"I-I really don't think I need new underwear..." Mami was protesting, still unaware of exactly how this person viewed her, "I-I just want to try out the outfit there..." She said shyly, wishing the woman's hands would stop wandering in ... those places.
"Oh, no, if you want to look cute, you have to start from the very first layer," the woman said, pushing her glasses up her nose as she tried not to nosebleed at the idea of Mami in that Maid's outfit... still, didn't mean she couldn't have fun beyond that, "Well, it's not like you need a lot of help to look tots adorbs, you know?" Making Mami squeak as the woman hugged her suddenly. Both of them were unaware of Arietta's return.
Bob gave Colt a deathglare. Blob? Did the human have a death wish... Bob would give him such stun spore if the human kept this up. Not that any of this translated on his expression. Shroomish were not the easiest pokemon to have their emotions read... or so it seemed at least.

Seamus Walker
"SHE'S NOT EASY!' the immortal snapped at Jess, but outwardly Seamus grinned at the girl, no sign of his inner thoughts on his face at the moment, "Well, I suppose I could say I'm content as long as I get to see such a rare beauty this close," he said, his accent almost slipping through as he entered full on flirt mode, "But I kind of thought you looked familiar... to a girl I knew as a kid," he said with a shrug, and then grinned, "I'm sure you hear that kind of line a lot... names Jack Russel," he said easily. He wondered if Elaine would recognize the name... of a boy she had known in the orphanage that had ran away from it before she burnt to place down. If reports were accurate, he lived in the Kalos region now.

Colt nodded and brought the clothes he was given to the counter. "I'm waiting for a few others, so I won't pay for these right away." Colt scans the store as he stands waiting. "A little too fancy for my tastes, but I guess everything is good for a specific time." He looks over at Kaz, who is barely staying on his shoulder with his back and forth wobbling. Colt sighs and looks down at Lucifer. "I guess we all we can do is wait. Been doing a lot of that lately, haven't we?" Lucifer plops down on the floor tiredly.
---
Travis takes a large bite out of his steak as he listened. This guy was pulling cheesy lines from his sleeve, yet he somehow had Elaines attention. Just what was this guy? Maybe he was some sort of hypnotist or something. Either way, Travis was thoroughly confused.

Arietta walks into the room and raises a brow, "Why are you trying to sell her underwear? We'll take the dress she wants in the colors I suggested. No need to sell her underwear." She sighs, and walks over to the dress the seamstress had already designed. Dang, the woman worked fast. "Is this a... Maid's outfit?" That's different. -- Elaine rolls her eyes at the man, but a small smirk still remained on her face, "My name is Elaine. A pleasure to meet you." It was obvious she didn't recognize the name.

Mami Saito
The woman leaned away, clearly disappointed about a witness showing up, but then she moved over to Arietta, "Yes... of course, but what about you? Are you buying anything... I'd be more than happy to help you both into those outfits," the woman said, approaching Arietta, opening and closing her hands, as if preparing to grab something, as she moved towards the brown haired girl with an attitude very similar to how she had treated Mami.
Mami nodded, "Yeah... my dad wears one all the time, so I thought it would be nice if I wore one for the contest," she explained. The seamstress had to pause a moment at that one... a guy in a French maid outfit? ... Weird. That aside, she proceeded stalking towards Arietta... she adored young girls of all shapes and sizes after all.
-----
Seamus Walker
Seamus looked at the girl and chuckled, so pretending to be an old friend wouldn't work here... he doubted that it would. But how to get them out of town? The girl was unstable, and who knew what she would do if she felt threatened or upset, and the same for the giant... No, he needed to get them outside so that he could talk to them, but how....
"So, you hear about those fires yesterday?" A man said, and Seamus note the man was one of his employee's, "Two people died and a lot more were injured... one of the guy's that bit it, supposedly just spontaneously combusted for something," he said, his voice loud, so most of the café could hear him.
A bit obvious, but it was better than Seamus bringing it up himself, "Fires? What's he talking about?" he asked, and then shook his head, "I've just got into town, haven't had a chance to see a newspaper or the TV or anything," he explained shortly, although he knew that there were other ways to get information these days... but it was true he didn't really have access to them either, so the point was moot for the moment.

Colt tapped his foot and let out a long sigh as he waited. As he looked around the store, he noticed an aisle for small children. "Excuse me, do you have any tuxedos that can fit this small guy?" He pointed to Kaz on his shoulder. The lady at the counter smiled and walked over to the kids aisle. After a moment, she returned with a set of dress pants and a tuxedo. "Here you go, this should fit the little guy." Colt took the set of clothes and gave her the money required. He took Kaz off his shoulder and placed him on the ground, then fit him with the newly purchased suit. "There, all done." Colt stood up straight and smiled. The dizzy bear was now wearing a Tux and dress pants, but Colt couldn't tell if he was happy or not by looking at his confused face.
---
Travis shifted in his seat. He knew that Elaine had caused the fire, so with this guy asking questions things could get violent fast. Now, Travis wasn't against things getting violent, but he would prefer not having to deal with the cops again. "Okay, buddy, that's enough. I suggest you say your goodbyes and step away." Travis could have been a little more smooth with how he worded it, but he didn't exactly care.

Arietta nods, "I'm getting a dress. A one bright brown in color, with a cream ribbon around the abdomen." She looks at the different sample dresses, and points at one with two strips of cloth coming down from the shoulders and crossing at the chest area. Then she looks at Mami. "Are you sure you want to get a Maid dress? It's not something you'd usually wear to a fancy event- it's a servant's dress. Or a cosplayer. Or one of those dorks at the Battle Chateau." She raises a brow.
--
Elaine looks at Travis with a strange look, not sure what his reasons are for this, "Yes.. The fires." Maybe he was trying to warn her not to do something stupid? Perhaps he already has guessed who started those fires? But either way, he's right about being cautious. "There was some fires yesterday. That's all I really know." More in her head then usual, she decides not to flaunt it.

Mami Saito
The seamstress nodded, and moved to find it, "Oh, yes, I have just the dress for you," she said, and came back later with one just like what Arietta had asked for, "Hmm, what are your measurements?" the woman asked, pushing her thick glasses up her thin nose, "If I have to adjust anything, it won't take me very long... you don't want it to be too... tight," the woman said, saying the last word almost dreamily.
Mami looked at Arietta, "But... it's cute.." she said, a slightly pleading look in her eyes. Then she sighed, "Dorks?" she asked, not sure how to handle that. She couldn't help what she thought was cute, "What do you think I should wear?" she asked, not having much of an eye for fashion. She wore comfortable clothes, and ones that she wouldn't mind getting torn or covered in mud and other things. It was made sense for her given how much time she spent in the woods after all.
Bob looked Kaz curiously, "Doesn't that thing itch?" he asked the Spinda curiously, although it would be just random noises to the human, "I mean... it ain't exactly designed for someone with fur, you know?" the shroomish asked, just a bit curious about this situation.
-------
Seamus Walker
Seamus blinked at the large man and then smirked, "Really, I was just having a little talk with your 'girlfriend'," he told the man, barely managing to not spit that last word. The big man was a problem, he had to go... and die... definitely not be anywhere near Elaine, "There's no need for you to be jealous," he said playfully, as if that was the only logical reason Travis would have to tell him to leave.
He turned to the girl, "Huh, wondered what all happened," she said with a shrug, "I don't worry about the news too much myself, although, I think I've heard several stories about mysterious fires recently," he mused, which was true enough. It was not likely that all of them were Elaine's doing, in fact given how far apart some of them were, it was impossible... however, Seamus did have reason to believe that other disciples of entei could be responsible however.

Kaz shook it's head at the shroomish. "It's fine, I think. Maybe the clerk had specific clothes for pokemon? Maybe it's just the material it's made of? Maybe I just don't notice it yet? I don't know..." Kaz fell down on his face again. Colt bent down and picked up Kaz and placed him back on his shoulder. He then walked over to the outside of the dressing room and knocked. "How are things going in there?"
---
Travis clenched his teeth at the man. At first Travis thought him as some sort of wizard. Now, he just saw him as some sort of stuck up punk who thought he was all big. The man needed to be more modest and noble, like himself. He took another large bite of his steak, stopping himself from saying anything. If the man said anything else that angered him, he would probably take the man outside himself.

As she writes down measurements for herself, Arietta shrugs, "You can wear whatever you like. I'm just saying it's rather odd to go to a formal event in one." She looks to the door, "Everything is fine in here, Colt!"
--
Elaine frowns, "Several fires?" She had only gotten to Hoenn recently. The only fires she had caused was the bridge fire and the forest. It makes her pause, perhaps there was another disciple of Entei, "Also, dear, you'd be good not to argue to much with Travis here. He's not really someone you should try and fight with." She takes a bite of her sandwich.

Mami Saito
Mami smiles a bit, relieved to hear that, and was about to say something when the shop keeper spoke up, "Not really... You said this is for a contest? It's all about style, and what's comfortable... and the head judge is a sucker for cosplay," she told the girls formally. Then after a moment she lunged at them, tearing off clothes left and right, "Well, let's get to changing!" she yelled gleefully, ignoring Mami's squeaks of surprise as she moved from the small girl to try and strip Arietta.
Bob nodded slowly, "Huh, you look okay... kind of like one of those toys that humans like so much..." He mused and then poked at Colt with one leg, "Shroomish, shroom!" he called, pointing at the Spinda, or rather his outfit and then gestured insistently to himself. He was going to be in this contest, he wanted to look the part if possible.

Seamus walker
Seamus nodded respectfully to Travis, "I suppose I shouldn't... I'd much rather be on his good side, if I were to be honest," the 'youth' said, giving the large man a playful wink. He wasn't really Seamus' type, even when the marked man was a woman. Not like that boy Colt.... Oh well, best to stay focused for now, "I was just looking for some people to talk to... I'm actually looking for someone," he said, although he doubted that either of them would show interest in that... he was just getting a feel for them for the moment.

Colt looked at the Shroomish, pondering. Usually, he wasn't the type to dress up, but he was board, plus it's not like he didn't have the money. With all the battling he did, he got quite a bit from the rewards from gyms and other places. He just preferred not to spend it. "I don't know, dressing up a Shroomish isn't going to be easy. Not like I can just throw you in a tux." He thought, the got an idea, walking away from the dressing room, hearing faint squeals from the other side. Colt placed Bob on the floor and grabbed a red and blue striped scarf, wrapping it around the pokemon just above the petals on him. He then picked up two hats, one a black baseball cap with a tinge of white and the other a pure black small top hat. He placed the top hat on the pokemons head and turned him towards a mirror. "How's that?" Colt inquired, looking at the Shroomishs facial expression.
---
Travis perked up "Oh, you're looking for someone? Well, why didn't you say so! I tend to travel around a lot and meet a lot of people. Maybe if you tell me a bit about this person I can send you in the right direction." Travis was uncharacteristically interested in the fact that the guy was looking for someone, and for good reason. It was a chance to get this guy packing and out of his hair. Travis was going to send the man to the farthest place possible no matter what. That'll get rid of him.

Arietta raised a brow, "You're an odd one." She simply whipped off her clothes and put on the dress. To everyone's surprise, it fit. She smiles, "I'll just take this to the front desk." She changes back into her normal clothes and walks out, "Hurry up Mams! I wanna go stop by the Hospital one more time before we head to the pokemon contest." She leaves the room with the dress over her arm.
--
Elaine raises a brow, "Oh? Who are you looking for? I know a lot of people." Well, they were either dead or in higher places. But she wouldn't say that, no. He didn't need to know.

Mami Saito
Bob looked at himself in the mirror, and then nodded satisfactorily. He liked the hat, it made him look pretty fancy, or so he liked to think. He nodded to Colt, allowing to know that he had done well, and he would not be wiped out of existence for her earlier impertinence... for the moment at least.
Mami scrambled into the outfit, and then out of the room, trying to stay as close to Arietta as she could. She didn't know what was with the Seamstress, but she would prefer to get out of this place sooner than later. The bespectacled woman reached for the girls desperately, "Nooo! Come back, I'm not done playing dress up!" the woman cried piteously.

Seamus Walker
Seamus looked at the large man, and then reached out with his foot, running it up the young man's leg playfully, "Oh, I'm looking for all kinds of people, if you know what I mean," he said with a playful smirk. Perhaps Seamus could shock the man into silence... perhaps not. It was worth a shot anyway.
He turned to the girl, "I grew up near an orphanage in Johto... it burnt down a while back, but most of its records were kept off site," he said, to her, "I'm trying to track down those kids that survived... or the families of those that didn't... made a few promises to a friend a long time ago to try and reunite families, help them find closure, that kind of thing," he said calmly. This part of the story was true. The only difference was that the friend he had made this promise to had died several centuries ago.

While The Goof Troop were off chatting in over sandwiches, Jessica was busy doing things. After weakening her connection with Seamus, she and Rogue headed for the police station, making sure to remain out of sight of the cafe. Once there, she gave a description of Elaine, the same information she told the Vendanturf police, and asked them to spread the message to other towns, sans Vendanturf and Slateport as they've already been warned. At first, the officers were skeptical...But her stern, honest expression paired with a steady voice and solid story won them over. Of course, once again she left out Seamus's regeneration for everyone's sake.
This would take some time, so The Three Musketeers would still be able to go about their business fairly normally. For now.

Colt nodded at the Shroomish and put the baseball cap back where he found it. "Glad you like it, Blob." He picked up the pokemon and brought it over to the front counter. He paid for the clothes on Bob and put him on his free shoulder. As he did so, he noticed the girls leaving the change room. "Hey, you ready yet? I've been busy while you two were changing." He pointed to the two dressed up pokemon on his shoulders.
---
Travis stood up from his seat and slammed his hands down on the table. "Okay, I've had enough of you messing with me, buddy. We're going outside and we're going to settle this like men. Now, get up and get outside or I'm going to lift you up by your neck and bring you out there myself." By now mostly everyone in the cafe was looking over at them. However, Travis didn't care. He didn't like to be messed with, especially by some smug punk like this guy. Of course, there were other ways to handle it, but that would require more thinking. plus, Travis always liked a short, one sided fight every once in a while.

Arietta stared at the pokemon, then at Colt, then back to the pokemon, and let out a high-pitched squeal of pure delight. "Oh. my. gods. That is the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life." She charges at the pokemon and hugs them, "This is absolutely darling." -- Elaine looked up at Travis, feeling like the man was suddenly defensive- but who was she to deny the giant man a fight? It's be awfully entertaining. "Travis, darling, do try not to make the man into a bloody paste. It'd just be a hassle for me." She coos to the larger man, a cruel smile. She did like the smaller kid, but her sadistic nature was more appealing at the moment then her affections.

Mami Saito
Mami narrowly dodged the clutches of the odd store clerk, and moved to follow Arietta, squealing with delight when she saw the shroomish and the Spinda, "Awwwww," she squeaked moving up to hug Bob and then moved on to the Spinda. Bob nodded knowingly, and babbled at Arietta, commending her on her good taste. Although, to be fair, he would look fantastic in absolutely anything.
-----
Seamus Walker
The man turned to look at the giant, and closed his eyes for a moment, "I'm wondering if I should pretend to be scared, but there really isn't a point to that, is there..." he said, and then sighed, "I'd much rather talk to the pretty lady than deal with you're insecurities... but if you want to leave, that would be fine," the man said, a condescending smirk that could make even a saint spit blood in pure rage, "Now, either sit down, or shoo... I don't want to hurt you," he said, and his eyes showed he did not fear the man... not in the least.
He looked at Arietta and smiled softly, "My my... what a beautiful smile... it really does suit you," he told her... the same line he had used so long ago, although that woman hadn't been quite as malicious as this one was.

Colt chuckled at the girls reactions. "Well, I thought since we're getting all dressed up, why not them as well?" He looked at Kaz on his shoulder, who seemed oblivious to the attention he was receiving. He turned to Mami. "Don't worry, I paid for Blobs outfit. Don't worry about paying me back." He then turned towards Arietta. "You all ready to go? I have the suit up at the front counter, so you can go pay whenever."
---
Travis gritted his teeth at the man. "Why you little..." He stopped. Sure, he could easily punch a whole through the guys chest, or even crush his skull on the wall, but that would be such a big hassle inside of the restaurant. And if he tried to drag him outside it wouldn't be unheard of if someone tried to stop him. That would definitely bring the attention of the police. Of course, any fight would, but it would be more likely police would arrive before Travis had finished the fight. He didn't exactly feel like dealing with cops at the moment, even though he could. Travis pulled out one of his wallets and tossed it on the table, then stood straight up. He turned towards Elaine. "I'll be waiting outside." He then turned to the other man. "You better stay inside until I'm out of town, cause if I see you outside that smirk is going to be on the back of your head." He then stormed outside and waited by the right of the door.
