"Hello! My name is Mr. Briney and I own that boat out there. What's that? You want to travel? Of course! Tell me where you want to go below with a brief 50 words."
[attr="class","sv3"] This is a candied world, and it spreads like fire. When it devours me I call the burning 'fun', but I never really was the purist one. Though I try to cleanse my soul with every sun. And I just get deeper in the same shit but doesn't everyone? Close my eyes and play along.
He enters light on his feet spotting the old man in his home. "Sorry to intrude sir, but I was hoping I could get a ride to dewford, I heard the fish are really biting there this time of year would you mind if I caught a ride with you?"
"Hello?" Syndra felt awkward walking into an old man's home and asking for a favor but this was the most suggested method to get to Dewford or Slateport. Spotting the old man she swallowed her pride, "I'd like to catch a ride to Dewford if you would be so kind."
However, the only way to get there was to go across the ocean. Thankfully, Mr. Briney, some random ass old man, had a ferry service available. With Scar safely secured in his Pokemon (because Arceus knew that a eight foot tall Gliscor could not fit on a regular-sized boat), Basil approached the elder and dipped his head down in a short, respectful nod. "Can you take me to Dewford Town please?"

"Look man, I'm really poor and there's this shindig going down in Slateport. I hear you like sailing, so would you mind giving me a lift?" He clutched at Broski and almost wanted to shove the poor swinub into Mr. Briney's face to overwhelm him with the cuddly thing, but thought better of it. Dmitri could see a frantic wingull flying around the room with a sort of mindless glee. At least I know he likes pokemon.
"Maybe one day I can repay the favor? I really need to get there by tomorrow, sir!" Acting the beggar didn't suit Dmitri well, but it was out of necessity rather than any sort of preference towards such ends. I'll have to make a run for the trains if this doesn't work out... He wondered if he should've just started jogging there in the first place. This old man better pan out for Dmitri, otherwise he was in some trouble. Why else would he keep a boat? A seavworthy vessel sat outside his little bungalow and it seemed like a miracle.
The two boys quickly made there way to the dock. "We just about made it" Usa yelled. The last time his brother saw him this excited was the day before they received their first Pokemon. The time before that, well, let's just say it was a very very long time ago.
Usa's eyes gleamed with excitement. His head shifted from left to right as he searched the many faces of trainers that also needed a ride to Slateport. His brother watched him dumbfounded. It seemed their roles/personalities were reversed momentarily. Even though Risu was just as excited, and the fact that a huge grin was plastered on his face was proof of that, for some reason he was less inclined to be as animated as his brother. This was certainly an unusual sight. Maybe their travels together have caused a bit of their personalities to rub off on each other.
Usa weaved through the crowd and made his way to the front. His hand held up, he yelled: "My brother and I would like a ride to Slateport please!"

"Hello?~" Tap. Tap. Tap. Three quick knocks and Alastor would find out if this Mr. Briney was as old as most suggested, and if he would even take him on a trip to begin with. Many times over he had questioned asking a complete stranger for help, but the hours grew shorter and the summer solstice was almost upon them.
"Sir, Mr. Briney, please! I need to make it to Slateport pronto, there's a party and I'm going to miss out if I don't get there tonight!~" Sometimes making his voice sound funny made people trust him a little more, so Al spared no expense in speaking like some silly child with nothing but a happy face. The old man would answer, if the footsteps he heard were genuine.

A series of loud knocks before the door opened, a kindly old man looking out from behind it. "Hello, nice to meet you Mr. Briney. I was actually looking for a ride..." He stood just outside the door, pointing out towards the docked ship. "If you could please take me to Slateport City, I'd be indebted to you. There is an event going on there for trainers, and needless to say I have to be there." With determination in his eyes, it was likely the elderly man would not defy Sylvester's wishes.
"ummm is mr. briney here?" evan called from outside the house as he knocked on the door. it was kind of weird to ask someone for a ride that he barely knew. "a friend and i would like to go to slateport. can you help us?"
[attr="class","rbtxtbr2"]Bunny entered the tiny house, knocking a few times on the open door as her eyes traveled around the room. They soon landed on the form of an elderly man chasing and playing with his wingull.
"Oh! Um, excuse me?"
The man didn't seem to notice her. Stepping closer, bunny asked with a louder tone, "Excuse me?"
Once she finally got the man's attention, a blush filled her face. "I-I'm sorry to interrupt, but I've heard you give rides to Slateport.... Do you think I could catch one?" She looked to the ground, kicking lightly at the hardwood floors in embarrassment for intruding on the gentelman.

THESE ARE THE DAYS
WHEN I HATE THE WORLD
HATE THE RICH, HATE THE HAPPY, HATE THE COMPLACENT. TV WATCHERS, BEER DRINKERS, THE SATISFIED ONES. BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN BE ALL THOSE LITTLE HATEFUL THINGS AND THEN I HATE MYSELF FOR REALIZING THAT. BE SAFE, BE SAFE.

Darius sighed, he was done training on route 104, he was sick of traveling forward by land towards shittier towns he decided it'd be best to go somewhere far far away. "I'll get on this old dudes boat, I heard he takes people places." Darius muttered trudging over to the boat with a frown. "Take me to Slateport City, now." He demanded and entered the boat. Darius sighed walking over to the boats railing, in the distance he saw another male walk towards the boat smiling oh so happily.
Dylan was a bit late on schedule, no problem though, fashionably late right? Right. He quickly walked into Mr.Briney's house with a simple request. "May you please take me to Slateport City?" He asked with a bow, and quickly hopped onto the boat to stand next to Darius. "Hi there! My name's Dylan!"
"Fuck you Dylan." "O-oh. . .ok, nice meeting you too."
andrea trotted into the small looking home, eager to make her way up to slateport and get what she needed to do done.
"yo," she greeted.
the weather was good, and the girl intended to take advantage of the clear skies and warm climate. it was time to sail.
"i need a lift to slateport."
inwardly, she was all kinds of excited. slateport is where she had to meet up with her main bro. they had big plans, and she had to be there to fulfill her portion of it.
hat firmly on her head and the sea breeze picking up on her jacket, nat peered into the house, greeting peeko aka the best bird ever with a friendly pet on the head. "hey, mr briney! if you're headed out, could you get me on a ride to slateport?" she was glad he didn't mind! what would she do without the most helpful mr briney and the most perfect bird ever?
Sam had to get to Slateport, and kind of fast at that. He signed up for some type of formal there? He honestly wasn't too sure as to why he decided to sign up for it but hey it might be a bit of fun. Or he might be able to find some type of clue to where Ai went...doubtful but hey whatever motivates you motivates you right?
Not wanting to waste anytime at all Sam would head right on into Mr. Briney's house. Looking around at the inside of the house before blurting out "I'd like to take a trip to Slateport."
he runs up to the briney house, because he's going to be late to the formal and nothing's going right, like it usually does. cain clutches the door and peeks in, there's already a couple people here asking for a ride to slateport. "hey uh, can i come with, too?"
