[She did promise she'd call him, once she was back to herself. Only she hadn't returned to her proper self, thanks to Henry's panic attack with the scissors. So it takes a bit longer for Lust to be ready to show herself over video.]
[But she'd promised.]
Mr. Dandy?
I hope this is the right contact number.... we spoke when you first arrived. I'm Lust.
[Lust just manages to catch Dandy in the middle of a nap, having just finished his shift from the HORRIBLE, UNFAIR job he was suckered into. It means he's thrown himself into a weird position, limbs sprawled out in ways that wouldn't be comfortable for a normal person, pants just barely hanging onto his ankles.
It's not dignified by any means and he'd probably sleep through it if she didn't say her name.
The secret hot chick called him back!! That's definitely worth the effort of waking up, time to see if she's the cutie he imagined her as. ...If only he didn't leave his gear on the desk across the room!!]
Dammit-- Martini!! Grab the phone, would ya?!
[Dandy's deino is curled up in a corner, lifting her head when her trainer calls her. With a peppy tail wag, she gets up and...headbutts the desk, causing both the gear and the video to tumble onto the floor. Thankfully it lands in a position that doesn't block the feed.
And of course, Dandy tumbles in unison, getting caught in the trap that is his own pants and hanging off the side of his bed with absolutely zero grace. He stares into the feed like a deer caught in headlights, not sure where he went wrong. This...this could've gone better for him.]
[He does NOT like those implications. Scrambling now, Dandy wiggles about, trying desperately to not only right himself back up, but also pull up his pants. Just ANYTHING to look more presentable.]
Son of a-- No! No, no, I wasn't doing anything, I just...got off my stupid job--!!
[He reaches for his gear, but Martini manages to scoop it up and begins running around with it. What a fun new game she just invented: Annoy Dandy.]
[ jack had gotten them both the luxury of an actual hotel room for their time in goldenrod so far. he's done pretty well battling, though he might have to pick up a job to make up the difference in money.
in the meanwhile, it means all the pokemon have a place to chill - sans crybaby, who is still safely tucked up on his shoulder to avoid martini.
and then, of course, dandy walks in and he's holding that. ]
What the hell is that?
[ jack looks absolutely confused. bandit runs up and starts wagging his tail. new friend?! ]
[Dandy's battling hasn't been nearly as good, which is why he walks in still in uniform, looking almost like a completely different person with the way his hair's down. Turns out fancy pants cafes aren't into the whole pompadour look. If he didn't need cash to feed his entourage of tiny animals, and if cafes weren't one of his favorite spots to pick up chicks, he'd totally take advantage of Jack's hotel offer and just bum off him.
Alas, he must be an adult.
Thankfully his mood isn't nearly as sour as it could be, instead holding up his new pal like a fuzzy purple trophy. Martini stands at his heel, that usual deino smile on her face.]
Check it out, she's my new Ass Rat~
[He says that...so lovingly. And yet his stunky doesn't seem any calmer, in fact seeing another person in the room has her hair suddenly standing on end in shock. Oh no, another trainer. She knows her trainer somehow adores her, but he's clearly just confused. This other one could totally spill her horrible secret, her terrible stunky rep as being nothing more than a horrible stink monster. She knew it, she knew it was too good to be true.
Her fears only intensify when Bandit runs over. See, there it is, he already sent his dog after her!! She's frozen in Dandy's arms, but the way he rubs his cheek against hers makes it clear he doesn't notice her distress.]
[ jack repeats the name very flatly, because you know what that looks like? a skunk, she looks like a skunk. but, even as he watches, she seems more terrified than pissed, especially with the expression on her face as bandit comes over. ]
Bandit, come back.
[ he says it as he stands, and bandit puts his ears down but comes back to where jack's standing. he reaches down to pet him before he moves forward, keeping at a distance but he offers a hand to the stunky. ]
It's all right - you're not in any danger here.
[ he assumes she's just nervous because of all the dogs, not because of her stinky secret. ]
[The ever so jittered Ass Rat looks at Jack's hand, then up at Jack himself. ...Then back at his hand. She's not really sure what he's trying to do here, and honestly she's not sure if she trusts it. Hesitantly, she slooooowly stretches out her back leg and taps one of his fingers with a toe.
...Well, at least she doesn't bite like SOME people.]
Found her dumpster diving back at work, which means--
[He takes his stunky and turns her around, holding her up so they're suddenly face to face.]
--someone's gonna need a bath~ Who's a dirty baby? Is it you?
[Dandy uses the same stupid baby voice he normally saves for Jack's dogs and Martini, which means this little purple monster holds a special place in his heart. Here's hoping Jack likes seeing skunks more often.]
[Do you ever get caught off guard by things you just weren't expecting to hear today? ...N-Not that Dandy's surprised some chick is totally asking to go to the prom thing with him, he can barely get them to stop asking him! Haha...ha...
...But, you know, if they weren't, he'd be totally thrown off his game right now. Shouldn't he be the one asking--?? Screw it, who cares!!]
Yeah?
[Shit, that won't do, that's not cool at all.]
I mean, hell yeah!! [Dandy drops the stupid look on his face, only to replace it with a stupider, much more confident expression. His hand swipes through his hair as he grabs his 'gear and tries to angle the feed in a much more dramatic angle.] You just scored yourself the hottest date this side of the galaxy, baby!! Do I look like the kinda guy who would let you down like that~? Like I could ever say no to a girl like you~
...As she should be. He IS someone to get excited about.]
If there's one thing Dandy was born to do, it's gettin' down and shakin' booty.
[And hopefully nothing explodes this time around--]
Now look at you, you never told me you were into fish. [He says as if she's told him much of anything.] Y'know, if that's the case, I might have a gal you'd love to meet.
[The video isn't so close to Dandy in his case and the background is full of greenery. There's an abundance of trees and beautiful flowerbeds, as well as cute stone pathways lined with adorable benches. Anyone with a good eye can tell he's in National Park right now.]
What's the game plan here? I promised the girls park time, so I won't be free until, like...Saturday. [A splashing can be heard from behind him and Dandy whips around.] HEY, FOUNTAINS ARE NOT POOLS!!
[There is in fact a gorgeous fountain behind him and two little heads peek from out of it. A deino and a jangmo-o because of course it's them. Neither of them look like they want to get out.]
[There's a quick message left on Dandy's Gear this morning. One might go so far as to call it frantic. It's well punctuated still at least so that's something.]
that it was unexpected, for me...its difficult to explain
[Why are there so many rabbits in this world, he can't escape them-
He decides to switch from text to video since it seems easier to get his point across that way with his Gear propped up so he has use of his hands. Mostly because...both of his hands are holding a Scorbunny beneath his little arms, the bunny kicking his legs every so often like he wants to run.]
[When Legosi gets Dandy's feed in return, it looks like he's in a forest, a forest...he must've been in for a long time because he looks very tired and very dirty.
Turns out Viridian Forest...is a big forest.]
Look, if your animals are pissin' you off, just put 'em in their balls until they calm the hell down. They couldn't make this any easier for you.
[Oh Dandy, you poor thing. Legosi would try to be more helpful if he weren't in a very different part of the region himself right now dealing with his own unique, first-world problems.]
It's not...I'm not mad at them, I'm just...not sure how to deal with them sometimes. And I don't want them to associate being put away as a bad thing.
[That's how you raise Pokemon that break out of their balls every two seconds.]

MARTINI, QUIT IT!! I need this call!!
no subject
It's alright, just give her something else to play with. Act like you're much more interested in something else, she'll switch to that.
My Chanteuse is the same way.

greetings, here's the other dumbass that puts up with dandy.
thankfully, dandy is turning her away to talk to her - and jack absolutely recognizes that baby voice. ]
Pro tip - try washing her in some tomato sauce first. It'll probably help with the smell.
[ look it looks like a skunk and probably smells like one, but jack isn't gonna tell the dude not to love what he loves - which is apparently ass rat.
the skitty on his shoulder chirps at ass rat. it actually sounds like she tries to say ass. hello?? ]

[That sure is Rose's bright, beaming face filling the gear screen before pulling back.]
I hope you aren't busy, but I have a very important question for you!
Would you go to the prom with me?

Shouldn't he be the one asking--??Screw it, who cares!!]Yeah?
[Shit, that won't do, that's not cool at all.]
I mean, hell yeah!! [Dandy drops the stupid look on his face, only to replace it with a stupider, much more confident expression.

[Well that was easy! Now Rose has a date, which seem to be a part of this whole prom tradition.]
And on a ship! What a brilliant idea! I hope we see wild sea Pokemon.
no subject
...As she should be. He IS someone to get excited about.]
If there's one thing Dandy was born to do, it's gettin' down and shakin' booty.

Yeah, sure, fine by me.

...So yeah, just name a meet up point, I guess.
no subject
And I haven't gone any further than Goldenrod. How far have you gone?
[Rose is fine waiting until next week, she needs to get ready anyway. Buy new camping supplies and talk with her team to see who wants to come.]
no subject
[Dandy would've honestly cried if Goldenrod was his cut off.]
You've never been to, like...the islands? Or that one place that has that rock throwing petting zoo? Preeeetty sure that's also an island...
[He means the Safari Zone and he shouldn't be allowed back in there.]
...You got a monster that can surf, dontcha?
no subject
No, I haven't. What are they like?
I...don't know.... oh it's been so long since I went surfing!
[Don't mind Rose, she's just trying to run away from heavy and complicated feelings brought up recently.]
