A Long Awaited Reunion

[Aranea Serket]

"Well, I haven't really been staying anywhere I suppose. It's more of I find a nice place to sit and relax and before I know it, it's the next morning." Aranea says looking down to her Eevee before looking back to Meenah, "It hasn't seemed to be too much of a problem yet. And yes, the contest hall is quite 'cool' and is very decorated. The contests are widely popular, but of course they would have a hall suited to fit such high concentrations of people. If it hadn't of been nice do you really think anyone would want to join a contest or go to see one?"

[Meenah Peixes]

"Whaaaaaaale," she started out, "I'd pershellnally be in it as long as they gave me the g y' know? Or whateva fintastic prize they got in store. It just needs to be prawnmising and you can say they got me hooked completely! An' I'm sure there's some suckas out there who go and put on some AWESOME, clamorous, an' flashy show no matter what to keep some other fishes out there fooled into comin' to watch. Ain't that what they do already anyway? But 'ey good that they keep it all pretty in case I need to look at somefin else whale I'm tappin' my foot just WADING for you to do whatever the glub it is that you do. MAN do I need to read them letters again if I ever wanna know what the shell you're doing in these contests. Prolly need to go and buy a dumb highlighter though if I wanna not sit there all day. Not like ya' give me some money to go read the entire thing."

[Aranea Serket]

"If the letters really don't mean so much to you that you would use a highlighter just to get it done and over with I might pay you to read them. Scanning things leaves out details most of the time." She says and shrugs before walking over to stand beside Meenah, the Eevee following her, as she gets off the road and out of the way. "They're just contests, whether they be in looks, abilities, finesse, That kind of stuff."

[Meenah Peixes]

Her eyes widened at that statemen and she leaned back in surprise. "Woah there I didn't actually think you'd go an' propose that buuuut that'd be reel sweet a' ya' hahahaa
Though don't get me wrong, I do read the stuff, but man, more than once and I'm washed out, gill. Need to have a frond's words when you're stuck with a buncha losers back where I swam to or else you're gonna be sinkin' in insanity and shit. Y' know what I mean?"
"Though to keep it all shrimple, it's all cool an' your letters are pretty much the sea to my fish in some sorta weird extended metaphor. Not goin' anywhere near that though as explaining that would be way out of my league."
She nodded. "Whale, that sounds at least preetty damn interesting compared to just sittin' 'round on the curb. I hope some a' ya' suckas put some mad bling on yo."

[Aranea Serket]

"You know one day I may have you try to explain that weird extended metaphor to me." Aranea said smiling, she was glad Meenah had read the letters, happy Meenah was happy with her sending them to her. "Well we have to follow specific themes that are given to us at the beginning of the contest and such and the person whose pokemon is closest to the theme in originality, creativity, and class based on the judges opinions wins."

[Meenah Peixes]

She frowned at this, and pouted once more, "Aaaaw man, no don't do that to a kelpless chick like me. We're gonna be here all day cause I'm gonna just be trying to figure out how the shell that sentence works in a coherent way with good ol' symbolism thrown in.

And aboat those themes, I HOPE they're awesome. Man, a tropic theme betta be on the list for future contests. I'll rush my sorry ass over in that case and even buy some roses or popcorn or whatever depending on what I'm doin'."

[Aranea Serket]

"Well perhaps I'll find some way to help you with the explanation." Aranea says and shrugs her shoulders a moment before looking thoughtful. "And the theme-" She waves a hand for a moment, drawing out the anticipation for a moment. "was Royalty."

[Meenah Peixes]

"Good luck with that. You'll need it, Serket."




"Man I was actually on the edge there, thinkin' that it was gonna be aquatic or tropical. Though I guess there's still some bling in that theme of royalsea. Might be interestin' even." Her voice has an obvious sense of disappointment but she did grin soon after.

[Aranea Serket]

Aranea had been puzzled at Meenah's reaction, unsure what to say as she listened to her friend, raising a finger to her mouth as she thought about Meenah's words a long moment.

"Not the reaction I had been expecting but a reaction none the less." She only composed herself, running over new plans in her head and how to keep Meenah interested.
"I thought that this particular theme might have appealed to you but it seems I was wrong." She says and looks over her shoulder in the direction of the contest hall before looking back to Meenah. "I'm sure they'll use one of those themes at some point and that it will be spectacular. For now though there's nothing we can do but perhaps walk and catch up with one another till the next round is ready for the participants."

[Meenah Peixes]

"Hmm.. whale, lemme think it over a bit.."
She stood there contemplating the theme and its pros and cons, tilting her head every few moments as she looked skyward. When she reached a decision, she lowered her view to Aranea and her grin returned with full force.



"Okay, okay it's actshelly pretty good but you know, fins before crowns. I mean, it does have the appeal that i could be lookin for if i wasn't so preoctupied with all the cool fishes. Man, you know what, I'll take it with a thumbs up." She stuck two thumbs upward before she continued, "Let's sea what'cha folks got! Less frills and more gold and consider it great. Maybe even outraygeous or crayative if they put a seariously sick explosion or costume?"
She gave a chuckle, "Haha if only! Now I'll follow your lead fo' once. Let's get goin'! Contest can't entertain itself, gill."

[Aranea Serket]

Aranea was a bit happy with what Meenah had said, but didn't really show it as she turned on her heels to face the direction they needed to go. "Well then let's head off." She says quietly and begins to walk with the Eevee following close behind. "I'm quite sure you'll enjoy it- if not then we'll find something to occupy your interests."

[Meenah Peixes]

Nodding, she began to follow the other and tried to keep herself at a good and slow pace as to not get too far ahead. "If you say so. I'm ready for pretty much anyfin at this point and let's sea how you'll amaze me. I'm honestly interested to sea what route that'd go heh."

[Aranea Serket]

"Hearing that leads me to believe that I need to try harder. As I'm sure it's a bit hard to amaze you." Aranea places her hands behind her back as she walks along, trying not to be too slow as the Eevee playfully jogs behind them, swishing its tail back and forth.

[Meenah Peixes]

"Moray power to ya' then! You aim for that tidal or medal or trophy or badge or whateva you get with the mast krilliant show you got and I'll be cheering if I like it. Got that?"

She looked to see if Boon was following behind and sure enough, he wasn't. She rolled her eyes and stopped dead in her tracks, turning around and giving a loud whistle. The meowth hopped up from his spot and dashed over. She cued him to her shoulder and he nodded, hopping onto it quickly. Once she balanced the two of them, she gave a high five to him and caught back up to Aranea.

"Sooooo.. How much longer 'till we get there?"

[Aranea Serket]

Aranea stopped when Meenah had, turning back to watch her and her Meowth a moment and waiting to walk once more for when they caught up. "We've got a little while, the town is a bit big and it's on the other side." Aranea says as she walks beside Meenah, glancing up at the Meowth a moment before continuing down the street. She places her hands behind her as she walks, watching as Xinli is now ahead of them, jumping from brick to brick on the sidewalk.
