Runa yawned loudly and leaned back, closing her eyes and humming a small tune as she waited for Prof. Holly to appear. She was sitting by her own house in Belfast town, blinking every now and then and watching the Pokemon Lab carefully. It seemed that Sanae was already up and waiting by the house, yelling at herself. Snorting Runa stretched and got up slowly, feeling a thousand years old as her joints creaked. Still humming her tune Rune padded over to Sanae, hands in her pockets. "You waiting for the Prof.?" she asked curiously, plopping next to the girl with a loud thud, grinning widely. "She's probably puttering around thinking we're still asleep. Something I'd love to be." Grimacing Runa was instantly reminded of her father shaking her with a big smile on his face, shoving food in her hands and quite literally tossing her out of the door. Having a former gym-leader as a father sucked big time sometime. So much pressure to be absolutely amazing with Pokemon.

Zane muttered to himself as he knocked on Natsume's door, his entire posture slouched as he turned the dial on his headphones down with a sigh. Tapping his foot impatiently the white-haired teen nibbled his lip nervously as he thought about meeting his first Pokemon. The creatures weren't really his thing, and to be honest, they creeped him out half the time.

[Short post is short. Can Natsume and Zane be buds?] 

[[ Sure, Det :D It's a small town, so should we assume everyone knows everyone? o_o Just some are not as close as others xD ]]

Sanae turned her head when Runa sat next to her. She didn't seem too awake, but then again, Sanae always acted like she had just chugged down a pot of coffee. Sanae's legs dangled over the bench, kicking at a few rocks impatiently.

"Yup! Are you waiting for the Professor?" She asked Runa. Sanae sighed, leaning against the Professor's house. "I really can't wait to become a trainer. Maybe I'll get a Fire Type..." She started wondering out loud.

Natsume growled when he heard a knock. First there was that energetic Sanae, who else could it be? He stood up and walked swiftly towards the door, not really surprised when he saw his friend there.

"What's up, Zane?" Natsume said nonchalantly. "Didn't expect you to be up so early." He smiled a little at that thought. "Did that Sanae wake you up too?"
