You people are animals. Love the energy. Keep it UP.

Anyway, Chu-e was FASHIONABLY late.

He was wearing the gaudiest suit he could find, exactly like this amazing Elton John outfit. I was going to draw him in it but didn't. Anyway, he wasn't boring as hell like anyone in a normal suit and tie getup, the light catching on his rainbow rhinestones so he would twinkle like the stars they were all here to watch. The sunglasses were perched on the top of his head, an accessory.

Chu-e also wasn't alone. Not one, but TWO pokemon were with him- Creamy the Lopunny, who was in a sparkling red Jessica Rabbit style dress, her ears styled to the side, and Sprinkles the Skitty, who was held by Creamy. Sprinkles had on a little ruffled cat dress like this one, except pink and cream. The Skitty also had on a little silver crown, because she was adorable.

Anyway, Chu-e was here with his wonderful boyfriend and arm candy .

But it looked like was nearby, so he clicked over to him in his gay little black boots and raised a hand in greeting.

"Hey!" He smiled, a wide grin, and Creamy followed behind him. She huffed lightly and flicked her ears like it was hair.

Too bad was having a good time with .




tldr; chu-e shows up in the gaudiest suit ever with his shiny lopunny and shiny skitty

being led to the dance floor by reminded her of back home and all the times men had led her there. it was nice to be able to choose who she danced with now. with pluto giving a strange salute as he wandered over to the food table in an attempt to get some of the cookies before they were all gone. it was kind of the other woman to ask if she knew how to waltz. it had been a few months since last she had but that didn't mean she had forgotten.

"i've been waltzing since i was very young, it's a popular past time in galar you know." her home. she missed it at times and others she hoped that she would never have to return there. it was difficult. but hoenn was a nice change with freedom abound and adventures aplenty. some of those adventures being a bit scarier than others. but she didn't mind.

Oscar's attention was drawn by a 'Hey' directed toward him, and as he found himself face-to-face with Chu-e he would match the underboss's grin with one of his own. "Well hey there! Was wondering where you were!" Oscar's eyes traveled over to , with whom he was rather unfamiliar with. Well he knew his name at least, but that rarely meant anything these days. Oscar awkwardly raised a hand his way, "Er uh, nice to meet you. Name's Oscar.

While the humans mingled, Darkside's eyes would immediately dart toward Creamy the Lopunny. His eyes did not deceive him, it was the very Lopunny he was hoping to meet here tonight! Darkside suddenly became quite fidgety, extending a small nod of greeting toward the ravishing bunny. Oscar took notice of Darkside's twitching and huffed.

"Don't mind him, he's been a fuckin' weirdo all night. Let's grab some drinks!"

Oscar lead the way, looking for the nearest location to obtain some well deserved alcohol.

I really just want to reiterate that you all are animals.

Anyway, Temp was still right out the gate with .

He wasn't used to wearing a suit. Thinking back, he wasn't sure he even wore one when his parents got married when he was six. There had never been any occasions that warranted it in his life before this. Plus, even if they had, he wouldn't have been able to afford it up until the last few months. This was a strange, tight fitting luxury.

Even if Temp was kind of uncomfortable, he couldn't deny that his boyfriend looked as handsome as ever in his suit.

"Totally weird. Sounds like a flavor of protein shake." They tended to get pretty wild.

Since Gavin wanted to fondle him, Temp snaked a hand up to try and link their hands together. He winked at the other but was wildly out of his element- while normally the vision of confidence, since he had no idea what he was supposed to be doing, it made him kind of bewildered.

"So, what do fancy people do at these things?"

Elaine Highland was not one for parties. She was never the type to mix well with high society. That was not to say she had zero experience. As a young child/teenage detective, she was invited to many a soiree, but she never really acclimated to the mannerisms of high society.

But, the whims of high society were something she knew she had to learn to navigate. If someone as ambitious as her were to move up the ladder of the world, she could not neglect to learn the skill that was meshing with high society.

Even so…

“None of this feels right at all.”

Elaine wasn’t sure whether it was the intro speech she had heard from the host of the event or the fact that people had seemed to coalesce so quickly or perhaps something else, but she could not find herself enjoying the ‘fanciful fantasy’ that had been transpiring before her.

She had been more of a cerebral, lone-wolf type after all.

Or perhaps it was the dress. The black dress with a display of roses on her chest was far too showy for her tastes. The multi-colored hem with translucency only compounded that feeling. The near shoulder-length, translucent black gloves didn’t help either as she crossed her arms underneath her chest and leaned back into a wall.

In retrospect, this dress was all because a certain idiotic friend of hers had told her she had looked pretty and even decided to take a matching photo of himself princess carrying her in it.

“I should have never let him talk me into any of this. When will I learn?”

The girl sighed as she remained against the wall, gazing at the frolicking crowds and dancers strutting across the ballroom.

No matter how much she wanted to try and come up with excuses, be it the proximity to the now occupied Sootopolis, that guy’s persistent pestering, or the need to try and meld with high society for once in her life, she had been the one to bring herself here.

Whether it was finding an opportunity to dance, a chance to drink one of the flutes of champagne that were sitting among the refreshments, or mingling with big shots and practicing her attempts to fish for information that she felt oh so rusty on, she had to do something. It was not like an opportunity would walk up to her, right?

just as fashionably late as their underboss, jayden arrives to the event alongside his friend . for his part, jayden is dressed in a suit tailored by him by his father's people — black silk with a crisp collar, accents of purple, and a cuff-links in the shape of small raven carved into his suit.

[break][break] today is his first public appearance michail volkov, his father's son, the heir to wyndon cross pharmaceuticals. as far as anyone else would know, he had been diligently preparing his master's degree away at sodalite university.

[break][break] as the limo rolled up to the entrance, he glanced at the other.

[break][break] "we're here."

[break][break] he steps off the car and into the venue, assaulted by the sparkle of lights and crowd that makes his throat tighten. it tightens even further at the appearance of across the room. even without his sparkling suit, jayden would've noticed him. he also notices the pretty blond on his arm, and his fingers clutch into his side, taking a breath. the pain pulses, but far less than it ever did before, and he walks across the carpet towards the open bar.

[break][break] his shiny duskull and froslass flutter out from beyond him, dancing towards the center of the room.

[break][break] it's not long before the newly-named beast holds some champagne in his hand, blinking at the appearance of , a fellow beast. "good evening si - " he starts, before clearing his throat. "good evening, oscar."

He hums.

[break][break] "How ominous." He turns to his date, , with his lips curved into a smile, as if telling a secret joke. He hands the now empty glass of champagne over to a passing waiter.

[break][break] The two had arrived not too long ago, in perfect matching fashion. Of course, Caden was never one to disappoint. He wore a black suit that was tailored to fit, the very same one that had dazzled all his interviewers when he had showed up to Lilycove General Hospital. would recognize it; Caden was half-convinced that it was part of the reason for his hire.

[break][break] However it was not the suit that was spectacular, but rather, the way that Caden had chosen to wear it. He wore a dangling star-shaped earring, with matching moon-shaped cuffs. A silver chain dangled from his neck, and a glimmering rolex on his wrist.

[break][break] He'd sent a suit over to as well, in case he wanted to attend the event, though he doubted his brother would've come as stylish. Such was the nature of their relationship, of course.

[break][break] As the crowd parts and music trickles in from the speakers, he offers a hand over to his "date". "Would you charm me with a dance, Ms. Spina?"

the sweet, far thing

[attr=class,mainbulk]
[attr=class,liner]
Luka stands by in a silent reverie while Dr. Holo speaks, entranced not only by the enigmatic host but the finery around her and the twinkling stars overhead. She herself glitters under the light- a vision draped in pastel organza and rustling tulle, a subtle homage to a certain celestial legend from Sinnoh. Roseate hair floats about her like a cloud, set with ribbons and more sparkling accessories. Accompanying her is her Clefable, appropriately enough, the pudgy pink Pokemon sporting a ribbon around one ear and a cute, ruffled dress.[break][break]

She crosses the floor eventually, tugging slightly at the bodice of her dress. It's a bit more low-cut than she's used to, hence the ever-present blush on her freckled cheeks. Though she hasn't arrived with anyone in particular, she's delighted to see a few familiar faces amongst the crowd. There's , her cooking companion, who looks...busy, certainly, dancing by herself. Luka waves but decides not to interrupt. Another smile and bashful wave is aimed towards , who she almost doesn't recognize when- well, when he's actually dressed. He certainly cleans up well. As does , who she thinks she can vaguely spot amongst the crowd. Inspired by the drink in Remiel's hand she decides to head towards the bar, on the hunt for something a little sweet.

[break][break] is nearby, but that sharp face is still shockingly intimidating and she can barely bring herself to squeak out more than a passing 'hello'. Besides, he looks busy- though eventually the two beauties accompanying him depart. Even so, she addresses the bartender instead, ordering herself a cosmopolitan because like, come on. She's hardly the type to take her whiskey neat. The cocktail sparkles inside her glass like a jewel, and she sips it while becoming a mere pair of eyes watching the crowd. When enters she waves yet again, comforted by the fact that she at least knows a few people here. It makes the vastness of the crowd seem that much more bearable- though she's hardly opposed to making new friends on a beautiful night like this.

[attr="class","aofBody"]


”You foolish swinubs. And what exactly is informal about my attire?! Hm?”
[break][break]

That was a while ago.
[break][break]
When Yuna prepared to whirl inside the ballroom before being rudely interrupted at the entrance. The concept of being unladylike bewildered her. Of all the things Yuna Yuhara had been, a woman was completely on top of such hierarchy, a crown jewel amongst the sea of dulled bronze. So, when she was rejected, Yuna merely gave a haughty laugh. ”Oh, you just want to discriminate the more mature ones, don’t you?” she’d spat, leaning closer to the staff who clearly hadn’t got paid enough. ”Well, time runs quick my youthful chickadees. One day, your pretty little heads are going to come to worship your elders.” Her bravado hadn’t worked. As the early birds kept following in, Yuna stormed the other way out.
[break][break]
But now, the woman had returned in full force. Instead of the rather distasteful bodysuit, Yuna entered the ballroom bearing a black and pink ensemble and her once flowing hair neatly into two buns. The advantages of Yuna, were that she always came prepared, no matter the situation. When one needed to be fancy, to be sporty, or whatever persona she needed to get from point a to point b, the Yuhara daughter had a back-up for almost any occasion. Blame her past Rocket ways. Her disguises were merely a natural procedure.
[break][break]
And while many of the guests danced or met with familiar faces, Yuna’s eyes attached directly to the party favours; caring not of whatever percentage the alcohol was. ”Sweet Arceus, oh, how much I needed that!” She bellowed, the taste of wine running straight to her stomach. ”It looks like it isn’t only just your special day, my dearest Whiskers,” she cooed down to her Litleo, still drinking as she’d done so, ”Mommy is going to be here for a while now. Run along, do whatever you must with the night. And remember: whoever looks to have the biggest wallet, bring them to me. Would you?" Yuna chuckled, watching the cub howl and trail off into the busy bodies. It was no surprise that most of Hoenn’s Elite were here. Catching their attention would only be a bonus to all the free commodities she came here for.
[break][break]
With more sips of her drink, Yuna purred her sounds of pleasure, standing around the tables as if it was the only entertainment. Her glasses went from one to the next, stopping every cocktail waiter and waitress she could find, having finished with her last each time one passed by.
[break][break]
“Cheers. For Dr. Holo's... em,” hm, something about a dream? she only ever heard the muffled voice from the entrance, ”Oh, it doesn’t matter. Yoohoo! Waiters! I need another one! Hmph. The size of these things is never enough.”




+ TL;DR: yuna comes in late thanks to breaking the dress code (out of tackiness, probably). she sends her litleo off to attract anyone interesting to bring back, while she’s busy drinking away all the liquor she can find. open to interactions. 😔 pardon her mess.

A NIGHT THAT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD



TONIGHT, Fernando commits their names to memory. Giselle, who had been a ranger on the Mount Chimney excursion, was nothing more than a fleeting name on a report for him. Likewise, Eylyssa, who he had encountered in Slateport is soon forgotten among the myriad of acquaintances Fernando has to shuffle through in his daily life.

Here, dressed to the nines, kissed by an elegance of scarlet, he deliberately burns their face into his memory. Their name is saved in his short term, mentally repeating it until it sticks.

Indeed, Miss Kay. How can I not when surrounded by two stunning beauties?” He opts for the humble route, twisting her praise into another compliment directed between the two of them.

I’m not much of a dancer but if you insist, I’ll oblige.

He nods as Eylyssa escorts Giselle away.

Miss Authier, Kay. Enjoy yourselves, ladies.

Saving face is an essential part of his social upbringing. It may come off a bit heavy but considering Fernando’s background and reputation, it paints a different picture than most would surmise. Such rigidness is only on the outside, in his physical appearance. Sweet words and kind intentions reveal someone much more well mannered than the tabloids gossip about.

When they’re out of earshot, he takes another sip. Kills it, actually, unable to bear through the grit of prolonging the burn when he can end it all at once.

A cursory glance makes it hard not to catch those who go against the grain. For the males, Fernando opinion on their suits are more or less the same. They’re all spiffy, to some degree, but the similarity between them is too hard to notice a difference other than color.

Only and really catch his eye, sporting much more unique outfits in comparison. He’s indifferent about it, as with most trivial matters, but notes their location. The fact near Chu-e does not go amiss. Maybe he’ll pay him a visit later on.

A meek ‘hello’ catches snips him from the side as his eyes follow the curtail of ’s dress. The colors prove vexing, bright and ambient, with the occasional peek of skin.

He joins her, not for her company, but to follow up with another drink. He sets his empty glass on the counter, wiping his hands clean of the condensation on a nearby napkin.

It takes a few minutes for his own cocktail to be served and he notices her lack of initiative. “You’re not going to join them?” His eyes make it obvious he’s talking about those on the dance floor.

He just barely catches the the backside of working her way toward meeting . It takes deliberate effort to stop his eyes from narrowing, instead, diverting his eye contact to .

The pain doubles and muscles burn. A faint wisp of MISTY TERRAIN curls around his neck like a secondary collar.

TL;DR:

- compliments and @giselle one last time before they leave
- agrees to dance with them later if they can find him
- notices and for their 'unique' outfits
- spots near ; might visit later
- joins in grabbing another drink
- asks her why she's not going to dance like everyone else
- spots and
- his arm hurts and MISTY TERRAIN accessorizes him

"Hm?" [break][break] Luka jolts slightly when she's addressed. The deep voice of makes her instinctively stand up straighter, like a child being addressed by their teacher. [break][break]

"Oh...I will eventually, I'm sure," she says with a casual wave of her hand. "There's plenty of time for it, after all! And anyways..." Well, she doesn't have a partner. But rather than admit to that, she gestures down at her Clefable. "I'd like to look after her a bit longer before running off. Make sure she can handle herself, you know? She's a bit shy." Indeed, the Clefable is halfway concealed by the gauzy fabric of Luka's skirt, peeking up at the Silph head with her beady little eyes.[break][break]

"And actually..." Luka purses her lips after another sip of her cocktail- it's on the stronger side, but she doesn't mind it. Desensitizing yourself to the taste of raw vodka is just another girly thing! "Settle a debate for me?" Careful not to spill her drink, she does a little twirl. Organza swirls about her, and her thigh jewelry twinkles. "My friend says this looks too much like, um...like cosplay, she admits with a sheepish laugh. "What do you think?" [break][break]

A NIGHT THAT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD



HER EXCUSES ARE MEANINGLESS BEFORE HIM. While brilliant in his own right, Fernando’s obliviousness to certain social cues means he shoot straight to the point. The whole gimmick about her Clefairy is solved in a single sentence.

Why don’t you just bring her with you?

He points at a few couples in particular. and his Garedvoir, and her Gallade; two Hoenn staples in the field of humanoid Pokemon.

He finds the time to shoot another gulp when Luka presents her question and demonstration. As far as he sees, it’s a wonderful dress, fascinating in the sense the colors don’t match the night sky but the way her jewelry shines still reminds him of stars.

Cosplay?” He tilts his head, as if he doesn’t understand the comparison. “How so?



TL;DR:

- oblivious as to why she's making excuses
- suggests she brings her clefairy out to dance
- points to and as examples of people dancing with pokemon
- isn't sure why her friend would compare it to cosplay

"you sure you're ready for this?"

it's a little too soon for his liking but he understands the need for distractions. this soiree provides one in a public setting that's relatively safe, and it allows him to keep close enough to her should something go wrong.

perhaps he's being a little too cautious.

"you still have the pager i gave you, yeah?"

just in case she needs him, he's just a simple page away, but he's sure will be on top of things. she just seems like the type.

with a sigh, he extends an arm out towards her, then gestures into the broad ballroom that awaits them.

"whenever you're ready. you look beautiful tonight, by the way."

both and are certainly dressed for the event, as is he; the only thing that's missing is a tie. his shirt remains unbuttoned at the collar, but his kubfu makes up for it with a smart-looking bowtie around his neck.

[attr=class,bulk][break] talks to the girls near the bar and moves away, only to come back with one still in his company. Derek already finished his second drink, ordering a third that is promptly delivered. Though not without a remark that he can't order another until at least an hour passes by...

[break][break]

"Cosplay, huh?" He leans past Fernando from where he stands to look to at , the apparent beauty he was talking to. Her Clefable goes unnoticed for a moment, only looking for it because he'd heard a shy pokemon being mentioned while eavesdropping. "Not so sure about that, but I wouldn't care - so long as you look great and feel great, right?"

[break][break]

Guzzling the drink and slapping it down on the counter, Derek's lagging sense of respect for boundaries finally catches up. "Sorry for butting in. I'm gonna go now. Your Clefable is free to join us if they'd like. We don't bite, Fernando here can vouch for that."

[break][break]

Pacing off towards the dance floor, Derek let Jonesy down from his shoulder to begin performing a synchronized dance his little sister must've rehearsed with it a thousand times. Somehow their movements managed to line up to some extent with the classical music being played. Must've been the alcohol making him vibe to it subconsciously. He had no clue what it was they were playing. C'est la vie.

Lex hasn’t seen Killian this excited about something in quite some time. It’s not only the prospect of dressing up and getting out on the town, but a possible breakthrough on his continued hunt. He’d been obsessing over space as of late, especially after their successful heist at this very Space center. The strange timing of the meteor shower proved interesting indeed.

The thief’s interest in all of this is minimal. It extends only as far as is needed to support Killian. Attending a fancy soiree full of League officials was not her idea of a good time. Having spent a bit of time in their custody, she fears some may recognize her. Well, maybe not all dressed up like this.

Her dress is simple, but it’s probably the fancies thing worn in quite a long time perhaps ever. Their line of work didn’t necessarily have elegant events such as this. A part of her is nervous, worried she won’t blend in. The tensions fade when he gently squeezes her hand, unintentionally calming the storm. Lex had barely paid the introduction any attention. Suddenly it’s over and Killian’s arm is wrapped around her waist, tugging her somewhere.

She follows, of course. He leads her out onto the dancefloor without much choice. She wouldn’t have said no, anyway, “A dance? she smiles up at him, placing her left hand on his shoulder as she spin to face him. The ring catches the light just right, distracting her with a brilliant sparkle before she turns her attention back to him, “I don’t think I’m very good at dancing,” hopefully he’s a good lead.
