[ wherever you are in luceti, you're being approached by a girl on horserapidash-back. she looks pretty tired, but determined. ]

Excuse me. Could I ask for your assistance?

... Oh, and would you happen to know if there's a hotel nearby?



[ note: Platina is looking for empoleon and lopunny. feel free to have your character find them or have shenanigans 8) ]

[cilantro]

Hm? [...Oh, wow, hello. And is that Rapidash oh my gosh...wait--answer her question first before you start obsessing over this fact Cilan.]

Well, I'm afraid there aren't any hotels here that I'm aware of, but if there's anything else you'd like assistance with, I'd be more than happy to help.

[leadinglady]

No hotels...?

[ okay, complaining later. first thing's first. ]

I'm looking for the rest of my team! Would you happen to have seen an empoleon or a lopunny around?

[cilantro]

[oh!] Ah, I take it you're from the Sinnoh region...I haven't seen an Empoleon or a Lopunny around just yet, but I'll help you look for them now if you'd like!

[leadinglady]

I am indeed. And you really will?

[infinitefrown]

[Oh! It's the lady Emmet was talking to...]

While there's plenty of living space, Miss, hotel services unfortunately aren't existent here. [So you get your own room, but it's not cleaned every day...]

[infinitegrin]

But we can help you find a good room! If you want help.

[leadinglady]

[ lady is right! but ??rooms without hotel services?? ]

That's strange... but of course! I would definitely be interested!

[infinitefrown]

[well, if you end up on ingo and emmet's (and cilan's) floor, they make dinner in the shared kitchen every night....... is that a hotel service gfdkj]

Well-- it's mostly regular residencies... [So it's not too strange...?] But yes.

Ah... and you are a Pokemon trainer, correct? [So they'd want to place her near the others!]

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, there ain't a hotel here, sorry to say. [Oh, hello Rapidash-rider.]

[leadinglady]

There isn't...?

[ how do you people survive! ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Luceti's tourism market's pretty poor.

[leadinglady]

It seems to be. Maybe they need an investment.

[ expandin the berlitz empire... ]

[tsuntrader]

[It gets his attention, at least. It also get's Sneasel's. The two of them both look at not her, but her Rapidash.

Then at each other... Then back at Rapidash.

...Then finally up at Platina.] Sorry to say, but there's no hotel here. [...] That's a Rapidash, right?

[leadinglady]

No hotel...

[ she perks up at seeing another pokemon, but then wilts at Silver's words. ]

And yes, he is. Why do you ask?

[tsuntrader]

Not everyone here has or even knows about Pokémon. I just wanted to double check. [But if she's a trainer-] Did you just arrive here? [-Then he's got incentive to help.]

[leadinglady]

I see. And yes, I'm a new feather.

... Is it that obvious?

[generalflirt]

Wait- wait wait wait wait.

[He might be handsome. And muscular. And in fashionable clothes. But she is on a horse as she asks this. Ignoring that it has a flames for a mane and thus is most likely a pokemon or some magical animal-]

I feel like there's something wrong with this situation. ...And not just that we're on a bridge made of wood.

[leadinglady]

[ hhhey I am 12 and what is this. also rapidash isn't just a fire horse, he's a ~fire unicorn~ ]

Rapidash is very well trained, thank you. What's the problem?

[generalflirt]

Well as a princess, I should be the one on a white horse, not you, obviously!

[Yes this is

a legit complaint. He even uses a whiney voice and slumps his shoulders]

[savedtheworld]

[While Aang is riding his air scooter across town, he spots Platina riding her Rapidash around. He hovers towards her and dissipates the scooter as he approaches. He sincerely hopes she's gotten some sleep.]

Hey, Platina!

[leadinglady]

Ah, Aan--

[ ... wait were you flying just now. staring in surprise and wondering if she was seeing things from tiredness. ]

[savedtheworld]

Is something wrong?

[wannabolt]

[...That's a human riding a unicorn.

A giant unicorn that looks really strange. Why are the eyes so small, where's the cutie mark?

Oh. Sorry. She was asking a question, wasn't she?]

Hate to break it to ya, but you might have to settle for apartments.

[leadinglady]

[ rapidash whinnies WHAT'S UP FELLOW PONY while Platina just stares for a moment at the talking pokemon. well... it'd be polite to answer, huh. ]

An... apartment? What exactly is that?

[wannabolt]

You've never heard of an apartment?

[Dash blinks and raises an eyebrow.]

They're like... miniature houses all bunched together in a large building. I stayed in one for a while, and they're okay. Three bedrooms, but you've gotta share the kitchen with everybody else on the floor.

[Why yes, this "Pokémon" seems to be totally adjusted to civilized living.]
