Okay, I definitely want to bring Pumpkin Witch in to lighten the mood and seriously piss of Reaper so she flips out but uh... I might have forgotten why they are at the HQ in the first place...
The ball? Pickles jumping in ranks? I don't remember.
By the way, @spookysquid, depending on what rank Pickles jumps to, I think it would be hilarious if he had a mentor or something to ease him into the ranks and he just is... well, he's just Mrs. Pickles, do I need to explain more? I'd definitely be open to have either of my characters do it if you think it's a good idea. Kinda just have to take your pick between an antisocial aggressive Ukrainian woman and a self-centered egomaniacal flirty trap. XD
I was thinking of having Mrs. Pickles try out training with different characters and then have them all become frustrated by him, annoyed by him, or just have them horrify him. So, ultimately, Mrs. Pickles will become a weird mixture of all the other character's fighting styles.
*Edit: Maybe I have Mrs. P ask Violet Reaper for help now, then we'll move onto a little training scene that Mrs. Pickles will fail miserably at. Hilarity ensues.
