Coming from the major Leaguer who owns /two/ swords, that means a lot.

Has anyone told you that you are incredibly cool? Cuz you are.

I must have a sword that goes snicker-snack.

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 1h

It suits you!! But I won't lie, I was expecting like a huuuge bastard sword or zweihander or something

Klara would probably say I'm overworked and underfucked or something trite like that. My brother would say that I'm suppressing my emotions by becoming a workaholic, again. But /I/ would say. I'm... good! I've been really focused. Locked in on what I need, you know? Food break!

Simmers down the strike to take a break. They wave with a big grin at Angel before going over and dismissing the local. Within a few minutes they make their way to the front.] Heyyyyyyyy!!

[Angel is immediately greeted by Yip-pup, Terri's non battle Yamper happily wagging its tail expectantly at the food. In the arena electricity is flying, as an Eelektross whips up a storm, contending against an unfortunately unprepared Carkol brought by a local. The Carkol is spared as Terri+

I'm out here every other day, riding. Good luck, have fun with ladders, stop by the Wedgehurst stadium if you have time and show me the shining unicorn you catch! Toodles!

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

But that route is filled with pretty intense pokemon..

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Oh. Well. Okay so we're in the Upper wild area now, so you either go through Hammerlocke, take a left, deal with all the trainers on RT6, climb a few cliffs, bam, you're there... orrr. You head straight out towards Lake of Outrage, then theres a woodsy incline for about 20 miles, cut north, bam.

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Oh uh. It's... a waysssss north east of here. You got business with Allister or somethin?

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Huh. I might have one now. Strychnine does that?

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I'm gonna bike for 4 hours and then pass out. Basic needs met~ Goodnight, sweet Angel!

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Oh, I thought you meant someone in particular. Not just hangry rage.

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Sleep is also good. Or water. Or food... make sure you're staying regulated on your basic needs!! Text me whenever. Get some rest!!

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

You haven't ruined anything... Erin is... yeah. Probably a good neutral presence. Klara is actually surprisingly good at dealing with people in crisis, but yeah i dunno, she's also not neutral technically.

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Why!! Don't I at least deserve an explanation???

000

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

You're always allowed to have emotions, eff anyone who says otherwise. Bottling is bad for the soul. Go off queen. If you let yourself feel maybe it won't be so intense going forward. I'm still down to explore this, it takes more than something like this to scare me off. I dated Klara, hahah.

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Oi! You! Why won't you battle me!! I demand satisfaction! How dare!! How dare!!

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

me is well, a lot to take in? I don't even know if I'm in love with me, and I've had a couple decades to think that one over. Maybe we have a few more dates or even hangouts or something before we jump to love...? If. Thats okay with you.

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I'm a little overwhelmed by the strength of your feelings for me. I mean we went on one sorta date before my tournament, and then I didn't see you for months. Obviously thats not your fault, I ran away and then you got hospitalized and I had no clue. But. Uh. Jumping from that to being in love with+

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Anyway. My life is messy, and has dumb shit going on all the time, but I promise I'm not going to be mad if one of my friends adds more messiness to that, so, don't worry about that. Now the big part. I think you're very cute, and I like you, and I think we get along really well. I also think+

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

...Okay... this is... this is a lot, Angel... Uhm. Let's just try and slow down. Take it one part at a time? How about that. And breathe. Very important you breathe, girl. Klara and I are exes, we have kind of a residual situation thing going on, but you're not... Klara doesn't care. Or shouldn't+

[Handling this as calmly as they possibly can, trying to avoid their usual explosion of emotion/flight response] Don't apologize. You don't have to apologize. Okay. I'm listening.

You're the first ex that I would ever consider even still speaking to, I dont think that its what exes do. Youre a good friend.

This sounds nice. Okay. Thanks for letting me hash this out.

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

How do people socialize and battle at a professional level and do their hobbies and train for Tour de Kalos and sleep? Asking for a friend

000

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Okay, okay, true... I've never had a good relationship with an ex before so thats kinda throwing me but--Yeah! Okay same! ... I feel so much better. My chest is so much less tight. I think that's all my guard rail questions. Do you have any?

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Okay... yeah. We each reserve the right to refuse if it feels too datey! Cool. What about... hrm. What about deep talk. Like. Emotional crash out moments, or heavy life shit you need advice on, you would either go to a partner or a good friend, but probably not an ex... so is that out?

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Okay so. Okay. I like this! Thats good grounds. But what's a hangout and what's a date? Like. Does there need to be other people, like a party or sumn, or is it just vibes? Like no candlelit dinners, obviously, but. What's the line.

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Well. I don't like that I don't know what I can ask for. Like, booty calls seem fine? But conversations, dates, even hangouts, no clue.

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Okay. Okay. Yeah. This makes sense. [Clearly nervous about throwing out the first pitch, they turn towards their drink and try to casually drink long enough Klara will have to start. Surely.]

100

Terri Schwinn @rotom-powered.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Oh. Uh. Hahh... yeah! Okay. I was really raw at the moment! Pretty livid, I don't remember a lot of what I did in the wake of that loss.
