Who: Kayneth El-Melloi & Nurse Joy.
Where: A museum date in Ecruteak City.
When: Saturday, March 8th.
Summary: Kayneth uses his prize NPC date to test whether or not Nurse Joy is part of a clone army.
Rating: Presumably not that high, G?
Log:

[ Setting up the outing would have been as simple as calling the paper as directed by Blake. After giving the name of the "local celebrity" who had signed on, they would have been contacted with the details of the meet-up, and would then go to...well, meet up. Granted, in the case of the Nurse Joys it had been rather nebulous which was going to attend the meeting. The Nurse Joy in Olivine had been the one to sign up, but given that Kayneth El-Melloi was in Ecruteak, her younger sister was subbing in for her.

It was pretty unlikely anyone was going to notice the difference.

And anyway, Joy liked museums (or this particular Nurse Joy did), so heck yes she was going to go on an outing to a museum paid for by the paper. It had been a while since she had an evening off, anyway. And here is the first new piece of information about Joys for you, Kayneth: they can wear things other than their uniforms, although Joy's dress is still admittedly rather pink and her hair is done up in the style of Joys everywhere. You don't mess with a winning formula too much.

She's been given a general description of who to look for, so when she spots Kayneth she'll wave, smiling. ]

Mr. El-Melloi? I'm Joy.

[ Off-duty, WHAT UP. ]

[look nurse joy we are not finishing each other's sandwiches that is where he draws the line

and he does genuinely appreciate the craftsmanship, even if he doesn't appreciate the subject matter]

Ah, yes, the naturalism can be commended. I'm not entirely sure if I ---

[...oh dear god is that a really, really nice Romantic-style painting of a baby Snivy sunning itself

he is still in the midst of being Mad About Art but he can't lie.

that is way too cute for him to get angry about...]

...like Bulbasaur as much as Snivy, honestly.

[ See? See this beautiful artwork? Doesn't it make you want to sing? Possibly not about letting it go but like about holding on.

Or sharing sandwiches WHAT LINE DO YOU SPEAK OF.

But no, Joy will turn to look at what Kayneth is indicating. Her eyes light up as she clasps her hands in front of her. ]

Oh! The brushwork on this one is phenomenal...who is the artist...?

[ Just going to check the tag here... ]

Oh, no wonder, then!

[...AN ACTUAL POSSIBLE INDICATOR THAT SHE'S NOT A MEMBER OF A CLONE ARMY...?]

...ah, who is the artist? I'll admit, I haven't completely familiarized myself with the artistic community yet.

Adrien Béringer. I'm surprised our gallery was able to get one of his pieces...well, he does travel quite often, so he might have been in the area when they were putting it together. He's from Kalos, originally.

[ He is one of her favorites. ]

[

WHAT THE FUCK IS KALOS]

Ah... that... might explain it, then...?

[ IT'S NOT FRANCE... ]

I'm so glad we came this way first! It would have been a shame to miss this piece entirely. Oh, but what artists are you a fan of, Mr. El-Melloi?

Ah, yes, it would have.

[...DOES... SHE KNOW HE'S

WELL

FOREIGN? WOULD THAT BE A POINT AGAINST HIM]

Ah, well, they're a bit obscure, really... you probably haven't heard of them.

[it is a gigantic surprise that a pair of hipster glasses didn't suddenly materialize on his face after that statement]

[ YOU COULD HAVE BRUSHED UP ON THE LOCAL ARTISTS IN YOUR TIME HERE, KAYNETH.

IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR.............. ]

Oh, but I would love to hear about them all the same!

[YES BUT NONE OF THEM ARE HIS FAVORITES AND HE'D RATHER TALK ABOUT THOSE]

Well, when it comes to sculpting, there's really no comparison to Gian Lorenzo Bernini. What that man was able to do with marble was positively amazing --- there's no way to provide you any sort of example, but all the same...

[you shouldn't have gotten him started]

Oh, you're right...I don't think I've ever heard of that artist. Perhaps you could take me to see something by him sometime?

[...did he get asked out on a second date?

????

???????

okay anyway]

I would love to, but it would be extremely difficult for a fairly wide variety of reasons.

[ Maybe...? ]

What reasons would those be?

...

It's in a different country and I have absolutely no means of traveling there.

[...that's as good explanation as any.]
