Diona ran down the stairs, Barbara followed behind.
"Diona, please stop!" She begged for the girl. She turned around to, able to see Barbara's face. She stuck her tongue out, and smirked at the idol.
"Wh-What?! Wait!" She cried out, before getting smacked in the face by a incoming pole. The idol fell down, her head aching severely.
Diona laughed to herself, before running off.
She looked back. No Barbara in sight at all. She was safe now. 'Heheheh! Now then, off to business.' She thought to herself. She walked ahead, before pumping into someone.
"Ugh! Is this it a habit for this to keep happening to me or what?!" She cried out, now on the ground.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" The stranger asked Diona.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Say quick question, does this place have a bar?" She asked, standing up to her feet.
The stranger, a girl, expressions changed quickly. "Why is a little girl interested in bars?" She asked, hands on her hips.
"Well uh, I'm on a mission. A mission to end the wine industry, and I'll start here." Diona admitted to the stranger.
The stranger just blinked at her.
'I probably shouldn't have said that.' She said to herself.
"Diona!"
Diona's ears twitched as she heard her voice. She ran off, before saying something to the stranger.
"DON'T TELL HER I WAS HERE!" She yelled out, running off.
Lillie stood there, taking everything in at once. "Wait-" She said, her legs starting to move.
"Excuse me!"
A girl, dressed up in church clothes, ran up to Lillie.
"I'm sorry for interrupting you, but have you seen a little girl with pink hair?" She asked Lillie, panting heavily.
"Ahah, sorry but no..." She said, shaking her head.
"Oh I see, well thank you!" And then the girl ran off, running back to the stairs.
'What was that about?' She wondered to herself, clearly confused. Diona peeked out of the corner, and came out.
"Thanks so much, she wouldn't stop chasing me around." She said, walking up to Lillie.
"Say uh, what's your name? I'm Diona, an bartender." She introduced herself.
"I'm Lillie, also what's this all about? And you're a child." Lillie said, pouting her face a bit.
"Hey, I'll explain. But do you have a room?" She asked, having a nervous smile. Lillie just nodded her head.
"Great! I'll explain once I'm there!"
"So Tartaglia, you eat breakfast already?" Hilbert asked, putting on his hat.
He just nodded his head. "Yes, I already ate." He said.
"That's great man. Today was so busy for me, thankfully they let me off earlier than usual. We must be heading to Unova now." He continued saying.
Tartaglia was silent, letting Hilbert go on and on.
"I've seen so many things back at my home! If you want to, I could bring you along with me. I think you'd like it, and I could introduce you to my sister too." He said.
"Hilbert."
Hilbert stopped, closing his mouth. "Yes?" He tilted his head.
"If you heard anything while it was night, would you investigate it?" Tartaglia asked
Hilbert's eyes looked around, clearly confused. "Yes? What for?" He asked.
"Hmph, don't worry. I was just wondering." He said, giving off a small laugh.
Hilbert got a shiver in his spine. He knew something was off, but he couldn't place it. 'Is something going to happen tonight?' He wondered to himself. He looked back at him, sweating a bit now. 'I should keep a close eye on anything suspicious today...' He thought to himself.
