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!

Not...really! The most social thing I ever did was flarp, to be honest.

And staying here until prom is probably best; Dirk's still got to get his badge, and when he does, it would pretty much take the entire time until the prom to get to the next city, which would be - well, silly. We can save travel time if we go back with a different gym leader from the event. Chuck, that would be.

[ Hmm. That was definitely a lot of emotion just there, but she's not going to push it, just file it away, though she offers up a smile. ]

I'd appreciate it if you would! I'm not entirely familiar with the dances of this place, but I'm doing my level best to learn before the prom!

I agree! I've explored the areas I've been in, but...well, this is an area none of us have ever been to before, isn't it? There's something to be said for entirely, completely new areas. Although the locals have been there, obviously.

Which is rather surprising, truly, When did they find the time to fill in all the paperwork, and where did they obtain the necessary information in the first place?

I don't doubt that. As long as you have the basics, you can learn the rest from the music and from the other dancers around you, to some degree.

...You know, I have no idea! It seems to indicate they'd have some idea each of us was arriving, which is...strange.

It sounds like you enjoy dancing!

What isn't exciting for you?

Well, plenty of things! But I think this is really genuinely exciting? It's a new place to go, there's going to be dancing, and I'll get to see a lot of people I don't get to see in person normally!

I'm asking Kanaya to go with me! You're going, right?

Just a really really good friend.

[Yumi was as red as a tomato but strangely, her voice was calm compared to last time that was brought up.]

They are aware of our arrival, yet they've no idea why it happens or how to send us back. How strange.

I do, yes. It's a useful way of staying in shape when I'm training, and keeping a rhythm helps me concentrate when I am. In fact, a friend and I were looking into ways to combine dancing and swordplay, some time before I was brought here.

[Also, dancing girls are nice to watch.]

I will remain here.

[Which is an easy enough promise since she has no intention of moving anyway. She does wave when Aradia appears, and the other talking wakes up Sunshine. The roselia sits up and rubs at her eyes with her flower-hands before she gives Kanaya a little hug and hops off the bench to go see what the fireflies are doing.]

Aha well uh...I am learning how to dance! [So in other words: no. No he does not.]

Like, formal dancing I mean. Because I totally have stuff like the chicken dance and the hokey pokey down pat. [John. No. Stop right there.]

But don't worry! By the time prom comes around I will be a regular dancing machine. And I wouldn't think to skip out on a dance with you.

Your friend? Her name was...Kanaya, was it? That's really impressive, I gotta say.

[A beat.]

Is there anyone you're planning to go with, date-wise?

I don't think so... Brenn hasn't shown much issue with light, but he stops and gets interested anytime I find sunglasses in a shop.

*Oh, she caught that.*

Oh! Nothing, just... I have friends at home, that's all!

Well if no one else will, I promise I'll dance. I prefer dancing to battling. [ he's getting used to trainer battles but it's still something that's far from comfortable for him. ]

I was planning on attending- I will have to check with my travel partners, and make sure our plans line up.

But it'd be such a waste to let this chance pass by.

It is bound to be a learning experience for the both of us. I don't have much experience with dancing, especially with a partner...

[Judging by that look of hard contemplation on his face, he appears to still be surprised that this is happening at all.]

I wonder just how many locals have been there; many of them seemed just as intrigued as we are.

Yeah... It makes me wonder how they pulled it off back then. I know it was a group effort most of the time, since I often volunteered to cook for the part of it that was in the town or city I was currently in...

... ... wow, that seems like a long time ago...

What's the next place we're going to, again?

[If he could just borrow a Flying-type from her he'd be able to jet right there... but then, that's what he thought last time, and he ended up spending three weeks loafing around in Olivine. This is a very hard decision. Alone time with just a Pokemon and the open air, or free food and board and a ride hitched with a Gym Leader... um. At least he looks like he's considering it now.]

Cianwood City.

[ She'd probably lend him a Flying-type, but, well. Sollux, please. ]

It's next on the list, at least.

I think so, too! It's a chance to meet a bunch of people you normally only get to speak to, too.

The chicken dance? I don't think I'm familiar with that or the hokey pokey, but I'd like to learn!!

I think learning dances from this place is probably important, too, though.

[ ...Does he just dance alone...? ]

Well, learning experiences are always good! Besides, I'm sure we'll have fun.

As to that...some of my friends say that the Elite Four haven't really shown their faces before?

I don't know many who would be interested in that, I guess.

[ Well, a few. But she knows a lot of antisocial folks, too. ]

I think I do, as well! Although I can't speak for all my pokemon.

A mystery, definitely.

Combining dance and swordplay...? That would certainly be an interesting method of strife! I'd ask if you continued it, but...well, weapons.

Yes! That's the one.

And I was just going to ask Kanaya to be my friend-date.

[ The person she likes doesn't do parties. ]
