We turn not older with years but newer every day

[toxicrevenger]

Who: Pamela Isley and OPEN
What: Pamela’s 19th birthday party. Everyone is invited.
When: July 18th
Where: The Isley manor

[Although Pamela’s mother Cordelia Isley is a known socialite, the Isleys don’t often throw parties – or not large ones, anyhow. Pamela’s father Walter Isley is a high ranking Engineer and a workaholic, so most Isley parties are just small affairs organized solely by Cordelia, or sometimes by Pamela’s grandparents, Hugh and Jocasta. In the latter case, the parties tend to be for an older crowd.

In light of Pamela’s nineteenth birthday, her recent evolution, and her involvement in the diplomatic relations between Union and Caldera, her grandparents felt generous and decided to throw a large party. Pamela herself had been hoping for a small event, but her grandparents and mother were having none of it. So Pamela took it upon herself to personally improve her grandparents’ front yard and garden. There’s a long winding path leading up to the Isley home, thoroughly adorned with flowers that are in full bloom.

The invitation was extended to everyone in Union as well as their Calderan visitors. Although nowhere near the entire city is here, there’s still a fairly large turnout of people from all social stations ranging from poor to nobility.]



(ooc: Changed the date from the 19th to the 18th so that characters can attend without clashing with the upcoming game plot!)

Yeah, I suppose so, huh? [His hand goes up behind his head.] I can't imagine living without them, it's hard to think of how at one time us humans were pitted against pokémon.

[globetrotting]

Was it strange for you the first time you went outside? We've always lived side by side with pokémon in here, but it's a different story how we're seen to the pokémon in the wild.

[garbagedisposal]

I was a kid when I first went out. It's been a long time, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. It couldn't of been more exciting. And I remember talking to my first pokémon too that day, it was really something else. We got along just fine, and even though I didn't bond with it, I'll always remember that pokémon really are just as important as anyone else. He didn't seem to mind me, since I wasn't trying to do anything hurtful to him or anything else.

It must be hard, to learn to trust us. I'm glad we've got these things- [He indicates the warp band-] even if I don't need it.

[globetrotting]

[ Ah, someone with the ability to speak on a more personal level with pokémon, was he? Blue listens with interest, smile brightening to the end of his words. He was a nice guy, despite his interest earlier to take her food!

There's a small pause before she speaks up herself. ]

I wonder if he remembers you too. [ the smile turns slightly cheeky ] Meeting a little strange looking thing he might've never seen before - I bet you were an energetic little kid too. [ heheh. ]

At least by now the pokémon in the forest must be used to us. [ Or keeping out of their way. ] Which is very good. So many people are always taking an interest in becoming trainers it seems, young and old. I remember helping a man who was very nervous about the outside because of the dangers... it's interesting, really.

[ she presses a finger onto the table, silent for a second. ] Goku, what do you think about the different societies out there? Not just pokémon - but the people too? I remember someone saying about the further we go outside, the more attention we attract. The Union's been through a lot recently, after all. Have you thought much about any of it?

[garbagedisposal]

Well... [His voice trails off, taking time now to think about it.] I guess I haven't thought about it too much, but I always figured that one day, we'd be able to find all the other cities and settlements. Or, they'd find us. I mean, it's only natural to want to get out there and explore.

There's probably a lot we can learn from them, but I'm more excited to see what kinds of different foods they have. [What you think the food line of thought was over, you were wrong]

And if they have any strong fighters for me to go head to head against. [Nope that line of thinking hasn't gone away either sorry]

[globetrotting]

[ Blue giggles - and it turns more into a laugh for a second or two before she hides her mouth behind a hand. She hadn't really known where such a question would go, but wowwww. ]

Really! [ okay, okay, let her calm, she's got this ] So I guess for you, as long as everyone is well and safe, you'll be happy either way. [ heheh ] And if you get to experience good foods and fights too, huh?

[garbagedisposal]

[He nods, she's got it exactly. Didn't take long for her to figure him out.]

Yeah, that's about it! [His head inclines to one side.] Why's that so funny?

[globetrotting]

Because out of everything we could discover in this big wide place we know nothing about, you think about eating and fight!

[garbagedisposal]

Well, sure, there's nothing wrong with that is there? [Speaking of which, here comes the next course...]

Oh, wow!!! Look at all that food, oh man, I'm starving still! [Look how excited he is!]

[globetrotting]

You know, they say that if you eat slower it'll make you feel fuller. [ but oh, goody! More food! ]

[garbagedisposal]

Aw, I don't eat that fast. [And he digs in. And he MOTORS through his food, dishes clanging, bowls emptying, a machine that couldn't be stopped.

Look at it disappear. Isn't it gross.]

[globetrotting]

[ SHE HASN'T EVEN TAKEN A BITE YET, GOKU... GOKU...


SLOW DOWN GOKU... ]

[garbagedisposal]

[CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP

MOTOR MOTOR MOTOR NOM NOM NOM NOM SCARF UUUURP NOM OM NOM

SLUUUUUUUURRRRRRRP]

Brue! You havern't even touch-d aneethhhhing! Are'nt ooo gunna eet?

[globetrotting]

Goku! You're at a dinner! [ like wow come on we're not nobility here BUT ] Slow it down, okay? You're not at your house!

[ BAD GOKU BAD. ]

[garbagedisposal]

Sho? [SLURRRRRRRP in goes another huge bite.]

I always eat like this, is there something wrong?

[globetrotting]

You're being loud. It's rude. [ Yes there is something wrong.]

And if you can't close your mouth while you're chewing, you're eating too much at once. Come on. [ Sooo not impressed. ]

[garbagedisposal]

Gosh, sorry Blue. I'll try to slow it down... [He really looks like he feels bad, so he does. He slows down, a lot. But it doesn't take long before he's starting to quicken his pace because you can't stop shonen from eating like pigs.]

It shure is good though-!

[globetrotting]

Mmhmm, it is. But just remember... [ Yes she is totally making that voice. CHEW. SLOWLY. SHHH, GOKU.

And you can certainly try to keep a shounen cool with their eating. At least at a dinner party okay. ]</SMALL.

[garbagedisposal]

[Who does he look like Gohan]

[He's back at full force chomping already. Slurping, noming, dishes clanging until he empties all of it. He waves and calls out to a waiter who isn't too far off from them.]

Excuse me! More please!

[globetrotting]

[ Nope. Blue's standing up and putting the napkin on her lap onto the table. This is not the face of an amused individual. ]

[garbagedisposal]

[He sees her stand up. Um....?]

Ah...are you mad...?

[What could she ever be that mad about?]

[globetrotting]

Yes. I asked you to keep it down, but you chose your own appetite over showing a dinner mate some respect.

[ Tucking her chair in. ]

You've made me lose my appetite, so I'm going for a walk.

[garbagedisposal]

Sorry.... [He can't help it, he just eats like that! But he lets her go, because she seems really mad and he doesn't want to make her more mad.]

[globetrotting]

[ She shakes her head, but yes, she's going. Sorry doesn't quite cut it right now and she has a pokémon with her she can go and check on. ]
