 The Fall Festival It's the guilds two year anniversary! [omg, how are all of you still here? I haven't driven you out yet with my foolishness?]
In commemoration for this we will be having a nice long break chapter from the plot as we celebrate the Fall Festival with out friends from the Guild of Seasons.
You've been given 10 GT [Golden Tokens, not to be mistaken for regular Tokens] to do with as you please. Additional GT can be purchased for 1ooo PD for every 5.
Golden Tokens can not be used outside this chapter so it's advised to use them before the chapter ends.
You're free to play in any of the areas listed below though:
Social Areas:
You don't need to join the events or play the games if you don't want to. You can just stay here and mingle with the rest of the guilds if you like!
Head to the Food Stand for some chow if your hungry. They have an assortment of goodies for you and your friends to feast on.
The Rave is a small section of the festival roped off from the rest where you can hang out or dance to various music amidst the strobe lights and colors that flicker across the area.
Ride the Ferris Wheel with your friends or partner, stop at the top for an excellent view of the festival grounds!
-Ferris Wheel rides are all free.
There are plenty of other rides as well, such as the Carousel, the Tea Cups, the Roller Coaster and even a scarryyyy haunted houuusseeeee "WHOOOO".
Special Events:
We will host events for this festival that will be located here so be sure to check them out when they start! The events will vary each time.
The first event will be a costume contest! So go right ahead and start your sprites! That particular event will end at the end of the festival so don't worry about rushing it!
Gaming Areas:
The Gaming Area is where all the games of the festival are located! Read the games descriptions to figure out how to play and how many tokens it costs. Each game varies in price.
-The gaming are can be found here.

  Skye & KaiyouKaiyou strode along on all fours, a young Eevee lying comfortably across his shoulders. She weighed next to nothing, anyway, so she didn't feel an inconvenience to the much larger Pokemon. He seemed to move along at a usual pace, in her opinion.
She wasn't really sure if Kaiyou was accompanying her for bodyguard duty, or because he genuinely wanted to go. It was hard to imagine someone like Kai getting excited over a festival. He just seemed so stoic, on occasion. He'd lost a lot of his joy, when their family fell apart. Still, festivals could be fun, she supposed.
Her tail flicked patiently back and forth, lifting her head as she caught the familiar sounds of chattering Pokemon. The rest of the guild was flooding in alongside them, and Skye tucked her paws in so as not to be in the way. She quickly shifted again, clinging tightly around Kai's upper arm like a Slakoth as he rose to his hind feet. A large, soft hand supported her from below, and she settled onto it, blinking in surprise. The next thing she knew, she was being lifted onto his head like a hat.
She clung gently to his fins, fearful of hurting him... but the view was incredible from just over five feet above the ground. She was so used to moving about people's ankles; seeing the world from the sky just made her heart skip a beat. Her eyes lit up, and the Swampert found his forehead being kissed in thanks.
She could feel the warmth flush to his skin, waving a hand teasingly above his head. She ducked, easily avoiding the movement, and laughter bubbled from her throat.
"Kaiyou," the Eevee purred, still crouched on top of his head, "I'd like to visit the games area, if that's alright with you?"
She could feel the Swampert shake, and knew he was biting back laughter. Even among friends, she still seemed so formal. How very Skye of her.
"That's where we're going, Little One. I didn't come to stand around, after all."
Skye seemed satisfied with this response, her ears pricked at the sound of joy in his voice. He'd found Aryan, and that taken away a lot of his pain. The Swampert had been so worried about his partner, that the difference between now and then seemed more like life and death. Night and day.
...Earth and sky.
She gazed back around her, once again captivated by the dozens of brilliant, shining lanterns around her. Dozens of Fire-types, presumably hired just for this purpose, were nestled into strategic areas. Their flames burned bright together, casting a warm, flickering glow through the paper lanterns.
The light set across the crowds, turning their figures to shapes of black, orange and violet.
Music echoed across the festival grounds, the rhythm loud and heavy. Screams echoed from the haunted house and roller coaster. A ferris wheel stood above it all.
After a moment of pause, she resolved to ride that ferris wheel while she still could. It would only take a minute. She tapped Kai's forehead with her paw.
"I'm going to the ferris wheel, first, okay~?" she informed him. "Don't wait up; I'll meet up with you later. By the... that lantern. The blue one, tied down to the post."
She held on tight as Kai nodded. "Be careful, Skye."
She bumped her nose against his fins in reply, and leaped down, already on her way toward the line-up for the ferris wheel. Today, she was going to see the world like never before; from the sky.
{{ Kaiyou is going to the gaming area, but Skye is staying here. }}

Fiorin------Cheshire------Twitchy------Aries------Scarlet-------Alfred--------Ivy
This was going to be boring, she had said. It was a completely childish activity, he had said. I have better things to do, those two had said.
And thus devoid of their team captains as well as Evelyn and Alec, Fiorin had taken it upon himself to take the kids out for some fun. It wasn't fair they had to stay home just because no one was willing to take them, and despite his dislike of crowds the Pikachu decided to suck it up and deal.
With Cheshire perched atop his head and Twitchy slinking along at his side, the Electric Type took his sweet time entering the festival grounds before splitting the tokens and handing five to each Pokemon, or more specifically in the pouches they were wearing for just such an occasion.
"Alright, you two aren't allowed to leave the festival area or eachothers sides. Got that?" He waited until the two little Pokemon had nodded before pointing to the tables in the social area.
"I'll be right there. You come see me when you're done. Don't stay out forever. Now have f-" He'd barely finished his sentence when the duo grew impatient and took off. Twitchy was fairly fast for not having arms. Fiorin gave a light chuckle before finding himself an empty table to chill at.
Entering along behind his team, not really wishing to interact with Fiorin or the kids, and at his own pace a large Skitty padded daintily along, pausing momentarily to inspect his paws for dirt of any other disgusting things. Why had he come here? This place was a breeding ground for germs and pollutants. Agh, how disgusting. He hoped he didn't catch anything here. He'd be furious if he did.
Ivy made her slow and steady way into the fair grounds. She'd barely gotten to have fun the last time an event like this had showed up and she planned to enjoy every second of it this time around. The bag around her throat jingled with tokens ready to be spent, so off she went to the gaming area.
The Poochyena lifted his head from the coils of the dragon's tail. Both green eyes blinked in awe at the lights and sounds once more before he ducked his head back into the cover of his scaley shield. Scarlet 'tsked' loudly and nudged him with a clawed foot.
"I didn't bring you out here to nap."
"I didn't want to come out here to begin with." The transformed Gardevoir replied, voice pitched in a whine. It had been an oddly pleasant surprise to remember he could transform. Though it was a bit difficult it was safer to be something else rather than himself nowadays. So many Pokemon wanted him dead or worse. Hence his hesitation in leaving the room to begin with, but Scarlet had been firm. Now he had decided not to even move out of spite. She'd brought him here for 'fun'. He just wanted to sleep. So if he had to do it out here then so be it. Sleeping, however, was proving to be difficult with the noise level. Also, the sudden urge to go chasing various bags that floated by while barking loudly. Where...where did that urge come from?
Alfred gave a low whine and settled his head back down on the green scales of Scarlet's tail. The Flygon didn't really have the heart to shoo him away as she'd planned and so she was stuck sitting with him until he decided to move on his own.
[Everyone but Ivy, Cheshy and Twitch are in the Social Area for now~]

   Eros + Isis + Iris "Skittles"Eros' eyes widened as he stared in amazement at the various things this Fall Festival contained, lights, food...was that a haunted house? OH MY ARCEUS A FERRIS WHEEL! The Misdreavus could barely hold in his glee as he went to dart off but was stopped by his Smoochum co-captain, who had fixed him with an annoyed stare.
This was the worst thing Isis could be at...just sounds that would give her a non-stop headache and the sights of rides that just didn't seem all that fun to her, then again her idea of fun was reading her books and watching television but she was dragged along to this by an over excited Eros and an equally excited Iris.
Sighing at her hyper captain, she muttered something under her breath as she held the bag of golden tokens with her, she didn't trust Eros to carry them and Iris...well...just a bad idea.
"What'cha gonna do Isis~" Eros giggled as he kept staring around at the various places to go.
Isis frowned, she might as well enjoy what little she could, "I'm heading off to the gaming area. Maybe I can gamble and turn these ten golden tokens into more." She said before darting off so her headache would lessen.
Eros blinked at Isis sprinting off, "...So Iris! What's u-" He said to the rainbow colored Ponyta before noticing she had dashed off somewhere leaving him alone, "..." He then slowly floated down to the ground, well fine then! Maybe..wait...what should he do anyway?
It was then that he heard some thumping music and looked up at a closed off area as he floated towards it.
Iris was staring up at the haunted house he/she had arrived at, in his/her hurry he/she noticed that Eros was gone, as was Isis, the Ponyta frowned before shaking her mane and going up to the line for the haunted house, "This is going to be so fun~ WOO!" (( Eros is by himself in the meeting part of the social area but most likely going to head into the rave. Isis is most likely gonna gamble all their tokens away in the gaming area and Skittles is at the haunted house in the social area~ =w= ))

 ~Lynne
"Why don't I get to go on the rides?"
The young guildmaster pouted as he stood impatiently amongst a few other select members of his guild who were sent in as representatives for this event which they were sponsoring. Positioned directly at the entrance, for them specifically this trip was more for business than leisure ensuring with smiling faces and humble greetings that they would remain on good terms with the mainland guilds although during the last few missions they faced, Lynne and co had neglected to send any aid. The churlish guildmaster was beginning to get obviously bored with his surroundings however, not many passerbys giving him much attention, rather the festivities he had provided were doing a fine job of keeping them distracted instead. His advisers hadn't even allowed him to get dressed up and join the events like he longed to do; the actions being considered too 'nonprofessional' and other junk that he didn't care about at the moment. Granted the true reason behind his positioning at the moment was probably that no one wanted him to overexert himself being so far away from home and proper medication. Hell, it was already anticipated, even by himself, that he would have to leave the festivities earlier than the point at which they were designated to end just to play things safe. Meanwhile, his main task for the moment was to make acquaintances with the higher officers of the other guild, and try his damn best to maintain his autumn looking forme for the sake of fitting the theme of the Fall Festival.

Solaris --- Ivy ---Diane
The Glaceon stepped back into the Social area, her pouch empty of tokens put stuffed with a few tickets and a single TM coupon. All in all it had been fun and she didn't regret going straight to the game area upon the festival's start. She scanned the crowd for her uncle and spotted him amongst the guild leaders of the Guild of Seasons. She would have gone to say hello had he not seemed to be having a deep discussion with the Purrloin second in command.
With no other reason to bother him she decided that he next stop would be the Ferris Wheel and she quickly trotted over to stand in line behind some odd Beedrill/Eevee hybrid. Huh, was that a costume? That was a pretty good one. "I bet you'll win." She commented to the smaller Pokemon with a smile, hoping to just make pleasant conversation.
Solaris noticed his niece slip by and head to the Ferris Wheel with a smile. It was nice she was having fun. It was nice everyone was enjoying themselves. It was terrifying what was happening in their world now, everything was falling apart. At least now, for the time being, everyone could relax and pretend the end wasn't just around the corner.
"Thank you again for letting us host this here, Solaris." The Espeon turned to glance down at the smaller feline sitting next to him.
"...oh. No problem, Diane. Thanks for letting the guilds attend."
"The more the merrier, as they say. Now if you'll excuse us-" She stood and gestured to Lynne and then off to the roller coaster. "-we're going to have some fun ourselves!"
Solaris gave a nod and a bright grin as the Purrloin bounded over towards where her Deerling Captain stood and gave him a shove in the shoulder.
"Let's go ride that one there, the 'Screamer'!" The Audino on standby all opened their mouths at the same time to issue some form of protest but Diane wouldn't have any of it and silenced them with a glare. A few rides wouldn't kill him, they lasted barely a few minutes and the emergency crew was always nearby so even if there was an issue he'd be fine. It wasn't everyday they got to have fun! She wasn't letting it pass by without some enjoyment.
Although they were not involved with the mainland guilds affairs, they were well aware of what was going on as well as having their own troubles from it all. Pokemon seemed to be getting more aggressive lately and it was causing all sorts of problems within their own island homes.

xxxxxxxxx s e a m u s xx&&xx w r e x xxxxx♣xxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxx It was only expected that the first event a newly formed team would attend should be a festival, especially one celebrating something that the members of Team Paradigm were never a part of, or even heard anything about. Seamus and Wrex had just met each other only a couple of days ago and had only been briefly introduced, so the air between them was tense. Seamus had thought the festival might bring them more together as a team, but as he was standing here awkwardly, he regretted his decision.
"...Well, we're here." Wrex pointed out, his eyes on the golden currency in his lizard hands, the coins which he received at the entrance.
"Seems like it." The bulbasaur sighed, but tried to make it silent.
"What do we do now?"
"Beats me."
The two were at a loss of what to do now, but Wrex knew that he had some form of token and he would be using said tokens. And he does what he likes. Though he had no idea why the guild had a festival, or who the Guild of Seasons really was. But, games were fun and the charmander was still young and foolish. If after that, the festival still seemed as lame as it is now, Wrex would definitely be leaving. To where? He wasn't sure. They didn't even have a team room yet. They were just sleeping on the guild roof. It was nice up there; he was going to miss it.
"Let's go to the games area." Wrex held all the tokens in one hand somehow, and pointed to the sign that told the direction of the game area. Seamus shrugged, nodded and started a slow stroll to the games area, ignoring Wrex as he ran.

SkyeSkye's ear twitched, suddenly aware of someone new in line behind her. The voice was familiar, somehow, though she wasn't sure if she'd heard it before. Turning to face the newcomer, however, she knew exactly who she was talking to.
"Ivy, is that really you?" The Eevee was delighted, waving her tail happily. "It's Skye. Skye Eclipse."
Oh dear Arceus; so much talking involved with coming home again. She wished that she didn't have to be so social. It was necessary, though. Most Pokemon, likely including Ivy, needed to be spoken to in order to feel included. She supposed that she was the oddity was herself, in not wanting to talk.
Her dark eyes sparkled at seeing her cousin again, the expression seeming a little strange through the costume and red-tinted contacts. "Kaiyou told me that costumes were the norm for such events; I didn't realize until I arrived that there was an actual contest for such things." She added, sounding a little odd to herself as she spoke. Social events, social behavior; she just had to keep that in mind. Ivy deserved the chance to talk to her cousin; she'd always been sweet.
She took notice of Ivy's lack of costume and smiled; she wasn't sure if it was due to being so closely-related to the royal family, or simply lack of time, but Ivy seemed the type to want to dress up. It was all in fun, after all.
She decided not to question it, in the end, just in case she was correct. Hurting Ivy's feelings or upsetting her would be a poor way to welcome the Glaceon back into her life.

 "Eros" + "Anubis"Eros shifted a little as he stared up at the rave sign before sighing and stepping back, at least until he bumped into something, "OH! I-I'm so sorry!" He apologized at least until he faced what he bumped into.
It was an orange and black Riolu with the widest sharp toothed smile that Eros had ever seen in his life, he even had scythe like spikes and had a menacing red aura that gave him the appearance of devil horns.
The Riolu smirked, "You are Eros correct?" He asked in a chilling voice with a slight hint of an echo.
Eros nodded, "Ye-yeah. Who are you?!" He angrily questioned. The Riolu just smirked, "My name is Anubis. Thanks to your friend Isis who rescued me from a colorful prison...I am now on your team...along with 4 others." The Riolu then bowed, "Pleased to meet you." He said lowly his pure black eyes staring at Eros who could only gape in shock.
Isis would need a talking too... (( Skittles wandered off. XD ))

    Era & Phione & Rivia & Riley & Eon & Irilyss
Upon being told they could leave, Riley and Phione were both off in an instant, the former headed for the games and the latter idly bouncing off in the general direction of the rides. Eon took the unassigned task of following Phione, figuring that someone should go with the little Pokemon at least and that Era expected someone to do so. Irilyss, on the other hand, blinked in surprise when she was addressed and nodded slowly upon being asked to look after the youngest of their group who was here. Well, after all she may as well do something useful instead of nothing at all. She'd been reluctant to come here in the first place, trying to insist that she hadn't done anything and shouldn't just go to celebrations, but Era had asked her to and she couldn't just refuse her Leader like that. With a sigh she looked down at the young Sandshrew who had padded over to silently stand by her feet and was looking up expectantly. "Would you like to go somewhere little one?" she asked quietly as the others wandered off, "How about we go visit the Ferris Wheel, hmm?" The Sandshrew seemed to consider the idea before nodding once and turning to head complacently toward said ride, Irilyss close behind and keeping a watchful eye on her all the while.
Era looked about at the Pokemon all around who seemed to be having a good time, her face bright with a happy smile. She loved to see them all smiling so happily, having a good time with your friends and Guildmates made for the best of times. It was a festival similar to this after all where she had gotten her wings. It didn't take long for her to spot a familiar face, her expression breaking into a broader smile as she changed her path and made her way toward a familiar Flygon. "Scarlet!" she called, forcing her voice past its comfort zone to get the dragon's attention. "Scarlet how are you?" She didn't see the Poochyena hiding in the Flygon's coiled up tail since she was more focused on Scarlet herself, but it wouldn't have made a difference. She was here to enjoy herself and company made the fun even better.((Era is with Scarlet and Alfred, Riley's in games, Irilyss and Rivia are headed for the Ferris Wheel, and Phione and Eon are going toward the rides))

   Ver -- Freya --- Anues“So, where you would like to go?” “Anywhere’s fine, I guess.” The Flareon looked about the crowded mainland as he walked along side his co-captain. There was a number of guildmates here he knew, though either being busy or he simply not being in quite a talking mood kept him at bay. It was safe to assume this event probably worked much like the carnival prior. Were they both hosted by that new guild? He couldn’t recall. The duo continued on their way in silence until Freya’s ears perked at the sound of Ver sighing. “Game area?” Freya smiled, taking a quick glance at her partner before trotting on her way. “Sure~ I think it’s somewhere down here…” Ver watched her take off ahead of him and forced a smile. He wasn’t in a bad mood; he just didn’t feel all too up for such an event. It was probably due to stress. Not that it was anything new. The team itself only stayed together so much. It was always only a few of them when the alarm went off while the rest remained hidden within the team room. This was a social event though, and only the two had attended. Ver was pulled along by force. He gave a final glance around before trotting off after the Leafeon in silence.
A light psychic tugged at Phione shortly after the little Water type took off, though it wasn’t much more than a simple brush to simply indicate the requested Gardevoir’s presence. He originally intended on staying hidden until he was far enough away from the general population of the guild, but sensing the other troubled Gardevoir, he appeared in a quieter than normal teleport shortly behind Phione and Eon. Anues slowly hovered backwards, eyeing Irilyss as the female went about her own way with another child he didn’t quite recognize. Despite the blank look he so casually gave, it was a sign of concern, in any degree, coming from him. His eyes trailed off toward the ground for a moment before finally turning back toward the duo before him and landing to walk after the two without any word.
You seem unsettled. I’m with Phione for the day if you’d care to meet. The Gardevoir closed his eyes idly as he finished. Tracing her wasn’t an issue at all. This place wasn’t too small, but it wasn’t very big either. The show of concern itself was nothing more than a request for someone to talk to. Anues couldn’t say no to Phione, but he didn’t exactly want to be here. He left Aire with nothing more than “I’ll be back later”, which wasn’t a lie at all, but somewhere he felt guilty anyway.

 xx Aku xxxxxJack
The new team had found the festival more or less by accident. The noise had caught Aku's ear, and the smells of food had caught Jack's nose. Together they investigated, and wound up in the middle of a festival. They had been given 10 tokens, and they split the prize in 2, each taking 5 tokens. Jack wanted to go straight to the gaming area, and really, Aku couldn't complain. The large crowd was making her a bit nervous, and she wasn't much in the mood for awkward small talk or something. Jack wouldn't have minded socializing a bit, but gaming sounded a lot more cool, especially if he could hit some jack pots and raise his rep in these parts. Seems like his personality was reverting a bit now that they were surrounded by others.

~Lynne
Lynne was blank-faced and bored out of his mind until something nudged up against his flank causing him to break back into reality. Before he could react otherwise his co-captain's words flowed through his ears and the dual type quadruped perked up accordingly; his stubby tail waving back and forth in a peculiar, almost canine manner as he responded energetically.
"Okay!"
His agreement wasn't without caution; the Deerling looking around in this moment to see why his surplus of medical staff weren't scolding him. Perhaps they just hadn't noticed. Maybe if he was quick about his getaway he would actually be able to enjoy himself without worry. Throughout all of this the overexcited Deerling hadn't even noticed the point in while he ended up changing into his winter forme; a few pumpkin-like vines in the immediate area which he had spent his time conjuring to add to the scenery wilting after his fur changed color abruptly with a comedic puff of smoke.
"Why does everyone waste their time worrying about me?..."
Before they could move anywhere the young Pokemon presented the question to his companion with nothing less than a face of innocence accompanying it.
"I mean...I realize I might not have as much time here as the rest of you, but doesn't that only mean I should be able to live it up all the more?"
He added, his disposition not changing in the slightest despite the grave nature of his inquiry. The question itself being rather two faced in the sense that it could be referring to how there was a good chance he would be leaving the festivities early, or the fact that not long after his imminent evolution, per the trend in his family, he was bound to succumb to sickness before his time...

  Skye & Celeste & Frost & Nikolas & KennaCeleste sauntered across the fairgrounds, looking curiously about her. She'd never been to a festival as large as this one. The guilds certainly went all out, when they decided to throw a party, it seemed.
Her violet tail flames glowed in the darkness, lighting the path around her. She had a small trail of Pokemon following her simply because of this. These Pokemon were not going unnoticed, however, and certainly not unpunished. Celeste was far too irritable to let that go.
"Would you lot bugger off, already? Are the lanterns not bright enough for you, or something?" she spat viciously, pushing one of them backward out of anger.
With her violent nature revealed, she stalked off toward the games area, hoping to lose the trail of followers as she went.
Frost padded along the brightly lit path, his glimmering, frosty fur seeming even more brilliant in the candlelight. He'd grown handsome and strong, despite his hardships, and it had never been more clear.
Beside him walked his companions; Kenna, Nikolas, and Sonata. The two women were quiet, for the most part. They usually were. Nikolas seemed a bit more excited, though. Something about a festival seemed to bring out the child in the Banette, and he floated back and forth, looking through to every stand that they passed.
"It's really a shame that we can't participate in the games; some of them look quite entertaining," the Banette quipped, glancing back at his Guildmaster.
"Can't say that I disagree, Nik. I think it would be more fun to dress in costume, at the very least. Though it might be a good thing, in Kenna's case; she can't prank people if they know who she is." His last words were sly enough to cause Nik to burst into laughter. Kenna merely shot him a dirty glance, and stalked off to admire the nearest sweets stand.

Fiorin------Cheshire------Twitchy------Aries------Scarlet-------Alfred--------Ivy
"Check." Fiorin pushed his black knight into position and waited patiently for the retaliation that never came. The Skitty sitting across from him glared at the chess board as though hoping to set fire to it with his mind. The feline's stare never wavered even as his tail flicked upward to lightly nudge a white pawn out of the way. No other moves he could attempt, may as well make it look like he was letting Fiorin win at this point.
A sly smile crossed the Pikachu's face in response and he used his black knight to tap the white king with enough force to knock it over. Still grinning he placed the knight in it's place. "Checkmate."
Aries gave a hiss, the cat's back arched upward in the air as it stood and displayed his displeasure at losing to the electric type but Fiorin only smiled in response.
"You cheated." The Skitty stated simply before noticing a Zorua and Dratini dashing into the social area behind the Pikachu. "And the kids are back."
"Oh, are the-" Fiorin turned around to greet them only to find himself gazing down at a large brown bag that Cheshire had dragged to his feet.
The bag shifted with movement, the Pikachu's eyes widening as he peered past the open flap of it to find many pairs of tiny eyes starring at him.
"WH-WHA-WHA-HAH-HAHA-" The word wouldn't come out and he stuttered about incoherently before finally attempting it again and roaring out a loud, "WHAT IS THIS?!" that made both Cheshire and Twitchy take a few steps back in alarm.
"WHA-Children-bu-bu-ha-children-they-what-THEY GAVE AWAY CHILDREN?! You are both grounded." His freak out took pause to state to the two little Pokemon very calmly that their Farfetch'd was cooked and hefted the bag over his shoulder before motioning to the two little Pokemon to follow him.
"Here." He added as an after though, handing Aries the tickets before he left. "Might as well use them. You can stay, I'm taking these guys home..." And then figure out what to do with the damn daycare he was carrying in a bag with him. The strange switch from frantic to calm only disturbed Aries a little as he counted the tickets. Eh, whatever. Fiorin would be fine.
Ivy's eyes widened in alarm, the Glaceon was only a little taken aback by the Eevee's declaration. Skye? Her cousin? She hadn't seen her in so long. Last she had heard was that her team had decided not to involve themselves in the madness that was steadily befalling their region. They had run away and the Glaceon had always been a bit bitter that she'd lost her friend so soon.
The Eevee was far more mature than she'd been before, they both were now that she thought about it. When Ivy was an Eevee she had been a bit of a brat while Skye had been too young to really have a set personality. It would seem she had one now, they way she spoke left little confusion in that her baby cousin was a proper young lady. It was only a little awkward, Ivy could ignore the strangely mature manner in which Skye spoke.
"It's so nice to see you again." She said, realizing she'd lost herself to thoughts without answering. "It's a cute costume, a Beedrill right?, I myself didn't bother. Never been good at making costumes and I didn't want to pester anyone for one..."
Truth be told she hadn't realized there was a costume contest but it WAS still Halloween and costumes were, indeed, the norm.
"How have you been?" It occured to her seconds after asking the question that maybe this was the wrong direction to take the conversation.
The dragon slowly lifted her head at the sound of her name. Not many Pokemon knew it, she was still new to the whole guild system thing and hadn't gotten around to socializing as it were. Far more pressing issues to deal with at the time than making friends, as much as she enjoyed such.
Turning around she watched as a familiar yellow Pikachu bounded up with her face glowing in happiness. Yes. That would work nicely for her dilema.
Her name though, Scarlet was dreadful with names and as Era asked how she was doing her only response was a smile until finally the electric type's name came to mind. "Era." She stated, tone holding the idea that this was a greeting when it was really a test to ensure she'd gotten the name right. When no protest or complaint was voiced she continued. "I'm wonderful, and yourself?"
The Pikachu had no time to answer though, not that Scarlet minded, as the dozing canine in the dragon's tail coils finally realized that he recognized the name he'd just heard and it was the name of a Pokemon he actually wouldn't mind seeing again. Crawling over the dragon, the Poochyena gave a few trotting steps forward until he was no longer hidden behind Scarlet and was nearly facing Era herself.
"Hello!" The dog barked out cheerfully, neglecting to mention that he was Alfred and not some strange Poochyena Era had never met. Luckily Scarlet covered for him quickly.
"Ah yes, Alfred and I decided to come and see what this festival was all about." The Flygon explained, though on Alfred's part he'd been pretty much dragged her against his will. Now, however, he didn't seem to mind that and the Poochyena's tail wagged in delight.
"Hmm, now there's an idea." The dragon mused suddenly, curling her tail up under her chin in a thoughtful gesture. "Why don't you see if Era wouldn't mind you tagging along with her?" She spoke to the transformed Gardevoir who stared back in silence. "My back is still acting up, had a bit of an accident, so moving really isn't on my to-do list....is that alright with you Era?" Truth be told she was fine, but Alfred didn't want to listen to her and he seemed more than enthused about the Pikachu's presence. Perhaps she could make this work after all. He hadn't complained about being pushed off on someone else, so maybe it would be alright.
