Though there was not that much difference between the two so far as the above goes, except the pokemon was not confused, he was obsessed with *you*. > "Anything wrong?"

Splash cried out as he jumped into the Monk's arms. "My love!" "Hi mom!" Having already memorized that voice so she could pick it out from a crowd, Marcia takes her eyes away from Splash and sees what her daughter has selected for a costume. Charcoal black skeleton - not "flesh and bones" skeleton with a lot of melanin, but just the bones, connected by nothing more than traces of char - wearing chainmail and sword like a medieval knight, though with curves that suggest the armor was fashioned for a female. "Neat, huh? I flipped through that book of famous people like you suggested. Joan D' Arc, after burning to death." "That's nice, dear." Aerie takes in Marcia's dress. "Sayyy, you aren't trying to hit on anyone, are you?" "WHAT?" "Well, that costume and all, that's like in this one story that fake Web site had, something about baring your flesh to seduce Daddy. Not sure what it was talkin' about." Marcia smiles. "No, dear, I'm not trying to hit on anyone." Meanwhile, near the door, a dead ringer for the lead singer of any number of the pop culture boy bands breezes in, smoothing his hair with one hand as his other glides between Splash and the greeter monk. "'Scuse me, amigo, but Murasaki asked me to tell you she wanted to meet you in those trees just outside. Something about a private rendevous." Splash lets go of the monk, his attention entirely on the newcomer. "Murasaki? Where?" The pseudo-idol shrugs, gesturing to the vast expanse of forest nearby. "She just said 'in the trees'. She wasn't too specific..." He winks conspiratorially. "...or maybe she knew you'd find her eventually, huh?" Splash needs no further prompting. "MURASAKI!!!" He dashes off towards the forest...unknown to everyone including himself, following a path that leads right to the tower's back door. Dee nods and walks in with only a nod to the greeter. He then starts scanning the party, deciding to go for a challenge and using only his eyes and ears to locate the mother of his child, and the child herself. One of them would likely need a chaperone before the night was out, and he fears it might well be even odds which one would need it more. TBC?
