eleventh bubble; video/action for ecruteak.

Hey! I'm not sure if everyone watches the EV News - I do, and they have the catchiest little intro jingle, don't you think? [ Pausing to hum that. You're welcome. ]

Anyway! Is anyone planning to go to this prom thing? And has anyone else managed to procquire a silver ticket? I have to say that seeing all those pokeballs drop from the sky was sort of fun! I actually can't take credit for catching my silver ticket, though - Panini caught it. I think he was sort of having a field day with things to catch from the sky, actually. I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.

I've never been to a dance before. So I entirely plan to go! Besides, it sounds like it's happening in a new place, which is exciting. Have any of you been to dances before, though? I wouldn't mind hearing about them if you have!

I too have acquired a ticket, but I'm not sure if I want to go. I've always avoided these sorts of gatherings; social events for self-indulgent gossip and dancing are utterly useless to me.

[Don't mind Dist, he's one of those bitter, awkward nerds who never got asked to dance.]

Though the possibility of exclusive Pokemon and information from a new location is enticing...

You should absolutely go! And I suppose I oughtn't ask if you find dancing useless, but - save me a dance if you change your mind?

[ ...WELL NOW HE HAS, since she is literally asking everyone she knows to dance with her in advance. ]

And I agree that the new location sounds exciting! If you don't feel like dancing, exploring might be a possibility?

Not really. I don't really know that many people here yet. [The two guys she's with aren't really people she's willing to ask out, to be honest.]

Between you and me, I'd rather go with this one guy from home. Kind of picky of me, I know.

Wha- Um, no. [Her face turned slightly red from the correction.] Just friends.

[Misaki cleared her throat before speaking.] I'm all the way in Saffron so there is a good chance I won't make it in time. I guess we'll just see each other at the prom then. Do you have an outfit in mind?

Some like accessories, some like jewelry, Squirtles like sunglasses. It's all a mystery.

I don't really think it's the same. No graduation, I haven't done any of my final exams. She isn't here... Nonono, this is just a party. A really fun party, a party with friends and Pokemon! And I can wear a pretty dress and a mask!

Besides, while you could have the ceremony I'm not certain if it would be legally valid.

[Not that it's the most important aspect of it, but still.]

I'd be happy to give you a few lessons. It might not quite match the local dances, but it'd be a start.

You know, I don't quite remember. The only thing good about it is seeing those gym leaders there.

[Before Laguna can reply, there's a Lilligant all up in the cameras... face? showing off her silver ticket.]
Well... I guess Amanda decided for me! Not that I'd give up this chance - it'll be fun! [Laguna's grinning a bit, trying to get Amanda to settle down. But most of the feed is a happy Lilligant.]

I didn't manage to get a ticket myself because I guess I just have some pretty spectacularly shitty luck. Seriously I must have opened like fifty of those things and all I got out of it was a couple whangs to the head. [He laughs a little.] Good thing Rose's luck is better than mine. So I will be going as her plus one.

I am actually really excited about it too! I have never been to a dance before either...

Kamatha, Squirt, and Nila managed to collect several of the pokeballs, actually. I am not certain I really wish to know what the shellbeast actually intended to do with them.

[Probably not much, but he's learned not to underestimate the Wartortle's capability for annoying him.]

I am considering attending. Primarily for a chance to see the gym leaders I have not yet.

[Wait what. Dist's jaw drops slightly out of shock. Did she just...?]

Are you serious, Aradia? You truly would...?

[Upon realizing he's showing too much emotion, he quickly steels himself, even puffing up a little bit.]

Well, I suppose I could make an exception for you.

But yes, exploring isn't a terrible idea. I haven't ventured out much in my time here. It would be a nice change to travel somewhere more exotic.

Got a ticket because Lady saw it in the sky and brought it over to me.

[If only because the Ledian's curious about it.]

And I might be going! I don't often go to dances like this, so it might be fun.

I get the feeling nearly everyone got their tickets thanks to their partners! At least, most of the people I've spoken to have said that.

And I hope you will! I'm absolutely going, and I want to dance with everyone!

Perhaps just play with them? I can't think of any nefarious purpose for pokeballs, honestly.

And you should go! I don't think I've actually managed to see you off the journals since I arrived here, and that was months ago.

Come to think of it, dropping pokeballs from the sky probably did end up giving more than a few people whangs to the head, as you said! I suppose I'm lucky that Panini took it as a game to catch anything that came near us.

You haven't?? Do you know how to dance, though? Also I hope you'll save me a dance! And also I need to ask Rose to save me a dance. I am determined to dance with everyone!

Is Amanda attending with you as well?

[ Aradia will grin back, amused; she's accompanied by a Pachirisu herself, on her shoulder. He caught the winning ticket pokeball for her. ]

I think I'm lost! You don't remember what, now?

Sunglasses? Perhaps their eyes are particularly sensitive to light, then?

"She"?

A guy back home? Your boyfriend?

Well, true enough. Although we do seem to have the documentation to function as citizens of this world - if not full-class.

And that would be wonderful!! A start is all I truly need.

Oh, true. I suppose I'll have to think about who comes along with me to the dance, partner-wise. ...I do hope there will be some dancing, though!

I'll be right there! Don't move an inch. ...Well, you can move an inch, but stay in the same general location or I'll have to call you on the gear again.

[ Aradia wasn't too far away to start with - her room was on the first floor, and she locates the garden easily enough, Indy the gengar trailing after her like an ever-present shadow, and Panini the pachirisu on her shoulder. ]

Kanaya! There you are.

The resources would definitely be a big problem...ah, that's really too bad...

[ Oh-ho. OH REALLY NOW. ...But Aradia isn't going to pry, she'll just smile and drop it. ]

Not quite yet - I think one of my friends will probably end up making dresses for the both of us from scratch. She enjoys that sort of thing!
