Robert turned to Shiro, still going back to the cooking. "Oh, yeah, they decided to come visit. I really didn't expect it, but it cheered me up to say the least. They did seem like they wanted to catch up, but there's no way I'd make you do all this alone, being that this was mostly my idea." He chuckled to himself, knowing that he would probably let Shiro go off the second he asked to. "So, I'll just wait until the matches start to catch up with them. It's fine with me." Then he went to his earlier thought, about how he'd take on all the cooking himself if Shiro wanted to go somewhere. If Shiro DID have someone visiting, then he'd be more than happy to. But... Did he have someone visiting him today? Robert was reminded about Shiro's phone, especially of that one call that had shocked Shiro a couple of months ago. With that, he assumed that kind of connection would work that well. Maybe he should wait till later to ask something like that, but for now was just going to make the understanding obvious. "Y'know, if you need, or even want to be somewhere else during the festival, feel free to tell me at any time, okay?"

Finally finishing the next order, that unknowingly to him was for his parents, he handed the ramen bowls and ticket to Kiai, who accepted all but the ticket. Swinging it up and down for Kiai to take it and replace it with another, it took around 10 seconds to show that Kiai had no intention of taking it. "Oh come on Kiai, just take it the other ones. It's not like the people who ordered their food are just gonna walk up and be the right ones by luck." After a sigh at what Robert would have no idea about yet, he pulled Robert's hand up to make him look at the ticket. He knew that Robert would just pass it off to Shun instead if some kind of understanding wasn't made. Sighing and looking to see what the point was, there was one part that stood out to Robert, a sloppily written R.P., his initials from what made sense. When Robert was about to question why Kiai, which he assumed due to the sloppy handwriting, had put his initials on a ramen ticket, Kiai just motioned towards the counter. 'Well, whether he realizes what it actually means or not, it should still got his attention.' Making it obvious to Robert that the normal 'bell ding and ticket number' thing isn't how this is going to go, Robert simply headed over. "I don't know what your trying for, but I guess I'll do it. Ticket #15, your order is ready." Hearing their order being called, the two headed over to the stall for all three of them to be suprised the second they saw eachother. "There yah are, Robert!" With a big smile on Roberts face, not able to react from the utter suprise of the situation, Kiai had moved the bowls out of the way before Robert was pretty much Tackled over the counter by his mother. "Eheh, great to see you to, Mom, Dad. Can't really say I expected this." With both of them getting up, his father simply laughed and continued forward. "See honey, I told you we'd find him after we got our Ramen. And it's not like you left us much line for communication when you even left your cellphone back at home. Sure, we understood it as 'going out and proving yourself with what you can do,' but it was still hard for your mother worrying about whenever she's not in the gym." While Will let out another laugh, Akako simply got a smirk on her face. "Oh, so you act like I was the only one blubbering. Of course, whenever YOU got home and realized Robert wasn't there, all that Brine was just salt water." With the energy visible between, they were interrupted once again by their stomache's growling. Kiai let out a sigh, or whatever it would be for him, and simply grinned to see that they were the same as usual. He handed them the bowls, happy to dig in when they actually noticed who he was. "Wait, Kiai? Is that you? Wow, seems you've grown in this time. A Lucario and everything." Kiai simple grinned at their enthusiasm. That would explain why they didn't notice him right of the bat, anyway. While Robert would have been more than happy continuing this 'long time, no see' chat, he remembered what he was busy doing. "Hey, uh. Sorry to put a damper on things, but I'm a bit tied up at the moment, and I doubt Shiro would be fine making all these orders all by himself, so..." "Oh, of course. Wouldn't want to burden your friend. We'll see you after, or maybe even before your match." With that, they went around to see what else was there to offer, while Robert and Kiai simply went back to work with grins on their faces.

Okay, updated the main 'team reference,' on my 'OC Post' on page 1, but here's the team (with updates) since a lot of people are already doing it. Current Team Reference:

1830

1828 Okay, so that means just Fire types. Okay then.

1826 ^ Hmm, I guess as long as they don't have Fire types. Question is, is Fire type the only hated type? Like, are they okay with Bug and Flying Types?

1821

1819 Very true.

1817 Wait a minute... Growlie! James's Growlithe! Oh my goodness, it all connects so well! 1) First Pokemon is Growlithe 2) From what you've described, the Kafkin's are decently wealthy. 3) Ran away from home after being told to do something they would never accept doing. 4) Confronted by 'Team Rocket' to join them. I swear, if one of them has a Vileplume, this will be this chat's own little reference.

1811 If I could combine all my free time in one, I probably would have made my next post in the IC by now. ( lol )

1809

1807 No prob. Now, to see if this lasts until Slade's first match, or if Claude causes it to happen now. Also, being Mr. and Mrs. Kafkin seem like obvious Grass-trainers, statuses moves make running seem unlikely at best... So, we'll see what happens. (Avatar gets popcorn)

1805 So... Regarding Dobby's post in the OOC... Do you want that 'you ruined my getaway' situation to happen?

1803 So... I can see where your going with the parent dynamic. Makes sense.

1801 Yeah!!!

1791 *sigh* Okay good. Now, to come up with ways that Angry Jackpot can be made in a game.

1789 Wait, it's also a Video Game reference? Okay then, guess I can accept that... Just need the original source then.

1785 Well... It wasn't as much of a reference, as much as warping the joke about 70. Did I do a bad job at showing that? Edit: Y'know, 777 is jackpot, 70 joke, just made it through that.

Oh, sure. No prob. Was waiting to see your view, so I'll just continue when I have the time.And sure, I'll mention Kiai and Shun BOTH working at the counter next post, then.

1781 @Nick: Has More or less has become 'Infinite free time user' And really? No reaction to 'Angry Jackpot'?
