Today was a special occasion for the Pokezaar family! They were on the hunt for new members, and at last it was time to cast their net and see what they could catch! Posters had been plastered all across Slateport, message boards had been spammed, radio stations had been broken into, all to advertise Pokezaar's very first Talent Search Extravaganza! All interested parties were to report to the Mooney Community Theater at the crack of dawn! Signs ended when the even ends at five pm, so everyone was free to drop by to participate as long as the theater was open!

Of course the 'theater' was just a vacant warehouse that had been as extravagantly decorated as the budget would allow. It was such a dramatic change that you could hardly tell that they used to can milktank livers here! A raised wooden platform acted as a makeshift stage, with a heavy red curtain held by low bearing pipes acting as a buffer between the audience and the wannabe performers.

The audience consisted of only two individuals seated at a foldable table. One would be the illustrious Mr. Mooney himself, here to personally choose who to invite to the family. Beside him sat Cole Douglas, a recent addition that specialized in make Mr. Mooney's sky-high dreams a reality. As of now that meant finding new blood for the circus, hence this delightful little talent show!

Cole had been serenely nursing a bottle of water, his signature resting smile fluctuating from near-neutral to downright giddy at periodic intervals. Cole was eager to getting this show underway, but it was up to Mr. Mooney to decide when to start. All he had to do was use the megaphone placed in front of him.

It was quite the day indeed! A show that took all of three days to plan and execute all on the whims of two men who sat behind the foldable table, one seemingly distracted with something on his cellphone and other other simply waiting quietly.

There is a very pointed clearing of a throat from the small handful of people who did show up, a sound that had the masked man look up with a very owlish blink - as if he forgot why he was here in the first place!!! "Oh, right. Ooops!" the phone is soon silenced and tucked away in his breast pocket and Mr. Mooney stands.

The megaphone is left where it is, untouched and sitting pretty because he is a ringmaster for the grand Pokezaar and his voice carries when he wants it! booms like thunder and enough to draw attention front and center.

"Ladies and gents! My friend and I would like to welcome you to the Pokezaar Talent show, where you'll be putting yourselves on display to je judged. Now the rules are simple; wow us and you might earn yourself a spot. Keep in mind, though! There are three spots to fill and there are nine of you!"

Those beady eyes soon fix on Cole at his side, a grin given. "Would you like to add anything, friend?"

His boss said his piece, and referred to Cole for further input. Having a much softer voice, Cole happily grabbed the megaphone and aimed it at the gathered thespians. The megaphone crackled as he pulled the 'trigger', and after clearing his throat he would provide his own thoughts.

"This is not your message board or high school production! We are PRIME TIME people, mediocrity will not be tolerated! Shine like a star or burn up trying! Now go see Abby to get organized, double time it we're burning daylight!"

Abby was the name of the stage hand that would set an order for the performers. The performers huddled around her, and began being sorted alphabetically. As the first performer finally took center stage, Cole reached under the table and pulled out a bag of popcorn.

He aimed the bag toward his employer before taking a handful himself. This should be a very entertaining afternoon.

Did this little talent show have order? Did it have a system in place other than giving people numbers and simple instructions of; "when your number is called, stand on the X and wow us" But none of that was Mr. Mooney's doing, he works hard enough as is and that's why he has underlings like Mr. Douglas and Miss Abby to help him out today.

"Oh!? Haha, that's a surprise." Shelby commented as he played witness to his partner pulling out popcorn from seemingly out of thin air! So much so that he actually had to check under the table himself. "Such mystery," he muses and rights himself. "Thank you," he accepts some popcorn and leans closer to whisper somewhat dramatically. "Do you think we'll go home today with at least two new recruits for the zaar? I'm betting on none... but I'm a hard man to please while being shockingly simple at the same time."

"Abby, dear! When you're ready send out the first person! We don't have all day,"
