The Birchwild is not Tuesday's favourite place.
Say what you will about the Timberland being creepy and blahblahblah, but at least the Timberland isn't crawling with corruption. Yep, she's still not over the whole Briar Beast affair at the Noonlight Raid, but of course Tuesday doesn't learn from her mistakes. What would she do if she encountered another corrupted pokémon? Try to burn it down, obviously, because that worked out so well for her last time.
For now the Birchwild seems perfectly peaceful, though, and with her Deerling by her side, the catgirl approaches a large fairy ring, intending on collecting some of those delicious mushrooms as supplies for her T.E.A Shop.

<'Hey, T, should you really be doing that?'> Bartók questions with less of a cautious tone and more of a 'Girl, what the fuck are you doing?'. Yet, Tuesday almost seems to ignore the currently brown fawn (it's winter, after all) and continues to carefully collect mushrooms.
"Of course I should. Now, watch my back, there's wild pokémon all around this area."
Another mushroom is placed in her basket, unbothered.

Birchwild Grove is full of such beautiful sounds. The rustling of wind on tree, the giggles of fairy pokemon skittering about, and the constant chanting of a determined Cleo as she scurries through the leaves: "Red meat, white meat, vegetable. Red meat, white meat, vegetable. Red meat, white meat…"
Mushrooms spin to face her, claws clicking. Wide eyes akin to the googly eyes pasted along the top of her screen stare into her soul. She meets its gaze for a second, then looks up. A pokeball icon hovers over its head.
"Vegetable!"
She grins, unleashing her freshly acquired Woobat. Her Mudkip would have his time to shine later, against Pokemon he was strategically sound for. "Woobat,"—there's distinctly less guilt about not naming a soon to be sacrificed Pokemon—"you know what to do!" She ducks back into safety as winds gather, ending up fairly close to Tuesday's mushroom-gathering spot. "Oh, um hi! Hope this ain't, are you...? Uh, howdy. Hi. Don't mind us. We'll try to be in and out real quick." Her nervous blabbering is punctuated by Woobat's squeal of noise as the first of many blades of wind going flying. |

"Vegetable!" A stranger shouts, causing cat ears to perk up. The Alchemist's mismatched gaze wanders over her surroundings, eyes of ruby and sapphire soon falling upon Cleo, her Woobat, and the Paras they face. Are Paras vegetables? Well, they do have mushrooms, but why is this cute girl looking for vegetable? Ooooh."Hey hey. Trying to get that coronation invite?" Tuesday had read people's speculations about the requirements on r/UNOVR, but since she had gotten her invite without doing anything (probably because she has sacrificed like... 12 pokémon to the Precipice Shrine), she never cared much. Still, how could she not help a fellow Precipice enthusiast? "Her, Bartók, help our friend here knock that thing out."<'You got it, boss.'>As Tuesday says, her pokémon does, swiftly kicking the Paras.

Cleo's eyes light up, surprised by Tuesday's unexpected help. Knock a couple minutes off her battle plan, why don't you?
"I am! I, y'know, I honestly can't believe I completely forgot about it until now, I've just been so busy, because of real life stuff, and, and now I have to go running around trying to catch things. I just hope I actually have the requirements right." She probably could've just checked it herself and confirmed, but it's not very player-like to go into the backend to figure things out. "But with your help, thanks by the way, I think I'll make it! Are you, um, will you be… did you get an invite?"
Cleo's prattling just barely manages to drown out the sound of Woobat's screeching winds as the bat sends another flurry of slicing gusts. |

Just like that, the Paras falls. All in a day's work! "Ha. If it's about sacrifices then you're probably good as long as you do a few. Precipice's big on those. Just... try to avoid giving her fish, maybe? She's kinda sick of those these days." Tuesday talks about the Precipice as if it were alive; as if she were aware of its needs and wants. How can she know this? Well, the one the Precipice is dedicated to had told her this once, but of course she doesn't bother with explaining as much. Instead, she just gives Cleo the brightest and most confident of smiles. "I sure did get an invite! I'll see you there if you get one, yeah? I'm Tuesday, by the way. Good luck with the hunt." The catgirl winks, for while many players aren't fond of talk of sacrificing pokémon, to Tuesday it is no more than a mechanic — a means to an end. It's good to meet others who have the guts to think so as well.

Cleo nods, her catching pokeball clutched in her hands as she gives Tuesday her full, albeit a bit confused, attention. Questions bubble in her mind. The Paras could wait. What would it do – crawl away while unconscious? Or despawn. Oh no. Her eyes flit away for a second to check. Nope. Still there. Okay. Great.
"You—"
Her eyes drag back to the pretty catgirl. The pretty girl that's just winked at her. Well then. It's not like she needed to have coherent thought anyways.
She squeezes the pokeball like it’s a set of pearls, pink dusting her cheeks. The silence lasts a moment longer than it should, Cleo's already poor ability to figure out when to speak during conversations completely eviscerated by that wombo combo of smile and wink.
Eventually, the reboot of her mind completes. "You… Right! Yeah, invite. The event. Seeing you there. Right. That'd be, um, yes! Nice. Tuesday? Nice name. Hi. Yes. I'm uh, I. That's. Nice name! Oh, I already…" She flushes, peeling a hand off her pokeball, and then offering a hand to the catgirl. "I'm Cleo!" She quickly swaps hands once she realizes she's offered the one still clutching the pokeball. Oh no, is the other one sweaty? Would it be rude to retract it now? Too late, she's invested. |

Cat ears twitch. Once. Twice. Three times. As if existing in perfect contrast with Cleo's shy fumbling and hesitance, Tuesday is perfectly calm. Hands on her hips and basket full of mushrooms by her side, she gives her new acquaintance her undivided attention now that the little pest has been appropriately dealt with. When the introduction is made, she gives another smile in return. "Nice to meet you, Cleo." The handshake is quick, firm, and business-like. The kind of handshake that belongs to someone who makes of such greetings a part of their day-to-day life. Once she lets go of the Swimmer's hand, she gestures to open her UI, sending a friend request to Cleo herself. "So we can find each other during the event, right?" She beams, assuming Cleo would of course want this friend request. Why wouldn't she, right? Tuesday is fucking great. "I should get going, but you should stop by the T.E.A shop if you're ever in Briarbane. Only opens on Tuesdays!"Get it?

New friend request from Tuesday
[Accept] [Decline]
Cleo's eyes dart to the notification, then up to Tuesday's mismatched eyes and smile. A friend. Her face lights up, an all-teeth smile squeezing her eyes near-shut. "Yes! Um, I'll find you! I'll write you, even, as soon as I, when the invite… if you want!" She's not so silly to think that a friend request necessarily guarantees friendship, but… it's a first step towards one. An avenue!
Alas, all good things must come to an end. Tuesday must leave. Of course. She must be pretty busy. It was nice of her to even stop and help at all!
Disappointment bubbles in Cleo's chest—"Do you want to help me hunt for the rest?" on the tip of her tongue—but in her chest she forces it to stay. Her smile wavers a touch. "Right. Right! Sure, the T.E.A shop! At Briarbane. On Tuesday!" She does not get it. But you go, girl, all the power to you queen. You open your shop whenever you damn well please.
Cleo opens her UI, accepting the friend request as she does, and quickly scrawls the reminder into her journal. IMPORTANT!!!! T.E.A SHOP, BRIARBANE!!! TUESDAY!!!!!!
"I'll see you around?" she asks.
