It's funny that we have Rose in the villain club now, because he's the only one that didn't break into Lusamine's house during the Rainbow Rocket event. He at least gets THAT much credit from her.

Achievement Unlocked: Didn't trespass. He can have a little medal. As a treat.

"...U prommy?"

[vixletserenity]

Ah yes. Her most hated type of adult; she's met too many that are quite similar.

Continued from X

  Even after months spent without seeing a glimpse of the man, the once chairman still had a talent for making Bede feel very, very small.

  To say that Bede had contemplated the hypotheticals of running into Rose again would be a dire understatement. It was an inevitability, a dream and a nightmare that came in the guise of hundreds of different scenarios, each one bringing with it a sense of terrible dread or great vindication ( with no room for results in between ). An apology was supposed to be the latter... but as Rose continues to speak and speak, premeditated quips and retorts die on Bede's tongue before he gets the chance to use them.

  It would have been a kinder fate, being ignored. The words, templated as they must be ( an assumption that Bede's cynicism does him the favor of insisting ), send the teens emotions into utter disarray. He's upset, naturally. And Angry. Prideful. Resentful. Relieved, in a small way... Fitting, Bede supposes, how the man's words twist in his chest like a knife; fairy is weak to steel, after all. In a war of indigo and green, Bede's eyes are first to fall.

"What other way to handle it could there have been...?"

  The statement is rhetorical, not so much uttered out of acceptance ( no, most certainly not ) as it is a desperate attempt to strip away at least some of the apology, A bid for any scrap of control he could take hold of. It does little to fulfill the need. Bede's hands curl, smooth nails biting into the skin of his palms.

"So then... what now? You say we left off on the wrong foot. Is that just... a turn of phrase? Or are you suggesting we start forward using a new one?"

“……”

They look at the treats with a healthy dose of suspicion, glancing up at Rose to judge whenever these are poison or not. His expression doesn’t really give anything away, but —

ah, to hell with it.

Ree pops one of those suckers in their mouth, chewing with curiosity, before — their expression grows joyful, and they tuck another in their mouth, chewing rambunctiously.

“Oh! Fuck, I guess Galar has good sweets.” A pause: “… thanks, I guess.”

that’s the only thank you you’ll probably ever get from them, rose. Be grateful for it.

@kaanta // Oh he got noticed

Staring at people became a thing for him over time as he grew up, making assumptions about whoever, coming up with random things on the spot... Without wanting their attention. Usually, if said attention moved to him, he would just walk away and move on and all that without a care, but damn. This guy spoke to him.

"Oh, uh... Hey." Is it impolite to not introduce himself after he was told he can? "Sup."

[starchanged]

@kaanta continued from here

Penny hesitated to hand the photo over for a second, nervous that he might keep the photo should they hand it over. Yet seeing the way his eyes softened at the photo they felt their own grip loosen on the photo as they handed it over to him.

They stood to their tip toes looking to the photo with him as he spoke. Silently trying to view the photo through his eyes, to understand the feelings he and Peony must have held at one point. What they must hold now.

"Really? I never could've imagined dad being that small." Ever since they met he'd always towered over them. Peonia used to tell of how as a kid his shoulders were always the best place for a fireworks show, no one could ever block the view. Seeing a picture of him younger then even they were now, it almost felt surreal.

It was the smile that gave him away though. That bright toothy grin which went from ear to ear and could lift even their darkest moods. It was so familiar they could recognize it even decades ago.

"A cufant?" They repeat until realization hits them. "You caught Uma?" Their dad had always been so proud of his Copperajah. He adored her as though the pokemon was his own sister. Penny always thought he'd caught her just from how close they were. But knowing Rose had caught her for him... It made Penny think. Maybe that was why he loved her as much as he did. Maybe he wanted to use her to make up for the relationship he lost with his own brother.

"Uhh... I- I dunno... Dad would be really upset if he didn't get it back." They're hesitant. The photograph really wasn't theirs to let Rose do as he pleased with. It was their dad's, if he knew they'd taken it without permission he'd be so disappointed. If he knew they showed it to Rose without permission he might actually be down right mad. "Can you promise to return it to me? Exactly the same as it is now."

Send 🥃 to buy my muse a shot and hear them spill a secret!

--if you can't use emojis, then just send "shot!"--

@kaanta

He had to do a double take as the drink was placed before him.

❝. . .❞ There was no fuckin' way Mally was going to believe this one. Shot number two down the hatch.

❝So . . . Mally and I were really going back and forth about where we wanted to open the bakery, he always wanted to open it here in Galar, but I wanted it to be in Kalos so I could keep living with my fiancé and it would have been really hard for him to relocate to another region with his job.

Buuuuut . . . I guess you could call it luck or whatever . . . Something happened and I called off the engagement. So getting the hell out of Kalos sounded great. So now the shop is here and it's just me 'n Mally.❞ Maybe he needs another drink.

"You'll always be safe here."

Gentle Care pt 2 || Accepting

Allister clutched his mask to his chest, a small smile playing on his lips. He'd never been one to care about grand gestures. Small reassurances were all he required to be contented. Especially now, some may question the man's words, but for better or worse, Allister truly believed them. And in a sense, the boy still felt indebted to him after all he'd done for him.

After all, those years ago, if Rose hadn't offered him the position he still held today, it would be anyone's guess where Allister would be today. He had even been kind enough to keep their arrangement a secret. The vast majority of the league still didn't know why the boy's parents were always unusually absent from every match. Most would probably disapprove of a child as young as he was residing alone, would have likely sent the boy to live in an orphanage, the sheer idea of which terrified the boy.

He preferred to be alone with the ghosts after all, and it allowed him to further deepen his bond with the dead! It wasn't as though the boy was lacking for anything, he was able to focus upon his schooling and the gym without worrying about anything, it was all taken care of for him so long as he followed the rules. And that part was easy.

So, despite what anyone said, Allister would always be grateful to Rose, and still felt safe in his presence. The absence of his mask and the lessened struggle to speak plenty proof of that.

❝Th-Thank you . . . M-Mr. Rose. I-I've been . . . getting br-braver . . . I . . . I think . . .❞

🃏 - Dumbest battle move your muse has made?

I think when they were battling @ghetsis’s shadow triad in a triple battle and they panicked and used protect, thinking it would protect all their Pokémon.

it was a dumb goof because they’re not used to doing double/triple battles
