[OPEN] STRIKE THREE, YOU'RE OUT-
Who: Gongenzaka, and Y O U
Where: Carnival Grounds!
When: Day 86, During and After performances
What: GOIN ON PATROL
Warnings: None... ...Except Team Skull Grunts being dumb I guess
[Patrol is Gongenzaka's job. In fact, it's his ONLY job, so he tries his best to do a good job of it. The difficulty of the task, of course, varies location to location-here in particular, it's not too bad...even during the Performance Week, when the gates are wide open and bringing visitors inside in droves, he's finding more often than not that the Carnival is relatively peaceful. His patrols, if anything, a calming walk.
Occasionally however...]
I, the man Gongenzaka, must ask that you cease harassing the cinder spirit.
[Some trainers feel that the 'pokemon' here are open season. Cinder spirits aren't even the only issue-aside from them, Gongenzaka has not only had to turn trainers away from other workers, but even-]
YO YO YO uh...Dog? [In one particular case, a pair of teens in black with bandannas on their face are the problem. Both are trying to rap.
Both are failing. Badly. The wild arm gestures do nothing, and Gongenzaka frowns at them.] You think you can trot up in the middle of OUR battle? You fixing for a match??
I, the man Gongenzaka, have heard complaints from other visitors, [he replies evenly, frowning.] Given your conduct...I, the man Gongenzaka, must ask you to leave!
UH, WHAT? [The other teen gives an exaggerated huff, and a shrug, before she butts in herself.] 'Conduct'? We look like old farts? We do improv music...
[..........
The exchange does not last long.
Suffice to say-] YO! PUT US DOWN, MAN!!
YOU SAID THAT WAS YOUR NAME RIGHT?? YOUR TRAINER CAN'T BE COOL WITH THIS YO!!
[Gongenzaka can be seen quite 'calmly' hauling these two out by the backs of the shirts, trotting toward the gates for now.]
[[OOC - Cinder Spirit mention is its own mini prompt, for those wanting something slightly more open than the Team Skull Escort-you're free to have some npc's pelting your own muse with pokeballs for the prompt too! But if you have something else in mind, just let me know and we can plot something out!]]

no subject
[He won't interrupt his patrolling otherwise, though, until Gon kicks them out.]
no subject
Also, Yamato is treating this as a five-minute work break.
He'll only talk to Gongenzaka when he walks back after having gotten rid of the troublemakers. ]
So, uh. I guess I'm going to send any future troublemakers your way?
[ Truthfully, though, he doubts he's going to find many of them. Unless they somehow manage to break into wardrobe or any of the other storage areas. ]
no subject
Right to face Yamato. With twitching ears, he pauses, and then chuckles.] Hmm! I, the man Gongenzaka, should hope so, considering it is my job! Though with any luck, you won't see too many of them here.
[Now then, that aside.] Auh...And you are, however..?
no subject
...Mn! But, that aside, how did things go?
no subject
Why do you only have one day? Are we leaving soon?
no subject
[Yes, now that's a good plan..! As is.] Mmnn...all the same, we have perhaps...three days left, I should think. If there is anything you wish to see of Alola before then...this is very likely your final chance to do so, that and whenever your next break is during that time.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, I hope so too. Don't think trouble is a thing we want.
[ He sticks out his hand, instinctively. ] Yamato. I just joined about a week ago.
no subject
And heck, still smaller than a certain someone's champion state...Gongenzaka gives an instinctive bow of the head before taking Yamato's hand, shaking it firmly.] Gongenzaka Noboru, [he introduces, the archaisms of his speech persisting.] It is a pleasure to meet you, Yamato! I, the man Gongenzaka, see that changes have come forth rather quickly then...
[He hopes he's right, and you aren't just. Well. Someone from a place where glowing stripes are common.]
~I have no idea if this is actually correct whhhhoooop~
...Ahem. He clears his throat.] Mnnm...in a sense. If we wish for a seat nearer to the show, we must pay-a discounted, but no less existing-fee...however, there is space near the back where those of us who work here are able to watch all the same.
no subject
But I don't think I've earned any ticket money. I guess it can't be that bad to watch from the back!
no subject
[Wait...for...it-] It is UNFORGIVABLE..! At the very least, I, the man Gongenzaka, could have found time for one of the runs you would have during this week..!
[Nothing they can do about it now though. Besides, they both know Gongenzaka would rather use magic before skipping out on a responsibility. (Actual magic, not magic cards, obviously. There is a dIFFERENCE-)] You may have earned something, but chances are, it won't be paid until after we move on...
But! As you said, it isn't so difficult to watch from the back, most likely!
[He doesn't do it often, to be fair...]
no subject
no subject
...they are all 'repeat' offenders... [Team...Skull...]
no subject
no subject
...Though... [His nose twitches.] ...Admittedly, I, the man Gongenzaka, cannot be entirely certain that those were the same ones from before...
...They all smell quite...similar...
[That sounds somewhat creepy, Gon.]
no subject
no subject
Not everyone can become a gigantic wolf, Gon.He's a liiiiitle bit startled by the very firm handshake and the archaisms of his speech - he's not used to this kind of formality, and it shows in how he's a little bit more awkward and maybe the slightest bit thrown off. ]Ah... yeah. They did come pretty fast... [ Faster than expected, although based on what he's seen from the rest of the Carnival staff the changes tend to get more and more extreme the longer they stay around. Or unless Things happen, but then again based on eavesdropping and talking to people that information isn't exactly forthcoming. ]
I mean, it happens, right? Your changes... [ A pause, because while he's trying to figure out how to put things across diplomatically to someone he's just met he also realises it's... kind of offensive, oops. ] Sorry, forget I said anything.
no subject
[He coughs, Now hitting the awkward matter.] However, following a particularly dangerous conflict on carnival grounds, I, the man Gongenzaka, had to undergo incredibly extensive medical care...
...As such, more extreme changes came upon me....
[He died and had to regrow in an egg.]
no subject
[That said.] They all appear to wear bandana masks, as well as black and white clothing, with the mark of a skull over their shirt.
...Realistically, they're harmless, but... [He sighs.] ...They have been irritating other customers, as well as employees...
no subject
no subject
...The struggle is that I, the man Gongenzaka, cannot be sure it is deliberate on their part. [He rubs his face, sighing...] ...Which unfortunately, means that they're consistently oblivious to what they're doing...
[So...they keep coming back...]
no subject
A pause, and then his tone is slightly a liiiiitle bit unsure - he wants to make sure he got it right, okay. ] Oh, so the changes were... because of your medical care? [ He winces, and there's a small grimace. ] Sounds painful.
no subject
I'll talk to them next time I see them!
no subject
He has seen too much, Yuuya-] Auh....I-It is quite fine, Yuuya. No doubt, there are other matters to worry about...
no subject
AUH- [He stammers, hurriedly moving onward with the matter.] Th-That said however, you should realize that such events are incredibly rare..!! The chances of such a thing occurring once again...
...I, the man Gongenzaka, should say it is quite slim!
no subject
no subject
I, the man Gongenzaka, may have been throwing out the same ones, of course... ...but it is not quite that often...
no subject
[ Even he knows when a conversation is veering into MASSIVELY AWKWARD TERRITORY, so all he can do is give a slightly embarrassed chuckle. And then promptly changes topics like that doesn't make it even more awkward. ]
D'you think those-- [ further vague gestures in the direction of the goons Gon has just chased away ] --are going to come back anytime soon?
no subject
...I, the man Gongenzaka...cannot be certain that these are the same ones...
no subject
He straightens. ]
I'll leave you to your work, and I'll be sure to let you know if I come across any more of them.
no subject
[Ahhhh but he sighs, shaking his head. Nothing to dwell on, and he manages a smile to Yamato in the meantime.] I, the man Gongenzaka, appreciate it-such notices help us greatly, after all!
no subject
no subject
[Give him a second to fish a watch out of his bag....he isn't exactly the sort for a wrist watch!!] ...Twenty minutes. So, not too long, fortunately!
