Donovan shrugs, and gives Ashe a smirk. "Hopefully nothing crazy happens this time. I'd like a normal trip to a place without something going down for once, ya know?" His arms still tingle agter the Area Zero incident.

Flannery smirks as Willow begins to fidget, and takes a sip of tea.

Donovan listens to Leon, nodding along to his plan to challenge Kanto after the Johto league, giving a smirk. "Well, the new additions I've got aren't gonna make it wasy for you, Leon. I know Jawbreaker has been itching at the chance to fight your team." He'll keep his latest addition a secret, out of this world, one might say.

Once the topic went back to his other job, he takes a swig of his whiskey. "From what Ultron could dig up about the guy, he's got a personal vendetta against them. Apparently he's called a 'Daywalker'? Gotta look that term up. Don't know what that means." He scratches his chin, thinking about the man kn question. "There's a rumor that he's half vampire, but those are unconfirmed."

By this point, Eri is confused at Willows fidgeting. And looks to her parents for permission to go play with her. "Go on, Sweetpeat. And take papa's Golisopod with you."

Donovan nods at Ashe as the kids run off. "Agreed. Hopefully the baby comes before then. Flannery is getting cranky, and Eri is excited to meet her little sibling."

Donnie returns with a huff, stuffing his phone into his pocket. "Sorry about that. But yeah, all the Pokemon love Eri. Brutus sort of keeps his distance, but he was like that for me when I was little." He finishes what's left of his food, and cleans Eri's face. Picking up his family's plates, he heads into the kitchen to help clean up. Flannery giggles as Willow practically sits on Eri, who seems shy about the close contact. Donnie nods in agreement. "I'll be there. I might make it to Kalos if the expedition to the Sevii Islands doesn't take too long. Then there's also the League challenge this year..." He rubs his temple, sighing deeply. He sits back down, conjuring a flask of whiskey, taking a swig. "Looks like Blathers is getting a girlfriend soon. They grow up so fast...I remember when he used to faceplant into his food as a Rowlett." He clears his throat, turning to Leon. "But to answer your question from earlier, Vampire Hunters aren't exactly fairy tales, they've always been here in secret. Long story short, stuff happening elsewhere in the Multiverse is causing Mystic and unnatural beings to reawaken in other worlds, like ours. The Vampire Hunter I'm interested in recruiting is native to our world, and has a personal vendetta against them. From what Ultron has dug up about they guy isn't pretty and I won't go into it because of the girls." He thinks about Ashe's offer, and sighs. "That'll probably be good then. I mean, my dad took me on trips when I was her age. And all the Pokemon are protective of her, so she'll be pretty protected."

Ashe's eyes softened, smile still on her features. "Good t' see and glad t' hear." She went to sit back down after getting her fill of looking through the many photos, going back to her tea. Ashe rose her voice to speak to Donovan once he departed to the kitchen. "Sounds like it'll be a party then." She grinned. Leon turned his attention briefly to Donovan at the mention of a 'league challenge'. "Funny you should mention that..."

Cue Willow fidgeting just a bit.

Going onto explain how he had been wanting to go ahead and take the gym challenge, he explained how after Johto, he'd go straight to Kanto which would probably last him through not just the summer, but the fall as well. "... I don't plan on challenging the Elite Four again after my team and I fight the gym challenge -- feels like a moot point, but i'd at least like to make it in time for my team and I to fight you and your team. Feels like a long time coming."

That being said, a laugh escaped him about Blathers. "Celeste was always one to nestle in my hair. She also enjoyed preening it." However, Ashe and Leon both fell quiet as Donovan explained the vampire hunters. "... That actually makes a lot of sense." Ashe admitted. "Though this guy seems like a piece of work." She noted he wouldn't explain because of the girls.

Cue Willow fidgeting a lot.

"Go on and play." Ashe commented, eyeing her daughter to which Willow brightened and got up, pushing her chair in and offered her hand to Eri. "Let's go!"

As they left, Ashe turned back to Donovan. "Then it's settled. We'll see how the end of the month goes and head out as soon as possible in June."

I just found out one of my favorite AO3 authors of all time is a fucking neurosurgeon which was surprising initially just because I often forget AO3 writers are real people and not smut angels sent down from the heavens to make us feel alive, but in hindsight it makes perfect sense.

they are a fucking genius so. they just apply that genius to multiple fields.

Donovan is glad they share his feelings on Eri's previous living conditions. "I made sure her mother is rotting in a cell!" He says in a cheerful, singsong tone. He takes out his phone, and shows them photos and videos of their Pokemon meeting Eri for the first time. Kotaro laying on the ground, gently sniffing her. A video of Momo doing a little happy dance. A photo of Eri with Brutus in the background who's just...staring at the camera. And a photo of Jawbreaker just giving Eri a big ol' kiss....and the following photo with Eri and a serious cowlick. "Oh? I'll swing by later with Blathers, see how he likes the idea. He hasn't really been around other Decidueye other than his sister, so his courtship methods might be funny video material.." He was a bit bummed at them not having a solution for Kong. "Hm...I got some friends who are Rangers, I'll ask them if they know anyone.." He pauses to gently wipe Eri's face with a napkin, asking her if the food is good. "Yes, papa! Thank you Mr. Leon and Mrs. Ashe!" His interest is piqued when Ashe mentions work. "Oh? Catacombs in Kalos? That sounds interest-" He pauses mid sentence, one could see a buffering symbol floating above his head as his mind catches up to what she just said..... "R-Ruins? U-under the Ruins of Alph?" He takes a deep breath, and calmly stands up. "Excuse me for a second." He takes out his phone, stepping outside onto the porch. He's heard calling someone, and sounds annoyed. "Hhheeeeeyyyyy....So...was nobody going to tell me about there apparently being Ruins under the Ruins of Alph? I've searched that place, TOP to BOTTOM...for YEARS and found no trace of anything being underneath." A pause. "NO, that's not my email, I changed it years ago, remember? What do you mean, you sent me text messages? I haven't gotten a message from you in months!" Flannery looks both annoyed and amused at her husband's reaction, chuckling into her tea. "Sorry about that. I forgot he takes pride in his Expertise regarding the Ruins of Alph. Missing something THAT important is a huge blow to his pride. But as for your offer, I'm certain that he'd be more than okay with tagging along with you for both." Eri's eyes light up at the thought of seeing new places, and she bounces in her chair excitedly. "Can I go with Papa and Mrs. Ashe, Mama? Please? Pleeeeeaaaaasssseee?"

"Good." Ashe says firmly and quickly. With her now done, she can focus on getting everyone fresh drinks as well. Heading to and from the kitchen, she bursts out laughing at some of the pictures being shared and Donovan freaking out about the ruins under the ruins. "Sounds like she's been accepted full stop by your 'mons. Great to see." Taking the time to sit down and lean over to view Donnie's phone, she notes Leon going and taking his and Willow's plate as Willow gets up and instead heads to bother Eri by pressing against her so she can sit down beside her on the same chair.

"Willow." Ashe gives a warning to which Willow responds; "I'm only wanting to sit with Eri!" Ashe sighs and lets it pass for now, instead turning to answer Donovan's questions. "Then i'll expect you for the Ruins in July." For June, she'd plan to head to the Catacombs.

Leon jumped in to respond next; "Alright. Let me know so I can at least make Celeste aware." With that, he's seated, having opened up a can of alcohol for himself -- if only to loosen himself up a bit. "No problem, Flannery." Ashe responded with a smile. "He's always welcome too--" At Eri getting bouncing and asking excitedly, Willow gets pushed to her feet, blinking. "The kids'll like it." She points out. "Besides, gives them a bit of a history lesson to take in." Ashe points out.

Prompts from Ghostbusters (1984)

Lines of dialogue from the supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. Change as needed.

“Oh, this is big, [name]. This is very big.”

“[Name], somehow this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head. Do you remember that?”

“That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.”

“Back off, man! I'm a scientist!”

“You’re right, no human being would stack books like this.”

“Listen! You smell something?”

“[Name], I take back everything I ever said about you.”

“They wouldn't touch us with a three-meter cattle prod.”

“For whatever reason, [name], call it fate, call it luck, call it Karma. I believe that everything happens for a reason.”

“You didn’t even bargain with the guy!”

“I think this building should be condemned.”

“Are you troubled by strange noises in the night?”

“Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?”

“Have you or your family actually seen a spook, specter or ghost?”

“We’re ready to believe you!”

“Don’t stare at me, you got the bug eyes.”

“You're very handy, I can tell.”

“Print is dead.”

“Some people think I'm too intellectual, but I think reading is a fabulous way to spend your spare time.” 

“Do you have any hobbies?”

“I collect spores, molds, and fungus.”

“If something’s gonna happen here, I want it to happen to me first.”

“You know you don’t act like a scientist.”

“Well that’s great. Either I have a monster in my kitchen or I’m completely crazy.”

“Yes, we both have the same problem: you.”

“I’m gonna go for broke: I am madly in love with you.”

“You are so odd.”

“No kiss?”

“We got one!”

“He’s an ugly lil’ spud, isn’t he?”

“I did that! I did that! That’s my fault!”

“Nice shootin’, Tex!”

“Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! I’ve always wanted to do this!”

“We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!”

“If there’s a steady paycheck in it: I’ll believe anything you say.”

“I’ve quit better jobs than this.”

“Because you did not use the magic word.”

“That’s a big Twinkie.”

“I have to go. I have a date.”

“Are you the keymaster?”

“I guess the roses worked, huh?”

“Take me now, sub-creature.”

“We never talk anymore.”

“I make it a rule never to get involved with possessed people.”

“What a lovely singing voice you must have.”

“Are you the gatekeeper?”

“Wait for the sign, then all prisoners will be released!”

“Y’know, you’re a real humanitarian.”

“I don’t think he’s human.”

“You said before you were waiting for a sign, what sign are you waiting for?”

“There’s something very strange about that man.”

“Listen: I’m usually very psychic and I have a terrible feeling that something awful’s gonna happen to you.”

“You never studied.”

“No offense, but I gotta get my own lawyer.”

“I have seen shit that’ll turn you white!”

“Yes, it’s true… This man has no dick.”

“I’m gonna get you a nice fruit basket.”

“Are you a god?”

“[Name], when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!”

“Alright- this chick is toast!”

“We have the tools, we have the talent!”

“Choose the form of your destructor.”

“Well there’s something you don’t see every day.”

“Sorry, [name]. I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.”

“There’s definitely a very slim chance we’ll survive.”

“This job’s definitely not worth $11.5k a year!”

“We’d like to get a sample of your brain tissue.”

“I love this town!”

Prompts from An American Werewolf In London (1981)

Lines of dialogue from the horror comedy An American Werewolf In London. Change as needed.

“You’re not having a good time, are you?”

“Okay, but whatever happens: it's your fault.”

“Remember the Alamo.”

“You made me miss.”

“Did you hear that?”

“Wait a minute- we’re lost!”

“You really scared me, you shithead!”

“I appreciate how upset you are, but this is no reason for hysterics!” 

“My memory is fine, it's my sanity I’m beginning to worry about.”

“You put me in an awkward situation, [name].”

“You’d be surprised what horrors a man is capable of.”

“Why the hell are you so quick to disbelieve me?”

“I’d rather not be by myself.”

“You're a very beautiful girl.”

“Puppetry’s an artform, [name].”

“Has it occurred to you that it might be unsettling to see you rise from the grave to visit me?”

“Life mocks me even in death.”

“Have you ever talked to a corpse? It’s boring!”

“Please don’t cry.”

“Beware the moon, [name].”

“There’s only one bed…”

“I’ll be perfectly honest, [name], I’m not in the habit of bringing home stray young men.”

“I will not be threatened by a walking meatloaf!”

“Do I seem crazy to you?”

“I’m torn between feeling very sorry for you and finding you terribly attractive.”

“There’s something wrong with this place.”

“I’m the famous balloon thief!”

“A naked American man stole my balloons.”

“What did I do last night?”

“I don’t know why I feel so good- I haven't felt this good in a long time!”

“Let's go back to your place for a quickie!”

“I love you, but I think I did some terrible things last night! Things I can't remember!”

“You have to stay away from me, [name].”

“You’re all alone?”

“No I’m not being silly, you little creep!”

“What are you doing here? You promised to never do this kind of thing again!”

“Good movie.”

“Aren’t you gonna tell me ‘I told you so’?”

“I’m actually glad to see you, [name].” 

“Yes. I do look most unpleasant.”

“Thank you, you’re all so thoughtful.”

“Please let me help you.”
