Generic mingling post!!

[solacement]

[Anyone and anymon with a sense of smell may notice a rather nice one coming from the direction of the Pokemon Center, or maybe they'll see the small crowd first...

It looks like someone got permission to put a long table full of food out in front of the center. It's got berry pies, berry cakes, berry juice, and even a few rare candies. Anyone who doesn't like berries is out of luck, but there's all kinds of treats for those who do. A card placed on the table says it's all free to be taken, and a young man with pink hair will be helping any younger kids or shorter 'mons get what they want.

A little group of people has gathered around to eat standing up or sitting in the Center's lobby. Come get a snack? And maybe introduce yourself to the other (unfortunate) people here?]

[The "Young Man With Pink Hair" will be sticking close to the table so he can help anyone out.

...Though, honestly, he doesn't actually have a whole lot to do. So at the moment, he's just petting a Teddiursa (sitting on the table) on the head and smiling at anyone who passes by.]

[whataloon]

[ Oh what a nice boy.

This trainer will smile back when she's smiled at, too, because surely it's only polite to return the good luck that comes with getting a free smile. ]

[relevantribbons]

[There is a confused little girl in sports clothes walking around with a Breloom and looking pretty lost... strained smile in answer to your smile? Should we ask you for directions...]

[notpoisoned]

[ Ooh, is this a food festival? In that case, Esti will be picking around to see if there's anything interesting to take note of. It's been a while since he's been to a gathering bigger than five or six people after all.

And putting some more ~mature~ drinks on the table if anyone wants any. Who doesn't want fermented berry juice : D? ]

[solacement]

[...wait hold up did you just casually put alcohol in there with the other juices--]

Ah, would you like for me to set up another table for your things? [Hello nice kid who also brought stuff, you get a smile. Though excuse him while he confirms his suspicions by sniffing at that "juice". Yep, this is... yeah.]

[fluffyrivalry]

[Red is glad that Eevee likes the big poffin it's nibbling away at so much! It always feels good to watch a Pokemon happily munch on something it enjoys.

...However, he would like to eat something too. Which is being made kind of hard, because his arms are full of content normal type. But of course, he doesn't have the heart to interrupt the poor thing, so he's just kind of standing over here and staring at the table while he waits for his companion to finish eating (very very slowly).]

[petitblitz]

[So there's a bitty kid.

On the roof of the Pokemon center.

With a plate of bitter snacks.

...he doesn't seem to be particularly concerned about falling off or anything, at least...]

[petitebreeze]

[There is a familiar head of purple hair wandering to the table down below! ...She's aiming for the sweets. Sweet things are so yummy and as long as she's careful not to bump into anyone no one will approach her, right? Right! Sweets!]

[hornedhero]

[Please do excuse the kid in the villain team uniform mingling in with the rest of you. Him and his Mightyena (her paws are up on the edge of the table) are staring hard at the treats offered, apparently having trouble making up their minds.

...no, it hasn't occurred to them to just get a little of each yet.]

[gracefulhustling]

[...omg this jelly-thing is shaped like a flower. THAT'S SO COOL.

Except now that he's gone and taken it, he's now faced with the fact that he has to eat it.

.......but it's so neat-looking....

Sorry if this guy bumps into you, this is obviously a serious dilemma that deserves more attention than the other things around him.]

[sweetblessings]

[ No it's totally okay it's not like Togekiss can reach anything on the table anyway, being a bird with feathers for hands.

Pretty interesting shaped food-thing you have there, brother. ]

[theglovesstayon]

[This one was not paying attention to the food or you, apparently focused on something else.
He will turn suddenly when you bump into him, as his first reflex is to attack, but he stops it before he's even done turning and just looks at you instead]
... I apologise.

[He's... squinting a little, like he's trying to see something on your face]

[cuddlylandshark]

[ This tall dude is busy chowing down on a slice of pie. So busy in fact, that it takes him a moment to realized someone bumped into him. ]

Oh, sorry about th— [ !!! ] Buddy! [ Oh man Drake is so happy to see Aruna that he's getting an impromptu ursaring hug! Hopefully that treat doesn't get crushed. ]

[swappedeggs]

[ Did somebody say free food? FREE FOOD.

Sorry people, this one here's a bit of a glutton when it comes to food. She'll make sure other people have enough to go around but...

Eh, don't mind her piling up her plate as high as it will go. ]

[justbeforedusk]

[...that is a lot of food!!

She's worried that your plate is going to collapse under all that weight. Please be careful, older girl...]

[toxicwarning]

[This kid is standing a little ways off from the party. It's hard to tell whether this is because he's shy, or because he's being considerate. After all, if he and his large Garbodor companion ate their pecha cake any closer, they'd stink up the whole party.

You're welcome to approach if you can take the stench, though.]

[sacredswords]

[They were supposed to be looking around, but this kid and his little blue pony-mon got lured in by the sweet smell of delicious pastries.

He's got a donut-type-thing in one hand, and is holding up a paper plate of cake for Keldeo to eat off of in his other. They both have the expression of, well, of a pair of children who just got free cake.]

[awakenedflames]

[Well, the smell of food can get this sleepy kid up and moving. He'll just kind of wander in and stare at the food, wondering if it's okay to take some. He hasn't actually gotten close enough to see the sign.]

[fluffmaster]

[...? Why are you just standing there, is there a problem?]

You may take as much as you want! There is plenty to go around. That is what I heard. Or do you need some help?

[etranger]

Mako herself isn't really one for sweet things beyond the occasional Casteliacone, so she just has a bit of juice which she sips at.

Etranger, who is never picky about what she eats, is happily devouring a cake decorated with Oran berries, switching the head she eats with regularly so she can watch both her surroundings and Mako.

[dokubutsuchuui]

[Sigal prefers blander stuff, himself. He's got plenty of Pokemon who like this kinda deal, though, and as the least smelly member of the party present, it's his job to get everyone's share.

...hi giant hydra dragon you seem to be having fun. Here, have a sitrus berry from another part of the table.]

[orangecharm]

[ Wow, look at all that lovely food, and it's free too! Who could even possible resist?

Well, standing in a corner of the lobby is a young(?) girl, who is almost begrudgingly eating a Cheri-jelly donut. And while she looks completely bored, there's an aura of annoyance buzzing around her. ]

[scarletadministrator]

[How could you possibly eat a berry-jelly-filled dessert grudgingly, girl? Shuuya would question your taste if he noticed.

Speaking of Shuuya, he's over there. In a stupid-looking t-shirt. Piling up a tower of jelly-filled donuts.

...the Mienshao next to him is already carrying a plate full of them. Apparently, he fully intends to run off with most of the donuts on the table.]

[stationary]

[This guy is sitting inside the Center. A bit awkwardly, since he's about the only person here without any snacks or juice in hand. But that's okay, because he has one of those picture books from that book rack over there and he can pretend to be distracted by it.

...he might glance up from time to time and accidentally make eye contact with someone, though.]

[archeops]

[GRRAAAAHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

Archeops keeps as far away as he can from everything, sitting near the edge of the center and looking extremely agitated. Pokemon Centers are familiar, but he's freakin' by himself THIS IS 100% AWFUL

Still, Trainer wouldn't want him to make a mess, so he'll just... ...sit here, twitching his tail and distractedly rearranging his wings... trying not to flip his shit....]

Let's see if I can remember her characterization...

[usedrevive]

[REALLY FUCKING COOL, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

...if you were to ask "Trainer", who thinks this is all quite a grand adventure. She's suddenly been magically transported to a real, live ghost town! Too bad it's modern, but oh well. Still neat. It is kind of lonely, though, since she only had a single pokeball on her when she arrived and Sigilyph is not very good company. So the sound of talking, more than the smell of food, lures her over to the Center.

...oh hey those are some showy bright familiar colors way over there are you who she thinks you are let's see WAVE WAVE WAVE]

[cuddlylandshark]

[ Standing at the table is one tall, bright and fashionably-impaired guy with a plate filled with food. In fact, the plate is stacked with one of everything available. Is it even possible for someone to eat that much...?

Well, regardless if he can finish his plate, the grin on his face is certainly as big as his eyes. ]

[theglovesstayon]

[... that is a lot of food. And this guy's galvantula is eyeing for a second, before he notices and calls it back. He seems irritated, though not at the pokemon]

[justbeforedusk]

[This kid could reach everything on the table she wanted... except that one plate of cookies towards the center that looks really nice.

And so, rather than ask the pink haired guy for help (he seems a bit busy), she just stripped off her boots and is... having her Luxray let her stand on its back like a step-stool.

...It's an odd-looking scene...]

[theglovesstayon]

[... here, silent guy is pretty damn tall and will reach that plate for you and hand it over]
