Who: Vaati & OPEN
Where: Outskirts of Violet City
When: Sunday afternoon ~~BEFORE THE FUCKING BEES~~
Summary: Vaati has finally wandered his way off Route 31 and rediscovered the glories of human-safe food.
Rating: PG-13 because why the hell not
Log: There was one thing Vaati was certain of--he was never going to touch one of those god-awful berries ever again.

After finally stumbling off the beaten path and into civilization once more, the mage made a beeline for the nearest food-related store and immediately began spending all his money on ridiculous amounts of baked goods. He was practically broke now, but he didn't care. He needed something to get that horrible disgustingly bland taste out of his mouth.

So basically, he had about four or five bags worth of bread and pastries. Way more than anyone could ever consume in one sitting, but damn, Vaati sure was trying. He had his own goddamn personal picnic going on, with a blanket spread out all nicely under a tree just a little ways onto Route 31.

And he wasn't going to share.

At least, he wasn't going to share willingly, one would assume. But Kazooie was more than happy to get them to 'share' herself, and the former bird had become bored with snatching things from the people around Violet. They either had very little worth stealing, or -- well, Cloudy was getting better at reading her expressions.

So of course, it was lucky for her that someone had decided to have a picnic today. Kazooie usually wasn't much for sweets, but this guy looks like he had everything. Looked good to her.

So the red/yellow haired girl decided to try her luck and snatch some of it.

[OOC: Mind if I cut in? I didn't see you guys had a permissions meme on your pages, and I don't wanna jump in without asking.)

((OOC: They totally did and go ahead. I need to add it but I'm lazy.))

Not particularly tired or hungry, Link had made it through the route without much trouble, although his hair and clothes were mussed from the storms. He was wary of the food in his pack and hadn't initially eaten much, but eventually gave in and devoured even the terribly sweet trail mix. He'd avoided spending any of the strange currency, mostly because he didn't know how to count it, but Link didn't know how much longer he could put it off.

Up ahead he saw a blanket laid out with some food, but before he could get a glance at the would-be picnicker Link saw a woman watching the spread from a close-range distance. He didn't' recognize the woman herself, but he'd seen the look on her face before—on a girl who'd been trying to steal rupees from her employer. He decided to watch, eyes narrowing in case anything happened, remembering warnings about the pokémon thieves Team Rocket...

Ash was making his way to Violet City, by way of Route 31, the only entrance to both the Pokemon Ranch and the city, with a bundled blanket in his arms. He walked at a steady clip, until he noticed someone eating.

Although he could easily see the picnicker, he hadn't notice Kazooie yet, since she was hiding, as any thief would do before striking. Ash was making his way up to the picnicker, curious as to why someone was out on the route with so much food, especially by them-self. As Ash passed by a tree in his way to the person, he spotted another, peering around the tree quietly, watching the picnic-in-progress.

"Link? What are you doing?"

Kazooie probably would have gone unnoticed if Ash hadn't spoken up. It's suddenly a good thing that anyone saying "Link" immediately draws the mage's attention. His ears perk up and he turns around to glare at them. Of course, he immediately decides to ignore the strange girl and the blue-haired man in favour of Link.

Also his face is still stuffed with a cinnamon roll but whatever. He does pause to swallow, at least.

"What do you want, brat?" the mage grumbles. He eyes the other two suspiciously as well, but he is far more suspicious of his nemesis who isn't actually his nemesis. Obviously.

Oh, those idiots. Kazooie growled, shooting a dirty look at both Link and Ash and coming out from her hiding place. She was just starting to get used to how to hide in this body, and then those two pop out and break her cover. Arms crossed, the woman makes an indignant squawking noise.

"Haven't you two idiots ever heard of HIDING?" came the snapped reply. It would've been the perfect end to the day, even with her little luck in the city, and these two came by and broke it apart.

She vaguely recognized one of them, but shrugged it off, glancing over to Vaati's picnic. Unlike Cloudy, this guy was... well, utterly ridiculously looking and not threatening in the least. Which was why, plan broken or not, she waited until Vaati's eyes were back on Link before moving to attempt to quickly snatch one of his pastries. Human or not, her birdie quickness still seemed to be there.

Link had been focusing too intently to notice Ash approaching, and yelped none-too-subtly at being directly addressed, whipping around to face the other trainer.

Of course, his attention was immediately diverted when Vaati spoke, and he turned to scowl at the mage directly. He'd thought a lot about this person, who claimed to be from an intact Hyrule Link had never known. How much of what he said could be true? And who did Vaati keep mistaking him for?

However, before he could snap a retort, another movement caught in the corner of his eye as the woman made her attempt for Vaati's food. Enemy or no, that was stealing, and Link let out a quick shout of protest.

Ash stood slightly bewildered. He had no idea what was going on with the entire event, but he saw the picnicker yell at Link, then Smoker's friend Kazooie snap at him, then Link began to shout... So Ash took a step back and watched the events unfold silently. He cradled the bundle in his arms carefully, hoping the other three would go on not knowing what he was carrying under the blanket.

[OOC: Oh and Kaz-mun? If you check the log where Smoker and Ash battled, Kazooie got Splashed on. :D]

He would have been suspicious of Kazooie's complaints on hiding, but again, one-track mind here. Everything is Link's fault.

Once she makes a grab for his food, though, he does snap to attention. The aggravated mage jumps to his feet, forgetting about Link temporarily in favour of annoying girls stealing his food. "HEY! Put that back, you!"

And then he's going to try and grab it back, but considering how tall Vaati is she could probably just hold it over her head. Not that it would stop him from trying anyway.

She was indeed taller than the former mage, and is quite a bit of a jerk on her own. Which meant that she is, indeed, holding her stolen spoils above her head, grinning at him.

"Make me, shortie."

She broke off a piece of it, sticking it in her mouth and swallowing, before actually moving forward, attempting to lean on Vaati's head.

"Yo, spikey," she said, looking over at Ash.

"Hoy," Link said warningly, one step short of actually walking over and tearing the pastry from her hands. However, when Kazooie spoke to Ash, Link hesitated, unsure of what to do.

"Your friend?" he asked the trainer hesitantly. He considered Ash a friend, or at least, a respectable person, so maybe she was just playing after all. He continued to keep one eye on Vaati, but the so-called mage seemed to be the victim in this particular situation...

"Well, Link... Sort of... More like a friend of a friend."

Looking up to the one calling his name: "Yeah Kaz?"

Ash watched Kaz steal food, eat it, get yelled at, while Link took a hesitant step towards her. Ash is still unsure of the whole situation, so he was just going to play it by ear.

Trying to lean on the mage makes him flail with rage. But alas, his arms, they are too stubby to reach his prized and stolen goods. Vaati seethed, pulling himself out from under her hastily.

"You thieving vulture!" he growled, glaring at her fiercely. Over a pastry. Pastries are serious business.

He shoots Link another look. "Well, now I know what kind of friends you keep, brat!" And congrats Ash, you are now also affiliated with thievery forever. He will never knit hats for any of you.

"Breegull, idiot," came Kazooie's reply. Unfortunately (for those watching, anyway), she expects the pull out from under her, and catches herself rather than stumbling onto her face.

She plucks another piece of the pastry off, sticking it in her mouth before looking at Ash again.

"I thought you were training fish how to flail helplessly."

Kazooie already has a hat, and quite a spiffy one too, so the loss of Vaati knitting one for her is not that big of a deal.

Link was dismayed, looking from Kazooie to Ash to Vaati. "She's not my..." he trailed off awkwardly, unsettled. Was this really worth interfering?

But, it was. "Give it back," he said, not too bothered by the mage's attitude—if he only tried to help the people who were nice to him, what sort of person would he be? The bread had been Vaati's after all, and it probably hadn't been cheap.

"Smoker and I are done. Shouldn't you be doing something productive?"

Ash took a step forward. He will not outright interfere, though perhaps he can intimidate Kaz.
