MIDNIGHT MUSEUM [NEN]

While Luka and Eris were busy solving the riddle and fixing everything in the breakroom, Thomas continued to feel more and more like the proverbial wet blanket. There's a sharp belch of static and then the music quiets.

The reprieve is only momentary, as seconds later every bulb in the place explodes. Thomas doesn't startle, but he does tuck his head, covering 's slight frame with the curve of his upper body, boots crunching on the newly scattered glass shards. He's had about enough of this.

He goes when Locke leads him, though his pace is more crisp and less of a maddened, fear-driven scramble. They reconvene with the girls in the breakroom.

"A Polteageist?" he asks, having caught the snippets of the conversation on the air. "Of course, that's what would be causing all this chaos. The ghost of old tea."

At the end of his patience, he calls forth his Aggron, who emerges in a clanging of metal sound, feeding off of her trainer's discomfort and eager to scrap with whatever might be present.

[attr="class","thadmain"]Thomas’ chuckle rumbled through his chest. “Never you mind that,” he soothed, allowing himself to be led. “I’ve been stepped on by heavier feet than yours.”

He hadn’t suffered through countless years of high society Galarian education to not know how to waltz well enough to account for a rusty partner.

He allows himself the finer points of the motions: the pausing of the fingertips against the stranger’s hand, the gentle brush of his palm against the outer curve of a hip. Nothing untoward inasfar as a waltz would go.

“I shall keep my eyes peeled,” he promised, quiet, before the music picked up, “for periwinkle hair and fickle airs.”

Though he found his Ser Stranger's eyes to be far more inviting than any pompous painter.

He just hoped his leg would hold steady. Molly held his cane and watched concernedly from the sidelines.

[attr="class","thadmain"]Thomas gathered the man was attempting to sus his identity from what brief snippets of information were available-- a decidedly difficult task, given his near-hermitlike habits and penchant to not be seen in private company.

He did have beautiful eyes.

Molly traded a knowing look with the Florges, a sort of semi-pained, semi-affectionate glance that conveyed all the shared knowledge of being stuck at such an event with a pair of shrinking violets. I know your pain, girlfriend.

“Not have shown up?” Thomas asked, the inclination of his head compounding the level of his surprise where his hidden eyebrows could not. “To the party of the century? Certainly not, I would think. Here.” He sits down in a stool adjacent to , giving the stranger the luxury of the seat between, should his mysterious date-non-date show up. “What does he look like? Tall or short? Hair color? Is he liable to dress up or down? We can narrow down our options.”

It was like competitive people watching-- turning something innocent into a sport, a game. There was nothing Galarians liked to do more. No wonder he was so excited.

[attr="class","thadmain"]One would never imagine it from looking at him, but Thomas was quite the accomplished dancer.

On good days, when his pain was low, he’d been one of the most pined-after, devilishly handsome, rakish suitors in all of the Galarian societal circulate. He had not suffered through years of etiquette education to come away with nothing.

The problem was, the older he got, the fewer good days he had. And, since he’d arrived in Hoenn, he’d had almost none. This was the second edge of the sword they always spoke about; certainly, his employers had hoped to get a few more good years out of him before taking him out back like an old racehorse.

Still, he so rarely got the chance to dress up anymore…

…and so it was that Thomas arrived at the Gala, fashionably late and far behind any news coverage that might announce his presence. He had, in fact, scoped the locale and find a trail of Mime-adjacents heading in and out through a particular doorway; this is the route by which he entered, cutting a short path through the kitchens to emerge near the bar.

He was dressed simply, but expensively, in a well-fitted black suit with a gray, embroidered greatcoat overtop; his mask, silver and hewn into the shape of a hawk’s beak; his cane was black and tipped in silver fleur de lis, and, for once, fit in quite well.

The smell and sounds of the ball took him back. He wondered how the Hoennites effectuated dance cards, though he had no intentions of dancing; he would, perhaps, like to find the marchioness of celebrations and pass along his compliments, enjoy a fine beverage, and people watch. All facets of his profession, though frequently overlooked.

He finds himself, through the push and shift of the crowd, brought into orbit of a young man with a spring-fresh visage… though the thunderstorm of exhaustion, so hinted at by Molly (who perched on his arm with oogling eyes as though he were her chaperone for the season, and not the other way around), that clouded the air around him came off quite contradictory to such.

“Looking for someone?” Thomas asked, as he sipped his drink. “I’m quite proficient at wallflowering. Perhaps I can help you look?”

“Ah. Indeed.”

Thomas comes a bit closer so he can peer at the Pallossand, as well, through unimpressed, half-lidded eyes.

“You couldn’t have waited a few more moments so I could prove my point?” he calls, facetiously angry, as it slides away.

This time Helena has startled a Farfetch’d through the window. It swings its leek at her, squawking angrily each time the weapon passes through her miasmic body to no effect. Eventually, she backs it up against the wall and Thomas zaps it with a Pokeball.

“Care to explore together, for a bit? I am having much better luck than I was by myself.”

“It’s a rather new viewpoint on things, from what I’ve gathered,” Thomas said with a wry smile and a shrug of his shoulders. “I had colleagues who absolutely forbid students water during two-hour lectures. At that point, I’ll admit I don’t know how much of it is focused on learning and how much of it is focused on exercising control.”

He cleared his throat as they came to the crest of a small rock pool, filled with salt ice-melt. A pearly white head poked out of the water and gazed at them. Molly waved a hand and the Dewgong drifted off to sleep, allowing Thomas to zap it with a Pokeball.

There was a mutual spark of recognition between the men. “Ah! Yes, I know Jethro. We co-chaired a lectern on ethics in journalism at one point. Very shrewd man.” His voice colored with fondness. “Though I fear he found me rather… conceptualist, at times. More fiction than fact. I suppose that’s why he’s a journalist and I’m a philosopher.”

Molly notes the newcomer before Thomas does, tracing them out of her peripherals while not taking her eyes off her trainer, lest he fall and die and thus ruin all her hard work. Thomas’ instincts kick in shortly after and he turns, noting the faint glow of lavender hair in the light from a close-passing meteorite.

“Out for an evening stroll?” his voice is a low, gentle timbre in the night.

Something rumbles close by and sends rocky debris scattering down the mountainside. Thomas digs his cane into the grit and braces himself, but Molly is faster, sending the Coalossal down with a blast of hypnosis. The beast groans as it topples, and Thomas zaps it with a Pokeball before it can completely fall.

Thomas afforded the man a warm chuckle. “Neither have I, I’m afraid.” Helena makes an affronted grunt, to which Thomas shrugs. “What? You’re a known entity. Not nearly so interesting. But quite a lot of fun.”

This seems to placate the Mismagius, who spies something intriguing out a window and fades away with a nasty chuckle.

“Oh, well,” Thomas says, wrapped in a bealaguered sigh, “perhaps it is true what they say and the real ghosts have been inside us all along. And sometimes, they win.”

To punctuate this extremely profound and not at all stolen from Stephen King quote, a Swellow crashes through a dilapidated window, squawking with fear as it hits the wall and falls. Helena hovers in its wake, cackling madly.

Thomas rolls his eyes and zaps it with a Pokeball.

Another meteorite cut a swathe through the night sky above the apex of the mountain-- a beautiful, harrowing sight. Thomas could certainly see why folk of old thought these to be extraplanar beings, harbingers of doom or good fortune in equal turn.

He was as much a fan of the stars as anyone should be, given they were an amazing feat of chance; the odds of everything lining up so perfectly for their world to be the only one capable of life were one in a million. He’d argued many sides of the philosophy of existence for some time now and it never ceased to amaze him.

Molly was less amazed, judging by how she frowned when his foot slipped on a loose stone and he almost pitched over, righting himself by sheer, dumb luck. The Gardevoir tossed her head and rolled her eyes, beleagueredly carrying on after her foolish trainer.
