[ 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!! ]

H-how terrible! It would be a real pime taradox...

[ ladies don't mispronounce!... unless they're stuttering from sudden stage fright in front of trying not to let comedybuddy down. just staring, and then realizing what she'd said. ]

... I mean, that is!

[willpowered]

[you either run with it or keep on, pretending you don't notice the error!

and for missy's sake, he'll do the latter.]

A time paradox, right! You'd need a big mop to clean it up, wouldn't you?

[comedy is also about suspending belief do not give into your intelligent urges to remind pearl mops cannot actually clean up the time-space continuum]

[acuity]

Y-yes, a mop. Or I could ask Sebastian to clean it for me...

[ because clearly her butler can fix anything, including time paradoxes. and somehow this one-man show turned into manzai, FUNNY HOW THAT HAPPENED. ]

[willpowered]

[their entire arc was a manzai what did you expect]

Are we making the butler the butt of the joke?

[acuity]

[ weakly, trying to think fast 6_9 ]

If he, um, serves that role, I suppose so!

[willpowered]

[that was such a weak finish

but pearl's proved his point, in the end.]

You really don't have much of a funny bone, do you.

[acuity]

[ point to pearl FOR NOW. ]

F-fine, I may be more audience than performer. But I did try!

[willpowered]

I could try to teach you a few things.

[he guesses.]

[acuity]

You'd do that? I... I have room for improvement, don't I?

[willpowered]

If told you you'd never be able to perform, you'd probably end up getting all determined like you always do and going off to practice in secret... or get Dia to help you.

[And that is a disaster waiting to happen, seriously.]

So yeah, I'd help. Or try to.

[it's not because he likes u or anything....]

[acuity]

[ IT'S TRUE and why are you saying 'get Dia to help me' in that tone of voice exactly >8|a ]

Well, it's appreciated. So... thank you for that, Pearl.

[ she probably doesn't say that enough! ]

[willpowered]

[because letting dia help on his own is not pokaaaay in the least!]

It's nothing! [man missy you sure are embarrassing tonight-- he turns his head away, pretending to look at the rest of their surroundings instead of being somewhat blushu blushu] You'll be a master at jokes by the time I'm through with you.

[acuity]

[ of course not, threeway is the best way!!... YEP. ]

I'll look forward to the training! Shall we start at five tomorrow?

[ getting up at the crack of dawn is just the way training works whether for pokemon battling or comedy, ok o9" ]

[willpowered]

Are you sure you can get up that early?

[don't push yourself!!]

[acuity]

Of course I can. It'll be just like before, when you and Diamond were helping me train for my gym battles.

... And I'm sure I could get up even earlier, if that sound could be my alarm again.

[willpowered]

You're as sappy as Dia. [...] ...but I know the feeling. It must've been just like before, huh?

[acuity]

It's been months since I heard that sound. So... I suppose I'm happy that I could again at all.

[ but it's the truth 8( ]

[willpowered]

[If he was the hugging type, he might've considered giving Missy one.

But he's not. And she's a lady, that stuff doesn't fly or whatever. And Pearl can get sentimental, when it suits him, but he's going to, uh. Kneel down and start picking up coins.]

Let's get these donated or something. I'll carry your bag too.

[acuity]

[ yeah, hugs apparently aren't part of the heiress etiquette. even though fistbunps are??... shh, don't question it. she just beams at him and bends down to pick up a few, as well. JUST A FEW. ]

Thank you. I do hope they'll accept them... and possibly carry coin cases.
