Hey Walter!

Oh you're in for a real treat, I've been to these big parties before. They're crazy! Great food, cool places, all kinds of neat stuff! And I got to get a new suit anyway. We can go hit the department store!

In Goldenrod?

We should go in the evening. It'll be less busy then.

[ And that's when Henry's working and therefore can't get pissy at him about even being in the city. ]

Yeah they got the best selection.

Sure. After dinner?

Yes, that sounds good. I will see you there.

Later, Walter would be waiting outside the Goldenrod Department Store, hands in his pockets. He had to leave his blue raincoat behind - he still hadn't been able to get the bloodstains out of it - and he felt bare without it. assumption stood at his side, clearly acting as a bodyguard and constantly looking around for any signs of Bad Humans. Walter had tried to leave him at home or at least in his pokeball but Assumption flat out refused. If Henry so much as approached Walter, he wanted to be there.

Thankfully, it seemed Henry hadn't changed his shifts and there wouldn't be any drama today. Unless there was a disaster when Jimmy came.

Jimmy ambles up, no Pokemon with him currently. He doesn't like bringing Omi when he's trying on clothes, he's pretty sure his starter judges him.

"Hey, Walter!" He waves when he sees the other guy, grinning easily and jogging up to join him. It's pretty exciting, knowing Walter's never been to a prom before, or picked out formal clothes. He gets to help him out, and he's gonna do everything he can to make sure Walter looks aces for prom.

"How's it going, man?"

"Hey Jimmy. Things have been...a little strange, but mostly good. How have you been?"

Between trying to get used to his Pokemon's behaviour and processing everything he's learned recently, he didn't know how to accurately describe his mood. And with prom he was actually quite nervous. Not just because Team Rocket was running the event and that meant his presence was non-negotiable, but because he just had never been to a prom before. He didn't know how he was meant to behave or act, with Team Rocket's only instructions being to 'act casual'.

Assumption waved to Jimmy, smiling.

"Hey, you know me! Same old same old. Trying to keep up with all my Pokemon, keeping up with the house, battling...." Jimmy shrugged amiably. Life had been nice and normal, just the way he likes it. Well, normal for here, anyway.

"Good's good, though!" And what he honestly believed everybody could have, here. Good stuff. Even if it was strange a lot of the time...

Walter nodded. "It's better than normal and not good. I don't know what to expect from a prom...have you been to one before?"

He lead the way inside, heading towards the formal clothing area...and then stopping, looking around uncertainly. He'd never owned a suit before. He just hadn't needed one.

"It's just a huge party, pretty much. It's not like an actual prom, other than everybody dressing up." Jimmy shrugged. "I'd never been to one before, either. But it ain't like you gotta know etiquette or any shit like that."

Thank god. Jimmy couldn't tell the difference between forks or folded napkins if his life depended on it.

"So you want something traditional?"

"I haven't been to a party before either." He simply didn't know anything about this. The closest he could possibly relate it to was a few rare times he had attempted to go to a club, which had ended very sourly and often with Valtiel reminding him of how the world was.

"Traditional. A suit and tie? But, I don't know how to do a tie." He admitted sheepishly. "There's lots of different suits around here." Tuxedos, 'white tie', 'black tie', business...

"You're not gonna be able to say that for much longer!" Jimmy clapped the other man on the shoulder affectionately, grinning.

"Hey, no problem! I do, I'll tie it for ya! And yeah, there are. See anything you like? I bet you'd look nice in black or grey."

And those were entirely traditional suit colors.

Walter nodded and looked over the suits - he noticed that the shirts under were mostly white, except for a section that had more vibrant colours; and his eyes immediately fell on a beautiful, deep shade of red.

"Is this okay...?" He asked reaching out and gently taking the sleeve of the assemble that had caught his eye. "I like red. It's a warm colour." And Holy. But he knew Jimmy didn't care much for his religious beliefs and he didn't want to be questioned about it while out shopping.
