bravenewworld | 004 [Video/Action]

[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)

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?

Evolution was very kind to me. I think it's the gods' way of making up for my awkward years from ages eleven to fourteen.

[Because oh wow was she ever an awkward gawky little thing back then.]

Admittedly I'd been hoping to have a smaller party, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

[Inviting everyone in Union is her tame and good natured revenge for her family deciding to ignore her wishes. She sincerely doubts everyone in Union is going to show up anyway, but this at least increases the odds of Pamela encountering people she likes rather than a bunch of people 20+ years older than her that she barely knows saying "I remember when you were this big."]

Oh, no. I hope they'll consider giving me a little gift then for those years! [ She laughs. Who didn't have an awkward young childhood? ]

Are you still accepting guests to that? I'm really no good with parties, but I'd love to at least give you something.

No gift is required beyond your attendance, Blue. Everyone is welcome to attend. The only restriction is that we're asking everyone to RSVP with at least five days' notice if they intend to be there for the dinner, both for themselves and any guests they may be bringing - including their Pokemon.

[They do need to have some idea of how much food to pre-order, after all.]

Well... are you certain? At least if you ever think there's something I can help you get in the future, let me know. Or help you with, anyway. But, hm... I'll bring one pokémon, if that's okay. I wouldn't want to overcrowd your party, and I have an ivysaur who I'm sure would love to see your collection.

I'm positive. I've got a couple of projects in mind for the future and I might contact you about one of them once I have more details ironed out.

Your Ivysaur would be welcome.

Alright, I'll be waiting for your call. See you another time, Pamela.

I'll talk to you soon, Blue.
