This world is inhabited by creatures that we call pokemon. People and pokemon live together by supporting each other, but now the scourge threatens the safety of the entire region. Kohaku has become a dangerous place, where children stay at home and only brave souls go adventuring.
Welcome to KOHAKU. Come for the nightmares. Stay for the tea and crumpets.
The season is SUMMER. It is easy for survivors to forage for food from the land, as there are entire abandoned farms ready for harvest. On the downside, you can smell the corpses.

addi was charmed. she didn't often meet someone as polite as cyrus. "why thank you." she let him lead her to the floor, placing both hands on his shoulders. "is this... is this how you hold someone when you're dancing?"
cyrus lead them both to the dance floor and well it sorta surpised him that she would just throw her arms around him. well at least on his shoulders but that was what he was for "hehe, not quite but let me fix us up real quick" he took one of hands and placed it on his right hip. then he took on of his hands and placed it on her left hip. finally he took both his and her free hand and wrapped it together slightly. "now we should be good" cyrus could only remember the few times his parents danced together and this was one of few stances that they took when they danced.
cyrus could feel the best of the music fill him as he started to move along with the rhyme. his feet would carry him as he slowly rocked back and forth as he continued to follow the flow of the music.

a faint tint of pink rose to addi's cheek as she felt the other's hand on her hip. "well, thank you for correcting me." she looked down at her feet as they danced, tongue sticking out slightly in concentration. musically inclined, yes, but her foot-eye coordination was... well. lacking.
cyrus slightly grinned at addi's comment "sorry about that." a small hint of red formed on the boy's face. he couldn't believe that he was actually going through with this. he knew that if his mother was here, she probably would have either cheered him on or tried to get into the middle to get him away from her. he watched as she was trying to focus on her dancing. he would only let her try to focus as he smiled again "nah, your doing good. just follow my lead" he said as he continued to dance.

addi took a deep breath, forcing her head to look up. she was a musician, she should know how to move to the beat. her eyes closed as she tried to feel the music course through her body. when they opened again, she let cyrus's hands guide her movements, legs moving slightly more naturally now.
"thanks." she whispered, leaning up to peck cyrus's cheek.
cyrus continued to watch her as she took in a deep breathe. it seemed like his little encouragments were working which in all honest made him even impressed with himself. still now things were beginning to get better as she looked back up at him and he could tell that her moves were getting better.
"your wel..." he felt her lips lightly peck his cheek as it only caused him to get even more redder in the face. "holy shit! she just.." yeah that was right she just kissed him. it wasn't a full blown kiss but one none the less. "I guess, I'll be returning the favor now" cyrus grinned as he went in to give his own quick peck on the lips.

amusement filled addi as she saw cyrus flush, before her eyes widened. "a kind favour, should i read into it?" her step faltered a moment, distracted by what had happened. addi stumbled forward, grip on cyrus's hand tightening to try and catch herself.
"i guess i still need to concentrate on dancing..."
luck just wasn't on his side as his attempts in getting a good kiss where denied. he could feel her grip tighten on his as he took a quick step back so that he could stable himself so she wouldn't cause both of them to fall. he manage to hold both of them up as he straighten himself up again. he chuckled slightly "you'll get better, just need practice that is all" he reassured her with another one of his charming smiles.

she was a little skeptical. "i don't know, i've always been clumsy." she lamented. the alcohol seemed to finally click into her head, and all the unintentional flirting was about to become intentional. she wasn't drunk exactly, but her mind was buzzing.
cyrus heard her and only shook his head. it was all that he could really do or say about her dancer. he didn't want to seem rude about it so he just let the last few bits of the song continue to die down on their dancing. however, cyrus didn't wanna hear what she asked him next. "oh great" he really didn't want their conversation to reach this point. plus. now even he was starting to feel the lighter effects of his drink.
"well like I said earlier, I'm from Sol City, I was raised up being the only child while my mother worked as waitress and my father worked as..." he stopped as he thought about his father "my father worked at a casino" cyrus felt a sudden shock run up him as if someone was walking over his grave. he shook for a moment as he hoped and prayed she wouldn't pry deeper into that.

waitress and a casino worker. that sounded slightly standard. she knew how much waitresses made, having had that salary herself, and decided not to pry. typically people of... lower income didn't like to talk about their past as much. "i see. that's interesting, i worked as a waitress before too. i was actually a singer before i came to eos."
it was a bittersweet smile on addi's face now, wishing to feel the smokey jazz club again. "it was lovely." she looked up at his expression, laughing a little. there was an underlining of sadness, something she hoped didn't show. "i think we could both use another drink after that question, don't you agree?"
did he just screw this all up by revealing too much to her. this was one of the reasons why he didn't drink too much. it just allowed people to learn things that everyone and their brothers didn't need to know. cyrus almost felt a bit embarrassed even if it wasn't the complete true. his mother wasn't even a waitress but was actually going through birthing of another child while his father was out and about spending what little money they had.
the thought of even thinking about that man made him want to spit in digest. however, he came back to reality a bit when she mention her time as a waiter and a singer "oh really, then you must be a really good singer" a light smile formed on cyrus's face. Hell, even if he didn't want to drink he could use it right now with all the shit going on in his head "heh, yeah" he didn't wanna spoil the night so anything right now that would keep the moment high he was willing to do.

if there was one thing addi was proud of, it was her singing. she linked arms with cyrus, guiding him back to the bar with a smile. "i hate to brag, but i would say that i was." this time, she ordered a little stronger. "vodka, neat." back up onto the stool she hopped, turning back to cyrus. "i loved singing. i would do it all day if it weren't for the scourge." her expression was wistful, staring off to the side. "i would love to sing jazz in the club i worked at, the people were lovely. they were so wonderfully nice and considerate, it was amazing."
no doubt that club was burned to the ground now, or covered in blood stains from the scourge. "is there something you love to do?"
cyrus let her lead him back to the bar again as he looked at her smile. he followed suit as he took his place back up on the stool and after she order he rose up his hand up "i'll just have another beer" he said as he glanced at her while he waiting on his drink. "hehe, oh I bet..." however his light attitude changed slightly when she mentioned the scourge. however, he wouldn't get much time to lament on his own dealings with it when she bought up her next question.
it made him think of times that he ran around Nerio City lying, stealing, and cheating his way just to manage to keep the home that his mother and him lived in. he did all that just to have to lose it all due to the scourge. he glanced off to the side as he thought about what he loved to do "there was a time when I loved to run around and find things. I would just go around and collect what things I though had value too them. There would be times I be out all day and make my mother worry. I come home with hand fulls of things..." she probably thought it would be silly but it was something that he would still be doing if didn't have the scourge to worry about.

"ah, a collector!" addi's spirit was revitalized. "i used to try and collect stuff but... honestly i would always lose it." she remembered how she would try to collect shiny things, but her local pokemon would love to steal them away from her. "or the local pokemon would take them. but i didn't mind if they weren't of huge value to me."
addi sighed. "i wish we could go back to doing what we loved. it would have been wonderful to stay in hespera and just sing all day long." she took a gulp of her drink, stirring it idly. "would you have stayed in sol, or would you have travelled?"
