Emerald laughed ss they were all drenched from head to toe. He
looked around. “I kinda feel lazy~.” He laughed cheerfully as he
looked around the edges of a pool...ah! There was a bar there!
"Want something to eat or drink?" Fortem offered the others.
Swimming around had made him a little peckish. Audax grinned shyly.
"If that's fine with you, then yes, please." His drenched ears hung
limply beside his face, and he shook his head to dry them slightly.
"Dibs on paying in advance," Fortem smiled at Emerald
mischievously, as if he'd just made a joke.
“I don’t think so, you rascal.” Emerald grinned, despite knowing
full well it was free. He went over and sat on a bar stool....it
all felt so tropical. He went ahead and ordered a lemonade. It was
different to the one in Luminia
Fortem and Audax got the same thing. "This isn't Heaven Berry
lemonade," Fortem remarked. "Or maybe it is, but they added
something..." He took a hearty sip. Either way, it was still super
good! Audax took small, delicate sips of his lemonade, enjoying the
flavour.
“Nah definitely different.” Emerald smiled. “It’s sweet and
refreshing but it doesn’t have that tickling sensation in your
stomach.” Speaking of which...once Emerald was done, he went to
nuzzle Fortem’s belly
“Time flies right?” Emerald said happily. “Because it seems like
everyone’s getting ready.” Morning seemed to have passed fairly
quickly with the amount, and the party atmosphere seem to have
picked up. Some people have even begun dressing up in either samba
costumes or regular party costumes
Fortem felt a little out of place amidst all of the flamboyant,
tropical costumes. Peering at the pokemon walking around the
resort, he noticed floral dresses and headpieces, glimmering
costumes, and all sort of other island-y things pokemon had to
wear.
It wasn’t just the floral costumes, there were definitely costumes
fit for a fancy dress party instead. Nobility,
knights...scientists...it was nuts.
Emerald looked around. “Wow...the party costumes...the dabce
costumes...there’s still others who are going without
costume...that’s the spirit!” He lsaid excitedly
“Mhm! Yeah! We don’t have to dress up if you don’t want to, you
just have to take part! That’s the spirit after all!” Emerald said
to them both. “Don’t worry about making a fool of yourselves,
because no one will judge and everyone will join in!”
Fortem and Audax nodded shyly. Both felt like a magikarp out of
water when it came to dancing... But they supposed Emerald was
right. "Where are the main events talking place?" Audax asked.
“Oh alright Fortem, just this once.” He grinned. He then took out
the map from earlier and began scanning it for the lessons. “Ah it
takes place in the entertainment theatre. The lessons anyway. It’s
25 Bronze Real per person, per hour...”
"Alright, let's go Audax!" Emerald said happily as he began making
his way to the theatre. Actually. No. First of all, he showered
himself off and dried himself. Then he'd wait for the others
Fortem and Audax did the same, washing off in their rooms, and
drying up. Fortem brought his money pouch to the theatre with him,
and met up with Audax on the way there. After losing their way
once, the pair arrived at the theatre.
The theatre was fairly crowded. In one part of the hall was face
painting, the other part were the dance lessons. It seems as though
the lessons were just about to start though
