MAYDAY (UN: proper-rocket) posted:
I think I’ve heard people who leave here and come back say it’s like no time passed at all back home.

So is there any point to tracking time here?
Does it matter?

Sorry for the lowkey existential crisis.
Just got a lot on my mind.

[August 14th. So it’s come again. Mayday sits outside in Turnbloom City, staring at the sky. She kind of already regrets posting that message but oh well. She’s not doing anything in particular, just loitering in her Rocket uniform as per usual. I figured I’d include this in case you wanted to accost her in person, lol.]

Come by Grand Theater Hall in one hour if you want to watch an ass kicking

[There's a selfie attached, a young woman in a casual, punk-ish outfit with pinkish red hair sticking out her tongue and posing with an altogether unfamiliar looking Pokémon in front of Grand Theater Hall in Turnbloom. She’s holding up an entry slip for a Normal Rank contest.]

[Want to do something else? Hit me up. I'm open for whatever and happy to brainstorm if you want to hit me up via PM or on plurk carrieface! Feel free to use prose instead of brackets - I’ll match you!]

No shit? That’s wild. Sounds like we would hit it off, then. I’m—

—Oh hell, speaking of, what time is it? I better get inside. You should come watch. We can chat more once I’m done wiping the floor with these fools.

[She grins and waves before turning and hustling into the contest hall with Weenis following closely behind.

So! Will you take her up on the offer?]

[lovelycharming]

I'll support you!

[Of course, he will! Mime Jr. mirrored him his eagerness, also promisimg to cheer her on!

He'll be in the audience cheering for her and so will Mime Jr.!]

[The audience oohs and ahhs at the unfamiliar Pokemon on the roster, talking amongst themselves about it right up until the contest begins.

Mayday puts on a hell of a show, building up the tension with each of her move choices and playing to both the judges and the audience alongside her trusty partner. His fire-based repertoire is undeniably cool and well thought out. They’ve clearly practiced a lot. Mayday herself is much more relaxed and energetic than those who know her otherwise might be expecting.

I have no clue if Ultern contests have a battle portion like the anime does or not? But either way, she does what she said she’d do: she sweeps the competition.

Afterwards, catch her getting her filmed with Weenis by an interviewer in the lobby.]

—Kinda nice talking to a normal reporter for a change.

[The interviewer seems confused. Mayday just waves a hand dismissively, distracted by spotting James in the dispersing crowd.]

Don’t worry bout it. We’re all done here, right? Thanks for your support and all that crap. Be sure to catch us next time, too!

[She winks to the camera before brushing past and calling to the other Rocket.]

Oy! What’d ya think?

[Aww, glad she's so into something else that really makes her happy... ;3; ]

[lovelycharming]

[James caught snatches of that interview and couldn't help smirking at the interviewer's response.]

You were brilliant! A shoe-in for the Grand Festival, I'm sure...! Ah, wait, they don't do that here...

((DP game-styled Contests, so no battle portion, according to a mod. ^^))
