The story so far...

After a troublemaking outing to the Café (which left a few unpaid drinks, one rather large and expensive window and the relaxation of a certain Lucario all as casualties), October was pursued and whisked back to make him pay off his debt. With his partner in agreement, his means of escape cut off and stuck in the form of a crimson Ninetales, October had no choice but to agree.

And so he stayed... and he cleaned... and he made more messes, some of which he was able to even sort out. He's made friends in the rogue-like Umbreon Chai and the hyper-enthusiastic Sylveon Colin; he's made enemies in the form of three very dark-looking Mightyena, and over it all watches a pair of red eyes that seem to be analysing his every move.

After a while, things even start to go well for him. His tricks start to work, he even starts getting paying customers. But when a new bounty poster on the waiter's notice board...

...well. He never really had an overabundance of luck, did he...?
