[Rosie, Sera, Emil]
He started only slightly as someone appeared at his side, speaking in a familiar voice. Rosie, and she looked... really nice. Well, she usually looked nice, of course, just it was different from usual so it was easier to notice, and of course people looked nice when they dressed up because that was kind of point of it, but then some people just looked nicer than others even when they weren't dressed up, and what the hell was even thinking anymore. He raised a hand to acknowledge the girl with a simple "hey," nodding in greeting to Seraphine as she approached as well, her now-familiar demeanor going without comment. He thought to introduce Emil but decided instead to let the kid speak for himself. He really needed to do more of that, after all.
The approaching stranger was a bit less well-received; Luke's evaluation of the party had started to improve on the idea that he could pass the time with his friends instead of exchanging halfhearted pleasantries with stuffy strangers, but it seemed he wasn't going to get away with that. He responded to the man's prompt with a silent nod of affirmation.

She was impressed that she didn't have to search faces for long before the familiar voice and touch to her shoulder drew her stance back as she turned to face her partner, who was also dressed for the event.
There was a gentle incline of her head as she crossed one arm over her waist and regarded him.
"Ah, There you are."
Yes, she certainly had been looking for someone, ironically it was the person now asking her her that question. she wasn't sure if she was supposed to be playing along or not, she assumed not.
"Apologies for my tardiness." She said with a light sigh. Getting ready like this took longer then she remembered.

[Luke, Rosie, Sera, NPC Guy]
And suddenly there were people everywhere, and Emil instantly felt a bit overwhelmed as two girls approached and inquired of his name... or sort of in Sera's case. Followed by a man in blue who suddenly appeared next to him.
"Um... I'm... uh. My name is Emil," he said nervously, looking around at the three of them. He then dipped his head politely. "I-it's nice to meet all of you."

The blond boy introduced himself, sounding very timid and shy. Rosie picked up on this and continued to smile gently and kindly as she stood patiently through his introduction.
"Its nice to meet you Emil, My name is Rosie, and this-"
The introduction was suddenly cut short with the arrival of a man in a blue suit.
Rosie turned her head, shifting her stance to the side a little with a quick and elegant slide of her foot, Kiss Kiss sliding up next to her.

[Ally, Kratos, Tambrey]
Kratos' statement was running through Rory's head and he barely heard Ally compliment him. He felt the blood start to rush to his face and the urge to scratch his neck became violent. "T.thanks, Ally." the blond spared another glance around. "I'm with Kratos. It's probably not time for whatever they have planned."
Tambrey's question had Rory's face and neck in flames. He swore he could feel the sweat beading up by the second and tugged at his collar. "N.n.n.no!" he stammered, it could have been just his ears but he thought his voice had gone up an octave. "We're just friends! Good friends! Great friends, really. Right, Ally?"

(Seto)
The kid didn't bother obeying. She just withdrew her hand and sat on the bench beside him. Instead of watching him, though, she pretended to look at the surrounding guests and the atmospheric decorations scattered about the park.
After a few minutes, her attention was drawn to a rattling pokeball, which she frowned at, but didn't comment on. Only after the man took a few pills did the child speak.
"It's not good to keep it locked in, you know," she said seriously. "You need to go somewhere you can let it all out." Suddenly his unhealthy disposition made more sense.
(Faleen)
"I couldn't be sure it was you," he teased, only half-joking. He chose not to state the reason why, assuming it was obvious to them both. Izaya regarded every detail of her chosen attire, accessories included. There was something very tell-tale about the way she dressed that said Faleen was no stranger to formal wear. Perhaps it was the unexpected sense of style and fashion. No one, female or male, could have worked all their life in a garage and known how to dress like that.
"Not at all. I'm just glad you came," he replied, sounding and looking greatly relieved. A huge weight seemed to have been lifted off the man's shoulders. He could relax now. If anything went wrong, Faleen would know how to fix it. What's what she did - fix things.
"It's been a long time. I didn't think you'd remember that time you told me you would come out and socialize like I asked." Extending an arm out to her, he silently offered to walk alongside as her consort. "Things have been rough lately, I know. For you, for me, for our entire group."
He sighed. "It was getting to be a lot for me to handle without you. After all, you're the agent. I'm just a grunt." Orihara sneered. "A grunt who's been obtaining a few more pokemon than he can handle as of late."

[Emil, Rosie, Sera, Luke]
"Tharon Weidman," the man introduced himself, cheerily inserting himself into the conversation. He cut a little bow towards Rosie and offered a hand to first Emil, then Luke to shake. "I'm with the League. Always nice to meet the next generation. How long have you been training?" A little inclination of his head indicated he was talking about the assembled teens.
[Dith]
The redhead made a demure sound and dipped her head, setting her jewelery swinging. //Thank you,// she murmured, slipping into her native tongue as she studied the doctor's appearance, //It's quite something, yes.// Based on her strange first impression Nadja wouldn't have thought he was the suit-wearing type - must have invested in custom tailoring for it to fit - or that anything could subdue that tangle of golden curls. My, you did live and learn.
Her eyes flickered away briefly at the sound of a familiar raging shout. Ah. He'd be here too, of course.
//Pink suits you,// she returned, lips curving into an arch smile. //Better than ponies, I think.//

[Tymiko]
Glaring at the girl through squinting eyes, Seth huffed. "What would you know," he asked. Just how old was this kid? Twelve? He/She/It couldn't possibly understand.
"You don't want me to let it out," he seethed. He might go off and kill someone if he did.
He then bent over again and groaned, his stomach wracked by nausea. But the pounding in his head started to subside a little bit as the medication tried to kick in. The chest pains continued though, and he clutched the fabric of his shirt with one hand.
"Didn't I tell you to go away?"

[Rosie, Sera, Emil, WEIRDMAN]
Luke accepted the offered handshake with a practiced grace; even if he didn't really want to interact with the man, the manners of it were practically instinctive. "Luke fon Fabre," he said - another habitual reaction. It'd been a while since he had last indulged his full name. "Since last summer, about." Ah, well that was just him; he didn't really know about Seraphine's or Emil's circumstances with training, but, "Rosie's been at it longer than me though." He gestured lightly to the girl; he remembered her talking about trainer classes and accompanying her on an assignment once.

[Yuri]
He accepted her proposal pretty easily, but it was only logical he accept. It was a rather simple request when considering the fact she'd be making him something for free. His movements seemed almost wistful as he easily snatched up a pair of crackers with some sort of dip on them. She certainly did not stuff the whole thing in her mouth (though she probably could have), but took a small bite out of the edge.
After making certain she had no more food in her mouth, she then began to try getting some information from her temporary assistant. "...Now... let's see... Repede... what sort of things is he interested in? I don't really see him being into blatant Pokemon motif for a side pouch or anything..." She then took that moment to take another bite from her cracker.
[Maiko + Repede]
Opal recognized that polite wuffing. Blinking her eyes and allowing her nose to twitch again in the Growlithe's direction, she found a familiar colored blob there to greet her. It was Repede-friend!
She didn't hesitate to loom in closer to the Puppy Pokemon and nab onto the edge of his ear with her own mouth, giving it a playful nibble before releasing it and returning her attentions to the spider Pokemon.
She asked in the cheeriest of tones if the Pokemon wanted to hitch a ride while trying to find a good place to play a game. "Vee eevee eve eeve eevee vee vee?" It was such a big group of people and Pokemon that maybe they could find more friends to play with as well.

[Izaya]
That comment drew a small, amused smile from the women, not needing an explanation as to why, as he suspected. She didn't like to be seen like this, but it was necessary, so she couldn't exactly complain.
She was not at all surprised that Izaya dressed up nicely when it came to a formal setting, She could imagine he was used to and prepared to blend into all kinds of different situation if his job called for it.
"That it has." she agreed with a somewhat quieted tone in her voice. she looked from him to his arm, that she them slipped her own arm through, playing the part of the formal event.
"I did not forget, though I admit I might have not been managing my time as effectively as I could have been."
She let it slip for a while, the fact that she had a partner, for whatever reason. She was beyond frustrated with herself when she realized this, but would choose not to dwell on it, instead she was just going to do something about it and put forth a better effort then she had been.
Of all the times too, For selfish reasons hiding away or being more then unavailable. She knew it wasn't all personal choice, they all had duties they had to attend too, but she didn't like this feeling and this realization when she heard that her partner, one assigned to her might have needed her.
She wasn't exactly sure what to say about it though, so she remained quiet for a few moments, collecting her thoughts and her poise as she glanced around at the event once, before returning her glance over to her partner.
"That is something I can lend assistance with I'm sure."

[Ivory]
Well Yuri had certainly never meant to suggest that she do it for free. He would have found some way to pay her back, even if he was rather lacking in the monetary department. He would not stoop so low as to take advantage of someone like that.
"Huh... well, something practical. Maybe with some pockets that he can reach himself. So something simple and easy to use, and that will last."
Yuri himself had eaten his cracker in one bite, and watched as Ivory nibbled at hers. "Isn't it hard to enjoy your food like that?"
[Maiko, Opal]
Repede nodded back at the Spinarak, then found his head pulled to the side as Opal tugged his ear. Once his ear was released, he shook his head rapidly, ears flapping against his head as he wuffled.
At Opal's suggestion of playing a game, he tilted his head, seemingly interested. It wasn't often that he got to play with other Pokemon like this.

She smiled when he bowed her to her, and introduced himself to all of them. The question was answered by Luke, and when he mentioned and gestured to her, Rosie perked up, plucking at the side of her dress with one hand as she swept down into a light bow of her own.
"A little over two years." she answered.

The girl's head bobbed up and down at the suggestions, seeming to compile some ideas in her head. "...I wish I had my sketch pad with me... that'd make this a bit easier... maybe one of these days you can stop by my apartment and I can show you what I'm thinking of for him... since I wouldn't want to start work, then have him shoot me down. Plus, if he approves, I can get some measurements too..."
With that, she stuffed the last portion of her cracker into her mouth. The comment hadn't been missed, but she decided to indulge her sense of taste first. She wasn't exactly a connoisseur of foods, but the dip certainly tasted a bit fancier than her usual diet.
"...At least I wasn't going at it like a Pachirisu or something like that. Those little bites... I can't imagine actually tasting anything with such small mouthfuls."
With that, she rolled her eyes up in thought again, though such probably would go unnoticed due to her shades. "...Repede is mostly purple in color if I recall... right?"

"Grande Ile?" Weidman smiled; he was a fresh-faced mid-thirties, perhaps, no longer young but not yet old. Mature. "You're a way from home, sounds like. Not to barge into your conversation," he continued, despite the fact he already had, "but I like to make contacts on the ground, as it were. Never know who you'll meet-" Another nod, including all the little group, "-or what you might turn into. They should be getting the announcement going here any minute, but-" He reached into his jacket pocket and drew out a little stack of heavy paper rectangles. "-I'm sure you all know about the Rocket activity in the area. Let me give you my card - you can get in contact with me if you see trouble. We need all the eyes and ears we can get."
