OK. I will.

"There, I knew you'd think of something. Excellent."

-Elise has left the stage, somewhat disheartened by the judges comments-
Elise:-sighs- I guess I should've gotten some help...
-Momohime puts her arm around her-
Momohime:<Lady Elise, we tried our best. It was our first contest after all.>
Elise:I guess.
-Straw hears the judges comments-
Ow. I don't think she's gonna take that well....

Pakhet gently pets Snofallet.
Pakhet: <Aww~ You're a beautiful lil' girl, yannow~
Hey! I've got something for you and your sort-of sister~>
Pakhet ~winks~ in two Rrom bandannas similar to the green one she's wearing. One of them is black with gold detailing and the other red with gold detailing. She holds up the fabrics to Snofallet.
Pakhet: <You get to choose~>

-Joseph dials Pent's number-
Do you know Pentigan? I'm calling him. What do you want me to say?

"Oh, yeah! Pent! Good, good. Yeah, uhm, fill him in on what I told you, right, ask his professional opinion as a member of PEFE, yeah? Thanks!"
Fwomph
-Pent answers his phone-
'Ello?
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
Backstage, calling Pent
Hi, Pent! It's Joseph, don't know if you know me that well, but whatever.
Anyway! Munn (you know him, right?) told me that the mon population of Lumiose was very much on edge, like there was a predator around or something. But a predator isn't obvious, so we're sort of trying to figure out what's going on.
Since you're a member of PEFE, and Munn doesn't exactly have a phone, I figured I'd ask you what we should do and where we should look for the problem.

"Yeah, yeah. Tell him, uh, tell him about the scale of this. I mean, like, this is almost unnatural, just how much the city's spooked."

Snöfallet: Eeeee?
(After a surprising amount of deliberation, the Sneasel gently clasps the red-and-gold bandana. Meanwhile, Eldräv gives her father a big soppy lick.)
Tastes better on the way back down.
Backstage, calling Pent
Oh, right! Like, this is a bigger deal than we're making it sound. It's really unnatural, what's going on, I mean.

Pakhet smiles softly at Snofallet as she gently takes the bandanna from Snofallet's grasp and ties it around her head.
Pakhet: <There you go~ Pretty as a picture, little sweet~>
Montu meanwhile chuckles at Eldräv's lick and gives her a soft nookie.
Montu: <Spirited I see! Like your old man!>
Pakhet walks over to Eldräv and ties the black-and-gold bandanna around her head like she did with Snofallet.
Pakhet: <There we go~! Aw, the two are like sibling~>

What do you mean?
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Fwomph
Huh... Non-obvious source of unease...
-He paces-
I've got two ideas. Either the local population of Espurr-line have gotten angry at something, or ghost-types have risen up in the Catacombs...
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
Backstage, calling Pent
Oh!
-he says to Munn-
Pent says it's either Espurrs getting pissed or ghosts coming from the catacombs.

"Hmm. Maybe... wait, no, no no, that can't be it. It'd be much simpler if it was either of those, I'd be able to pick up on those. Part of the job and all, eldritchy things. It's not that. There's, there's, there's no Obscura, no Psychic energy, no Aura, none of that stuff. Does he have any other ideas?"

Eldräv: ;3
(Snöfallet blinks at the bandana.)
Alex: So, Cleo... you're a pro trainer, right? Do these cubs look healthy to you?
Tastes better on the way back down.
Backstage, calling Pent
-back to Pent-
No, it's not any of that. He can tell, somehow. Crazy eldritch stuff.
Any other ideas?
Fwomph
Okay, alternate ideas, alternate ideas...
-He paces more-
Either there's some big mean motherhubbard prowling around at night... Or it's vampires.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
Backstage, calling Pent
Oh.
-to Munn-
Either a big mean motherhubbard prowling around at night or vampires.

"Vampires... mmm, I don't know. That may just be it. Most of the action, you know, barking, strange noises, disappearances of mons happens overnight... but something tells me no. As for some giant thing, that sounds close. I don't know, I'm kind of playing all of this by ear."
Backstage
"Alright, alright. I'm calm."
He stops pacing.
"But, I do think you should call them. Just in case. Ask them for me, please?"
