"oooh, a doctor?" miyako coos jokingly, suppressing a laugh at howard slayte's boast. "i didn't know they gave out doctorates for being a public menace."[break][break]

she taps her chin thoughtfully. "dr. dumbass... dr. dickhead... dr. doofus..." her voice lilts, as if she's deeply considering these various titles. "nah, doesn't have the same ring to it as dr. slayte."[break][break]

inwardly, though, she's vaguely impressed. it takes a certain kind of idiot to navigate the streets of slateport with such brazen disregard for the rules, and to proudly proclaim it in the midst of a party full of the hoenn elite.[break][break]

guess money and fancy degrees don't buy brains, huh?[break][break]

she's just joking. kind of.[break][break]

thank god clover matamata gives her a distraction! she turns to the teen and offers a wide smile, then she takes clover's hand and gives it a firm shake. "good to meetcha. always nice to meet a fan of the law." her tone's a little sarcastic, but her smile is genuine. it's not every day she meets someone who actually appreciates her line of work! "man, between the war and rampant disregard of traffic laws, my job's been hell. it'd be great to have someone else out there to help keep the streets safe."[break][break]

her mind stumbles a bit at the mention of ultra space rifts, though. "wait, you've actually seen one of those things? damn, kid, you must have balls of steel." she lets out a low whistle, impressed despite herself. "i've only ever heard of them. hey, since you're experienced, you'll give me a tour, right?"[break][break]

she winks surreptitiously. not even she knows if she's really serious right now.

It’s absolutely stunning, and she’s left speechless from the moment they walk through the halls that empty into the spacious chamber. Her eyes grow wide in awe and even envy. What a beautiful place to call home. Her stomach knots with emotion, gaze immediately falling past Ollie to freya morningstar. At that moment, she suddenly isn’t surprised by the grandiose estate. It suits her perfectly. Reagle, but rugged. Beautiful and dangerous.

Ollie busies himself with the buffet table - unsurprisingly. He’s quick to break off, beaming with a signature Morales smile that lights up a room, “Ok, I’ll catch up with you later,” her soft voice trails him but she is unsure if he actually heard her amidst the growing echoes of the chamber. Either way, it leaves Eva alone at the cavern’s entrance, silently letting her gaze dance between the few present already.

As much as she wants to cling to freya morningstar, she refrains from bee lining it over to the host. She’s caught up in introductions and entertainment. Eva would eventually make it to the top of her list, but for now she slips off to a corner of the room to admire some of the cavern’s more unique rocky features. The natural beauty of it is accentuated by the harsh shadows of the candelabras above.

She grabs a small glass of champagne on the way, sipping the delightfully bubbly drink. She takes a wide berth around the small social groups conversing. Normally, she’d tuck herself right into one without a second thought but she isn’t her typical extroverted self. There’s a discomfort she can’t shake that’s holding her back. The relentless and oppressive feeling has made her a bit more reclusive. The more people she surrounded herself with, the more alone she felt. She was originally reluctant to even come to the event but there’s no way on Earth she’d disappoint freya morningstar like that.

Fenelle really doesn't want to be here. And in a way, Fenelle isn't - Xuanyi is here. They were forced to attend this charity banquet by their parents, who of course also have donated quite an amount to the rebuilding efforts. Simply something that the De Laurierwylles do, as they are so good-natured and also so rooted in Sootopolis. Their estate itself is still partially in tatters, but it's looking better than most others still. And in a show of modesty, they all were clad in rather simple garb for tonight's gala.

Xuanyi wears a fairly simple pink dress as they make their way towards the grand hall with a sheepish look on their face. (It's taken ages for Fenelle to discard the burning hostility to fulfill this formal function. A necessary evil to keep their freedom in other areas.) They quickly greet freya morningstar with eyes cast downward in shyness, seemingly intimidated by the councilwoman's presence. There's a few words exchanged from their parents that they can only imagine, before being left to their own devices quick enough - their parents got connections to grease.

It's the first time, however, that they are not entirely alone. A good distance away from them, a tablet floats with a Porygon2 inside of it. Not one that Xuanyi (or Fenelle, for that matter) is overly familiar with, but it would technically provide an opportunity for conversation that usually has been missing for them at such occasions, unless the other knows sign language or is willing to put up with notebook and pencil. Still, the presence of the pokémon seems to make the pink-haired slightly uncomfortable, as it keeps a respectful distance away.

Immediately, they seek the quiet corners where they could observe the hall without being part of it, but not without stealing away a little pastry from the buffet. They regard it with curiosity - wondering perhaps, if that one bakery is still standing. They haven't had the time to check yet ...

A surprised, unpronunciated gasp escapes them as they accidentally bump into someone else on the sidelines in their contemplations - they manage to hold onto their pastry, gladly, preventing it from spilling onto the floor or the other's dress. Their expression immediately turns profoundly apologetic as they bow, before raising their head and realising they're in front of Eva Morales.

(Well, of course ollie morales would be here, too.)

It's a feat, truly that they manage to keep their role, but gladly Xuanyi isn't a role they play badly; the pinkette merely looks surprised, and even more apologetic. The Porygon2 tablet approaches a little bit, translating the clumsy one-handed signs (the pastry blocks one hand) diligently into speech, "I am so sorry! I wasn't looking where I'm going, I'm so sorry."

prompts: 2
- enjoy some of the food and drink from the buffet.
- recall a memory specifically linked to sootopolis. if applicable, link the referenced thread.

Roy returned a small wave, mirroring the one he'd received from his head ranger, his thoughts briefly drifting to ollie morales’s kindness and compassion. His focus quickly shifted back to the food, disregarding the fact that his cousin might not appreciate him devouring nearly everything on the table before the banquet was even over.

Lost in his meal, Roy was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of someone else, as if they had materialized out of thin air. He tried to play it cool, redirecting his attention toward the rest of the room. However, the moment Caleb Harcourt’s voice reached his ears, Roy knew he'd been caught. Still, he made a half-hearted attempt to dodge any potential scolding that might find its way back to his cousin.

"Yeah, it's alright," Roy said nonchalantly, though it was hard to play innocent when half the room had seen him swallow an entire slab of meat. As he scanned the crowd, his eyes landed on the others; some with visible wounds while others carried their scars in their expressions. The weight of the war and what lay ahead for the region flickered through his mind, but he pushed the thought aside. Turning back to Caleb, Roy tried to shift the focus.

"Is she watchin' me?" Roy asked, clearly referring to his cousin, freya morningstar, across the room.

"anna!"[break][break]her head turns, finding ollie morales easily in the crowd. he's head and shoulders above the others (quite literally), a ray of sunshine parting the clouds of sootopolis refugees and awkward-looking banquet-goers. despite the steady hum of anxiety through her body, she matches his grin with a small smile that looks half-uneasy, half-relieved. [break][break]"of course i did — " a strong arm pulls her in, draped across stiffened shoulders. she falls against his side, and it's enough to convince her to relax a little. " — you asked me to."[break][break]it's the call and response of their relationship, as it was meant to be. and it's the least she can do after a year of turbulent friendship. her eyes follow him as he gravitates toward the pastries next to them, watching the route the croissant takes from the basket to his mouth. [break][break]she must've been watching too closely, she thinks, because ollie holds it, half-eaten, in front of her face as an offering. she glances up at the head ranger, then back down at the croissant, then acquiesces to it with a might-as-well shrug. [break][break]"sure." she takes a bite, reaching up to wipe the crumbs from the corner of her mouth as she chews. and when she swallows, her eyes light up, impressed by ollie's ability to find perfection right away in a sea of buffet items. "wait — that's actually so good. all it's missing is a cup of coffee." [break][break]the conversation is almost enough to forget where they are right now.[break][break]"sooo when'd you get here? did you come by yourself?"[break][break]where's PENELOPE LIVY? she wonders, implied by the sly cant of her head.

This war... Was it truly worth it, Makoto wondered? Resources and power were certainly something...

... But Petalburg was a mess. Sootopolis was a mess. Both of them would likely take forever to recover from it, and Mossdeep likely had its own issues even if it hadn't come under siege from Kyogre or Regirock directly. It'd take resources inofitself to rebuild these places, wouldn't it? Was it truly a net positive for Rocket, to take over Petalburg?

Makoto wondered about their own place in Rocket. Were they on the winning side? The losing side? Did that even matter? They weren't sure. Either way, they didn't dare wish to paint a target on their back, and ruin what human connections they had now in people like howard slayte. To put themself back at square zero would... be something, to say the least.

They didn't want to be alone on the streets again.

Speaking of Howard though, Makoto took note of him with a few other folks - and for a moment, they did consider approaching, but...

... For now, they would decide against it - simply idling as they observed the festivities around them.

TLDR/Notes: Makoto is in civ persona, doing big thonks to themself while they take note of howard slayte vibing with a few other folks. Decides to keep to themself for now to take in their surroundings.

Eva Morales, Elise Calcifet, and 1 more like this

praise and thanks given to silverio delfino and Elise Calcifet and shortly after, freya had excused herself. she'd looked past Roy Aker to see Eva Morales, done up in a dress that made her heart hurt, and makes her hurt still when KING WAYLAND sidles to her.

"i don't care," she says, clipped. "this isn't about that. this is about helping sootopolis."

but is it? whispers the selfish little creature in the back of her brain, carrying her gaze from eva and towards the amnesty table, carefully placed by the entrance to catch the eyes of all who enter. food aplenty, anything the league can spare, made tangible to citizens to show them that they are here.

and they are the ones that will bring them salvation.

"i can't," she says, and it's not so much a lie as it is a half-truth. "speech soon. afterwards, i will. maybe." she wrings her fingers together.

it's nerve-wracking, seeing him mill about some of the highest ranking members in the league. once or twice, she's seen him and nearly frozen, mind racing before remembering that he has every right to walk beside her.

"do me a favor and stop Roy Aker from eating the entire banquet, would you?" she asks with a forced smile. "i need to find Melody Miro."

Unbeknownst to freya morningstar and her new husband, Caleb's already on Roy Aker's case.[break][break]
"She's definitely watching you," Caleb confirms, with exaggerated gravity. The corners of his mouth twitch as he tries not to smile. "Best leave some of that food for the rest of us, or she'll give you an earful."[break][break]
In true comedic fashion, a clattering of silverware onto the stone floor heralds a new contender in the race to finish the banquet before any of the other guests have had a chance to eat. Caleb winces, knowing exactly who's responsible for the mischief.[break][break]
"MAVLI, you rat!"[break][break]
Caleb dives under the table, snatching the Bagon and dragging her out by her feet. She snorts, mouth full of the very same meat Roy had been enjoying moments before Caleb's arrival. She squirms, to no avail, and settles on flashing Roy a pained look that seems to convey the utter unfairness of her circumstances. Won't he please do something about this? They can enjoy the meat together, without Caleb's meddling![break][break]
"I don't remember anything in Freya's book about Bagon being so hungry all the time," Caleb grumbles. "I wonder if she's growing."

Her dress, hair, make up were all flawless. [break][break]

Her mind? A total mess, a slew of emotions flooded her heart and mind as she was conflicted about sootopolis in general. The residents of sootopolis who adored her one day turned on her the very next when rocket had begun to whisper in their minds. She had to move past it, she had to start anew with them. [break][break]

Did she want to? It wasn't that simple, but she had a job to do, she needed to serve ALL the citizens of hoenn, not just the ones she picks and chooses. If that meant helping freya morningstar with this function then so be it. She gave herself an order, to appear genuinely happy to be here. Meloetta's influence was certainly useful at times. [break][break]

"Hello hello! I got a bit turned around trying to get into this BEAUTIFUL estate." She exclaims. As she approaches freya and plants a kiss on both of the councilwoman's cheeks, her presence livens up the atmosphere around her with a radiant smile. Surely to the dismay and annoyance of some others.

The wanderings of her mind take a sudden turn when a firm, but gentle, bump reels her back into the moment, “Oh!” she gasps and clutches the delicate glass he has in hand. If she hadn’t already sipped it a few times, the bubbly liquid would have spilled over her new dress. It takes only a moment to steady herself before she faces the culprit.

A young woman, also dressed up and shockingly apologetic for the interruption. However, the words don’t come from her own lips, only a clumsy version of sign language Eva isn’t familiar with. Luckily, the Porygon2 is there to translate.

The professor’s eyes dance between the girl and the tablet. A smile slowly widens over the pink lips, “Oh, it’s quite alright, don’t worry about it. No harm done,” not even a single drop was spilled and Eva is still on her own two feet.

“It’s probably going to get crowded in here though, I’d pay a little closer attention,” the warning is said with a warm smile and finished with a wink meant to turn the awkward situation into a more playful and friendly one.

A familiar voice carries itself to the conversation between her and her fellow Rustboro ranger. It’s the councilwoman that the ambassador met a long while ago before the Petalburg-Sootopolis war happened. Her concerns don’t stop with the ending of that war, there would be more to come. She gives a nod to Silverio when he mentions that the areas affected by the flooding, not just Lilycove, will get those help to rebuild the cities.[break][break]

“Good evening, Councilwoman Morningstar. It is a pleasure to come by your estate and attend the banquet itself.” The Galarian ambassador greets freya morningstar with a bow of her head in respect to the older woman’s position. “And with Galar’s current alliance with Hoenn as a result of mending its relations, I will see to it that the embassy will fund into the rebuilding of the cities affected by the Sootopolis flooding. It’ll come out of my own pocket.”[break][break]

She has a lot of money to spare from earnings at work, courtesy of being the wealthy scion of the Galarian royal family and being able to work harder to earn her own keep. Elise did lament the state of the war now, Petalburg’s fall means the danger that Rustboro will face next if she’s not careful. It’s at that point that the Dive Ball wriggles a little in wanting to join the fun her female Sprigatito was getting.[break][break]

At the cue of Freya leaving to excuse herself, the ambassador releases her Calyrex shard out of his Dive Ball. “You can join too, but please behave yourself.” Elise doesn’t have to worry when Charles is actually pretty well-behaved for a hare king. “I will get you some food if you are hungry.”[break][break]

"I'm sorry, you will have to excuse that Charles wanted to join my Sprigatito in being at the banquet." She gives a little chuckle towards Silverio.

freya morningstar and Fenelle Miller like this

There's a lot of big names, here - Makoto can recognize them both simply by virtue of fame, and also by virtue of having caught glimpses of a few of them amidst the chaos in Sootopolis. Of gods warring, and rising waters.

So many places - familiar both to themself and their friends - were ruined. But even if they could no longer do something like go out for pastries with Fenelle, they could at least partake in some of the food here.

And no expenses were spared in the banquet, it seemed. There were foods they couldn't even begin to identify, and they'd reach for an empty plate to serve themself--

-- But clattering noises and something about a 'rat' draws their attention, as they glimpse over to see Caleb Harcourt wrangling a Bagon, and something about freya morningstar 's book...

... Ah, right, that Dragonology book... Makoto remembered hearing of it - and they had considered looking for it, honestly. Having come into possession of a few dragons themself, it'd probably do them a lot of help. Ryuu was ornery enough as it was, they didn't want to have to wrestle with more willful dragons.

But, for now, they'd focus on the food - finally dishing some up for themself.

TLDR/Notes: Is here as a civillian. Muses over recognizing a number of the faces here, both just for those peoples' fame and also from glimpses during the fighting in Sootopolis. Is a little melancholic over the loss of places they used to go to in Sootopolis, such as the pastry shop they visited with Fenelle once. Gets some food at the table, notices Caleb Harcourt wrangling a bagon and mentioning Dragonology, and muses to themself over reading the book themself at some point.
Prompts: reflect on loyalties, lament over wars, sootopolis memory, food, dragonology

Xuanyi is relieved as the other doesn't seem to take it too badly, and releases the vicegrip on their now slightly crushed pastry ... well, they could've also remembered to take a plate, but at least it hasn't fallen onto the floor now ... And before they could apologise another time, Eva makes a quip that prompts a slightly intense stare as they try to figure out if Eva means the scolding, or if it's a mere quip to lighten the mood.

Another moment passes, then Xuanyi smiles with pink flushed cheeks, still looking extremely embarrassed about the mishaps. There might also be another glance over their shoulder, seeing if their parents maybe have seen that, before they whip back around to Eva - but not with enough force to send their twintails flying.

"Yes, I will! So sorry again, I ... was a bit too focused on, eh, something else." They glance at their pastry.

(Fenelle thinks about the other topics occupying der mind. A steadfast loyalty to Rocket that dee keeps under wraps in these circumstances. It's nothing dee has ever questioned - or maybe sometimes ...)

They direct their gaze towards the floor again, before continuing to sign, now with calmer movements, though still clumsy with the battered pastry in hand, "Uh, I was thinking about what I read about, about the- Draconology texts by Mrs Morningstar." However, it's also apparent that the thought itself also fills them with a vague kind of horror, though it's not exactly apparent why that might be - or the distance between them and the Porygon2 tablet might be telling.

"Uh, I- I am, I'm Xuanyi De Laurierwylle, pardon the late introduction, uh- Dr Eva Morales. Very honoured to make your acquaintance, even if the circumstances are ... not really favourable." They let out a sigh, thinking about the destruction back at their home, too. "They've been lucky that they haven't been at home when it all happened." Still, the thought of the fierce battle brings an expression of deep sadness with an undercurrent of fear onto their face that they hastily try to mask with a pleasant smile.

He arrives fashionably late, arm out for one of the event's very generous supporters: luciano fisk . He hadn't meant to attend, only help set up, but when Luci had brought it up it sort of...tied his hands. And he figured, this could make up for their last party together. No mistletoe, no mishaps. Just, making small talk with people while Luci charmed whoever he spoke to. [break][break]

His suit is simple, with small details complimentary to his date's. He's not often a fashionable man, allowing Luci the reigns if he wanted to dictate his appearance. His hair is slicked back on the sides and pinned in place with nigh invisible bobby pings. The bangs allowed are perfectly coiffed ( not by his hands ). His suit is tailored well, and new, and far more expensive than anything Paxton could ever afford on his salary. But it made Luci happy and so he went along with it. [break][break]

They enter the grand estate, the well worn rock walls and dragon detailing setting the stage for Freya's event. It helped understand why Freya was the way she was. And it was well worn, even after her banishment from Sootopolis she'd slipped right back in as if time hadn't stopped. Good for her. He approached the hostess with Luci in tow and greeted her. "It's like you never left." he said with a placid smile as he reached out and clasped the woman's forearm in a familiar handshake."Not everyone's this lucky." he added, though his words don't carry an ounce of spite despite being one of those unlucky many. [break][break]

"Looking forward to see the good this can do for Sootopolis." he said, before casting a discerning eye to the crowd as well. As he did he smiled spotting a few familiar faces before carrying on. "I trust you have everything under control." He moves right along to introductions. "This is luciano fisk , one of your sponsors I believe. I trust you've met him and his family." he said shifting focus to his date, the real star of the show.
