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!

[Dirk's got a ticket of his own, but it's in a pocket somewhere. He's attempting casual right now when he glances over from browsing through his own pokegear.]

I'm considering it.

[timelymaid]

[ That's not the enthusiastic yes she wanted! ...Okay, she knew that probably only Jake was going to give an enthusiastic yes. ]

According to the travel plans - hitch a ride with a gym leader there and back - I think we can actually skip ahead if everyone does agree to go. Whiiiich is the argument I plan to use for Sollux.

Catching mine was easy-peasy. Although Talent predicted which one I should catch.

And I have to go! Being here means I'm not going to get to go to my senior prom ever, so a Pokeprom will have to do. It'll be better anyway, in all but one way.

I'm already figuring out what dress to wear, and what swimsuit to wear under it so I can go swimming quick as I want! Most of my Pokemon are super excited too!

Voice

[timelymaid]

Talent?

Oh, I hadn't even thought about dresses! ...I'll just ask Kanaya for advice later. Do you think the pokemon are meant to dress up, too?

Also, what is a "senior prom"?

[viiru2alert]

Eugh, no.

[Aradia can now enjoy one shrug from this loser, currently typing something nearby. Let other people have their tickets, he doesn't give a damn about some psychobitch Gym Leader and her ego-stroking party. It's for losers and people who actually think that there will be anything of value to be achieved there.]

[timelymaid]

[ Color her shocked. EXCEPT NOT AT ALL. Aradia is rolling her eyes at you briefly, Sollux. ]

I already knew you didn't want to go to the dance! That's why I'm asking someone else.

But you should at least go to the resort - logically speaking, I'm pretty sure we can use it to skip to the next city. Since we have to arrive with a gym leader, and go back with one...but it didn't say anywhere that we have to go back with the same gym leader we left with. So we could cut our travel time down...!

[ She's giving him an expectant look now. ]

[notchinese]

I'm usually more used to school dances rather than an actual party but a friend won't stop bugging me unless I say yes.

Haven't really thought about what outfit to wear though.

[video]

[timelymaid]

So you've been to a lot of them before?

Me either! But I'm sure something will come up, probably. Either way, aren't you excited to see the resort?

[video]

[brokenmemories]

Orochi was scavenging something to eat when I got my ticket. I'm afraid he would've ate it if I didn't get it in time.

I've never went to an actual dance before but I'm assuming this might be some kind of big party. I'm definitely planning on going.

[video]

[timelymaid]

That's terrific, Misaki! Save me a dance, okay?

I wonder what brought this prom thing on, though.

[islandshore]

It wasn't hard to get mine. Gear saw something shiny falling from the sky, started screeching up a storm, and brought it back to me like an overeager puppy.

[He shakes his head, brushing a hand through his hair.]

But I think I'll be going. I'd have to be crazy to miss out on an event this big.

[timelymaid]

Haha, it sounds like people's pokemon have been pretty handy about getting the tickets.

And in a place none of us have ever gone before, to my knowledge! I wonder if there's a reason for the prom thing, or if they decided to do it just for fun?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Dances are quite wonderful events. I admit it does not quite sound as formal as the ones I'm used to, but I'd not miss it for anything in the world.

[video]

[timelymaid]

Yours are more formal? How so? And I'll definitely see you there, then!!

[ video ]

[unended]

I'll probably be going. I went to dance clubs back home but we didn't really have dance parties like this.

[ video ]

[timelymaid]

Be sure to save me a dance!

I never went to a dance club, either. ...actually, I'm not sure we had any? Did people do anything but dance at them?

[video]

[wontturntostone]

[Kanaya just smiles faintly, holding up her own ticket between two fingers.]

Blink and Twinkle were quite efficient at finding it, I hadn't realized they worked so well together...

[Frankly, she assumes anyone in a relationship works badly together at this point.]

And I doubt you have to guess if I am going. [Because dresses.]

[video]

[timelymaid]

Oh, that's great! Actually - are you in your room? I can't tell.

[video]

[combat_butler]

There used to be festivals here on a semi-regular basis that had dancing! All for different holidays, but they all always had dancing in some form or another. I think the people who organized them left, so they never really happen anymore...

[video]

[timelymaid]

That's really too bad! Perhaps a festival committee of some sort should be put together?

[ she just really likes parties okay ]

[Action]

[hoperaider]

[Sup, Aradia, have Jake's Emolga circle around your head while chittering excitedly. Jake isn't all that far behind, either.]

Robin found my ticket, but she almost tried to keep it for herself.

[He grins.]

I've never been to a dance, so this should be fantastic!

[Action]

[timelymaid]

[ Aradia just laughs at Robin's antics; Panini's still out and about from his own ticket-catching adventures, and he chitters right back from Aradia's shoulder. ]

Well, I think pokemon guests are probably allowed...! And I'm excited!! It'll be the first dance for a few of us, I think! ...Actually, I strongly doubt anyone in our travel group has ever been to one?

[video]

[ortion]

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...

[video]

[timelymaid]

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?

[video]

[gunkonmyboot]

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

[video]

[timelymaid]

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

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

[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.]

[video]

[timelymaid]

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. ]

[ghostytrainer]

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...

video;

[timelymaid]

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!

[Audio]

[iownahoofbeast]

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.

[Audio]

[timelymaid]

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.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

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.

[Video]

[timelymaid]

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!

[usedshooshpap]

What isn't exciting for you?

[timelymaid]

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?

video

[teablossom]

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.

video

[timelymaid]

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

[ video ]

[usedencore]

Can't say I'm going, but if you need help picking out something to wear, I'll totally help.

[ video ]

[timelymaid]

Well, perhaps we'll get a chance to meet in person another time! And I think Kanaya's making me a dress, actually, but I wouldn't mind advice! I'm not that...well, fashionable? Really?

Although I don't think my maybesprit cares.

[saxsongs]

[What's this? Finally a face for the guy who you've been texting with.]

I have been to quite a few dances. Most of them have been boring, important events... but some of the were rather enjoyable.

video

[timelymaid]

[ Shockingly enough!! ...The pitfalls of texting more than you video post. ]

Are you going to this one?
