Log:

[At precisely 4:45, all preparations are finally over. The floors and surfaces are clean. The food is placed on a few tables in the living room. The alcohol is waiting in the pantry, hidden from young eyes. The spare rooms are fully furnished, just in case anyone needs to stay over for the night. A tent has been set up outside for larger Pokémon and people who wish for some peace and quiet. Everything is ready!

...Except the host himself, but he's working on that.]

Heeey!

[As promised, Atsuro manage to arrive to the party on time. Right next to him is, of course, his ever so trusty starter, Antec the Lanturn.

The young man looks around to see who else is here, noting how nice the house is. The part of him that's used to housekeeping can admired the effort into all of this.]

[paladinlost]

Hello! I'm glad you could join us!

[He appreciates the punctuality, truly. So does Rosie, if her enthusiastic greeting is any indication.]

Come in, come in. We have plenty of room for your team if they want to come out, too.

[babel_hacker]

Wouldn't miss it, since I did say I'll come along!

[Hiii. Antec greeted with a wave of his fin.]

And yep, they'll love to come out as well. You don't mind if I let them out now, or there's a better place for it?

[paladinlost]

You can do so anytime you wish, unless they are too large to fit comfortably in a house. For those cases we have the tent, which should be warm enough for all species.

[A beat.]

And which currently contains three Gyarados, but they should not be a problem.

[Not counting Excalibur's affectionate greetings, at least.]

[babel_hacker]

[He chuckles, but whoa. Three Gyarados in one place.]

The largest Pokemon I have on me right now is a Golurk, so it shouldn't be a problem to put Unit 01 in the tent.

...Well, as long no one try to hit him with water.

[Ancient flying robots do not deal well with water.]

[paladinlost]

They will not. They were raised better than that. ...Besides, they'd not want to accidentally freeze their territory.

[Polite and practical. Just like their trainers would have wanted.]

[babel_hacker]

In that case, then I'll let my team out. And of course, I'll let Unit 01 out outside of the house.

[Because, well, Golurk.

While their trainers talk, Antec will just greet Rosie. Hello, I'm Antec!ヾ(＾∇＾)]

[paladinlost]

Very good. Will they want plates for snacks, water to drink?

[Hi, Antec! I'm Rosie. Welcome to our new house! If Avenger and Dora try to bother you, please don't hesitate to smack them!]

[babel_hacker]

Yep, especially Euler! Since he's probably gonna explore and do things with Unit 01.

[It's nice to meet you, Rosie! And I'll keep that in mind, but I thiiiink I can handle them? Maybe.]

[paladinlost]

I fear he'll not find much to explore, but he's welcome to look. Even the smallest corners should be dust-free.

[Good. They're not too bad, but they like to try their luck with new kids and visitors.]

[babel_hacker]

He likes to have fun exploring, so even that's fine enough.

[Since Antec's already out and he's saving Unit 01 for outside, Atsuro brings out four Pokeballs. Out comes a Clefairy, Porygon, Castform and a Lucario.

Asterisk the Clefairy is already making her way to climb onto Fortran the Porygon's back. Considering the current weather, Castform is in his ice-type form right now and floats over to Atsuro's side.

Euler the Lucario starts glancing around at the new location. The most noticeable thing on him is a scarf around his neck and a pair of goggles on his forehead.]

Okay, guys, we're at the party so behave yourself!

[Okay!]

Euler, this place's too small for Unit 01, so if you want to play with him, it have to be outside.

[Euler give Atsuro a salute. Got it! o7]

[paladinlost]

I've no doubt they will. They seem quite sweet.

[And their mere presence is enough to draw out part of Cecil's team, including his own Lucario and shiny Castform. Ever the lady perfect ladies, Cosmos the Lilligant and Lia the Chandelure offer everyone a cup of tea. ...How a Chandelure can even hold a tea cup is a question best left unasked.]

Everyone, please keep our guests company without setting anyone on fire.

[babel_hacker]

[Only Antec and Asterisk accept the cups of tea, although the Clefairy is being careful with holding the cup while riding Fortran.

...Although, how can a Lanturn hold the tea cup with his fin and drink from it is also a question best left unasked.

It did take Euler a moment to realise it and say hello to the girls.

Atsuro turn his attention back to Cecil.]

Where can I go out to the tent?

[paladinlost]

[Cecil most appreciates that carefulness. It does mean he has to worry less about tea stains on the carpet.

Of course, he still has to worry about Avenger the Banette poking his head out from behind Esuna the Butterfree and smirking.]

I've connected the entrance to the back door in the kitchen. Would you like me to show you?

[babel_hacker]

[Which Fortran would nice. It turns his blocky head over, spying Avenger with its eyes.]

Yep! Lead the way, Mister Cecil.

[paladinlost]

[Avenger just waves innocently. Nothing to see here, promise! Except Esuna hitting him with one of her wings and telling him to behave, that is.]

Very well. Here we go.

[Lead the way he does, passing in front of the food tables as he goes, until he reaches a sliding double door at the back of the house.]

[babel_hacker]

[Fortran will just give Avenger a suspicious look. Sure there's nothing to see over there... Only for Asterisk to tell him to be a little nicer.

Atsuro follows after Cecil, glancing at the food tables as they go--those dips look kind of nice.

Oh right, they're at the back of the house now. Atsuro waits for Cecil to open the doors first.]

[paladinlost]

[Esuna would like to say, for the record, that some suspicion is both warranted and healthy.

And open the doors he does! Right in time for one of the Gyarados (probably Excalibur, the sweetheart) to approach and demand head pats, too. The tent itself seems warm enough; Cecil's larger Pokémon look happy there, at least, and the pond it covers is not frozen.]

There it is. I've no doubt Unit 01 will find plenty to do in here.

[babel_hacker]

[As long Avenger doesn't do anything to itself or Asterisk, he can do whatever.

Atsuro looks up at the Gyarados, smiling. For such a fearsome looking Pokemon, they seem rather sweet.]

I believe he will. [Walking over towards the tent, his hand reach for Unit 01's Pokéball, taking it out and opening it. A moment later, a Golurk appears with a blink. It looks down at its trainer.] Unit 01, you're a bit big for the house, but this tent should be roomy enough for you!

[Oh, alright. As long it's somewhere dry and warm enough, Unit 01 will be fine with this tent.]

[paladinlost]

That's very good to hear. There's a table with treats at the back, if he's hungry. Beverages, too; with those regular Grimer visits, drinking from the pond would be unwise.

[...That definitely wasn't a purple slimy arm that Dora the Hydreigon just shoved back into the water. Nope!]
