004 [Video/Action]

[toxicrevenger]

[Pamela looks quite different on this warp band broadcast. Her eyes are much lighter, she's lost the glasses, and her skin's quite pale - it's almost white with a slight greenish hue. Her hair even grew a few inches. In fact, someone who didn't know her well probably wouldn't recognize her until she starts speaking.]

'Tis the season to evolve, it seems. I'm going to need a mostly new wardrobe - at least for the things I can't just have altered. I'd welcome some company.

[Her Roselia nudges her shoulder insistently and pipes up. Those who understand Pokemon will hear him saying "The party, Pamela! You promised!" Pamela sighs a bit but smiles shortly afterward.]

Yes, Basil, I won't forget. My family is insisting that I have a big party for my birthday this year. It's a month from now and I'm extending a formal invitation to everyone. Please RSVP with at least five days' notice if you'll be coming for dinner. Otherwise, there will be a buffet.

[Basil nods approvingly and Pamela disconnects the video feed.]


[Action - Out in a clearing in the Verdant Forest near Union's walls]

[She'd thought about asking, but in the end decided to see what she could do on her own with the Leaf element enhanced sword she'd been given for her part in aiding Caldera.

It's quite apparent that she's a beginner. She's got a basic grasp of "aim the pointy end at the opponent" and her footwork isn't awful solely because she knows how to dance. There's some grace to her movements. Just not much skill. Anyone who knows what they're doing could disarm her very quickly.

Her Gloom, a baby Oddish, her Roselia, a baby Scyther and her Venusaur are sitting back and watching her with some mild amusement. Sage the Venusaur lets out a little warning growl when he hears someone approaching. Pamela stops what she's doing and glances in the direction Sage is indicating.]

Oh, hello.


(ooc note: With Pamela's 1st evolution comes pheromone powers. They aren't very powerful yet and have a short range of approximately 3 feet or so. She's currently unaware that she has them. If you want to embarrass your character a little, please feel free to have an awkward moment. Otherwise, please feel free to comment on that perfume that suits her so well)

[It takes her a moment, but...]

...Pamela?

Video

[toxicrevenger]

Hi Lenna. Quite a drastic change, isn't it?

[She's happy with it, though, and it shows through in her expression.]

Video

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

It suits you.

[If her friend is happy with it, so is she.]

Video

[toxicrevenger]

Is it safe to assume you're attending my party?

Video

[niepokonany]

Oh, my gods, looking fierce!

And you know I'm in for the party, since it's you.

Video

[toxicrevenger]

I'm glad to hear it. Are you in for joining me for a shopping trip? I've got a lot of things that don't quite right anymore.

[niepokonany]

Gods, I bet. It was pretty had for me when I evolved, too!

Me, shopping? Like, who'd believe a thing like that? [He laughs.] Duh, I'm down for it!

[toxicrevenger]

Perfect. I think I'll give away the clothes that are still in good condition and suitable for travel to Calderan refugees.

action let's get some embarrassment hoowah

[makeitquick]

[ Melaka has been training in the Verdant Forest with her babies, and thus obviously also has their Guardian flapping around there, showing off a bit to be back in his home turf. Showing off to the wild pokémon, that is.

But yeah it's been a lot of picking fights with relatively weak things and exploring when Melaka spots... it's the Venusaur she spies first, and immediately goes wary. Because that is a big and powerful looking thing. But shortly thereafter she hears the woman training, and oh- it's another Trainer. Mel adopts a more relaxed expression because it's near the walls anyway. So she steps into the clearing holding up one arm to signal she's here and try not to surprise everyone in it. The babies hobble after her.]

Hoi.

[Action]

[toxicrevenger]

[She was a little loopy when she met this girl before, but Pamela does remember her. Did they ever exchange names? She's not sure. She more clearly remembers the race between Sage and Sneak than anything else.]

Nice day, isn't it?

[Action]

[makeitquick]

Yeah, not bad. I was giving the babies a workout.

[ Though given the two are a few months old now, are they still babies? Who knows. But she clarifies that intent as she steps in. Does she recognize the woman? Not... really. Something seems familiar, but ]

Action:

[freelyfalling]

[Braig's out here taking a stretch while he's got some down time; his Murkrow is perched on his shoulder where it can cover his blind spot. Still getting used to it, and all.

He gives a friendly laugh as he sees her - ]

Got to start somewhere, haven't we?

Action

[toxicrevenger]

[She offers an amused smile in return.]

That's the idea. It would be a shame to waste a gift I got in Caldera just because I haven't had any training.

Re: Action

[freelyfalling]

Oh, absolutely. [He smiles at her slightly-] Now, I'm more of a gunslinger than a swordsman, but I'm sure I can give a few pointers, if you want?

[Mary's out playing with her Pokemon again, exploring the Verdant Forest, when she notices Pamela and her Pokemon up ahead.

...And because Mary might have tuned in and out of the "don't talk to strangers" speech most children her age should have had already, she has very little hesitation in trying to stealthily move closer to get a better look at the Pokemon here, accompanied by her own grass-types like Oddish, Phantump and a Chikorita.

When the Venasaur starts to growl though, she does attempt to duck behind a nearby tree, hoping that they hadn't spotted her yet. Probably too little too late though, since she can clearly be seen behind this tree anyway, but she attempts to hide, at least until the other Trainer says hello, so she'll peek back out from behind the tree.]

Hi! Um...what are you and your friends doing out here? [It looked like you were playing around with a sword or something?]

Action

[toxicrevenger]

[Pamela lowers her sword and motions to Sage that he can relax.]

I received this sword as a gift, so I thought I ought to learn how to use it. My friends are supervising and keeping an eye out for anyone who might be approaching so that I won't get startled while I'm practicing.

[ingoodhans]

That's certainly quite the growth spurt.

[ Hans chuckles. He'd recognize that voice anywhere-- my goodness, they grow up so fast, don't they? ]

I'll be there, of course. If you need any help with planning the party, do let me know.

[ From one noble to another, you know how it is. But more importantly... ]

Your pokemon certainly seem excited. Party pokemon, are they?

Video

[toxicrevenger]

It was quite a surprise this morning.

[A welcome one, though. It's kind of like puberty part two.]

My mother will be doing most of the planning with my grandparents, but thank you for the offer. Basil is the one who likes parties the most.

[The little Roselia waves to Hans from behind Pamela.]

Video

[ingoodhans]

You look good. [ He smirks. ] I hope a new look isn't the only thing your evolution gave you.

[ Either way, it'll definitely be better than waking up with freaky eyes like Hans will soon. ]

I'm sure whatever they have planned will be lovely.

[ Hans waves at her Roselia, smiling. ]

Looking for another chance to dance, huh?

[usedstringshot]

[It only takes a couple of moments for it to register who he's talking to.]

Looking good Pam.

Video

[toxicrevenger]

Thank you, Peter. How have you been lately?

Re: Video

[usedstringshot]

Oblivious enough to somehow miss an entire war, for starters. I was doing research out at the eastern end of the forest.

video

[globetrotting]

[ Wow. ]

Wow. [ Because it cannot be overstated. ] You look like a whole new person, Pamela! You don't need your glasses anymore?

video

[toxicrevenger]

No, I don't. Evolving seems to have corrected my vision.

[Along with giving her a curvier figure, but it's more polite to say that most of her old clothing doesn't fit.]

video

[globetrotting]

Well, that's very kind of it. How do you feel? And it's going to be your birthday soon -- would you say life is definitely looking up for you?
