RATING: PG (will edit if it amps up more)
LOG:

[ When it came to parties with little purpose such as holidays, Saber found herself often struggling with creativity. Organizing a makeshift "bazaar" however was a thing a king can do and so she did. Not that she was experienced in the matters of the market, but from the stance she took as royalty during her reign, prosperity flourished within Britain so that was reason enough to feel justified in what she was doing. While the Breeding Centre wasn't nearly large enough to host a grand event, there was still enough space with the careful arrangement of tables and chairs to accommodate a larger population than the building was used to. Most of the loose Pokemon were placed away (even the murderous Scyther) and the place was decorated in various shades of red and pink.

Nero was going to love that, wasn't she? Saber thought about adding a touch of blue, but it didn't really seem to fit the theme.

For those who may be a bit more antisocial or have things they wish to trade or sale that were too large to keep indoors, there were a few tables set up in the yard under makeshift coverings from tarp. Not the most attractive job, but Saber isn't going to force people who might be wary of large crowds. Indoors, there's plenty of warm refreshments and a hot chocolate bar. All of the unoccupied rooms of the Breeding Centre have little signs hanging from the door knob just in case anyone wants to give their mons a bit of privacy too. How considerate! ]

Catch all log for the Breeder's Con. Feel free to make your own threads, mingle or otherwise. Just state in the subject if they're open or closed for the convenience of others. Feel free to gossip about the rampage or even the garden party that took place the day before. Thanks♥

It is?

[Checking the date...]

Oh.

It is.

[Hmm... this is going to be a tough decision.]

Right! So you have to pick at least by the twenty-first, so I have time to get that done.

...Actually, I'm bribing Karkat with cake, too. Not that yours is a bribe!

You're bribing him with my cake?

I'm insulted, AA.

[He looks so hurt.]

Of course not! [ He had her agree to make him a mini cake all his own. ...Somehow the grumpiest trolls were the only ones she managed to badger into this, go figure. ]

I bribed him with an entirely different cake. He doesn't get any of yours. I think he's just grumpy that he's in Kanto again - I have no idea what Rose said to him, but I'm pretty sure she's the one who got him to come here for Valentine's.

[It's because they're all lunatics, Aradia. True fact.]

I will never understand that fuckpod.

What do you mean?

[ She's genuinely confused. Karkat, Rose, something else...? ]

KK, obviously!

[He doesn't give a shit about Rose. Still... hasn't... talked to her... whoops.]

[ ...Snickering, sorry. ]

Aren't you best friends?

Please tell me that's not a serious question.

[Of course they're best friends.]

You should know!

I just think it's sweet. [ In a weird grumpy way. ]

Pff-- it is not sweet.

It is so. You just don't like admitting that kind of thing!

[ light trolling. ]

There is nothing that is even remotely saccharine about Karkat Vantas.

I don't know about that. He said something sort of sweet to me, once.

[Slooowly looking over at her.]

[What is this sorcery.]

It was when we were on the meteor! I don't know if he even remembers we talked. And at the time I didn't care, but in retrospect...

[ Are you curious now, Sollux? ]

I don't believe you.

[Yes he is.]

It's true! He said if we weren't all going to die, he'd dedicate the team to finding a way to bring me back to life. It would have been super pointless, but the thought was nice.

[ She knew it. ]

He's always dedicating "the team" to pointless things like that. [Siiigh. Sollux refuses to show any compassion or fondness he might have to Karkat's particular brand of hierarchy-based leading, but only because he's so intense about it sometimes that Sollux just has to mock him out of principle.]

That's true! But I thought it was sweet.

[ Aradia has started on a cookie of her own. ] Although I guess the trolling orders weren't as pointless as we thought! So maybe his angry impulses aren't such a bad thing.

...Although that doesn't really matter here!

Yeah, because we're not all crammed in the same shitty meteor anymore. [THANK GOD]

He also isn't trying to be the leader anymore! But that's more a time thing than a place thing?

I like it here, though. I mean, I liked the dream bubbles, too, but this place is sort of giving them a run for their money, even.

Dream bubbles...

[Sollux repeats the term ever-so-helpfully, though seemingly with a tone that suggested he didn't entirely know what a dream bubble was like. Never saw those. Canon points, hooray!]

...I've never really explained those, have I. [ That's. Actually shocking, come to think of it. She's explained them countless times to people not even from their world, but...somehow it just never came up? With Sollux? ]

They're places that exist in the Furthest Ring. The Horrorterrors made them - anyone who lost their life in the game continues dreaming there. All of them. Doomed offshoot timelines and all. And you can pass through them physically, if you're still alive.

It's the place I was in before I was here! I'm sort of playing tour guide over there. I mean, I was. I'm obviously not doing that right now!

[Nope, never came up. Or at least, it didn't in enough detail for him to understand what the fuck they were, since the only real news he had of the bubbles was Feferi's glubbing. And even she was kind of vague. Because horrorterrors. So he's just going to look over at Aradia with a genuinely surprised expression, unusual because genuine anything on Sollux's face was a notable discovery.]

How many are there?
