"Oh it's-"

Before he could even finish. "Also lets show off a few of our guests of honor tonight, starting with Pluto!" With a blank face, he wasn't ready for that and he was soon ushered onto the stage past Niky. Looking at him for some cue of help, like he could. With a mic shoved in his hands, he stood there, dumbfounded.

"Well let's not focus on me, how about these two behind me?" He motioned for Sy to come forward and towards the DJ. "They're the real things keeping this going, besides my brother of course, so give them a hand! Can't do this without 'em!"

Once Sy was near him, he told him the time. "Like, 10?"

Before Pluto could even utter another apology, the Goddess herself walked out. Pluto's blue eyes went wide, staring at the beauty in front of him. His face tinted red, he hadn't seen such a stunningly beautiful woman before. At least, one that seemed to hold power in just looking at you.

Hand reached out, shaking hers, making sure to not be too eager about it.

"I'm well, thank you! It's such an honor to be here and that you took time to see me."

A smirk came to Pluto as she said she didn't mind exotic. "Oh good, I'll let you come to one of my performances then." That was a wink at her. She was going to sure be in for a treat when she saw that performance. Though he looked at the time, bringing a hand to his face.

"Oh goodness, it's so late! I do need to be catching the ferry back to Mossdeep." Oh boy. Looking around, where the heck was Smudge? The sableye had not moved from it's staring contest. Pluto blinked at them. "Have they even moved?"

HAZEL KLEIN

Pluto gave her some jazz hands as she asked how he knew. "I'm psychic." He teased her, but he could have been! Who knows, he wasn't letting out his secrets! Lips were sealed.

"The position of the stars can show you where you're at. Sailors use the stars back before compasses and maps to find their way around the waters without getting lost." He would point to the Big Dipper. "Find a constellation in the direction you're going and follow."

Soot gave a loud snarl as Pluto finished his sentence, looking up to meet another... oh that was another t-rex. His face blanked, soon grabbing a feather from Soot's beard. "Don't." He hissed, not needing him to freak out. But he went rigid, growling, waiting for the other threat to make it's first move.

It yawned, sniffing at them, before moving on it's way.

Thank Arceus.

It wasn't Pluto who even found her first. It was Smudge! The Sableye rushed up, holding onto her leg. Before turning to stare at the... rock. His face suddenly spread wide in a feral, rock, shit-eating grin. Like he was hungry and this was the perfect meal right in front of him! Which it was!

Without even a word, the pokemon went and Zen Headbutted the rock type into the wall. Cheering as it danced in his spot- soon he was followed by a Granbull, who was snarling at the rock golem, protecting Hazel!

Soon Pluto rounded the corner, blinking. "Hey! Wh- Hazel?" Blinking rapidly, he noticed the pokemon they were growling at. "Oh no."

Lucky for Hazel, Pluto was busy chasing two of his own pokemon. The two decided it was time to run around during low tide then get HIM stuck in here chasing them! The Granbull and Sableye were running amuck through the cave.

"Come here! We have company coming! You two are grounded! No sweets for a sweet! No gemstones!"

His voice echoed over the cave, perhaps reaching the ears of the friend he was supposed to meet and fate brought them here instead.

Pluto listened, nodding his head. "I run a business with my husband in Mossdeep." He answered her, though the last part.. It made sense. Night was secretive, he never told him a lie, but he never showed the whole truth. Pluto let his husband keep his past; it was his business and not their future, after all.

"Thank you, it's been so long since I've felt this familiar energy from a reading. It's so refreshing." Smiling, he grabbed a card from his pocket. "Should come by where I work, love to have you." He sat there for a moment, thinking of how he was going to explain where he worked.

"It can be a bit... Exotic, so if that's not your taste, we have a casino, full bar, and restaurant that's ran by my boyfriend."

...

Boyfriend?

Pluto could not help but beam. Compliments just had him all aflutter. He was proud of this business, proud of his beloved Night Fürst, just everyone in general. "Aww, well thank you. The front desk does have cards, feel free to take what you need! I'm very flattered you like it here."

As Josh kept watching, the room would darken to a purple hue, and chinchou and lantern, along with Frillish, would all come out. Glowing in light patterns along the tanks.

Jupiter waved his brother and friend off, returning back to getting the show ready.

Pluto waved Sy on some more, as he got closer, right before the stage and out of sight. Giving Nik the thumbs up and jumping up and down to the music during the upbeat songs. Looking back to Sy, he seemed to be just glowing about this.

"this is always my favorite part, all the energy in the room! It's great! Makes me feel like I could do anything!"

Niky Racz @symon

He gave a little nod. "I do." More so it was a general request, asking how the future looked. Simple and allows for many types of things to be shown through the cards.

Excitement filled him as she laid the cards out. Ready to see what lay hidden under them, looking up at her. "I'm ready!" He said, laughing. "It's been so long, I forgot how thrilling it is."

He did not notice how sableye had turned to stone having a staring contest yet.

"Aww, thank you. My husband is more the business man, I'm more in the employee relations." It made sense, Pluto was a lot more peopley than his husband, Night. Who was no where to be seen, probably off in his office.

"Of course! I'll make sure when you visit again, Scar over there makes the meal. His food is amazing." He gave a chefs kiss. "As for high stakes, quite a few professional players show up." A motion. "Dust here is actually semi-pro, but he doesn't play often." Dust waved his hand to dismiss the topic, disappearing before he got dragged into more conversation.

"Oh, of course. I figured I'd offer, but lets move on." He would lead Josh to another area. It was filled with fish tanks, lit very cool blue. "This lounge is where a lot of people reserve to host private events."

Josh Devlin

Pluto also jolted at the sound, holding his chest with a startled noise. "Goodness." Sighing, he nodded. "Okay!" Now he was focused on the deck.

Going to pick it up, he felt over the cards, then started to shuffle them a little more. A cut, then he put them in different piles. Just to give it a bit of extra... spice!

Even at the whistle, the sableye did not move. What would it take?!

HAZEL KLEIN

"It's beautiful."

The deck, that was! Going to the seat offered, he would sit and lean against the table, eyes sparkling as he looked so excited about this.

He knew a lot of spreads, and the three was the most common and easily done. "Sounds good to me." He answered back, wondering what the cards had in wait for him today. He was excited to learn the answer of it today.

Smudge just. Kept staring. It was even hard to tell if perhaps he had fallen asleep, if it wasn't for his little leg twitching from time to time!
