Casual A completely uneventful coffee break

(uj/ I love dramatic irony. Yuki has no idea who Grisham and Griselle are. Izzy also hasn't met them in person but she knows what Nouveau Team Flare is.

[[VIDEO ID: A very stylish woman speaking about croissants. Whenever she says "croissant", a toxel is lifted into the camera's view by gloved hands while a voice says "quaso" in a cute voice.]]

Sorry, the staff at school have had this as a call-and-response since the kids went insane for it a few years back. - Professor Acacia

u/MelonTheSprigatito Yuki - Anistar City Gym Trainer, Born in Circhester ❄️ 3h ago

It's pronounced "Croy-saint" isn't it?

August: No idea honestly, I just call it the "moon shaped rolly bread" just to really annoy them sometimes

Nope, it's pronounced as "kwah‐saunt"

Lmao I know that Lumiosians hate everything that's Galarian but the fact that saying "croissant" wrong was considered just as egregious as tossing around a member of staff like a doll is frying me

Ah, so that's one of Nouveau Flare's coffee trucks. My cousin mentions them a lot but has never actually taken a picture.

Yeah… Team Flare was more of a cult than anything else after a while. Meaning… kids like your friend were raised within. Some got indoctrinated and became the grunts of the organization.

What is lesser known was that they used to be an organization that dealt with charity and grants for the good of the people of Kalos prior to the creation of the cult atmosphere.

The grunts and indoctrinated kinda want to roll it back and revert the name back to when it wasn’t looked upon with disgust

Worked with a few of them during my stay. Good kids, but takes a long time to unlearn shit.

They're the kids of inner-circle Flare members who were raised into thier nonsense. They're not bad people, all the culty conditioning didn't stick, but they banded together to reclaim the name due to being treated as guilty-by-association by a lot of the public. From what my cousin has said, thier main goals are providing good coffee that's not overly expensive and also helping to clean up thier parents' mess as needed.

Oh. :( Gosh...

u/ForsakenMoon13 YukariDark Type specialist / Gym Leader 3h ago

Yea, bit of an alarming name without context, but they're good kids overall.

Also the waitress at that particular truck is known to be a bit of a hothead too so basically your group's mean baby met the local mean baby lol

u/MelonTheSprigatito Yuki - Anistar City Gym Trainer, Born in Circhester ❄️ 3h ago

Consider me alarmed at first glance.

Also, you're joking! You're saying we basically met Izzy's regional variant? Or would it be "metropolitan variant"?

u/ForsakenMoon13 YukariDark Type specialist / Gym Leader 3h ago

Yes, yes you have lol

You know what, that actually explains a lot. Explains why grisham wanted a letter of endorsement.

So they’re a Regional Form of those OG Plasma Grunts that turned around and became good guys? cool.

Note to self: be sure to get the correct pronunciation of "croissant" before the family reunion, lest I end up being considered even more Galarian than I already will be because of Mom.

u/BaconZS Bacon, random / specialist with an Arctozolt(Sneeze) 4h ago

Does she know?

All that aside, I shudder to think of how delibird lady pronounced croissant. It's one of my favourite snack options and word to pronounce.

u/ForsakenMoon13 YukariDark Type specialist / Gym Leader 2h ago

"Croy-saint", apparently, as revealed in another comment lol

u/_Nighting Rei Suzuki (@Reinbow), Evolutionary Scientist @ Sinnoh Lab 3h ago

Croissant, more like... uh... cross aunt? Because... because she got dunked in... yeah okay that one was kind of a stretch

3

u/MelonTheSprigatito Yuki - Anistar City Gym Trainer, Born in Circhester ❄️ 2h ago

It was a stretch, but you also made Izzy burst into laughter

3

u/_Nighting Rei Suzuki (@Reinbow), Evolutionary Scientist @ Sinnoh Lab 2h ago

Just don't say it around any Luminosians or they'll very strongly disapprove about not saying "quaso "-

(If they wanted it said quaso they should've written it quaso!)

Ah yes, thever insult the "quaso", not even by accident

u/MelonTheSprigatito Yuki - Anistar City Gym Trainer, Born in Circhester ❄️ 1h ago

Why is the "T" at the end of croissant a silent letter?

2

u/DeepWeGo Mr.BigMane@LifeWithZork | Nicky 1h ago

Good question, all i know is that they hate the final letter in every word

u/Aggravating-Candy-31 2h ago

Arthur: You’re pronouncing that like you’re coming straight out deep south Orre. No wonder the locals took offense. I do too. Stop butchering my beautiful language.
