...all right. The last few days have undoubtedly been Rough, so it's high time that everyone celebrate the lifting of the oppressive presence of Overwatch with some good-old fashioned relaxing!

option a: death by fluff

What better way to avoid stress than to follow the conflict-averse Wooloo? They didn't just vanish from the islands after being herded, after all. They're rolling their way up the mountain, calling to the trainers they pass along the way. Come pet them, they want the attention!

Just be careful: the mischievous creatures have been to known to push Trainers into each other for their own amusement. They're imitating their herders, the playful scamps.

option b: the hot springs

And if being warmed by fluff on all sides isn't your speed, the nearby hot springs are also an option! They're finally working properly once more, and there's no danger of having to join a flexing contest if you want to relax. Trainers and their Pokémon are welcome to wash their worries away.

It's a good chance to socialize, just...behave yourselves. We've had enough trouble for a while.

Nozomi listened to Phym’s events, smiling as she did. She sounded so excited and it made her so happy.

As she did, she caught sight of the two arrivals, using her free hand to wave at them.

“Hello, you two!”

[devilish_chrysanthemum]

Bullet's response is a sort of muted static sound, the electronic hum of a TV set to no particular channel. Liddell just bobs into a curtsy before glancing over at Alice, who tilts her head to the side.

"...ah. Cozy is trying to make a new friend."

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Oh!” Nozomi gasped before reaching out. “It’s okay! Me and my partners don’t bite!”

The Yamper yips a few times and wags its tush.

[devilish_chrysanthemum]

Yamper is immediately rolled over by a Wooloo.

Where did it even come from? Why is a full body flufftackle its preferred way of making friends?

[cureofmanyworlds]

There’s a bark as the Yamper is Wooloorolled, the pup just happily hanging it’s tongue out as it was rolled out.

“Where did...?” Nozomi uttered, confused and amused.

[devilish_chrysanthemum]

"Cozy likes to make friends from ambush."

Phym nods happily in agreement.

[cureofmanyworlds]

Nozomi laughs at that. “That is so adorable!” She said. “Oh, I wish I had met you two sooner - I never realized how fun you were!”

[devilish_chrysanthemum]

Phym laughs happily as well.

"Niheeheehee! Right?"

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Yup!” Nozomi said before hugging Phym. “Sorry, had to!”

[devilish_chrysanthemum]

Phym hugs back, giggling happily. Autumn is also hugging Nozomi!

Alice just leans back and pats Yarn on the head.

[cureofmanyworlds]

Nozomi can’t help but smile wide, though she notices Alice.

“Wanna join in, too?”

[devilish_chrysanthemum]

Phym stares at Alice with wide, hopeful eyes and Alice sighs a little, internally, before going over to the small group, Yarn keeping pace on the edge of the spring.

Mindful of the fact that Nozomi cannot possibly be tougher than Amy, she carefully modulates her strength as she joins in the hug.

From a distance, her tanned skin keeps them fairly hidden, but close up it's possible to notice that her body is covered in small, faint scars.

[cureofmanyworlds]

If Nozomi were transformed, she might have handled that strength. Who knows?

She does take notice of those faint scars, though, as she hugs her as well. She is very mindful of them, though, just in case...
