    (Fast forwarding to the evening, when you get your invite from Brock--it's considered rude to enter the Closet of someone you don't know well--and even teachers have to do this.)

    After classes had ended for the day, Alyssa found an envelope in the mail slot, sealed with a Boulder Badge sticker. This was how Brock tended to seal his personal letters.

    Alyssa spotted the note and picked it up to see what was inside. She opened it up and grabbed her glasses before reading it quietly enough, just in case someone was listening.

    "An invitation from Brock? What's so important that he had to send an invite instead of telling me in person? Guess we'll find out soon enough...let's roll out again."

    (Another cameo from you-know-who!)

    Alyssa's worries 'in case someone was listening' probably came too quickly as Martine snuck into the mail room to check whatever mail she had gotten. She was expecting an amp to be shipped here from Larousse, but it seemed like it hadn't arrived. Nevertheless, before she left, she couldn't help but notice a familiar face reading a letter to herself.

    "Salut, mon amie!" Martine greeted Alyssa. "Nice to see you here! What have you got there, eh?"

    Alyssa was so buried in the letter, she didn't even realize Martine was in the room till she looked up. Naturally, she greeted her and told her what was up.

    "I received this note not too long ago & it's from one of the teachers here. The intention of the letter is extremely unclear; at least to me, cause I dunno why anyone would send an invite, especially to me, instead of just telling me in person. I was just about to head over to the location indicated on the note, but I'm a slight bit unsure."

    Martine smiled the whole time Alyssa was telling her this, and then replied, "I bet it should mean something personal is coming up. You never know, I bet this teacher wants to make more friends. Or maybe.... maybe... there's another side to the story. There could be smaller, personal, intentions too. At least you know the invitation is friendly, oui? You're in no trouble at all."

    She even had the nerve to peek at the letter, but maybe she was getting too ahead of herself. Instead, she added, "Plus, teachers are always busy, right? It's no wonder mail is faster."

    Martine did raise some good points about the intention of the letter, but Alyssa still felt a little bit unsure about going.

    "Okay, I'll go. But only if you can help me find out where this place is...or maybe we can get lost together, cause I haven't been anywhere other than the main hallway and all of my classrooms. Plus, I have a terrible sense of direction. Good thing the invitation isn't time sensitive, huh?"

    Martine pat Alyssa on the shoulder. "Tu as raison, the invitation doesn't even have a time on it. Still, as much as I'd like to help, I only know two things - my classrooms, and the campus village, because that's where my Cabinet is. As for... Ooh! That's Monsieur Brock's name on it, isn't it? Ha... well, I don't know where his Cabinet would be, but doesn't it show location? Now I'm really confused where you're going. Besides, where is it you're heading? If we get lost, I at least know how to get back to the campus village."

    (Cabinet is the French term for closet, by the way.)

    "Okay, so neither of us have a clue where we're going or how to even get there. We'll just have to get there the only way I know how, and the only way I've used to get places since I was young. Simply find the door with a real Boulder Badge on it and simply make our way there that way...should've thought of that in the first place. It'll be a lot simpler than you think, so just follow me."

    Alyssa's method of finding certain objects in certain places made her sense of direction an afterthought. She quickly made a map in her head & began to head off.

    (That's one way you can visually find Brock's closet, but the best way to find it is follow your ears.)

    In Brock's Closet, the twangs of an acoustic guitar being tuned filled the air as Brock prepared to practice for the night. He had graded the days' work and made dinner for himself and the Vulpixes, so playing guitar for a little while was the best way to relax after an oftentimes long day performing.

    As he warmed up on a simple melody, he wondered if Alyssa had received his message? Perhaps they could both mutually learn something from their brush with the "knowingly harm rule."

    He never tired of telling the story, as he felt it served a cautionary tale to young idols about the humiliation and sometimes physical harm caused when a show or promotion went too far.

    (I bet Brock will turn Martine away at the door, which makes for a good cameo exit, but she could stay longer if Brock allows)

    "Sure! I can walk you there too," Martine piped. Instantly, her ears heard the unmistakable sound of the plucking of acoustic strings. It was a long way away, but the melody was comfortably easy to follow. "Attendez... Do you hear that?"

    "Oui, je veux...I think Brock's closet is the one coming up right about here."

    Sure enough, with ample help from her eyes and ears, the two wound up in front of Brock's closet. Alyssa, with the invitation still in hand, knocked on the door calmly and waited for an answer.

    A knock snapped Brock to attention. That must be her. he smiled as he set the guitar aside and went to answer the door, Hinata trotting along behind him.

    He was a little surprised to see Martine with Alyssa, but he figured that Alyssa needed some support in case her tale of knowing harm got to be too much. "Entre, both of you. Make yourselves at home."

    (Not to be picky, but you can change entre to entrez to put it in the command form, as Martine did similarly to attendez..)

    "Wow... This is awesome! What is this?!" Martine beamed. "Incroyable! Votre Cabinet, oui? I can see your guitar... Oh, désolé, Monsieur Brock, I, uh..."

    She glanced at the guitar on the side and suddenly Martine became very jumpy. Still, she kept herself restrained and followed Alyssa in.

    (Care to describe Brock's Closet?)

    "Quel merveilleux placard! This is really something else...looks a lot like my home back in Johto with a slightly more modern look."

    Alyssa glanced around before taking a seat to get a view of the instruments Brock had lined up against the wall. The designs on the walls made her get lost in thought.

    @122 Generation @Sugar

    Brock's Closet resembled a large, roomy cabin in a forest, thanks to some projection screens on some of the walls. In addition to a coffee table piled high with music magazines, a large comfy couch, and a TV with a Nintendo Switch wired to it, there was a bookshelf near the hallway leading to his bedroom, one of the bathrooms, and his music studio. The guitar Brock had been playing was on a stand near the bookshelf.

    The walls were decorated with pictures from various places Miracolore had visited, plus a couple of instruments Brock had received as gifts for his performances and community work, but most of them he had not gotten around to learning how to play just yet--the most prominent ones being a ukulele from an Alola trip, and his most used minstrel's harp; a silver instrument decorated with green ivy inlays.

    "Oui! Très agréable!" Martine added. "Ha... Excuse me, Monsieur Brock, but may I have a look around...?"

    Still, she didn't bother with a response, as Martine took note of the music studio first in the room (which reminded her of her own studio). This place was very comfortable! Moreover, what caught Martine's eyes was the display of instruments Brock had on display...

    Alyssa had her gaze fixated on the wall designs for what seemed like forever. There was just something about them that looked awfully familiar, but as with most things, she couldn't put her finger on it. Nevertheless, she simply kept admiring it, as an artist would to anjabsolute masterpiece.
