Why Don't You Go Where Fashion Sits?
Who: Participants of the Kalosmas New Year's Event!
Where: The Hotel Richissime, in scenic Lumiose City, Kalos!
When: Wednesday, December 31 - Thursday, January 1!
Summary: After all the shenanigans of Hoennween, it's about time everybody had a chance to relax and unwind, courtesy of some actually benign NPCs. With all the luxuries of the Hotel Richissime waiting at their disposal, that shouldn't be too difficult a prospect!
Rating: PG in general; please mark threads that go higher accordingly!

A FEW OTHER SETTING NOTES:
• At the moment, this log spans the entirety of the New Year's Eve plot, so starters may be posted for any time on either day of the event. If things start getting massive and it looks like an overflow log will be necessary, we'll definitely see about putting one up, and will link it to this one if need be.
• The Event Itinerary can be found here! Remember that participating in this course of events is not mandatory, but it's what will be going on in the grand scheme of things over the course of the event.
• All event participants are being housed on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel. Your bedrooms are laid out like this; if you participated in our IC Rooming Roulette, you can find your buddy on this table here!
• Most activities here will be free! ICly, your characters will use their room cards to "pay" for most things, and the charges will be applied to their room (which of course, they are not paying for personally). Gift shops, parts of the casino, and food not provided as part of the event are not chargeable to your rooms and characters will have to use their own money in those locations.
• Underage characters may use the casino; however, they may be subject to some social scrutiny and side-eyeing in the event that they attempt to get in on one of the high-roller tables.
A NOTE ABOUT USING THREADS ON THIS LOG FOR AC:
Because of how our AC period works (the grace week into January still counting toward December), all threads on this log are valid toward December's AC, regardless of timestamp! However, because the log technically spans two different months and we want to encourage tagging out on it, we have also made this decision:
On this log and this log alone, comment threads timestamped in January (OOCly) that reach AC-length may be used towards January's AC, as well. Therefore, if a thread on this log reaches AC length with 10+ comments timestamped in January, you can use it toward January's AC (assuming the same thread has not already been used to satisfy December's AC).

[ Bathrobe-clad and hair down, Valmont isn't really focused on anything except getting to the next spa station. So when he turns around to see who's trying to get his attention - well, whatever he was expecting, it wasn't a giant bug. He's used to weird creatures by now - how could he not be? - but giant bugs still give him pause. And this one appears to be trying to give him something else... a towel? ]
Er, I'm afraid that isn't -
[ But she seems insistent. So he takes the proffered towel gingerly, holding it between his thumb and forefinger as though it were diseased. Which it might well be. Who knows what sort of germs the other hotel guests have brought with them? Not to mention what it might have picked up from the insect! ]
I beg your pardon! Do you work here?
[ Valmont that is a Pokémon, it can't talk. ]
no subject
She seems pleased that he took the towel from her, which must mean it was his after all. About here is when she turns slightly to see Chihiro walk up, his Lucario and Hitmontop still being seen a few paces back.]
Ah, I'm sorry. I hope she isn't bothering you.
[Shiruku's antennae twitch as she looks down at Chihiro, shaking her head. No, she was just helping this man, see?]
no subject
[ The look on his face indicates he clearly does. ]
You really ought to keep an eye on your pets, you know, young lady. [ Says the man whose own Pokémon are nowhere in sight. Though if one were to spot a Servine lounging around in a pair of sunglasses acquired from god knows where, while nearby a Stunky and Gothita look after a sickly green egg... that'd be them. ]
no subject
I...I'm sorry. I'm sure she didn't mean to disrupt you. I'll...be sure to do that.
[Of course Shiruku can still take care of herself and he's well aware of that fact, but he isn't quite sure what else to say.]
no subject
Oh, don't make that face. [ To Chihiro: ] Tell it not to make that face. I'm sure it was an honest, if disgusting, mistake.
[ Seriously what the hell is he supposed to do with this towel. ]
no subject
[Chihiro blinks, trailing off and glancing back up at the bug type next to him. Shiruku grimaces a little, her gaze growing a little harder. Hey now, don't tell Chihiro what to do. Also how is he supposed respond to that, even.]
no subject
Why is it looking at me like that?
[ Out of nowhere, the aforementioned sunglasses-wearing Servine slithers into view, coiling lightly around his trainer's leg as he hisses at Shiruku. You looking for trouble, friendo? ]
no subject
She...she probably...um....the way you said that...I guess...
[And again he trails off, his voice growing small until he can't be heard at all.]
no subject
Get off me. [ He attempts to extricate his leg from the Servine's coils. ] And take those things off, they look bloody ridiculous.
[ The Servine scowls, but does as he's told. If nothing else, it's easier to glare at Shiruku with his sunglasses pushed up on his head. ]
Do speak up, won't you? [ He cocks an ear toward Chihiro. ] I'm sure you're quite aware of the fact that no one likes a mumbler.
no subject
Chihiro flinches and looks down, averting his gaze and edging a bit closer to his Leavanny.]
I'm sorry...just...t-...the way you...said that, just now...
[May be the reason she had that look? He really doesn't know what Valmont wants from him and Shiruku is starting to regret coming this way.]
no subject
[ It may have something to do with the way you're bullying the poor kid? ]
no subject
No...never mind. You haven't...done anything wrong. I a-apologize.
no subject
Er. As well you should. [ Huff. ] Just - just be careful to whom you give things in future, all right? Things that might not be theirs, and all.
[ His Servine, not quite convinced, slithers a little closer to Shiruku and growls. He doesn't know what she was trying to pull, but it upset his trainer, and therefore it was Not Okay. ]
no subject
In probably as polite of terms as you can please, that's Pokemon speak for BRO. CHILL.
And to Valmont she just nods, not interested in causing any more trouble. It isn't going to stop her from being a decent Pokemon in the future, but dang.]
Y-yes. We won't bother you any more.
no subject
He gestures impatiently at the Servine, who slinks back to his feet. What in the world is this feeling. It isn't guilt, is it? Preposterous. ]
Er... look. I'm sure my snake felt he had my best interests at heart. That is, if he's bothered you, I'm s- s-
[ Whatever he's trying to say, he's having a great deal of trouble getting it out. ]
no subject
No...it's alright. ...really.
[Judging by his expression it's...pretty far from alright but he's actually doing rather well at holding it together. He's even making it a point to speak up, lest he be told to do so a second time.]
I'll um....m..make sure my Pokemon stay with me from now on.
no subject
[ Oh, the girl had better not start crying while she's still talking to him. He's not equipped to deal with that. ]
no subject
We'll leave, now. I'm very sorry.
