Wh— …your mom is working? *floats down to his height, peering at him a bit kindly* Sure you can hang out here, after all it’s a museum. People hang out here all the time. Plus the exhibits are—

*sniffs, she’d know that smell anywhere woops*

…oh you have got to be kidding me. Cicero?

Ah, that’s alright. I only return to Jordan ever two years just to see my family. Though, it sounds rather nice that you get to travel every so often, seeing all those beautiful places…

*She chuckles a little* While it is good to have some quiet, it’s also good to be busy no? I mean, it makes time fly by. *Smiles softly, blushing* You’re very welcome! After all, I’ve seen some very interesting illusions from you from all the times I’ve come in! Hah, I could probably stare at them for hours and marvel at them if I had more time to come by here. Too bad I work two jobs… *sighs sadly*

Well, I’m sure that the young ones will do a great job if they sound that promising *smiles* They have a very good teacher to look up to!

[oddballsandartifacts]

Mmhm, it is. *he smiled, nodding in agreement*

*he seemed to puff up a little with pride at her compliments, obviously flattered and appreciative of the praise* Oh goodness, you flatter me, Miss Rafika. But I am privileged to have been able to impress a fine young woman such as yourself with my hobby. *he chuckled, taking a small dramatic bow, then looking sympathetic for a moment* Ahh, well if my Illusions bring you such enjoyment, perhaps I might bring them to you at your convenience instead? *He winked at her then, giving a chuckle.* 

[thunderouskies]

*Rafika gave the Zoroark a genuine smile* You truly are good with what you do…. How long did it take you to perfect it? *Rafika’s mind hadn’t processed what Nico said afterwards, but when it did, it flustered her* Fine young woman?!?! Look who’s flattering who now! Haha! Seriously, you are too much! *She replied, waving her hands in front of her*

Oh no no no!! I’d be asking too much of you to do tha-…

*Oh no. No no no. Nico winking literally made Rafika want to fall into a puddle of goo on the floor*

[oddballsandartifacts]

"Oh, not too long, at least not when you've practiced as much as I have, hehe." He replied. He blinked for a second at her flustering, then grinned. Goodness, she already looked cute, but blushing? Adorable!

"I assure you, it'd be no trouble at all! Besides, bringing a smile to your face would be well worth the effort, Miss Rafika." he said, his tone actually earnest. It was true of him; he loved to make people smile.

"Would you like to sit? You seem a bit unsteady, there."

[oddballsandartifacts]

-scoffs- With regards to your ass, I beg to differ.

-she turns to the Shaymin- Alright Anthi, can you do… that thing you and your brother do?

Heehee, this friend of yours is quite silly, Misi! Come on now, up you go…! -she wraps her arms around one of Cicero’s and somehow effortlessly, despite her much smaller stature, the little legendary pulls him up into a sitting position, a greenish glow rising from the two of them- Oh dear, you’ve got a whole lot in there don’t you? -her voice is strangely knowing, but light and airy as the large Gracidea flowers in her hair take on the glow as well, their edges beginning to blacken-

[sinnerslaboratory]

Misi, shut up you piece of sh- HRK! -Suddenly he’s sitting up and he wants to puke like no tomorrow from the sudden motion-

'Ey, kid, you knock that shit off I'm not fuckin' around. -He watches her and moves away but somehow can't stop looking. This is gonna get interesting. Or not as he scoots away from her and crawls to his couch- Man, I'm just fine, urgh.

[oddballsandartifacts]

Oh my god you dunce, stop thrashing! She's trying to help you. 

Heehee, I know it must feel rather weird, but please stay still, sir. *smiling sweetly she followed him, laying her hands on him once more as she resumed his purification. Drawing the toxins that built up in his body out, the flowers in her hair blackened and withered, all the while he would increasingly feel better as it went on.*

*curtsies with a flourish as she floats there* Greetings to you, visitor. Who might you be~? 

[charm-kitten]

"Hey," he said, "what’s up? How’s it going? I’m Aiden… uh, who are you?"

[oddballsandartifacts]

"Aiden? You may call me Moira." She smiled, floating leisurely in the air. "It is truly a pleasure to encounter another ghost~" And a young one at that, she noted. Were all ghosts around here so young? Hardly any she'd observed were over 50.

Edda: *feral form, suddenly falls out of a tree and onto his head*

alrewifuahrf!! Mary, I swear to GOD I’m gonna—— Wait… you’re… not mary… -squints- …Shiny fennekin huh…? -grabs her- You better watch out for trainers… 

[oddballsandartifacts]

-hangs from his hand by the scruff of her neck, a little green stone on the necklace around it. She wriggles.- More like they better watch out for me! I'm a force to be reckoned with! -she retorts, tail flailing every which way-

[oddballsandartifacts]

*surprised by her rushing about but blinks singularly down at her* Bloodlines…? So, you seek a book on genealogies? Hm… *he ponders for a moment* …we have such books in the Museum library, but I am not sure if we have birth records, signorina. 

*he smiles slowly, not wanting to dash her hope* I suppose it would not hurt to look, eh?

[killthatmeowth]

I don’t know what ANY of that means! I just… Need to know how I can have all these different type of gijinka in my family… And we’re somehow still related? I wanna know how that’s possible! 

[oddballsandartifacts]

Different gijinka...? *looks confused for a moment as they walk, he floating along beside her* Well, many pokemon can breed with eachother... despite looking vastly different, so it is not impossible. ...We could check the library for answers, signorina. They might have records of family trees in the archives there. *holds out his hand, intending to fly them there if she wanted to go. Floating was faster than walking, after all.*

STARS FOR EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEE 8))))

Icarus ★ He was once part of a gijinka battle team that took on the Elite Four and triumphed.

Moira ★ Moira’s fire will actually run various colors pending on her mood and whim, but the most common hues that are seen other than the orange are strains of aqua or even blue-greenish white, much like her glass.

Samira ★ Tends to overwork herself to the point of exhaustion at times when she’s really onto something, as Icarus has often found her asleep at her desk amidst her research files and papers.

Nicobar ★ He works at the museum as an employee for free. He comes from a very, very affluent family and refuses to take the Petros’ family’s earnings. Plus, he finds his job as Illusionist very fun.

Artemisia ★ Despite being almost obsessive in her quest to obtain a Dusk stone for evolution, Misi will not resort to stealing to get one.

Paolo ★ He is an extremely gentle soul despite his foreboding appearance, and is exceptionally kind and softspoken.

Anthi ★ She wears a certain amulet on her person at all times. This amulet contains a special adamant diamond.

Dasos ★ Has a secret love of popcorn. That delicious, buttery, movie-theater kind. Will deny if asked about it.

Edda ★ She’s got a bad habit of nibbling on grass-type pokemon’s foliage if she’s hungry and there aren’t any plants or twigs around.

oddballsandartifacts replied to your post: …Hooooooooooold on a minute…  …

Paolo: A book…? What kind of book, signorina?

-Lil gasp- Paolo!! -rushes to him- I need…. I need a book on… EVERYTHING. ANYTHING THAT CAN EXPLAIN BLOOD LINES. 

I need to know my origins…! 

[oddballsandartifacts]

oddballsandartifacts replied to your post:One of my ladies broke it off with me saying she’d…

Misi: Probably because she was /one/ of your /ladies/, perhaps? *SIDE-EYEING HIM SO HARD* Most women don’t usually appreciate playing second-fiddle to others, Cicero.

EY. Don’t you go knockin’ my relationships. She was perfectly okay with me having multiple ladies so you can shut your damn whore mouth. Don’t think I won’t smack the shit out of you ‘cause you’re a girl

[oddballsandartifacts]

Well hey, whatever floats their boat.

*scoffs* I'd like to see you try, you ruffian. Threatening a lady!
