Stories and hobbies and other ways to pass the time

[brave_heart_verity]

Verity's in her favorite seat in the forum, drinking coffee and trying to read a book that's frustrating her. It isn't long before she puts it down with a scowl aimed at the cover (or possibly the concept of books). "Does anyone understand Norse mythology? Is that a thing? Because I do not get it."

"Alternately, any suggestions for hobbies for someone with lots of time and few skills? Preferably things that aren't group activities."

((A note about Verity: she's got a magic spell stuck in her that lets her always know when someone is lying to her. Please respect this; if your character is trying to lie to her, please make that known so she can react appropriately.))

"Oh, no honey, I need my glasses to see properly. And wearing them would probably give you a headache. That wouldn't be any fun."

He was only a little disappointed. Leaving his glasses off, he tied a piece of fabric around his ear just as he used to when he was only a little Pichu. Putting on the red and white cap, he beamed at her. Look, they matched!

"Aw, you wear it better than I do. Want to take a picture?" She's got a cell phone. Does he understand selfies?

[thesmashingthunder]

Picture! He'd done this with Loki! Immediately he nodded eagerly and hopped over to her, crouching on the back of the chair s he was equal with her. "Pika~!" He waved a little arm for the camera.

He's a fast learner.

"Cheese!" She'll snap a couple pics of them before lowering the phone so they can look at the pictures. "You're good at this."

[thesmashingthunder]

"Piiii~" He beams at her praise, squishing his cheeks a little. Good pictures, a pretty friend and praise - why wouldn't he be happy?

He hopped beside her again. "Pi Pikachu! Pi-?" He patted his chest, then patted her side to ask her name.

Oh man he's adorable!

She's not really prepared for this much cute. Part of her is thinking he's smart and clearly a person, and the other part is thinking she really wants to pet him.

"Your name is Pikachu? I'm Verity."
