Who: Joker, Beast, Ronald Know, Snake, Jimmy, Ib, Hagakure, Botan, Crocker and the rest of the circus
Where: The Circus
When: 12/25
Summary: Celebrating Christmas at the Circus
Rating: PG - PG13
Log:

For a switch around Crocker is actually excited for Christmas this year but that may be due to the fact this year he knows there's something to look forward too. Santa here for one seemed more forgiving as last year Crocker didn't receive a lump of coal from Claus and not to mention has others to spend time with it this year as well.

He figures as much this is as good as any other day to invite some of his close friends over to meet the circus he's been able to call family.

In the meantime, he'll be wrapping gifts, hanging lights and getting the Christmas tree together and the other various decorations.

"Don't suppose you have any advice on Cyndaquil's not burning you, do you?"

In other words, Crocker gets a bit excited and scares his own Cyndaquil.

"...Sure?" The man replies a bit confused because Jimmy trusts Crocker enough to be around the man and electric lighting.

"Right this way." There is just something off in his voice even if there are no ill intentions.

"Ahaha, well...to tell you the truth, Fahren here has done that on accident once or twice. You just gotta be careful!" And learn to predict when your Cyndaquil may, in fact, be about to sneeze.

And this is Jimmy we're talking about. His concept of danger doesn't exist.

And so he follows after setting Fahren down to let him play with the other Pokemon in the tent while they work.

Which for Crocker is hard since he seems to be accident prone and just slowly looks to one side before looking straight on to Jimmy, "But that's besides the point!"

Crocker seems to pull out from no-where a gift, rather poorly wrapped for Jimmy. Which is a yellow scarf and another round wrapped gift of Poke treats for Jimmy's Pokemon.

"... How's Shroomish and Inferno?"

Jimmy blinks with surprise when Crocker suddenly pulls out the gift, immediately grinning as he takes it in his hands. He isn't without something, and with a nod of his head the Cyndaquil on his shoulder hops down to go fetch it from his bag.

"Aw, thank you Mr. Crocker! They're doing great! Spore is a Breloom now, actually!"

"You're -WELCOME!" The man also figured this is a way to make things better between between them and watches the Pokemon drive into the bag before looking back up at Jimmy.

"Oh! Sounds like someone evolved... Do you think I could see Breloom?"

Since he didn't apologize to the Pokemon.

"Oh...sure! Gimme just a sec."

He turns to pull one of the pokeballs off of his belt while his Cyndaquil comes trotting back, holding up a small box for Crocker to take. Inside he'll find a handmade bracelet with his name on it, like many others Jimmy has made.

With a flash of light, the bipedal mushroom appears, blinking and tilting his head at Jimmy. When he spots Crocker, however, he tenses visibly, taking a small step back with his tail curling around his legs.

"It's alright. Mr. Crocker just wants to talk to you."

"Hey. I just wanted to say. I'm sorry! Sorry, about what happened... It's not that I didn't like you. And I learned a lot. I promise it won't happen again. Can we try again?" As he speaks, Crocker's hand is slowly reaching towards the Pokemon.

Before he's distracted by the Cyndaquil offering the box, "Yay! Present! I love it! Thank you."

Crocker slides the bracelet on, though he's happy with any gift that isn't coal.

"Which reminds me." Crocker whistles and Growlithe wearing a santa claus hat comes with a present for Jimmy, inside he'll find a scarf.

The Breloom hesitates for a moment, watching Crocker as he reaches toward him. He doesn't seem against starting over- after all, it did happen some time ago- but he's fine to just wait while Crocker accepts his present.

Jimmy's definitely pleased by his own, grinning from ear to ear once he opens it. He puts it on right away, laughing, "Haha wow, it's perfect! Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Crocker isn't just glad about the present but also that Jimmy seems to have let what has happened passed. Even if Crocker knew that he owed Jimmy and would feel better if one day if he want beyond to help Jimmy.

Denzel's attention goes back to Breloom and slowly reaches his hand out, "What do you say?"

Spore tilts his head a little before slowly extending his claws to put them in Crocker's hand, nodding his head a little.
