[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.]

[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!

[makeitquick]

Nap, huh?

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

[blood_and_thunder]

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.]

[makeitquick]

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?

[blood_and_thunder]

[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.

[makeitquick]

[ ... ]

Oh.

Weird.

[blood_and_thunder]

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

[makeitquick]

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.

[blood_and_thunder]

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.]

[makeitquick]

Can't promise that on Gunther, but I'll stop 'em before he causes too much problems. Besides, he's calm usually--

[ gunther is over here now... thumbing (well, if Jigglypuffs have thumbs...... ) a cigar into his mouth. what. ]

[blood_and_thunder]

[Noire seems to relax... a little.]

Thank you... I won't stay too long, and I promise to buy something...

[She finally picks up her weird, blinking luvdisc doll, cuddling it close.]

[makeitquick]

What, an engagement ring?

[ Melaka, that's mean.

But she can't help it ]

[blood_and_thunder]

A-A-A-A-Absolutely not!

[Destiny smirks, visibly trying not to laugh.]

[makeitquick]

[ Smirk. Oh well though, she motions for Noire to follow her into the back room. It's not much bigger than the front, but there are three chairs and a small ... nightstand? It's clearly meant to be a coffee table, but it's a nightstand ]
