A Sinister Harvest!
Once again the season for the Harvesting Bonds festival has arrived. All over the islands people and Pokemon were dressing up in colorful, autumn themed costumes for the occasion.
However the main event, down in Gilterrace Town had yet to be completed. There were still people out still preparing for the upcoming festival. The town was buzzing with activity, as last minute decorations were being made out of pumpkins. There were even a number of people fussing over where to place them among the other decorations that have already been set out.
From the laughter, and smiles from people they were all clearly enjoying their time together. Aside from decorating people could be seen helping out Pokemon into their costumes. A playful wind brushes by--carrying the scent of food throughout the town
Click.
A sudden sound that would only be audible enough if things were silent, went off. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except one of the pumpkins seemingly lit up. Then another, and another, and then more.
"Huh, that's strange? Did someone put something in here?" One of the people in charge could be heard over by the decorations.
"Oh, maybe somebody already lit up one of the lanterns? Kinda early for lights don't ya think?" Another spoke up while walking closer checking out one of the glowing decorations in question.
"K…kyaaah!" Suddenly a scream pierced sharply, causing the festive atmosphere to grow quiet and still. Many eyes turned toward the scene. Before them a Parasol Lady is suddenly surrounded by a group of people holding her in place as a Malamar and a man approach in front of her.
The scene was peculiar, and unsettling as the Parasol Lady's fearful expression gradually grew blank--with her eyes seemingly vacant. An unsettling silence stretched as both the man and Malamar turned.
The man will raise his hand slowly, pointing directly towards them with a smirk on his face.
"Go, my faithful ones. Capture them all."

[I should finally get to that thread, too!!]
"Well... I'm a paying customer today, so..."
Regardless of getting off on the wrong foot, let's see what there is on offer... are there any apple strudels? How about a tart? Or even a pumpkin pie? She could sure go for some cinnamony baked apples...
Yes. LOL.
There's definitely pumpkin pies. And even strudels. There are also donuts, various breads, muffins, and cupcakes.
[There we go~~]
"Psh, I'm not always nicking stuff," Georgia said, with a dismissive eyeroll, then smiled.
She hesitated, a moment, wanting the pie too, but settled for pointing only at the apple strudel.
"That one. So, how much is it?"
Re: [There we go~~]
She names a fair price.

Georgia smiles and pays, even considering the pumpkin pie again... alright! She doesn't know how long she'll be away from Unova, she might not get another chance to eat one for a long, long time!
"And the pie, how much for the pie?" she asked, so eagerly and hopefully, she found it a little embarrassing in hindsight.

[oh, well!]
“I’ll take it! You’ve got pretty good business sense.”
Which isn’t something she ever imagined saying to a Pokemon, but hey, anything can happen in Ultern!

“Wrap up the pie, I guess I’ll have the apple strudel here.”

“Hey. Do you ever get fur on food? Do they make gloves just for Eevee?”
Oddly curious.

“Did you always think you’d be a baker? And was it tough to convince humans to do business with you?”
no subject
"I wanted it from an early age," she says. "Luckily, my human was very supportive. It wasn't always easy convincing customers it was a good idea, though."
no subject
She’ll have her apple strudel now, as she listens and smiles.
“Glad your trainer had your back.”

Georgia's done some less than ideal things as a trainer, but she's still learning and she means well.
