Pokemaids Side (Sara/Marina)

[23:59]	<GMOwen>	VOICEOVER: Meanwhile, in a different part of the episode, two proactive girl-ladies materialize just outside of Vermilion City.
[00:02]	* [Owen]Marina	rubs her head. She still prefers good old fashioned walking..
[00:03]	* Sara`	holds hers for a moment, as well. Teleporting multiple times, over long distance in a small timeframe is not an easy matter.
[00:05]	* Sara`	takes a deep breath.
[00:05]	<Sara`>	Alright... Take three, I guess.
[00:05]	* Sara`	looks at Marina.
[00:08]	* [Owen]Marina	looks back and rubs Sara's shoulder.
[00:08]	<[Owen]Marina>	"You got this disguise thing under control, now?"
[00:09]	* Sara`	nods.
[00:09]	<Sara`>	I should.
[00:14]	<[Owen]Marina>	"You sure? Test it out; I gotta be convinced."
[00:15]	<Sara`>	Alright. Gimme a sec.
[00:16]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Wanna I should turn around or somethin'?"
[00:16]	<Sara`>	That might help.
[00:17]	* Sara`	doesn't wait for her to turn around before closing her eyes and beginning her focus for the disguise...
[00:17]	* [Owen]Marina	likens it a little to the human concept of changing clothes. She gives Sara her space.
[00:20]	* Sara`	dulls her senses of the outside world, turning her eyes inward to the memory of that hiker girl. Viewing and reviewing her from different angles, she assembles the psychic mirage piece by piece.
[00:20]	* Sara`	. o O ( ... Skin tone... hair... proportions... )
[00:21]	* Sara`	finishes a minute later.
[00:21]	* Sara`	opens her eyes.
[00:21]	<Sara`>	I... think I'm done. Turn around?
[00:22]	* [Owen]Marina	tries to look over her shoulder and fails; giant shell. She looks Sara over and even tips down her sunglasses to get a better look.
[00:23]	* [Owen]Marina	rubs her chin.
[00:23]	* [Owen]Marina	nods.
[00:23]	* Sara`	releases an arm folded across herself.
[00:23]	<Sara`>	... It's alright?
[00:23]	<[Owen]Marina>	"I'm convinced. S'long as they don't stick their nose right up ta you, I think we're good."
[00:24]	* Sara`	smiles.
[00:24]	<Sara`>	Alright!
[00:25]	* [Owen]Marina	starts walking into town, motioning Sara to catch up.
[00:26]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Ya gotta be in front of me, Ms. Trainer~"
[00:26]	* Sara`	's dulled mood disappears with the excitement of her new trick. She moves beside Marina.
[00:26]	<Sara`>	Ahaha...
[00:26]	* Sara`	walks a tiny bit ahead, but not far.
[00:27]	* [Owen]Marina	brings her voice down to a whisper, now. Wouldn't do to see a human talking like a Gardevoir.
[00:28]	<[Owen]Marina>	<{Yah got a master plan for those tickets then, Sara?}>
[00:28]	* Sara`	strides forth, in the self-important way she's seen many trainers do.
[00:29]	* Sara`	whispers back, in her own way:
[00:29]	<Sara`>	<{... I'm winging it a little, but if we could sell the moon stones to a trainer, that'd give us a better chance.}>
[00:31]	* [Owen]Marina	wonders about that...
[00:31]	<[Owen]Marina>	<{Sounds sketchy... Wouldn't a collector be better?}>
[00:32]	<Sara`>	<{If we could find one. It would take longer, though...}>
[00:32]	<Sara`>	<{Hang on, lemme try something.}>
[00:33]	* Sara`	alters her passive trick a little...
[00:34]	<Sara`>	"... Isn't- the sky nice?"
[00:34]	* Sara`	's "speech" miraculously only holds a few faults.
[00:34]	* [Owen]Marina	is taken aback by the illusion of English!
[00:35]	<[Owen]Marina>	<{...Hell yeah, girl, that sky be bitchin'~}>
[00:35]	* [Owen]Marina	thumbs-up.
[00:37]	* Sara`	can't help but clap a little in excitement. o O ( I can't believe it! It works! )
[00:38]	<Sara`>	<{Yeah! Alright. }>
[00:38]	* Sara`	's day, from ups and downs seems now to settle in an upward direction. So far.
[00:39]	* [Owen]Marina	suggests going to the seaside area; there's always trainers congregating there.
[00:39]	<Sara`>	"--So, let's, go blue."
[00:42]	* [Owen]Marina	thinks that is a stupid name for stupid babies, but today is not the best of days to worry!
[00:44]	* Sara`	strides down to the seaside, keeping a lookout for any sign of a buyer.
[00:46]	<GMOwen>	There's loligagging trainers, passengers, and workers in abundance here. It's always a happening place while the ship is at port.
[00:48]	* Sara`	marvels a little at the experience, becoming partially distracted from their task at hand. It's a different perspective!
[00:49]	* Sara`	waves at a random passerby, just to see.
[00:50]	* [Owen]Marina	remembers the many times she's been here. Being free is ALSO a different perspective.
[00:51]	<GMOwen>	The passerby could care less; she's got errands to run and doesn't care about strangers.
[00:53]	<[Owen]Marina>	<{Let's keep it real here, Sara. Don't wanna attract too much attention now.}>
[00:54]	<Sara`>	<{er-right. Sorry.}>
[00:55]	* Sara`	gathers some breath and tries a daring tactic...
[00:55]	<Sara`>	"Moon Stone sale!"
[00:58]	<GMOwen>	There's too much chatter for such a tactic to be of much good, but as luck would have it a single middle-aged man walks up, interested.
[01:01]	* Sara`	is surprised by the man's appearance. Even if this is a mission with a specific cause and guise, no one usually responds!
[01:01]	<Sara`>	"-hello!"
[01:02]	<GMOwen>	Gentleman Carl: "Good day, young lady. Did I heard you were selling Moon Stones?"
[01:03]	* Sara`	nods, a little too eager.
[01:03]	<Sara`>	"Yes! Sale."
[01:03]	<GMOwen>	The man is a little skeptical, but she's decked out like a hiker, so perhaps it's legit. The older generation must encourage the new, after all.
[01:04]	<GMOwen>	Gent Carl: "Might I see the stones in question, miss?"
[01:05]	* Sara`	nods again.
[01:05]	* [Owen]Marina	approves of gentlemen. They have mustaches!
[01:06]	* Sara`	scrambles through her pockets, pulling a few from them.
[01:11]	<GMOwen>	The gentleman observes them. They're definitely the real deal. A little small, though; might have to buy several to trigger an evolution in his Clefairy...
[01:14]	<GMOwen>	Gent Carl: "Hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm..."
[01:14]	* Sara`	gathers all that they have into her hands, then looking at the man.
[01:14]	<Sara`>	"En-ough?"
[01:15]	<GMOwen>	Gent Carl: "Quite a collection you've got there, miss, yes indeed... Not dangerous work, I trust, excavating?"
[01:16]	* Sara`	shakes her head.
[01:16]	<Sara`>	"Not very; not much."
[01:17]	<GMOwen>	GM: The man points out three smaller-sized stones from the bunch.
[01:19]	<Sara`>	"Buy?"
[01:21]	<GMOwen>	Gent Carl: "10,000."
[01:22]	* Sara`	's eyes widen.
[01:22]	* [Owen]Marina	nudges Sara discretely and looks up with her eyes. Ask for more, 10,000 is a bad price!
[01:23]	* Sara`	glances at Marina.
[01:23]	<Sara`>	<{What would be better, then...}>
[01:23]	* [Owen]Marina	shakes her head; don't look at the Pokemon, look at the man!
[01:24]	* Sara`	turns back to him.
[01:24]	<Sara`>	"... More."
[01:25]	<GMOwen>	GM: The man rubs his mustache... Such a rude girl.
[01:25]	* Sara`	sees his response, and explains herself.
[01:26]	<Sara`>	"Ten, not fair."
[01:27]	<GMOwen>	GM: The man's skepticism increases.
[01:28]	<GMOwen>	Gent Carl: "...never mind, miss. Perhaps another day. Sorry to have bothered you."
[01:28]	<GMOwen>	The man tries to graciously put some distance between them.
[01:28]	<Sara`>	"Wait."
[01:29]	* Sara`	, aware of the balance, tries to call him back without seeming too desperate...
[01:29]	<GMOwen>	The man has already vanished into the crowd. It's a lost cause...
[01:29]	* [Owen]Marina	shakes her head. Oh well.
[01:30]	* Sara`	loses a little spirit. o O ( dammit... )
[01:30]	<[Owen]Iris>	"...Guess I never taught you chicks how to haggle."
[01:31]	* [Owen]Iris	is disappoint, standing behind the two of them, as she had been for some time.
[01:31]	<Sara`>	Eh?
[01:31]	* Sara`	lets pokespeak slip, utterly surprised. She turns around.
[01:32]	<Sara`>	Ir- "-Iris!?"
[01:32]	* [Owen]Iris	is smirking her normal unconcerned smirk.
[01:32]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Sup."
[01:33]	* [Owen]Marina	turns to the fabled Iris, and nods her head in acknowledgment.
[01:33]	* Sara`	laughs and smiles.
[01:34]	<Sara`>	<It's great to see you again!>
[01:34]	<Sara`>	<Um, I hope this isn't too jarring after so long?>
[01:34]	* [Owen]Iris	is not fooled by the human disguise; Marina gave it away. She still can't see through it, however.
[01:34]	* [Owen]Iris	points to her ear.
[01:35]	<Sara`>	<Oh, and this is Marina- huh?>
[01:35]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Can't understand shit, Sara. They took away the translator, remember?"
[01:37]	<[Owen]Iris>	"What the hell are you doing here?!"
[01:37]	<Sara`>	(Oh, sorry. Uh, I got a little excited. It's great to see you again.)
[01:37]	* [Owen]Iris	isn't rude, just surprised.
[01:37]	<Sara`>	(Looking for you, actually.)
[01:37]	* Sara`	takes a quick look around, wondering if her accidental blurt of native speak caught any eyes or ears...
[01:38]	<GMOwen>	Everyone else has their own business to attend to. They're safe.
[01:39]	* Sara`	looks at Iris again.
[01:39]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Me? The hell for? Thought they forced me to retire from you bitches. Bastards..."
[01:39]	* [Owen]Iris	is still a little sore.
[01:40]	* Sara`	frowns.
[01:41]	<Sara`>	(I... never liked their decision. We've been making do.)
[01:42]	* [Owen]Iris	shrugs.
[01:42]	<Sara`>	(We wanted to sell these off.)
[01:42]	* Sara`	opens her palm, revealing a few of the moonstones.
[01:43]	* [Owen]Iris	inspects said stones.
[01:44]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Came to the right place, didn't ya? Them's tourist traps for sure; damn small little things, you'd need three to make somethin' evolve I bet."
[01:44]	* Sara`	nods.
[01:45]	<Sara`>	(We couldn't get much, but maybe money would help us get by.)
[01:45]	<Sara`>	(Something.)
[01:45]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Where's the rest, anyways?"
[01:45]	* Sara`	pulls more out of her pocket.
[01:46]	* [Owen]Iris	rolls her eyes.
[01:46]	<Sara`>	<Marina, did you carry any?>
[01:46]	<[Owen]Iris>	"No, not, not that... hell... I meant the girls."
[01:47]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Or's it just you two?"
[01:48]	<Sara`>	(Oh.)
[01:48]	* Sara`	smiles.
[01:49]	<Sara`>	(Sorry. There are more of us, now.)
[01:49]	* [Owen]Iris	smiles back.
[01:49]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Regular harem or some shit, is it?"
[01:50]	* Sara`	puts her hands on her hips.
[01:51]	<Sara`>	(We're a group of friends that happen to like traveling free.)
[01:53]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Well, bring 'em on down; 'spect you ain't got the cash to buy a ticket."
[01:53]	<[Owen]Iris>	"I'm off work the rest a' the day."
[01:54]	<Sara`>	(Everyone at once?)
[01:54]	<Sara`>	(I think we'd make a little stir... )
[01:54]	* [Owen]Iris	shrugs.
[01:54]	<[Owen]Iris>	"Well, whoever. Damn if I care. I'll take what I can get these days."
[01:55]	<Sara`>	(Well, it's fine by me. If we move through quickly, it shouldn't be a problem.)
[01:58]	<GMOwen>	[And then there's a scene transition of some sort.]
