[ SOMEONE has been spamming the hell out of her new shiny slot machine she’d received for xmas. and it still hadn’t run out of tokens from all her jackpots yet... time to find a coin case, or at least see if any of the shops in Luceti would be interested in buying taking all these coins, she was filthy rich before but this is getting ridiculous.

carrying a duffel full of tokens is hard work, though, so if you’re anywhere out in the village, visitor or Luceti resident alike, expect to be stumbled into as she faceplants and gold coins go flying everywhere. ow!! ]

[ Snow's probably big enough for half the population to stumble into at once, tbh. ]

Whoa! Take it easy, kiddo. [ He leans down, offering a gloved hand. Not five minutes in and he's already semi-responsible for someone taking a fall. ] Everything okay?

[acuity]

I-I'm fine! But... my coins...

[ accepting hand up and then staring down at the rich mess with ladylike dismay. crawling on the ground and picking them up is not classy! ]

[stonewall]

Your coins? [ Oh wow he didn't even see those... and there's so many of them. He shrugs, giving Platina a pat on the head. ] Open the bag up, short stuff. I'll get 'em.

[ DUTIFULLY BENDING DOWN TO START PICKING THEM UP ]

[acuity]

You will? I do apprecia... short stuff!?

[ oh well that's nice of mr. giant. obediently crouching down and opening duffel in relief and wait a minute I TAKE OFFENSE. ]

[stonewall]

[ LAUGHING IT OFF nobody ever said he didn't like teasing people sometimes ]

It's no problem. [ just going to ignore that offense la di dah picking up coins is pretty great ]

[acuity]

Right. But I do have a name, sir!

[ nvm that she didn't tell him yet just... going to help pick up some of her own tokens in mild irritation, that'll show him. ]

[pokesavior]

[Oh dear, that was a pretty bad spill. All these coins...he kneels down to pick a few up now.]

Where were you heading with all of these? [Uhh N, maybe you should help her up...]

[acuity]

O-ow... what?

[ picking self off ground and trying to dust off coat first. PLATINA'S DIGNITY FELL! oh were you saying something. ]

I... ow, I'm on my way to the general store!

[pokesavior]

The general store? Ah, so you can spend it. Of course.

[A grin, thinking he figured it out.] Would you like some help? [gesturing to the mess on the ground.]

[acuity]

Help would be appreciated, but it's... less spending than it is donating. There's no need for currency, remembe--

[acuity]

[ ... waaait a minute you don't have wings. ??? what? ]

[pokesavior]

[As Platina notices his lack of wings, he notices her wings]

You have wings as well. How strange. [Why are there people with them? And some don't?]

[acuity]

I used to think it's strange, too. But everyone here has them!

[ AND THEN STARING AROUND AT WINGLESS VISITORS 8|a ]

... Usually everyone.

bit late

[ofwillpower]

[Walking around the place, Pearl had a thoughtful expression on his face. However he didn't bother asking anyone what was going on. Then his pokedex went off, and off he went. Eventually he spotted Platina.]

Plati- [all those coins]

[pokemedianheart]

[Dia's Pokedex is beeping, too. He tries to follow it to find the others, but at a slower and much more Dia-like pace, with Munchlax at his side.]

\o/

[acuity]

[ !! that noise! she pauses in the middle of staring at all her coins (she's not going to pick that up!... not all of it anyway) and then frantically gets back to her feet and starts looking around for the source of the others' beeping. ]

Pearl? Diamond?!

[ofwillpower]

[Once Pearl stops staring at the coins, Pearl gets closer to Platina. This time, he speaks up a bit more, being slightly out of breath from running towards the beeping.]

Over here!

[pokemedianheart]

[He starts to hear the voices and slightly speeds up his leisurely pace.]

Hello?

do you mind another pearl

[willpowered]

[There are two things Pearl's noticing right now.

One: Missy has wings.

Two: Missy has coins.

He is a mixture of happy to finally see a familiar face in this freaky place, and mad/disappointed. Girl, what about your promise not to gamble!?]

Missy!

WHY OF COURSE NOT HELLO

[acuity]

[ in the middle of staring despondently at coins that will sadly not pick themselves up by themself when she perks up at the familiar voice and whirls around. I KNOW THAT STRAIGHT MAN. ]

Pearl?... Ah, it's really you!

HI I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE YOU

[willpowered]

[Yes! It is! And he! Is! Not! Half as happy as you!]

Who the heck else would it be!? [Huffing as he moves closer. He'll kneel down to pick up a few coins and study them, then straighten back up. Missy!] Where'd you get these, huh?

NOT AS EXCITE AS I AM!!

[acuity]

I... that is...

[ joy at seeing him quickly evolving into awkward embarrassment at being caught red-handed. coin-handed. trying to block most of the mess from view totally successfully. ]

They're a present for christmas. I've been good, apparently...?

PARDON ME IF I DOUBT THAT!!

[willpowered]

[He is taller than you, Missy, that is not going to work very well.]

You got coins for Christmas? [How dumb do you think he is wow he's not Dia.] What're you gonna buy, air? 'cause everything's free!



[He's checked.]

[goddamnzubats]

[ Wow stop stumbling into us when it's supposed to be the other way around! Silly trainers!

... That said, that swarm of Zubats are all making screeching noises at her. ]

[acuity]

[ how did I stumble into a horde of zubats were you just standing there

watching

waiting

... quickly backpedaling!! ]

Ah--please excuse me!
