A lone woman would stand across the path from the Ferris wheel, gazing up at the moving carriages. In on heand she held an ornate parasole, shading herself from the sun. He wother hand was positioned to her side. She would look to her side to speak. "Is this what you wanted to see?" She seemed to be speaking to no one as there was no one in her general area, other than a jolly look slurpuff seated under a tree. It seemed to be sleep. The woman's cold voice would frighten it awake. "Andre, now is no time to be napping." SHe would glare at the slurpuff before turning her head back to the air she was speaking to. "Well, are you going to ride it. If not, my duty here is done."
David
Lights, Lights where the first thing that stood apart to him, But obviously the sound of the moving wheel of individuals stood apart also. How could the roundabout wheel of enjoyment and sight not be in stock of sight, Immediately, He took everything in and let his eyes wander as he walked along slowly. The wheel being the principle interest, He had never been on one before, And starting now never crossed his mind, However, Being the individual he is, The thing that did grab his attention was the solitary lady addressing assumingly nothing. Extroverted as he was and curious, He would begin to approach her, Feeling somewhat reluctant from the start, Drawing nearer, He couldn't help but see the Slurpuff fast asleep.
Stephen
Babette would raise her voice, it was both cold and stern. "Andre!: The slurpuff would jump to attention quickly making it's way over to her. "Come, child. You asked me to bring you here, should at the very least ride it." She wouldcontinue to adress the thing that was not there. After a moment she would sigh. "You want me to ride...? Oh don't be rediculous..." She would stop herself and mull it over. "Very well, but only one time around, no more than that." She would turn as she closed her parasol. SHe would pause taking notice of Baxter. "Ahh do parden me. I did not mean to stand in your way good sir." She would bow her head and make her way to the ticket both and tjen into the line for the ride. She would remove her silk gloves, placing them into one of her hidden pockets. As she pulled her hand out she would produce what seemed to be a small wooden top. As they waited in line, she would inspect it. "And so this was yous?" SHe would ask outloud, again to seemingly no one.
David
Befuddled and at the moment stunned by the display; Baxter would be only more captivated, He would prompt himself to get a ticket also. Advancing into the line behind her, Seeing a brilliant chance shaped from his character, He would boldly stand to her side and cross his arms and investigate the sky, Beginning to gesture and nod in agreement with nothing, Seemingly impersonating her in a jokingly fashion with no ill intent, Conscious of if he was being ill mannered.
Stephen
Babette would take notice of the young man and flash him a glare. "Excuse, but is there something I can help you with?If there is not, than I ask you please mind your personal space." She would sigh taking a step ford. "Come along, Charles." She would pause for a moment and turn to look at Baxter. She would than again look at the thing who was not there, whose named seemed to be Charles. He would let out a sigh and motion for Baxter join them in the next carriage. "If you would mind. It seems your services are need as well." She would gently climbe into the carriage with much poise and grace, taking a seat and smothing out her dress, "Well do come one. We havn't got all day." Once they were all situatied, with the slurpuff remaining on the ground, Babette would begin her exsplnation. "Young man, I'm unsure of how much of the situation you have gleened, or if you are aware of the occult, but the situation persist. My name is Babette and I hail fro the Kalos region. Since a young age I have possesed a gift for seeing that which is usally hidden. This is one of those said situations." She would gesture to the empty space beside her. "This is Charles, a young lad I have meet when I uncovered this top in the mansion's library." She would hold the top for them to see. "Upon meeting he asked me to excourt him here, a place he had longed to go with his older brother. Hence why I asked for your assitance. He finds your mannerisms funny, which reminds him of his elder brother." She would exsplaain this all matter afactly
David
Baxter would be pleased to hear that she's from the Kalos region/locale similar to him, Feeling comfortable, "Well I suppose I'm in an extraordinary presence then if your right, And I'm happy to hear he finds my funny, That was my goal", He would let out a delicate giggle as he completed his sentence and began to talk again. "It's also great to know where not strangers due to region, That makes me feel more home, But if I may be honest, I'm more intrigued into your journeys due to your explanation", He would say with clear curiousness, Eager to hear her response.
Stephen
Babette would raise a brow. "My journey? Well I guess it was before your time, fomer champion Baxter, if I recall correctly." She would sigh taking out a thermous and pour herself and her guest a cup of tea. She would gaze at the view from their position half way up. "I was a previous gym leader who specialized in ghost tpe, though it was more of a hobby. I was also the head maid at the Hotel Richissime. In fact we used the 13th floor to house challenges from trainers, but that us un the past now. While I do keep up my duties, I have also taken some time to travel abroad." She would take a sip of her tea. "What brings you hear to this island. I have heard abit about you from Chef Siebold." She would turn her gaze to Baxter.
David
Taken a back by the words, And the truths she drew, Baxter was speechless, And a bit freighted as well that she knew these aspects about him, Especially that part from his early up-bringing, Still he couldn't be anything else but amazed. "W-wow, That's really something", He would say stammering, As he would take a generous gulp of his share of tea and continued, "Well, What brings me here is rather a cliche goal, But I find myself wanting to challenge people of high status, To test myself, Seeing as I think and extensive intellect in battle is rather helpful", He would end, His eyes drifting towards the Slurpuff aboard.
Stephen
Babette would finish her cup of tea. "I don't see it as cliche at all. From what I remember you have always been one to reveal in battle, no? Then your only doing what comes natural." They had reached the crest of the Farris wheel. The slurpuff would wave at them from the ground below. They had stayed below to allow Charles a seat in some capacity though it wasn't clear if he really need one at all. Babette would seem to lost in thought. "Now that I do spend some time thinking on the matter, both of our past do share a similar aspect, we both are orphans "
David
The word 'Orphan' internally struck a wild cord in Baxter, Remember the reality of it all, And the orphanage, Only for a moment would he be in distress as he would perk up again and address her, "Yeah, That aspect is similar, Apples of the same tree", He would have a brief pause, "I believe that as an orphaned child I was free, And I think because of that I am who I am now, Do you think the the same?", Baxter exclaimed out of curiosity, Genuinely curious of her answer to his forward question.
Stephen
Babette would pause for a moment to think. "Free? I guess what you say is true, but I also imagine that includes what type of life we build for ourselves." She would continue to watch as the continue round and round, up and down. "I certainly value the freedom I have but o equally value my need for others in both my profession and personal life."
David
Baxter would take in her words, Having a somewhat stray expression than usual, But transitioning back to himself, "Well, now I just want to battle you out of spirit and feeling of necessity due to your words and intellect", Baxter said with a genuine tone, Feeling a slight exhilarating feeling from the thought all together.
Stephen
Babette would raise a brow. "A battle? Whit me? Hmmm." She would turn her gaze to the space where Charles was supposed to be. "Very well, seeing as you did assist me to fulfill this one's request. I will humor you with a battle, though don't expect me to pull my punches." Once the ride had come to an end, Babette would step from the carriage back out into the sun. The slurpuff would quickly rejoin her. She would turn to meet Baxter. "Where shall we hold such a battle?"
David
Baxter thought for a moment, Ultimately deciding, "I know a peaceful place that flares with battle potential", Baxter exclaimed, He would start to walk into away from the wheel, Gesturing for Babette to follow him through the forest to the
Stephen
Babette would nod and follow. She would return Andre to their ball before heading off on the hike
