OOC: Agh, two-person posting spree...dang, it's been a while since the last time I saw one of those! xD
Anyways, small correction, BB; Valen had to sitt down again because Kachiko got so happy about seeing him up that she leapt and latched onto his leg, which was kind of more than the boy could support at the moment. ^-^ But anyways, that's a moot really, and it's time for an...

Valen groaned as Cona began raving on about conspiracies again, shaking his head. He decided to ignore the annoying girl altogether for the moment, noting that she seemed quite preoccupied with whatever it was she was talking about anyway and turning his attention elsewhere, only to see someone even worse. It was JJ, approaching with a definitely faked smile, and quite a bad one at that, and immediately attempting to strike up a conversation with Reina, beginning with a foolish question, quite fitting for one of his intellect.
"Right here, risking our necks trying to sort out this mess..." the boy replied "...which is more than can be said for certain people." he added, the point of his sentence aimed as much at the Waiwai Inc. guards, all of them making a big show out of their 'investigation' and poking around the place without really accomplishing much, as the boy in front of him "And of course I'm not hurt, oh observant one." he added sarcastically to the boy's later comment, "Bloody bandages just happen to be the latest trend in street fashion."
"Fashion, loveh?" Lori, who had discreetly made her way over to them while Valen was preoccupied with being sarcastic, "My, my...I didn't expect you to be one for such things..." she continued, wearing one of her usual smiles, "But then again..." the woman added, casting a glance at Reina and putting on a far more knowing smile, "...I didn't expect you to be the type to make a little getaway with a girl in the middle of a crisis either...not even with a girl who dresses like a boy." at this point, Lori cast a distasteful glance at the clothes Reina was wearing, "It's surprising what one can see when working under Slythie, isn't it?"
A definitely furious expression flashed across Valen's face as he heard these words, but he just as quickly surpressed it, keeping both expression and voice as even as he could manage, "With all due respect, m'am, you would know precisely what it's like to be under...Slythie, as you call him." he retorted viciously, purposefully placing an emphasis on the word 'under', and sure enough, Lori took the hint.
"Why-I never-" she began in a slightly huffed tone, folding her arms defensively, but before she could continue, a third party had already cut into the conversation, namely, Vincent.
"That will be enough from both of you." he said, raising a hand towards each of them while placing himself betweeen them.
"But-" Lori protested.
"I said enough." Vincent repeated sternly, "We're in the middle of an investigation and don't have time for your childish bickering, so whatever either of you has or hasn't done with anyone is irrelevant." he turned to adress Valen, leaving Lori to her indignation.
"Now, Valen." the security chief continued, his voice taking on a slightly more friendly note, "What do you have to report?"
The boy took a small pause before answering, straightening up his pose a bit as he prepared to give a report, "It appears that your assumption was correct." he began, "The disturbance did indeed originate from this place. It was a group of robed and hooded figures, five in all. They claimed to be 'the disciples of Typhoeus', a cult of some kind. And they were standing over there." he gestured towards the ruined seats over the pen, "They were performing some kind of chant that placed certain pok?mon under their control, pok?mon such as that Aggron." he gestured towards the unconscious steel type.
"Chanting people in robes?" Lori echoed sceptically, still sore about Valen's remark "A likely story. Vince, you aren't taking this seriously, are you?"
"Of course I am." Vincent replied in a nonchalant tone, briefly turning his gaze to meet the woman's "I trust my operatives, Lori. And I trust my son. Now continue, please." he added, turning to Valen, "What happened next?"
"Well, the Aggron's attention seemed centered on me for some reason..." the boy continued, "So I took up the task of diverting the creature while Reina here..." he nodded towards the girl, "Took up fighting of the cultists. I think it would be best if she explained that part herself. I'll give a full report back at headquarters."
Vincent nodded, "See that you do." he replied, frowning slightly, "And after that it's obvious that we'll have to revise some lessons." the security chief added.
"What?" Valen asked, his voice now sounding offended, "Why? I got the job done, didn't I?"
"Not to mention that you almost killed yourself in the process." Vincent retorted, casting a stern glance at the boy, "And that you let a civilian get involved. You know the rules, Valen, and the fact that you did manage to stop the chaos might be the only reason for Slythe to keep you, he is not tolerant about failure...as you well know."
The boy made as if to respond but then thought the better of it, taking on a scowl and falling into silence again.
"Now...Reina, is it?" Vincent continued, turning to adress the girl, "It sounds like you've done some impressive work, reckless thought it was. I am Vincent, chief of security for Waiwai Inc. Could you please tell me your view on the events?"

Fable grinned as Kuner rambled about how he had misused the word 'dialect'.. Wow, he'd have to use that one again sometime. But what was even funnier to the Sableye was his answer to the Christmas Tree question.
{Heehee! Wrongness!} Fable exclaimed, twisting his head at an odd angle like he had done earlier that day, his grin still revealing his teeth. {But Fable shan't tell you the answer just yet, for it is required for perplexing!}
Avery had altogether blanked out Fable's ranting at this point, looking on towards the conversation between Valen, Lori, and Vincent, although she couldn't exactly hear what was being exchanged from her perspective. Well, apparently they knew each other..
However, she knew from experience that butting into people's conversations, especially when they seemed or maybe just acted overly official, was not a very good idea. And so all she could do was wait, not answering Cona's question simply because she did not know the answer.

While Rosairie and Henna bickered, Silence had been listening. It was what he did best. He had heard raised voices in the adjoining alleys, and Silence, although cowardly, liked to know what was going on. He slunk away from his trainer, keeping his belly to the floor as he crept towards the group. What was it they were saying? He struggled to understand. Humans spoke in such peculiar ways, with so many different accents. Silence cast a glance back at Rosairie. She was still arguing with Henna, and neither of them had noticed Silence's vanishing act. He chuckled to himself, and took a step forward, peering around the wall. Rosairie was such a self-absorbed person - it really came in handy.
There was the boy Rosairie had saved, and his girlie, and they were arguing - the boy's voice was angry, bitter, and Silence flattened his ears against his head. How he hated anger! Something told him the boy was being cornered - something in his questioner's voice, maybe. He fixed his grey eyes on Vince, but that man was a stranger. The woman, now he recognised her, but was she friend or foe? Silence knew one thing; he was on the injured boy's side, just as the cubone named Cespaner was. He edged forward a little bit more. They were turning to Reina now, demanding she give an account-
"Siiiiiii!" a girl's voice broke out from no where. "Silence, where've you gone?" Rosairie called.
The jolteon's ears pricked, and he gave a little mew. He hated choices! Goto Rosairie, his saviour... or watch? This'll...lead back to us, I'm sure... she told himself, It'll be dominoes, a chain of events...I need to watch.
The jolteon rose to his feet, torn between the safety of Rosairie and the scene unfolding before him.
"Silence? S-si?" she called again. Silence could hear her now, behind him. Her voice was fearful, and it made him shudder. He shook his head, and streaked off back to his trainer. Never mind the law, he thought, That can wait.

OOC: Guh... sorry about the lateness, my parents were hogging both computers this morning. -_- I overslept and they got to them first! I'm back now though. ^-^
Reina
-------------
Before Reina could address JJ's question, Valen answered it for them with his own remark. As soon as he was done saying his piece though, Reina elaborated.
"Yeah, he's right, we were busy fighting off the bad guys... though, I'm sure you all must have had your own battles to fight, eh?" Reina said, knowing that their opponents couldn't have been as bad as Valen and her's, but that they still had some opponents. As Lori approached them upon hearing the word 'fashion', she seemed to be looking at Reina in a different way than before when registering and the tour. Reina really wasn't too fond of Lori and hoped she just left or was told to shut up by that other man soon.
She wasn't about to say anything to Lori, but when the woman made a comment on her taste in clothing, Reina felt more than little bit offended. "Hmph...," she grunted, not really sure how to make a comeback, and too angry to think straight. She instead watched as Valen and Lori began to bother each other, obviously speaking about things that Reina did not know about. She didn't really care what it was about, as long as it made Lori angry, it satisfied her.
Vincent finally broke them up, and Valen gave his report to the man. Reina spaced out a little on Vincent's orderly hair, wondering how long it took him to get it so straight. Lori immediately protested Valen's account of the robed men, but Vincent made it clear that he belived him. Reina frowned as he said 'my son'. Was he talking about Valen? With their attention shifting to her though, she didn't have time to think on it, and instead began to gather her memories of what happened.
She cleared her throat a bit and spoke clearly, "My Heracross and I made our way up to the pen that the Aggron had been in. The robed men were all doing their chant-thing, and so Tabansi and I tried to get them to stop. When we went to attack them, they somehow called some crazed pokemon to their aid. We had to get past them, and then attack them. I punched one guy in the jaw, and some of the others got burned by my Ninetails. When a few of them were weakened, it seemed like the chant got weaker as well. Some of the pokemon that had been crazy before weren't anymore, but most still were. Then we fought some more, and I tried to tackle the leader, but he got me in the stomach first, summoned up a Steelix from below us, and ran off with his little cronies all atop the pokemon. They said something about them not being finished with this place yet." Reina shrugged, "That's about it really. I'm a little sore and a bit confused about what's happened, but both will pass with time I'm sure."
Tabansi moved closer to Reina's side, he didn't really trust any of these people, even if they did know Valen. He couldn't help but feel uneasy about all of this for some reason.

Well Kyoko was flustered to say the least and the once still rag doll had now become a flustered squeaking thing flailing her arms like a baby duckling in an attempt to be put down. She couldn't see where on EARTH she was being taken and being carried in such horrendously embarssing mannor wasn't helping her already fragile (okay so they hardly existed) emotions from snapping and the once quiet thing was now squawking to be let down and to be let down NOW before something or someone was punished brutally by her metal plated gloves she had hidden away in her knapsack

OOC: Urgh...need...to...get...an...IC...done...meh, my eyes hurt a bit...I just very naughtily and in defiance of 4kids' safety regulations watched the banned Electric soldier Porygon episode. Dang...so much unnecessary flash...~_~ Still, the old clueless cowardly Ash was kind of funny, much better than the current one, besides, the episodes are always much more fun when they're spoken in japanese. ^-^ I wish they'd do that here too and just put in subtitles...not to mention changing the airing times. Oh well...
IC:
Vincent listened to Reina's explanation without interrupting while Valen and Lori were busy exchanging deathstares and discreet, but probably rather obscene, hand signlas behind his back. When the girl had finished, the security chief nodded.
"A Steelix, you say?" he asked in confirmation, glancing up at the ruined stage, "Yes, the damage does seem to be consistent with your story and you do not seem like a liar to me." Vincent took a small pause "So...we have no culprits to question, no motive for their actions, and only two eye witnesses who saw the whole scene..." he stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Well, thank you for your co-operation." he concluded, nodding towards Reina, "I believe we have a sufficient picture of the situation at the moment...provided that you are done investigating the scene?" he added to the various guards, all of them quickly lining up to proclaim that this was, indeed, the case.
"Good." Vincent said simply, turning to adress the whole group, "Lori, would you be as kind as to take two guards with you and escort these civilians to Overcity?" he gestured towards Avery, Cona, and JJ, "I'm afraid you will have to stay in this city for the night at least." he concluded in a slightly apologetic tone, "Under the current circumstances I doubt that anyone will be permitted to leave. I'd suggest going to the local pok?mon center if you can't afford better lodgings. They will surely have sympathy for your plight there."
Lori merely shrugged at the command, "Fine." she replied in a tone that suggested that she couldn't care less about spending more time in the company of this particular male anyway "This way please, lovehs." the woman said, returning to her usual flowery voice and accompanying it with her characteristic smile, "And don't stray too far from our little group...curiosity killed the Meowth, you know."
"As for you two..." Vicent added, turning his attention to Valen and Reina, "You will have to be taken to a hospital. Recall your pok?mon, please."
"But the report-" Valen protested.
"Once you are better." the security chief interrupted him, "You will need to be in full health both mentally and physically if you are to give a proper account of the events. And thorough though that aid you have gotten seems to be..." he cast a glance at the various bandages wrapped around Valen's wounds, "...I highly doubt that getting proffessional help would make matters worse."
"Whatever..." Valen scoffed, quite skillfully taking the two empty pok?balls with only one hand and returning Kachiko and Cespenar into them before clipping them back onto his belt. Truth to be told, it wasn't like he was by any means eager to give his report to Slythe, quite the contrary really, but for someone who hated relying on anyone else for anything, the thought of spending an indeterminate time lying in some hard-mattressed bed with thin, paper-like sheets and headache-white walls surrounded by machines that go beep and constantly being fussed over by a horde of people in white coats was hardly appealing.
"Very good." Vincent said, "You two, come help, please." he gestured for three of the guards to gather around "One of you come and help me with Valen, the other look after this young lady and see if she needs any help. And the rest of you..." he turned to the remaining guards, "Fan out and search the city for straggling trainers and direct them to Overcity. Is this clear?"
"Yes sir!" the remaining guards replied in rigorously practiced unison, each of them picking a street and jogging down it while Vincent walked over to Valen, carefully slipping under the boy's right arm while the other one took his left and the third man simply stood in Reina's vicinity but didn't dare to approach further out of fear for the Heracross that was keeping watch over the girl.
"Well, let's get going." Vincent said, adjusting his grip so as to put as little pressure on the arm as possible, "The nearest elevator shouldn't be too far, although I think it's best if we don't take the same one as Lori's lot."

"Whatever..." Valen scoffed, quite skillfully taking the two empty pok?balls with only one hand and returning Kachiko and Cespenar into them before clipping them back onto his belt. Truth to be told, it wasn't like he was by any means eager to give his report to Slythe, quite the contrary really, but for someone who hated relying on anyone else for anything, the thought of spending an indeterminate time lying in some hard-mattressed bed with thin, paper-like sheets and headache-white walls surrounded by machines that go beep and constantly being fussed over by a horde of people in white coats was hardly appealing.
"Very good." Vincent said, "You two, come help, please." he gestured for three of the guards to gather around "One of you come and help me with Valen, the other look after this young lady and see if she needs any help. And the rest of you..." he turned to the remaining guards, "Fan out and search the city for straggling trainers and direct them to Overcity. Is this clear?"
"Yes sir!" the remaining guards replied in rigorously practiced unison, each of them picking a street and jogging down it while Vincent walked over to Valen, carefully slipping under the boy's right arm while the other one took his left and the third man simply stood in Reina's vicinity but didn't dare to approach further out of fear for the Heracross that was keeping watch over the girl.
"Well, let's get going." Vincent said, adjusting his grip so as to put as little pressure on the arm as possible, "The nearest elevator shouldn't be too far, although I think it's best if we don't take the same one as Lori's lot."

OOC: Naughty Alter! You know 4Kids has hidden cameras in everyone's homes, waiting to catch a glimpse of them watching illegal downloads and subs of their shows! Shame on you! ^-^
Actually, they might find you, drag you off to a secret location, and then brainwash you into liking the newer, older Ash that is extremely boring to watch. Watch yourself!! XD
Seriously though, the "newer" Ash isn't as fun to watch. I kinda liked his immaturity. Plus, I don't know, it just seems ridiculous to have Ash act more mature in every area except in the area of the opposite sex. Not that I want to see Ash act like Brock, but an occasional crush or appreciation of girls (or I would even say guys! I'm not picky! XD) would be nice. And normal. o.o Does the boy have no hormones whatsoever??
Anyway... *ahem* onto posting.
Reina
--------------
Tabansi still didn't like this. In fact, the more he heard, the less he liked the situation they were facing. A lockdown of the city? The Heracross wasn't an expert on human behavior, but he was sure that people were not going to behave in their normal fashion. When disasters struck towns, or when the usual way of life was interrupted, it almost always resulted in people getting hurt, panic, and seemed to bring out the best and worst in people.
The bug pokemon's trainer didn't think of such things though, she was more concerned with the here and now, and she was just glad that Lori was leaving. That also meant that JJ and the others would be leaving again, but this didn't bother her too much as she had done fine before without them. She wasn't too happy about having to be looked at by a doctor, she had never liked those guys, but she figured she was in no position to argue. If Valen couldn't sway Vincent's health command, then she certainly wouldn't be able to.
The third guard, that was coming over to her, hesitated. Reina looked down at Tabansi. "Oh, I've got to return you. Come on Tabansi," she said, holding out her pokeball to return him.
{No... I don't think you should Reina, what if something happens to you?} Tabansi said with a concerned tone. Reina shook her head.
"Come on, these guys want to help Tabansi. If you ask me, the bad guys are those robed men. You can come back out if they want to be alone with me, okay?" she said, holding up her pokeball and watching the Heracross' form disappear in a red light.
She turned to the guard, "Uh, I can walk on my own, but I would like someone to look at my hand in the hospital... it's really starting to ache, and I want to make sure I didn't break anything." She walked up to the guard, attempting to look self-sufficient.

JJ Stood in silence as Reina accounted her version of what had happened to Vincent, something was defenitely up.....strange men in robes, he was sure he had seen a couple of them in the area they were waiting earlier before the tournament started.....perhaps they had been waiting for things to die down and the area to clear before making their move on that poor agron. Obviously they didn't expect the company of two young teenagers. Jeffery then listened as Vincent gave an order for cona, avery and himself to head to a pokemon centre while, Reina and Valen were to be taken to a hospital, he had some satisfaction at seeing Valen show negative signs of this, and reluctantly return his pokemon to their pokeballs, a mawile and a cubone..........what was with this guy anyway, what the heck could JJ have possibly done to annoy or insult him so to be deservent of these extremely harsh verbal attacks, before thinking JJ said calmly the first thing to come to his head
''Enjoy hospital valen, it's the best place for you, all tucked up safely, don't worry about a thing, we'll take care of it''
Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to proboke Valen even more, least of all sink down to his level.........but it made him feel so much better.
JJ smiled innocently to Valen, showing his perfect teeth before turning to Vincent wearing a more serious face.
''Thankyou sir, we shall do just that, I for one was planning on staying a few days anyway so your requirement of just one doesn't foul up my plans, I can't speak for Cona and Avery though of course....'' he finished indicating the two girls. So what if he sounded a little like a suck up, during these circumstances it didn't sound like the worst idea in the world if it was going to help them solve this mystery, the main problem was, they didn't even really know exactly what that mystery was........

{Sorry.} The magmar grunted, and dropped Kyoko unceremoniously on to the ground.
"Henna, what are you doing?" Rosairie whined, as her fire type dumped her friend on the floor. "That was really rude!" she hissed incredulously.
The magmar wasn't listening; Silence had returned, and he looked more anxious than usual. "Sileeeeeence!" Rosairie squealed, and threw herself at the jolteon lovingly. She seemed completely oblivious, as usual.
Scratching her head thoughtfully, Henna stared in the direction Silence had just come. {Hmm... Rozz, maybe we should investigate?}
"What?" the girl looked up from her embrace, her gaze quizzical. "Investigate what?"
{Whatever Silence saw around that corner. C'mon...} she muttered, and began to wander off around the corner.
Rosairie stared after her. "What about Kyoko?" her attention turned to the other girl. "Can you walk?" she asked.

{Like, dude. I should really start paying attention to the television. Because, like, that teaches one, such as, like, an old coot like, myself, alotta things.}Kuner scratched his head in fustration upon hearing that his answer was incorrect. One couldn't blame the Flying type, when was the last time he'd manage to even get a glance at one of those electronics anyway?
Cona listened intently to Reina's recount. About robbed men, Steelix and such. It seemed very evil coorporatio-ished to the girl. The robbed men, were they the exact same people she had bumped into before?
Yes. The trainer began to remember. She had met up with their group before, and if they weren't the same people, well. Brown robes were certainly becoming a fashion statement of some sort. Just thinking of what those few men could do made Cona wonder, why was she in this again...?
"Lori, would you be as kind as to take two guards with you and escort these civilians to Overcity?"
At Vincent's words, the girl managed to force herself out of her thoughts this time. They had to stay in the Overcity? She nearly released Krystal from her grip, fact was, the Marshtomp had been there for such a long time. Even with his trainer were to let go, his flippers were already clamped tightly on either side of her.
"Huh? But-...."Cona let out a tired sigh, realising that there was no point fighting. Atleast, not with the lady called Lori or the guards. The trainer was sore from the running about, and her friends were too. That was what she could tell. And JJ's knee...
"Fine. I'm not objecting."she gave in, wanting to fold her arms, only to be stopped in mid-motion by the blue pokemon she had on her.

OOC: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!
THE STUPID COMPUTER DELETED MY WHOLE BLOODY POST!! >___________<
Now I'm going to have to write this all over again...joy...-.-
Ahem, at any rate, there's no need to worry about me, Melissa. We were watching the episode on Arty's computer and didn't download nuthin', if anyone will get hauled of for brainwashing it will be him. xD
Seriously though, I agree. The new Ash sucks...he's such a complete Gary-Stu! Where's his cowardice? His sloth? His childish outbursts? Where's his humanity?! Gone...gone because 4kids wanted to provide the children with a 'good rolemodel'. *Stabbs 4kids* And on his hormones...the guy actually had more of them in his earlier episodes. Remember how he drooled over that picture of Giselle together with Brock and Pikachu in 'School of hard knocks'? You don't see that sort of thing anymore...-.- Incidentally, it would be kind of interesting if Ash's tastes turned out to be...that way. Although knowing 4kids, hell will freeze over before they'll allow anything like that to be aired. <_<
IC:
Valen was about to lash out with something truly obscene at JJ's little show of insolence but then thought the better of it. First off, he didn't want to give that blonde idiot that kind of satisfication, and secondly, he had an ace up his sleeve; namely, the fact that Vincent, the man whom JJ seemed so very intent on sucking up to, was his foster father. And what's more, Valen knew that there were few things Vincent disliked more than suck-ups. So instead of displaying anger or resentment of any kind, Valen put on a strikingly accurate immitation of JJ's smile and responded in the same conformist voice that the boy had used when talking to Vincent;
"Why thank you, JJ." he said, "I would gladly take you there as well had I the means, but failing that, look after my dad in my place, will you?" he cast him a quick smirk at the end of his sentence before returning his expression back to neutral.
"Quite so." Vincent replied to JJ's words, his voice bearing the usual carefully polite tone, although Valen was pretty sure that he sensed a slight build up of annoyance behind it "Well then, of you go."
"That's right, it's about time you came, lovehs." Lori called, already having started out her journey towards the closest elevator "It's not proper to make a lady wait, you know." with that, she turned around again, proceeding to pick up a fairly quick pace.
As Reina withdrew her Heracross, the guard in question became noticably relieved.
"Umm...okay miss." he replied to the girl's statement, taking up a position close to her but not actually making contact and turning his attention to Vincent again.
"Right, let's move out." the security chief said simply, taking up a walking pace which was carefully synchronized with that of the guard holding onto Valen from the other side as their little procession began moving towards another one of the elevators.
OOC: Incidentally, I just recieved word from Kogenta recently and he said that his schedule should be returning to normal now, so hopefully he'll jump back in again soon. Cheers for that! ^0^

OOC: Aw... poor Alter! I really hate it when something like that happens! It happens to my Mom a lot when she goes to post on her soap opera message board. Guh... no one can talk to her without getting snapped at after it happens too. >.> Though, can't say I don't blame her; I get really grumpy too after that happens to me.
*gives Alter cake* CAKE! Quick take it before I decide to eat it myself!! o.o
And yay for Kogenta! Yessir he needs to get his butt back here and post already! ^-^
Reina
---------------
At JJ's outburst, Reina shook her head. She knew the boy would snap sometime, as it was obvious that he and Valen could never seem to get along. She figured their relationship as being something like hers with Rosairie.
The group was now moving to the elevator, and Reina was glad that she would soon be getting something to help her hand out. She wouldn't have admitted that to anyone; but this was just herself she was thinking to. She looked over to Valen as they walked, "Why don't you and JJ just get in a fight already and get it out of your systems? I mean, it's gonna come to that eventually, so might as well get it over with." She was half-joking, but she was also a bit serious. The two were only dragging out the conflict with their weighted words and angry glances.
OOC: GAH! *dies* The shortness!! XD

JJ's smirk was wiped off his face like water from a bucket, he felt like he was about to turn red but put all his mental efforts into making sure this didn't happen, instead he simply replied, putting the smile back onto his face, as if the two were having some sort of smiling contest....
''ahhh, take me to hospital hey, well thankyou for the offer but my knee isn't all that bad, besides, i like to challenge myself and work through even the most immense of injuries, helps one to become strong wouldn't you say....but yes you rest yourself up, and Don't you worry i will do as you request and look after your daddy if neccecary, although i highly doubt that will be neccacary at all, he seems to be perfectly able of looking after himself''
He finished with a final look and a slight bow of the head to valen before aruptly turning and beginning to walk towards the Lori girl near the elevator.
''My apologies miss, for keeping you waiting'' he bowed his head and offered her his arm before waiting for Cona and Avery to join them, he shouted back
''CYA REINA! LOOK AFTER YOURSELF!''
OOC - I'm sorry but i just can;t keep in the excitement. I just had the opening night of the show im doing with th school, huge stage and hall, sweet charity, anyone know it? i play the italian movie star vittorio vida, and have a song called too many tomorrows (Extremely hard, not an overstatement!) i gotr the biggest clap of all! im only 2nd main lead male part lol.

OOC: OMG! Cake! *Takes cake as instructed* Thankies! ^-^ I could really use something right about now...I have an internal assessment for Economics class to do and still haven't found an article for it, and on top of that I've got a cross-lit. analysis to write on The 'Annotated Alice' and 'White Teeth' tommorow, although luckily, we get class time for that. But there's still the Physics too...and a half-done Lit. analysis for Swedish to finish. I swear, school is out to get me. ~_~
Anyways, congrats on your stage success, BB! ^0^ I've never been much for real proper acting myself, although the occassional improvisation is fun...like when we had to do one on the subject of nationality stereotypes for Swedish class. The cast consisted of six people portraying three distinct national identities; Finn, Swede, and Swedish-speaking Finn and the setting was one of those 'Survivor'-type' reality TV shows. I ended up being a Swede, so of course, I had to make passes on the other male actors, propose that we paint our shelter pink, insist on shaking hands with everyone and inviting everyone to come over for coffee some time while at the same time lamenting that I didn't have the proper tool to trim my toenails with. o.O T'was kind of freaky, but a lot of fun too. Ahh...we got plenty of laughter and applause for that one. xD
IC:
Valen looked up at Reina's comment, taking a moment to form his thoughts into words, "Because..." he replied in a purposefully low voice so as to at least keep the two guards from hearing, he knew better than to expect Vincent not to take notice, "...he's not worth it." the boy concluded with an expression of distaste on his face, "I'm afraid I'm not allowed to pummel people merely for insulting me anymore, comes with the territory I guess-and you keep your eyes on the road, tubby." he added sharply to one the more heftily built of the two guardsmen, who had indeed been staring quite openly, no doubt listening in as well, but now quickly turned away and made a big show of not knowing what on earth Valen had been alluding to, "As I was saying..." the boy continued, "That arrogant little prat isn't worth risking my job over, and certainly not worth dirtying my pok?mon with, not even with a regular battle. Quite frankly..." he continued, giving the girl an inquiring look, "How can you stand being around him?"

OOC: Awesome BB! Plays are really fun to do, I've only ever been a part of a "Reader's Theater" play in high school. My friend, the one that Alter reminds of (though I don't know if he'd do something like this), kept teasing me about bringing posters to the showing saying "Go Melissa!" on them and such, and I didn't think she would do it. I was wrong. Sure enough, there in the audience, front row, was my friend with her big sign and a huge grin to go with it. GAH! I had to exert all of my self-control not to laugh my head off right then.
My brother was also in the "It's A Wonderful Life" play in high school too. He had a minor role though, but he did get to feign a punch to the main guy's jaw. That was funny, seeing my brother 'punch' someone out! ^-^
... Are Swedish people stereotyped as gay? XD I wouldn't know, stereotypes seen in America don't usually include countries of Europe beyond England, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia... the rest just sort of meld into something else. It's kinda sad really... most kids probably wouldn't even be able to point out Sweden on a map. XD A labeled map.
Anyway, onto the post.

Reina was sure that this question was about to come at some point in this conversation, so she wasn't too surprised when Valen had asked her why she was so friendly with JJ. She thought for a moment, gathering her ideas into something workable. She then figured that there was really only one reason that she was nice to him. Leaning closer to him so that the guards would have an even harder time hearing them, she half-whispered her response.
"I'm in love with him," she joked, putting on a smile, "No, no, I'm just kidding. You're always so serious about these things I couldn't resist myself. Well, if you must know, I'm nice to him because he was nice to me. He does look like the kind of person that would annoy me, but he's never given me reason too. He's just too darned polite to be mad at. Rosairie... she's something else. She just acts so like those girls I knew back home it makes me hate her automatically. But I don't hate guys who think they're cool and perfect if they're nice to me. I guess...," she paused for a moment, "I guess I just haven't met as many idiots as you have."
She wondered if Valen would consider her a fool now that her answer sounded so silly. She did consider him a friend now, and she didn't want to break a friendship just as she got it. However, if that meant lying about her true feelings she wouldn't do it. People were not one-dimensional, they had good things about them and bad. This was simply a fact of life. Reina was sure that he probably had done worse things in his past than her, or her small friendship with JJ.
My brother was also in the "It's A Wonderful Life" play in high school too. He had a minor role though, but he did get to feign a punch to the main guy's jaw. That was funny, seeing my brother 'punch' someone out! ^-^
... Are Swedish people stereotyped as gay? XD I wouldn't know, stereotypes seen in America don't usually include countries of Europe beyond England, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia... the rest just sort of meld into something else. It's kinda sad really... most kids probably wouldn't even be able to point out Sweden on a map. XD A labeled map.
Anyway, onto the post.

{ooc| I can't post an IC until Mika does. I think she might be ill again, there's no sign of her on MSN....
anyway, it's time for a story about cake.
I love baking. I hadn't baked anything for over a year though so I decided to make a chocolate cake thing for my cousin's birthday. I made it perfectly... I measured everything out exactly, to the very last ounce, and it was lovely.
Then I put it in the oven and it didn't rise. I was so sad! Then I realised the baking powder was two years out of date ;; so I had an anorexic cake.
That was a lovely story.}

[OOC: I hope this post is in the correct context . . .
Also, I attempted to be vague in the results of Chain's reasearch. Hopefully it was not too vague--or not enough so.]
"Project Omicron . . . " Chain murmured as his eyes scanned the screen of the miniature computer that rested in his hand. A project started a number of years ago, funded by WaiWai Inc. Its purpose was to determine the specific capabilities of sonic waves in manipulating certain electromagnetic impulses. The trainer scrolled the screen downward. It seems that there were some problems, however, during research. And, apparently WaiWai Inc. cut the project's funding.
After a thoughtful pause, Chain spoke. "Circuit, any luck opening those locked files?"
A reply appeared on the screen: Affirmative. Would you like to view the unlocked files?
"Yeah. And, good work." As he viewed the various files, Chain's green-gold eyes narrowed. Looks like there was a lot WaiWai Inc. didn't tell the public--or anyone, for that matter. Closing one file to view another, the male continued to read. Odd. This file appears to be of a different nature from the others . . . All it seems to be is a list of monetary income and expenditure. Chain paused. Wait a moment. These numbers don't add up right.
"Hey, Circuit, there's some tests I want you to run on these numbers . . . And, a little research I want you to do." After giving Porygon the specifications of his tasks, Chain carefully read the results of the tests, noting the numbers his Pokemon had highlighted in red. I thought so. WaiWai Inc. has been spending a considerable amount of money on something. But, they don't have listed who or what exactly this money is going to--though it appears they've been making a profit off whatever it is.
Sighing as he ran a hand through his hair, Chain exited the file. I'll have to look at that again later. Right now, I have enough other material to read and decipher. Sorting through the various files--some accidentally downloaded due to Iris' file transfer, others intentionally downloaded and useful, and still others only partially downloaded and therefore incomplete or corrupt--Chain scanned any information that seemed useful. Finally, returning Porygon to its Premier Ball and turning off the computer, Chain stood.
From what I picked up, one of Project Omicron's main problems was that of violent nature being exhibited in many of those used as test subjects. Not only was quite a bit of laboratory equipment destroyed, but several of those involved with the project sustained injuries. Still, though, not everyone was convinced that the violent reactions of the test subjects were accidents. And, one man in particular was under suspicion. Omicron's leader was watched and questioned closely. Yet, after the project was closed, he managed to disappear. To this day no one knows where he went.
Motioning toward Sneasel as he strode toward the alley's entrance, Chain returned his digital equipment to its place at his side. And, as Sneasel sprang to his shoulder and returned to her perch on his head, Chain turned his eyes up toward her. "Since you're up there, keep a sharp eye out," he directed.
Sneasel nodded, her manner mockingly dutiful.
After several minutes, the dark Pokemon alerted her trainer with a sharp "yip" and a breeze of frost on one ear. Swiftly placing his hand over the ear, Chain again glanced toward Sneasel. "What is it?" he asked, suppressing his annoyance.
Without a word, Sneasel simply raised a paw toward one direction.
[OOC: Truthfully, I have little to no idea what Chain will see. If anyone desires to improvise, they are welcome to. Otherwise, I will add it in my next post.]

IC:
"Um... Um yes... yes I think I can walk...." She was a little startled when Henna promptly dropped her to the ground but she managed to get up and stagger around a little bit to prove she very well could walk, "Yes... yes I can walk... See?" She smiled lightly, tottering after Rosairie like a baby chick, "Lead the way Onee-chan! I'll follow you!" She giggled, her color returning quite rapidly, "I'd like to... meet some... more people... as... something here..." her smile evaporated, "Doesn't seem right... Right Silence?" She bent down to stroke the dog-like pokemon's nose softly, "You sense it too... don't you..."
