Who: Rise and you! [one locked prompt]
Where: Around Goldenrod
When June 1st
Summary: It's Rise's birthday. And with the Fourth Wall wackiness, she forgot to tell anyone. So here's a depressed Rise who now feels too awkward telling anyone.


Locked Prompt for Crocker

[Rise had found a bakery in the quieter part of Goldenrod. She was sitting at a table in the corner, surrounded by her Pokémon. Her Sylveon, Himiko, and her Umbreon, Chiisai, sat on either side of her, and a newly evolved Glaceon, Jin, laid beside Chiisai. Her ever present Meowstic, Nanako, was trying to cheer up her trainer by floating a burning candle and making it move in complicated patterns.

There was a very small smile on her face, though she still looked sad.]

Thanks, you guys.

Open prompt

[Rise's out and about town now, her usual smile very brittle. She'll nod to people she knows, but keeps walking, her Pokémon always at her side. If anyone pay attention, she's wearing a pair of black glasses, with small bands of color on the frames, a red Alice band, and a set of headphones around her neck. There's also a blue hat attached to a studded belt, buttons on the hat, and a random red rose attached to the band in her hair, and last, a black tie with barrettes attached. (Of course she's wearing clothes to match this look) These are not the usual things she wears, but items from her friends. She had wished for keepsakes from home, and they had been on her bed that morning.

At least something was going right today. Her thoughts are all over the place, so it'll be hard to get her attention.]

Twinkle is a cute name for a Pokémon. What is she?

[Time to get to know her date better!]

[paopuprincess]

She's my Clefairy, I take her with me everywhere.

[dangerousidol]

I have a Cleffa myself. Her name is Momomi, but she prefers to stay at the Dojo. Botan-san has her parents there.

[She looks at her own Pokémon.]

The biggest reason these four go everywhere I go is because two of them are overprotective, and the other two are both overprotective and possessive.

[Have a fun time guessing which is which.]

[paopuprincess]

You're friends with Botan? She's so cool.

[She may kind of look up to her.]

[dangerousidol]

She's my boss. And I think of her as a friend, too.

[Botan is nicer than Killua for sure.]

[paopuprincess]

Oh? What do you do?

[dangerousidol]

I'm an idol for Honeyed Soul. Though my first commercial was a disaster.... I'll redo it, of course!

[paopuprincess]

An idol? Like a model or something?

[dangerousidol]

Part of it. I dance and sing, too. Occasionally I was on tv back home as a guest on shows.

[paopuprincess]

That's pretty cool. I've never met someone who is professionally pretty before.

[dangerousidol]

[WOW, THAT'S THE SECOND TIME SHE'S HEARD THAT HERE. But you get a blush, Kairi.]

E-Eh? You think I'm pretty?

[paopuprincess]

Prettier than me, and I don't say that often. [Smirk.]

[dangerousidol]

[Ooh how did this get turned around? Rise is stumped for once.]

T-That... Uhm... T-thanks?

[paopuprincess]

[Kairi lets go of one of Rise's hands to sip her drink.]

Wow... this is really good. [Siiip.]

[dangerousidol]

[Rise got so comfortable she forgot they were holding hands. She sips her own drink and unconsciously squeezes Kairi's hand.]

Isn't it? I got the cherry limeade myself. Not to sour or sweet.

[paopuprincess]

The cream really helps how sour the pineapple is... [She takes another long sip.]

So what do you like to do for fun?

[dangerousidol]

It really is the perfect summer drink. [She actually has to think about this.]

Since coming here? Meeting my friends face to face and hanging out with them. I actually like training my Pokémon now... And I like walking around and exploring everything here. What about you?

[paopuprincess]

I like taking trips to the beach. The Safari Zone is really fun too. I'm not even sure if training my pokemon counts as a hobby since it's what I do for my job.

[dangerousidol]

You train Pokémon as a job? I didn't know you could do that...

[paopuprincess]

Technically I train other people's pokemon. I help run the Training Center. I'm usually the first face you see when you walk in!

[dangerousidol]

Some people... don't want to train their own Pokémon?

[paopuprincess]

Or they don't know how. Sometimes they just need an Ace trainer to show them the ropes.

[Not talking herself up or anything.]

[dangerousidol]

[She doesn't really know what an Ace trainer is, but it sound like someone who knows how to do things right when it comes to Pokémon.]

That sounds really impressive. Maybe you can give me some tips sometime~

[paopuprincess]

Sure, you can pay me in these fruity drinks.

[She takes another sip.]

[dangerousidol]

Only in fruity drinks?

[It's said with a teasing tone. Let's see if Kairi picks up on that.]
