“Yes, I’ll be right there. Of course.”

Lionel hung up the phone, glancing in the mirror to touch up hos his hair was tied back, fetching his bag and heading out of his home, into the woods. It wasn’t long before he crossed out of them again, heading into Floaroma Town. His new business partner, Dancing Petal, had agreed to advertise in his shop in Eterna by sending some merchandise an arrangements. He’d already set up a small stand of perfume at their shop, and was bringing a few bottles of a new fragrance for the display, but he also wanted to see what they’d send back with him.

He arrived at the shop, a bell ringing as he entered, heading straight for the counter.

“Hello!” he chimed. “It looks great in here.”

He glanced at the little space for his creations, opening his bag to fill an empty spot or two, noting they’d sold a couple of them, bringing a smile to his face.

Ahh... Nimbasa. What an exciting and glorious place for him to be! He smiled as he dismounts Absolon, his Noivern, and he pets his snout for a few seconds before returning him to his Pokeball. His cape flutters behind him, a nice wind accompanying the night life. The Burglar could almost compare this town to Lumiose, it was so bright and grand...!

The main difference to him, at least, was that it was just so loud. He had the feeling he wouldn’t hear peace, no matter where he went. His feet started to lead him through the town, but his hands would not leave any pockets alone. Left and right, it was simply too easy for his sticky fingers to snag valuables... As the night went on, it only got worse and worse. It was wonderful.

Aloysius now found himself sitting on one of the benches, closing his eyes and listening to the people around him. There was a certain music that was playing above everything else... And it caught his attention. He raised an eyebrow, and opened one eye. People who didn’t know him would think he was some sort of sophisticate snob. 

Elise was already beginning to regret taking this job.

At first, she was quite pleased that she would be able to put her skills as a pianist to good use while replenishing her wallet of the cash that she had spent far too frivolously, but now she was definitely having second thoughts.

The crowd wasn’t very large--after all, it wasn’t as if she was performing at an opera house, or even in a building at all. The stage--if it could be called that--was a simple wooden platform with a tall, red curtain to separate the audience from the “backstage” area. The audience itself was not much of an audience; there were quite a few families, couples, and groups of friends sitting comfortably on blankets spread across the plush green grass, and occasionally a passerby would stop for a moment to enjoy the music before moving along.

Harmony In Nature, is what the stage manager called it. It was a free concert that the city was hosting as an appreciation for its residents, and Elise was next on the set list.

“Gods, Jayden...how do you even--this is embarrassing...” Liah giggled as she struggled to pull the guitar strap over her lanky frame. Tangled up, she paused for a second to take stock of the foreign instrument around her neck. Her fingers were too long to delicately pluck at the strings and she probably had the entire operation on backwards, but hey, this was her first lesson and she was getting somewhere...

Plotted Beforehand; @rollingxrocker

Starring out towards the massive body of water, the young adult sighed. They were disappointed in the fact that his dream to open up a small beauty shop in Coumarine City came to an end. The city, as they were told, didn’t think a shop that sells beauty products would be a good addition to either section of the city -- the Hillcrest Cliffs, located in the nearby hills, and the Seaside, located on the ocean’s cliff. However, this setback did not discourage them. Alex let out another sigh and began smiling.

The night before they found their way to the city. Booked a room for the week and decided to play it by ear. Seeing that they received an early apology from the City Council, the young adult decided to finish out the week in the city and spent the next few hours in their room napping.

Upon waking up, they could hear someone in the downstairs lobby asking questions. Curious, they left the room and went downstairs where they located the person asking questions; a young male roughly their age who looked lost carrying what appeared to be a guitar case.

It had been a while since Petrel had been to Lavender town for more than just a simple pit-stop; in fact, the last time he spent more than an hour in time had probably been the raid on Lavender Tower, back in the day. Things had changed a little since then. Well, a lot since then. For one, he’s wearing a casual suit instead of his Rocket uniform, because there’s no Rocket to wear the uniform of—for another, there’s nothing in town that he really needs. He just... sort of ended up here. It’s a dead end. A ghost town.

He spends the day mostly wandering, trying to find the “bad side” of town to see if there was any money to be made there, but a part of him doubts it. So instead after a few hours of his aimless ambling, he ends up sitting outside one of those flouncy coffee shops with the seven-dollar “Italian” coffees, and he splurges a little to get the seasonal offering before just sitting outside with it and watching people pass by. It’s boring.

A heavy sigh leaves on his breath, and deciding he ought to skip town early and go find somewhere a little more interesting tomorrow, he dug a half-crumpled cigarette out of his pocket and patted his jacket’s pockets to find his lighter. It wasn’t there. He continued to pat his pockets. It wasn’t there. Shit. It must have been buried in his things at the motel; irritated despair began to creep into the peripherals of his day. Things just got better and better, didn’t they? With a huff, he cast his gaze idly around, side to side, before they settled on a guy nearby, and he called out to him.

“Hey.”
