[action-- business district: salvage shop and (later) surrounding areas]
[The salvage shop is a frequent stop on Moonbay's travels, earning a visit from her roughly twice a week. Its owner has come to both fear, respect and tolerate her throughout the years, and one could say the feeling is mutual. Arguments over decent prices are often heard during those visits, and today is no exception.
Anyone around the shop, or even out on the street, can most likely hear some shouting, a few choice words more prominent than others.]
Twenty bucks for this piece?! C'mon, I could get more from the guy two streets over-- the one who eats Pokemon food, and he doesn't even know what it is!! Thirty or no deal.
[Similar talks continue for at least another half hour until Moonbay grabs her bag of remainders, pockets a wad of cash, and steps out the door to leave with a wave to the store owner.
Then she finds her rhyhorn missing. Again. With an exasperated sigh, she takes her warp band and begins to speak.]
[voice;]
If anyone's around the business district, specifically the salvage shop, I've got a little issue. My rhyhorn's wandered off [again] and I have no idea which way he went. So if you see a random one nosing through stuff or generally being weirdly social, gimme a call. Name's Moonbay. Damned thing.
I'll be looking myself, so... I guess watch out?

[Irvine knows how he is. Can't even remember his name 90% of the time.]
Doesn't make him any less your responsibility though.
[Clearly you should know better by now.]

That wasn't even a thing. Wasn't even close to being a thing.]

[Instead of, you know, running off into the night.]

[The rich guy is probably still waiting. He feels bad for him on some level. On another, not so much at all.]
If you can lose a Rhyhorn after ten minutes, who knows how long you'd be able to keep some guy hanging off your arm. Either you'd give up or they would.

You said you lost him in the business district?

Hope you saved a few bucks while you off harassing the salvage shops, though. You might need the cash to cover any incidental property damage.

Also, I'm passing on the compensation. I earned this money myself.

I'll meet you over there then. If someone's found him, just call.
no subject
See you soon.
-> Action
He spots Moonbay soon enough, and lifts up a casual hand in greeting.]
Hey.

But anyone who knows either of them would know that's a load of Tauros dung. While they are friends (inability to admit that aside), the young woman normally always has ulterior motives for appearing that happy.]
Oh thank god, Irvine!!
no subject
Guess this is where I ask what you want.
[Though that was probably obvious. No one had run into her Rhyhorn yet? That's... almost surprising.]
no subject
I've gotten people saying they've seen or heard him in three separate sectors of the city, and we both know that's complete crap. You're here to track him down with me.
