[If you're in Turnbloom Market, you might hear music drifting in from the music store, where Lillie has politely requested to play the piano. It's not the first time she's been here to look and play, but fortunately, she's always careful and considerate and there's no rule against it, so she's permitted to play.

Expertly, she begins to play a soft and scintillating, yet solemn tune.]

If anyone happens to be passing by the library, a very distraught Snowy—Lillie’s Alolan Vulpix—might bark at them, pleadingly, and try to point them in the way of the library, where Lillie works, most often reading to younger children.

The library might be in a state of only somewhat-controlled chaos: it seemed a wild Pokemon had found the quiet (well, it had been quiet up until now….) library a very suitable place to hide her children. Unfortunately, said children happened to be Coinpur, which dashed around, furry and fleet-footed, causing quite the commotion, before they quickly tired themselves out, and promptly went to sleep wherever they found themselves, with no regard to danger…

A - Stranded
Lillie had made a brave effort to climb to retrieve one particularly precariously napping Coinpurr who had chosen a very high shelf to sleep in, but in her attempt to reach it, she couldn’t quite manage on the stairs, which clattered away from her, leaving her hanging off a shelf! The Coinpur continued to dream, stretching languidly, before curling up tight.

B - Roar
A bunch of kindergarteners can be heard inconsolably crying or, conversely, competing in spinning increasinglyfrightening (if very creative) stories about a monster living in the book returns chure. None of them are tall enough to actually peek at what’s inside, of course, so all of the terrible stories seem equally impossible to prove right or wrong. Some particularly rambunctious children attempt to roll up thinner books or magazines to try and reach up and swat at the roaring beast, but all it is, really, is the echoing purrs of a sleeping Coinpur in the metallic, tinny-sounding chute.

C -Type: Wildcard
Where else can Coinpur be found? Could you ever hope to catch them all? There are sleeping kittens on the roof (doesn’t anyone have a Flying type?), kittens in people’s bags, kittens in flyers tangled up like hammocks…

Lillie's too old for tea parties with dollies, of course. We've established that. But, just for today, she'd like to pretend, so, once again, she's having a little picnic tea party, only there's no sign and no one else is invited—or rather, it's a closed invitation party, with a very specific number of plates set out around the frosted and berry-topped Tres Leches cake with twelve candles: four plates for cake. She even set out three large bowls for Pokemon, filled with Pokemon food mixed with chinsuko and other little treats to make it special.

Lillie sat, with Snowy by her side and her well-loved Poke Doll in her arms.

"Gladion, mother, father... I'm so glad you could all be here for my birthday party. I've been looking forward to it all year!" Lillie said with a sunny smile. "This will be the first birthday party we celebrate together as a family... that I can remember, of course."

Of course, there was no one else.

Snowy made a soft, concerned sound. Lillie pet her with a slightly strained smile, then pointed to the filled bowl. "That's your bowl over there, Snowy! The other ones are, of course, for Gladion's Umbreon and father's Zoroark and Magearna. But before we start, I should blow the candles and cut the cake, of course..."

((Lillie wanted to celebrate with her family, so while crashing the party won't be initially welcomed, this is just so lonely, she'd probably be ultimately grateful for it! Or your characters can just ask what she's doing or whatever else.))

Hello, Would you care to join me for tea?

[Lillie is having a little tea party on a picnic mat! It's not a pretend tea party with dollies, she's not a baby (although she has just one Poke Doll stashed away in her bag), she has real tea in her teapot, as well as a sugar pot and milk (... boxes, because they keep better on the road and powdered milk doesn't taste quite so nice) and everything! She has many more tea bags stashed away in a picnic basket. Although she can steep tea, at least, Lillie can hardly cook or bake, so all of the snacks come from the Glitterace Town Pokemon Center's Cafe: Ribombee Chocolate Cakes and Scorbunny Berry Sandwiches, as well as chinsuko biscuits to eat with tea.
She even made a cute little sign and taped it to the tree she's sitting under the shade of, which read in neat and pretty, but large letters: "♥ Lillie's tea party! ♥
Free for people, as well as small and medium-sized Pokemon
(*Large-sized Pokemon must be gentle and well-behaved)"

She has some ulterior (educational!) motive for all of this, but this truly is simply a tea party.]

((You know, in case the cafe post isn't enough, we now have a "Lillie has a picnic tea party outside" post, where she'll try to teach characters tea etiquette.))
