Yours Truly

(8) Unsurprisingly enough the majority of the crowd decided to not mess with the woman who decided to have a Pokemon battle in the middle of a crowded street, and other than a few dirty looks and the vague and ever looming threat of someone calling the police on you (Which is a pretty empty threat all things considered, as someone reporting a violent Pokemon battle occurring in the underground is treated with as much seriousness as one who rather loudly states that water is wet.), you manage to accomplish your dirty business in a relatively unmolested manner as you pry the blood and ink slick briefcase from the suspect's broken and beaten form...just before you quickly fucked off to wherever the hell the exit is supposed to be. It did not take long for you to find yourself in the long and slightly dank room staircase that leads out of the stairway..perhaps you might want to catch your breath? You did run for a particularly long time to get here after all... (2) The woman quickened her pace to try and get him away from him as she said, "Well I do mind, and I honestly don't think that you would find my friend Alan to be pretty, so buzz off before you do something that you regret." Rather unfortunately It was at this moment that Elias's feet failed him now as he slipped and fell down to the ground....with his hand pushing her by the ass in just the right way to knock her forward and almost down to the ground. It was at this moment where he knew that he fucked up, and it was also this moment where the woman quickly reacted by quickly turning around to kick him off of her ass and pull out a can of mace in one swift and graceful movement... that caused a rather immense amount of pain to Elias as she promptly shuffled away and bukkakeing the contents of the can on his face. The youngster not Joey suddenly looked sheepish as he covered his mouth and said, "OH! right...that's smart! Well I wish the three of you luck then, and I hope that you find whoever it is you're looking for!".

Irene slowly scanned the contents of the room with her eyes from her vantage point in the far right corner of the room as she heard the lieutenant's debriefing, and she waited until everyone else had finished speaking before she said, "Since this already sounds like a disaster waiting to happen I just wanted to ask... what happens if we don't hear anything from the boarding party once they enter the corvette? How long are we supposed wait for them to make contact?". Despite her paranoia she honestly had to admit that Vixen had a point there, why would the Resanti place a trap so close to one of their known systems? And why would they try to hide it so much? None of this really made that much sense to her, and she found herself trying to quell her usual fears by attempting to focus on the one thought that really mattered. 'At least I'm not the one who has to get in there.' Not that it worked of course.

An awkward moment passed as the kid whose name was definitely not Joey blankly stared at the three of them, as if a part of his mind was busy with trying to think of an appropriate response. (12) Rather unfortunately for anyone here who still hoped that they would be able to remain stealthy, the young boy seemed to believe every single word they said when he yelled out, "OH MY GOSH IS THAT TRUE? ARE THE THREE OF YOU REALLY HEROES? BECAUSE NONE OF YOU ARE DRESSED AS HEROES...OH MY GOSH IS THIS A SECRET MISSION? ARE YOU HUNTING DOWN A BAD GUY HIDING OUT IN THE WOODS OR SOMETHING? AND WHAT WERE YOU GUYS CALLED AGAIN?." (10) Cleffy seemed to have a spark of inspiration as it quickly spun through the air faster and faster, causing the many keys it has on its person to grind and jingle against each other quickly enough to produce a sound that is grating enough to cause a grown man to drop down and vainly attempt to cover his ears, along with his Houndour and the two or so people unlucky enough to be right behind him. His Houndour lets out a sound of great discomfort as it crouched down to the floor and vainly tried to get its opponent to shut up with yet another burst of flame..... (12) That against all odds managed to strike true and melt several keys that you have never seen before and cause Cleffy to reflexively drop down to the ground to get away from the blazing inferno... that keeps on going and going until it practically engulfs some unlucky bastard's hotdog stand... and the three other stalls behind it... and the guy manning the first stall who appears to be rolling around on the ground as he screams in pain and complaining about how unjust his life has turned out to be. (11) Horace's appearance....did not make things any better to be brutally honest, as in his haste he pressed down on poor little Magnum a bit too hard and sprayed a high pressure jet of black ink that was strong enough to create an uncomfortable splash zone around the increasingly wet dog as it travelled through the air and collided into its master's face with a distinct and clearly audible cracking sound that you hoped had nothing to do with either of their necks breaking. The members of the crowd shot you a dirty look as you tried to move through them, emphasis on tried as someone pushed you out of it soon afterwards... not that you really have a need to hide from anyone now, as you quickly realize that the perp seems to be too busy with cradling his (hopefully only unconcious) Houndour while whinging about how he wanted to go home to plan an attack. (2) The woman coldly shook Elias off to refuse his help as she quickly stood up on her own two feet, "Well Elias, my day was fine until a certain someone decided to run down a busy alleyway without checking his surroundings, now if you'll excuse me I am going to go and find my friend," she said as she turned around to rejoin the crowd heading towards a certain metallic sound.

Radovan's hands did not stop ruffling Zeta's hair as the ice cream woman apparently suffered a bit of a mental breakdown in front of the two of them, and he tried his best to not seem overly rude when he turned to stare directly at Jenny before he said, "I don't think that you have accomplished nothing miss Jenny, I mean...you must have made a lot of people happy with your ice cream right? That's got to count for something....". He took a moment to look around the place for anything he could use to help Jenny wipe away the ice cream as he walked closer to where she was standing, "And in all honesty I don't want to look away, I want to stay here and try to help you out....if that is at all possible."

Jun nodded in response to Satomi's statement before she politely said, "I understand, making sure that this village has the defenses it needs to survive the siege is a lot more important than adding additional plating on my suit of armor. Also if you can't get Leo to help you out you should try asking Arminius or Lucille for help, as while the two of them presumably can't swing a pick worth a damn they can presumably order their minion to help or design some form of biological stone carving monster. That and you might want to ask Calvera if she can exert her own gravitational field if you needed any help with lifting the stones back to the wall."

To Jun it was pretty damn obvious that Satomi was still more than a little angry about what happened last night if her tone of voice and the look she was giving her was any indication, and she tried vainly to steer the conversation to a slightly more friendly direction by saying, "I just wanted to find out what your plans were for today; because I wanted to know if you had the time to help me out with improving my armor's plating."

Jun had chosen to politely step away from the conversation going on between Leo and Kusuke a few moments ago after she realized that she really couldn't add anything to the conversation, especially since Leo was already doing a halfway decent job of convincing the timefucker to work his magic on the ingot... despite his insistence on teling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth of course. It was only good fortune (or presumably as Satomi would see it, bad fortune) that Jun's mostly aimless jogging brought her right to where Satomi was seated. She slowly tried to make her presence known by politely coughing before she said, "I would suggest that the third person be Leo, but I am pretty sure that he won't be free until this evening. Although you could probably ask him to make some extra mining drones and direct them to gather stones instead of gems."

After a few awkward moments of directionlessly rolling on the floor, Ahmed picked himself up from the hard floor, he decided that it was indeed time to strike once more as he cautiously approached the red EVA with his progressive knife in hand as he threw a large chunk of miscellaneous train parts at Asuka to distract and annoy her once more.

(4) Rather unfortunately despite the years you have spent by associating yourself with older and interesting looking men, you do not seem to know of anyone that could actually help you track down the remnants of a criminal organization/learn of any criminal whose MO includes dressing up as a member of another criminal gang to draw attention away from their identity, or at least... not anyone you would want to get in touch with again anyway. "You say that now obviously since you have never had to deal with them, but let me tell you; if you put aside the fact that they were disbanded two separate times with the help of small children; they were one of the more dangerous and pervasive criminal organizations running around in the world; with their hands in every single criminal enterprise you could think of!. I still don't get why people think that team Rocket couldn't criminal their way out of a wet paper bag these days.," said Daniel as he put his mug down on the coffee table in front of him. "Probably because they have never met any of them, and Daniel you have to admit; based on the reports I am reading... they're not exactly the sharpest tools in the cupboard. Remember the Slowpoke tail incident?" Emilia helpfully opinionated as she continued to read the rocket report. "The one down in Azalea Town?," questioned Daniel as he leaned in a tiny bit closer to get a better look at the reports that Emilia was reading. "Oh I remember that one, Kurt still brags about how he hurt his back after he singlehandedly fought off five members of team rocket," Oak helpfully added as he politely smiled and raised his mug to his face again. "Did he actually manage to do that?," asked Emilia with an eyebrow visibly raised in disbelief. "No, he later admitted to me that he actually slipped from the stairs and fell on his back. The former champion himself apparently helped him climb back up" (10) Cleffy quickly snaps to attention as it soars through the air and slowly starts to glow with a queer energy; before it loudly jingles its keys and annoys pretty much everyone in the alleyway around the three of you by blocking off all exits and entrances surrounding its area. This causes the man you were chasing to bump straight into the suddenly materializing wall of chains and padlocks, and he rather swiftly reacts by releasing a rather vicious looking Houndour who immediately attempts to dissuade Serra from approaching any closer by firing off an Ember in her direction. (4 v 5) That fortunately enough misses its mark by a rather wide margin. Of course you are still trapped in an alleyway with a rather pissed off looking man who uhh...looks a lot bigger now that you have gotten a good look at him, and judging by the expressions visible on the few people who were around when Cleffy worked her magic...it doesn't seem as if you would get help anytime soon, especially since Horace and Elias were apparently not following close behind you all along. Whoops. @DemICE (1) Okay, so apparently Serra wasn't there the whole time; which makes things more than a little bit awkward, as you have been talking at her for the last... 5 or so minutes? You're not really sure, you think she just stepped away from you at least. What you are sure about is that Elias's conversation with this 'Poebal repir shop' guy was going absolutely nowhere, and to be brutally honest the man seems way too... what was that fancy word that one other child used to say about you? Oh right, it was, imbecilic; That's the word, he seems to be too much of an imbecile to be able to figure out what that package contains.... and he genuinely seemed to not have any silver cases or manilla folders anywhere in his shop. You were just about to mention Serra's absence to Elias when he just... flipped the vendor the bird and ran off!. @Yash (11) So this guy is an idiot, you knew this from the moment you saw the sign to his shop; I mean seriously? The man can't even spell the words 'Pokeball' or 'Repair' properly, how in the hell is he supposed to be able to repair a Pokeball?. And quite frankly you are not sure how you even got into this argument about racial profiling, you just came here to ask the man for directions for Arceus's sake! And why the hell was a man working in the arse end of the shadiest district in Goldenrod complaining so much when you asked if his supplies 'fell off a truck' anyway?. It was about the time the man started to complain about white privilege when you notice that Serra has started to run down the alleyway in pursuit of something, and it was also by this point that you lose what little was left of your patience and quickly flip the man the bird before you start to chase after Serra... and lose sight of her soon afterwards as a collision with a slightly attractive looking woman dressed in a black long sleeved shirt and pants sends the both of you sprawling down to the hard and slightly naff floors. As you slowly pick yourself off of the floor you notice a cerise letter R that has been rather discreetly emblazoned above her right breast, and your knowledge of the underworld allows you to quickly peg the woman as just another team Rocket fangirl as you watch her rub the back of her head through her dark brown hair as she says, "WHAT THE HELL? WHO DOES THAT?"

A sly smile slowly started to form on Radovan's face as he heard Zeta's question, and he gave Cathode a sideways glance. "Well Zeta, that is because Cathode is not as used to physical contact as you are, and would presumably not find any enjoyment in the act," He continued to rather firmly pet and ruffle the young girl as he continued with, "Which is a bit of a shame since her hair seems as if it would be fun to run my hands through~, but of course to do so without her permission or enjoyment would a ungentlemanly. As gentleman should always respect a lady's wishes after all, spoken or otherwise." His other hand was just about to reach down to grab his balls firmly.. before he releases his Pokemon from them. When he saw Jenny knock all of her precious, precious ice cream cones... and more importantly all of the ice cream down to the floor, and after he heard her sudden exclamation he simply decided to ask, "Why? Why can't you do this?"

Immanuel Immanuel decided to quickly send his project leader an equally short message in response while the taxi started to pull over to the sidewalk. He put his phone back inside of his suit's inner pocket before Crow's response arrived, and the pocket bounced away from his chest for just a moment as he stepped outside of the cab, causing the vibration caused by Crow's message arriving to come unnoticed while he took a tiny bit of cash outside of his wallet and paid the cab fare with a frankly modest tip. He adjusted his suit jacket slightly as he turned around to get a better look at the glass and concrete reinforced brick facade of the Blauer Himmel. He spent another moment to stare at the slowly greying sky visible outside, and noted how it seemed to blend in perfectly with the mural painted on the second floor's ceiling that he could see from here. Although the clouds in said mural seemed to...fade away to reveal a clear blue sky when he finally entered the building, must have been expensive. It did not take long for Immanuel to find his grandfather's office, as in all honesty it was pretty damn easy to find 'The Old German man wearing a monocle and a cloak', especially when there was an actual sign pointing in the direction of his office that had those exact words written on it in both Kanji and English. He knocked on the wooden door with the old 'Surgeon's knock' his grandfather taught him (Shave and a haircut, NO LEGS) before he slowly opened the door and entered the room while saying, "Hey old man." The old man, in a deep voice betraying no hint of the weakness of age, responded with one word. "Yo." (cont.)

Daniel seemed to not miss a beat as he ignored Jeanne's remark and went straight to business by replying with, "Team Rocket, but they disbanded for the second time years ago after they got their collective asses kicked by a pair of young kids who went on to challenge the Poke League." Oak rather helpfully chimed in by interjecting with, "For the second time if I might add; they weren't even the same kids, and I of all people should know best." As Oak finished saying this, Emilia suddenly exclaimed "Because it was his son, his son was there the first time this happened," without even looking up from the large stack of folders she was shifting through. "Well actually he is my grandson but yes, he was there," Said Oak with a slightly proud smile on his face. "So what is your theory right now? That the remnants of team rocket's remnants walked up to Steve and risked being discovered to try and steal the Silph Case? Because I seriously doubt that anyone who managed to escape the authorities a second time in a row could possibly be dumb enough to do something so...brazen," said Daniel with a mug in his hand that should really have been empty from coffee a loong time ago. So imagine this, the three of you were walking down a series of alleyways; the air feels stale and it smells like a mixture of sweat, refuse, and motor oil; the lighting is spotty at times, and you often find it difficult to see ahead of you properly; the floor is marred by the occasional tiny ditch or hole that causes water to pool inside of it. The three of you are headed deeper inside of the Goldenrod underground to find even a glimmer of information you could use to find the still vaguely defined 'missing Lilipup' the professor (and your boss) had charged you with finding. The search in all honesty seemed a bit fruitless for a moment, especially when the three of you seemed to have a knack for surreptitiously encountering illegal or vaguely legal yet morally bankrupt activities and services that have absolutely nothing to do with what you were here to find. (Super Overshot + Critical Failure) But she sees it while Elias was busy with interrogating a man who was in all honesty the world's most suspicious Pokeball repairman; she spots someone passing by herwho held an honest to Arceus briefcase with a badly covered silph co. symbol emblazoned on it. She unconsciously starts to break away from the rest of the group and start to tail the man without a hint of hesitation, as if she had just... assumed that someone would take the hint and spot her before she got too far away, and she wouldn't notice it until it was faaar too late, and the man had already noticed her tailing him... and started to make a run for it.

Jun had stepped out of the smithery and headed back for the inn a moment earlier to try and find an appropriate room to 'powder her nose' in; after she remembered that a promise she made to a certain someone the other day would take her out to the forest, potentially for hours. The fact that she came back to find Leo jumping down from a particularly large sunflower to frantically try to form a box over what appears to be the crumbling remains of a smaller box was in all honesty, not as surprising as some would find it. She slowly sidled up to the Dryad as the man continued to try and clean up his mess, and she coughed a bit before she said, "So uh... what happened while I was away?"

Orenucu took one long look at the viruses, and they all took one long look at him. There was only one thought running through the NetNavi's mind as his operator slotted in the chips they were going to use for this battle and an imaginary tumbleweed rolled down the row separating the four of them from each other. 'Well this is easy'.

Steve instinctively moved his legs to hide something when Jeanne snapped him out of his trance. A familiar blush returned to his face once more before he sheepishly said, "Wwell I can give you my Pokegear number... yyou know, just in case you need any more help." The short walk back to the conference rooms was completely uneventful as everyone else seemed to be too busy to bother her with anything. Jeanne would hear the sound of genuine sounding laughter coming from inside of the room, and after opening the door she would soon find out that Oak was busy laughing at his own jokes. It did not take long for both Emilia and Daniel to notice her presence, and after a short exchange of pleasantries with Oak, the boss man slowly turned to face her and said, "Well? Have you made any progress on the case yet? Because you do realize that I am not paying you to sit around in the office right?". Youngster Not Joey walked a little bit closer to gently poke Aster on his right shoulder to try and get the man's attention before he said, "Wait, why are the three of you looking for thugs anyway?" with a rather curious look on his face.

By the way @Jeane, I highly recommend that you hop over to the Discord server for this game, as we can in all honesty help teach you pretty much everything you don't know about mecha RPs or this RP in general. Also because we mostly do our OOC conversations over there and I honestly don't want you to miss out on anything. https://discord.gg/nzBhsNE ^The link for the server if you missed it, just ping Lexi for the Eclipse role.

Alan quickly packed up all of his belongings and ordered the Sectopod to follow him back to the Firebrand as he says, "Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I am going to order my giant death robot to follow me back to base; as it is currently under my command. The both of you can decide where your giant death robot goes if you ever get one."

Jun quickly makes a gesture as if to say 'I'll be right back' before she walked back to her room in the inn and brought a container full of deathwyvern blood, one of the deathwyvern's bones, and the one scale she bothered to keep, with her as she walked back to the smithy and placed them all down on the table that Leo was sitting on, "What can you make with bones anyway? And uhh...exactly one middling sized scale."

Jun slid the admittedly shoddy belt she had made earlier over to Toshiro as she said, "And do you happen to know any other mana effects that would pair well with the weapon? And uhh... you don't happen to have a use for two gallon's worth of potentially poisonous blood taken from a dragon don't you?... or any of its bones and teeth actually." BELT

After a rather busy and generally unsatisfying morning that involved almost choking on a sausage that was too big for her mouth, trying and failing to gleam even more information about this world's culture and.... finding her notebook stolen the moment she looked away from it in the suspiciously brand new looking Inn. She then tried to make a belt by herself while she waited for Toshiro to finish smelting her sword, and that.... worked relatively well, by the standards of the day that is. She was well on her way to showing the result to the fish man when she opened the door to the smithery... and found the man on the floor, gripping his arm in pain, and screaming out what to her ears sounded like a generic scream of pain, but could have in all honesty have been fishman for 'FUCK THIS'. She let out a sigh before she sat down on a nearby chair and tabled the belt for some other time, "You know on the bright side, if we actually succeed in turning this metal into an actual sword; that wave of agonizing pain when struck thing would be a really useful feature... if we can channel enough mana into it of course."

While it would have been properly dramatic to say that it was at this moment that Ahmed knew he fucked up, we both know that he had realized this waaaay before he was thrown in anyone's direction. A moment of silence passed as he found himself trying his best to work through the pain decide between curling up into a ball to try and allow Satomi to dodge him easier (at the cost of potentially dealing a lot more damage to both his and Satomi's EVA if this fails.) or sprea-oh wait no he could just.... He quickly surveyed his surroundings to try and find absolutely anything to hold onto as he yelled out, "GET OUT OF THE WAY!.

Jun made damn sure to turn away from Satomi for the few moments it took for her to quickly get dressed, "Well actually I was trying to not embarrass you any further and not refer to the matter directly but uhh-" she turned around again to get a good look at Satomi before she rather quietly said, "Your chest.... they're sort of.... pointy right now". She coughed as politely as possible before she turned around slightly to face the wilderness, "I'll uhh... go on ahead if you don't mind." She said as she slowly started down the long and slightly awkward walk back towards the village.

"They actually aren't my business, but I was just pointing it out because of how... awkward it would be to walk around the place in nothing but your kimono." Jun quickly takes off her cloak as she slowly walks towards the waterline, "So basically in this case you don't need a towel to dry yourself off because for all intents and purposes, you are the towel; good to know. Any chance of you being able to do that on someone else?"

"And what did you mean by that exactly?" She said before she rather reluctantly turned around to survey the area and the equipment and clothing they all brought with them for a moment... until she realized something "On the subject of doing without, I have just realized that not only did one here bring a towel with them, but that Satomi here has apparently elected to do without her underwear for the near future."
