I Solemnly Swear That I'm Up to No Good [Amethyst]

[Vivienne Montmarche]

That jerk! How dare he!

Vivienne Montmarche was fuming in the Ladies' Room of one of the small Cafes in Mavro City. In lieu of her usual school uniform, she'd opted to wear a simple baby-doll style dress, white in color and accented with red bows. Her legs were covered by a pair of white stockings with a slight pattern stitched into them, flowery in a vague-way. Her shoes were polished red Mary-Janes with a chunk heel, and were fairly comfortable despite being fashionable. She looked, in Vivienne's humble opinion, adorable. That was, of course, until some ass-hat who worked here decided to spill coffee on her. COFFEE, of all things! The outrage! She sat there, fuming as she tried to lessen the stain with some paper towels and a small bleach pen she kept in her purse. Tears of frustration were leaking down the side of her face. Admittedly, the stain itself wasn't too big, the coffee drink had been a cold latte in lieu of burning her, and the bleach pen was doing it's job fairly well (especially considering Vivienne had only been hit with splash damage when a worker dropped a cup at a nearby table). The handful of brown marks on the white dress and stockings had faded to a light tan, and with a little T.L.C. Vivienne knew she could get them spotless that night.

It didn't give her the satisfaction she wanted now.

Reaching into the little red purse she'd brought along, the girl pulled out a Pokeball, releasing her Swirlix. Seeing his trainer with her eyes puffy and tears running down her face, the Cotton Candy Pokemon immediately looked concerned.

"a la Mode. We've got a mission. We're going to get even." She whispered. The bathroom had three stalls, and with a little practice and proper timing she could pull it off without anyone being any wiser. The toilet in the one she was in was already half full with the paper towels she'd been using. She stared at her Pokemon. "Use your Cotton Spore in the bowl, but do it lightly, okay?"

The Cotton Candy Pokemon, recognizing the mischief a foot, cackled gently before releasing a cloud of fluff directly at the bowl. The light pink, nearly white fibers didn't dissolve in the water, but as Vivienne flushed the toilet they wrapped themselves into the paper towels and clogged it, beautifully.

"One down, two to go." She whispered to him, the look in her eye far from the usual retiring one she gave people.

Amy was definitely one who complains about most things, but today? Not so much. She would chuckle every now and again to herself. This whole academy thing was supposed to be a kind of punishment. She sipped her caramel cappuccino with a shot of espresso and skim milk. She was idly scanning the area of the cafe she was in. "How..." she pondered, "Could this POSSIBLY be a punishment?" She smirked and took another sip of her drink. Amy was wearing a soft, pink turtle neck sweater that was long enough to go to her mid thigh. She was wearing shorts of course, but you couldn't see them unless the girl decided to hike up her sweater for all to see. Of course, she was wearing one of her iconic skull beanies and some pink sneakers. Amy always wanted to be cute and fashionable, but above all else she wanted to be comfy. She sighed with boredom. Even in the face of a good day, Amy can always find something to nag about.

Amy's eyes widened a tad when she heard a banging and clattering kind of noise to he left. She raised her head to see a girl with pink hair that had just been assaulted with some kind of coffee beverage. The waiter seemed to apologize profusely, but the younger girl wouldn't have any of it. Amy's eyes followed the girl into the bathroom, which Amy happened to be sitting close to. Seeing the pink haired girl reminded Amy a tad bit about herself. Somewhere, deep, deep down in Amethyst's heart she felt...pity? No of course not, must be the barometric pressure or something. "Damn, and she looked really adorable in that outfit too..." The girl's ears started to pick up on some strange movement in the restroom close to her. No one except for the girl had recently entered. Amy immediately found intrigue in what was going on. She chugged the last of her beverage, and headed toward the restroom.

Amy slowly opened the door and peered into the room. She noticed the girl with a Swirlix. Her Pokemon was apparently clogging the toilets. Amy donned a cat-like grin. "Oh this'll be fun." She whispered to herself. The older girl walked into the restroom, crossed her arms, and looked down towards the shorter girl. She grinned with interest. "Yo Princess. Whatcha up to here?" Amy gestured towards the stall the younger girl already clogged. She chuckled and continued, "Cause whatever it is? I'm in." There was a gleam in Amy's eye. "How...could this POSSIBLY be a punishment?" Amy pondered once more.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

Just as she was moving to the next stall with her Swirlix, the only other girl she'd spotted in the cafe came in. The stall she'd just personally wrecked was still open, and a hint of panic shot through her as the slightly taller girl asked what she was up to, slightly gruff.

"I...uh.....I was jus-" Vivienne began, trying to explain why one of the toilets just so happened to be extra clogged with paper and cotton. She'd been caught red handed by some do-gooder on the very first prank she'd pulled since coming here? So much for building up positive karma. The blush staining her cheeks was genuine, and though her tears of frustration were gone, the girl began pooling crocodile tears in her eyes. Maybe begging off for a bit of petty vengeance would let the taller girl (wearing a rather fashionable sweater to boot! And that beanie was adorable, in a goth sort of way...) show her some mercy?

Of course, these thoughts were entirely derailed when the girl said she was in and a dark gleam and small smirk decorated her face. Vivienne recognized the look, the same she'd spied in her own mirror after a particularly devious trick had been accomplished. She paused for oh, two seconds maybe? Then she returned Amethyst's dark glance with one of her own, and a cheshire grin grew on her face. "I just found out they have such a terrible problem with plumbing in this place.....what a shame." Her voice was as soft as always, but there was a malevolence to it that no one at the Academy had warrant to hear.

"We've probably got a few minutes before they try finding a female employee to come check in on me." Vivienne mused, "Got anything up your sleeve we can leave them before cutting outta here?" The halting way she spoke was forgotten; when two tricksters met, they could either go the route of rivalry, or partner up. Since she'd offered, it was obvious where the two were headed....for the time being, at least. As she spoke, Vivienne and a la Mode set to work on the second toilet, clogging it as well.

[Amethyst Sinclaire]

It was cute to think that the girl was actually going to try and cover up her deed initially, but Amy was a little too smart for that. She was really starting to see more of herself in this other girl. Amy sneered, "What a shame...I do so hope we can help fix this dilemma." Finally, Amy could get back into the game, and with another pink-haired cohort no less. Amy listened to the girl's status report. It could almost bring a tear to her eye. She was so professional about it all. "I got a Spritzee. She can make things smell really good or...not so good. Finish up the toilets and I'll make this place smell like proper shit." Amy picked out a pokeball and tossed it up a bit to release her Spritzee, Helena. The small bird-like fairy whirled around Amy. "Helena, use your fragrance powers to make this room smell awful." Helena looked puzzled at first, but after absorbing the situation she got the memo. The Spritzee flew all around the restroom emitting a dark green haze from its wings. The fresh scent of the restroom quickly dissipated into an awful stench. Amy pinched her nose to block the smell as she talked with a nazily voice. "Hope you're almost finished. Helena did a really good job in here." The Spritzee giggled in reply to the statement. It seemed the Pokemon was unfazed by its own ability. The last thing Amy wanted or needed was to get caught, and she was hoping she could do more devious behavior. She knew how well she did pranks, but who knows? Maybe the other girl was a bit of a green horn?

[Vivienne Montmarche]

Vivienne nodded to the other pink haired girl when she mentioned the power of her Spritzee. Another fairy was always good in the Kalosian's book, and she and her Swirlix set to wrecking the third toilet just as the stench grew eyewatering. She returned a la Mode to his Pokeball with a quick click and walked over to the other girl. "Introductions later, but first," Vivienne nearly gagged, and getting tears working back into her eyes was easy, "we need to get out of here. A few crocodile tears should get them to leave us alone. You play a concerned girl getting me to the bus, and they won't give us more than two looks. I hope you're a decent actor." Vivienne offered her accomplice another grin before draping the taller girl's arm over her shoulder.

Any doubts about the Kalosian girl's experience were probably going to fade soon. She knew how to play a crowd with the way she looked. By Arceus, she loved it too.

[Amethyst Sinclaire]

Amy retrieved her Spritzee and coughed a bit from her Pokemon's work. Before she knew it, the other girl was by her side with Amy's arm over her. Amy listened to the girl's plan. "How long has this girl been pulling pranks?" she thought to herself. The taller girl let out a short guffaw at the last statement. "Ha! Give me a little more credit there, Princess. If I was any other person, you'd be screwed, but now I'm here to be the icing on the shit cake we're giving these chumps! Get your game face on, Girly." Amy pushed open the door to the restroom gagging and coughing. Most likely the little princess should be putting on the waterworks, so Amy started to ad lib concerned statements to the girl whilst patting her back reassuringly. Amy assumed the staff were going to come running when they see and smell what was happening. The taller girl was confident that with he two of them combined, that this job would go by smoothly.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

Vivienne was good at putting on the waterworks, and the other girl was just as fair at warding off the employees and any curious bystanders. Vivienne muttered a few times about going home to Goldenrod City and thinking it was one of the worst vacations ever, to throw off the fact she was a student at the school, and sooner rather than later the girls had managed to make their way out of the cafe and into the street. Vivienne's still wore the look of mortification, but she began to speak.

"I figure we get out of eyeshot, make a break for it." Vivienne whispered to her accomplice. "Shame we can't stay to watch the results though." A sigh broke through her lips when she said it.

[Amethyst Sinclaire]

It went perfectly. None of the idiot employees were none the wiser. It was interesting to see the younger girl be able to cry almost on command. Amy figured that the little princess had been doing this sort of thing for quite sometime. After warding off the people, the two successfully got out of the cafe, with the shorter girl telling Amy the game plan. Amy nodded and they both made their way up the street until the cafe was out of sight. Once the coast was clear, Amy sighed with satisfaction. "Haven't done that in awhile. Arceus it feels good to do it again though. Hey Princess, what's your name. I'm Amethyst, but call me Amy." She extended a hand for a good job handshake to the other girl. Amy's blood was still pumping a little from the excitement and the coffee. "We HAVE to do this again sometime!" They may have just met, but it seemed as though this may all blossom into a beautiful friendship. At least Amy thought so.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

It went off without a hitch, and when her partner in crime finally introduced herself, the other girl giggled wildly for a minute. "I know what you mean! I haven't gotten to scratch that itch since I got shipped off here!" She bobbed into a slight curtsy in her dress, "And I'm Vivienne, but you can call me Vivi. Or Princess. Either works." She straightened her posture then when Amethyst expressed a desire to do something like this again. "For sure we've gotta do something like this again!"

The Kalosian twisted slightly, her eyes practically glowing with possibilities. "So, uh, how'd you get into doing this sort of thing exactly?"

[Amethyst Sinclaire]

"Eh...Princess has a better ring to it." Amy chuckled. It was a great to have someone share her interests on the island. Her head was swirling with possibilities on what other kinds of shenanigans the two could get into. Amy's face sank a little when she was asked about her reasoning for her behavior. "I don't want to get too detailed with it. Let's just say...I didn't get to decide what to do with my life..." Amy's tone took a more serious route then intended, so as to not seem like some pity case, she changed the subject. "So...what's there to even do at that dumb Academy?" The girl was hoping her new friend wouldn't dwell on her previous remark about her past. Amy twiddled with her fingers feeling a bit awkward. It was difficult to try an express her feelings. It was just something that Amy didn't do.

[Vivienne Montmarche]

When Amy shrugged off the question, Vivienne respected it; she wouldn't share the exact details of how she wound up there herself, now would she? A conversation better left to another time, for sure. She blinked slightly at the question the other girl posed.

"Well, besides for classes, there're a few clubs around campus." Vivienne offered, "I'm in the Contest Club, for one, and we've actually got a meeting tomorrow." She glanced down at her dress, "I was celebrating finishing off one of the costumes with a trip to town. Guess that didn't go over so well."

She looked back to the other girl with a small, wicked grin, "Until I met you, of course."
