A. Text

To whom it may concern,

This is an invitation to a casual Hanukkah celebration to be held tonight at the Skellington House in north Goldenrod. Food will be provided, though if you wish to bring some to share I'm certain that no one will object.

No RSVP necessary. Anyone who would like to is welcome to stop by*. In strange times and places it pays to be able to find common ground in what little may be familiar.

- Dr. Stanford Pines

*Except for Rick Sanchez, unless he promises to behave himself. There will be children in attendance.


B. Action

[The mansion is hard to miss, partially because it's awfully large and partially because beneath the Christmas decorations the Halloween ones still appear to be up. Add the menorah in the window and the combined light the place gives off is probably visible from space.

As promised there is food: it's not a proper sit-down dinner, considering he figures people will keep trickling in as they have the time, but there are latkes and sufganiyot (he may have asked for Mabel's help with those) along with more Johto-appropriate foods and some things that fall squarely in-between. There are also driedels available, with markings that appear to be painted on in glitter, for people who would like to play or at the very least learn how.

It ought to be a nice night.]

Oh...

[Lust glances down, eyebrows raising. A Cleffa! She smiles a bit, crouching slightly to see what the Pokemon wants. Sometimes, she can't begin to tell.]

Hello there. I danced with some of your kin at Mount Moon, once.

[Minnie gets shy and covers her face when the pretty lady crouches down. She peeks at her before bouncing. Dancing???]

Celffa fa?
a_sin_for_him: (seriously what the hell)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-01-06 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yes. Where's your trainer?

[Because this is one of those times where Lust has no idea what the Pokemon is trying to get across to her. Perhaps the trainer can help. Or at the very least, save Lust from trying to have a conversation with something incapable of human speech.]

[Minnie points over to where Dipper is, who squeaks and pretends he's busy with his journal things.

Doesn't this Cleffa look oh so happy about her trainer as she waddles over to him?]

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-01-09 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, that must be the Trainer. Lust can't recall his name, but she's seen him on the Network. The young fellow who'd taken to studying Pokemon, she thinks. Lust lifts a hand in greeting as she approaches.]

Pardon me, I'm sorry to interrupt your studies, but your Cleffa seems to want something. And I haven't the faintest idea what that is.

[Pretty lady is talking to him, but Dipper glances down at his Cleffa.]

You know, I'm never sure what she wants, either. She likes people?

[Minnie huffs. She brought this lady over here so his trainer could talk to her!]

I have that problem with some of mine, I just can't discern their intentions. She was rather insistent...

[Lust can only shrug. Who knew, when it came to Pokemon? They were fascinating creatures, but difficult to understand at times.]

Sometimes, the longer you're together, the easier it gets. My starter and I have had years together to learn to understand each other.
sneezelikeakitten: (♠ And aeroplanes)

[personal profile] sneezelikeakitten 2017-01-16 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, she's not my starter. I got her because she's a fairy type, and those are super useful against dragons. Sure, she'll be even more useful when she evolves-[Wow Minnie looks offended now.]-But she's got some good moves right now.

[.....]

Maybe she thinks you're pretty?
a_sin_for_him: (soft smile)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-01-18 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't bother with battling or any of that.

[Lust waves her hand, dismissive. Beyond friendly sparring matches to keep those Pokemon who enjoy it happy, she doesn't take part in that aspect of local culture.]

But I suppose I can't argue with her there. I visited Mount Moon, once, to look for the Clefairies that live there. We waited until the moon was right, so we could see them dance. They were such sweet creatures...
sneezelikeakitten: (♠ Eye of a hurricane)

[personal profile] sneezelikeakitten 2017-01-23 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[So many people who don't care about battling. Wow. Even adults?]

So I'd have to go all the way to Mount Moon to see them do that?
a_sin_for_him: (soft smile)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-01-23 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
To see the wild ones gather and dance? Mmhmm. But it's well worth the trip, I promise you that. It's...it's magical, really.

[There's no other way to describe it.]

There are countless wonders to behold in this world. But they do need to be sought out to be seen.
sneezelikeakitten: (♠ Strength)

[personal profile] sneezelikeakitten 2017-01-27 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Excuse him while he scribbles a note down in his journal.]

I've found a few things, but nothing I'd described as magical.
a_sin_for_him: (honest smile)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2017-01-28 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

[Lust tilts her head, glancing at the Pokemon around the room. She chuckles softly, but with good humor.]

I suppose your context for what counts as 'magical' is different than mine. But doesn't that go for us all, from so many different places? I discover something I find magical once a week, I think.
sneezelikeakitten: (♠ Listen to yourself churn)

[personal profile] sneezelikeakitten 2017-02-01 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
If gnomes are magical, then that is one thing, but that's back home.

[Gnomes are very magical. So was the board-game 'Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons' that one time.]
