of course he wouldn't take no as an answer. [break][break]

though their time meeting was short, first impressions last, and she's slightly exasperated at all his energy. instead, she sighs and accepts her fate at the hands of this casino dealer. "alright, you win" she shrugs, going along with his movements until she's seated down. glass, pink eyes glare towards the table, then towards where she assumed the other dealer.[break][break]

in a swift motion, she crosses one leg over the other, and she leans forwards and towards the table with an elbow on her knee, and resting her cheek against the palm of her hand. the smile tugs at her lips, as she glances downwards to the table. "one or two games, no more. then i have to get back to my job~" her tone is nonchalant when she moves her other hand to flip her ponytail behind her shoulders. [break][break]

"what game are we playing?"

she doesn't come here for the games; she comes here for the games.[break][break]

the mind games, to be exact. all night she's been more occupied with currying favour of the people around her, using the alluring perfume she's made by detoxifying her salazzle's aphrodisiac venom. she didn't have to move much; just had to cling to a man's arm, distract and whisper sweet nothings long enough for the dealer to perform their sleight of hand. it was easy money. shameful money, but easy. [break][break]

her heels click below her, and she shrugs her shoulders. "mmn.. no~" her eyelids open, revealing the artificial eyes that instinctively glare in the direction of a man's voice. she hums "don't think i'd be winning much of anything, honestly~"

so she was to play matchmaker? no problem. [break][break]

unlike her poor partner here, she knew the best recipe for this kind of work, especially seeing that her perfumes worked best on pokemon, since the scents came from pokemon to begin with. hell, if it'll work on a human, who's to say that it won't work on a few pandas? [break][break]

se still has to wonder what the pokemon breeders were getting paid for if they couldn't solve this problem of theirs. they're approaching and as they walk, her ears perk up and she mulls over the question posed. "well, i have a salazzle, don't i?" she tilts her head back, pondering towards the sky with both eyes closed. "i think i have the perfect solution for this, too~."

thank the heavens that she had a spritzee helping her navigate, otherwise she'd become like humpty dumpty and splat onto the ground numerous times. still, the breeze up here is nice, and she cannot deny that it's a pleasant feeling. a shame she can't take in the city sights, like the guy who dragged her up here. [break][break]

still, she's spiteful at how he asks her such an obvious question "nah, i'm definitely good." she rolls her eyes (a habit she never broke as a child, when the light met her eyes) before she ultimately holds her hand out in front of her. "no shit i need some help. if i didn't have jay helping me out, i'd probably break like a cracked exeggcute~." she says this in a lighter tone with a smile on her lips.

this guy was filled with great ideas. [break][break]

make a blind girl go diving, then make her bake? hilarious. if only she could laugh about it. it's honestly ridiculous and absurd, but when has she punished creativity? so rather than pushing him away, she's let him in after he unceremoniously welcomes himself into her humble (not so humble) abode. [break][break]

though her ears perk up as she's lounging on her couch, and she tilts her head slightly to say "bold of you to assume i know where it is." her lips curl into a smile, and her coy tone leaks through it "bold of you to assume i cook, altogether. god damn~." he has his expectations up too high. [break][break]

following that, the sound of a pokeball popping open can be heard. out comes a salazzle who slithers her way into the kitchen, snooping around to find just exactly what he was looking for. "you're better off asking her about where things are kept. i couldn't tell you even if i wanted to~."

music is one thing she likes - at least it's a form of art she's able to appreciate. if she can't appreciate the presentation of art, then she'll appreciate the sounds that somehow come together into a harmony. [break][break]

though maybe she'll make do without all the belting and screaming that came from others in the form of singing into the microphone. they aren't bad per say - they just weren't better than her, which is a shame. what a damn shame. though feeling a nudge, she instinctively glances over to where a man sits with bright, artificial hues of pinkish-red. her lips curl into a smile. [break][break]

"of course i do" she shrugs "that's because i do~" a chuckle escapes her lips after her display of arrogance. well deserved, she'll say. "what about you, though?" she asks, quirking a brow "don't tell me, you want to use me as a scapegoat to escape your turn?~"

take the blind girl diving. that's a great idea. [break][break]

she'll have to fire who came up with such a ridiculous idea, yet here she was, struggling after putting the wetsuit on. it was uncomfortable, even though she was already wearing a swimsuit underneath. she tries to pinch at it, and sighs before starting to move around. she may as well get used to it. [break][break]

she uses the sound of a sigh guide her though, instead of hopping into the boat, she slowly lowers herself upon the deck, legs dangling against the inner wall of the boat as she rests her chin against the palms of her hands. "don't sound so happy, there."

the best thing about all of this is the fact that she can't see what she's missing out on. [break][break]

she can hear, and she can smell perfectly fine. unfortunately for the stall employees, she's one of the people who doesn't eat more than once or twice in a day (only because she spends more time concocting as many potions and perfumes she can, blessed be that she can satisfy her stomach with a little whiff of good food). she's walking with her companion who seems more than eager to chow on the food, and he even offers some. [break][break]

but she shakes her head, waving her hand dismissively as the pikachu mascot ears bounce over her head "nah, i'm good." she wears a smile, eyes closed "not really hungry, so you go nuts~."

oh? cocky, was he? [break][break]

she can deal with cocky. [break][break]

hearing the confidence, she gives a smile and blinks her artificial eyes. she doesn't bother to glance around, though the aron in her arms seems restless as she reaches out to grasp at the chair, tugging it out so she can properly seat herself across. her ears, however, perk up before she tilts her head. "hm? ohh, you mean aaron here?~" her eyes move to glance down instinctively, where the steel dog should be sitting in her lap. usually, she wouldn't be able to carry him. and she could tell him what she's doing, but where's the fun in that?[break][break]

"yeah, he's my own workout routine. aren't you, aaron?~" the pokemon clanks a bit, letting out a little whistle of joy. how endearing. [break][break]

the woman crosses a leg over the other, raising the small, steel pokemon on the table (and he barely makes a sound, with how light he's made himself with autotomize), then she rests her elbow against the table, then resting her chin against her palm. "so, concocted a plan in that pretty head of yours? i got an appointment i don't wanna miss."

an easy mission, she thinks. [break][break]

thankfully, rocket was always accommodating to their little snake, so she got herself a verbal briefing and, with thanks to some psychic pokemon, she was able to get a good idea of what they were looking to snag, and where she was supposed to meet her partner. they're meant to look for gemstones and valuables, so she'll trust her gut, and her salazzle to do the work for her. [break][break]

and so, using her sense of personal space and her aron as her own little alert, she's able to make it to the supposed meeting spot - not too far away from their target. the aron softly clanks about in her arms, letting out soft cries of excitement acting as her eyes. "oh, we're here already?" she asks the little steel.. dog? she'll assume it's like a dog. [break][break]

there's no point lowering her sunglasses over her eyes to get a better look, so she walks around the outdoor tables, guided by the aron until his little head bonks her arm as a signal to stop. "hey there~" the woman gives a smile, "so sorry i'm a little late. never been to this part of town~."
