When the job went up asking for part-time security at the carnival, Lydia applied almost immediately. Such a fun, innocent event set the stage for a particularly devastating act of terrorism. In this land of disasters, such flippant enjoyment was sure to attract the wrong type of attention. But, with her first day winding down, the veteran was surprised to find it’d been peaceful. [break][break]

For the most part, the attendees had been families and trainers intent on fun instead of mayhem. Then, she got this call.”We, uh, have a problem in Q4 next to the Magikarp fishing game. Can someone from security get over here?” Apparently, a young woman had gotten into a fight over what she called a rigged midway game. “Magnusson attending. Over.” With her Lycanroc at her side—also clad in a black logoed security vest—Lydia rushed off to the stand.[break][break]

With a frown, she watched things unfold for a moment. The woman was wagging her finger in the carnival worker’s face and spitting at him like a rabid Maschiff. “I SPENT $100 ON THIS GAME AND GOTTEN NOTHING BUT GARBAGE.” A teenager—obviously hers—was turned away with embarrassment. A smaller child, meanwhile, was crying.[break][break]

Some part of her wishing she had cuffs or actual weapons, Lydia stepped in to intervene. “Ma’am—” Her voice was clear and authoritative, even if she only came up to the woman’s shoulders. “If you continue to behave discourteously, I’m going to have to ask you to—” The older woman smirked. “Calling out your dogs, are you? You need to be arresting him! He’s the one who’s stealing from people!”[break][break]

Lydia sighed. She hadn’t realized working security and daycare were the same position.

Caelan felt comfortable in the hustle and bustle of the carnival, reminiscent of the busy and ever-active life in Castelia City. There was a certain sense of calm, ~~and a painful one of longing~~, as he strode between families and trainers. For some reason, he was attracting gazes and comments, particularly from young children, and Caelan had no idea why. Had they never seen a Goomy before?
[break]
Gelato was perched atop his head, her gelatanous body swaying to and fro with every step Caelan took. Given her soft coos of excitement, Caelan was glad that he was not alone in his enjoyment of the fair. It was only when she began to wiggle and wobble excitedly that Caelan gave his attention to one of the stands. There was a large pool of water and as he drew closer, Caelan could see that it was the Magikarp swimming about lazily that caught Gelato's attention. "You want a closer look?" Caelan asked as he knelt down at the edge of the pool. He felt Gelato's weight shift forward as though bowing towards the water as a few curious Magikarp drew closer to stare at the curious blob.
[break]
"I SPENT $100 ON THIS GAME AND GOTTEN NOTHING BUT GARBAGE."
[break]
A shrill shriek caused the Magikarp to suddenly scatter, even disrupting the customers who had their lines cast in the water. Caelan barely had time to hold out his hands to catch Gelato before she took a tumble into the water. Oh no. He knew this type of person. He rose to his feet to evaluate the situation -- his heart went out to the woman's kid, who had probably already learned that trying to drag his mother away from such a situation was useless. Then there was the carnival fair worker, who Caelan knew wasn't paid enough to deal with this lady's shit. And then a goody-two-shoes security officer and her trusty sidekick trying her best to get the woman to stand down.
[break]
"Hey. Lady." Caelan's voice was eerily calm as he strode towards her, a trembling Gelato in his arms. "The only problem I'm seeing here is you." He stood next to the security officer to back her up, his piercing eyes narrowed ever so slightly. People like these always had a louder bark than a strong bite, and Caelan had experience dealing with people who actually knew how to throw a punch.

The woman stared at Lydia with a Seviper’s venom. Those plump lips lifted to review a set of lipstick-stained pearly whites. “I do not think a child has any right to push me around.” The mother’s expression turned savage-like a shark who’d scented blood in the water. “ Much less a meter maid.” That comment raised the normally taciturn veteran’s hackles. Muscles tightened in her jaw and arms—the lack of fat became startlingly apparent. “Hm.” The Lycanroc beside Lydia growled as the ground beneath the woman rumbled. [break][break]

“Ma’am. I am going to have to—” A deeper voice cut the air between them. Lydia felt her blue eyes narrow as she turned. Being all of five-foot-tall, she had her fair share of men playing white knight. But the idea of it rubbed her the wrong way. She could take care of herself. This woman was fortunate to not know what true injustice looked like. It was unlikely she’d ever held a child mowed down by errant gunfire or watched a compatriot fall a hand’s width away—a victim of a simple change of the breeze.[break][break]

But the sight of the bear seemed enough to cool the angry woman’s jets. She blustered or a moment—puffing her cheeks out like someone trying to cool a hot bite of food. Finally, she huffed and turned away. “Come along, Tommy! We have better things to do than argue with lackeys.” With a huff, she walked away. Of course, she paused to turn over everything in reach. A row of plushies toppled to the ground.[break][break]

With a frown, Lydia moved to stack them back up. After a moment, her blue eyes drifted to Caelan. “Thank you.” She hoped it did not have any bite. That situation made her feel like a sidelined fool. “Regardless of how it happened, I am glad she left.” Hopefully, there would be no further encounters with the dark-haired menace.
