Suddenly in the midst of a Summer Festival--

[ulternnpc]

 

There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby.

In the coastal city of Turnbloom the sun is bright and warm, and the scent of the sea wafts through with the cool gentle breeze that makes the glittering pinwheels spin, and the leaves on the palm tree dance.

Today the streets are extra decorated with these cute, colorful and floral shaped pinwheels. It seemed the people who were out in the streets were dressed in colorful summer attire--either casual, or the more traditional yukata. It seemed like with the booths were set out for both food and games for festival of some kind that was currently underway.

Just how did you get here, and why? A mystery, and it seemed the people in the streets didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary as they go about enjoying their time out on this bright sunny day.

Wants more Fireworks

[icfirewarriors]

Well, I guess the party is at its end. Dancing? Following the fire works? Can't we just get more fireworks?

HAPPY FIRE WORKS

[monologing]

[Red is sliding over to Shamus with a water bottle in hand. He's all danced out! Wait what's this about wanting more fireworks? He'll stare at the younger trainer before digging through his bag. There had to be a... he was sure he had...aha!

He's then held out a packet of party sparklers for Shamus to see.]

...want one?

Re: HAPPY FIRE WORKS

[icfirewarriors]

[Shamus didn't want to look too eager. But he was genuinely surprised to see someone offer him one.]

[After a quick glance away, he quickly looks back towards the older trainer and accepts his offer].

Great! Thanks!

[He takes them all though].

[monologing]

[Oh he took the whole package... well, Red didn't specify he was offering just one sparkler to Shamus, was he? Yeah, that must be why Shamus had taken the whole thing package instead.

That is the extremely charitable reasoning Red immediately takes when Shamus (so rudely) takes the fireworks from his hands. So in true fashion to himself, Red immediately sticks extremely close to Shamus due to his lack of personal space over the years. Without another word he'll hold a hand out followed by an expectant stare at Shamus.

He just wanted at least one of the sparklers for himself to light up and use.]

[icfirewarriors]

[Shamus doesn't usually think much after rudely interacting with someone but most people he interacted with would usually just move on and leave, but Red stood by, somewhat confusing the fire trainer].

Look, I'm not going to pay you for these, especially since you offered.

[Though re-examining Red's expression he could tell he was more interested in the fireworks which caught Shamus's respect.]

Oh, you're into fire too, huh? Well, then I guess I could share. Finally another trainer with some taste!

[he WOULD want more fireworks, fff]

[serperiority]

[Trip was too exhausted to go dancing a second time and anyway, that was enough socializing for one day… but, with a mixture of excitement and mortification, he recognized another face from home!]

Ulsai, Shamus…?

[Sorry, brain not responding, he accidentally defaulted to greeting him in Ulternian.]

Re: [he WOULD want more fireworks, fff]

[icfirewarriors]

Huh? What was that?

[He turns to see Trip].

Oh, there you are. Thankfully not everyone here is a loser. Where have you been?

1/2

[serperiority]

[… he greeted him in the local langauge instead, gah! Wait, it’s alright, it looked like he just noticed him, so Shamus probably didn’t see him dance.]

Sorry, it’s how people here greet others… you know, like, “alola”?

Ulsai. [A little half-hearted wave.]

[serperiority]

[Now, in a more serious tone:] Trying to figure this place out.

Do you remember anything about how you arrived here? What have you learned about this place so far?

We could pool together what we know.

[icfirewarriors]

I'm not sure. I just remember getting an invite to this place and hearing that a lot of trainers would be here, so here I am.

Have you found anything interesting to do here yet?

[serperiority]

Huh... I don't remember getting anything like that.

[Were there different routes to this place?]

... well, there's a festival going on, so there's food and our money's good here, so, if you're hungry...

[Never mind that he was too scared to eat or drink anything he didn't bring with him for the longest time here! After a quick conspiratory glance around, he leaned close, dropping his voice to a whisper.]

Hey, Shamus? Can I ask you a question? You can't laugh, it's serious.
