after the one, two, three that lance so happily takes, he doesn't even care about what might think. all he cares about is allowing his anger to come out in the nastiest of ways. in this case, it's taking one final swing at .[break][break]

after, realizing they've attracted attention and his mask had fallen off and is now here, he steps away, turning to make his way out of there.[break][break]

a "fuck off," is exchanged when he bumps into someone but he continues on whether it be out of the museum or the balcony, anywhere is better than being subjected to watch this pity party between and .[break][break]

they're almost completely oblivious to their wet clothes and when bo rounds on her, she expects that to be it, but she flinches away when lance's fist comes in for one last punch. and before she can get a word in otherwise, lance is shoving away from the both of them, swearing under his breath, and willow is left feeling as though she has done something very, very wrong. 

her lip trembles. her brows knit and she's thankful for the mask hiding the angry flush in her cheeks. the anger and the disbelief are constricted by choking fear at the stranger before her, lip busted and eyes dark. 

if she says something, she won't be able to stop because the thump-thump-thumping in her chest is a beast that wants out. they already have a crowd, but it's the attendant that rushes over to clean up the spill that finally breaks her out of her angry stare. 

she shakes her head and stalks past him to go find lance.

actions speak louder than words; ollie had gently reminded her of that the first night bo came back, when she thought maybe bo would uphold all of her promises. and here? now? his sorry doesn't mean anything.

Though for just a moment, the redhead almost apologizes in the lie, she holds firm. She's trying her best to keep herself steady with , trying her best to nod quickly, as he takes his leave. Though with that cute chuckle, and his walking past them, she immediately deflates.

That. Was. AWFUL.

The stranger with the beautiful dress ( ) behind her happened to take care of it the rest of the way, and as she too even apologizes for Genevieve's awkward spot, she throws her hand out. "Not a worry! I'm here to help, and if that means keeping you protected, I will do so!" She gives a curtsy, a giggle matching Luka's laughter.

When she asks for a dance, Genny's eyes light up, only for her to hold out a happy hand in acceptance.

"It would be my honor, my lady!" Even as the exhibits were coming to life, Genny had no intention to miss out! Maybe it was the number of drinks, but she felt exuberant in the fact that someone such as her would even offer a chance! Genny had to take it! She was a beautiful woman! Who would dare deny that?

tl;dr:
- Genny is happy she protected Luka, but sad for Remiel
- Genny accepts the offer to dance with Luka!
- So long as she would like, for Prompt 7!

the silence was loud. to see walk off was gutting. he was left more dizzy than he had been from being punched in the head. one thing was certain: he had forgotten his all-important p’s and q’s. in fact, he had forgotten every letter, thrown the board, and proclaimed, ’fuck this game.’ but this game was his life, so what now?

he didn’t want to think about what he’d just done, or anything else for that matter. anger and hurt building again, he hurried off in the other direction, avoiding eye contact with anyone in a quick retreat. mission abandoned. best of luck to all.


tldr:
- avoiding eye contact on his way to the exit

amor was good at this. velda did her best to keep up, letting her experiences guide her, though carried much more by the lead of a very skilled partner. she made it to the dip with a laugh, finally feeling her feet catch up with her again.[break][break]
”well done, mr. rose!” she applauded once he’d pulled her back up. ”i had no idea you had that in you! and not a step out of place—but you know how good you are, please.”[break][break]
meanwhile, louis peered up at tall ms. assistant’s peculiar gold eyes. ditto hands, transformed to be rather human as the rest, slipped into her own. finally, a dance partner. and she was lovely![break][break]

[FOLLOWING THE EVENTS OF GOOD QUEEN JOY]
[break][break]

With the opening of the exhibits, the music abated for a moment, and Elisabeth fondly took her leave of and lest she occupy either too long for the evening.[break][break]

Pleasant companions as they were, she had no desire to be a third wheel for them all night.[break][break]

Her heels clacked against the dance floor as she departed the ballroom, her emerald eyes sweeping the interior of the Hall of Geology, Gems, & Minerals with keen interest. It was the METENO exhibit that ultimately caught her attention, and Elisabeth ventured closer to 's loaned crystals, staring at the glittering meteorite beneath the display glass.[break][break]

"Breathtaking, aren't they?" she murmured to no one in particular, leaning closer to inspect the gleaming shards.[break][break]

How strange, to think such a beautiful thing had nearly killed them all. It was a sobering thought amidst the haze of so much champagne, and Elisabeth blinked away the darker realizations that sought to cloud a night otherwise pleasant with music and merriment.[break][break]

Distracted and alone here as she was, it would be easy to catch her unawares.

With Josh starting to sweat from his tap dancing that got a bit faster than he expected, thanks largely to the high tempo of 's music, he needed a break. He yielded his position on the floor to another couple and started wandering the museum's grounds, his Manectric-masquerading-as-Raikou at his side once again. With the exhibits in the back more exciting to the Gym Leader than the dance floor itself, he wandered toward them. Thank goodness there was a lot to do; if it was just a dance night, he would have been bored out of his mind until clients needing a ride home came to him for help!

The HALL OF GEOLOGY, GEMS, AND MINERALS caught the racer's eye. It was full of Terastal gems and crystals, not unlike the tiny, feather-shaped gem partially hidden beneath the Raikou mask Saber wore. There were TERA JEWELS and TERA SHARDS of many varieties on display, each labeled to indicate what Tera Type they would bestow to a Pokémon that utilized one. "This is...impressive that got this together in such a short amount of time," he tapped his yellow, plastic sword against the case as he took mental notes. "I'll have to congratulate her on this next--"

Before he could finish the conversation with himself, he almost stepped on the gorgeous, white dress of , who was also studying the exhibit nearby. It was only a warning bark from the Manectric that possibly saved them both from tripping over one another. "Excuse us! I'm so sorry!" he apologized to the masked woman.

Andres isn't one to savor his liquor. He's a party boy, downing shots of grog with shots of other grog to chase away the taste of the first. So it takes him a minute to settle on something strong enough. The bartended gives him a tall glass of something bright green at the top, and purple at the bottom. A spiraling orange peel and a pretty straw decorate the glass. It looked powerful enough. He sips, getting a small shiver at the sweet and sour flavor. "Good shit." he said, still crass despite the atmosphere. The bartender doesn't seem to care. [break][break]

His eyes shift to Onyx as he felt their shoulders touch. "What's not to like?" He asked offering to swap drinks. He wanted to taste Onyx's. His voice drops a little, being secretive for once. Probably, still trying to mind his manners in such a nice party. "Nobody can tell who anybody is, right? Everybody's busy here or in that new exhibit..." he trails off with a shrug, but it's clear his thoughts are wandering elsewhere. The more perverted of uses of an oversized, empty building with many nooks and crannies to get lost in. He bumps Onyx knowingly, eyes narrowed and mask hiding a tell tale grin. [break][break]

"Anyway, wanna check out the tera crystal exhibit? Or are you waiting for me to ask you to dance?"

He just chuckled a bit, and underneath his cool exterior he felt a bit awkward at the praise. Amor rarely got the chance to dance, or show off his other hobbies. Mentally composing himself so he didn't bumble like an idiot.

"Well it is not often that I have such a capable partner worth showing off for." He smiled at her brightly for a moment. It was hard to not feel a little swell of pride in his chest at the compliment, despite how hard he tried to keep it down. "I do appreciate the compliment though, it is true that while I attend events. Not all of them have a way for me to cut loose like this." Realizing his rambling he felt a slight blush that was thankfully hidden by the mask. Clearing his throat for a moment. "Anyways....How has business been for you? Any interesting new types of clothing I should be on the look out for?" This was probably one of the few chances he would get to speak to her in an unofficial setting.

May as well take a mile since he was given an inch, then he heard that the exibits were finally open, and he quirked a brow intrigued a little.

"I also realize that I am currently monopolizing your time. If you have others that require your attention don't hesitate to say. But if not, would you like to go see the exhibits? Would give us both a chance to cool down." He said easily as the movements of their dance had slowed down to something casual. Gentle swaying motions meant for a conversation as he awaited her answer.

After Caleb took his leave, the doors of the exhibits opened at last. With his sazerac in hand, Zev walked with into the METENO exhibit, where shards of the mineral on the meteoroid had been arranged into artful displays. As they were Nenet's interest and not his, he hung back a pace behind her, giving her space to peer at the crystals up close.[break][break]

"Have you gotten your hands on some samples at the Space Center?" he asked her. "I hear that Pokémon exposed to them undergo type changes, but haven't had a chance to witness it myself."[break][break]

Zev had noted the Terastal exhibit nearby, which looked like a VR game station complete with headsets and screens. Some guests had already gathered around it to experience the Terastallization phenomenon themselves.[break][break]

Taking a sip from his drink, he observed just a few feet away as she admired a different set of crystals. A young man with a larger-than-usual Manectric was speaking with her, someone Zev did not recognize.[break][break]

Thinking nothing of it, the hitman turned his attention back to his date, his free hand absently rising to adjust her shawl around her shoulders.

"...Ah!" A soft gasp left Elisabeth's lips as the Manectric's warning bark stopped her from colliding with the masked . She glanced towards him almost apologetically, only for her attention to be pulled by his unusual choice of formalwear.[break][break]

Was this meant to be more of a costumed masquerade? Perhaps she had read the invitation too quickly.[break][break]

"No harm done," Elisabeth said with a gracious smile, one that tightened as and drew near. Although she didn't recognize the identity of the masked Rocket Beast, it was enough to know he was the rude dance partner who had tossed her aside the moment his true date had arrived for the evening.[break][break]

Frankly, if Zev didn't want to interact with her for the rest of the night, Elisabeth was more than happy to oblige him.[break][break]

An idea took hold of her suddenly, and her gaze darted to the signs leading to the TERASTAL EXHIBIT, its VR headsets in sight.[break][break]

"Were you perhaps curious about the Terastal Exhibit?" she asked . "I have never seen Terastallization, myself, and I believe you need a partner to take part. Would you like to give it a try?"

After dancing Caleb and Rosalie had decided to take a break to grab something to drink from the bar. They'd been interrupted earlier by Zev so they didn't have the chance to try anything yet. From the way people looked as she scanned the room it seemed like the drinks were up to standard since everyone seemed to be buzzed and merry. [break][break]

Caleb, continuing to be the smooth gentleman of the evening, offered to grab her something from the bar to allow her a moment to rest her feet. She appreciated the gesture and took him up on that offer. While she was certainly used to wearing heals and gowns on outings like this she wouldn't deny the dull ache she'd come accustom to. [break][break]

Rosalie wasn't sure how long Caleb would be away, so while waiting she decided it would be a good idea to freshen up in the powder room while she had the chance. With a nod towards Bonnie and Umi, the Sylveon and Umbreon respectively, the Pokémon duo made sure to escort Rosalie well towards the restrooms, remaining outdoors for her to be finished. [break][break]

All things considered, the evening wasn't going so bad. If anything, it was going way better than she had expected it to. Rosalie hadn't expected Caleb to grow found of her. Of course, they had common ideals, interests, and history but Rosalie didn't see the appeal in herself like that. [break][break]

Outward appearance aside, Rosalie didn't see herself as a good person at all. But she did make it her hobby to fool people. She was an actress after all. Trained in the art of lying since she was child. She only got more practice while in Kanto and now, she could even manage to fool herself. [break][break]

After touching up her makeup and stealing one last glance in the mirror, Rosalie decided to head back on out there. She'd hid herself away back here long enough. "Thanks for waiting." Rosalie said to her two chipper escorts who danced around her feet happily. "Let's head back," she said with a soft chuckle as they made their way back to the main foyer. [break][break]

As expected, it didn't take her long to find Caleb again. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting long." Rosalie called out to him as she gently tapped his arm to alert him of her presence. "So, what did you get me?" She asked as she spied the drinks in his hands, eagerly awaiting the details of her mystery cocktail. [break][break]

"Oh, and since the exhibits were open, I was thinking we could stop by to take a look at one of them." Rosalie began as she turned her head in the direction they would need to head in. "The Meteno exhibit is particularly calling my name, what about you?" she asked with an easy smile gracing her lips.

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Give someone a mask, and they will show you their true face
[attr="class","aurelie_body"]When the museum's exhibits were unveiled, Aurelie surprised herself by heading not toward the Primal Crystal or METENO 99943 exhibits, despite their enticing displays of rare, beautiful, powerful crystals, but instead toward the exhibit displaying the crown of King Geralt IV of Galar. To be sure, Aurelie always loved learning about history, and particularly about famous relics and heirlooms of the past. She also reasoned that, while this probably wouldn't be the last time she'd have a chance to see a Primal Crystal or Terastal Crystal, the crown was on loan from the Galarian ambassador and might not return to Hoenn for a very long time—or ever.

These were all logical reasons and certainly sounded convincing in Aurelie's head as she threaded her way through the crowds of masked revelers toward the jeweled crown atop its pedestal. Yet, part of her was dimly aware that she simply wasn't emotionally ready yet to reflect on the gnawing anxiety and dread of the incoming meteoroid, not to mention the horror of the battles for the Primal Crystals, as if they were merely a thing of the past. All those events were too soon, too near.

The crown, on the other hand, was safe, at least where Aurelie was concerned. It was beautiful, and it evoked no particular emotions besides admiration and fascination. So, she stood quietly behind the velvet rope surrounding the glass-encased display and gazed contentedly at the diamond-and-ruby-studded crown sparkling brilliantly in the overhead light.

Imagine wearing something so opulent on your head all the time, day in and day out, she thought to herself with an amused chuckle. The weight alone! Heavy is the head, indeed. But at least no one would ever be able to ignore or disregard you, either, so that's something.

A few feet away stood a handsome couple, one wearing a Corviknight mask and the other a wolf mask, gazing solemnly and broodingly at the exhibit. On her other side, Aurelie became aware of an elegant woman in a black-and-gold mask and a magnificent, flowing ball gown, taking photos of the crown on her phone. Turning her head, the red-haired smith watched as the woman held her phone this way and that at different angles and distances from herself, before eventually giving up and looking around. Aurelie pursed her lips thoughtfully and decided to approach her with an offer to help.

"Hello, can I help?" she asked tentatively, nodding toward the woman's phone. "I'd be happy to try taking a picture or two of you and the Galarian crown together. You can just let me know what angles or lighting you'd like."

Aurelie couldn't resist adding teasingly, her lips curving beneath her mask into a mischievous grin, "Not that I think it'd be hard to find the right lighting in this case, when you shine just as dazzlingly as the jewels on that crown, mademoiselle."

It wasn't that misunderstood the masquerade was to be a costumed one. Josh had just arrived looking a bit... extra. He loved standing out, and did so even at Halloween costume parties. "That's what caught my eye," Josh answered her. "Raikou here," he smiled beneath his helmet -- yes, he was even trying to pass his Manectric off as the legendary Beast -- "can Terastallize himself, but I'm still learning."

When Elisabeth mentioned needing a partner, Josh's smile grew, though it was hard to see. "I'd love to! One thing I've struggled with is learning to identify all the TERA JEWELs. As someone who routinely battles for sport, the advent of Terastallization is going to completely change professional Pokémon battles." This was something he needed to get at least a grasp on, if not understand the intricacies of, if he wanted to pass Hoenn's Champion Assessment. "Let's do it."





Continuing in spinoff thread!

[attr="class","samjermain"]She would be remiss to neglect an appearance at Hoenn’s biggest event of the year-- even if no one knew who she was. Maybe it was better this way.

Thalia slipped through the crowd, most of them having gathered to view the unveiling of the museum’s grand exhibits. Wrought in flowing gold with a mask to match, her long fire-red hair slipped freely about her shoulders.

It was nice to pretend she was amongst people she didn’t know. A whole palace full of strangers.

Most of the attentions drew towards the Terastal exhibit, which made Thalia roll her eyes. In Paldea one couldn’t walk a mile without stumbling upon a cavern full of Tera-energy, and a Pokemon warped to match. But it was still a novelty, here in Hoenn; perhaps, to keep up appearances, she should go with the rest of them and let her jaw drop in kind.

She stepped out of the way of a gaggle of young children attending the soiree on the arm of their guardian-- most likely a relative, on account of their having the same exact color hair. Despite her determination to remain above the sway of the thralls of Hoenn, she can’t fight down the sudden pang of envy that swells within her.

It’s a nigh-Pavlovian thing, happens every time she sees an apparently happy family.

Swiping a crystal glass from a nearby tray, she drowns the figment of human emotion, and tracks over to the Nautica exhibit, to see what treasure’s she missed out on.
