Pwns
All​

:3 Seriously, it was fun to read. Charon and I were all, 'ZOMB IT'S MAXIE AND MIKA MERGED' which made me giggle. Then my friend, who was reading over my shoulder, said the ebil Vincent sounds like a cross between Sephiroth and Ansem which made me squee. (And I like to squee. :3) Also, Melissa. :3 I like... ACED MY JAPANESE FINAL. :O AND I THINK YOU'RE THE REASON.

Don't ask why. o_o It's just been stuck in my mind
(It must be Melissa! Her collagey goodness is wearing off on me... @_@)

:3 So yeah. ALTER GETS PIE. That's shaped like a Cradily. :3



-IC-

To be honest she had absolutely no idea as to what she was doing, had done and was going to do. She had almost instantly regretting telling Vincent to come later. Big shots like him took their horribly over payed jobs very seriously-almost too seriously. He'd be in here within minutes if she didn't fall asleep, leave or do something like that to get him to suposedly come back later but with her stress levels as high as they were at this current moment, even tho they were self-afflicted, she knew she wasn't going to be doing any sleeping any time soon.

Fustrated, she flopped back down on the pillow, one hand behind her head, the other petting Silence Where do I go from here? How did my ideas disappear on me? It's hard to see with my eyes now... These times, these lies that my brothers told me about... have I been hypnotized...? No... that would be silly Turning on her side, she stared out the window, her hair finally slipping out of their ponytail holders and falling limply against her back.

Kyou-chan... You must be careful to avoid the GP. They have connections you wouldn't even believe existed... Trust me little one... The GP.... They're hard to the core. They won't give you sympathy, empathy... they won't even pity you. Just go home... Don't follow my path, it's not worth it.....Once you go down it... you can never turn back.

Those bloody words had continually rung through her head since she'd woken up in the hospital. As much as she respected the person behind them... she couldn't agree with them. There was nothing back home. Nothing at all. All she wanted was a name somewhere, for some sort of title that would make her stand out; so no one could say she was a waste of time; so when she did return home, her parents would no longer ignore her existance. But going against the GP... was a serious offence. She knew exaclty how bad it would make her look, her sempai had made sure to tell her that much, but was it worth it? She'd already met some nice people, very nice people like Chain and Rosairie and of course there was Silence would could seemingly sense feelings like she could.

Aggrivated more by her own thoughts, she rolled back onto her back, staring up at the cieling. Her gut was telling her to run and to run as fast as she possibly could without looking back but her head was telling her to get somebody's else's opinion. Maybe... Rosairie? She seemed to have a level head on her shoulders... then again... maybe Valen. Of everybody she'd seen, he seemed to have a brain, which sadly couldn't be said about most of the others. Chain... seemed to have something on his mind and Reina... she spat lightly at the mere thought of the girl's name I wouldn't ask that girl for advice if my life depended on it... she's a meanie...

Sitting up, she leaned down, nuzzling Silence softly, "Your trainer must miss you... Si... I know... you can't speak but... what should... what should I do? I don't know... I really don't know..."

But, but, "The power you hold over creatures of venom" reminded me of Maxie. But her powers aren't natural, they're because of her... *car rushes past and blocks out the noise*. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Fang! Also, Mika was all... POWER'd.}

Silence cocked his head and mewed, as Kyoko fretted. Silence's short life had been so full of misery and worrying before Rosairie, fear was an emotion he couldn't stand in others. It made him scared, which made him angry.
And Silence hated to be angry.
It meant loss of control.
It being locked in a dark cage in a dank cellar with nothing but the scent of damp to pass the time.
The jolteon twitched, trying to shake off the bad vibes. He could feel Kyoko's uncertainty, hanging around her like a shadow. Could none of the humans see it? He doubted it. He had passed several humans now, humans whose pain and upset was so prominent he swore he might have been able to touch it, if it had been a solid thing.

He turned his sad eyes to Kyoko, and stood up. He took a few steps forward, so he was sitting directly above the girl's heart. He opened his mouth, as if to mew, but no sound came out.
Follow your heart, not your gut.
 
OOC: *dies* OMG Alter! You're such a good writer! Well, I would post an IC, but my class starts in a few minutes, and I have to get my butt over to the 600 building. So, I'll return with an IC in about 50 minutes! >_<

Oh and YAY FOR MIKA! Nice job aceing the test! You deserve a party. ^-^

BTW, this made me laugh so much Charon:

Priceless... absolutely priceless. ^_____^

EDIT:


Reina
----------------

Walking briskly down the hallway and away from the stuffy and strange X-Ray room she had just been in, Reina suddenly ran into Dr. Kipling. He looked to be on his way to the very room Reina was coming from, and as he made his way to go past her, she stopped him.

"Hey doctor!" she said to him, "Where am I supposed to go anyway?" It was bad enough that she was in a hospital, but to be confused about where to go was worse. She didn't want to accidenly end up in the morgue or someplace even creepier than the room she was just in.

Dr. Kipling whipped around and glanced thoughtfully at her, "Oh, um... the waiting rooms are all taken up now... so...." He put his hand up to his chin in deep thought.

"I'll just go wait with Valen," Reina said irritably, wanting to get going already, "Besides, I want to see how he's doing."

The doctor nodded, it sounded like the best plan, "Right, he's in room 109. That's up this hallway and--."

"Whatever, I'll find it on my own," Reina replied quickly, cutting off the doctor and racing off down the hall. She was already getting enough help from him, and she was quite sure she could figure out the hospital's room numbers herself considering they were posted next to and on each door. She wasn't stupid.

Reina found that the numbering system of the hopital was quite strange at times, placing some rooms inbetween others and not numbering a few of them. The disorganization was making her crazy, but she eventually found her way to Valen's room, with Kyoko's only a room away; she wasn't aware of this yet. She grabbed onto the door's handle and walked into the room, hoping she wasn't interrupting anything; after all, Vincent must have been there already.

OOC: Like nyah, I gave him a little head-biting for ya', Mika. Seriously, his last comment just ticked me off. That guy is N00B with a big, green, capital 'N'. >O

Anyways, thanks on all the nice words about my post y'all. And...pie? *Quickly grabs pie before Mika changes her mind* Mmm...pie...but, it's a Cradily too! A Cradily! Pie...Cradily! Pie...Cradily! Ack, this is what's called a moral dilemma, isn't it? xD

A Sephiroth/Ansem mix, eh? I'm not 100% sure about this, but isn't Ansem the big bad guy from Kingdom Hearts who took control of Riku or something like that? o.O Anyways, yay for the Sephiroth connection. ^^ Sephiroth is still my favourite RPG villain, although Kefka from Final Fantasy 6 comes pretty close. Got to love his manic laughter. xD

Incidentally, would the Ryko RPers who feel guilty about hearing this please post around here? It's not nice to just abandon Plushie's first RP like that, no it's not.

IC:

After what seemed like an eternity of dizziness, nausea, and vague noises, Valen finally found himself aware of the fact that the world had stopped rotating around him and that there was something fairly soft underneath him as well. Pausing briefly before opening his eyes, the boy relaxed a bit as he noticed that the vague noises had been replaced by clear, easily identified sounds as well. The slight rustle of the curtains in the breeze - the window of his room had apparently been left open -, the distant chirping of Tailows in a nearby park, and the constant and strangely comoforting beeps of some peculiar device or the other.

Groaning a bit as he attempted to shake off the memories of his recent nightmare, Valen slowly rose up into a sitting position in the bed, opening his eyes and surveying the room he was in; it was a fairly spartan one, the walls painted in the same headache white as everything else around the building and the furniture, with the exception of his bed, consisting of only a small, slightly brighter white, nightstand located next to him, and a number of unpainted metal devices stacked about the room, some of them going beep for reasons unknown. Right above the door, which was located opposite of his bed, a simple, unadorned clock with a black frame had been hung up, the arms currently indicating that the time was a bit past 6 PM. There was no-one else in the room at the moment, Valen very quickly noted, but before he could contemplate further on what to do next, he noticed the handle turning down, instinctively tensing just a bit as someone proceeded to open the door from the other side.

OOC: Aw, poor Plushie. I shall post in it after my test today. However, I popped in to make a quick IC. ^^


Reina
-----------------

Reina peered into the room at first, seeing if things were okay to come in, and upon seeing nothing going on in the room aside from Valen sitting up, walked in. She thought the boy looked a little shaken, but who wouldn't be in this place? Everything was so... white. She stopped at the side of his bed, looking at him with a small smile, totally unaware of the strange 'dream' that he had just been through.

"At least we're away from Rosairie and her little... friend," she said, "Oh and that doctor guy said he was coming here soon to go over our x-rays. I don't know why, but he annoys me. Then again, there are quite a few people that annoy me I guess." She could think of several from her hometown right off the top of her head. Oh how she would have loved to have won the contest and stick the winnings in their faces. Not that they would care though, all those girls ever cared about were looks and boys.

Reina suddenly realized that Vincent wasn't really around. She didn't think too much on it though, Vincent probably had other things to deal with, there was still a crisis with those robed men that was going on.

OOC: OMG! My math test is coming up! Eep! >.>
 
[OOC: :: sweatdrop :: Sorry for allowing my RP to become somewhat "out-of-control". I was absent for a time . . . ]

As they approached the hospital rooms that housed Valen and Kyoko, Chain fell back a few paces from Rosairie. After hesitantly resting his gaze on Room 110 for several seconds, he finally made a decision. "I'll be back in a moment," he stated shortly.

Giving no further explanation, the trainer turned toward Room 109. Placing his hand on the door, he paused--listening for any indication of what would await him inside. Then, quietly pushing the door open, he cast his eyes swiftly over the room and its inhabitants. No sign of Vincent . . . That's good. Giving a slight nod to Valen and Reina, he asked, "May I come in?"

I like screwing around with different cake ideas. xD My mom bakes, I do the werid stuff.

Thank chu Alter. :3 -hands another fluffy Cradily plushie- Mika <3s people who bites n00bs.



-IC-

"Si... Si I want to..." she whimpered, burrying her face in his fur while wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, "But I can't go home... I can't go home... And if that guy... if he reads the flag on my name..." She trailed off lightly, still clinging as tightly as she could to the pokemon in her lap without hurting it, sitting there as she tried quite valiently not to cry. She was much too young to be forcing this nonsense on herself but, in her mind, she trully had no other choice and the simple thought of that was making her anxious. Silence's gentle snuggle was helping quite a bit... but was also causing a small patch of guilt to form in her mind. She'd just wandered off with Rosairie's pokemon... that certianlly wasn't the nicest thing to do.

Her shuppet however, had taken a liking to Rosairie's head and Kyoko seemingly hadn't noticed which had made the floaty ghost's movement to Rosairie's head/shoulder that much easier. This girl was warm... Warm and caring... Shuppy-chan liked warm and caring... mostly warm but who was really counting?
 
OOC - Pwnt'ing rp post titan :P. i would compliment it further but i said all i need to in the PM i sent you ;)
i want to make a post....but i have to wait for plushie and yibber, teehee.
 
{ooc| *dies* I've got an exam.. tomorrow...MUST REVISE! I'll post here quickly, then maybe in MW in a few hours. Gaaaah.}

Rosairie twitched, as the shuppet landed on her head and shoulders. For a moment she barely noticing the swirling, bobbing pokemon on her shoulder - until se caught sight of her reflection in the mirror, and spotted Shuppy's etheral form floating just above her.
"Nyaah!" she yelped in surprise, and side-stepped away from the ghsot type. For a moment she stared at it in fright, expecting assassination, or kidnapping, or worse, but eventually her mind clicked. This was Kyoko's Shuppet.
"Oh, why hello!" she began, before stopping and cocking her head. "Can you help me find your trainer? I think she's got my jolteon..."

Silence didn't move. He was quite sued to being cuddled, but he was relatively surprised kyoko hadn't let go yet. After all, his spikes were paticularily lethal.
 
OOC: Yaaay! Second Cradily plushie! ^0^ But yeah, Mutation Wave is starting to get kind of messy and confusing. I mean, one of those people already claims to be fighting in the tournament while the rest are waiting for it to begin? WTF? o.O It's not your fault that people don't bother to read a friggen' thing before they write and post clueless stuff, Kogenta, unless you count accepting them as being your fault, but that's a bit of a stretch.

IC:

Valen relaxed again as he noticed that it was Reina out of all people who had chosen to enter his room, but still, he couldn't help repeating the dream appartition's words in his mind; "She might tolerate you right now...but do you think she'll give you another glance once she discovers the truth?" Although he did his best to conceal these thoughts behind his usual neutral expression, the boy was still considerably troubled by them. They held merit, a point. A very good point, actually. Granted, there seemed to be some similarities between his and Reina's backgrounds, but there was also one crucial difference; he had joined Team Viper, she hadn't, he was a thief, she wasn't. And this difference alone was enough to turn the tables on him. But what am I supposed to do then?, he wondered as he listened to the girl's words, Hide the truth from her? Lie? he knew he would have hated to find out that Reina had been doing such had their positions been reversed. She had finished speaking now, Valen noted, he'd have to speak up soon or it would be altogether too suspicious. With that, he pushed aside the dilemma, deciding that he'd just shift subjects if it did come up and turning his full attention to formulating a reply instead;

"Yeah, I guess we are." he replied to the comment concerning Rosairie, managing a slight softening of his expression which was practically his version of a smile, "As for the whitecoat..." he shrugged, "I think it's part of their job description to be annoying, although I can't really say one thing or the other about this one for obvious reasons." he was about to continue when he suddenly heard the door creak slightly once again, turning his gaze towards it just in time to spot the boy from before entering the room and asking if he could come in. Valen's manner instinctively became a bit more defensive again; this boy was a stranger, and even though he had done nothing to make Valen hate him just yet, it didn't mean that he was about to trust or like him now, was it?

"What for?" he asked, giving the boy a closer look.

OOC: Aww, poor Valen! I'm glad I don't have to make such decisions in my daily life. XD

And yeah about Mutation Wave... I thought the tournament hadn't started yet! o.o I just ignored the battle and kept going down the road we had already started. *shrug*


Reina
---------------

The girl nodded to Valen's response, she had forgotten that he was out of it for a good deal of the time. Doctors were always the same though; pompous, annoying, and ignorant of what people need aside from medicine, they never seemed able to understand anyone's feelings. Reina hadn't had good experiences with them, some of which she would have shared, but suddenly there was someone at the door.

It was Chain, and he was wondering if he could come in. Well, at least he had the sense to ask, considering this was Valen's room, and the two didn't know each other at all as far as Reina knew.

As Valen responded to the boy, Reina felt guilty again about keeping Rosairie's secret. It wasn't that big of a deal, was it? She hadn't really done much, right? Reina kept trying to tell herself this; she really did hate keeping secrets, and she felt like such a hypocrite for agreeing to it. She should have just told him right off. Things would have been out in the open, and this nagging conscience would have never been eating away at her. What on earth possessed her to agree with Rosairie in the first place?! She could have kicked herself for doing that.

Why did it matter to her though? Why was it so important to keep Valen's trust? She hadn't known him that long; he wasn't some old friend. She wouldn't have cared if he were Chain, or Rosairie, or any of those kids back home, she would have just come out with it already. Was it because she really didn't have any friends? Well, the boys back home were alright... but they weren't friends with her, they didn't pay attention to her unless she made them. There were her pokemon, but they were different, they weren't humans. Needing a friend was a plausable reason for feeling so bad about keeping the secret. But was she really so desparate for a friend?

She wished that Chain would hurry up and speak already, too much thinking made Reina nervous and she really wasn't too good at covering things up. Luckily Valen's attention was on Chain right now and not her, otherwise she would have only made matters worse.
 
[OOC: ^-^;; Technically, the tournament has not started . . . However, I will begin the elimination rounds soon.]

Though Valen and Reina both appeared rather uncomfortable, Chain's manner remained calm and steady as he quietly replied, "It's about the incidents earlier. I . . . " He paused. How much information should I give them? I don't know how trustworthy these two--or anyone around here--are. Still, though . . . If I want to get any information, I should probably give a little, too.

Finally resuming his statement, Chain continued, ". . . I found out something interesting. But, I'm still not completely sure of the relationship between my discovery and the incidents. I was hoping I could ask you two a few questions." After casting a brief, wary glance over his shoulder into the hall, he then returned his gaze to the inhabitants of the room, adding, "If not, it's alright."
 
-OoC-

>.> How about we eliminate those n00blets? -pats Peacekeeper- >3

>.> I'm REALLY tempted to upload the song Scramble! - Yui Horie. xD It's catchy as heck and it's all, "WOSH" and guru guru and Yui Horie's voice is just so gorgeous.... It's so cute and angelic. <33333 Her song Aosusuki (From Samurai Deeper Kyo, Yuya's image song if anybody's familiar with the series) is Kyoko's character song. -nodnod- I was super bored and gave my chars theme songs! (Having over 2000 music files can also do that to a person. xD)

X3 if anybody has a song they'd like for their chars, I can try an find eet and then upload it, I'm getting my own web server in a few weeks (Hopefully!)

AND LANCE IS LIKE, MY AVIE. -drools- He may be an idiot... but he's a HAWT idiot...



-IC-

Shuppy giggle lightly, <She's just o'er thar. And your head is warm. n_n> She giggled again, settling down on Rosairie's shoulder while letting her transparent fabric-like air settle around the girl's neck like a shawl, the ghost becoming quite comfortable where she was and seemling was having second thoughts about eventually moving. Her eyes flickered lightly towards the child's room door, <She's in their... Um... Onee-san? Can you please talk her outta runnin? I know my trainer... she won't stay here if her name's gunna get checked out... and the poor thing... honestly, she can't keep running, she hasn't got the body for it. Travelling to gyms is one thing but the stress of being on the run... she doens't know how ta handle it, you know?>



She sighed, withdrawing lightly, "Si... Arigato.... Domo.... Arigato gozaimasu... I really... really needed that." She blushed lightly, tucking her legs polietly underneathe her bum, "You can... go back to your trainer." She rubbed the back of her neck softly, "I shouldn't of asked you to come with me." Rumbling around in her pack which was still quite attached to her side, she pulled out a small notebook that was obviously not new and began to write something into a spare page about halfway through the book, "But feel... free to stay if you want. I just don't want you to get in trouble because of me."
 
OOc-

Like, yeah sorry for the lack of posting.>_>;;
Just been tired these few days.-_-


Ic-

"What?! We can't split up. The evil corporations will slowly pick us off, one by one until we're all gone. We've got to stick together just incase anything bad happens. Besides, I'd rather get something to eat right now...Or follow you to get your...whatever fixed! Yeah!"Cona nodded at the end of her sentence, she hated being left alone. Usually she had her Pokemon. But now...

"Anyway, how do you know that we'll manage to get a room with so many trainers. Not to mention the fact that we might not be staying here since we'll all be probably somewhere else by tonight. Which isn't very far away mind both of you."she added franticly, taking the white sailor hat off her head and starting to hug it. There wasn't any other thing she could do now till' both replied.

I second that motion. *Pats red herring* Seriously, if the posting doesn't switch to 4+ lines soon then I'll have no choice but to quit, because as it is, every time I take a look at the RP my mood immediately goes bad when I find X amount of crappy posts. How on earth can anyone only write two lines and still repeat himself in said post?! >.< Posts like that make me want to stab someone, and I don't want to feel like that on a daily basis. <_<

And yeah, poor Valen, I'd really hate to be in his shoes. xD

IC:

"Questions?" Valen echoed, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly in suspicion. He might not have known who this person was or what he was about, but in the boy's experience, anyone who 'just wanted to ask some questions' knew far more than they were letting on, and Valen hated being kept in the dark. But at the same time, the boy came to think of something else; What if... he thought for himself, What if this thing he is onto concerns the team? What...if ti concerns me? That probably wasn't the case, but all the same, Valen found the prospect of knowing something his precious employers didn't intriguing.

"Allright then." he replied at last, nodding to Chain, "You can ask your questions, but I'll only reply if I feel like it. No promises." he fell silent again, waiting for the boy's response.

EDITNESS OOC: Incidentally BB, thy PM box needs cleaning.

OOC: I'm still shaking from the adrenaline pumping through my body... >.< I just got through giving a speech about Manatees in my public speaking class. They rock you know. Just thought I should say that.

Random Manatee Pictures 1 2 3!!!! I love those huggable sirenians. ^-^

I got an A on it too! My teacher said I took an interesting approach to it. I quite frankly couldn't imagine me doing it another way. I basically went in this order: What are manatees? Why are they endangered? What is being done to help them? *shrug* I guess it was different? Oh well, who cares; I got an A man! The other two presenters today had topics of: Autism in children, and the gap in men and women's pay. I thought manatees were much more exciting. But I also think that turkeys and snails are cute.

Anyway!! IC time!


Reina
------------------

Reina wasn't really sure what to say to Chain, Valen had already summed it up pretty much. While she wasn't as critical of the boy as Valen was, she was a bit suspicious about these questions he wanted to ask. They probably had to do with what happened earlier that day, but why did he want to know anything? He must've known something himself, something that didn't make sense and so to put the puzzle together he needed to gain more information.

"Hey," Reina said, noticing some slightly cushiony gray chairs a few feet away from the bed, "There's some chairs if you want to sit down. And I'd make your questions quick, the doctor's supposed to be coming back soon, and from the looks of things I doubt you want him to hear all of this."

Even though it was her suggestion, Reina remained standing by the side of Valen's bed; she didn't feel like sitting down even though she was quite tired.
 
{ooc| yeah... I agree with Mika an' Alter. But... I really like Eve ;;
Btw, I now have a milotic. Yey. I took yer advice and used Kelpsy berries, and all went smoothly.
Yay! Melissa! I'm glad more people like Manatees! I saw some at see world in florida, I was very impressed.
Anyway... I have a maths test on Monday... argh... I'm failing so badly. I really gotta put more effort into my studies and not into my sister's DS. xP}

Rosairie petted Shuppy. She could almost see why Kyoko liked him; he might be dead and creepy, but he was also very cuddly. "Don't worry," Rosairie told him shakily, "I'll make her stick around."
Rosairie glanced at the door, and tugged at her skirt self-conciously. It felt slightly too short to be wearing in a hospital. She pushed open the door, and stepped into Valen's room.
She blinked, expecting to see Kyoko in the bed, only to see her dreaded foe there instead. She laughed to herself. "Wrong room, sorry." she said, and bobbed a half-curtsey in apology. She slipped out of the room, before Reina or Valen could see how shaken she was. After all, Kyoko had practically died and Silence... Silence had left her side. It had left her feeling almost...weak.
She padded next door.

Silence leapt off Kyoko and trotted to the doorway. Here he stood, ears twitching, listening to the familar sound of Rosairie's boot son the hard floor. As she opened the door, he gave a slight smile. The jolteon rubbed his head against his trainer's leg, before jumping on the bedside table. He watched Kyoko with his big empty eyes, as Rosairie sat down in the chair opposite.
"Hello." she whispered.
 
[OOC: ::sweatdrop:: Everyone needs to start their roleplaying from somewhere . . . I will give a reminder to those in Mutation Wave, though.]

Cautiously entering, Chain gently closed the door behind him, though his eyes remained on Valen and Reina. "Alright," he agreed, in reply to Valen's statement. Then, stepping forward, he glanced at Reina, adding, "I'm afraid I must decline the seat. I'll only be here for a moment."

Suddenly falling silent as Rosairie entered, Chain almost bit his lip in an effort to prevent himself from speaking. For the moment, I'm not ready to tell her or Kyoko anything . . . not yet. As Rosairie hurriedly exited, the trainer felt himself relax slightly--though not visibly.

After a pause and a slight breath, Chain spoke. Though his manner seemed entirely collected and calm, his mind raced through the information it had gained while calculating how much it would release and in what manner it would be given. "I'll start by telling you what I know. But, I also ask that you tell me if any of this somehow seems familiar. You two saw and experienced more of this incident than I did. From what I did see, though . . . Well, somehow, it brought to mind a rumor I once heard while working with my father in his laboratory. *He was Pokemon scientist, and several of his aides mentioned a project funded by WaiWai Inc. known as "Project Omicron." I don't know the details. But, I do know that WaiWai Inc. cut the funding due to a lack of profitable output."

Here, Chain's voice dropped a level. "Also, apparently there were a number of injuries involved with Omicron--and not everyone believed the events surrounding these injuries were accidental." A strange light entered Chain's green-gold eyes as he turned his gaze toward the window that substituted a large part of one of the room's walls. "You see, Project Omicron was intended to 'determine the specific capabilities of sonic waves in manipulating certain electromagnetic impulses'. In other words, they used sound to control their test subjects' behavior by altering the electricity in their nervous systems--namely, their brains."

Suddenly snapping his gaze toward Valen and Reina, Chain continued--his voice level and unbroken, "When you were fighting the wild Pokemon, did you hear anything unusual?"

[OOC: * - Chain's father actually was a Pokemon scientist. It is from his father that Chain received his Porygon.]

She blinked, looking up lightly from her scribblings to see Rosairie walk in. Quickly, she reached for her pack, scrambling to put the notebook in the only pocket of her pack that was actually locked and spin the dial on the stupid thing before Rosairie noticed anything. She managed to barely complete this task as Silence's innocent distraction at the door had caused the older girl to look down for a few more seconds that she originally would have. Sitting forward as if she'd simply been sitting the entire time, she smiled softly, tilting her head as she did so in a very polite mannor, "Hello." Rubbing the back of her neck lightly, she lowered her gaze from Rosairie's, "You.... want answers... don't you?"

Shuppy yawned, switching from Rosairie's head to Kyoko's, nuzzling into the girl's long hair like it was a blanket, <Kyo-chan, you should skip the formalities... That WaiWai Wacko'll be here soon, those fatso money grubbers can't stay away from something that might make them rich for very long.> She yawned lightly and settled down for good, blinking lightly at Rosairie.

Kyoko blushed embarassedly, "I-I-I know...!" She gently bonked her pokemon on the head, "And you don't know who could be listening! Don't SAY things like that!"

<I'll say what I wanna say.>

"Shuppy!"

<...Fine...>

She sighed, turning back to Rosairie with her face a flame, "W-w-well... To... start things off... I'm not...well... I'm... not a stupid brat... okay?" She blinked lightly, batting away the obnoxious tears that were beginning to reform in the corners of her eyes, "...I... ran away from my home... because I couldn't take it anymore... I couldn't take being... like that anymore..."

<Word of wisdom Kyoko, she has no idea what you're talking about.>

"I know that!" She spat lightly at her pokemon, her face reddening further, "I... ran away... because I was... tired of getting picked on. Tried of being told I wasn't going to be good at anything because my idiot Nii-san was so darn great. I was tired... of getting hit in town and then when I told my parents, he told me that because I didn't fight back I deserved it... I was tired of it... So I left." She swallowed hard. Very. hard. "But I told my mom. She said she'd give me as much of a head start as she could... but... she told me not to expect much. My running away... was bad for the Gym. People in the city were saying that since I'd run away, my dad wasn't fit to lead the Gym because he didn't care about his family.... so... he put a flag on my name. With a reward." Her eyes flashed lightly, "If I tell that WaiWai Guy my last name, he'll find the flag and it states that he's REQUIRED to report it to the Global Police because I'm from Johto... and this isn't really Johto now is it?" She sighed heavily, her body trembling like a twig about to snap off a tree due to a wind gust, "GP.... they're so scary... And... all I want... is to stay here... And compete. But... if I don't high-tail it out of here... I'll get sent back..." Her fingers clenched into a fist, "Nee-chan... I... can't go back home."
 
OOC: Yeah!! Manatee lovers unite!!! >=)

Yeah, Kogenta's got a point, everyone has to start out and make mistakes. Unfortunately, the problem arises when newcomers don't listen to your advice. When I was a newbie to roleplaying, and message boards in general, and I made a mistake, I was happy to take advice and follow the rules. Some people just can't do it... and it's annoying.

Anyway, onto the IC!


Reina
---------------

Reina's thoughts on the secret she had been keeping resurfaced again as Rosairie popped her head through the door. For one wild moment Reina thought the girl was going to come in to 'check up' on her 'patient', but she left quickly, making a hasty apology.

'Ugh... she should be apologizing for asking me to keep her lame secret,' Reina thought bitterly. She pushed her thoughts aside though, for Chain was about to speak, and she needed to give her undivided attention to him. He began by talking about his father, how he had been a scientist on some project funded by Wai Wai. Reina listened silently, keeping her mind ready for a part that related to her in some way. Chain went on, talking about the project and how it was designed to control some sort of electric something or other. When he clarified what he had said as being basically sound-induced mind manipulation, Reina found herself picturing those robed men chanting, and the pokemon going crazy.

She didn't say anything though, she remained perfectly neutral in appearance, trying not to show that she knew anything. It was a bit difficult, as she wanted to know more about these guys that spouted out garbage about that Typhoeus person and such, but she managed it alright.

Plus, she was waiting for Valen to answer. He was more experienced, at least he seemed that way, at knowing how much to tell people and how much to reveal. She didn't know Chain that well, for all she knew he could be an ally of the robed people trying to find out how much they knew to tell the enemy.

She glanced at Valen with a look that plainly said, 'say what you want to, I trust you know what to do in this matter.'
