NOELANI'S ARM JOLTED UP FROM HER SIDE, stretching out stiff in a frantic effort to retain balance as she teetered backward. Brows pinched lightly over her eyes as her lips puckered in disapproval, a sharp sting burning at her scalp as the Meowth roosted on her shoulder sank his claws into her pillowy green hair to anchor himself.
[break][break]
There was a soft breath of relief as her descent was halted by her newfound, awkward posture, muscles rigid as she stood rolled up onto her toes, gaze turning tentatively toward the ground to ensure it wasn't slipping from view. An irritable grunt from the partner still gripping at her skull signaled the beginning of a cautious attempt to ease her heels to the pavement, her spine carefully righting itself as her arm withdrew back toward her body cautiously. She noted a passing stranger make a wide berth at her side, quite possibly made uncomfortable by her awkward situation.
[break][break]
Kogane had filled the Alolan bumpkin with a sense of awe and wonder, curious eyes having inspired the unwise decision to lean back in an attempt to pick out the tops of the glimmering buildings from the clouds. It came as a loss when she found herself incapable of the feat, as shown by the tightening of her brows and the brief, reflective closing of her eyes. With his human perch now stable beneath him, Kitten's eyes had already turned languidly to scan the city's streets, attention drifting from one shiny bauble to another as everyone went about their daily lives, his curled tail flicking back and forth eagerly as the gears of his mind worked to crank out a new scheme.
[break][break]
His line of sight was broken by an unexpected shift in the woman's weight, feline lips bowing in dissatisfaction as his trainer started forward again, closing the distance between them and their destination. She slowed to a stop once she'd reached the entrance of the city's infamous skyscraping mall, attention caught.
[break][break]
❝ Excuuuse meee~ ❞ Noelani murmured out in a sweetly-toned drawl, her hand reaching lightly to touch at the elbow of an unfamiliar, notably well-dressed figure enraptured by one posters placed along the department store's window. The door's bell rang softly as another trainer passed by behind her, signalling their entry into the skyscraping structure.
[break][break]
❝ Do you want to help me? ❞ The bikini'd woman's lips turned in a hopeful smile as she cant her head, lids looming sleepily over her eyes. Kitten, still leaned against his trainer's head, kept his eyes toward the window - hungry gaze following after the figure having just passed through the building's entrance.

 | Kogane had always been a place Oswald heard about whether through friends and associates that had been there or from conversations he overheard in passing. Regardless of what the source was the common sentiment among most people was that the city was a marvel that anyone who was visiting Johto had to see. Oswald was used to gossip like this, hell gossip was a big part of his life at one point, and like a lot of gossip and rumors they often disappointed. It was why Oswald was excited to come to Kogane outside of a few other reasons he had.
Memories of his home city rushed through his mind as he entered the metropolis. All of his senses were assaulted, dragging him in different directions and taunting him. It was one of the trademark signs that you were in a bustling city such as Kogane for the first time. Despite being used to such surroundings, Oswald let himself get absorbed a bit by everything that was going on around him. There wasn’t much of a point to not have fun with this visit and it was a good break from hiking for himself and his Pokémon, of which Sol was walking with him.
Oswald, in typical Oswald fashion, made a list of things they had to do before they left the city. Of course at the top of the list was visiting the famous Goldenrod Radio Tower, followed by checking out the Magnet Train. There were a few food places to visit and then the Game Corner, Oswald making note not to spend too much time and more importantly money there. He was a bit proud of his itinerary and if they followed it to the tee there’d be nothing missed, making it the perfect day. But of course things never go exactly as planned.
Going to the mall that seemingly towered over everything was of course a part of the plan but wasn’t part of the plan was getting distracted by something. A the side of the building was plastered with a litter of different advertisements and posters and one in particular caught Oswald’s eye. ”I can’t believe it! They have the new custom fishing rods I’d been looking for! Just look at that craftsmanship!” Oswald gushed, now completely enamored with the contents of the poster. He was taken out of this spell at the feeling of something smooth on his elbow.
Turning around the first thing he noticed was the Meowth resting on the person before him. ”Is that an Alolan Meowth variant?!” Now this was a rare find! Oswald immediately went to work, quickly taking out his journal and getting a quick sketch of the Pokémon. Sol, who had been watching this entire debacle tugged on his trainer’s clothes, trying to get him to remember the fact t hat he was asked for help. ”Oh! Right! Sorry about that! Name’s Oswald Pendragon, nice to meet you! This is such a beautiful Meowth you have. Did you find it here in Johto or are you perhaps an Alola native visiting Johto?”
Every now and then Oswald would enter these hyperactive states, something he picked up from his mother. His Charmander companion was used to these episodes and was the one that typically pulled him out of it. Again the Charmander tugged on Oswald, this time letting out a small cry to get him to realize the situation. ”Oh?! Right! Right! You said you needed help with something? I’d love to help you.” It was then that Oswald got a good look at the woman in front of him. Noticing her attire the trainer tilted his head a bit; did she just come from the beach?

NOELANI COULD ONLY BLINK as the stranger whipped himself around and hurried to procure his notebook. Her gaze fell toward the blank page as he drew out the first couple lines of her Meowth's depiction before slowly dragging itself back up to peer into his eyes, entirely lost as to what he was trying to accomplish. Kitten, previously busied with tracking a new prize, lost sight of his mark when they disappeared through the elevator doors; his bored gaze rolling lazily to see what episode his trainer would be inspiring now.
[break][break]
The corner's of the cat's lips fell low as his attention dropped toward the developing artwork being scratched out by the excited stranger. He turned his face away, brows pinching with disapproval over his eyes as he held his free paw toward Oswald in very clear direction. 'No pictures, please.'
[break][break]
The young woman was quickly overwhelmed by the man's wild energy, her wishful smile settling into a weak frown as she was rattled with questions. She pulled back a bit, a hand moving languidly to bury its fingers in her thick, dark green locks and ease back through them in a soothing motion. Her bangs shuffled over her eyes as she breathed out softly through her nose, fingers lifting themselves from her silky threads of hair and lingering to hover over her head, allowing the strands to fall slowly back into place.
[break][break]
❝ Yeah, ❞ the researcher answered gently, nodding her head a bit as her arm dropped to rest limp at her side. His rapid fire questions seemed to be ignored as she went directly to her point. ❝ I thought you might help me pick a dress? I'm going to the masquerade in Kikyo City. ❞
[break][break]
She couldn't help but laugh softly at her situation, a drowsy smile working its way back to her expression with ease.
[break][break]
❝ I'm not sure what to look for. ❞

| Oswald smiled as he caught notice of the Meowth’s disapproval of his sketching, finding it rather cute. He couldn’t say he had much experience with Alolan variants, only coming across them a few times in his experience. Such a chance like this could not go wasted and while Oswald wanted nothing better to do than study this Meowth he could clearly see that right now was not the time. He’d keep this in mind for later, perhaps he could ask its trainer more question such as what were its dietary habits were like to compare what he thought it was like.
”A dress? Masquerade?” something about a masquerade in Kikyo City did sound vaguely familiar to Oswald but he couldn’t exactly put his finger on it. However the idea of going shopping to help find someone a stunning dress to make all the heads turn was more than enough to get Oswald on board with helping her! If it wasn’t for his younger days in the entertainment industry and fashion being an important key there he probably wouldn’t have such the interest as he does now. But who knows really, it could have easily just been something he was interested in just because.
Oswald gave the bikini clad woman a look over, figuring what he was working with today. She was most certainly a catch, and would probably look good in any sort of dress but the right one would have to be found to do her justice. And a masquerade ball sounded like a lot of fun, such mystique and elegance. Just thinking about it made Oswald smile, all sorts of ideas running through his mind. But of course, at the end of the day it was the lady’s choice when it came to the dress. His role was to only suggest what he thought would work.
”I would absolutely love to help! A masquerade?! Those are great! The attire, the atmosphere! Man, that can be a hell of lot of fun!” Oswald was clearly giddy about the idea, almost as if he was the one going instead of her. ”Now, now! Let’s not waste any time! Let’s go! We’re going to find you the most beautiful dress that we can, people won’t be able to take their eyes off of you.” Oswald wasn’t completely familiar with the layout of this mall but it’d be easy enough to figure their way around.
Seeing how big and glamorous this place was and looked, Oswald could easily tell that this place was probably going to be expensive. But luckily for our maiden she had Oswald Pendragon with her and he’d be able to tell if the price was worth the dress as he had a keen eye for that sort of thing.

THE MAN'S ENTHUSIASM made her smile, an airy giggle rocking her shoulders as he encouraged her to move inside. Kitten gave an exhausted sigh at the man's energy, his paw dropping to rest itself against his hip.[break][break]
❝ You've been to one before? ❞ she questioned as she took a small step back, a hand reaching to open the door only for the automatic system to slide them open without any effort on the scientist's part. She paused as a cool gust of air rolled out from inside the air conditioned building, her eyes turning toward the store in faint surprise. Her gaze drew down toward the gold-tiled floor, soft lips parted in awe as she gazed the area over in fascination. Slowly her bright green eyes pulled toward the ceiling, curious of every detail the building had to offer as she ventured slowly inside.[break][break]
❝ I've never been to a masquerade, ❞ she continued, her eyes everywhere but on her fellow trainer as she soaked in the sights. It took her a moment to satisfy her curiosity, lips settling shut as they drew into a gentle smile, her eyes turning back toward Oswald.[break][break]
❝ Um? ❞ she ventured curiously, her gaze searching the man up and down with a hopeful gleam. ❝ It seems really big, ❞ she pointed out, her eyes turning up toward the ceiling. ❝ Do you know your way around? ❞[break][break]
Kitten shook his head at his trainer's ineptitude, tapping a foot to the base of her neck to get her attention as he pointed a hand to the elevator. His tail bobbed slowly to one side as he stared toward it, his paw dropping to rest back at his hip as he waited to get the whole episode over with.
