maybe she's born with it

"A-ah! Oh… Troubling…" His smile faded and his hand fell to a level of excitement more appropriate to a man in his puzzled state. "I would love to organize everything on my own accord, but I really haven’t the slightest idea what my scheduling will be like…" He tiled his head up from blatant stupor. "You wouldn’t happen to know how I can get a line with the dean, do you?"

The dean? May forgot there was even a dean for colleges. "I've never seen him around ever. Shouldn't you have some special professor hotline where you can ask people questions?" She shrugged. "I'm just a regular student, but I would love to help with anything that I can!! Even if it's just being your errand girl!"

”.. .. Morning.”

The girl was pouring milk into her cereal when the aforementioned person sat down.The two hadn't really talked since she began staying here. "Hi...!" May started, taking the stool two away from his. He wasn't doing anything besides just sitting... "Are you here to kick me out?" She said with a laugh. "The dorms are opening up again soon, yeah?"

A small puffing sigh slipped through Wallace’s lips. “Hmph. I’d certainly hope we’d be making them in my class… Accessories and addons, at the very least.” His arms shuffled across his chest as he looked onto May with one eye half open. “What sort of clothing do you think you’d want to try to make, missy?”

"Yeaaah!! I'm sure we'd be making all sorts of stuff. Don't you get to decide, being the professor and all? I'd be happy with anything really. I like cute things! With pink! Yellow! Bright things that shimmer under stage lights and matched my Pokemon. That's what it's important for contests, right??"

idols!

With the elevator finally opening up, Red quickly ventured from it and opened his front door. Revealing the inside of his home, you know, all the rich people shit and what not. He just wandered in from that point with May’s bags and set them wherever.

Her mind wavered slightly when she saw the interior, however. There was a full sized fridge!!!!!! "Well... I mean... since you're offering, I guess I'll stay. But I'm warning you, try anything and I'll punch you right between the eyes!" Silly May, you don't know how to defend yourself.

"Try not to consider Pokemon battles all too different from contests. If there’s nothing else I can recommend, it’s that you train your strength and your grace together. You’ll find your own style somewhere along the line." He lifted up his free hand and gave May a thumbs-up in kind. "The thing? Heheh, it’s not as if I own this." He felt a little embarrassed at the notion, but it was flattering at the same time. "Of course! Costumes might even help you in your day to day life! I don’t want to spoil anything, though…" His voice trailed off, attempting to entice the girl as much as he could without seeming pushy.

"I already love wearing clothes, costumes probably aren't much different." Her eyes sparkled at the thought of her twirling around in a giant princess ball gown underneath a sky of stage lights. "Do you make them in your class too? The costumes, I mean. I-I know you don't want to spoil the class but I really really want to know more about it!"

A small smirk formed on his lips as he replied, “The League isn’t all there is to life, after all. Ahah. I gave up both the Wallace Cup and the Sootopolis gym position to my peers. What they decide to do with them is completely up to them.” Wallace brought his right arm to his hip, as he long ago often did, and as his posters often depicted. It was fairly obvious not to have been an intentional movement, but a reflex driven up by the conversation at hand. “Not long at all, I see. Is your schedule set in stone? Maybe you should see about attending my costumes class.” The “May” in his pronunciation of “maybe” sounded particularly long played, and someone not paying full attention could possibly confuse it for something like the name of a month.

And then Wallace did the thing. The Wallace thing. "Y-you're doing the thing...!" Ah, yes of course. The thing. May wished she could look as intense and focused as Wallace did in that moment. Even during gym battles, her body language looked like she took the battles as a joke, even though she was very serious. "Hmm... costumes class,,, do you think a costume helps coordinating?"

"You could… put it that way. There were a few complications with my staying as league champion, so I decided to leave it behind me. That’s all kind of a reason why I’m here now, too. Hopefully whoever’s taken it up knows what they’re doing. Ah! So, how long have you been here, then?"

"I just got here, actually! I arrived in the middle of the summer quarter but now there's a break until Fall Quarter so I'm just hanging out! Hopefully I do okay when I actually have classes to go to. I've never been enrolled in a real university before."

"Since you last saw me?" He tilts his head at May, trying to put a name to her face but fails time and time again. "Oh, yes, actually I’ll be staying nearby for some time while I teach the Costume Arts course here." To avoid being completely awkward about forgetting her name, he continues, "What about you? A student, I’m assuming?"

"Yeah, I'm a student. I figured my battling skill wouldn't get me that far in life, so here I am. Last I heard, you were a champion, yeah? Did someone beat you, and that's why you're here?"

 ”.. ..” Keeping silent for the time being, as soon as the elevator door opened up he was dragging those two girls in it with him, and heading up to the top floor. At least… He wouldn’t be coming home to an empty home whenever he did venture back to this place.

"H-hey... Could you just like.... give me some clue as to what's going on here. My camping buddy and I are.... confused." They had both given up on running away already. May knew college would bring her some weird experiences, but it was a little too early in her endeavor to comfortably see a man in the nude.

  But then the blonde was picked up too (with Red's grotesque third arm) and they were both carried away. "Camping buddy noooo!! Where are you taking us?" 

[アルファオメガ]

"There is no need to apologize. I truly do appreciate the interest." A slight chuckle escaped his lips. "If anything, I ought to be the one apologizing for my inability to condense my answers. I am afraid I tend to drone on and on even when asked the simplest of questions."

"Anyway, it's been so great talking to you Prof- uh, Thorton! But sadly, I have many other professors to talk to about classes today, so I gotta get going. I hope my conversations with them are even half as interesting as they are with you." May smiled. She really got convinced to take a class, just as she came here to do. "I'll see you around?"
