the disciples of dome will rise... okay actually just the one

[Alice can be found at the Battle Park, checking everything out and holding some paperwork. She's looking specifically at all of the battle arenas, but if she spots you, she'll wave.]

Ulsai! I'm just working some things out with the venue here, but I thought I'd see what all of the terrain courts were like. What's your favourite?

[Or you can just find her around town, putting up posters and carrying a clipboard.]

Oh, did you hear about the Dome-tide tournament? I've worked it out to host one coming up! It'll be fun, do you want in?


(Alice is setting up for the Dome-tide battle tournament, which will get its own post on or around the 12th. OOC signups are here on the plotting post for anyone who hasn't yet! Brackets and winners will be decided through RNG, and you won't have to play through your battles unless you want to.)

[X takes the clipboard looking it over. Name? X should be fine...]

I like to battle too. Or...at least I'm starting to like them again. I think a few of my Pokemon would be eager to join.

[domeinion]

Starting to, huh... [Alice smiles.] I hope you have fun with it! If they're happy, that's the most important thing here.

I know Garma would be put off if I don't enter him into it.

[X sighed, as a pair of eyes peered from his own shadow. His Gengar, Garma was clearly listening eagerly.]

Will you be entering as a participant too, Alice?

[domeinion]

I'm thinking about it! At least if we don't get an even number. I met a lot of my friends back home through things like this, so it'd be fun, but running them yourself is a lot of work. Oh, hello!

[That last bit to Garma, to whom Alice looks down and waves.]

Does he usually hang around out here with you? He seems interested.

[closedbond]

If you do... I hope that we can battle.

[It sounded like it would be a fun tournament... he'll write down his information, and put down Garma for his Pokemon. As he's doing so, he stepped closer to whisper over to Alice.]

He likes being the center of attention, that's why he's interested if there's a crowd involved.

[domeinion]

[Alice laughs a little at that and takes note.]

I can't blame him for that! I've definitely known some people like that. There was a girl I knew who used to be a child star and an idol... I don't think that ever really got out of her.

[closedbond]

I guess it would be hard to put that away if you're used to it...

[The opposite of himself, given his own bad experience but that was neither here or there. Instead he had more questions, while Garma slipped back into X's shadows.]

About the tournament, how many Pokemon are we allowed to have?

[domeinion]

Six to a party is the maximum, like average league rules. It's the fairest option, since most of us have to use the PC to switch out.

[closedbond]

Maximum of six...got it! I think I know which Pokemon I'll be using in that case.

[He'll smile and jot down the rest of the information on the clipboard before hand it to Alice.]

I hope we can face each other in the tournament.

[domeinion]

Me too. And if we can't, there's always another time. I'm looking forward to it!

[At that response there's a faint smile on X's face. It's been a while since he felt this way at the idea of battling someone he wanted to challenge for himself. Yet true to his usual fashion, X won't vocalize that out loud and kept the thought to himself.]
