[video/action]
Video
[Was anyone sleeping, at this completely random hour of the early morning? Hopefully not, because there's going to be a commercial blasting across every communicator in Pokemon world, loud and proud and completely ridiculous.]
[Picture this commercial, but with some noticeable differences. First of all, it's not a pretty lady having difficulties going about her boring life: it's an Incineroar, looking sad and disappointed by his lack of options for entertainment. Is his brother here to fight with him? Is Big Hose Face? No! All he has is his sketchpad and some terrible coffee out of a machine. It's very sad.]
[But then! But then, introduce a Cofagrigus, one wearing a visor with dark hair attached to it and some blindingly white eyeliner that it got on its face somehow, holding up a sign that says FCAB. And suddenly the mood of the video changes, suddenly getting bright and aggressive and colorful, and with a new cast of characters, including an Electrode, a Mimikyu, a Blaziken, and a shiny Gallade. They're all clearly excited about FCAB, and the Cofagrigus is the leader here, pouring a cup of coffee while making all its shoulders on one side move in time to the beat.]
[The video ends with a Gyarados, holding a sign between its teeth that reads FIDDLEFORD'S COFFEES AND BANJOS: OPENING SOON EVERYWHERE before the video snaps off and the screen goes black.]
Action, Wherever Your Character Happens to Be
There's a new business in town! Which town? It doesn't matter, because this business is mobile.
It's local, but it's local everywhere.
At some point in August, a monstrosity made out of an abandoned train car will come stomping into town. It looks something like this, except it's longer and doesn't have a dinosaur arm. Instead, it simply trots around the area until it finds a Starmiebucks. Then it very deliberately settles down right across from the Starmiebucks, the arms and legs suck back up into the train car, and the whole thing sighs as it settles in.
After a few moments, the door to the train car busts open, and a small army of Voltorbs and a Charjabug bustle out and start patrolling around it. They may get a little aggressive trying to lure people away from Starmiebucks, but it's only because there's so many of them. They've been instructed not to zap anyone, punishable with banishment back to the Sevii Islands, and none of them want that.
Up close, the sign above the train car door reads "Fiddleford's Coffees and Banjos," and if you go inside, you'll find an independent coffee shop, one that is aggressively trying not to look like Starmiebucks. There are comfortable beanbag chairs around, and lots of throw pillows, and sometimes those throw pillows might be a Spheal. The walls are decorated with random photographs, usually black and white, taken from all over the regions. The main barista is the Cofagrigus from the advertisement, wearing an apron and a name tag that reads ROBBIE, and although he never speaks, he has the glowering disdain part down pat.
On the counter, there's a sign loudly and proudly declaring "Pumpkaboo Spice Lattes with ACTUAL PUMPKIN."
Come have a drink?
[OOC: Jean will answer responses to the ad, and he's around in the coffee shop as well. Let me know if you'd rather interact with the Pokemon for awhile first!]

That's a good idea. [Jean is clearly musing.] I need to get some banjo music to play in the shop. And I should probably learn myself.
video
Oh yeah, banjo music playing would be great. I bet they have some cds you could get, or something online. Play it in the store.
[Coffee and banjo music. People will love it, or they will despair.]
I'm not sure how hard it is to learn. The only instrument I can play is the sousaphone.
video
[Jean waves a hand. Yeah, those lessons stopped when Fiddleford left.]
What's a sousaphone?
video
It's a brass instrument. ....do you know what a tuba is?
video
[Jean knows what those are, at least, and that they're made of metal.]
video
Actually I think I have a sketch of one. Just a second.
[And he'll move the gear to dig through his pack and pull out a notebook that has sketches in it. Flipping till he finds one that looks like this only a little less freaked out looking and you can actually see the details on the sousaphone. He'll show it to the camera.]
This is what one looks like.
video
[Color Jean impressed.]
It's so big! What does it sound like?
video
Pretty much like a really, really...really, deep sounding bugle, I guess. If I find one here I can show you how it works some time.
video
video
Also wanted to see if I could lift one but it turned out that they were made to be carried around so it wasn't that hard.
video
I'm thinking ukulele/sousaphone duet.
video
Yes. We should totally do this.
