gorebyss seems to perk up at that--mostly at the mention of snacks. That'll bring the two of them further into town at least, if you want to talk to them there.
Of course, you can also find Calem doing a couple things here and there--you can find him at the Turnbloom Market where he seems to be checking out any stalls that might have good clothing materials for sale. Threads, fabrics, tools, he's looking at everything, and if you happen to be around, he might look to you and smile.]
Excuse me. I'm just having the hardest time trying to decide on what I should get...might I ask for your assistance in picking out some fabrics for me? I'm always in the market for a second opinion, especially when I'm so unfamiliar with the fashions in this place!
[He's definitely friendly and animated enough, at least, and the Gorebyss beside him seems to regard you too. Feel free to throw something at him!
Otherwise, you might just find him in the Battle Park where he's...doing anything other than battling--Gorebyss seems to be over picking on some of the bug types for fun, but he seems to be looking at anyone around and sketching into a sketchbook? Huh. If you wanna see what that's about, feel free.]
route 4 (wildflower cape)
[Once Calem gets settled in, though, he--and a fair few of the rest of his team, from the looks of it, decide to set out for Gilterrace, but seem to decide to take a more inspiring scenic route first.
And inspiring it is. Calem seems more than apt to be distracted by the beautiful flowers growing along the path here than anything else, trusty sketchpad out and putting ideas to paper in an instant.]
Ah, flowers like these...it almost reminds me of home.
[Of course, if you happen to spot him in the evening, it seems he's set up camp for the time and is making a few things for himself and his Pokemon; if he happens to see you, though, he'll wave over to you.]
Hello! ...Excuse me, the proper greeting here is Ulsai, isn't it? [Calem laughs a bit at that, though.] Hopefully your travels have been treating you well here?

[in the original, he refers to Dent/Cilan with honorifics, even if he's just a teenager!]
[Vanillite spun happily around again and giggled, happy to be considered lovely. Serperior, who typically acted like praise was all well-deserved and entirely expected and had no effect on him looked surprised and even a bit shy. Just a bit. It was easy to miss, as it amounted to little more than a surprised blink and a flash of confusion, before its usual stoic expression returned.]
Gorebyss was also very kind and helpful in finding Vanillite. Give her my thanks, Calem sir.
[A bit of... a high-handed manner of speaking (so, Calem has nothing to worry about if he wants to speak in a more refined manner), but it's said with a very genuine smile there and he did address Calem very respectfully, for being older than him.]
no worries!! makes sense, calem is just going to die internally at feeling old
Though, when Trip speaks up, Calem...balks, at least a tiny bit.]
Ah... [alright calem come on now, try not to look like you've aged at least ten years from that
He'll smile at the statement, though, waving it off as Gorebyss preens from the praise a bit.] It's no trouble at all; I'm sure she's quite glad to help. But yes, thank you for assisting him in finding his partner, my dear.
[Gorebyss preens even more at that; once Trip is done, though, Calem will start to pack up with a bit of a bow.]
Do forgive us for taking up so much of your time today, but...I do hope we'll meet again soon. Perhaps I can try to see if Gorebyss can rein herself in a bit so we can have a proper battle.
no subject
... he might realize he hurt Calem's feelings later!
But for now... when Calem smiled again, Trip gave Calem a little wave as he turned away to leave with his Pokemon.]
Maybe we will... later.
