Anxiety Trials is a Pokemon Special sandbox RP. We are a friendly, no-fuss site where you don't have to worry about posting 24/7, but when you've got the muse. We are based loosely around the Pokemon Special/Adventures manga, though set in a slightly alternate universe. If you're looking for a fun place to explore what life with Pokemon would be like, hopefully we're the place for you!

Jace Wayland was not a very happy camper at the moment. Despite the warm sunny day, the bright faces of parents walking with their kids and the general happiness of Nimbasa's Amusement park, Jace couldn't help but glare ominously at one individual. In front of him laid a sorry excuse for an entertainer, a man decked in yellow attempting to balance precariously on a large blue ball. The clown was doing a fairly poor job, falling off the ball at multiple instances and being ignored by the public.
Arms crossed, Jace walked forward angrily towards the unsuspecting man. Jace's hoodie was zipped up, hiding the various tattoos across his torso but revealing the small colorful ones across each forearm. Cracking his neck swiftly, Jace did a somewhat unthinkable act for a normal person and swiftly kicked the blue ball from underneath him. With the loss of what little steadiness he had, head met pavement as the clown laid on the floor dizzily. Bending downwards, Jace grabbed the hat away from the man's head and removed the bright red nose from him rather quickly.
"Please lay there while I show you how to truly entertain a crowd." he stated in an arrogant tone of voice, eyes shining with mischief. Putting the hat and nose on, forgoing any fashion sense whatsoever, Jace jumped onto the blue ball with a surprising amount of grace. He then threw out three a single pokeball containing his Wynaut. Already knowing the usual routine, Wyatt jumped onto Jace's head as he began 'walking' forward onto the ball, juggling three more pokeballs. Using his new form of transportation, Jace cut through the crowds with Wyatt making various sounds to garner more attention.
It was his old routine, using Wyatt's high pitched voice and odd noises to get people to look at him while he balanced juggling and globe walking. A wild grin on his face, Jace brought ou yet another pokeball, juggling now a total of four as he dangerously weaved through the crowds, walking across the large ball at near uncontrollable speeds. He would soon get the crowd looking at him otherwise he'd have to kick it up yet another notch.

Catarina mentioned cheerfully to the black crow on her shoulder. Crowler simply glowered at her, hiding his head in his wing as she danced around with a stick of fluffy cotton candy. Her yellow sundress was perfect on a day like this. She had decided today was a day to take a day off, and have some fun. Of course the work oriented bird wouldn't understand her logic.
It was then, she spotted a clown. She wasn't too fond of them, yet she didn't hate them. A friend of hers had made her that way, but that was a story in itself. Considering she used to hate clowns, it was a stretch. But... he was quite drab. He was just lacking some amusement factor. She stopped none the less, Crowler looking up to observe the reason for the sudden halt. "Crowly, look, isn't he almost as boring as you?~" Crowler sighed and stuck his head back under his wing, feeling it was better that way anyway. Though, Catarina suddenly froze as she saw someone emerge from the small crowd. He seemed intent on doing something, and that became clear when he kicked the ball right from under the clown balancing on it. "Ahahaha... Oh my did you see that fall?" Those around her seemed concerned for him and turned to glare at her a moment, but she was giggling away, unaware or uncaring of the looks she was getting. Looking at the man who had picked up the clowns items in his place, she suddenly realize who he was. Jace! Someone who had rose through the ranks with her to become the Alpha Knight, while she took the place of the Beta. They joined at the same time, so they had ended up sticking together in an otherwise lonely profession.
As he went around with Wyatt, Catarina giggled at the display, forcing Crowler off her shoulder so he'd be recognized when the Alpha turned around as well. She called out happily, her arms flailing as she shouted to him. "Jacey, over here, great show!~" she sang, the smile not leaving her face. Of course, Catarina could have meant what he was doing or kicking the clown of the ball, or even both. [/style][/td][/tr][/table][style=font-size: 8px]made by KING of PRE & OTE[/style][/center]

He was thoroughly enjoying himself, the crowd sneering at the somewhat violent young man. It didn't matter whether they enjoyed his entertainment or not; it didn't even matter if they had wanted it at all. The only thing that was important to him was that everyone's attention was on the pseudo-clown. It was one of the main reasons he joined up with the Knights of Arceus, seeing it as a way to bring himself a form of notoriety. After all he needed fame to open up his brutal circus.
So when Jace heard his name, or at least a very familiar variation of it being called, he immediately sought out the source. Using a expertise that was honed through years of practice, Jace managed to halt the ball completely and began walking backwards on it. Jace kept his eyes straight ahead, not bothering to look behind him. Continuing to juggle, Jace simply his tongue out at the angry glares he was being shot, narrowly avoiding a child whose mother managed to grab him out of the way. The child cried as he dropped his ice cream, Jace finally arriving at the source of the sound.
Leaping off the ball, Jace got a lop sided smile. Catarina Bellatrice, Knight Beta within the Knights of Arceus and the person he knew the longest. She was probably the closest person thing that normal people would consider best friend material for Jace. Since they joined at the same time and were within the same division, she would always be the first one Jace would turn to to employ some scheme. Placing the respective pokeballs back in their proper holders on his belt, Jace clapped his hands in slightly feigned enthusiasm.
"Cat hellloooooo there-" he said, drawing out his greeting slightly. Jace paused in his greeting to give a slight wave to the black colored pokemon near her. Returning his gaze on the girl before him, Jace slouched slightly as he talked once more."So Cat, tell me are you here to simply watch the show or will you be courteous enough to join me this time?" he asked in a sly tone of voice, winking towards her at the end.

Watching him could always amuse her hands down, in five seconds or less. Especially when he not only nearly ran over a child, but the child then dropped his ice cream. She giggled, and Crowler rolled his round crimson eyes. Really, how she could become amused by things like that was beyond him! She had a bright smile on her face as he jumped off the ball and began to speak to her.
"Hello there Jacey. You're up to your usual mischief I see~" Her cheery tone could confuse almost anyone with a normal sense of humor. However, Cat herself, her sense was a little...off. That may have just increased over the years from hanging around Jace all the time. Crowler thought they were both idiots, but at this point he knew that neither of them cared what he thought about it. He leered at Jace as he posed a question in a tone that the crow disliked.
Catarina however was thrilled. She loved being involved in any silly plans Jace came up, because most of the time, they ended up in a ton of fun for the both of them...sure, one or two times they had gotten in trouble...maybe more, but that was besides the point. Noticing his tone and wink herself, Catarina grinned and ran a finger under his chin, moving it up as if the slight force would cause him to stand straighter, and then in a more flirtatious tone as she moved her finger away, she answered him.
"Jacey, you really shouldn't slouch like that, if people are really enjoying your show, they'll be paying attention to how you carry yourself. But when wouldn't I join you?" Crowler let his eyes roll again as the flirty tone entered and exited her voice. All the time, even to her higher ups, she was always flirting like she was. It was quite dangerous. Not that she cared, anyway.
"But you are the Ring Master. Go ahead and tell me what to do~" She said with a chuckle. At least she could enjoy herself, and maybe this day wouldn't be as boring as she anticipated before.
