Quest: Total Whiteout (with Dolly)

Thanks to all the presents she received, Noelle will be more than warm enough for this quest! She arrives with ear warmers, a scarf, and a jacket to protect her from the cold. It's a little dangerous for a Grass-type, but as a member of the Clinic and a Pokemon with Heal Pulse, she feels an obligation to go help those poor Pokemon who were trapped in the avalanche.

They find themselves heading into the storm. She can't help but feel nostalgic, despite the importance of their mission. "Does it snow where you came from?" she asks, all of a sudden.

Quest: Tough Luv

Any conversation before the mission is polite, distant, and stilted. Even though she's trying to change, Noelle can't help but feel awkward around Emporio. How should she feel about a strange kid who knows too much-- a kid who, by the way, Noelle blasted directly in the face with an attack last time they met?

All that goes out the window once the Hydro Pump hits him. She screams, and everything goes white.

Earlier, she had been attempting to resolve the situation as peacefully as she can. The next thing she knows, she's gasping for air, the beach is littered with fallen leaves, and nearly a dozen Luvdisc are laying unconscious in the sand.

What did she do? Oh no. No no no-- she can't spiral again. She needs to focus on him.

Running to his side, Noelle uses another Heal Pulse to try and take the edge off his wounds. (Deja vu, she thinks.) "E-Emporio, can you hear me? Are you okay?"

The Spire's Gaming Club (with Eleanor & Maya)

[holidaygirl1225]

SINTO brought tons of strange and unique gifts, but word spreads quickly around the Spire about a gift very alien to this world: a handheld gaming console, belonging to one Noelle Holiday. By laying it carefully on the ground, she can still manage to play by very carefully manipulating the buttons and directional pad with her front hooves. Since it still has games pre-loaded into it, she doesn't even need to fumble with cartridges. If it runs out of battery, an Electric-type can charge it!

She's been willing to share, of course (though she makes sure to get her gaming fix). Blue light and chiptune music fills the low-tier communal housing in those dreary Winter days.

Maybe word gets to Eleanor and Maya; maybe they just wanted to check in on Noelle. Either way, they both find themselves watching as she explains to them how to play a turn-based RPG called Dragon Blazers II.

"... so you make a party of four heroes," she says, "each with their own talents. Like a fantasy novel, if you've ever read one. There's the knight, and the ranger, and the wizard... stuff like that. You get into battles, and everyone takes their turn attacking..."

She's fully rambling on and on.
