OOC: Gawd, why must I always come late for the important occasions?
Happy Birthday Flissie!
^_______________^
*Hands over Lance plushie* Heh, at least I didn't forget the present. ^^ Wait, you said there was a thread for this? I'll just go post my congratulations there as well then. ^^

"Sound great." Cid concured with Nicole's suggestion, smiling at the general feeling of happiness in the air has he walked forward. Curly had taken on much the same, flowing gracefully and emanating a strong aura of positive emotions around himself. "The only question is which." the boy said, gesturing towards the myriad of different establishments advertising all kinds of edible things. They would certainly be able to find whatever they wanted there, the only problem would be to do so before the crowd got ahead of them.
Nightmare trodded along in a far more alert manner, picking up on Mystery's intent peering almost immediately. He didn't even really need to ask but did so anyway. "Mii-mighty-mightyyeena, miigh-tyy?"(You sense something, don't you?) he inquired, casting a glance at the Misdreavus "Mi-ghty-mightyena-eena?" (Is that presence back?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, the presence in question followed her master silently, keeping a watchfull eye on the crowd as they made their way to a quite side area. "Moderate..." Nicoli said quietly, "Those three appear to be the very embodiment of mediocrity, and yet..." his gaze grew distant "And yet I have the feeling that there is more at work here than meets the eye. This requires further investigation."
The Umbreon nodded, preparing to set off once more, but was halted by a simple handsign from her trainer. "Not you Umbreon..." he said softly, reaching for one of the pok?balls on his belt "The Misdreavus already knows your aura, and the Mightyena has caught your scent. For this assignment I need someone unknown to them." he threw the pok?ball with a flick of his wrist, unleashing its occupant, an unusually vicious-looking little Sableye who performed a quick sweep of the area with its crystaline eyes before turning to its master. "Ah, Sableye." Niocoli said, turning to face the ghost pok?mon "I have need of your skills for an assignment of...delicate nature." he cast a glance at Cid and the others as they passed before continuing "Most delicate nature."
The Sableye nodded, casting a triumphant smirk at the Umbreon. Obviously the master's favourite pok?mon must have failed him in some way for this assignment to be delegated onward. The Umbreon threw the ghost pok?mon a murderous glare, much to the Sableye's amusement, but didn't comment.
"Those four..." Nicoli said, indicating the group that had recently passed them "I want you to follow them, but be discreet. That Misdreavus can tell people's auras and that Mightyena has a well honed sense of smell. You have something to counteract both of those abilities, do you not?"
The Sableye bowed in response, casting a unlike-some-people glance at the Umbreon beside him before fading from view as he began flitting through the crowds, tracing the group he had been assigned to keep watch of.
