*Destino swaggers up to Quill, giving him a judgemental look. It's clear Destino wants to cause some chaos.*

Destino: Now buddy. Looking at you makes me want to vomit. That outfit? Come on. You think you look good looking like that? Honestly buddy, I'd love to help you. Because it seems you really need some advice on how to properly dress yourself from the most good looking Pokémon here. That's me by the way. However, I'm only an Absol, not a miracle worker. Even this is beyond me.

Quill @ Lazuli(?): "My little blue friend, you do not appear to be having a very good time. Is there anything I might be able to do to assist? I am very good at making distractions, you know, if you must take your mind off of things."

“Aaaa Ddiiiiissssstraccctionnnnn woouulld beeeee niiiceee...”

They mutter, bowing their head. Lazuli’s? body appears to almost lose its form, as the small creature gets more and more stressed out.

“And it happened twice! I do not understand!” Quill waved his hand about wildly to add emphasis to his confusion.

“Yeah, it definitely seems... awkward,” Flavian said. “Who could they be mistaking you for? I’ve heard of no one like that!”

“Maybe they’re seeing things?” Sophie piped up. “I dunno, trick of the light or something.”

“Light doesn’t eat vegetables though...” Flavian rubbed his chin. “And it happened twice,”

“Well, there’s only one explanation,” Rowan mumbled through a mouthful of cheesepuffs. After finishing what was in her mouth, she held up a finger. “Quill has a doppelganger!”

The other Pokemon all stared at her for a moment.

“I...” Quill was unsure.”

For yet another moment, all was silent. And the Flavian spoke again.

“I almost hate to say it, but that’s actually a plausible theory,” he said.

Rowan seemed proud of herself. But Quill still didn’t know what to think. Seriously? A doppelganger? Of him?

“I know it’s meant to be done with a group, but uh, I’m more used to riling up a crowd through the ring than on a performance stage. Not that I can’t do it, I just uh... it’s more of a... personal hobby, let’s put it at that.” Alyx merely shrugged it off as  he nicked off a piece of the candy cane, nodding his head.

“Maybe I’ll give it a go here... it’s a party after all, mostly strangers ‘n’ whatnot. Thanks for the idea, dude.” As the white swordsman enjoyed his treat, he shot a nonchalant smirk at the excited Gothitelle.

“You though? Ya look more like the guy that’s ready to hype a crowd with that raw enthusiasm, I mean you’re practically glowin’ with it, and not just ‘cause of the visor either.” Al chuckles a little bit. “You plannin’ on givin’ that karaoke thing a go yourself? Is that why ya brought it up? Just wonderin’, that’s all. Name’s Alyx, by the way.”

a different kind of performance

[ closed rp w/ @skraytheriolu , @askpluminescent

order: starryeyedseer, skraytheriolu, askpluminescent ]

It was Striaton City! Jhudora had always wanted to try the food since she had settled down in Nacrene City, but never found the time. However, with the holidays came the holiday deals and before she knew it, she had invited a friend of her’s-- a riolu-- to come with her! Richard was way too busy, and her brother simply wouldn’t do. He had a tournament to prepare for. 

She smiled down at Skray as she held the door open for him. 

“Have you ever been here before?” she asked. 

[pluminescentrp]

[ last reply ]

“So be it. Karaoke is not for everyone, I guess,” he said. “Though I do not think skill level matters too much for casual events like these. But it is up to you!”

The mention of her shop and her third eye caught his interest though. He only had two eyes himself, after all, and he’d never really been inside a curio shop either.

“On the contrary! I think it sounds perfectly interesting. You have just taken on a more quiet life, is all. I commend you, for I could never. Too much silence makes me restless.” he fumbled with the beard, before grumbling out of frustration and taking it off, once again. “It is no big loss, everyone knows I am not Santa anyway...” he brought his eye back to her, as to not be rude.

“You would be correct in that I can predict the future, yes,” he said, but he grit his teeth as he continued, “I do not use that ability very much, though. I prefer to live in the present. I think the thought of discovering something terrible to come, and being unable to do anything about it, discourages me from doing so. But, it is excellent that you use yours to help others! I’m sure you are well appreciated where you come from.” 

Realizing that perhaps he was drawing it out a bit, Quill proceeded to speak again. “So if it is a curio shop, then you sell all sorts of rare or bizarre things, yes? Have you ever had to deal with thieves or the like? Someone not willing to pay the price?”

"I mean, what's the fun in knowing what to do as soon as you see your target? If it's an Arcanine, focus on bringing it down with water attacks. Swellow? Hit it with electricity!" The Alakazam smiled, rubbing her hands together gleefully. "But deltas are a whole different story. You could be going against a Charmeleon when it suddenly blasts you with a psychic wave. Or maybe you expected a simple fire attack can take down a Bellosom when it unleashes a mighty Ice Canon! Name patent pending~"

"Deltas are never similar to eachother. All have their own unique abilities and attacks. All of which makes these hunts oh so interesting"

Erebus's finger tips touched together, looking at the Gothiletelle as a smile grew on her face.

"There are certain things I would do if ever there was a delta I find to my liking. Although it is rare, whenever I find that spark I just could not hold myself back! Course, it's something I HAVE to do alone. What that is, it will be revealed soon as this story progresses~"

Quill @ Byeol: "Ooh, another Gothitelle! Right? I have not seen one of our kind with such large ears before. Not that they are bad. It is interesting! Speaking of! You, and the other two, you all have ears like those, and tails, too. It makes me very curious, are those tails magical? Is that maybe where you get whatever powers you might have from? I do not really understand why you would need more than one or two of them otherwise."

“Hmm?” Byeol said with her ears perking up and twitching upon viewing the Gothitelle opposing her. His clothes were unlike anything she had ever seen. She had no idea what to even think of his attire but, there were more important matters on hand.“Magical? Not entirely, we can control them though.” she answered bluntly.“The number of our tails however is something we’re born with.“ she continued nodding slowly.“But… If I ever find out exactly why we have nine tails instead of one or two. I’ll be sure to tell you.”

[starryeyedseerrp]

"Aw, come on, you ought to live up to the Christmas name, Santa! He knows all the classics," she laughed at her own joke a little too much, turning the candy cane over to the point and deciding to work on it there so she could fashion it into a shank-- something else to joke about later.

"If Santa doesn't go up there and sing about how he's coming to town, who will be there for the kids?" Okay, okay, maybe too far. She didn't know if this guy could sing or not. She offered her free hand to shake.

"I'm Jhudora by the way! Who are you when you're not working hard to bring joy to millions of children on Christmas Eve?"

Quill @ Jhudora: "Hohoho! You look like you are having a fun time. It brings a smile to my face! I promise, I am smiling through this beard. Here, why not take a candy cane? And now you must tell me, do you have any favorite Christmas carols or other holiday songs? I have found that everyone seems to like different ones."

“My favorite is actually an old Kalos Classic! It’s called Noel Nouvelet. It’s a lovely song, and if you can understand the language, it’s even more beautiful! What about yours, Santa? Is it Santa Claus is Coming to Town?” She giggled and held her hand over her mouth to cover it up– all ladylike.

Truly, I am living my best life.

Pbbbth. You’re so laaaaaaaazy.

Why go to a festival when I could hang out with you instead :)

Aww, heehee -- wait, no! I won’t fall for your wiles!

[psychicduo]

W --

You heard me.

[psychicduo]

You know I didn’t mean to kick you that hard... I didn’t mean for you to get a concussion!

Er, look, as lovely as this has been, my mother invited me over for tea today. S --

Quill shifted his shoulders casually, humming. seemingly only half acknowledging the Delphox behind him.

In fact, his attention was fixed on him completely. Quill removed his visor, placing it on the table, and quickly turned around.

He wore an uncharacteristically hostile sneer, and the cadence of his voice seemed to shift slightly. Was he breaking character?

“’Couldn’t beat a child’? I can’t tell if your words come out of your mouth or your backside.” 

He got up, and was quickly at the Arbiter’s side. 

“Do you think I haven’t spent hours training? Over, and over, and over. I know what I’m doing. I will do whatever to takes to keep her safe, you know. Anything. And I’ll succeed doing it, too. Failure isn’t an option.

But if you’re unsure,”

“With words like that, you must have great confidence in your own abilities. So why don’t we test each other?”

[psychicduo]

Eeeeek!!

Whoa, hey, it’s just me. Welcome back, gumball!

G -- I mean -- er. Thank you, Rowan! It’s nice to see you again, too!

... Say, where did Quill wander off to?

With the other dudes, I’m sure. Doing dude stuff!

... ?

Stuff. Care to elaborate?

Uhhh ... stuffy stuff?
