Oran Berry Sleepover 2.0
Who: Oran Berries and honestly anyone else who wants to sneak in. No rules, just right.
What: It's time to force everyone into the same room again for the traditional human bonding ritual.
Where: The Spire
When: Early June
Warnings: Possible coma mentions, will add more if things come up.
"It might be time for another sleepover."
[It's hard for an Oran Berry member to say no toMom Mightyena, so you can bet A.B.A has taken this suggestion to heart. At least this time around, most people are aware of her intentions, and she was smart enough to mention her plans ahead of time.
She is, however, still recovering. Despite her dislike for admitting weakness, she's reached out to her fellow guildmates in hopes to find help in herding everyone together for her. Possibly even you! Let's cure loneliness together and make sure no one sleeps by themselves tonight!]
[ooc: This is a mingle style log! Feel free to make a top level and tag around! Although this is happening in The Spire, I honestly don't care if Pokémon from other guilds have heard the news and wanna sneak in on this. Everyone deserves to experience the joy that is being crammed into the same room as a bunch of other people.]

A: Arriving fashionably late to this
He didn't fear whatever punishment might be in mind- Mighteyena didn't seem the type to be harsh, but it was likely he would hold no regret for his actions, and that's where things got more complicated.
A.B.A. towers over him, and it makes his fur bristle even more looking up at her- but then, wait.
Why did this pokemon look so exhausted? If it was some kind of enforcer sent to gather him... well he wasn't exactly intimidated anymore.]
What do you want? [He asks bluntly, expression openly skeptical, caught somewhere between apprehension and genuine confusion.]
Perfectly on time!
...She also doesn't have the energy for any physical confrontation... How upsetting. She'll have to play her cards right if she has any hope to make this happen.]
Your cooperation. Nothing more, nothing a mess.
[She means..."Nothing more, nothing less." That said, she is incredibly proud of herself for not straight up threatening murder right away.]
🥺🧡
His head tilts slightly- frowning, unintentionally scowling a little so that the tip of his fangs just start to show-
But then, the way she botches the turn of phrase hits- its like an off beat note in a perfect symphony. Something so utterly out of place in a situation that feels like a hostile confrontation. His face scrunches up slightly at it, that sense of confusion growing ever so slightly more.]
And what do you need my cooperation with? Does Mighteyena have a problem with me?
[If she didn't want messes he might as well be forward with what his concerns are. Although whether or not things actually got messy would depend highly upon her explanation. Honestly, a threat of murder would probably make him feel like he was back home.]
Okay, my turn to be super late
And she hates being wrong.]
It's...possible, but that isn't for me to say.
["I have no idea."]
I'm simply coordinating the normal social activity known commonly as a sleepover. Many of the Oran Berries find it enjoyable. I'm asking you to join us, or face punishment.
[She pauses.]
Please.
Takes your hand, we can be late......... TOGETHER
He blinks, his confusion almost entirely eclipsing his irritation at this point. So... he wasn't in any kind of trouble? Why the intimidation then...?]
You... What.
[Never mind that last part as well. His tone is entirely flat with utter bewildered disbelief. He'd been invited to social gatherings at Rhodes Island. Most of which he refused. And those people often stopped asking. But the invitations were rare. He didn't exactly give off the impression of a person who wanted to participate in those kinds of things.
... then again. With the abysmal lack of finesse she'd handled things already, maybe it wasn't so surprising she'd made the mistake of asking him.]
This is... mandatory? [He was trying to still be mildly hostile- but his brain was putting in quite the effort to process what exactly he was being told.] What kind of punishment? [What would she do? Pin him down and tickle him? He was having a hard time imagining any other kind of consequences given the gravity of the situation.] And what if I don't find it enjoyable?
[How did he end up in a guild filled with people whose first priority was holding hands (metaphorically under these circumstances) and making daisy chains rather then actual survival?????? Mighteyna was a fighter????? Wasn't she?????]
no subject
The punishment is...execution!
[Oh, okay, well...so much for not threatening murder.
A.B.A doesn't act as if the very idea is absolutely absurd, almost like she threatens execution on the regular. Join the friendly bonding activity or die, the choice is his.]
no subject
He looks her up and down, looking for any kind of sign of a lie. But she seems entirely serious- Although not all that hostile- Like she expects him to just go along with it- What?!
It wasn't like he was a stranger to death threats, but never under such absurd circumstances?!
Without even realizing it himself though... he had fallen into a ready stance- prepared for the worst already. Ridiculous or not- A threat was a threat-
He works his jaw for a few seconds, recovering the braincells he lost just hearing that.]
And.... Mightyena approves of this? [He says slowly, almost as if he was speaking to a toddler. Because if she did, he sure missed that part of the fine print. She was definitely more bloodthirsty than he thought.
Somehow, he doesn't just cave to her demands and agree to go to the sleepover- in fact that doesn't even seem to be an option he's actively considering yet.]
no subject
Yes, Mightyena has always been a big supporter of this activity. It was her that proposed I organize this for the second time, the first was quite successful.
[Mightyena liked that her guild was getting along, not that A.B.A was threatening to kill people over it.]
no subject
Also this was the second time? Second time for the sleepover or second time for her running around threatening to kill people if they didn't do what she said...?
It had to be the first. Or both. Maybe both.
He's getting a headache.]
Okay, fine. So. If I go with you- [For a beast half her height, maybe he shouldn't still consider fighting an option.] Then what do I have to put up with to satisfy your. Sleepover.
[He knew how to be a people deterrent when he wanted to. Trying to physically fight her was still high on his list of possibilities to handle the situation- but if that didn't work, standing in a corner glaring at everyone was something he could manage...]
