-ere.

[Beast, for anyone who remembers her first broadcast some time ago, seems to have gotten the hang of the PokéGear, holding it so that it better shows her from the shoulder up, outside Eve's Garden Circus in Goldenrod.]

Reckon that's workin' now. Ye can 'ear me an' such.

[She looks. Irritated? Stern? Strained? Maybe it's just her face.]

Been 'ere longer 'n I care t'be, but apparently that isn' about to change, so I'll introduce myself proper.

Name's Beast. Animal tamer by trade. [She snorts a bit derisively before muttering under her breath-] Though looks like everyone 'n their brother is claimin' t'be the same in this place.

Any 'ow, I figured to thank the people who tried to talk t'me when I first arrived. Ye'll forgive I weren' exactly the 'appiest woman at the time, seein' as I think takin' that sort a arrival calmly might mean yer off in the 'ead.

Didn' get most a yer names, but I appreciate what ye done.

[Which is the closest she'll come to apologizing for how she treated some of you. Take it or leave it.]

That said, 'll be takin' up at the circus time bein'. 'd like t' 'ave a few words with anyone who considers themself a part a that. In person, preferably. This gear'll do if yer away.

Good day t'ye.

[Look at that- so polite.]

[Well this woman...definitely looks a bit like Envy's sister, Lust. If Lust had short, curlier hair.]

Didn't realize that I'd need to get interviewed before joining.

Name's Envy, I'm just in it for the month. Still want to talk to me?

Don' think of it as an interview so much as a vettin'. In't that normal fer any job, no matter the term?

[God, Joker, have you just been hiring any old person???]

[He laughs.]

Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it? I'm not really used to having the kind of job you'd get hired for.

You're at the circus now?

[He doesn't really mind going along with the vetting. This is the first interesting 'job' he's had here.]

Well that'd be a question I pursue.

[Not that they don't hire people unused to work at Noah's Ark Circus- but it's somethin' you look in to.]

Rightly.

Well, then you can ask about it when I get there. Lucky for you, I just got back into Goldenrod yesterday.

Where at the circus should I be looking for you?

[He's already on his way.]

Yeah, lucky me-

[It's mumbled, but.]

Big top, rightly.

See you there.

[It doesn't take long for Envy to arrive at the circus, mainly because he's riding on his Houndoom instead of walking across town.]

[When he gets there, he hops off the demon-dog's back, but doesn't recall him while he walks to the big top, keeping an eye out for Beast.]

[That big dog looks an awful lot like her small dog.

Well- the brief look she took before sticking it back in its ball and storing that ball under her pillow.

Seeing it puts her on edge, so she just.

Nods at the approaching... man?]

[Envy nods back once he finds her, and Lucky wags his whippy tail but doesn't leave Envy's side. The dog is wearing sunglasses.]

[At least Envy is wearing pants today and not the tiny skirt-thing of his canon outfit.]

Well, I'm here now. So what's this vetting going to be?

[Pants are always good.

Beast, however, looks decidedly... Terse. A side effect of being nervous around large, unleashed and uncaged animals she hasn't personally trained and can therefore trust she can handle.]

Put yer dog away first, would ye? Don' see me bringin' a tiger t'all my affairs, do ye?

A dog's not quite the same thing as a tiger. But if you insist.

[Of course, this is a demon dog tall enough to ride on, but details details. Envy gives Lucky a pat on the head before he recalls him.]

Better?

[Beast doesn't seem to feel the need to dignify that with a response- of course it was better???

She'd already marching off, moving to a side tent and gesturing him to follow her in.]

Why don' ye 'ave a sit while we talk, then?
