The Best Party [open]

Roxy could smell it. Something in the air. The scent of a totally rad party.
Okay, so the flyer was lame as fuck and kind of confusing. In Cerulean City? Did this joker KNOW how big the city was? How was she supposed to know where abouts this mad cool party was happenin’? The time was vague as hell. And what the fuck was a trigger?

But hey, a party was a party! And the party don’t start ‘til Rox walks in.

She was going to find this party, and she was going to show everyone there how it was DONE. And she was bringing the booze. A party without booze was hardly a party at all./ If there was punch, you bet your sweet ass Roxy was going to be spiking it.

As soon as she was done Robin Hoodin' alcohol from the general store (she'd buy it, but she was underage! Stealing was the only option, honestly. What did you want her to do not get drunk???) she stepped out into the city center. Luckily enough, there was somebody else looking at one of the posters. Well, it couldn't hurt to ask!

"Hey, Turtleneck! Any idea where the PARTY'S at? I could use a bit of fun." Dude was pretty cute, actually. He had a sweet ass. She decided to give him one of her signature wonks, just to demonstrate her fun-loving, party-going sexy-ass nature.

CG: 9h, hell9 Meenah.
CG: I see that y9u have happened t9 n9ticed my flyers. I think y9u’ve g9tten the wr9ng impressi9n, whatever s9rt 9f impressi9n y9u seem t9 have. I am thr9wing a c9mpletely “radical” and trigger-free party. Its g9ing t9 6e, h9w d9 they say it, “9ff the h99k”?
CG: Y9u’re m9st certainly invited, if y9u’re interested. I already have 9ne eager party g9er. She 6r9ught alc9h9l, th9ugh, which I am s9rt 9f nerv9us a69ut. Y9u pr96a6ly w9udln’t understand, s9 I’ll explain it t9 y9u 6riefly.
CG: Alc9h9l is 6asically a very triggering su6stance. A l9t 9f unf9rtunate pe9ple happen t9 6e triggered 6y it, I am afraid t9 say. Thus, having it at a party intended t9 have a l9t 9f pe9ple c9uld wind up triggering unf9rtunate s9uls! I asked her if she c9uld try t9 make sure that every9ne is aware 9f the alc9h9l, 6ecause f9rcing her t9 rem9ve it c9uld 6e taken as quite rude, you see?
CG: Anyways, y9u are invited t9 my t9tally awes9me party. If y9u kn9w any9ne wh9 isn’t t99 far fr9m Cerulean, feel free t9 menti9n it t9 them, t99!

Was this guy that thrown off by her little wonk? Dang, that was cute! The troll seemed pretty clueless, but he had the right idea about parties! Outside was best, that way he could attract the maximum amount of people. But when he noticed the booze supply she had so generously pilfered for them, and his entire demeanor changed.

Roxy could only stare blankly at him as he explained to her the dangers of alcohol. She thought that was what he was on about, anyway, although he didn't actually seem to be condemning alcohol itself? Just... what the fuck was a trigger?????? Bluh, what a stick in the mud, no wonder nobody was coming to the party. She needed to fix this, fast. Roxy was appointing herself party co-runner, and also bartender. She set about retrieving various bottles and glasses from her bag and placing them on a folding table. Damn does this girl come prepared.

Luckily at that moment, another girl arrived! Looked pretty cool. The animeesque outfit was cute! She didn't seem to speak English too great, but hey. Kankri was busy fucking about with his phone, so Roxy took it upon herself to welcome this guest.

"Yo! Welcome, welcome. We're just starting up, don't cha fret. I'm sure more people'll get here soon! Lemme pour you a drink." Roxy, of course, thought nothing of offering other underage kids booze, and offered the troll in red a cocktail of God-knows-what.

CG: Y9u d9n’t kn9w h9w glad I am t9 hear that. “The m9re the merrier”. At least, I h9pe f9r that t9 6e true in this situati9n, 6ut I really d9n’t d9u6t it. After all, I’m the 9ne thr9wing the party, s9 it 9nly makes sense that it w9uld 6e the 6est 9ne ar9und.
CG: I 6elieve that I am l9cated n9t t9 far fr9m the gym. I mean, it can’t 6e that far away. Just l99k f9r my fa6ul9us red sweater ar9und that area, and y9u sh9uld see us. There’s als9 a human girl with alc9h9l, s9 I suggest l99king f9r that as well.
CG: Alc9h9l is extremely triggering, as I already menti9ned, 6y the way. 9f c9urse, there are several pe9ple wh9 are triggered 6y it, 6ut y9u never n9tice them 6ecause it’s usually hard t9 identify s9me9ne’s trigger 6y just l99king at them! And it’s n9t like y9u’re g9ing t9 witness s9me9ne 6eing triggered in pu6lic. M9st 6eings are wise en9ugh t9 av9id what triggers them. In s9me cases, 9f c9urse, it can’t 6e helped! S9me pe9ple might happen t9 slip triggering things int9 c9nversati9n with9ut a pr9per trigger warning, 9r s9me9ne might accidentally have s9mething triggering in pu6lic! D9n’t get me started 9n h9w easy it is t9 find s9me9ne wh9 has their P9kem9n 6attle, 9r stuffs it in a P9ke 6all, 9r nicknames it with9ut c9nsent, in pu6lic! Pe9ple like that are everywhere! F9rtunately, pe9ple like me exist. Stunning, perfect examples 9f h9w t9 raise a P9kem9n. What w9uld the w9rld 6e like with9ut pe9ple like me? N9t very g99d, safe t9 say!
CG: I’m g9ing t9 st9p n9w, 6ef9re I get t99 carried away.
CG: I haven’t seen Latula f9r the l9ngest time, 6ut I always have enj9yed her “radical” v9ca6ulary. 9r sh9uld I say, “r4d1c4l”. “Radical” is a really fun term and Latula knew what she was d9ing when she started using it regularly, clearly. She’s just s9 great at th9se kind 9f things, y9u kn9w?
CC: w/e dude
CC: im on my way i guess
CC: also im pretty shore your sweater sucks
CC: didnt you dislike it or somefin i forget tbh
CC: and hahahah no latulas vocab is probubbly the complete octosite of rad
CC: doesnt shellp that youre deciding to go and use her dumb quirk too in quotes
CC: next thing i know you and captor are going to have a number quirk club bluh

She started walking, checking his clam-shelled mini-computer as she did. With a careful glance around the area, she attempted to find the gym. Now, where in the world was this gym anyway? God damn it— The one thing she didn't bring along with her was a map. Not as if she would've read it though. She'd have to start remembering landmarks soon enough if she wanted any hope. Ugh.

WAHT.
*WTAH.
*WHAY.
*WHTA.

Omg. O.M.G. He did not just knock over the punchbowl. He did not just smash 5 WHOLE BOTTLES OF WKD. No, not on her watch.

Roxy glared at the intruder with barely contained rage, her grip on the cocktail she she holding practically strong enough to smash the glass.

"Oi, fishfucker!" she growled, "what the fresh hell do you think you're doing, gatecrashing this fucking party? You have got SOME FUCKIN' NERVE showing your face here and smashing all my booze after that stunt you pulled last time I saw yer. Damn COWWARD." She tried to mimic his accent for added mockery at the end, but that accent was hard to pull off.

She raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "You're challenging me to a Pokemon battle? HERE? Wow. There is a time and a PLACE for everything! But not now. This is a party, in case you didn't fuckin' notice. Like I'm going to ruin that by starting up some huge Poke-brawl. Plus, the host said we weren't supposed to be fighting or triggering anyone, I think?" 

She tossed her scarf over one shoulder and folded her arms in what was actually a rather stunning imitation of Eridan's theatrics. 

"Tge only vandal in the story is YOU. Since you just vandalized the public property that was my booze supply!! And I am totes holding yoo accountable for teh dammages. Now pay up, purplestripe, or there WILL be consetinches." 

"Constituences."

"Constepigdes." 

"CONSEQUICHES."
