[h3][color=#C72E5C]Monday Mallory[/color][/h3]

Monday rolled her eyes as some tired, obnoxiously serious old man stepped up to give a lecture on the merits of dragonite. She rolled her eyes and picked at her nose, giving off the most powerful "I don't give a shit" vibes she could manage. Seriously, these people were all ridiculous. She didn't see why she should care if dragonite were powerful or versatile or whatever; in the end it was all the trainer's skill and the pokemon's experience that decided a battle. Or... so Fantina had said. 

[color=#71C41D]"I saw you giving leer back there. Do you have problem?"[/color]

A familiar voice snapped her back into her rage mode. Her hair swung out dramatically as she whipped around to look for the source... and there he was. That sweaty, dirty, [i]arrogant[/i] little shit that had insulted her before. Her hands balled into fists as she approached him, one hundred percent ready for a down and dirty bare-knuckles brawl.

Then she spotted the man her target was talking to. He was tall, rich-looking, and most of all, attractive in an effeminate sort of way. Everything about him [i]screamed[/i] Pokemon Coordinator. Great. Just great. And the flamboyant bastard was already starting on some inane bullshit about fashion to the overdressed punk she'd been targeting. 

Monday certainly didn't like the kid in the winter wear, but she wouldn't wish a Coordinator on [i]anyone.[/i] Steeling herself, she waltzed up to him and threw an arm over his shoulder. 

[color=#C72E5C]"Wow that sounds suuuuper interesting,"[/color] she interrupted, addressing the Coordinator. It was obvious she didn't actually find it interesting at all. [color=#C72E5C]"But uh... me and my [i]buddy[/i] here need to get going. Isn't that right, [i]pal?[/i]"[/color] Her grip around the kid's shoulder tightened. Lowering her voice to a level not even she had known was possible for her, she addressed him with total seriousness. 

[color=#C72E5C]"If you let a guy like this get started he'll never shut up. I'm doing you a huge favor here so just play along for like two minutes and then you'll never have to see him or me again, got it?"[/color]

Meanwhile, Asystole turned from the dragonite to the snover. [color=DC2B04]<Well... she's perfectly good to me, but her common sense is a little, well, lacking. So we lose a lot. And-->[/color] The duskull stopped short as she caught sight of Monday's arm around another trainer. [color=DC2B04]<Oh dear, you'll have to excuse me. She'd better not be picking another fight!>[/color] With a hurried bow to the other two pokemon, she floated nervously to Monday's side and hovered by her shoulder.
