it’s time for a cookout!

Who: Everybody!
Where: Poco Path
When: April 26th
Summary: Arven welcomes you to experience Paldean customs and food, and share the food of your own homes, in a unique take on Calçotada!


Arven and his helpers have set up Poco Path as the perfect spot for a cook-out! Tables and benches line the route, and there are also baskets holding picnic blankets around for those who prefer that experience. The weather is finally playing nice again, after all, so why not?

There are grills for anyone who may need them, as well, and Arven - along with his Toedscruel and Gargancl - will be making the rounds to assure everyone has any needed equipment... And that no one's putting the cook-out at risk of going up in flames, of course. But whether or not you're making or even brought food, the host is happy to see you here. And so is his Mabosstiff! The gentle old pokemon will be making his own rounds of begging for table scraps!

When it seems like the arrivals have slowed to a stop, Arven takes a moment to address his guests. While he starts off nervously, he keeps a hand on Mabosstiff at his side, and as he goes on his bashfulness fades more and more.

"I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came here today! When I heard about how you lot aren't, er, from around here... Well, I knew had to do something like this. It's important! You're all far from your homes in more ways than one, after all. Food can go a long way to bring people together!"

Mabosstiff gives a gruff bark in agreement, and Arven laughs heartily.

"Thanks, bud. And thanks again to all of you! I'm seeing some dishes I just can't wait to dig into. If you aren't eating already, what are you waiting for? Bon profit!"

Yeah, maybe! Who knows?

[Min softens at the apology. It's frustrating, but it's not like he warned them how bad the consequences could be. Really, looking at how she is usually, he wouldn't even blame Evie if he had and she hadn't believed him.]

Don't worry about it. At least she's okay now.

[More than okay, and not remotely sorry. She's already staring at Evie, trying to entice her to continue the delicious descriptions.]

[Evie might not have. Or she might have listened more. It's hard to say.

Radley picks her up and pets her. She perks up a bit that Min-Gi is not mad at her. "Eevee!"

She gives Baby a look. She will listen to Min-Gi now and not cause more trouble.]

Yeah. It's good it wasn't worse.

[Radley definitely sees Baby's look, and he's proud of Evie for resisting now.]

[Baby looks disappointed that she is no longer being regaled with tasty tales, but returns to placidly chewing her toy in the absence of anything actually edible.]

Hopefully she'll get better with more training. I don't want her to be that unpredictable when she evolves.

[It's not too bad while she's this small, but it definitely has the potential to get worse.]

Yeah, that would be bad, to say the least. How big do they get?

[personal profile] outofsynth 2024-06-05 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
A little over five foot.

[You can practically see the horrors he's envisioning if she keeps up this kind of behaviour once she evolves.]

[Radley looks pretty horrified.]

That ... is big.

[Especially if she acts out at that size.]

I wonder if someone who can talk to Pokemon could help?

It sure is.

[It's sort of cute now. Sometimes. But he already knows from his Noivern that not discouraging their less desirable traits while they're still small is a bad move.]

Maybe. If I can't train her out of it myself then I could always try.

[Radley nods slowly. He can understand Min-Gi wanting to do it himself.]

Well, good luck. At least you've got a start on knowing how to redirect her attention when it happens.

[Min-Gi nods, looking down at Baby who is still chewing idly.]

Thanks for that. It would've been a lot harder if you weren't there to grab it for me.

[It's a relief to know it can work. He'll need to find ways to try and stop it from happening in the first place, but it's a good start. Even if she'd prefer treats it's definitely a good sign that she is behaving now.]

[Radley smiles.]

Sure. I'm glad I could help.

["Eevee!" says Evie. She's glad they were able to fix it quickly too.]

I wonder if those other Pokemon are still here at all or if they've long ago headed for the hills.
