3RD PRAYER - [ACTION ONLY - GOLDENROD CITY]
[[Goldenrod City is beautiful. It's so vibrant, so bright, so...happy. Kariya loves it already.
He's only been here a week, but has already taken to wandering through the streets most days, staring at everything and everyone, taking in the atmosphere. It's such a cheery place; it fills him with warmth.
He's not sure what it is, but it feels as if the disfigurements on his face have lessened somewhat, now that he's been in Johto a little longer. Whether they actually have or not doesn't matter; it's given him the confidence to walk down the street with his hood down, though he's looking at the ground a little more than he should be.
Once he'd realised just how lovely Goldenrod was, he immediately went to the Department Store and purchased a camera; he'd had a fair bit of money saved up from his work in the Pokemon Centres, and as such he'd managed to find quite a nice piece of equipment. He'd always loved photography, back before the war. It's nice to be able to indulge in it again.
Above him, his Beautifly and Butterfree glide after him, coasting around and occasionally landing on his shoulders. He's already used an entire roll of film photographing his Pokemon, so he doesn't direct the camera at them too often.
Rather, his interest is captured by the people walking the streets.]]
Ah, excuse me-
[[You don't mind if he just comes up to you, do you? He's smiling shyly, holding up his camera, while his Beautifly flits around his head.]]
Would you mind if I took your picture?

[[OOC: People in Goldenrod, come get your picture taken! Kariya the Photographer (far less creepy than Cameron, don't worry) will even give you a copy of the photo, free of charge.]]

Uu-! If you want to take Maria's picture, that's okay! Maria's sure Lion wouldn't mind if you did that..! [ since apparently she figures Lion is her.. surrogate caretaker of sorts here, yup. ]
no subject
...in a non-creepy manner, good lord]]
Ah, are you sure she wouldn't mind? I wouldn't want to upset your mother.
[[She...is your mother right
hopefully this is not a bad assumption to make, um]]
no subject
Mama isn't in Johto, so she wouldn't even know! And Lion is Maria's cousin, and since Lion's so nice Lion won't mind! [ Lion's gender remains a mystery due to her third person speaking habits. ]
Especially not when it's from a friendly oji-san like you, right?
