[ORP] Deck the Halls [Trainers]

[BlackFireKitsune]

[Rosie]

Sera perked up at the mention of a party. "Oh! I'd love to come!" It would be so much better than sitting around in that dingy, dreary, unbearably tiny apartment.

-----

[Vahy'n, Mairu, Kururi]

Isabella didn't look the least impressed with their explanations, nor at their desire to come home with them (not that she'd trust them anyway, being fellow dark-types that she didn't know personally), but as Vahy'n was handling them the Absol refrained from interrupting. She didn't like to deal with childish pokemon, and the Vaporeon had already lowered herself onto the floor to be at an even level with them anyway. Isabella, however, pointedly remained sitting as she had been.  

[Tori Honoo]

[Izaya, Yuri]

Lovey, when she realized the chingling was only circling to return to its owner, padded back to Dove's side, sitting at her feet and yawning openly. Why wasn't there anything to do now? She had at least thought that the silly bell pokemon would have been fun to follow, considering how chipper it had sounded...

She stared blankly into space, watching the humans dance and chatter with one another, then flipped an ear as the man asked who the jigglypuff belonged to. She narrowed her eyes at it, still thoroughly confused by its strange form, then shook her head. her trainer would be upset with her if she wandered off, a note that she had forgotten when she decided to go along after Delic. After all, they didn't really know many people there...

When the Chingling finally noticed her, however, Lovey's ears perked, attention immediately on it. Softly, she yipped back with a wag of her tail. Maybe he would be interesting! She jumped up a few times, pawing the air excitedly. "Eve! Eev!"

Dove sighed frustratedly and tucked a long curl back behind her ear. Arguing with Izaya was getting her nowhere and she knew in the back of her mind if she continued it would just come back to haunt her later on. She'd never win, though she reasoned to herself there was really nothing to win from this man at the moment. He had nothing she wanted or needed.

A softer, deeper voice in the back of her mind noted that she needed to step away and let him win this round. Not even in more comfortable company would her boyfriend have let her linger around this man so long, or react to everything he said so severely. Smiling a little half-heartedly at Yuri's smirk, she took a deep breath and began to turn away, deciding just to ignore Orihara's presence as best as possible from this point on, at least, during this party.

She did, however, draw back as he leapt forward and threw his arms around Yuri. After a quick glance around the room, she frowned at the informant's back; though formally dressed, the party didn't seem half as formal as she had expected, though why she had expected things to be the way she remembered she had no idea. This place was far from what she considered home...

And oh, did she miss home.  

[BlackPidgeot]

[Izaya]

Yuri's eyes went wide as Izaya threw himself at him, the man trying to sidestep but wasn't quite successful. His grip tightened on the glasses, making them crunch a little under the pressure. It was certainly an awkward looking scene with Yuri as stiff as a board and looking quite annoyed with the other guy hanging onto him.

"Ngh, fine I won't tell you. Now get the hell off of me. I'm not in the market for a boyfriend."

Yuri could take a lot, but this was definitely pushing his limits. Repede even growled in annoyance at the harassment of his partner. A warning to be sure, if Izaya didn't back off.  

[lZAYA ORlHARA]

[Dove, Yuri]

Yuri's response drew a laugh from the informant. "So cold! Who said anything about boyfriends?" he teased. "It was just a hug. But if you feel that way about me, you only need say so." Before pulling away from the long-haired young man, Izaya cast his pokemon a wicked grin over Yuri's shoulder. Arceus, he hated pokemon. If only he could have stuck out a foot and kicked the mutt without notice, he would have.

On the other hand, it seemed Tori as successfully being driven away by his antics. That was a plus. She had no reply to offer in response to his previous statement, so he took that as a sign she had accepted her place. Hopefully she would continue to stay out of his way.

[Lovey]
the Chingling called flirtatiously to Dove's Eevee from his perch. He beamed.

[Vahy'n, Isabella]
The more talkative of the two Purrloin hesitated before responding. will worry,> Mairu attempted to clarify, though it seemed she was telling herself this as much as she was Vahy'n. She absently raised a paw to bat at Isabella's bells.

While Mairu seemed far from lady-like, Kururi in her silence seemed to take the beautiful Vaporeon's words to heart. (He hates us)...> she whispered weakly, bowing her head in shame and sorrow.

her sister added.

[Tori Honoo]

[Izaya, Yuri]

Dove shook her head, silently applauding Repede for his growl before she looked to Lovey. "Come on, Lovey, let's--"

she yipped back, interrupting her trainer.

She sat at her trainer's heels, tipping her head as she spoke with the Chingling. she asked curiously, her ear flicking once.  

[lZAYA ORlHARA]

[Lovey]

The Chingling shook with laughter, his bell ringing like the chimes of a little girl's fantasy. Delic answered with a wink. He hopped off Izaya's shoulder and slid down his trainer's arm like a fire pole - a fire pole that shook him off as he reached the end of it.

But the Chingling didn't seem to mind. He simply used the momentum of the gesture to launch himself into the air, gently drifting down with his psychic levitation until he was on the ground with the Eevee.

He beamed at her. the pokemon told her, blowing her a kiss. It seemed a little silly coming from such a stubby-armed pokemon, but it didn't seem to hinder Delic at all. he theorized.

the Chingling went on to explain.
