Violet City

[cyan_maid]

[Ah, of course she's back in Violet City when the monks are harvesting grapes again. Of course Jane volunteered to help with the harvest, again. And of course, the monks paid her in grapes.

Again.

So here she is emerging from Bellsprout Tower with an actual, honest-to-god bushel of grapes, looking worn out and dirty and yet resigned, like, yes, I knew this was going to be how this shook out, look at me in my metaphorical clown shoes. The Audino next to her is also carrying a bushel because sweet fuck they sure harvested a lot of grapes today.]

Am I going to have to dry all these out...? I have the room back home, sure, but Ribbon can't feasibly eat this many raisins...

[...Oh hey, who's this hobo man]

...Hey, sir? This is kind of out of the blue, but do you want some free grapes?

[Thank fuck there are no ducks around here]

[scourgingstars]

[See? Concrete proof. People being nice out of the blue with no apparent thought for repayment?]

[Either everyone here was severely concussed, or Ardyn was definitely in hell.]

Do you often find yourself with an overabundance of grapes to the point where you've no other option but to give them to the first pitiful soul you encounter?

[Sir, this is a mcDonphan's.]

[cyan_maid]

...No?

[But it's happened at least one time and of course it was going to happen again.]

Just thought I'd ask is all. I have a Pokemon back home who loves raisins, and obviously I can just dry these to give to her, but at the same time she's small and I don't think she can feasibly eat all of this as raisins without getting sick. [She looks back at Sprout Tower.] You could also stop by the tower tomorrow and help the monks there with their grape harvest? They'll give you more grapes than you could ever want, if you don't want some of these.

[Ardyn, it's free grapes. They're free. You don't have to do anything to get them.]

[scourgingstars]

[WHAT'S THE CATCH]

I've no use for your pointless charity, and less interest in aiding them myself. Whyever should I?

[cyan_maid]

You get free food out of it.

[The Audino next to her casually peers at Ardyn, and then at his Zorua. Oh, she knows what this is! Hello, there is a fluffy pink creature coming over to share her bounty? Does fox want grapes?]

There's also only so much to do around here. I think the only other options, if you've already got a Zephyr Badge, is to watch Falkner's birds or...attend a school? And I am kind of too old to be at a school with ten year olds.

[scourgingstars]

I despise falconry.

[Ardyn rolled yellow eyes as if the mere suggestion annoyed him, the Zorua looking this offering up and down as if equally suspicious...before stomach won out over brain and he accepted the snack with much less annoyance than his trainer.]

Little else to do but move on, I suppose.

[cyan_maid]

[Zorua friend will find that these are indeed, fresh grapes, and very tasty.]

Anything in particular you might want to check out? I've been here for a good few years, so I do know what sort of places have the most going on.

[When there's not, you know, Team Rocket plots or wacky shenanigans or invasions of otherworldly Pokemon-adjacent creatures.]

[scourgingstars]

[he's gonna do a munch, you weird pink creature]

Years, truly? However have you not gone utterly mad by now?

[cyan_maid]

Well, it's either this place or the alternative back home. And the alternative sucks, so. [A shrug. She's just domestically inclined, what are ya gonna do.] There are big things that happen every so often that are exciting, though. Sometimes the holidays are weird, sometimes there's a swarm of particular creatures. Sometimes things are very dire or dangerous. It happens.

[scourgingstars]

I was rather thrilled about 'the alternative', personally. Being trapped in some bright and cheerful unknown lands sounds like my idea of constant and unending torment no matter how lively.

[cyan_maid]

Ah, well, different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

[She is very nonoffended that you'd rather have lots of fun intruding on Boy Band Road Trip Simulator. Kind of beats already being dead and unable to change anything or rectify any of your mistakes.

Dinah is now munching on grapes with Zorua. It's snack time.]
