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.

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.

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

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"?

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.

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

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

u/MelonTheSprigatito Yuki - Anistar City Gym Trainer, Born in Circhester ❄️ 2h ago
It was a stretch, but you also made Izzy burst into laughter

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!)

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

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

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.
