EDIT:

Also, how many of you guys packed lollipops!? o_o


Melissa packed gum rather than lolipops :D

bundle of posts while i slept, goodness
Oh, motorcycle lady! Melissa was, in her rounds, close enough to hear her comment--and replied with a happy, peppy "Nooo, I'm not allowed coffee!" Bouncing on the spot to smile at the lady despite the less-than-politeness she radiated "I dunno why, but anything Mom actually agrees with Dad about is something I should probably obey!" she explained and, well, off she went again, stepping away and about to go faster when the assistant-lady called for attention?! And that! Well she was here at their call, so, only polite!...and she was interested, so she slowed, and stayed still-ish (Bouncing on her toes but not swaying), and--wait, does that tall proper-looking lady have a...a...Pokemon? Of some sort she didn't know, but it had a tail and was beige-ish. Maybe a fighting type? Not that she'd know--right! Professor! Arriving! Attention! Focus! Stop looking at tall Pokemon-on-her lady, focus on assistant-lady, and...!

And...

And the lady didn't come out yet. Melissa blinked, and blinked, and the professor (Was she really prune-like?) did not materialize. Her attention wandered, as it did, back to the thing that had previously caught her attention, as it was common to. That lady, with a Pokemon on her! Which was not uncommon, really, but she had not seen that type of Pokemon before! Also the lady was....Well, she had the cool-lady-from-the-boat's issue. Which wasn't an issue for her more an issue for Melissa. Soft! and right at eye-level to boot, goodness.

Which is more of a problem now that she's right close to her! Well whatever, look up, and up, and up and "Hello! What's that Pokemon? Oh!" She grinned, and clapped, hands together after "Nice to meet you!" she chirped, which got a follow-along "Azuuu!" From on top of her head.

Then a blink.

Oh, right, another person here! Eyes drifted to...the other very tall girl, blonde with eye-shadow and a very pretty Pokemon, hereself. "And nice to meet you, also! That's a...." A tilt of her head, thoughtful, Lonitt not seeming to even protest as she/he remained seated atop her head, despite the almost comical 45 degree angle--nor the sudden return to upright "Ponyta! Of some sort. Right?" She asked, and smiled wide. Oh, and of course "Ri-rill!" From above her. All good, all friendly!

Was she planning on talking to everyone? No, but it seemed inevitable! Even though she was already bouncing on her toes again (though her thick-and-comfy outfit limited other sorts of bounce.) and nodding and "Oh, I'm Melissa! Though I think I announced that already...." she added, and hummed, thoughtful, tapping her chin with her left index finger. Hrm. Eh.

Wait, is that the purple guy? From the boat? Looking like he's being nice to the having-a-hard-time guy on the couch?...Did she hear blind? Oh, wow. Oh and cool-lady and--right! Snap eyes back to the two she was addressing. Politeness, right right right.
The Chariot? Hm. Yeah I can see it, though I dunno if she's that deep. Or maybe she is. I have a feeling at least some of Melissa's personal journey will be figuring out what she genuinely wants to do.
Darn right they were cool! Melissa puffed up a little at the compliment, it was nice to see someone being correct. Even if he had to be corrected. They weren't cute! cute was like, a cuddly li'l Beldum or something, not them. Absolutely cool. Toshi seemed kinda flustered, though? She nodded as he spoke, the baddest motherwowza, swearing! Tsk, not the image you're going for, lad. But oh! ohhhhh. Melissa's head tilted (Lonitt tilted with), as he spoke. One heck of a competitive fella, huh? Was that a him-thing or a guy-thing? Melissa didn't quite get it, but then he asked for advice from her drop of wisdom.

She had wisdom? Maybe just a drop of it, inherited anyway. She giggled at the blatantly wrong praise (Seriously, her, a genius?...her grades were good, but not that good! though maybe that's the lack of studying...) and smiled, clasping her hands behind her back and leaning forward and back, still unable to stand still even if her life depended on it, really. "Welllll, I dunno if I have any wisdom, but Mom always said, about Dad mainly, that if you try, like, to be great, that's how you don't be great at all. Better to just like what you do and you'll get there." She said it with a bright smile, not caring about airing what some may have been wary of. Yeah her parents didn't like eachother, so what?

Still, her attention was wandering already, and as much as this guy was nice...oooo something else to look at! Her eyes wandered, and soon her bouncing was turning into movement, off to investigate people, Pokemon, that's a fridge, what's on top of it?! She did pause long enough to turn and grin and wave and "Thanks for the compliments! Hope your new partner is as beautiful as you!" Shameless and playful and yup, over to the fridge, bounce-bounce, fuggit, up and climb to peek on top, before something else caught her attention.

So many things!
Someone addressing her, while she was close even, got Melissa to actually stop, near skidding to a halt to turn and look. Aw lookit this guy! All...Calling her cute and stuff. Geeesh, awesome, really! People called her that before, yeah, but usually didn't do it so brazenly? And left her alone. Being a rich kid made some distance and all. Well!

"Hey Beautiful, nice to meet you." And he was! Messy spiky haired, face like that clothes like that, yup. Lotta effort into that beauty, eh? "My name is Melissa! This's Lonitt! He, or she, is just the coolest, yeah?" She reached up to pat the li'l Pokemon on her or his head, once more on her head, and the small fairy bounced and bowed with a cheery "Azurill!" It's tail flicked, the little woven ring bouncing along the angular bit.

"Do you have a Pokemon of your own yet?" She asked, bouncing on her toes on the spot, plainly reading to go zoom again, and it wouldn't be long until she did, but she did try to wait for his response! She had no idea about a nickname for him though, hm.
A path to avoid detection? How to...What? Magic? Turn them into--well, okay. Aria nodded slowly, an idea taking form. "I will refrain from becoming an animal." She announced, looking to the others present. "However I can link with your...phones, or other devices, and use that as targeting for teleportation....As well as communication and coordination" She said, monotone, looking at them and....and the wizard just turned into a rabbit. She blinked and stared for a moment. Yes, she had no desire to see how that would interact with her augmentations. "Otherwise I will go where directed." She added, and went still.

She was not the commanding officer here, and if she was paired with Spotlight...

...Well, she actually trusted him to have his head on straight and be aware of how things went, so she would be happy to follow him, actually. So perhaps her faceless stare at him might be uncomfortable, perhaps not, either way, she stared at him silently and awaited orders, or a plan. That was not her job. Though the AI in her head had several.

Oh, there was a question.

"They seem to have most entries covered, either with people guarding them, or sealed with vines."
Less than ideal. But maybe her AI missed something? That thought got a complaint through the link...
ah Stella. There's going to be a smol bug and she's gonna freak and Melissa's just gonna pick it up bare-handed and show off it's wiggly legs and declare it a beautiful buggo.
XD

I'm going to say, uh...at least one. PRobably one with someone on it, just to be sure.

and yes, that is exactly why she was forbidden to drink coffee XD

that is some black magic. Cool, though!
A nickname! Yup, this girl was very nice. How to respond in kind, though? Tilly was already short and nickname-like, so hrm, that'd be a tough one, but! "Azu!" sounded above her head, a happy greeting in kind and yeah Lonitt had the right idea. "Nice to meet you, too, Tilly!" she replied with a grin, before turning as another lady, or girl, came over and wow, tall!...Also wow, endowed! And Melissa was at the right height to be eye-height with said endowments! She blinked, then had to tilt her head up to look at her face and, well "Hello, miss!" She chirped happily, but didn't reeeeally linger on it, because she was asking the captain something...? Oh! Her eyes bounced between her and the captain, following the back and forth between them and then story time. Salty sea-poochyena tales were a staple of travelling by sea, after all, and she listened with rapt attention.

Enough so that when he decided to cut the tale off, she let out an audible "Awwwww, but I kinda did?" of disappointment! But it was time to move and Melissa didn't quite cheer, but she still bounced a good bit off the ground in her excitement, fist in the air. Lonitt didn't even react, besides his/her own bounce, she/he was well used to Melissa being a bumpy ride, after all! So when she scurried ahead to get off the boat and into the city, then stood about, bouncing on her toes to look this way and that until the group caught up, then sort of fell in with them and walked.

And looked, because this was a city unlike any she'd seen....Not that she'd seen many, really, her track record was her home of Sootopolis, and a tiny smidge of Lilycove, seriously not even an hour of it, to board the SS Calliope, so....Well!....It was new to her. Sootopolis wasn't really a normal city, bound as it was in it's crater, made of multiple elevations and all the stairs and climbing. It was a lot quieter, too! Even the down-towniest bits were quieter than this city. Also no actual beaches, just the water. Less sand, yaknow? Less people just diving. More advertisements....Melissa was, perhaps surprisingly, quiet, but not inactive, she was looking every which way and bouncing from one side of the group to the other, taking it all in. Neat. Ahead was a small building that was probably their objective, she guessed, just from how out-of-place it was, so Melissa...Ignored it, paying attention to everything around them still, until.

What Pokemon was that? Making that--oh, no, that's a vehicle. Which was also weird! Again, home? Sootopolis? Not really a normal city! Vehicles, especially big ol' rumbly motorcycles? Not common! She hadn't seen many, so watching it come rumbling in, then turn and screech to a stop...Well, it was pretty neat. And nearby. Melissa was right over to it and, like a great many things, the words went over her head as she leaned and looked this way and that. "Neat." she murmured, to the soft "Rill" of her companion, totally ignoring both of the vehicle's riders. They were just people, which were normal, you know? She could deal with them later.

Or maybe soon? They were going inside the lab, hm. Hmmm. OH well. She bounced back to the group, waved at the captain with a cheery "Thank you, sir! Have a good day!" because pipes and all, at least it didn't smell as bad as some things dummies smoked, and into the place she went, following Tilly who she decided was the one she liked most (for now, who knew what the future would bring).

And inside?

Inside, people. A lot of them. Bags. Pokemon--trainers! Most of them. Some might not be, but most of them? Trainers? And lookit all this stuff! It was...not a lab, but it was a new place, and that? That was more than good enough! Melissa grinned wide, and waved. "Hello, everyone!" She called, waving and bouncing on her toes, then getting moving, quick feet that moved with surprising quietness and a whole lotta speed, a pitter-pat of sneakered feet. There was a lot to explore, after all! Let's see! That's a cute li'l cat pokemon, that's a mopey guy who Melissa went over to and prodded with a finger and a rather disrespectful "You in there? Hello! oh what's that?" and off she went again. Counter, water,--Eugh! "th'smell!" she protested, because eugh, coffee smell, let's not be there. She wasn't allowed coffee anyway, for reasons she'd never really asked, but it wasn't like she wanted the stuff so eh!

"zuuu...." was a protest from her shoulder, now, a somewhat more steady and stable position. "Yeah I don't like it either...does that guy have rubber gloves on?" yup, zoom over to the guy with rubber gloves and...electrical burns? She blinked, looked him in the eye and nodded a "Nice to meet you!" which came with an "Azu!" And yup, attention wandered again. There were so many people and she should really know them all!

Ohey, someone else with a Pokemon on her shoulder! A grass-type, even! Which was bad, an opponent for her lovely little water-type! She staaaaaaared for a moment, then elected to retreat, for now, glancing around and hm, couch. Down to her knees, check under it? Wrappers, oooo coins, don't know what that is...

Ohey that was a girly guy, if she was right and maybe she was, and that blonde dude had coffee, ick, but she shouldn't judge for terrible taste! Maybe he was nice?

Bounce up, and continue her...explorations. Of people and things. Eventually she'd gravitate to hanging around Tilly, or tall-endowed-lady-who-asked-the-captain-stuff, as the people she knew and thus were 'safe', but that would take a bit before she exhausted things to look at....
