Twenty-Fourth Gem / / / Action for Ecruteak

[overthedratini]

[Welcome, one and all, to the Kimono Girls theatre! Where a certain, special tune plays day and night, as the beautiful Kimono Girls dance for all to enjoy, and battle any and every challenger. Not only that, they even serve snacks and tea!]

Uwaaah... This really is something. It was a great idea to come here, given the weather and all, hehehe!

[Aki is sitting on her knees on a pillow, staring at the girls on stage in awe and completely unable to take her eyes off them, even for a sip of her drink. She quietly murmurs to herself.]

...I wonder if I could do that...

[She might be talking about the dancing, or she might be talking about the battling. Or maybe both.]

[overthedratini]

Which one?

[leaning over to ask-- hello duelist who I don't know is a duelist who I may or may not have never met before :O]

[markoftherose]

[She's sort of taken by surprise at Johan's question, since she didn't expect a response to that. But she got one, so.]

The way they battle is just as elegant as the way they dance, both Pokemon and trainer. I wonder if there's an art to it.

...It sort of reminds me of someone I met once, but a little different. That person was part of the reason I became a riding duelist back home.

And now that I'm here, and I see someone who can hold battles like this... I'm beginning to wonder if I couldn't do that, too.

[primaduelerina]

The dancing?

[bakaitoukid]

[probably the nearest person, also watching the kimono waitress bustle off to get Johan's drink]

-- what? Oh, yeah. Comfy~

[overthedratini]

[catching that he's distracted. but by what?]

You don't think so?

[bakaitoukid]

[CUTE GIRLS IN KIMONOS]

Never said that. I'd say it's very comfy.

[bufudyned]

[sitting with a cup of steaming tea in her hands, sipping at it gently as she watches the battles.

Why yes, she is scouting out the competition. And coming up with suitable strategies for when she decides to challenge them]

[overthedratini]

... You seem really into it!

[bufudyned]

Ah-- [startled a bit, before she relaxes and nods] I'm merely observing my future opponents in an attempt to analyze their battle tactics.

[youhavemybat]

[A Chimchar will be chilling on his arm while he's doing the same.]

Heeh... You don't see girls like those anymore. They must get a lot of marrage requests.

[primaduelerina]

[ yeah, she's watching the battle rather avidly. While her Minun tries to dunk his head into her cup and an Eevee slumbers on her lap. ]

[bufudyned]

[sitting nearby! Plusle is urging his brother on while Mitsuru watches curiously]

-- they're quite skilled, don't you think?

[primaduelerina]

They are. There's a grace-- not only to their movements, but their strategies.

[bufudyned]

It's almost as if the battle itself is a performance. [a smile] Truly, they must be disciplined.

/FASHIONABLY LATE?

[used_beatup]

[Dance Hall isn't usually what would catch Beat's interest- and it's not! He's just poking his head in to see what this place is. And it's a dance hall. But what the hell, he's got time to kill anyway. So he shrugs, ventures a bit further in]
