“Like I say, you gotta be prepared for these things!” It was typical for the redhead to say these things, his more hasty nature made his actions quicker without proper thought, it made him appear younger than he actually was most of the time. He looked past Cress and saw a somewhat busy street that usually had some interesting places to go. “Lets head that way then!” An arm swiftly raised up and pointed out past his brothers shoulder, another old habit that stayed with him.

His head nodded in regards to Cress’s comment, he personally thought that it would give him a confidence boost. “Yup, I dunno much about her though and he’s not sure what to say around her, she comes off kinda tsun-ish to him mostly so I heard.. If you know what I mean.” It probably didn’t help Cilan that he listened to Chili’s advice, it was more of a gamble which could end up bad rather than a guaranteed success, it couldn’t be helped though. His eyebrows raised, giving a quick thought if there was actually somebody. “..Nah, not that I can think of.” While they were on the subject, he felt that he had to ask the question himself. “What about you then? Anyone I need to know about?” Arms folding around his chest, he gave a brief grin with his questions.

[glassfullmemory-blog]

His deep blue eyes followed along the path his brother had pointed out. It looked awfully crowded, he himself would probably run into a few people, nothing drastic would happen but it still have him a slight chill about it. Though if Chili recommended had something in mind from that direction then he wouldn't mind, especially since the ginger's tastes were usually in the right place. Usually. "I wonder where it is that you're interested in taking us. Or better yet if you are craving something.."

Hearing of their older brother and his possible love interest was almost as if the two had been with the greenet, almost. Not exactly. He really did miss him. Maybe he should visit him someday. He really should call.  Cress looked over at his brother, his question... He was very much not expecting to be asked that. It's not like he had anything to hide. Especially since there was nothing. The water-type specialist just didn't have an attraction towards anyone he had met, or anyone he had mingled with. It just didn't really click with him. Or at least he thought so. Though with the goofy look on his brother's face, would be disappointed at the answer? He chuckled, shaking his head slightly. "If there was someone.. My little fan club would be pretty disappointed. We wouldn't want that."

[serving-it-hot]

Chili gave a quick nod at the remark made, feeling somewhat better that he was described to be acting more healthy, it was better than being called lazy even if that statement was the truth. “Yeah, well.. I gotta stay sharp and ready for anything!” He found it to be the best reason that would actually make sense besides training, then again they could both work well together.

The redhead turned his head around to many different directions as he was allowed to decide where to go, he was kind of excited with the amount of options that could happen, when he had the option to choose then it would feel like nothing could get properly picked out. “Oh yeah, Cilan’s been fine, he’s kinda got his eyes on someone but doesn’t know how to approach it, I dunno if it was safe to tell you but people have gotta know these things.” It was typical of the redhead to send out some gossip some things with a few people.

[glassfullmemory-blog]

"Always ready I see." The water specialist lowered his head, smiling to himself, it was fun to see his siblings running around. Not like back when they were kids but close to it. Probably the highlight of the moment was that the two had not gotten into any sort of argument. Fortunately. Hopefully it would last all day. Though, it was still too early to tell what little event could happen close by.

The blue eyes's face lit up slightly, a surprised look crossing his face at the mention of their older brother. "Really? That's something.. I never thought that he would be the type to have... An eye on someone as you say. Maybe this would do him some good." Cress had been worried about the greenet, when was it the last time the two had talk? Hearing this was news. Interesting. Something. He crossed his arms, his index finger trailing down his arm. "This.. really is something." A chuckle escaped past his lips as he nodded a bit. "How about you? ... Do you have your eyes out on someone?"

Janine witnessed the bartender as he sent out a monkey pokemon. He and the monkey kind of resembled a human/pokemon team she knew, although she couldn’t put her finger on it right away.

The purplette continued to eagerly watch the scene, on her feet, ready to jump in in case the roughnecks decided to team up against him. Luckily they stopped brawling and upon returning their pokemon to their balls, dispersed. The crowd began to shrink, but the ninja couldn’t keep her eyes off of the blunette. For someone so much smaller than the two, he was so cool, calm, and collected during the fight. How could he do that?

She decided to approach him. He was even prettier up close, but in a way, different the pretty-boy looks Cilan and Chili had. Now that she thought about it, this boy kind of resembled a more feminine version of Cilan and Chili, with alternate colors. Suddenly it clicked! He had a monkey that was similar to Cilan’s! What if this was their lost brother? Janine shook her head. Cilan said he had no idea where his third brother was and how could they have never seen each other if they were both in the same city?

She then realized she was staring too long. She quickly bowed, trying to be polite. “S-sorry. I was just… thinking about something! By the way, that was so cool how you were able to stop them like that!”

[glassfullmemory-blog]

Wiping his hands off his pants, it really was a pain to deal with these sorts of trouble that happened, especially right in front of the bar. His gaze shifted around the crowd, it was quite a few, hopefully they did not think that it started inside. It would be bad if business was slow. It would look bad on him, especially since he liked this little side job of his.

Just as he was about to take a turn and wander back inside he spotted a short, dark, purple-like figure. At first he thought it was possible he was imagining things. It was late, he had not gotten much sleep these past few days. Yeah. That's what it was. Though, it was not until he opened his eyes he saw the deep purples staring at him. It made him nervous at how they stared, one would think he'd be used to it by now.. But not in the slightest. "How... Can I help you?" He asked, raising a brow at her.

The way the girl apologized was cute. Adorable in a strange sort of way. He looked over at the girl, she looked interesting, especially with that outfit of hers. The compliments she gave, was she really watching from the beginning? Possibly. He shrugged, "It was nothing really. These sorts of thing are easy to get rid of.. They're just a pain."

Cress chuckled, leaning in closer to get a look at the ninja. "You know.. You're pretty cute."

[serving-it-hot]

“You know it!” Chili was slightly oblivious to the obvious joke that was made, though when he realized that he was going to be late he did rush, it was obvious he was tired but he didn’t want to give his brother the satisfaction of being right on the manner.

Eyes focused on Cress as they observed him up and down, he was still the same as ever in terms of body style, at least he wasn’t dangerously thin like a certain green haired person. “What do you mean by that? I see you haven’t changed much.” He wasn’t sure whether it was in terms of height of weight, not much of a major change between them but still he was cautious on what was meant.

The mention of food got the redheads eyes to open in excitement, “Awesome, so where you thinking of going? There’s loads of places to go round here.” There were more than plenty of buildings with places to eat, not as great as back home admittedly, food was food though and as long as it was edible then the redhead would be happy about it. 

[glassfullmemory-blog]

The blunet was more so impressed that the ginger was able to make his way out, obviously late, but still so very.. Composed in a way. He chuckled slightly at Chili, it was most certainly the way he phrased it that seemed to catch his attention. "I didn't mean anything bad by it.. It's more like.. You seem to be more.. Healthy I guess is the right word." Cress stated, giving a quick nod. "More or less at least."

Gently placing a finger upon his cheek, he paused for a moment. A location of where to meet up had not crossed his mind before meeting up with his brother. Surely he was a tad bit picky, but seeing as he did not really know much the eatery of Castelia, it would be best to leave it up to the energetic redhead. "You can pick, whatever it is that you're in the mood for, I'm okay with eating it." A small smile cross his face, turning slightly to view his brother, "Your taste.. And Cilan's have always been the best. Speaking of him.. I haven't seen him in a while."

Would you like some tea?

[paralykiss-deactivated20121218]

She walked where he directed, sitting promptly. It was true; there wasn’t much to be picky on where to sit about in a café. Especially when it was late and she wouldn’t be there for too long.

He seemed to be happy with the choice of order, his light attitude made her quite happy as well. Relaxing, she listened to his suggestion intently. “Mint it will be then. I’d also like a brownie of some sort.” Shauntal added. Treating herself from time to time was always a pleasure.

She noticed his eyes roam over her outfit. It was quite a normal reaction; she knew her choice of dress wasn’t the most usual. “Well, if you’re a trainer you might hope to dally your chances in the league.” She hinted at her profession.

Shauntal folded her hands together, placing her elbows on the counter, only to rest her chin on her hands. “To be honest you look quite familiar as well, I think I’ve read about this café in the news many times, many awards. Though strangely I’ve never visited, I’m quite happy to have stumbled upon here by chance.” She sounded quite excited.

[glassfullmemory-blog]

Walking over to the espresso machine, filling it up a fair amount to serve the her the cappuccino and a similar amount of milk in the milk heater. He gave a nod as she mentioned a brownie, it was a good thing they made a batch earlier that day. "Coming right up." He chuckled, making his way to the kitchen. Wandering back to the front, he placed a small plate in front of her. "We only have chocolate brownies at the moment. If that's alright with you that is."

"A trainer in that will stumble upon the league you say." He looked up at her, his hands now browsing around the selections of cups they had available while waiting for the liquids to be just right. Picking a small, earth tone cup, one of his favorite ones at that. "Hmm.. I know our current champion is sweet little Iris. Hmm.. I would say you're a member of the Elite Four. You can correct me if I am wrong."

"You know.. It is very much possible that you may have seen this cafe on the news sometimes. It has gotten quite some recognition. It is actually impressive." He nodded. "I'm glad that you are enjoying yourself, it is cozy, and we try to make it the best kind of environment for our customers. If you are craving something else, feel free to let me know."

"Fennel. Yes. I remember her. She would sometimes stop by at the Cafe back in Striaton. She is an interesting person, we did talk a few times but not that often. She did tell stories about her research that did catch my attention. It would have been nice to get to know her some more."

The young ninja sat outside of a restaurant, a small blush on her face, as she waited for Cilan to get out of work. She would never openly admit it, but she was looking forward to seeing him again. It was a good thing it was night though, because at least the color on her cheeks wouldn’t be as noticeable and hopefully no one would notice her attempts at putting on eyeliner. Not that there was any special reason for it - they were only hanging out and Janine was ready to punch anyone who thought otherwise.

She was getting bored with sitting around - there were about 15 minutes left before his shift was over, so she decided to walk around Nimbasa City. It was a pretty quiet night. Maybe something fun would happen! Maybe a fight will break out! Janine giggled, thinking about the possibilities.

Suddenly, she heard some screaming. Running to follow the commotion, Janine noticed two roughnecks duking it out as their Scrafty and Krookodile fought in a similar manner next to them. No one seemed to be doing anything though. I should break this up! The purplette ran faster through the crowd of people, pokeball in hand, but before she could do anything, it seemed someone else beat her to it.

[glassfullmemory-blog]

"Break it up you two." The blue-haired nodded at the two males who argued at the counter of the bar. Cress had not really been paying much attention of what exactly the argument was about, it was most likely over something stupid. Bar arguments usually are. He had planned on just ignoring hopefully that it would die out soon. And like most.. It looked like it would not. 

"Honestly you two. You're acting like a bunch of brats." Cress began to hiss, by this point they were starting to be get physical and all up on each other. Take it outside! Someone yelled at them. They wouldn't actually take it that far would they? Unfortunately for him. Yes. Yes they would. "Ah.. Not here. You're going to scare awa--" He paused in mid track, noticing that they had already left the bar floor and clashing sounds were heard outside. There were not really many customers inside which was good, but outside surely they'll scare away a few. This would not be good for business. 

Taking a step outside, he spotted the two and their partners. Both fairly strong looking. It's not like he was gonna fight them directly. Just get them to stop. There was a crowd starting to form, and it was right outside the bar. Not being able to ignore the situation any longer, Cress dried his hands up before grabbing a Pokeball out of his apron's pocket. "Looks like you'll be unable to get that break you've deserve." Clicking Pokeball, the beam soon after calling out his long time friend. "Simipour. Cool their heads some." He waved his hands, soon after pointing at all four. The elemental monkey launched the strong pressured water on them all. Their flinching was slightly amusing. "You all better stop this. It's going to kill the number of clients tonight. And that is not good for business. If you all make one more move. I'll make sure the next attack wont be so.. Refreshing."

[serving-it-hot]

The redhead was running a bit late due to a nap that went on slightly longer than he thought, he was making sure that this incident didn’t make him too late, then again Cress is hardly one to get mad since he was more a less used to it, the weather at this point was against him since it had the potential to rain and pour down, which was essentially bad news for him.

Finally making it to the Plaza both hands in his pocket looking around until he finally spotted his brother, an arm raised up with a flat hand signalling his arrival, eyes still somewhat focused to the weather with a frown, trying to literally shake it off. “Oh hey Cress, yeah it’s been some time, huh?” An arm bent and made a stretch to reach around the back of the redheads neck to give it a quick scratch, hoping he didn’t feel something hit it. “I’m not too bad, just the usual stuff with me, how bout you?” Not a lot could be said on Chili’s side since nothing too out the ordinary happened, he could mention some things but that would be best left for later on.

[glassfullmemory-blog]

"It's good to see you're still up and active." He smirked at his brother. It was very much nice to see him again, but he could not help but get the urge to taunt him slightly. No. No. That would not be good right now. They're somewhat grown up now. It would not be good to act the same way they did when they were kids. 

Cress took a good look at him. He really had grown quite a bit; possibly in more ways than one in his opinion, from the last time they had been together. "You've sure grown quite a bit." He chuckled at the idea of sounding like the relatives that would repeat the same lines over and over. Cilan probably also has grown quite a bit. It had been some time since he's seen him as well. Maybe Chili had seen him.

There was a feeling of something wet had traveled down the back of his neck. Was it beginning to rain? By the looks of it the redhead did not seem to notice. It probably was for the best. "Come come. Let's go get lunch. I still haven't eaten today. I am getting kind of hungry." He waved his hand slightly, beckoning him to follow. In all honesty, he did not really know much of the local restaurants. He just wanted to avoid the possible showers. 

[glassfullmemory-blog]

The day was cloudy and it very much looked like it could rain at any point. Maybe it would have been better to pick another day to meet up with his fiery brother. But seeing as they both were busy with their current lives it was hard to arrange to meet in the first place. 

Cress had been waiting at the Central Plaza. The spot the two had agreed to meet up at. What exactly they were gonna do that day, they had not really plan. Possibly just lunch and catch up a bit. Anything really. Just to make sure he was doing well. It surprised him some at the crowd of people standing around the dancers. He would have imagined most would have taken shelter at what looked like a possible storm would come brewing in.

There was a small jolt flow through him. "Hnn. It's been a while." Smiled the water-type specialist as the redhead made his presence known. It was nothing dramatic or anything of that sort. The area just felt a tad bit warmer than it usually was. It was not much of a difference, but the blue-eyed was somewhat sensitive to these sorts of things. "Chili. How have you been?"

[glassfullmemory-blog]

[ Cilan. ]

"Cilan. I was also expecting this." The boy chuckled over the clear memories of his green-haired brother. "We both get along well. He is very much the peacemaker between Chili and I. His sort of behavior is very much one that we both enjoy being around. Cilan is very skilled with his hands which is something that did help around at the shop when we ran it together. We all were good at it. He was just better at it. Cilan was usually better at most things. He just needed a bit more... Confidence."

Pausing for a moment, shifting his pose some. "Brother did have a stuttering problem. I wonder if he has gotten over that. Now that I think about it. I wonder how he's doing. It's been a while since we've met up. " 

[glassfullmemory-blog]

Chili

"One of my brothers? I was expecting this." The boy chuckled, placing a finger on the side of his face. It should not be hard to say much about him, he did grow up with the fiery redhead. There were quite a few things he could say but where exactly to begin. 

"Like most siblings, we look out after each other. Making sure one is not getting into too much trouble. Which as much as we would hate to admit it it occurred more often then needed."

"We do get into quite a few fights. Those sorts of scenarios are expected between siblings. Though compared to Cilan and I... Chili and I fight a bit more often. Usually it is over some trivial things. Such as why were there socks lying out in the middle of the floor. The stains in the kitchen. I'll admit it... I am a bit OCD about cleanliness." A small smirk crossed his face. "It has been a while since I have been on his case about that."

[paralykiss-deactivated20121218]

The night was her favourite part of the day. It was cool, chill, quiet, not to mention her dark attire stood out less in the darkness. She passed by a nice café walking right past it, so she amusingly walked back a bit. There was still another in there and it was quite late… But maybe… Maybe she could indulge herself with a quick hot drink.

The bell chimed with her entrance, looking forward, her first instinct to find a seat. That was until the friendly waiter spoke up immediately with a friendly and practiced greeting. How darling he looked. She’d seem him before, yes, in the paper, this café was well known in the area. She’d never met, met him before though.

Shauntal nodded at his greeting.

“Thank you, I’m looking for something warm and simple to drink. A cappuccino perhaps? What flavour do you suggest?” She asked softly. The mood in the café was very much like a library. Not one for raised voices.

[glassfullmemory-blog]

He made his way around and walked towards her, carefully he moved his free hand over and gestured over to the counter. It was not a usual spot that most clients would pick on their own, but it would help him give her a more attention and be able to attend to her without much trouble. She did not appear to be too picky in these sorts of thing. Maybe it would have been better to ask.

"You have come to the right place." A genuine smiled crossed his face, drinks were his specialty. He was more sure that he'd be able to make something that will be more suitable for the women's taste.

"Cappuccino you say." The male gave a quick nod as he waited for her to take seat. "The popular flavors tend to be vanilla, caramel and mocha. Though... I prefer mint. It gives that nice refreshing taste." A small chuckle escape from him. "I would very much recommend mint. Personal preference."

His eyes moved along the female that stood in front of him. Her choice of outfit was interesting, it gave off a vibe which he was not exactly so used to. "May I ask.. Whom you are. You seem a bit familiar. I just cant put my finger on it."

WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?

"There are many beautiful places where I would love to visit. Especially with many wonderful water networks. Though the one that sticks out the most to me at the moment is the Hoenn region. I would like to pay a visit soon."

[glassfullmemory-blog]

Would you like some tea?

The day was growing dark and the cafe was nearly empty. Though out on the streets, you could see the flashing lights of the bright and the shadows of the people passing by on the streets of busy city. Maybe now would have been a good time to close up. A little more extra time to have some rest and relaxation. It had been a while since he had had that for himself.

I'll just wait till the last client leaves. Cress thought to himself as he kept busy filing some papers behind the counter of the cafe. There were not really much thoughts flowing through the waiter's head at the moment, only of possible things he could try out. Maybe a new possible skin treatment. His skin had been feeling a bit dry lately. That would not be good if it continued. It could possibly cause it to become too oily and cause blemishes to appear. That would not leave a good impression on the guests. 

Sometime had passed and he had not noticed the last one had left. It was not until the door chimed once more, letting him know the door had been opened. Looking up, he spotted a face. Hmm, so much for closing early. He muttered under his breath, soon after putting on a smile. 

"Welcome. I'm Cress. And I shall be your waiter for the evening."
