Kealoha: “Risu.”

Risu: “Oh, Kealoha, you’re back! D- did you calm--”

Kealoha: “Shush. You’re on the Tundra crane. You know where to find it.”

Risu: “The Tund...? Hang on--”

Kealoha, sharply: “What?”

Risu: “Oh, I’m not complaining! Just wondering about that green one, that’s all.”

Kealoha: “Look, there’s only five of you; one of them had to get held back. I’ll probably do that one while you’re... yeah.”

Sully: “Ummmm, are you sure that’s a good idea, Ke? With your--”

Kealoha: “You’re not helping my headache, Sully.”

Sully: “--shutting up.”

Kealoha: “I’m so glad I get to see you all for what you are!”

Harukichi: “Urk.”

Mirabelle: *stepping back* “K-Kealoha--”

Risu: “What’s going-?”

Kealoha: “I’m so glad you only think of me as something to placate with pictures and cuddles before I rip you to shreds. Something to make calm... not someone to make happy.” *turns on heel and walks out* 

Sylvia: “Kea- no, Kealoha, come on-!” 

*slam*

Sully: “We’re all kinda waiting on you over here, zzzt?”

Mirabelle: “Oh, right, s-sorry! Hold on--” *puts turtle on her shoulder before running over* 

Harukichi: *rolls eyes* 

Mirabelle: “Okay, here I am! Sorry-” 

Sully: “Good to have you back, Mirabelle! Now then, all four of you’ve been through this whole zzzong and dance with Kiki before, haven’t you? Twice for each of you, in fact... probably not a good sign...”

Risu: *fidgets* “Don’t remind me.”

Sully: “So for now, only one question remains! ...” *less surely* “Which is, uh, run why you’re all in your formalwear by me again?”

Sylvia: “Well, it’s as you say, third time lucky! It’s a special occasion! Why not dress that way, right? B- besides, it might go easier on us if we look like we’re making a real effort for her from the get-go.”

Sully: “Depends if you’re gonna actually make the effort to back that up, I suppozzze--”

Harukichi: “We will! We’ve gotta. Especially with... you know.”

Risu: “Everything’s resting on you, little claw. You don’t even have to get me something huge - just let me beat Harukichi and I’ll be happy.”

Harukichi: “Pssh. You’re gonna have to get something huge to beat me, Stubs. I--”

Risu: “Okay, seriously, you’re starting to make me uncomfortable. Can you please call me something else?”

Harukichi: “Why should it make you uncomfortable? That save’s over now, it’s not like it matters anymore.”

Risu: “...I’m?”

Harukichi: *to themselves* “Dammit, Jessie, now you’ve got me doing it.”

Risu: “I don’t--” *clink* “Ugh, see, you distracted me and I missed it anyway. I hope you’re happ--”

*a scream, a clang*

Risu: “Okee dokee, let’s see what I’ve got going for poke-me... ...that sounded better in my head.”

...

Risu: “Oooh, a Han Crabominable action figure! I guess it makes sense it’d be in here - tundra and all.” *follows it to the hole* “Just hope I--”

*thud*

Risu: “Yesss!” *fist-pumps* “Papa’s gonna love this! He’s... ...wait, do we keep this?” *turns* “Kealoha, do we get to k--”

Kealoha: *snarls at the machine*

Sully: “Mmmmmmmm-Mirabelle! You’re up!”

Mirabelle: *jumps* “Uh-!! Okay! Sure. Whatever makes... um, which one am I?”

Sully: “The Desert one.”

Hotaru: “Steady now.” 

...

Hotaru: “Hm, a bootleg Lapras toy. Not bad... Definitely worth more than Han Crabominable.”

Risu: “You sure? Mine’s the genuine article--”

Hotaru: *with a wry smile* “I meant the man.”

Risu: “Hey!!”

*thud*

Hotaru: “Nothing personal, Risu. Boxing’s simply a little too... graceless for my taste.”

Sylvia: “Oh, like you can talk about graceless!”

Kealoha: “Let me have the stupid prize!” *bashes herself against the crane again* “I’m not in the mood for this!!”

Sully: “Ke- Kiki, calm down-!!”

Kealoha: *starts shaking it* “Am I not even good enough for that?!”

Sully: “Kiki, for Arceus’s sake, you’ll break the machine!!”

Sylvia: “Should we-?”

Mirabelle: *backing away*

Sully: “No, you can’t get through to her like this, I’ll -” *shouts* “Hotaru! Quick! City crane, before she breaks that too!!” 

Hotaru, acting way too calm for this situation: “Very well.”

Kealoha: *punches the glass, breathing heavily*
