Plot Description: Spring Gala at the Fabre's!

Every year, Judge Fabre throws a birthday party for Asch and Luke's mother Suzanne. Because she's a bit sickly, the party is thrown outside when the air is the freshest in the spring. Any and all nobles and those of high standing in the community are invited, but there are... ways for the common rabble to get in and have a good time as well. Namely, the part of the manor ground's fencing that was torn down during the earthquakes. That, or maybe the guards are having a good time too and wandered away for some ...action. Either way, everyone's eligible! There will be food and drinks (children, mind the wine,) cake, dancing and more! Don't forget the fireworks at midnight, it might be something romantic for you and your sweetie. Wear something nice and mingle!

Warnings/Notes: Nothing but fancy outfits and maybe a little alcohol around here.

Welcome to the Fabre's, please enjoy your stay.

You must really like fish.

[ She liked fish well enough, but she was more partial to other meats. Regardless, she did grab a plate and start piling on the food. ]

Hilda, get some for me, too?

Did you think I'd forget?

Maybe.

Rude.

Definitely! It's a lot more expensive than other food, so I'm not often able to afford it since there's more important things to be buying. However, when I have the chance I always enjoy it!

[He's mostly indifferent to other meats; greens and seafood were his preferences. Soon enough, his plate fills with fish and leafy vegetables, and he carries a second plate with smaller portions of fish and meat for Tonitrus. The blonde chuckles at the interactions between his two friends and flashes a smile.]

So, shall we find a place to sit or do we want to just stand? I'll let you decide, if you'd like! And then later we can look around!

We should probably sit. If I'm going to be wearing a dress, I should put myself at as little risk as possible of getting food on it ...

[ She'll probably get food on it anyway. ]

And yes, Sam, I got you some food!

[ Sam just looks so smug over there. ]

[Aster nods.]

That works for me! I wonder if they allow pokemon at the table, though.

[He finds a place to sit and places his food down. He would look around to see others with their pokemon and see what they were doing. If others had pokemon at the table, he would let Tonitrus do the same, but if not, he would put the extra plate on the floor for the Eevee to enjoy.]

[The people around were dressed in far finer things than he, too, so he felt a little out of place. He tried to not let it bother him too much, though, because it was his idea to come here.]

I don't think it's going to be a big deal. If it is, then, well, we shouldn't be here anyway.

[ She's going to let Sam eat at the table anyway. Screw that, Sam is her best friend and she's going to treat him the way he deserves to be treated. Like an equal.

Sam is okay with this, too. He's totally eating at the table. ]

That's true!

[And thus, Tonitrus would sit beside the Mareep to eat his meal.

Mm...this tastes delicious. Whoever cooked all of this food is good!

[The Eevee nods and makes some satisfied noises as he devours his food.]

So, [he asks between bites] what would you like to do once we're done here?

Maybe you two should go dancing. There's plenty of people I saw doing that. It'd be fun!

[For him, especially. The Eevee knows that Aster has never danced a day in his life, so it would probably provide for great amusement to any onlooker.]

Dancing ...?

[ Hilda focused more on her food. It was good. ]

I've ... never actually been dancing before.

There's no better time to try!

Neither have I.

[The researcher shrugs.]

It's not something I'd been interested in enough to learn, to be honest.

It couldn't be that hard, surely, boss. There's some people who looked stupider than you that were able to do it!

[Aster ignores Tonitrus's second comment.]

I mean...I guess we could try.

[He wears a small frown, unsure.]

If you want ... I can't promise I'll be very good at it, but if you want to try it I guess I can try it with you.

You two are going to look so funny on the dance floor.

Shut up and eat your food, Sam.

[ Best friends indeed. ]

I'm not opposed to trying new things! It couldn't go too badly, right?

[Tonitrus only snickers.]

I can't wait to see this.

Orrrr it could go way badly. But I guess we won't know until we try it!

[ She supposed she'd have to try it, now. Sam keeps quiet, but he's very, very amused. ]

[It's so going to go badly, even if he's determined for it not to.]

[Aster finishes his food eventually and he gets up.]

Shall we go over and try, then?

[Tonitrus glances over at Sam with the same smirk and he begins to whisper to the other pokemon.]

So, how long do you think it'll take until they start tripping up and stepping on each other's toes?

[ She's not quite finished with hers, but he seems ready to go ... and she may as well try dancing and realize quickly how much they fail at it sooner than later. She stands up, too, brushing the skirt of her dress off. ]

May as well!

[ Sam continues to smirk. ]

Not even five minutes. What's your guess?

Let's go, then!

[The blonde starts off toward the area in which he had seen people dancing.]

Oh, I wouldn't even give them that. A minute, tops.

[ She follows after him, obviously nervous about this entire idea. Sam laughs a little. ]

They are so doomed. Let's sit back and watch this trainwreck.

Sounds great to me! This is going to be good.

[Upon arriving, Aster first takes a bit of time to watch others around them for the general idea of what to do. Oh, Savior, why did he agree to do this?]

So, then. Let's get this over with?

[Another glance at the others before he moves to a leading position. Not a good idea. Then again, none of it was a good idea.]

[ No, this was a terrible idea. Terrible and awful and the two of them were going to look like complete idiots. She tries to take his lead, though. Her face is totally red as she's suddenly closer to him than she ever has been before ...

... Wow, uh. This was more than a little weird. She'd definitely never been this close to anyone before, and she wasn't sure how to feel about that. ]

She looks so uncomfortable!

[ Sam is trying so hard not to laugh too loud. His trainer really does look awkward though. ]

[Aster doesn't seem to mind the closeness. He's completely oblivious to it, even.]

[He keeps eying people around and watching them for ideas on how to proceed. He was doing pretty okay so far, actually!]

She does! I'm just waiting any minute for them to mess up...

[It was going so well, and then he did a derp and stepped on her right foot with his left. Whoops.]

Ow!

[ Ow, ow, ow, her foot. Her FOOT. This of course, causes her to trip up and step on his foot in turn. ]

Ow- I'm sorry!

And there they go. They were doing pretty good for a little bit, though.

I'm sorry!

[And when it was his turn to be stepped on, he flinched.]

D-don't worry about it. It's fine!

[Aster tries to recover and move straight back into attempted dancing...but trips and falls forward!]

This is so worth watching.

[ WHOA WHOA. She's gonna catch him as he falls forward, trying to keep them both upright on the dance floor. ]

I think this is a massive failure, friend.

[ Sam agrees with Toni. ]

I think my night is absolutely made.

[Better than falling on her, anyway. After all, that would most definitely be awkward!]

Y-yes, maybe you're right.

[He flushes a bit when he admits this. So maybe this wasn't the smartest idea to listen to Tonitrus...]

Agreed. Think we could convince them to try again if there was ever another chance?

Do you want to keep trying, or should we admit defeat and go find something else to do?

[ Let's add dancing to the growing list of things Hilda isn't good at. More to feel inferior about, clearly. ]

Let's see what the do for now. We can always suggest more embarrassing things for them to do later.

I think we should go do something else. We tried, at least! We can always get better later if we wanted to! Shall we look around and look for more things to do?

I'm sure there will be plenty of times, with those two.

Yeeaaah ... let's go get the Pokemon and go find something else to do.

Oh, probably! They're amusing.
