BLIND DATES GROUP 1

[reign-of-power.livejournal.com]

What: BLIND DATES!
Who: Anyone who was sent a note with an A# & B# table numbers.
Where: Off-campus restaurant. AND BEYOND!
When: November 19th
Warnings: Who knows depending who is here.

[The first group's restaurant is Fine French Dinning. The rooms looks very fancy but thankfully the menu and the prices are a bit more down to earth. Still expensive, however, but you've been given a 100$ budget for eating each!

The lighting is dim, with flickering, oil candles on every table. The place is decorated in sparkling whites and browns. The overhead music is old classical french, to fit with the theme. Your servers all have mustaches and speak in broken English with a heavy French accent.

Beside each candle, there's a card. Each card has a different letter-number combination.

Find your table!

OH YEAH AND FEEL FREE TO LEAVE THE RESTAURANT AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE!]

Amp was ignoring the water entirely for a moment as she listened attentively. It sounded like having a team was a lot like having a family. That brought her to her answer.

"It's a lot like that! When you're in a pack, you'll never be alone, chu! The leader of the pack is really strong, but really nice, chu," she added. Unlike packs of, say, wild wolves or dogs, Pikachu pack leaders are much more docile. They are still commanding, but in a gentler manner to match the rest of the group. Well, or most of the group.

"It's like having the biggest family in the world! Is that what your team is to you? Family, chu?"

Marie nodded. "Yeah, I guess. I don't really know what having a family is like," he admitted. He definitely didn't seem to torn up about that fact. Who needs family when you've got the best Pokemon team on the planet?

"Are you still with your pack? I mean... do you see them sometimes?"

Marie wasn't usually this talkative. He shifted his gaze to his empty plate and shyly sipped at the glass of water he still held in his hand.

Amp's expression surprisingly fell. Viridian Forest was quite a ways away for a Pikachu like her, and she didn't exactly have amazing means to travel. Seeing her family from this far was sadly more of a hassle than anything, at least to do it often. It was going to be a rarity now, sadly.

"Not... a lot, chu, but it's okay! I still send them letters and stuff." 'It's okay', yet her expression was still not as perky as usual. Her pack meant a lot to her, so to not see them so much was a bit disheartening.

She couldn't let that negativity reach Marie, though. Heavens no. She tried her best to turn that frown upside down. "Chuuu, what about your team? Do you see them a lot? Where do they come from? My pack comes from Viridian Forest!"

Oh, Marie definitely noticed the sudden change in expression. It was hard to ignore that the over-excited, happy girl suddenly frowned. For a moment, Marie worried that he had struck a nerve. He didn't say anything, nor did he offer a kind expression. He just kind of watched her as she suddenly switched back into Super Happy Mode.

"They're from all over the place," he replied with a small smile. "My trainer, Red, is from Pallet Town. We met Vinnie around Vermillion City, and Sasha was at Mount Moon. Euphie was from Celadon City, I think. Sonny Moe was just outside Lavender Town. And Kojiro was from Fuchsia City, I think." Marie frowned. That was quite a lot to say in so little time. He sank into his chair a little.

"I get to see them a lot, though. They all go to this school," he added, quietly.

"They're from all over the place. My trainer, Red, is from-"

Just as he said that, Amp's mood rose even further, her smile visibly larger. Did he really mean that? Amp already knew Red, but she had no idea that Marie was his trainer of all people. Small world... er, or school.

"Red's your trainer?! I know him, chu!" She didn't recognize any of the other names, though. "What Pokemon are the other ones, though, chu? I don't know any of them!" She paused. "... Except I think I know Sasha, chu!"

[punchwaves]

"Yes, Red's my trainer," Marie replied proudly, but still slumped down in his seat. "Sasha's a Charizard, Vinnie's a Venusaur, Euphie is an Espeon, Sonny Moe is a Snorlax. And Kojiro is a Lapras," he listed, counting each of them off on his small fingers.

"How do you know Red?" he asked.

Ampere knew Sasha, but she still didn't quite know her species. In fact, all of the names seemed unfamiliar, although 'Venusaur' sure did sound a lot like 'Bulbasaur' and 'Ivysaur'. Perhaps they were related? She at least knew what a Bulbasaur and Ivysaur was.

Oh, the question. Right. Amp leaned back on her seat until her back pressed to it, a finger on her chin in thought. "Um, I think... we just met on the journal network before, chu! I don't know him well yet, but he's very nice already, chu! I bet your other teammates are nice, too!"
