[ORP] All Aboard the SS Party! [Open!]

[Blood_Goddess]

An amused look crossed the Sylvreon's features as he continued to try and keep her ribbons mostly under his control, though eventually gave up.

Glancing once more to the ribbons that showed their markings his gaze became quite saddened
He bent a knee, lifting a paw up that rattled lightly from the jewelry

Vahy'n bowed her head lightly, though turned to look at the newcomer as well, delighted to see another Sylveon on board and unable to help a small laugh at how excited she seemed that there was another of her type to interact with.

Still at his post by the railing, Yuri glanced at the girl in the green dress who appeared just some feet away. Huh. He then did a doubletake and blinked. When Rosie walked up to her, Yuri looked away again and to where Dove was. Watching as she left her group that now included Ray and looked a bit uncomfortable wandering around alone.

Yuri stood fully again and crossed the deck to walk up to Dove.

"Hey, thought that guy was going to take off with you for the rest of the night."  

[insidiousEnigma]

"Not at all, I just have a very good memory." Andre said lightly as he switched his glass to his other hand. "My name is Andre." He bowed his head again before taking a sip from his drink. His attention flickered over to the blonde as he introduced himself, he knew the blonde wasn't fond of Zacharie being brought up but at least he was smart enough not to actually comment on it. "It's a rather delicate situation that I'm handling with all of my considerable resources." He said simply, averting his attention. He didn't want to think about it, not now. He could already feel his head starting to ache and his mood dropping. "Hm...?" He looked down to Dove as she lightly touched his arm. "Ah, alright. It's been a pleasure talking to you, we'll definitely need to chat again." He smiled as he leaned down to kiss both of her cheeks in farewell.  

[Tori Honoo]

Dove blinked a little, then turned to look over her shoulder at the familiar voice, turning fully as Yuri drew closer and reaching up to tuck back a stray curl. "Who, Andre?" she asked, referring to the man she knew he spoke of. "As charming as he is... I guess he wasn't exactly successful..."

Why was it getting harder to talk to him...? Oh wait. With every tick of the clock, her guilt furthered. That was why.

Strengthening the wall holding her emotions at bay, she looked up at him. "You're okay, still...?" she asked, unclipping the cowl from her neck and unfolding it slowly, much to Trill's displeasure.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Jasmine sat on the deck carefully, her tail curled around her paws as she surveyed the deck with dark blue eyes, her gaze critical. Well, so far this looked up to her standards - which, she couldn't help but realize with some disdain, had lowered quite a bit since her mistress's financial downfall - and she couldn't help but wonder if they had any caviar. Hmm. She would have to demand some at some point.

Sera made a noise at Ray's and Dith's conversation, but rather than comment further, she joined the rest up on deck and glanced around to try and ascertain the location of things; namely, the drinks. Specifically alcoholic drinks. Now where... ah, there it was. That was good to know. Rather than go to it now, the brunette instead followed Rosie's lead and released a couple more of her pokemon - Giselle, Isabella, and Jacques, though the latter two moved to isolate themselves while the Mismagius disappeared to enjoy the party undisturbed - before she stepped over to her best friend's side. She didn't particularly care to be around any of these random strangers, and why would she?

Anastasia trotted over and sat near Vahy'n, preferring to sit near the elder Vaporon she knew rather than by herself or with all strangers. Not that she wasn't eager to meet anyone new - quite the opposite, in fact, she was rather excited. Her tall ears perked up as she looked at the various pokemon gathering, her blue eyes bright and full of curiosity, and her heart-shaped markings casting a soft pink glow on the deck where she sat. she greeted them first since she knew them, then turned to look at the Sylveon and Eevee she didn't know.  

[BlackPidgeot]

"So that's his name. Huh."

Atleast now Yuri was able to put a name to that face.

"Yeah I guess not," he said with a smirk.

Though when she asked if he was okay, Yuri quickly brushed it off. "Yeah, no problems here."

He then offered his arm to Dove and in a mockingly gentlemen like voice he spoke. "It is a pleasure to see you again Miss Dove. May I escort you to the refreshments?"

Repede groaned at their feet.

"Hey, atleast I'm not walking around with a bow tie and a pipe."

The Growlithe huffed and tilted the pipe in his mouth indignantly.  

[Akira Midoriyama]

The girl glanced over at the sound of the familiar voice, instinctively going rigid but exhaling slowly and forcing a small smile to her face. "Oh! I'm sorry, I...I didn't hear you come by," she apologized. "You're...Rosie, right? Have you...traveled by boat often?"

Her face remained turned toward the water after a brief glance at the blonde young woman. She might have avoided naming her altogether to disassociate as much as possible, but at this rate she thought it was better to acknowledge she knew her rather than to have Rosie think about it for too long and guess. She feared she might put the wrong name to the right face.  

[insidiousEnigma]

Tepsichore gasped in delight at the mention of them being friends. She gushed, leaning forward to nuzzle against him. Gosh, making friends sure was great! This was going so much more smoothly than trying to befriend her human's other pokemon. They were more grumpy than Connie! He ribbons drooped a little bit but she quickly shook her head and smiled, She didn't like dwelling on the past. She quoted, trying to mimic Andre's voice.  

[Blood_Goddess]

"Andre!" She repeated pointing a finger at him "Andre, and Vinny." pointing once again at Andre then to Vincent. "Yeah no kidding you've got a good memory." She chuckled lowering her hand.

Eyebrows arching lightly as she looked from Andre, who spoke rather reluctantly on his brother, giving a nod but otherwise allowing the conversation to die.

A wide smirk snapped back onto her lips as she looked back over to Vincent "AH yeah you think?" she laughed "guess you could say that,- fare enough though right? for one that makes a living out of roughing it" a mossy green eye winked at him and she lifted her drink "I've got some war stories."

Dove didn't seem to want to stick around, and excused herself. "Hey Hey hey, Tell Yuri I'll catch him later." She said, waving a hand to Dove and winking at her as she left.  

[Tori Honoo]

Lovey and her kit watched the others contently, though she shook her head fondly a little at Vahy'n's polite response. Celtic... there was one name...Kiss Kiss she knew...Tepsichore, that was different, and very interesting...

When the heart marked Umbreon joined them, Lovey smiled, about to introduce herself and her daughter until the younger eevee spoke up. she told her excitedly, looking up at the other eeveelutions and the familiar Raichu.  

[Tori Honoo]

Dove nodded, looking over her shoulder as Ray called out to her, nodding quietly, then looking up to Yuri to see if he had heard it himself.

"Yes, at least, that's what he told me. He was with us that day we went into the desert..." she explained. They had both been so quiet that day...

She had expected him to brush off her concern--as always-- and shook her head , her tone serious. "You know we don't have to stay the whole time..." she reminded him, reaching over to brush a fuzz off of his suit coat. "I know you're not all that fond of the dress code, too..."

When he offered his arm, she blinked as if confused, then laughed before slipping into her polite and proper persona. "You may if you so desire..." she grinned, draping the fur over her arm. "Just let me get out of this coat... I think the fur will do..."

Carefully, she unfastened the coat and let it slide drop to her elbows, revealing the glittering jewels that made up the high neck and chest of her dress. The multi faceted pieces stopped just at the bustline, accents to the deep, shimmering, sophisticated, midnight purple gown tailored to her form. Though fitted about her waist and hips, the dress fluttered freely about her ankles, and though at a first glance she might have felt overdressed, she decided not to care for the evening. Given her circumstances, she was determined to go out in style in the most elegant way possible, especially at the start of a new year.

Her coat successfully taken off and her shoulders shivering the slightest bit in the freezing winter air,she again unfolded the fur piece and draped it around her shoulders, clipping it again as it was to be when worn as a wrap. That done, she slipped her arm through Yuri's, looking for a refreshment table and somewhere to place her coat.  

[Venti Mico]

Vincent took another sip of his drink and was glad the subject of Zacharie had dropped. He rose a brow at 'war stories'. "Now, I might not be th' best at story telling, but I don't mind exchangin' a few a'mine for a few a'yours. Y'got that look about ya', like you know how to have fun!"

He always liked to brag about his own experiences. It wasn't hard to start, plenty of people got curious about the scars on his face and those were the ones he never minded talking about.

With a quick glance around, Vincent saw quite a few Pokemon had been let out. He was reluctant to release his own Eevee, a part of him feared the little guy would somehow go overboard and Vincent would never see him again. But.. Tepischore was out and about, so Vincent reached into his pocket and released The Consul. "You go an' find Teppy, got it? Stay outta trouble," Vincent told The Consul(affectionately dubbed 'Connie'), leaning over to give him a quick pat of the head. The Eevee gave his trainer a dirty look, then quickly trotted off to find Tepishchore.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Another Sylveon moved to join the group, inserting herself next to Celtic. she greeted cheerfully, reaching a ribbon up to tip her small, white tophat in a polite greeting to all the pokemon assembled. The good thing about her accessories were that they were always formal, from her white hat down to her white cuffs. This said specifically to Celtic, who she aimed an amused look at, since he seemed rather caught up in another Sylveon's ribbons.

The blue Eevee's words caught Anastasia's attention, and she offered a warm, slightly amused smile to her. At a glance, neither seemed to have many hearts at all - just one each, as far as she could tell, and small ones - but the sentiment remained. she affirmed, dipping her muzzle down a bit in a small nod, her ears perked still as she watched the normal-type. She couldn't help but wonder how young the Eevee was, given her words and her proximity to the more normal-colored Eevee she'd called her mother. Probably not more than a couple of weeks, surely.  

[Blood_Goddess]

"Oh- I didn't mean to startle you I'm sorry, I was just over there." she pointed a finger to where she had been standing when she had seen the girl walk over.

A soft smile, pleasantly surprised and curious feathered the corners of her lips when the girl spoke her name. "Thats right, I'm Rosie. And this is Luke and Sera." She said, making a gesture to her friends.
"I kow I've seen you somewhere before, I'm sorry I can't remember you're name." She replied apologetically.

"Quite often yes, Its really the only way to travel if you're going off island. I used to go to Johto a lot growing up. What about you?"  

[Blood_Goddess]

"You can't really expect to be a hard working and not knowing how to play hard too!" a laugh followed putting her fist on a hip "Alright then, you're on, some drinking stories then?"

There was a pause though, as the man let out a pokemon, Ray's eyes lit up as she saw the Eevee, and a wide smirk spread over her lips as she lifted her glass to them, letting out a laugh at the look it gave its trainer and then sped off.
"You a trainer then?"
