"I'm travelin', duuuuuuuuuuuhhhh.~ It'd do me noooooo good if I just stood around being a moper-noper. Nope, not one bit! Not one bit!"
"Moper...noper?"
"It's a real word, look'it up! Aaaaanywaaay, I was lookin' at 't mini apple pies they have here, mum-mum says I wasn't 'sposed to go far, but I don't think she'll mind!"
"Zoru, zor!"
That strikes Chople as odd, "Eh...? You're just looking at them? Aren't you supposed to do that for five seconds then buy the one you want?"
Alice huffs, she places her little loli hands on her hips and leans forward , "I would if I had munny! 'Scuse you but my poppy likes eatin' up all our savings just to pay the dumb coppers off for damages! I even 'member exactly how he said it too,"
Alice pauses to part her hair, she then makes a dumb imitation of what can only be presumed to be the face of a boy, "'Hurrrrrrrrrgh durrrrrrrrrrr, I gotta find out who killed dad and I can only do that by payin' off my citaties!'"
Her imitation fizzles out as quick as it appears, "So you can see why munny's so tight! Poppy likes to think that he doesn't spend'it on expense nothings, but he does, and he's the kinda choo-choo-trainer that does everything he can to 'void looking at other trainers' eyes! Everytime mum-mum and I call him out on it, he just says he's doin' it for the shorties...What does that even mean!?"
