[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"]MISSION: COORDINATOR CHOREOGRAPHY [attr="class","kikan"] Xiura wandered through the Lilycove City Contest Hall, her eyes roving over the artwork spread over the walls, as well as the sparse sitting furniture, clearly more decorative than functional. It was a beautiful hall, a little labyrinthine in its layout of twists and turns, but thanks to Aurelie Lefevre's directions, Xiura was 90% confident she was on the path to the correct room. Incineroar walked by her side, looking bored. It had taken some debating and reasoning to convince him to come along in the first place, but Xiura felt the need to comment, "Cheer up, Incineroar, we're helping a friend. It's much more productive than lounging around the cafe on a slow day."Incineroar grunted noncommittally as they arrived at a large, warmly-lit practice room. "Aurelie!" Xiura said as her gaze alighted upon the familiar form of her red-haired friend. She beamed, approaching the other woman to give her a short but heartfelt hug in greeting. "It's okay, I understand," she said in response to Aurelie's apology. "Well, not completely since it's such a complicated and specific request from a virtual stranger from a salon, but I understand enough to be able to help! And the cafe and I are doing quite well, thanks! It's fairly busy most days since it is summer, but sometimes there are lulls and I'm not sure why."The first thing Xiura noticed after entering the room was Aurelie's Litten, a wary distance away from the front door, staring at the newcomers as though ready to bolt away. "Oh, hello, there!" she exclaimed, bending her knees to crouch a little lower to the floor but keeping her distance. "Say hi, Incineroar," she nudged. Incineroar looked over at the Litten momentarily in feigned disinterest, then crossed his arms across his chest, perceptibly flexing his upper body to full, vascular effect. Meanwhile, Xiura set her things on the floor beside the portable music player and pulled out a couple of gold- and silver-painted costume collars she had picked up from the nearby Pokemon accessory store. "That's a great idea to build the dance around a central idea; it'll make the choreography easier since we'll have an idea of what to portray through the movements, rather than risking the performance feeling directionless and empty." She pursed her lips to the side, thinking. "I think a sword-dance would be fun! We can find some costume foil swords and tie some ribbons onto the end for the Persians to hold in their mouths." She beckoned Incineroar over, trying the gold collar on him. "Incineroar..." she said, squinting at the Pokemon. She said, a little apologetic, "Would you mind pretending you're still a Torracat? Persians are quadrupedal..."She grimaced slightly, hoping it would go over well with her Pokemon. "Litten will be your partner and I'm sure he would appreciate being shown the ropes in ceremonial dance!" She looked over at Aurelie and the Litten, a touch of pleading in her eyes.
