[Freya Callum]

Freya had been staying in town for a while now. While she was there, she had bought an egg from a breeder. She couldn't quite remember her name, but as of now, she had an eevee egg with her. Eevee had always been one of her favorite non grass type pokemon, just because they looked so adorable. She had wanted her Eevee to be able to love music, because that's what she knew. She knew that if trainers were able to get their eggs exposed to music, they would be to. That was why she tried to find a street performer.

However, as she looked around, she saw that there wasn't any at all. The town was small, so the amount of musicians that were there were scarce. A place like Birch City had many, which is what made it hard to make a living there as one. So, she decided that this would be the perfect time for her to practice her skills as a musician. After all, she knew that she would need it for contests. She already had ideas running through her head on what she could do during the performace round with her violin. So, as she took out her violin case, she opened it up and held the violin and bow in her left hand, while placing the Eevee egg into the case with her right.

As she held the Violin in it's correct position, she began to play a very soothing classical song that she had learned when she was a child.

Your music is wonderful! Plenty of people walk by and deposit bills into whatever tip jar you have. 

[Freya Callum]

Freya played the music beautifully. It was a relatively simple song, but the emotion she put into it was insane. With every stroke came a beautiful resonance that filled the area. People had started getting into it, and even smiled as they walked buy. It was as though they had relaxed their whole body as they came near. As more and more people passed by Freya, her violin case filled with money. It wasn’t really close to full, but it was pretty filled up.

So, as she stopped playing for a few seconds, she looked over to her eevee egg and said to it, “So, how do you like the music. I was hoping that it’d be pleasant to listen to.” All of a sudden, it shook, as though it was trying to respond to her. Though, she couldn’t really understand what it was trying to portray. So, she just went back to playing her violin. As she raised it up, she tried to play a bit more of a difficult song. It was faster paced and even required some plucking. Even though it was hard, the payout would be great.

A random event has occurred!

What will you do?

Freya Callum

One of the strings on the violin snaps! You pressed too hard, it seems. Hopefully you can fix it or do something else! 

[Freya Callum]

As Freya was working through her song, she had played it well for at least a minute or so, before she pressed down on one her strings to her. The tension of the bow on the string seemed to have made it snap in a way that didn't let her play. However, she knew that she should expect this problem. So, she took out a replacement string and did the fixing of it herself. Being a botanist helped her with dealing with finite details, because of how observant you needed to be with the healthcare of the plants. If something needed to be trimmed, you had to spot it right away.
This allowed her to fix her violin easily.

It wasn't long before she was up and running, and trying her best to finish the song that she just stopped herself on. Although, it was hard for her to do it, she wanted to be able to challenge herself, not only to improve, but also for eevee. The eevee needed to learn that the struggle is the best part of improving, because it's what gets you to improved. Not only that, but she wanted it to be expose to all the different types of musics there are. So, there was a lot she wanted to do with this song, meaning that she was going to finish it off until the end.

A random event has occurred!

What will you do?

Freya Callum

It seems the little mishap has deterred some of your would-be fans. Those that had been standing around listening to the music had walked away since you'd had to stop and fix it. Still, the show must go on, right? 

[Freya Callum]

With more people leaving the area she was occupying, she felt a bit sad. Although she understood their reasons for leaving, it did down her confidence a tiny bit. Though, she regained her composure, realizing that the whole point of this was for her eevee to become musically inclined. Even if it wasn’t born yet, she still needed to care for it. To her, this egg was like a plant, and it needed to be nourished, and she was going to do that, so that it could bloom into something beautiful. So, as she raised up her violin, she took in a deep breath, and said to the eevee egg, “This goes out to you. I hope that one day you’ll love the song as much as I die.” She then played the very first song her mother had ever shown her. 

Her parents never really been there for her as a kid, but the one thing her mother would do when she came back from one of her trips, was play one of the most beautiful songs that Freya had ever heard. Freya use to just watch her mother as she put emotion into every single stroke. It was mesmerizing to Freya, and it’s what made her want to learn violin. She wanted to be able to cast away all the pain she felt, and put it into music. This song was one of the hardest Freya had ever worked on, but it was worth it. Every time she would play it, she would remember her parents. Even though the world wasn’t fair at times, it could be beautiful. Her parents’ love was beautiful, and even though they couldn’t stay with Freya for long periods of time, their love for her was beautiful as well. So, she would try her best to portray in the song she was about to play.

As the music plays again, a few new people come to stop and listen. Some even put some money in your tip jar and stand around. A soft looking elderly couple stop to listen and appear to be very impressed and happily talking to one another about you. Cute.

[Freya Callum]

After seeing people start to regather around her performance, Freya smiled at the sight, looking over towards Eevee. Even if the pokemon couldn't really see what was happening right now, she hoped that it could at least hear all the positive things that were being said around it. With this thought in mind, she even looked towards the elderly couple that had came by, and smiled at them. For now, that was all she could do. Though, she hoped that they'd stay for a while, because she wanted to thank them for being so kind. Especially in the presence of her Eevee egg.

So, as she had neared the end of the song she was playing, she thought up another song to play. This song was a bit faster paced than all the other one's combined. This was one of her most tricky ones, but the fact that she could play however she wanted here without feeling stressed allowed her to diversify what she played. She was never going to see most of these people again, because Cedar wasn't her home town. Neither was Birch, where her house lived. She never became close to anyone besides her parents and nanny. To know that none of the people in the audience were them helped relax her. So, she raised up her bow to play the song.

Your performance stat saved you! 

Freya Callum

Everyone continues to listen, and while a few head off on their way as a new song played, several more came to stand and listen for a while. It seems you have a good audience wave at least. 

[Freya Callum]

As Freya continued to play the song, she saw as the Eevee shook in it’s egg. This made Freya smile, knowing that she was doing something good with her music. So, as she looked around towards audience, she smiled, doing her best to keep them and her eevee pleased. Of course, this wouldn’t last forever. She was prepared for that, and she probably would finish up her performance sometime soon. Though, she still had a sizable audience. So, she would wait until a majority of them left before she decided to close up everything. She then continued on with her next song

An event has happened! 

How will you respond? 

Freya Callum

"Everyone! Oh my gosh everyone! You have to come see this!" A pesky young man with vibrant red hair and yellow eyes was running into the crowd. "A Psychic performance is going on just down the street! It's a once in a life time opportunity!" And then he was off again. The crowd hesitates before slowly shuffling that way to go see what all this intrigue was about. They could hear music all the time elsewhere. 

[Freya Callum]

As a person ran into the crowd of people in front of Freya, she looked at them in confusion. She wondered why someone would do something as rude as that. A few moments later of questioning by the people surrounding him, they were answered with his reasoning for doing so. People seemed to be conflicted by the choice given to them. It wasn't really a hit towards Freya's skills so to say, more to the fact that she had felt like this was going to go on a lot longer than it was. 

Although she wasn't going to fight with them for leaving, she was going to at least give them a reason to stay. So, as she stopped playing her Violin, she said to them, "Hey guys, you can leave if you like, but I really hope that you stay. I was going to play a fast song, and have everyone dance to it. My pokemon love to dance and play around, and I don't doubt that your's don't too. If too many of you leave, it won't be as fun. I'm only in town for a few more days before I continue my journey as a pokemon coordinator, so you might only ever be able to experience something like this once." With that being said, she waited for them to decide amongst themselves on whether they would leave or not.

A few did end up going to go see what this new show was about. However, a good majority stuck around, enraptured by the good will you'd already displayed. Your charisma certainly helped here.

[Freya Callum]

After speaking up to the audience before her, some of them had actually decided to stay. Although some left, the people truly did seem intrigued in what Freya was saying. She wasn’t sure if this was a normal thing, to have a sort of dance around a performer. This was the first time she had ever done something like this, so coming up with unique ideas was hard for her, since she didn’t know what was normal in the first place. Either way, she was going to do this

So, she sent out her Bounsweet and Clamperl, and said aloud to this audience. “Hey guys, get out your Pokémon and you’re dancing spirit, because I’m going to play a really fun song you can dance to. Whether you’re bad or amazing at it, just have as much fun as you can.” Her Pokémon then looked up at her smiling, pumped up to actually be dancing in public. It was a thing their group had done for fun, but now they were actually going to do it in front of real life people. Smiling back down at them, she raised up her violin, and played their favorite song that they danced to together. It had country vibes to them, which made it a really fun song to dance and listen to.

People liked dancing to your music! But two boys started to harass a girl about her dancing skill to the point she runs away crying. Oh dear. Bad crowd. 

[Freya Callum]

After Freya had started playing the music, people had begun to dance around her in a semicircle. Each group seemed to be having fun, while the people who didn't feel like dancing cheered from the sidelines. Over all, it was a really fun experience. However, as Freya looked over the crowd, she saw 2 boys, harassing a little girl. Freya stopped the music as the girl ran away, saying aloud to the audience, "Hey guys, everyone here is an amazing person. I myself can get really anxious sometimes, and for someone to make fun of me would make me really hurt, so please don't make fun of anyone. It can hurt people. Alright?" With that, she watched as the boys in the crowd nodded their heads in agreeance. They seemed to be saddened by the fact that they had done something wrong, but Freya knew that she had to do something about the situation. So, she just let the situation be.

As the girl peeked her head back into the crowd, Freya smiled and waved her towards Freya. With tears in her eyes, the girl ran over to Freya. Freya then hugged the girl, and said to her, "Hey, don't worry about it. You are an amazing dancer, and I hope that you continue to do what you love. It doesn't have to be dancing, but whatever else. Just know that you should never let people tear you down." With that, she smiled at the girl and let her go back into the center of the semicircle. Freya then continued to play a different song, just to leave behind all the negative energy that was present from before.

Everyone is just having a lot of fun! Some are willing to tip you again for the good time!

[Freya Callum]

Freya had put a smile on her face as she watched the people around her enjoying their time. She was really happy with the community she had formed between all the people. Even the girl from before was having tons of fun. Having pokemon and people colliding together. That was the beauty of the world she was trying to create. One of harmony between all living things. She hoped that by the end of this all, the people in the town would be a lot closer. With contests, she wanted to do exactly this. Everyone who was going to watch her perform would see the beauty in the world like she does. That was her hope.

So, as the song came to an end, she said aloud to the people before her. "Well guys, I think we can go for a few more songs. This next one though, I think I'm going to slow down. I know all of you are having tons of fun, and I promise I will pick it up after, but I wanted to show y'all a very beautiful song that I picked up when I was learning the violin. It's a song about growth from being a child to an adult." This song was one that she cherished very deeply, because it held her core values at heart. It starts off very whimsical, making the audience feel a sense of nostalgia, but then the song gets a bit more dramatic, having longer notes with more vibrations. Then, the song resolves itself, but it doesn't ever go back to the whimsy that it once had. Life is a bumpy road, and you will never know how it will turn out, but in the end you will be a different person than who you were when you started. With those thoughts in mind, she played the song.

The crowd settles in to listen to her song. No one was dancing now but rather everyone was listening. Quite a few closed their eyes to listen better while some tapped along with their feet. It was a calmer quieter crowd now but an appreciating crowd all the same.
