[break] walk that run way baby boi!
Eric still wasn't sure how he got into this situation. It all started when he was low on cash and needed some extra Pen in order to buy supplies for his journey. As he walked around Birch City, looking for a decent job that paid well enough - he came across an advertisement - one that was looking for "specific youths, not shy of the spotlight." [break][break]Vague and somewhat suspicious, Eric took the flyer and made his way to the location - a nice, well kempt, building with a somewhat plain and simple sign that said: "Everyday Stylings Fashion Centre" a glorified clothing store. [break][break] Well, at least it wasn't shady! [break][break] And that's how he found himself in a dressing room for over two hours being fitted in some lounge wear of all things with the occasional dabble of makeup being put on him, as well as his hair being done up a bit. [break][break]Apparently, he had a very boyish look to him, in fact the head of this whole thing said he'd make a perfect model - if just physically. It was one of the few times in his life that Eric cursed his genetics. This was pretty embarrassing after all! [break][break] "Now go out there and strut your stuff!" The woman encouraged as the young man was shoved out onto the entrance of the runway a look of abject shock and embarrassment on his face. Oh man, this wasn't going to be fun...
The crowd is quiet, not very impressed by Eric's clothes, form, or stature. A few wishywashy cheers came from a few people but immediately fall quiet again after.

[break] using his 10 charisma!
Though Eric was nervous he wouldn't let it choke him up or put him down. He could do this! He just had to believe in himself! Straightening his back and putting a bit more swagger in his step - he walked down the runway with a lot more confidence than he first appeared to have. [break][break]If he didn't feel like he was good enough, then he would just have to fake it! Even though this was all about the pay - but it didn't mean he couldn't have some fun in the process! [break][break]With a smile plastered on his face he made his way down the run way before giving a turn around - showing off his clothes to the audience. Let's see how they liked that!

As Eric walked down the stage with his head held high, he would not see that a Purrloin had actually crawled up onto stage behind him and laid out happily along it. The crowd, however, noticed, and a few whispers spread from one to the other. "What a cute cat!" "Oh I love that cat???" "What a pretty kitty..." And no one paid attention to Eric in that moment, somehow. The Purrloin just grinned and laid about happily when Eric turned around to show off his clothes and probably see said cat right then.

[break] using that 10 Charisma again! never know when it will be needed! :')
Eric was confused when he heard the whispers of the audience talking about a Purrloin. Looking down he noticed a small cat pokemon preening on the stage. He was honestly confused how it got in here but wasn't even upset. [break][break]He chuckled finding the whole situation funny. He really didn't care about what the audience thought of him, he was only focused on getting paid. [break][break] Still he didn't know what to do as the pokemon walked around and occasionally rolled around - soaking up the spotlight like it was born for it. [break][break]Man, when a cat was better at modeling then a human was! Not sure what to do he bent down and tried to get the pokemon's attention, knowing at this point his show was ruined, but there wasn't much he could do about it, right? [break][break] unwhi_9N
As Eric bends down to get the Purrloin's attention, the cat rather fluidly leans its head up and rubs against his hand. The crowd goes wild with "oooh"s and "ahhhh!"s.

[break] 10 Charisma used.
Really? Was the cat what got him noticed? Well, at least he knew what the audience's priorities were. "Hey, little guy - mind helping me finish this up?" He asked kindly not knowing if the pokemon would act nice or if he'd suddenly get claws. [break][break]Still, he hoped the Purrloin would play nice. Anything to get this over with. "Right, let's get this over with." With a smile he got up and moved hoping that the Purrloin would follow him. Even if the audience eyes were on the cat and not him - at least they'd be looking at something.[break][break]ruSktDoq
The Purrloin tilts its head up Eric as he speaks. Helping? “Mrrr….” As the human got up again, the cat immediately claw-climbed up his leg and side/back all the way up to his shoulder. The audience went wild! But his clothes were very much torn, and those nails may have sunk into his skin some.

[break] 10 Charisma
Eric winces at the damaged clothing (and his damaged skin) but otherwise soldiered on. Making his way back to the entrance of the walkway with the Purrloin clinging to his shoulder - no doubt proud of it self. As the show ended he definitely knew he was done with modeling for a lifetime. Anyone who said he'd make a good model, he would simply reply with "Yeah, maybe in another life."
