[Adian Savage]

Adian once again found himself back in Birch City looking for jobs. Rather recently his newly bought tent had been damaged and the repairs or the cost of a new one were a bit more than he wanted to spend right now. So off to the job board he would go! Luckily there seemed to be many listings of various difficulty and the man was just looking to make a quick buck and picked what seemed like the easiest of jobs - mail delivery.

Taking the listing down Adian would make his way to the nearby post office and inform the works of his interest. In no time he would be outfitted with a small carrier style pack similar to the post workers who were employed there and a small badge to pin on his jacket signalling him as a temporary delivery man. The whole get up was kind of cute, Adian thought. He even regretted not bringing his camera or phone to take a selfie but he was here to make some money, not show off.

With a delivery route map in his hand Adian would set off around Birch City, enjoying the brisk morning air on his impromptu walk as visions of his new tent dancing in his mind.

(Yep you roll)
What a crisp but nice day out to be delivering mail? It's a little overcast and may look like snow later, but not now! 

[Adian Savage]

The weather was quite fair for being winter. Crisp but not cold, even with the overcast sky above him Adian felt pretty good about the job he had taken on. His first stop on the map was just two streets down from the post office. It took only a few minutes to make the trip and arrive outside the gated townhouse. Rummaging around in his messenger bag Adian would find the three letters addressed to a Mrs. Doris Sinclair. By the postage, color of the cards and stickers on it Adian could only assume the cards were from grandchild to a grandmother.

Adian paused a moment before placing the letters inside the mailbox, enjoying memories brought back by simply holding the letters. He used to help his siblings decorate the letters that they sent out to family and it was always a wonderful time - marking the true beginning of the holidays in the Savage household.

However he had more mail to deliver and he slipped them inside, turning to begin his journey once more.

You're stopped momentarily as the door behind you opens and the old woman calls out thanking you for your service. If you like, she has some freshly baked cookies! How nice! 

[Adian Savage]

Before Adian had managed to take a step away from the mail box and continue on the door would swing open and the adorable grandmother Adian had envisioned had lived there stepped into view. She was every bit as cute as he had thought and a smile spread on his face as she ushered for him to come inside for a moment, out of the chilly air, and share in her freshly made cookies.

Without a second thought Adian would turn on his heels, scoop her letters from the box he had deposited them in and join her inside. Glancing at the entry way Adian was quickly able to deduce by the many pictures just how many grandchildren she had and he smiled as he held out her envelopes, happy to deliver holiday cheer.

Over a glass of milk and freshly made cookies the pair would chat for almost an hour. Adian couldn't care less how much time he spent there, enjoying the suddenly sweet time spent with a lonely widow. It once again brought back memories of his childhood, of the great times spent visiting his own grandparents, long since gone.

Eventually he would have to leave, the messenger bag growing heavy on his arm. With many thanks and a bag full of cookies to keep him going for the remainder of his walk Adian found himself back on the streets, making his way to the second house that required a delivery.

A random event has occurred!

Oh no!

Adian Savage

On your way to the second house, it seems your an unlikely target for a huge Fletchling's games. A large caw echoes before the Fletchling dives down, and seeing your mail carrier bag attempts to peck and poke you to get it.

[Adian Savage]

As he waved his last goodbye to the wonderfully charming old lady he had spent the better part of the last hour with a loud and rather terrifying caw would sound overhead. Adian chose to ignore it - he was no stranger to flying types circling overhead and with the winter months on them it stood to reason that the sound he heard was simply a bird or two getting into it for food.

Of course that wrong assumption would bite him in the ass both literally and figuratively when a scary large Fletchling was upon him, pecking and clawing at his back in an attempt to steal the mail bag right from his shoulder. Adian screamed, waving his arms around like a mad man as he broke into a panicked run. The Fletchling was beyond tenacious, following him easily as he sprinted down the street.

People stood and watched the man be attacked, as the messenger bag was torn by the Fletchling's sharp talons. He would smack at it weakly even as mail would pour from the bag and land on the ground. As it fully spilled out the bird seemed content, a laughing and mocking caw before it would ascend into the air and vanish - leaving Adian bruised, bloodied and with a bunch of mail he had to get on his hands and knees to pick up.

The Fletchling swarm fly away, leaving Adian high and dry. Just then, an Audino comes out of the bushes, a rather concerned expression on her features. She quickly comes over to Adian and helps him pick up the mail but not before using a Heal Pulse to help poor Adian. ;3; those birds were such bullies!

[Adian Savage]

Today had not been his day for sure, Adian decided, as he picked up the crumbled and ruined cookies and mail that had now been clearly dropped on the road. Curses would reign from his lips as he angrily picked things up, not noticing the Audino until it was practically on him. Immediately his anger would switch off as the cute pokemon padded up to him and unleashed as rather refreshing healing pulse. In wonder he would watch his scraped and bloodied hands heal, leaving nothing but very thin pink lines of nearly healed flesh.

For a brief second his day would once again feel a bit better now that he wasn't wounded from a random attack. The pair would finish picking up the rest of the mail and he held it close to his chest, knowing now that the mail bag he had been loaned was completely ruined. Hopefully the mail company would be understanding and he wouldn't be expected to pay it back...

"Thank you Audino." Adian said gratefully, pushing the thought of losing out on money into the back of his mind. "I feel much better, you've been a life saver." The pink pokemon cooed happily before waddling off into the pushes where she had come. Inhaling sharply and with a renew sense of confidence Adian made his way to the second home on his route.

A random event has occurred!

What will you do?

Adian Savage

As you go along to the next house, you find that there seems to be a little girl waiting at the mailbox. She stares expectantly at you and explains she's hoping her package has finally come! Her grandma sent it to her all the way from Kanto! But.... it doesn't seem to be in your messenger bag! 

[Adian Savage]

Quite the predicament the man had found himself in now as he looked down at the little girl who held her hands out, making grabbing motions with her fingers while expecting her package. Adian would quickly shuffle through what he was carrying slowly and deliberately as the small child stared him down. It was quite clear he didn't have the package and once he was done awkwardly shuffling around for it he looked back at the girl, who hadn't changed her position of standing there waiting expectantly and frowned.

"Hey I'm sorry sweetheart, I don't have it... Looks like it's just not here yet. Maybe tomorrow?" Adian said gently, never one who was too good with children to begin with.

"Not fair, not fair, nor fair!" The little girl screamed, stamping her feet angrily. Before Adian could react or respond she lunged forward and pulled on the already damaged messenger bag, causing it to rip further, the entire front pocket completely coming off, to be left hanging by a few threads.

When she realized what she'd done the girl would lock on in shock before racing back into her home without so much as a sorry. "You gotta be freaking kidding me..." Adian muttered, deftly touching the torn off pocket.

A few moments later, the girl's mom comes outside and calls out to ask if you're alright. She apologizes for her daughter's behavior and asks if there is anything she can do.

[Adian Savage]

Adian rubbed his temples as he thought about how the day had gone. It truly had been a shitshow from the very beginning. At least it wasn't raining, was the only thought he held onto when he cast his eyes skyward. The clouds from earlier remained heavy in the sky, darkening ever so and the words 'yet' echoed in his mind. While he grumbled his misfortunes and began to head off he would heard the sound of someone calling to him and turn to see the door open to the house of the child who had just assaulted his bag. 

For a moment Adian would stare at the woman, thinking of all the things he could say about controlling their brat child when an idea came to mind. "Actually, would you happen to have a sewing kit, or even maybe some safety pins to get this pocket to stay on?" He asked, hoping such a request wouldn't be too out of the norm. While no seamster Adian had been forced to sew a patch or two or fix a tear in his jeans before. While not the best at it he could probably make it look good enough to possibly pass over the bag on his return and collect payment before they noticed the damage?

Adian Savage

The woman asks you to a wait a moment and disappears in the house for a few before coming back with a few pins. She carefully helps you get your bag together. Unfortunately a few letters fall from your bag during this time- not too much but just enough to need to clean up. 

[Adian Savage]

Well it was better than nothing, Adian admitted to himself when he looked down at the pins. They weren't terribly noticeable and he was reasonably sure he could hide that side of the mail bag against his person to hide the damage. Of course mail would fall during the period where it was repaired and he quickly found himself on his knees scooping up the mail. As he did so he realized many of the letters looked as if they had been dropped... More than once. A crease here, a smudge there. Perhaps mail delivery wasn't his strong suit the man figured as he thanked the mother and continued on.

Upon that thought Adian realized it really wasn't. During the course of this delivery he'd managed to only drop off a single letter! With a bag full of damaged post he was bound to receive no reward if he kept up this way. With quick and determined steps he made it to the next house and began searching his bag for the letter that belonged there.

The next house has a Beware of Bewear sign out front... but you don't see the Bewear. 

[Adian Savage]

"Hell no." Adian said as he rounded the corner and saw the Beware sign. His stomach sank in fear and he felt his whole body tense at the sign. For a moment he swore he could feel the black beady eyes of the fighting type staring at him from the nearby tree but knew something like that couldn't possibly be true... OR WAS IT? Casting green eyes skyward he nervously glanced at the tree to prove it to be devoid of Beware and when it was he sighed heavily.

However the lack of Beware in the trees didn't calm his racing heart. His own hatred of this particular pokemon line wasn't unwarranted. Every instance he had had with this pokemon was aggressive and destructive... No wonder the sign was put proudly on that post - warning all others to stay away from the horrid pokemon bent on destruction and havoc.

Of course while he stood there in frozen fear the seconds raced by and he heard the sound of a gate moving nearby? Instantly Adian looked towards the source of the sound and saw a branch scratching on the fence, a slight wind having started up recently. Heavy dark skies above him made the man realize he was running out of time. Looking into his ruined mailbag the man would shove a letter into the box and high tail it out of there before the Beware found him.

You manage to get out of there! But as you look over your shoulder just once, you see a Bewear staring at you from behind the fence. It was tall enough to just look out over the fence. God. 

[Adian Savage]

As Adian left the property he felt eyes on him. The hair on the back of his neck stood up and he felt an overwhelming sense of fear wash over him. Pausing he turned to face the property and saw nothing more than the beady dead black eyes of the Beware looking over the fence line.

If anyone had been looking they would hear a very high pitched shriek come from the red haired man before he simply broke out into a terrified sprint. Adian didn't care if anyone saw, he needed to get away from the damned bear before it broke through the fence and murdered him!

Numerous pieces of mail would be lost as he fled the scene, falling to the ground unnoticed from the torn up bag. When he ran as fast and as far as he could do Adian stopped, wheezing with his heart racing and head pounding. At least he had managed to blindly race his way onto the final street in his expected route.

You manage to escape and are not pursued! Uh... you did lose a lot of mail, but maybe you can just focus on delivering what you have. Look at that nice house over there.
