It's funny she says that, because 'Miss Remi' has become a staple nickname for her literally everywhere. How is that even possible? She shakes her head to dislodge the thought.

"Open-air?" Honestly, not that surprising. "Nice."

This was, after all, a flying-type gym. Which was kind of why she was so embarrassed to be bringing in a.. grounded wyrm.

"Uhh-- do you need me to--" Apparently not. The gym leader manages by himself with a cane and a door propped open for her to walk through. Remi clears her throat awkwardly before stepping through. Guilt niggles at her, she really should have opened it herself.. probably.

"Flying-type Pokemon are optional, right?"

Just to clarify, the bitch part of Bubble gum is playful.

Her brows crease as she rectifies that statement in her head, before refocusing on the woman as she begins to speak.

"Yes, that's right."

Briefly, her eyes scan over blurred names on paperwork as the receptionist flips through to find her application. Her familiar chicken scratch catches her eye, and none of the other names are committed to memory. Not that she had even been trying, really.

"Cool."

Awkwardly, the woman follows along. She flips over the security pass in her hand, and she shifts the Spinda on her hip to be more comfortable. The other one follows behind clumsily, tripping over its own feet and Remi's as they make their way to the gym arena.

The sudden spotlight makes her wince just slightly, but the sight of the pinkette brings a smile to her face.

"Did you forget about me that easily? I'm hurt, pinkie pie."

But she waves and nods, stepping up.

"Remi, yeah. Good to see you again, lady. Hope your dancing skills have improved since last I saw ya."

She winks because she knows it's her own moves that had needed help, not Melody's.

She can see his gears turning, albeit slowly. He parses her request, clinks the ice around in his glass for atmospheric intensity, and eventually, after a long, drawn out pause, he responds.

And with that, her smile grows. Always bold and never shy, Remi sidles up to him with raised brows and a perfect pout.

"What do you play?"

She brings her drink back up to her lips to sip, though she leans in just far enough that they could almost be touching. Seduction was all part of the game she played as well, even if he chanced not to notice or care.

"I'll let you pick."

Over her shoulder and deeper into the casino, someone shouts hurrah for a man named Cyrus for having won three games of roulette in a row.

Now left to her own devices given everyone's investment in romantics, Remi veers off towards a small skating rink. It appears that several people are indulging in a game of hockey. Eager to get in on the battery and bloodshed, the woman pulls up her holiday-themed santa-claus socks to pull on a pair of skates.

Once on the ice, she doesn't hesitate. It is full brawl time out there, full of busted knuckles and bloody teeth.

And she's not even winning.

People have been cutting themselves open, or sacrificing dead Pokemon in pokeballs, in order to fill up these bowls stained with old blood.

Naturally, she joins in.

The fang at her foot doesn't budge, but it doesn't deter her. This entire place is a weird-ass shit show, and if the people who had done it first hadn't gone up in smoke... then it should be fine.

And if not, then they'd all die in three turns and that would be that.

Unfortunately, she doesn't quite get the hint that the blood sacrifice thing is a bit odd and is turning people into half-breed monsters. Maybe that's a bit harsh, but it's the truth. Just as she is finishing up with hoisting her Teddiursa onto her shoulder and bleeding her palm into the western shrine bowl, she turns around to note how Lulu has now risen off of the ground and has obtained several more eyes.

"Wack."

And then her own body begins to contort and shift. She feels nauseous, and then like she might shit herself, and then all of a sudden she is catching a Teddiursa by the hook of the bear's claws with her own claw. Remi gasps, horrified, blood turning to ice, as she looks past the dangling baby bear to the fin-like arms she's obtained.

It appears as though she has taken on the characteristics of a Garchomp. Ironic and unsettling, given one of them had been the reason for her missing eye and sexy eyepatch situation.

"What the fuck is happening right now."

As she speaks, her teeth elongated into sharp points, and the odd ear-shaped cones on a Garchomp's side of the head cauliflower and bloom where her ears used to be. She has turned into an abomination like the others. Teddiursa squeals, however, but she seems overjoyed by the sight of her Pokemon-like trainer.

"I'm gonna puke."

And, like Lulu, she throws up.

notes:
- chose to sacrifice some blood at the western(ground) shrine
- turns into a GARCHOMP mutant
- ptsd and overstimulation from the transformation and she throws up

The sleigh pulls away, and Remi is left while the snow begins to fall again. It is really quite beautiful, she has to admit. The world seems to fall away at her feet, and it is only her and the swirling snow.

Instinctively, Remi sticks out her tongue to catch a snowflake on her tongue. Her hands rise up as well, catching the flurries in the palm of her hand. They melt quickly, but in the moment, they are exquisite.
