PokéAcademy: Totally Just Acquaintences

Apr 15 04:55:50 <Alexandre>	So, I think that 4/16, Friday, might be a good day for it
Apr 15 04:55:56 <Alexandre>	No classes that he's in that day.
Apr 15 04:56:12 <Alexandre>	Which would be the day after PLOT
Apr 15 04:57:11 <Alexandre>	sound good to you?
Apr 15 04:59:08 <Corinne>	Sure, that works.
Apr 15 05:01:10 <Alexandre>	All right. Alexandre has left a letter on her pillow the previous night inviting her out to lunch in Export, since it's the closest city.
Apr 15 05:01:47 <Alexandre>	He makes sure to leave his contact information so that she can call him if she accepts.
Apr 15 05:02:30 	Corinne gives Alexandre a call before making any decisions, her new Slowpoke laying on her lap. She waits for him to answer the call.
Apr 15 05:03:01 <Alexandre>	"D.C. Chairman Alexandre, speaking. How may I help you?"
Apr 15 05:05:00 <Corinne>	"...Who is this? Why did you leave a letter for me?" Corinne asks, honestly unsure of who Alexandre is at the moment. She idly pets Cutie with her open hand.
Apr 15 05:07:23 <Alexandre>	"I... I was at the opening of the cafe yesterday. I am the major financial backer of it. You also punched me after our wilderness survival class due to the incident with the undergarments I was carrying."

Apr 15 05:08:53 <Corinne>	"...Oh, you. Well, why do you want to have lunch with me? I didn't think you were someone who wanted to be my aquaintance." she says, a bit confused.
Apr 15 05:10:42 <Alexandre>	"As a token of good faith. But I would also be pleased to get to know you."
Apr 15 05:11:28 	Corinne sighs. "Well...I suppose I don't have anything else to do. I'll meet you there."
Apr 15 05:12:21 <Alexandre>	"I shall be waiting."
Apr 15 05:14:03 	Corinne halfway-hurries to get ready. She grabs herself one of her new outfits, as well as her usual jacket, and heads out to catch the ferry to Export. Hopefully it'll be a good resteraunt, at least.
Apr 15 05:16:04 	Alexandre is indeed waiting at the docks near export. Something about his demeanor however just... doesn't quite seem the same. He isn't wearing his red arm band or neatly pressed school uniform. Instead he wears a salmon shirt and an unbuttoned black vest with tan jeans.
Apr 15 05:16:34 	Alexandre nods, "Glad to see you showed up."
Apr 15 05:17:52 	Corinne scratches her newly dyed hair. "Huh. I'm glad you recognised me. I was expecting you to be wearing something stuffy. I probably would have walked right past you."
Apr 15 05:18:21 	Garlyle (464dd8bc@sux-11491D6B.mibbit.com) has joined #traineracademy
Apr 15 05:20:20 	Alexandre shakes his head. "That would be a bit unfashionable to wear in a place like this."
Apr 15 05:21:25 	Corinne shrugs. "Well, I guess so. Anyway...Do you have any idea where we're going to eat?"
Apr 15 05:21:28 <Alexandre>	"It gets rather dreary being unable to wear anything with a bit of modern style."
Apr 15 05:23:26 <Alexandre>	"There's a bar and grill I've heard good things about. Or if you prefer, there is always a Ninja Torkoal's Pizza. Their torkoal fired ovens make for good flavor."
Apr 15 05:25:30 <Corinne>	"Whatever you think is best. I'm not a very opinionated person when it comes to food." Corinne says, crossing her arms.
Apr 15 05:26:25 <Alexandre>	"Bar and Grill's closer. That's fine with you then?"
Apr 15 05:27:32 <Corinne>	"Sure, that's good."
Apr 15 05:29:16 	Alexandre leads her there. It's a seaside place, so it really is quite close. You get seated and a waiter comes by to take your orders. "I shall have the Habanero and Bacon Mac & Cheese, and a Beer. Kirin."
Apr 15 05:30:58 <Alexandre>	The waiter turns to Corinne, "And you?"
Apr 15 05:31:59 	Corinne stares at the Menu. "Er...I'll..." she mutters, not really sure.
Apr 15 05:32:42 <Alexandre>	"I'm paying, so feel free to order whatever you like. They have freshly caught seafood."
Apr 15 05:33:27 <Corinne>	"I'll try...Fish and Chips, I suppose? I'll just have water with that."
Apr 15 05:36:15 <Alexandre>	The waiter jots down your order and goes over to the kitchens. Alexandre looks back at you. "Drinking off campus is perfectly permissible if you're concerned about that. So long as you are not in a class or acting disorderly when you return."
Apr 15 05:36:42 <Corinne>	"...Huh?"
Apr 15 05:37:14 <Alexandre>	"You are above the legal limit, are you not?"
Apr 15 05:37:53 <Corinne>	"Well, i'm 16"
Apr 15 05:38:10 <Alexandre>	"Then you're free to do as you please within reason."
Apr 15 05:38:30 <Alexandre>	"Is it different where you are from?"
Apr 15 05:40:05 <Corinne>	"Oh, no. I've just never really felt the need to drink."
Apr 15 05:41:16 <Alexandre>	"I see. In Paixe, it is more common to drink with food to enhance the experience of the meal. There is no technical drinking age. I first had a glass of wine when I was eight."
Apr 15 05:43:02 <Alexandre>	"However, I have an unusually high tolerance anyway. Byproduct of my training."
Apr 15 05:43:04 <Corinne>	"Well...Fine! I'll get some beer then, too."
Apr 15 05:43:32 	Alexandre flags down a waiter and orders another for you, which is brought out with your meals.
Apr 15 05:45:02 <Alexandre>	"Have you trained in any sort of style?"
Apr 15 05:45:50 <Corinne>	"In martial arts? I've trained in a lot of styles, but nowadays i'm working on perfecting my own."
Apr 15 05:47:58 <Alexandre>	"An enriching endeavor to be sure. I trained in Kanto to learn Koga style ninjutsu, in addition to the techniquest hat have been passed down through generations in the Kurita family."
Apr 15 05:48:16 <Alexandre>	techniques that*
Apr 15 05:48:53 <Corinne>	"Mm. I see. Personally, I took a liking to more direct styles a lot more."
Apr 15 05:49:29 <Alexandre>	"I do fencing as well, but it is more of a hobby. One that I am not personally particularly interested in."
Apr 15 05:50:29 <Alexandre>	"In terms of a weapon I'm quite fond of my whip. It has a great deal of utility for a weapon. And of course is legal to carry due to its low lethality."
Apr 15 05:51:50 	Garlyle has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
Apr 15 05:51:53 <Corinne>	"I use my own body. Hard to be disarmed. And people don't expect you to be able to completely disable them with your fists as much as they would some sort of sword or something."
Apr 15 05:53:23 <Alexandre>	"To each their own, I suppose." he takes a long drink of his beer.
Apr 15 05:56:58 <Alexandre>	"I hope that the school can get you a bit closer to your goal."
Apr 15 05:57:30 <Alexandre>	"Do you have others you hope to achieve at this school?"
Apr 15 05:58:54 <Corinne>	"I want to become a Gym leader."
Apr 15 05:59:43 <Alexandre>	"Well, certainly no place better for that."
Apr 15 06:00:20 <Alexandre>	"You seem to have taken quite well to the school."
Apr 15 06:01:00 <Corinne>	"Things have been going alright. I don't know if i'd take it that far."
Apr 15 06:01:13 <Alexandre>	"Still adjusting, then?"
Apr 15 06:02:04 <Corinne>	"Well, i've gotten a new dorm room, and mostly figured out the classes."
Apr 15 06:04:02 <Alexandre>	"It's important to get to know your classmates as well. Being away from family and old friends can make things more difficult."
Apr 15 06:06:15 	Corinne nods. "Well, I think i've become close aquaintances of Ali...something, and Isabella Ironstag."
Apr 15 06:08:07 <Alexandre>	"Ali, hm?"
Apr 15 06:08:19 	Corinne nods
Apr 15 06:08:34 <Alexandre>	"Perhaps being around you could teach him a bit of humbleness."
Apr 15 06:09:40 <Corinne>	"Heh. Maybe. He asked me to marry him, but I talked him down." Corinne says, enjoying a drink of beer.
Apr 15 06:11:15 <Alexandre>	"Good. Hopefully he'll get the picture soon enough."
Apr 15 06:12:28 	Corinne nods. "Mhm. It sounds like he might be my roommate for a while after we graduate, but that's fine with me. He seems like a decent person."
Apr 15 06:13:54 <Alexandre>	"Yes, he simply lacks a bit of noblesse oblige."
Apr 15 06:16:05 <Corinne>	"...Well, whatever that is, i'm sure he's lacking it."
Apr 15 06:19:26 <Alexandre>	"It means that if one claims to be noble they must conduct themselves nobly."
Apr 15 06:19:56 <Alexandre>	"But I am sure that this school shall help him grow."
Apr 15 06:20:33 <Alexandre>	"I have great faith and respect for this Academy. Which is why I have dedicated myself to preserving its order and ensuring that the student body has the best possible learning experience.
Apr 15 06:21:03 	Corinne nods. "Well, i'm sure that's true. If he's a Prince, he's probably used to no one telling him not to do things." she says, before quieting for Alexandre's next line. "...I see. Well, that's nice of you."
Apr 15 06:22:05 <Alexandre>	"Sadly, not everyone views it the same way. But such is life."
Apr 15 06:22:47 	Alexandre starts finishing up the last of his meal. He somehow managed to go through four beers already and still seems just as sober as when the conversation began.
Apr 15 06:23:59 	Corinne has only gone through 3/4th's of a glass and a glass of water, but she's finished eating.
Apr 15 06:24:22 	Alexandre pays for the meal, leaving a very generous tip.
Apr 15 06:25:00 <Alexandre>	"It was quite the pleasure having lunch with you."
Apr 15 06:26:41 	Corinne nods. "You're not as bad as I thought. Thanks for the food."
Apr 15 06:26:50 <Alexandre>	"You know, if you ever reconsider joining the disciplinary committee, you'd make an excellent member."
Apr 15 06:27:59 <Corinne>	"You'd have to tell me more about it. But I might think about it."
Apr 15 06:28:41 	Alexandre nods. "Well then, let's head back to the island I suppose."
Apr 15 06:31:11 <Corinne>	"Sure. Thanks again for the food."
