LEAGUE HOLIDAY PARTY

WINTERTIDE TIME!

"Ohooo? And where is the little diva anyway? Ya didn't forget her did you?" Sometimes love was just so saccharine around this time wasn't it? Knowing Melody Miro she was probably off waiting to make some big entrance or still getting her dress ready. Making herself loud and known was a trait that he found endearing of her.

Speaking of making themselves known were two other girlies that Kaz was rather familiar with and his face light up like gold as he raised a waving hand to them. "Yo Yui! Genny! Glad to see ya two made it! And you're killing it in those duds." They were people he's only known for a short while but they both bonded with him when they found themselves in different sticky situations. Plus with Yuina Higashi getting that shiny new promotion he figured he might as well get to know her, anyone who can reach that status of Elite deserved something nice like a classy drink.

Though that would have to wait as two more familiar faces showed up, Thomas Benoit and DESIREE BLOOMS both walked up to the counter, Kaz shooting his fellow brother-in-arms a smile as the girlie gang of Yuina Higashi, DESIREE BLOOMS, and Genevieve Cromwell seemed to get together. If Kaz and Thomas weren't in constant talks here and there he was almost sure he'd brought his protege as a date to this. Maybe he could be a little Impidimp and bring some mistletoe over, which meant...

"Glad to see ya too Thomas. Hope the farm ain't giving ya too much trouble lately." With the recent large fight over Dewford's borders those Audinos were probably putting in overtime. "Say why don't I go get us some drinks to properly celebrate eh? Keep watch over the girls Thomas. These three sound like they got a lot of cheer inside them." Stealing a bit of Herba Mystica from Desiree's basket he pints it into the collar of his shirt and enjoys the smell of it.

Making his way down he sees that Navy had slipped away without him realizing it and chatting with MATIAS SILPH, something about the Legends of Hoenn or something? "This guy gets it. More of a Kyogre man myself. Ya can blame skyler dross for that." He grabs the two men by wrapping his arms around their shoulders and brings them close to him as he smiles and shoots a wink at Caleb Harcourt as he does so for giving him a good intro to come in on, unaware of the venom of one's words and the stance of the other's, and turns towards the bartender Isaac Merlo.

"Yo can we get some drinks for the heroes of Hoenn right here? Oh and for my buds down there?" He jerks his head towards the girlie gang, "Sorry if that's a whole lot, just spreading some good tidings n' all that y'know?"

LEAGUE HOLIDAY PARTY

MEGA SOCIAL

IN THIS INSTANCE, there is nothing special about fernando silph. while the rest doll themselves up for the festivities, or with their ballgown best, his own attire seems criminally uniform. formal wear is the bread and butter of his image. something that should be painstakingly numb to those who know him through repeated exposure.

in contrast, everyone else’s disparity shines like the decorative stars that line the observatory’s halls. blinding. flashy. and, in some respects, an eyesore.

“hm?”

coming here tonight, is more of a service to those who wish for his presence, whether they admit it or not. for delilah, it’s an image of silphdom. that their cursed family will be embellished by their entrance, mesmerized by their status, and uphold the legacy that comes from their history. it adheres to the notion that they are together—a farce he does not mind entertaining.

after all, knowing that yuifujinsilph, his sister, is stuck in a silph co. broom closet, becomes all the more satisfying.

but she is not the only one. being present shows unity between hoenn’s council. for freya morningstar and PENELOPE LIVY have their own stake in this event. a minor, novel part, but one that borrows his own title to solidify that they are three. a consolidated team.

“go ahead,” he ushers to his 'sisters', “i’m sure lopez will be estatic to see eve again. might even tear him away from the DRIZZILE¹ in the room.”

- suggest they go on ahead

Hideo couldn't resist a small chuckle. "Thanks," he replied, his cheeks reddening slightly. "Would'a wore a candy cane sweater here if my Beheeyem didn't tell me what 'Festive Casual' really meant. Though it sounds like we're one of the few that got it right."

Though he was sure everyone else was fashionable in their own right. Hideo himself was hardly one to criticize how people dressed. "Took me a bit of time to put it all on. Elga had to help me out with it."

Hideo was just about to prepare his fourth glass of eggnog before Eris Halla suggested different drinks. "Well, I'm not one to object to new stuff. Lead the way. Take it the offer extends to Doug as well?"

He didn't want to leave John Sullivan in their dust. Not when they had a chance to meet that wasn't in the middle of a battlefield.

His Beheeyem was a bit more aware of the situation, noting where Reiner had been looking - spotting MATIAS SILPH in the crowd. It'd make sure that Hideo was standing between Matias's (potential) line of sight and Eris, to make sure there wasn't a partytime kerfuffle.

With Hideo none-the-wiser about the situation.

Hideo's goes along with Eris Halla

Also invites John Sullivan

Hideo's Beheeyem spots MATIAS SILPH , makes sure Hideo is blocking Matias's line-of-sight of Eris (as best he can)

It was pretty clear to see that paxton concordas's vibes were not the best. Even if El didn't immediately know who he was talking about by 'his royal highness', the cold shoulder he gave Isaac Merlo and Caleb Harcourt said a lot. Their first instinct was to glance over to Isaac - being ready to back him up, but looking to see if he'd offer any input.

The look that their brother gave in turn, though, would be met with sympathy - even if they understood the message. It didn't make seeing Isaac being looked down upon by others feel any better, though... It just made them think of the less than positive aspects of their family.

They wouldn't put a voice to those feelings, though - instead just putting on the best smile they could for Paxton as they turned their gaze to Bibidi and Baron. "Did either of you see the patrone?" No harm in making sure before they started searching. The Iron Valiant would provide a mental affirmation, giving a psychic nudge towards the bottles. And there it was!

Turning back to the director, El would hold up the bottle, offering "Here we are, did you want some?" Whatever the answer Paxton gave, El would provide, maintaining their smile.

But once that was resolved, their attention was soon grabbed by a little fellow - ollie morales's pikachu having made an appearance! El can't help but make a happy little cooing sound - folding their free arm on the bar and resting their chin on top to bring them more eye-level with Tofu. "Hey there, lil fella - let Bibidi or Baron know if you want anything." They greeted - gesturing to their Alakazam and Iron Valiant respectively to indicate them.

The 'anything' was anything pikachu-safe, of course - but just because Tofu was a pokemon didn't mean that they (or their pokemon, at least; they felt like Bibidi or Baron would understand his wants better) couldn't provide him with some hospitality!

Remiel Calcifet, too, would be given a smile and wave as El straightened back up to greet him. "Hello! Isaac's better with the mixed drinks, but if you just want me to pour you something just lemme know."

El would give Navy a smile and wave as well - though it seemed like he was more interested in talking to Isaac, so they wouldn't interrupt that.

But MATIAS SILPH's approach was a trickier one - cause even if El didn't necessarily pick up on the tension that came with it directly, they certainly could tell that their pokemon were picking up on it. All the same though, as the talk of legendary pokemon came up and Isaac put his own two cents in, El would comment "I'm biased, myself." with a soft laugh - lightly patting him on the shoulder to indicate who they were biased towards.

The legendaries were all cool in their own rights, but El would forever appreciate the one that saved their brother's life.

Kazimir Wynter would bring on a bulk order, meanwhile - and though Isaac seemed initially overwhelmed, El would just laugh and smile. "Don't worry, you're not alone here." They chirped to him - which was true in more ways than one - and indeed, Baron and Bibidi were already getting down a tray and some glasses to help.
