[Normally Noire shows up looking depressed, scared, fatigued, and forlorn. Today, she's... depressed, scared, fatigued, and forlorn, and now you can add in really, really confused to the mix. Judging from her surroundings, she appears to be hiding in an alleyway, hugging two things - her Murkrow, and a Luvdisc plush. Remember what those do?]

E-excuse me... I'm sorry to bother you all, but, um, I've been having a strange couple of days. I don't know what's going on... Have I finally blossomed into womanhood, or have all the men here have gotten extremely desperate? ... E-either way! All the people pursuing me... I-It's very kind of you, but I don't think I should be taking up a relationship right this moment!

I mean, maybe, someday, I might want to, b-but right now is a really bad time! So... please take that into consideration...

[She sighs, not realizing the luvdisc plush has winked again.]

ACTION

Destiny, use Haze!

[Murkrow crows, letting out a distinct fog that should hopefully be enough cover for now. Using this chance, Noire and Destiny the bird Pokemon run into the nearest building - it may be your house, your place of business, etc, but she's there now, the door slamming behind her as she catches her breath. Is she finally safe? ... Well, guess what she still has in her arms.]

[ And it's...! ... A shop next door to a much larger shop. This small shop seems to be being run by a Jigglypuff, who is looking up at her through his glasses with a deeply disapproving look. Who are you and why are you here and are you going to buy something.

...

You know at least his human partner is in the back today, to check on the store, if this gets to be a hassle ]

[She'd think this was incredibly adorable, if not for the situation at hand. For the record, the Murkrow glares right back, in a "Take a picture, it'll last longer" kind of way. As for Noire, she flinches at the disapproval.]

I-I'm sorry! Can... Can I stay in here for just a few moments?

[ As long as you buy something on the way out.

This is a salvage shop, by the way, full of items that were discarded or "borrowed" from humans in the city and then resold, either of humans who stepped in or to other pokémon willing to trade or shell out their Trainer's coffers. There's all sorts of things in here.

Still, the Jigglypuff nods after that clarification - though his eyes do end up going towards the doll... ]

[She sighs in relief.]

Thank you so much... I've just been having the strangest day... I don't think you'd even believe me if explained...

[She wanders around - may as well be polite and buy something. Destiny the Murkrow is eyeing the shiniest of objects, as her kind tends to do. The doll is of course just a doll - a winking doll.]

[ A winking... doll.

A winking doll. And that's it, that's when the Jigglypuff is hooked. Oh sure, he had been picking up this cigar and a lighter to light up to calm his nerves, but when he sees the doll, he instead hops the counter, preens himself up towards Noire, and saunters over to her.

Madame, I don't think you should content yourself with these trifles, allow me to take you to the back and show you the finer goods. ]

[Noire blinks at the sudden change in attitude, but assumes this puff is just being nice. She smiles, relieved.]

Aren't you a sweet little one? Honestly, I could use a dose of kindness.

[But Destiny the Murkrow isn't as naive. She glares daggers, puffing her chest out, as she sits on Noire's shoulder.

Back off, buddy.]

[ Oh, you silly punk, you think you can stop him?

He gives the bird a very nasty look before smiling back for Noire, bowing, and then motioning for her to follow him towards the back.

... And as he does, he Sings. So that he can make one or both of them fall asleep ]

[Noire follows him, finally relaxing.]

Maybe this day has finally started... working... out...

[THUD. SQUAWK. Those are the sounds that are made when a young lady falls flat on the floor on her face asleep and a bird nearly joins her. Destiny now flaps into the air, startled, and starts screeching loudly at him.

I hope you don't like those big eyes of yours, pinky, cause I'm gunna scratch 'em out!]

[ Tch, why did it have to be her and not you. You know what, he's going to shoot first! Have another burst of sound, this time a shoot of sound waves called a Disarming Voice. Eat a fairy move and begone, birdy!

Meanwhile, this is attracting Melaka's attention from the back of the shop, by the sound of the footsteps ]

[Destiny is hit, hitting a wall in shock. She falls to the floor, but gets up, flapping her wings.

You wanna rumble? WE'RE GUNNA RUMBLE.

She dashes forward, intending to use Wing Attack in order to smack him senseless. Noire, meanwhile, snores away. Apparently this is a very comfortable floor.]

Gunther, the hell was that?

[ Said the human woman walking into the room, pushing her way past a false wall here in the back of the shop. And she looks in to glance at ... the battle.

...

Wow.

Gunther takes the blow, but that is just rude. And you know how we repay that? We're going to just smack him over and over. Doubleslap it is ]

[OW. OW. OW. OW. OW. DUDE, KNOCK IT OFF.

It's not Super Effective, but a five times blow will affect anyone. Destiny stumbles backwards, dizzy, but stands in front of her human, wings outstretched. She doesn't even notice the other human who has walked into this weird display.

You want my friend? OVER MY DEAD BODY.]

[ Wow are u 2 ignoring her. Gunther might be puffing himself up for a new attack, but Melaka steps in now, grabbing the Jigglypuff by the top of his head. The balloon struggles a little, but he's also panting a little from that first attack from the Murkrow. In fact, the panting probably looks super silly on him being... a balloon and all... he straight up inflates and deflates.

But now he's strung up ]

Seriously, what's happening.

[ Even even are you, bird ]

[Finally, some help! Destiny sighs in relief, and then... well, what now? Not everyone can communicate in poke-talk, so how are they going to explain?

She hops atop Noire's head, and lightly begins pecking her face, hoping to stir her of slumber.]

...O-Ow... ow... ow... huh...?

[Noire begins blinking, yawning loud and long.]

[ Good call, because she doesn't speak the Pokémon lingo. All things considered though, Gunther is somewhere between smoldering and making to swat away her hand. But Melaka's grip is too strong, and so she looks down for- ]

Oh, that's the foreign babe.

[Noire rubs her eyes...]

W-why are you picking on me, Destiny? I was having such a nice... nap?

[... oh. OH. OH NO. She yelps, and quickly gets to her feet as fast as she can-]

I-I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me!

Nap, huh?

[ GUNTHER DID YOU... The balloon denies everything. Adjusting his glasses, looking put out ]

I... I just came in this little shop so I could hide, and then your nice Jigglypuff was showing me around, and the next thing I knew, I was out like a light...

[Satisfied, the murkrow hops back on Noire's shoulder.]

Nice...? [ WHO CALLES GUNTHER NICE.

Suspicious...

But narrowed eyes aside, she drops the Jigglypuff, who huffs and then waddles back a bit to get a match. ] Why're you hiding?

[Y'know, this day has already been weird enough, may as well be blunt.]

Men have been chasing me all over the place. They'e asking me on dates and proposing, and keep trying even when I say no.

[ ... ]

Oh.

Weird.

I'm so sorry to have you caused you so much trouble... I-I'll leave right away...

No trouble on me yet. [ Sheepishly ] I mean, confusing and all, but my 'loon and your bird fighting's a whole other thing. Don't wanna have you eaten less you wanna be.

No, no! I-I promise, Destiny will be on her best behavior now!

[Bird huffs.

If Pinky here leaves my friend alone, I'll be... good.]
