Well, I'll certainly whip up a character when the IC exists, but I may have to wait until tomorrow. It's quite late here and I really need a nap.

Howdy! This sounds like it could be hella fun! Count me in!
... Uggggggggghhhhhh...
When we moved in, nothing worked in the flat. The elctricity was cut off for no good reason and the heating apparently broke in the three days between the last tennants and us moving in. Then, once everything was working which took a day in itself, the internet wouldn't work (again, for apparently no good reason) and took another two days to fix that. After all that, we still don't have working gas. It's been so much bloody fun...

The crowd was so much bigger. Alice stood in the middle of the arena with so many people looking at her, she could feel her knees wobbling beneath her. The last competition was hard enough but now there were more opponents and more pressure. There was no way Alice would be able to win this one, she felt it already. IT had been a hard decision, whether or not to fight in the tournament seeing as she got enough money from the last tournament to, coupled with her saving, travel the country. But, she knew her Pokemon and it didn't take a genius to know that they would want to battle. She needed a chance to get to know Biscuits better, the two had trained a little more since the last tournament, but they still hadn't perfected their style together. It would take time, but all of her books told her that a competition like this was the perfect place to raise a Pokemon like Biscuits.
To make matters worse, Alice could see strangers looking her way, whispering about her to their neighbors. It had been a small tournament, but word traveled quickly and she knew she had been labeled as someone to watch out for. She didn't consider herself a tough trainer, but she did consider her Pokemon to be strong. If they worked together, then they had a slim chance. However, with this many people staring at her, she felt like she was going to pass out any second now. She prayed that the tournament would start soon so that she could get out of the spotlight for at least a couple of minutes.

Sorry for the delay, I was moving flat and had issues with the new internet. Back now!
That's fine with moi
People. People everywhere. Alice assumed it was because she co-won the tournament, but all of a sudden she was surrounded by people talking to her. The kid seemed pretty nice, Alice didn't really want to talk to anyone, but at least he was just trying to be nice. The Liam guy sauntered over and acted pretty arrogant, acting like the kid was annoying her when really he was just chatting. This was the sort of situation Alice feared most. Part of her wanted to tell the Liam guy to go away because of his 'holier-than-thou' attitude, but that would be mean and she simply didn't want to upset anyone. It would also be pretty easy to agree with the Liam guy and ask him to get rid of the kid, which gave her an easy way to sneak off and vanish and hopefully not have to talk to anyone.
"I, uh, well, I, uh." She stammered, looking for any way to get away from the pair of them. All of a sudden, she saw her opponent Beatrix wave from nearby. "Hey, uh, I'm supposed to be... Uh... Meeting her. Sorry." She stammered weakly, it was a pretty obvious lie as she jumped to her feet and darted away from the pair. She sauntered over to Beatrix and along side her.
"I uh, sorry... But I needed to get away from them so I said I was meeting you 'cause you waved and it seemed like an easy way to get away from them... So, uh... Sorry?" She mumbled quickly, blushing pretty deeply.

I'll make a post responding to the people who spoke to Alice tomorrow, but I'm out all today.
Alice smiled, nodded her thanks and took her prizes, dashing away from the crowd. It was beginning to get awfully, well, crowded around there and she really could use the time away from the spotlight. Once she was away, sitting on the beach nearby, she checked out her cut of the prize money. It was enough. In fact, it was more than enough. With this in her pocket, she could grab enough supplies and ditch this city, get on the road and actually start seeing the world like she had intended when she moved here from Scotland. A smile crept across her face as she buried her checque into her coat pocket, leaning back in the warm sand.
"Excuse me, may I have a moment?" A man spoke from behind her, making her sit straight back up "I'm organizing another tournament, invitation only, and I was wondering if you'd like a chance to compete." He pulled out a pamphlet with a flourish and handed it to Alice who didn't even look at it.
"Thank you, but battling isn't really my..." She began to stammer, but the man stopped her before she could finish.
"You and your Pokemon have a most wonderful way of battling and I would truly love to see it again. Please think it over, and if you wish to join just show up, otherwise it should be interesting to watch if you have nothing better to do." Alice glanced over the leaflet with a shrug and folded it neatly, placing it into her pocket.
"I'll see what my Pokemon want, thank you sir." The man, nodded and smiled and then wandered away. From where Alice stood, she saw him going over to talk to Beatrix. There was something strange about that girl, but Alice knew one thing. She really did want a chance to beat the girl's Litwick. If Biscuits had listened to Alice from the start, the fight would have had a much different outcome.
