She should have never have let that stupid gay overly nice man talk her into this. By talk she meant write her name on whatever that piece of paper was for. Now she was stuck being directed into a separate room from the rest of the ball. The female reluctantly went along with it until she had realized the purpose of the entire thing. By then it had been too late and she had been sat down at one of the tables. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed the other victim of Evan's latest scheme in the same room. The female sighed at this as she watched him. At the least with Noah in the room it was either going to turn out entertaining or... well crazy was probably the best word.
Syndra had not been paired with Noah though thankfully as she noted the male was at another table. Taking the time she had the female adjusted the dragonair mask that rested on the upper half of her face. Spheal had followed his trainer into the room and cooed in a sort of moral support for the female. Although single she was not used to the whole dating scene or aspect so this was definitely out of her comfort zone. More so than the entire ball had been. The trainer smiled down to her pokemon as a thank you then looked up to see who she got paired with for round one. "Least I can't say this won't be interesting..."
she had originally thought this shit was all kinds of ridiculous.
but now.
huh.
wow.
this dude was alarmingly attractive. it was as though every feature was something her mind and body took an instant liking to. from his prominent scarring, to his messy locks of crimson, to even his cerulean eyes that matched her own. she sat, adjusting her black gown and smoothing away a few crinkles before returning her focus to the handsome male.
"whoa," she breathed. "yer hot. but i bet ya already know that. don't ya, stud?"
a crooked smile formed as she declared her approval.
"sniv."
the pokemon had a miniature wine glass in his leafy appendage, taking the occasional sip as the seconds passed.

THESE ARE THE DAYS
WHEN I HATE THE WORLD
HATE THE RICH, HATE THE HAPPY, HATE THE COMPLACENT. TV WATCHERS, BEER DRINKERS, THE SATISFIED ONES. BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN BE ALL THOSE LITTLE HATEFUL THINGS AND THEN I HATE MYSELF FOR REALIZING THAT. BE SAFE, BE SAFE.
Darius definitely didn't want to do this, not one fucking bit, he thought this was all some mandatory bullshit to get into the fucking "Gala" the fuck is a Gala anyway? Didn't go to any these fucking parties going on the streets, but look where the fuck he was now. Fuck the system, poor people can get places too it seems, he just hoped the first person he saw wasn't the ugly mother f- Ooh look at this girl, she's definitely a hottie.
Darius instantly took a liking to her figure, she was short, he liked short, wore a lot of black, black was definitely one of his favorite colors, and there eye's matched perfectly. "Damn." He muttered out loud. His mouth formed into the usual malicious grin and he took another moment to absorb the way this girl looked.
"You're pretty fucking hot yourself, ya know." He replied with a nod, he fixed his posture and cracked his knuckles, turned out this was going to be a lot of fun. He wanted to take the charge, it's just how he was so, he introduce himself. "My name's Darius, Darius Valentine, and it's definitely a pleasure to meet you." He said with a wink.
His Gabite stood to his side, crossing her arms with a grunt, she did not want to be here, she wanted to be outside training and kicking Magma and Aqua ass. "Gabite." She said disapprovingly to the entire situation.
"pleasure ta make yer acquaintance, darius," she purred.
these three minutes weren't gonna be so bad after all.
might as well take advantage while she could.
"name's andrea. andrea warren, yeah?"
andrea's tongue flickered out, traveling across her already moistened lips. such a small action signified her hunger, and the girl's eyes took on a predatory glint. after taking the time to eye his lean figure, she briefly wondered what rested underneath the material of his formal wear.
"so, uh..."
she glanced at the clock.
they had time.
"wanna make out?"
"sn...ivy?"
snivy looked to the large dragon-type pokemon. she was actually quite pretty. he hesitantly approached her, grinning and politely complimenting the female on her fearsome appearance.

It wasn't like Sylvester to get caught up in these sort of things, but here he was being escorted into one of the speed dating rooms along with the other participants. Having Marley by his side, they proceeded towards the table and sat down, the Sylveon hopping up and onto Sylvester's lap so that he could peer over towards the other side of the table. Soon enough his random match would be present for some...well, 'speed dating'.
'What is that, anyway...' The concept was relatively new to him, though by the looks of it they were randomly given a suitor that matched their preferences. After that, it was up to the pairing to converse and get along—which was not guaranteed. "What could possibly go wrong..." The way he spoke, it wasn't even a question. It was mostly his way of accepting that something could and would go wrong if he didn't help it.
Taking the Sylveon mask off his face, Sylvester also checked to make sure his tie was neat and straight, along with the rest of his blacked-out attire. While he wasn't expecting to actually get along that well, Sylvester certainly still wanted to make a good presentation to his...'speed dating partner'?

Darius's grin grew even wider, his eyes had a small glint coming off it, he had the eyes of a hunter currently, and he took quite a bit liking to the prey insight.
"The pleasure is all mine Andrea." He said standing up, moving closer to the coordinator. His eyes were completely locked onto hers. He wondered what she was hiding underneath her gown, and how fast he'd be able to get it off her when he got his first chance to. He could imagine the sight, for now anyway. He saw her eyes move to the clock and he snickered a bit. "Don't worry hun, there's plenty of time for us." He whispered to her a bit seductively.
Darius didn't give her an answer back, he simply moved in for the kiss taking the lead. This was turning out a lot better than he expected.
Gabite on the other hand looked towards the small grass type starter. "Ga?" She muttered tilting her head, the Pokémon was tiny compared to her, but she didn't mind size it be better then their trainers who were currently ignoring them for each other. "Gabite!" She roared and smiled a toothy grin accepting the compliment. "Bite." She said in return complimenting the Snivy's cute outfit.
[attr="class","pv00"]He hated this situation completely. It was bad enough he had been dragged out on what could have been a quiet night to some grand gala of an event to flock with crowds of people he wanted nothing to do with. At best Evan would be happy, but even so he could have been doing something entirely different -- something that didn’t open doors to conversation with people he could easily say he hated by default. But it wasn’t the gala itself that had upset him. No, it had been the event Evan so eagerly signed them both up for: speed dating, of all things.
This was the last thing he wanted, only finding out when it was too late to leave -- and once he was ushered into his room (one, mind you, that had not been the same as his friend) there was no turning back. He guessed if he had enough he could simply walk out. What could they possibly do to him if he just decided to ditch this whole thing and return to town with some sense of peace. For the most part things were calm, having forgotten his dates’ name by the time he was situated to a table, knowing that surely it would come up again in idle chit chat.
It’s not until he hears another woman from the room ask for a request from her own date that Noah turns in his seat, eyes narrowed at the two -- and for a second he catches Syndra seated at another, ignored for the most part in his mind. “No!” he shouted, and really his tone of voice and volume wasn’t second-guessed in the least. “Can you two not go at it in this room? It’s bad enough we’re all stuck here together, so how about you don’t make it worse and stop asking to shove your tongue down his throat.” It was bad enough he had to deal with “dating” some random stranger but he surely wasn’t going to sit around watching two people attempt to hook up for the night with some shitty, half assed make out session.
Bunny found her table quickly enough, shuffling in with a slightly embarrassed look on her face. She had hoped this would help her open up a little, and who didn't like dates? Personally, she loved them — but that was when she knew who she was dating.
Except she recognized the person at her table. As Bunny sat down, she breathed a sigh of relief. Diana slid into her lap as the coordinator slid off her Buneary mask, placing it on the table. Sylvester had been in her Cave Exploration group.
"Well, it's nice to see another friendly face" she smiled at him, fixing her hair a little. "I'm Bunny, in case you've forgotten. We met in the caves of Petalburg I think?"
But before she could get an answer, Bunny gasped. His little Eevee had evolved! "Oh my gosh, is that a Sylveon? It's lovely!" she found herself nearly squealing. "I've always loved Sylveon. They originated in Kalos, you know!"
"oh, baby," she drawled, releasing a noise akin to a purr.
just as the coordinator moved in closer to press her lips against his own, her eyes snapped wide open as she was abruptly interrupted.
"..."
her face morphed into one of absolute fury, and she immediately stood.
no one got in the way of her game.
no one.
"how 'bout ya stay the fuck over there ya lame ass bitch!" she shouted. "no one asked fer yer opinion! and, the last time i checked, no one really fucking cared for it."
she sat back down with an audible huff. eventually, her gaze shifted back to valentine. her wolfish look return, and her eyes sparkled with mischief and pure want.
"c'mere. let's get it goin', valentine."
andrea lunged across the table, pulled him close, and roughly pressed her lips against his. mostly she did it to piss off anyone who had a problem. nothin' in the rules prohibited displays of affection, after all.
It was not hard to overhear the other tables. One particular table was not giving the best of impressions for such a formal event. In her mind the mental images made her think that whatever conversation escalated way too quickly. She didn't have any desire to see who exactly was part whatever conversation that was so she remained looking away. Then there was sudden shock when she remembered that Noah was still in the same room. Her head cranked over to where the angry man sat and it wasn't surprising when she eventually heard the large booming 'no' coming in that direction. "Oh no..." she whispered to herself. Forcing herself to stay in her seat as directed and told, the female just eyed the action.
"Well I wasn't wrong... I didn't think it would happen so quickly," the female said to herself with a shrug and a sigh. It was truly unfortunate that Evan was in another room and couldn't handle the situation. Or even that Noah ended up in this same room. Or actually everything that was happening right now. This was becoming a train wreck fast. There was more yelling and curse words going. Once this happened Syndra had to force her hand against her leg to stop from getting up though she did survey to check if there were any other younger kids in the room. Didn't seem like it and Syndra knew better than to try to stop Noah so she didn't even try..
In the end point Syndra's face morphed into one of mild disgust as her eyes laid on the sight of the root of the problem making out. "I take it back. I hate Evan," she mumbled under her breath. If a fight actually did break out here it wouldn't end well.

Darius was inches away from success, till he heard a voice shouting at him, that pissed him off immensely, he instantly got a feeling, and not the kind of feeling he was getting with Andrea, this feeling was the kind to hurt people, he wanted to wrap his arms around the man's head and then slam his face into the floor as painfully as possible. He was about to say something, but he Andrea had exploded first. "Fiesty. . . I like that." He whispered to himself snickering again slightly. When she sat back down, Darius gave her a look of complete acceptance. "Hot." He said his grin remaining strong.
"You don't have to tell me twice Andrea." He said pulling her closer as she lunged towards him, pressing his lips against hers. He then lifted his middle finger towards Noah, taunting him severely. He completely pushed the man off his mind after that.
Gabite watched Andrea in awe, she was as badass as Darius and took a liking to her immediately. "Gabite!" She said telling the Snivy how badass her trainer was.
[attr="class","pv00"]This unnecessary horny bitch. He didn’t want to be here, he didn’t want anything to do with his date -- or dates, considering what this event was -- and nonetheless all he wanted to do was leave. There was a second he had thought his only way out would be to simply walk out, another where he considered just sticking it out until it got to a point where he couldn’t handle things anymore. But now, there was another thought. If all else failed he could just get kicked out of the speed dating room, maybe even shoved out completely from the gala itself. Lucky him.
“You dumb fucking bi-,” he hisses, glaring the woman down, his expression too clearly showcasing the amount of disgust and annoyance he was having. When the girl pulls her date into a kiss his words stop, not out of shock of the matter -- truthfully, with the way she had openly asked for it he wasn’t surprised at all -- but simply over how at a loss for words he was at his current point in life. In a room, stuck with a girl who would more then likely fuck a table if the thought came to her, with a guy who probably would do the same with how he reacted, alongside others who… actually never crossed his mind.
He couldn’t move from his table -- that was one of the rules they had set -- and with the way his chair was positioned he had a nice view of the disgusting display of affection the two were doing. “Great, it’s like watching rape…” he mutters, tapping his finger against the tables’ surface before his eyes caught sight of the vase seated at the center of it. Well. He wouldn’t be moving from his seat. It didn’t take much to grab the vase, nor had it taken much effort to throw it at their table.
Mindset: get kicked out. If a shard of that vase just so happened to cut one of them in the face then it really was his lucky day.

"Oh yeah, I do remember you! Nice to see you again, Bunny." For once in his life, the gods answered his prayers. Sylvester was hoping for someone he could at least relate to. Even if just barely. And I didn't know that, but maybe me and Marley will have to visit Kalos sometime in the future." It was interesting how much she knew about his Sylveon, his pokemon's ears raising up as the girl mentioned something about him. "Syl!" The pokemon hopped up onto the table, walking over to the girl's side and laying down on his side. The ribbons on his ears moved about in the air, as if gesturing for her to give him some form of attention.
"So, what have you been up to-" Suddenly an outburst of yelling could be heard throughout the room. 'Oh come on, the event just barely started.' It was a very unfortunate turn of events. Trying to ignore it, Sylvester simply spared his thoughts on the matter to the only ones before him to hear, being Bunny and her pokemon. "It figures something like this would happen...I don't get it, though. What's the point of it all? It's as if all anyone can think about anymore is fighting, with pokemon or otherwise." Allowing Bunny to speak now, he listened to the events in the other sections of the room. If an actual fight did break out...well, that was best saved for when it did...
when they had signed up for this dating event, nori had said no straight away. it was an event that would lead to disaster on his part and he would end up embarrassing himself more than anything. what he had not expected was walking into the room with screaming and people making out over the table. nori paused and turned right back out the door. however the people at the event ushered him back inside before he could get two words out. why was this happening? why did he have to come on this journey with his sister? why couldn't he just say no? "this is nothing like the yule ball at hogwarts..."
nori went to sit at the table, obviously looking uncomfortable and out of place there. he actively tried to ignore the two people making out on the table and the random brunette screaming at them. he didn't want to look at no one. instead he kept his gaze down on the table and counted the minutes until he could get out of this room. he wanted to text his sister to come get him and take him back home but he refrained himself. she looked excited when she had left to go into her own room and he didn't want to ruin her fun. nori sighed and continued looking down at the table only glancing up briefly to see if his "date" was nearby.
DIANA is sitting pretty - -
