[attr="class","mv1"]"so you're not interested..." evan watched as the scizor reluctantly picked at the food on the plate and sighed. he didn't know what the scizor wanted but he was pretty sure that he didn't have it. what were its favorite snacks anyway? he had gotten no information from miles except for to distract the bug pokemon for five minutes...which he was pretty sure the five minutes were already up but it was still here.
his attention was soon off the pissy bug pokemon when he heard a noise from across the table. evan looked over and raised an eyebrow in confusion when the man that had sat down immediately got right back up and started to curse to no one in particular. 'i'm guess i'm not his type...' he could almost laugh at the way the man was reacting. it wasn't like evan was looking for anyone either but it seemed the man was. he stared between the man and the gabite as they had a conversation between the two of them. it looked like he was debating whether or not to sit down.
whether or not he did was no problem to evan because he was already developing a headache from the events of the evening. finally the other decided to sit down before asking rudely if he was going to say anything. 'oh great this is just getting better and better...' were his only thoughts as he glared across the table at him. he could just get up and leave right now if he didn't want to be here. no one was forcing him to sit and talk with him. "what the fuck do you have shoved up your ass?" but he wasn't going to sit here and take whatever rude comment was being thrown at him. "sorry i can't help you with that cause whatever that was isn't going to get you lucky with anyone. unless you are looking for some five dollar whore to call you daddy and work out whatever the fuck your problem is."

Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart
Briley had been pretty reluctant to leave Cedric in Room 2. She had been assigned to the next room for the second bit of the Speed Dating portion, and quite frankly didn't want to leave her partner's side. But she supposed standing up somebody that could possibly be cute wouldn't look all that great on her record.
So she packed it up and finally left, returning to the other room and pushing Cedric to the back of her head. It only took her a minute sand the room and find her new table. Starting to smirk, she adjusted her fitted dress and waltzed up to him as if she was the most suave son of a bitch in the building.
"Well, hello," she said in a voice slightly lower than she usually used, eyebrows high and eyelids hooded. "Aren't you a cutie?"
She pulled out her chair and sat down in it, crossing her legs and taking the glass of wine on the table before taking a few sips. Briley sent a couple looks the boy's way before putting the glass down and introducing herself.
"I'm Briley Beckett," she said, popping her lips and looking down to the pokemon scuttling up to her feet. "And this is Shepherd." The Venipede clicked his mandibles in greetings.
After waiting for her date to follow suit with his name, she took another sip of wine and said, "You gotta stop being cute, otherwise I might have to arrest ya." She winked. "Ranger's orders and such."
With a blink Sam would look up as he heard someone approaching his table. A smiling growing ever so slightly on his face at who had shown up, while he didn't know her or anything she was definitely a major step up from a 12 year old.
it helped that her dress was also pretty damn eye catching. Hell pretty much everything about the person in front of him was eye catching, he certainly lucked out on this pairing. He'd blink a bit in confusion at one of the first things she said...did she just call him a cutie?
That was definitely new for him, not that he'd complain about it, simply choosing to chuckle instead. He'd shift around a bit as she sat down, getting a bit comfortable as well. Ignoring his glass of wine however, he honestly wasn't too much of a drinker to begin with, and why give someone a false impression of yourself if you're supposed to make a meaningful impact on them...or something.
He honestly wasn't too sure what the point of the speed date was, a slight doubt slipping into his mind that he'd even see any of these people again."Im Sam, Sam Holiday." He said in reply before looking over at the Natu on his shoulder. "And this is Tutu.." He said, a bit embarrassed by what he had named the Natu now that he said it out loud.
Debating on finding a new nickname for the future seeing bird already. With a slight nod of his head at the last thing she said Sam would let out another chuckle, honestly finding the whole arresting him for being cute thing a bit funny.
Only to reply with "Shouldn't you be turning yourself in for the same thing then?" with a very slight tilt of his head.
[attr="class","idfc3"]I DONT WANT TO POST ANYMORE FUCK
[attr="class","idfc4"]He was already more than willing to call it quits by the first round. Hell, he didn’t even want to wait for that one to be over -- and having found no way out but the window (to which he hadn’t gotten a chance to open) he found himself stuck. Ushered into the next room despite his open protests of continuing any further, all of which being heard by deaf ears and closed (and surprisingly relocked) doors. It was infuriating. First the people were enough to drive a hole in his head -- almost literally if he had been able to find something to stab through his skull and end it all -- but then it was the amount of unneeded (and rather obsessive) attention being placed on security for a little dating event. What was even the point of locking them in a room together just to speed date and move around when called.
When his name was called to leave he noticed a few things, a few names (or rather the bodies who followed through the now open doors) that had all shared some part in what had happened in the first round; or at least had the nerve to speak up in an issue that wasn’t theirs to begin with. It’s when he enters the room that he notices to familiar people -- one of which he knows when he hears the name called out, the other he can without any hints. His eyes barely glance away when he catches sight of Evan at his table, only switches to stare at the other redhaired boy who -- for whatever turn of fate -- would be his “date” for the second round.
“You look like shit.” he said, hinting at the swelling of his eye caused by whatever may have happened in the former round or prior. “You punch yourself in the face or did you do some stupid shit to your date to earn you that shiner?” It was rhetorical; he didn’t really care what was the reason for his soon to become black eye to be worn in idiotic pride through the rest of the event. That was all on him. He waited a moment to seat himself, staring at the man who had earlier punched him in the next room walked towards the table Evan sat at, glaring the figure before finally sitting down. Out of anyone he could be paired up with it was him, of course.
He didn’t pay Miles any attention nor did he feel like commenting on the fucked up table arrangement he had just sat in front of; and truthfully, he thinks his “date” wouldn’t mind the silence either. He pushes everything aside to the center, makes a place for himself to lay crossed arms against and his head to be seats against them -- and again his attention is all towards the table a little ways from their own, watching Evans date go on and making sure that guy didn’t try to pull anything.

The rooms much like the tides first integrate in a crash and soon after separate receding to their own rooms the new pairings having formed. The trainer is thankful he doesn't have to move far his pairing having been forced in his room opposed to vice-versa. It also kept Scizor in sight with the only other red headed boy in the room currently also having remained in his room, much to much kinder man's dismay. Miles needs the space to breathe and it seems the red pokemon despite its fierce look has taken quite the liking to the young Mr. Reis, or rather it seems to enjoy toying with the man if nothing else. He takes a seat at his table white hat and mask covering the majority of his bruised eye blueish purple only peeking out the side of the mask. He'd managed to ice it during the very short intermission, but the people were very adamant about keeping the guests in here until the event had ended. It was indeed odd, but Miles saw no reason to fight it. He wasn't so injured that he couldn't sit through another round or two.
It's now while he's at his own table that he can find what he assumes to be the actual Syndra sitting down with a kid around her age his eyes masked by sunglasses. The girl seemed slightly rocked, something he'd talk to her about later she having come from the room beside their own. Along with the green haired girl comes another man, one he'd barely spoken to since their...tuff in the caves back in Petalburg. Just as fate would have it his date and this very man seemed to be one and the same.
They're both weary, that much is obvious the larger man stealing glances at the other two red heads in the room now, before returning to Miles himself. "Flattery'll get you nowehere." The darker haired man having picked up on his black eye immediately, "And here I thought the mask would help hide it a little damn." He sighs as the man questions him about black eye, "I don't wanna hear it coming from the guy who looks like he just threw a table at someone next door." Both men were obviously not in the best of moods and both fell into silence for a moment.
Miles decides to break the silence this time around eyeing his Scizor from across the room now. "You're not wrong, call it a misunderstanding." A half smile replaces the annoyed look on his face for a moment, "I managed to get a number though." He stops for a moment leaning slightly back in his chair taking the mask off entirely but leaving the hat on ready to confront one of the many elephants in the room. "Should I ask about World war III or we just gonna let that one sit for a few." He pauses for a moment a twinkle of concern in his eye if that. "Evan was tripping the fuck out." They both were honestly, but Miles would rather have keeled over right there before admitting he was even slightly worried himself.
It's now that he hears screaming from across the room his eyes focusing on the table of red heads once again, before eyeing Noah. "What's the deal with kid sitting across from Evan, doesn't exactly seem like a proper Gent, if you catch my drift."

happy understood the spheal's request and happily obliged, placing the pair of shades on the spheal's head. she laughed at how funny the spheal looked with it on. looked no better than niko, in fact. she smiled brightly at her new friend.
"sure sure, it's free however if that was what's stopping you," he replied. his eyes followed the bird that flew from somewhere and landed on her head. he smiled at the bird. it was fluffy and cute, he had no complaints about this one.
and then his ears picked up a voice all too familiar. he hesitated, glancing over to the side to see his little sister going around bugging other people. he felt embarrassed, so much so that he pretended to drop something to lean over to pick it up, not letting syndra see his flushed face. the happiny however, saw it very clearly.
"h-hey syndra cute spheal you have h-here..." he said. anything to keep her attention away from the girl.
It was strange how much an accessory could change someone's look. The instant the shades were placed on the ice type, that goofy smile suddenly looked like a smug smirk. Enjoying the limelight provided from the Happiny's laughing the Spheal rocked from side to side playfully, something that earned the attention of Syndra in the corner of her eye. The fact the two pokemon got along was comforting. "It's that and the atmosphere. I mentioned this is my first time at one of these types of things so going to another one so soon might be too much," she spoke honestly. She was rather surprised that the male had guessed money was one of the issues however perhaps she shouldn't have expected otherwise. To her, she stuck out like a sore thumb with her current outfit and behavior.
For awhile Syndra had kept her eyes on the small girl that looked so out of place. With the doors locked there was nothing that could be done about it. It was Niko's words that reigned her attention back in as her jade eyes moved back to him. "Huh?" The sound was instinctive as she was trying to recollect and figure out what he had said. On that note he didn't need to repeat the question. "Oh- Spheal. Thank you," she blurted with the realization. "Your Happiny is cute too. I'm actually somewhat jealous of it." For now his plan succeeded. In the background of her peripheral vision however the small girl was still in sight... did she look familiar?

Briley settled into her seat nicely, feeling more comfortable the more wine she drank and the more the cutie in front of her talked. He seemed pretty astonished that she was here, and Briley didn't blame him — she looked hot as fuck and she wasn't afraid to flaunt it.
She giggled a little at his little Natu's name. "TuTu? That's adorable," she said lightly, staring directly into Sam's eyes. "It fits your adorable personality, too," she winked.
Briley finished her first glass of wine for the evening. She leaned forward in her chair, crossing her elbows below her as a sort of prop (and, admittedly, to bring more attention to her dress). She chuckled at Sam's little remark, an attempt to flirt that she greatly appreciated. Briley raised a hand to rest her cheek on. "Well, aren't you clever?" she played a little with her hair and bit her bottom lip for just a moment, enough for him to maybe gather that she was really interested. "We're exempt," she eventually replied.
"But you're not, and I might have to keep an eye on you to make sure you don't need to be incarcerated...." She took a napkin from a table and a pen she had hidden somewhere under her dress, scribbling down her number and passing it to Sam with another wink. "Call me sometime, I'd love to hear that cute voice or yours."
She should have him wrapped around her little finger.

"do you want to get married?!" she asks again with slight impatience. will seems like a friendly guy. she leads him over to the table, where she proceeds to yell at the loner guy and asks if he wants to marry her, too.
the guy isn't very responsive as she thought he'd be. he doesn't say yes or anything either, but as least his earphones are out. emma smiles gleefully. "of course i do! i'll propose to you and you say yes!" she says. all the wedding stuff can come in later. she'd already thought of a color to go with the theme. it'd be a red wedding for sure!
she looks around at the room, trying to spot anyone else that she could possibly marry. her eyes roamed across the room. someone with green hair, someone with orange hair, a couple with red hair, someone with white hair -- woah wait, it's someone familiar! emma can spot him from anywhere? what's that nerd doing out of his room?
emma suddenly runs to him, leaving her potential fiance's behind, and with a giant squeal she hooks her arms around his neck and gives him a half-hug, half tackle. "hey big bro, what are you doing here?!" she yells, "are you gonna get married to that girl?!!?!?"
Post by niko kasperson on Jul 13, 2015 17:19:45 GMT
a lot of people seem to really like happiny. niko could see why, he guessed. she was cute and pink, a combination like that would appeal to any female. at least syndra was distracted for a fair bit. that was until someone hugged him. or tackled him, actually.
emma's hug, or tackle, almost made him fall off his seat. luckily he grabbed the corner of the table and was able to hold on for dear life. but he struggled to sit back upright. but when he finally did he returned the hug quite awkwardly.
"h-hi lil sis i'm on a date," he replied. he found it quite hard to breathe with her arms wrapped around his neck. but he managed. when emma asked the question his cheeks turned a shade of pink as he panicked. but he managed to calm himself down enough to churn out a smooth reply.
"i don't know. are we?" he shot a glance over at syndra and smiled at her.
The sudden flying child gliding in the air at her current date was certainly startling for anyone in the vicinity. Being directly in front of it, Syndra couldn't help but raise a hand to cover her gasp. Thankfully Niko hadn't been thrown off his chair and into a wall or something. Her jade eyes situated themselves on the girl now clinging onto her partner's neck, the resemblance being clearer now that the two were side by side. At the end it didn't take the verbal clarification to notify her of their blood ties. It made a lot of sense. The girl was this person's sibling. Syndra found herself giggling at the sibling love as it was rather heartwarming to watch and a great change of pace from what happened in the last round of speed dates.
On the girl's sudden question the smile from her giggling lingered. With how the girl had run around yelling about marrying a few seconds prior it didn't catch her off guard. The question was deflected off the brother towards herself however and she waved off the suspicion. "Haha, don't be giving your sister ideas now," she said in a deceptively cheerful yet dismissive way. It was too early to make that judgment and the date was only five minutes long. Plus in her experience it wasn't a good idea to let a kid's imagination get too wild with slivers of ideas they got here and there. She caught sight of the blood rushing to Niko's cheeks but that was normal. Getting choked and embarrassed by one's younger sibling in front of the opposite gender could do that. "Be careful you aren't hurting your brother too much."
This wasn't what Syndra had expected for the second round of speed dating but it was a much welcome change from the first round. Relaxing her shoulders and waving a greeting to the young girl she spoke again to her five minute date. "You have a cute sister but why is she running around asking people for marriage."

'Dear God...' This girl was a riot, that was for sure, even if she didn't know it. Finding it hard not to follow her as she was so entertaining, though, Sylvester came just behind her as she neared the table, giving someone a surprise hug—that someone being... 'Her big brother?'
Across the table was a familiar face for Sylvester as well, nodding towards Syndra as a gesture of acknowledging her presence. He wasn't going to be so rude as to interrupt her dating session, however, just to say 'hi', or to give a hug. Not that he was the type to hug much anyway, nor that she would want one. He'd leave the hugging up to the little girl. "Yeah, we need your blessing to get married." It was so awkward just saying it, let alone the negative attention that may well follow suit with such a statement. Even if, for the most part, Sylvester was voicing this with a blatantly sarcastic tone.
'What am I getting myself into?' He could just feel the eyes staring at him, standing over the petite girl by such an extent that it just made him feel as though he stuck out in the crowd. 'I'll just shut up for the time being...'
