Having gotten up two whole hours before the set time for today's big event, there had been [i]just[/i] enough spare time to get ready. A shower, brushing her teeth, brushing her hair, combing, styling, hair mist, doing her lashes, applying foundation, that soft pink lip balm she'd really grown to like recently... It had all takena a while to get herself in order. ANd let's not talk about picking her outfit for the day. It wasn't just another everyday, today was perhaps one of the biggest and most important ones of her life. So, to say she [b][i]had[/i][/b] to look [b][i]fabulpus[/i][/b] didn't even need to be said. After a bit of back and forth in the hotel room she was staying - paid for by her parents, naturally - the young girl finally decided on her attire for the momentous occasion. A pair of white, sleek white knee-high lace-up boots with blakc lace and pink accents, a pair of equally snowy white thighhighs. A royal blue pencil skirt, slit up the side to about half-way up her thighs, with a wavelike, cerulean blue wave-pattern along the bottom of the hem. A cream colored fleecy off-shoulder sweater, that let her shoulders be bare, along with a white tank top with a small, navy blue bow on the chest. FInally, she a pair of white elbow gloves with the same pink accents as her boots, as well as a pretty milky pink flower accessory in her hair. Yes. That would work. She looked quite fetching. Evelyn knew this, because she'd stared at and struck various poses infront of the mirror for several minutes now. Sadlky, all of this had made it quite impossible to clean up all the clothes that [i]hadn't[/i] been selected for today's outing, and were now littering the hotel room's floor, table, chairs and even the bed. But... That could wait. There wasn't enough time left to worry about tidying up. She had to get going. And going was just what she got to doing. Leaving the room, taking the elevator down to the ground floor, and exiting out through the fancy automated doors, she finally stepped out into the sunny morn of Grand Glory City... ... It was a bit nippy... [i]Pull yourself together, Eve! A little chill's a small prize to pay when you look [b]this[/b] good! C'mon, get a move on. Don't wanna be late.[/i] Her legs and feet began to move. With practiced, countless hours of rehearsed and minute mimicking that had been performed over hours upon more hours, the girl set off. her strides were measured, elegant, smooth. One leg infront of the other, her hips slightly swaying from side to say, though it looked more like she was gliding ahead rather than walking, only betrayed by the soft clicking of her shoes against the pavement with each step. She passed by people and pokemon. Busy streets, bustling with life and activity, noise and voices. But, the youth didn't pay them any mind. Her eyes, almost as golden as her hair, shined with determination and focus. A laser-beam of single-minded, straightforward movement. She passed by shops, homes, even a park, and lots of others, but nothing caused her head to turn or even her eyes to glance. There was only one though and one place on Evelyn's mind right now. [center][h3][i]EVIG POKEMON LEAGUE Headquarters[/i][/h3][/center] She had finally arrived. Standing outside the magnificent, wide and somewhat imposing building loomed right before her eyes and person. She stood at the threhold. A few more steps, and she'd be inside. A new chapter of her life, and the first one that would later be told to immortalize her life. She'd have to take notes about everything later so she could save it for her autobiography when it was eventually written. But now was not the time for gawking in awe and planning for her eventual successful future, now was the time for [i]action[/i] ! Taking a breath, she steeled herself, refocused her eyes, set her face's expression and... Psuhed on in. The doors slid open just as easily as those over by the hotel. With as much grace as she had had while walking here, the young blonde entered the building. Her mind was... To put it mildly - quite blown by what she saw. [i]What the what...!? Ho... Huh!? They got a waterfall and a little pond INSIDE this place? Wait, there're trees too!? Holy Miltank! How much did they spend on the decor and architecture here? I mean, I sorta like it, very modern-natura-fusion and all, but still... Just, [b]Wow![/b][/i] Of course, Evelyn's eyes and face did not betray any of these internal thoughts. After all, a star who can't keep their cool and have a lid on their expressions and reactions could hardly be worth paying attention to. Arriving at the front desk, the girl spoke to the receptionist - paying no mind to the other staff and employees who were milling about the place. [color=gold]"Hello, I'm Evelyn. I'm here on Professor Kapoc's invitation to receive a Pokedex and my first Pokemon."[/color] The stereotypical, faceless clerk pushed some buttons and glanced at their monitor, before acknowleding that she was supposed to be here. Giving some generic dialogue and hands-off drection, told the blond eo go wait over 'there', where all the other candidates were supposed to assemble. Giving a quick nod, without thanking the person for their work, Evelyn set off and strode onto The Stage. [i][center][h3]Pokemon League Waiting Area[/h3][/center][/i] As she entered the designated space for waiting, her presence was made immediately apparent. Her long sidelocks flowed and trailed behind her as she glided across the snazzy floor. Her face was calm, serene, eyes half closed and an expression of confidence sat on her face. Her posture was excellent, her limbs moved in synchronized unison, it was like watching a moving piece of art! ... Or... At least that's how Evelyn envisioned her arrival looking to the others in her own head. Complete with a pink, glowy background and dramatic slow-motion effectrs as well, the whole she-bang. As she moved, the girl paid modest attention to the other arrivals who had gotten here before her. [i]Pfft, try-hards... Don't they know you never get to some place too early or too late?[/i] She wasn't upset that she hadn't been the first to arrive here, not at all. Still, who was her peers exactly? Curiousity got the better of the blonde here, and she deigned a glance at each of them... A boring, generic-looking boy you could find just about anywhere... A small child wearing a hood, squirreling away at the far end of the lobby, as if afraid of something... And then there was Prince Valerian. ... Wait. [b][i]PRINCE VALERIAN!?[/i][/b] Of course someone like Evelyn was intimately aware and familiar with the crown prince of Evig. after all, the lad was no stranger to appeairng on the covers of magazines, blogs and being a major socialite who participated in no small amount of events around the country. [i]Wha-W-W-W-w-W-W-what's the [b]Prince[/b] of Evig doing here..?! This was supposed to be [b]my[/b] historical debut! Damnit all! Damn him, and his... Perfectly quaffed hair and... Smooth, unblemished skin... Gah, no! Focus, girl! This is [b]your[/b] moment, not his or anybody elses![/i] As the girl passed by the figure-head princeling of their nation, she momentarily stopped and paused. Slowly turning to look over athe slightly older boy, she gave him a soft smile, still with half-closed, calm eyes. She then performed a splendid curtsie towards the royal, before raising her head to look him in the eyes. [color=gold]"Prince Valerian, charmed. I hope today's events will prove pleasant for us both."[/color] She could've said more. She could've asked more. She could've gone on a big long tirade of flowery speech and eloquent gaslighting. But... No. This wasn't [i][b]his[/b][/i] moment. He already got enough attention as it was! He already had [i]everything[/i], he didn't need this too. Thus, it was important to show that he wasn't the main attraction here! Not giving he rname, not stopping to chat, not stroking his social status Simply giving a polite greeting and moving on, like he was just an after-thought or side-attraction... Yes. That was the way. Moving on, she quietly paced by the other boy. The... Unassuming one. In fact, Evelyn might not even have registered that he was there, given her mind was pre-occupied with other things and thoughts at the moment. But she did eventually stop, taking a seat in one of the chairs, crossing one leg over the other. Completely unaware that she had, for whatever reason, parked her butt on the seat right next to the poor kid who was trying their best to stay far, far away from everyone else... [i]Woopsies~[/i]
