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.]

[It does smell good. Kairi can't help but taste her lower lip.]

It's like candy makeup. [She snickers.]

[dangerousidol]

It kind of is. There is a ton of flavors. And it makes kissing a lot more tasty, too~

[She loves using flavored lipgloss.]

[paopuprincess]

Really?

[She leans up pecks her lips.]

[dangerousidol]

[She returns the peck, licking her lips after.]

Yup. Very tasty.

[paopuprincess]

I might need to get some flavors for myself.

[She rests her head on Rise's shoulder.]

[dangerousidol]

You can get some here. We can pick some up before getting cake.

[She can't help but nuzzle Kairi. She's so cute!]

[paopuprincess]

What's your favorite flavor? [She returns the nuzzle.]

[dangerousidol]

Hm... I think cotton candy is a really good one. That one's harder to find, though. I think I'd pick that as my favorite right now. [She likes some sweets, too.]

[paopuprincess]

We definitely need to find some of that.

[Or even just cotton candy. She loves cotton candy.]

[dangerousidol]

They have a pretty big makeup section here. I'm sure we'll find something.

[paopuprincess]

But that means we have to move...

[She whispers dreamily.]

[dangerousidol]

[She giggles softly.]

We can't just stay in the photo-booth all day. We can always go be comfortable in a bed later or something.

[paopuprincess]

Mn... bed does sound pretty good. I had a long trip.

[Of course, cake first, but still.]

[dangerousidol]

Then we should go. We can get the cake... and find you a place to stay if you don't want to stay at the Dojo.

[paopuprincess]

Well, I wouldn't want to turn down an invitation.

[It could be a slumber party for Rise's birthday.]

[dangerousidol]

[A slumber party of two people.]

Wold you like to spend the night at the Dojo with me?

[paopuprincess]

Okay.

[She gives a small, warm smile.]

[dangerousidol]

Does that give you a reason to get up now~?

[paopuprincess]

Oh fine. [She gives her shoulder a gentle shove.]

[dangerousidol]

[She laughs softly and nuzzles her.] We can get comfy again later.

[paopuprincess]

[And off they go, stopping by the bakery to pick up Rise's birthday cake. After taking it home and eating admittedly too much of it, the girls decide to turn their attention back on each other.

Kairi hugs Rise's arm tight, following her as they walk.]

So... which room is yours?

[dangerousidol]

[The cake been even tastier sharing it with someone Rise was very at ease with. She leads her to a room with a few beds, but vacant otherwise. She was the only occupant at this time being one of a few girls that worked for Honeyed Souls.]

Right in here~

[paopuprincess]

[Kairi understands the feeling. When she arrived, there were so many empty rooms in the training center. Now the place is bustling with life.

She follows Rise into her room and takes a seat at the edge of her bed.]

[dangerousidol]

[She walks over to the window and closes the curtains.]

The other girls who work here are all traveling, and Botan-san has her own room. I've never met the other girls I work with... Maybe one day.

[She stretches and sees her Pokémon scattered about the other beds.]

Do you want to let Twinkle out? She might be more comfortable that way.

[paopuprincess]

Good idea, she probably won't want to sleep in there.

[She takes the ball from her pocket and lets the little star-shaped creature out. Twinkle shakes herself to puff out her fur, flapping her tiny wings to propel herself into Kairi's lap.]

Hey Twinks. [She scratches her ear.]
