(Crewel??) A short chubby man with dark skin and short dark hair pokes his head in through the doorway. He smiles sheepishly as he knocks on the doorframe. "Hello...? Sorry to barge in, but something smelled really really good." His eyes settle on the cake and he brightens up, smiling a little more. "Oh, hey! Is it someone's birthday today?? Happy birthday! If I'd have known, I would've brought something to share." His gaze moves on to the inhabitants of the little house, lingering on the tallest of them for far too long. He seems awed by their height and appearance; maybe even a little smitten.

The tallest, "Sharon", looks right back at the stranger and seems to gradually become... more flustered... each second in which the man's eyes are on them, until they have to look away. They cover their mouth with a towel.

The redhead intrudes, clueless or perhaps casual about his friend's reaction. "Sharon" leaves the scene briefly.

The business looking man yaps on. He seems to know well who he's talking about, or maybe he's just too confident about everything and anything ever. "Sharon" subtly shoots a glare at him but sighs and adds: "It's true... my son doesn't quite like birthdays..."

"He doesn't like anything at all, actually." A witty reply escapes the younger man's mouth.

Then they return, with a shawl around their nose. They politely display a plate to their guest.

The devil comes right back for their favorite partner for conversation – Diable approaches Crewel at the food tables and leans over to approciate the smell and take in the sight of the puppet: "Crewel." Less of a surprised tone, more of a way to capture his attention, "I recall you and I never got that dance we promised, long ago. A promise heartbreakingly forgotten - but to make up for it..."

"You've been away from home a long time, and that I know ‐ but if I could keep you a bit longer, could I convince you to let me spend the evening with you, feasting over this festive meal, 'till our time with the Magi?"

( @hoodies-monster-ranch Bones @ Crewel )

“Wow you’re a cool looking monster, I love your tattoos! My question is have you thought of changing your shape? Making yourself look like other monsters?”

Crewel smiles but his brows furrow, looking a little confused.

"I... Thank you? Calling me a monster sounds a little harsh... But I can't really change my shape anyway. I don't think so, at least-- I'm not a Ditto. Maybe I could sew myself a new plush body, but I'm not sure how I would go about inhabiting it. It sounds like it'd be painful, and I'm not about that. Besides, I like my body the way it is."

[crewel-intentions]

Piko@Crewel: "Nice tattoos," if they were tattoos or not was not her main point of interest. “Uh. So, do you by chance battle, if so have there been any stand-outs?” Again. Back to fighting with her. Not exactly making the best impression. "I-I'm bad at this."

Crewel smiles at first, happy for the compliment, but it falters and fades as the Weavile continues with their question. He looks troubled, his fingers digging into his arm as he holds it close to himself.

"I... I don't battle anymore," he said softer than intended. Realizing his change in tone, he tries to clear his throat and correct himself. His eyes are still distant and troubled, but at least he's no longer mumbling.

"I've been through a lot of battles, and there have been quite a few that have stood out, but... probably not in the way you're thinking. My trainer and I didn't battle for fun, we battled to have power and get what we wanted or to eliminate others who were in our way."

He looks down at his tattoos, holding up his arm to show them off.

"I specifically gave myself these tattoos to remember the more significant battles, kind of as a way to way to... Well, to repent, I guess."

He chuckles and gives a weak smile, trying to clear the somber awkward mood. "Sorry, that probably wasn't the answer you were hoping for-- Long story short, I'm not much of a battler anymore, and you probably don't wanna hear my battle stories. There's not a lot of glory in them..."

Capital looked Snakebite up and down. The Cleffa immitated them. "I know that uniform," Capital said - not angrily, but rather smiling, maybe even slightly amused. "I have to ask, what are you 'up to'? Are you here to enjoy the festivities?" They asked, looking at the tables full of food, before continuing: "Or are you here to meet the Magi? Or something else, even."

Shinji approaches the feasting whimsicott with a smile.

Whoa there, save some for the rest of us hehe. Are you here with anyone? What's your name?

The whimsicott puts down his bone and takes the peach from Crewel. He wastes no time chowing down into it next.

[ @ask-a-silvy ] Shauna @Crewel: She eyed the Banette with curiosity, tilting her head some and shuffling about, before she would write her greeting.

[Your tattoos are so pretty. Say, what's your favorite food?]

Crewel, currently lounging with an armful of food himself, snorts a little. He takes a moment to turn his arm this way and that so that the other can get a full view of his embroidered tattoos.

"Heh, thank you. As for my favorite food, that'd have to be peaches," he says, looking at his food haul. It consisted mainly of berries and fruits, with at least half of them being the aforementioned fruit.

He grabs one and holds it out to Shauna, offering her a peach. "Want one?"

( @crewel-intentions ) (Crewel to ???) Crewel waddles up to the new guest, his tiny tail waggling quickly. He's holding his hands together, fidgeting a little, excited but a little nervous.

"Diable, buddy, is that you? You look... different. Not that different is a bad thing! It's like a good different! You look a lot more regal and fancy now. It's a good look!"

He continues on, half-rambling and half-gushing as he grins.

Diable: "And your way with flattery hasn't gotten any older either..."

Huh? What was that passing name I heard? "Diable" seems to be the name of the stranger!

[crewel-intentions]

(Crewel to Slime Boi) The Banette plops down on the sand beside the Goomy, leaning back on his hands as he relaxes. After a moment, he looks over at the Goomy. "I've been seeing you around this party for a bit now, and I gotta say, I really dig your vibes. I know it took me a bit to learn how to chill out, so I wanted to ask: how did you end up so chill? Did something happen?"

Slime Boi: I've always been a pretty chill guy. That's just how it is. Of course, I can get serious when I need to. Everyone does at times. But my constant state of being is chill. That's just how it be, you get me?

[crewel-intentions]

(SB to Nat) Snakebite grabs Nat under their arm, grinding their knuckles into his hair in a noogie as they grin. "Hey, short stuff. It's been a while since I've seen you. I didn't take you for the party type. You clean up real nice."

[Nat makes a noise akin to choking, his hands reaching up to try and pull the arm around him away just a bit to no avail. He wasn't in serious trouble at least, wincing slightly at the knuckles being pressed against his head. His earlier endeavors in the night left his face with a perpetual red tint, which wasn't being helped by this situation. ]

It's a family party sort of-I can do those! I'm not big on parties but I try to go if I'm invited--

[He eventually relaxes in the position he's in, putting up a fight was only going to tire him out.]

Thanks though.

[crewel-intentions]

(Crewel to Agatha) The Banette grins up at the Darkrai before giving her a little nudge with his elbow. "I saw that Deerling-eyed look~ Are you thinkin' of a special someone from your past? Or lookin' to meet someone new?"

An awkward pause.

"I don't know, I have a good feeling about this one." She offers a small smile and blushes a little.

* @ask-the-golden-goo Slime Boi slid up to Crewel, enamoured by the tattoos shown.*

Slime Boi: Yo yo yo! How's it hanging? How's the vibe? I gotta say, those tattoos are a work of art! Like damn, they've got such a rad vibe to them that I just love! What's the dealio with them? I mean, I've always had the idea that a tattoo would be sick to have. What would you recommend for someone like me?

(@masked-vee) Mouse was just grabbing all the food that could fit on their plate, after watching Snakebite and her buddy do the same thing. "Mouse! Limit yourself! You just recovered from a tummy ache after overeating." Grey scolded his friend as he grabbed the tiny Eevee's hood. He then waved to Snakebite and Crewel. "Sorry, my friend's eyes are bigger than their stomach." "Stitches and T are still teaching them portion control. Old habits die hard, I guess." Elizabeth mumbled.

Snakebite watched Mouse with a smirk of camaraderie, snickering a little to themself. They always approved of a little gluttony and chaos, after all.

Crewel was as placid as ever, chuckling in amusement as well at the younger mon's antics.

"Hey, don't worry about it. There's plenty for everyone. You're supposed to feast and relax at parties, yeah?"

As he registered what Elizabeth mumbled, his smile faded into concern. He looked between the members of the little group, searching their expressions.

"Is... Is everything okay? Do you guys not usually have food?" he frowned. "I don't wanna pry too much, but if you guys need food, take as much as you need," he said, gesturing at the tables.

(@askthewhiterocket) "Oh, Crewel!" Kyo calls out to the Banette as she approaches. "Fancy seeing you here. Are Yuko and Lance around or is it just you here tonight?"

Crewel grinned a little wider as Kyo drew closer.

"Oh, hey. it's been a while, huh?"

He took a moment to pop a bit of fruit into his mouth, chewing happily and swallowing before answering.

"It's just me here tonight. I wanted a little bit of space and fun before heading home."

Crewel looks a little worried for a moment.

"Why'd you mention Lance? Has he been around lately...?"

AskTheWhiteRocket RP - Part 2

( Continued from HERE )

Snakebite hummed, tilting their head to the side as they listened to Kyo.

"That's a shame; it's not even that difficult as far as names go. You shouldn't have had to change it. They should've just tried harder."

They give Kyo's hand a light, reassuring squeeze before lowering it and relinquishing their hold.

An easy smile returns to their face as the conversation turns back to them, the corners of their mouth curling. They take just a moment to grab their drink and take a long sip before answering, letting Kyo's question linger in the air.

"I got the nickname back on Akala when I first joined Team Skull. I didn't want to give em my real name at first-- it's not very intimidating-- and they needed something to call me, so they just called me "snakebites" and the name stuck. It was a sick-ass name, so I've kinda just been trying to live up to it," they chuckle. "I even ended up getting a few snake Pokemon to complete the look."

( @divine--theatre ) Despite being in a rush, it's not too difficult to spot such bright pink hair. Soven interrupts his run to go up to Snakebite. He made a gesture to Snakebite, a recognizable wave, then an attempt at tapping his feet in morse code and chirping since he knew he couldn't speak a language she'd understand; he tried to communicate something along the lines of "Snakebite, hi! I didn't expect to see you here! How's everything at home? Your mom's business?" He was polite enough to try and ask, but he clearly looked like he was eagerly expecting something.

[There's a click and a whoosh as one of the Pokeballs in Snakebite's pockets bursts open]

[It seems like Pitaya and Soven know each other]
