>>53191100...only to be ambushed again!
By a pair of pop singers!!
A pair of Minccino was the first thing everyone saw, greeting them at the gates and singing a very poppy song to the group. The female on the right did most of the singing, though the male on the left had a whole section to himself and provided good backup. Both of them held a microphone each, and introduced themselves as Mr. Biggie and Itty-Bitty- the Big-Time Bros.
At the end of their performance, Mr. Biggie held out a small hat and motioned for tips, while Itty-Bitty just made a cute face. A very Charming face, indeed. Quite Cute.
Clearly their efforts worked some kind of magic, because Sylvia pushed to the front to tip them both immediately. She was nearly told off by Pillow... but when the Munna came over to chastise Sylvia for spending money where it wasn't needed, she hesitated.
A thought came to her head before she could say anything, her mouth just hanging open for a second. This city was supposed to be entertaining, right? So... what was the harm in tipping a pair of singers trying to make that entertainment a reality?
Pillow retreated, and the Minccino got their tips.
In fact, even as the gang continued on to touring the rest of the city, the pair of rodents persisted. Biggie would sometimes crack a joke when nobody was talking, eliciting a snicker or two from one of the boys. Bitty would point out something interesting about the city that'd wow plenty of members of the group.
Sylvia remained impressed throughout, even making efforts to befriend Bitty while the Bros bothered them, until eventually requesting that they join the team.
Surprisingly, when Bitty eagerly obliged, nobody on the team batted an eye. Everyone just laid back, accepted it, and continued having fun.
Tea had a big battle coming up, after all. They needed to save their fighting skills for later.
