(Special note: This thread will be the home base that everyone returns to after missions, basically its your hub)
Far off on one of the many still uncharted isles that dot the seas of the world sits a small town set against a cliff face. The inhabitants range from many different regions around the world, having made their home here for various reasons. Their lives move along normally each day, that is until a small watch that each citizen wears rings out in alarm. At this moment they rush to a secret space in their homes and enter the true face of the isle. Hidden within the isle is the base of the internationally renowned Team Rocket. Labs, training areas, a cafeteria, the entire organizational head sits here hidden from the world. At this moment new and experianced recruits have been gathered in the auditorium to hear the latest sorties that are available.

Maya sat with her back to the wall, humming a tune with a calm and cheerful expression on her face. She looked like she would be more at home at a Pokemon Center than a Team Rocket base...if not for the high-tech rifle in her lap. The presence of the obviously lethal weapon inverted the image into something rather disturbing, as Maya cleaned her laser rifle with all the TLC of a nurse taking care of a sick Eevee.

Post by Star / Kamille on Oct 16, 2018 22:53:19 GMT
Kamille lounged within the Auditorium, looking for all intents and purposes as a princess on a throne. Dressed in a clinging white dress with a long red jacket showed off her figure, and a red ribbon kept her hair pulled back in a controlled ponytail. Belts adorned with a handful of pokeballs clung to shapely hips, and a playful smile upon ruby lips as she took in the peons around her. Kamille was content to wait and that was obvious, as if she had all the time in the world.
Albeit... that might have had to do with the fact her 'throne' had an arm around her. Perched in the lap of her partner she was cuddled up and seemed rather unmindful of the others around them. She took the time to glance once more at the stage before shifting just enough to lean her body, a good foot or so smaller then Adriana's, against her companion's larger frame.
"Well.... all things considered, this could be worse. I do wish they served wine and finger foods though if they're going to make us sit around, don't you think my love? If they're trying to show off, they're not doing a very good job so far. "

Liam barely looked up from his 3DS, grinding away levels in his favorite RPG, Pokesona. His companion, Braixen, had gotten used to having to guide him by the hand to safety, otherwise, the boy tended to constantly knock into every pillar in the room. Even ones in the complete opposite direction he was heading, he'd always find a way. Soon Braixen found himself a seat near Kamille, if for no other reason than because braixen was entranced by her natural beauty, and wanted to get a closer look.
But Liam was far too focused on his game to pay much attention to anything. By the time he lifted his head up to look about, he realized he wasn't quite sure where he was. He looked over to Kamille, lazy unenthused cat eyes and all, and could barely be heard asking her a question
"Excuse me, this is team rocket right?"

Jazz walked into the auditorium at a lazy pace, earbuds in her ears, music from her 'acquired' music player safely nestled in her cleavage giving her suitable entertainment and helping her image of not paying attention even as she scanned the crowd behind her sunglasses. Immediately her gut instinct directed her away from the princess looking one and her ripped probably spouse.
It probably wasn't a good sign that the one lovingly tending to a rifle was probably the safer person but she'd deal. Or Rhodi would if problems happened, she'd probably like eating a gun. And besides, the rifle was keeping everyone else away so far which meant there had the most space. Yep, worth the trouble.
That thought done, she made her way over to that side of the wall, leaning against it close enough for conversation but not too close; no getting on the bad side of the person with the gun, it was unhealthy and she rather didn't like being shot at.

Adriana looked quite content, like a sleeping lion as she rested her head into the hair of her princess. The scent was always so pleasant, besides it was nicer than waiting for this whole boring thing to start. She was clad in her usual attire of jeans, t-shirt, boots and jacket, her own pokeballs tucked away into the inner pocket of her jacket. She murred a little as she felt Kamille shift in her lap, shifting to nibble on the woman's ear softly as she opened her eyes lazily. "I was enjoying napping in the sun, if they were going to make us wait they should have called us closer to when things were going to start," She said in a slight accent.
Chuckling a little at her partner's comment, she nodded, "I'd settle for cold beer and nachos, but I ain't got your refined tastes Princess." The larger woman happily wrapped both her arms around Kamille, holding and snuggling her tightly. For as scary as she might look, Adriana seemed rather pacified in the presence of her lover. Which was true, since nothing was pissing her off directly. Though as the small young man came up to them with his Braixen, she smirked, "Nah, this ain't no Team Rocket. This is fight club mate, and if it's your first night you gotta get bloody." There was a teasing tone in her voice and grin on her face as she chuckled.

Liam blinks, then gets up and grabs Braixen's hand
"Sorry, I think I'm at the wrong place"
Liam then starts to leave, never to return again

On Liam's way out he bumps into a man wearing a business suit. A large red R emblazoned on his tie, "recruit where do you think you're going, the briefing is just starting." He spouts looking down at the youngster (comparatively to himself), the man looks around the area before pointing, "Go take a seat and prepare for the briefing."

Liam cocks a brow but returns to his seat next to the two ladies. He taps the shoulder of the buff one.
"Excuse me, but I think you're in the wrong place. This is the team rocket recruiting center. The big guy just told me so"

Maya finished cleaning her rifle and held it up for inspection. Satisfied with what she sees, she happy begins to rub her cheek up against it.
"Eheheh...I can't possibly fail with you by my side, can I, Lawrence?" She says to it, in the sort of tone a doting parent would use to brag about their beloved child.
"And now, it's Patricia's turn~" She says cheerfully, setting 'Lawrence' aside and reaching for a Pokeball cannon laying on the ground next to her, only to stop when she hears footsteps approaching her position. She looks up just in time to see a dark skinned girl walk over to an empty part of the wall a short distance away. Smiling to herself, she picks up 'Patricia' and starts to clean it.
"You know, I'm not the type to shoot someone just for standing to close." She says in a teasing tone, not looking up from her work.

Dante sat at the front of the auditorium, in the first seat off of the aisle. He didn't mind waiting for the briefing to start; he was keeping himself busy while the other recruits talked. In his lap was his Porygon, the strongest of the Pokemon he currently had. At the moment, it was writhing uncomfortably, two electrodes connected to its rounded beak and tail sending an electrical current through its digital body. The process would increase the amount of power it was able to use, at the cost of some minor damage to the Pokemon's circuits.
Dante begins applying brutal training to Porygon.

Kamille finally drew her soft red eyes away from the beautiful face of her Adriana, glancing to the side at Liam. Her lovely smile seemed to shift to a slight scowl, as she raised her eye with an imperious glance at the young man bothering her and Adriana. Seriously, didn't he know anything?
"Of course he did, fight clubs are illegal and even being at one is cause for immediate dismissal of ones trainer's license as well as a felony. Where as attending a Team Rocket interview is just intent and the police can barely slap you with a fine. You're already in too deep young man, they're not going to let you leave. I sincerely hope you're here with the credentials as a fighter's manager like I am, because this is a no-Pokemon allowed fight club. And I do not envy you going toe to toe with fighters like my Adriana."
She gave a soft sigh looking on him once more with a soft tsking, and gave him what looked like a concerned smile. "Don't worry, she hasn't killed anyone yet. And they'll dump your body in a hospital afterwards..... most likely."

Liam looked about at the variety of bodies, and has to admit, he isn't optimistic about his chances of winning as a figher. His best bet would be to obtain credentials like this super nice and helpful lady he was talking to
"What are the manager's credentials? A piece of paper? A medallion of some sort?"

Given how the woman looked like she might need a room alone with her weapons, Jazz was going to happily keep herself in position to dodge. Hmm, but then it would probably be better to be too close to level something with that long a barrel at her properly. ….
“I just thought that you and your dears could do with a bit of space.” Mostly because she was treating those weapons like Jazz treated money. She did at least take a few steps closer - keeping distance now would just be rude.

"Nah, it's fine...These guys might be my only friends, but I could always use a human one..." Maya says with a slightly depressed tone, before perking right back up. "And on that note, the name's Maya Hidalgo! Nice to meet you!"

"Nah, come on this ain't legit like some boxing ring. You want to show you're manager material you got to prove it to the organizers. Show you got skills that managers need, like my Princess here is a full fledged doctor, makes her super useful. Less dead people to cause problems," Adriana said, not honestly sure if this guy was serious or not. Like, they were on an island pretty much owned by Team Rocket as far as she'd been able to tell. You only got to come here if they wanted you here. Shifting to nibble on Kamille's ear idly, she watched Liam curiously, still unsure whether he was just this gullible or if he was pretending to make himself seem weaker than he was.

Uri sat near the front row passing the time by quietly checking over the augments he'd applied to his Starter Alba. He'd recently managed to convert a large amount of the plucky fighting type into his masterpiece cybernetics. There were a few minor modifications he had to do and he was going to be damned if this meeting would stop him. As he reached for his tool belt he realized that he hadn't actually managed to put it on in his haste to get down here. Cursing he looked around, in the row in front of him Uri saw someone messing with a Porygon. Hope soared, maybe he'd have some tools. Leaning forward Uri tried to get his attention.
"Oi, you don't happen to have a number five spanner on you eh?"

Liam's eyes twinkled with anticipation . . . though the rest of his expression remained emotionless
"I can be manager. I'm not a fighter, but I manage fighters all the time. See? This is Pokesona on N+++ Legendary difficulty. I could be an amazing manager"
Liam shows off his 3DS to show off his heavily min maxed team of high schoolers. It seems his strategy revolves around letting other units die to protect one particular female in a short skirt, who is one shotting whole bosses with one single ranged attack.

"Hmmm? Dante intoned, turning from his work to see who addressed him. He was surprised to find a man, and a Pokemon to match, with a significant amount of prosthetic body parts. "Oh, no, sorry," the Porygon2's trainer answered. "My kit's pretty specialised, and Porygon is the only Pokemon I have that needs this kind of treatment." He looked over the other man's Gurdurr, examining the modified Pokemon. "Out of curiosity, what do all of those attachments do?" He wasn't sure, but he thought the level of augmentation seemed beyond repairing some old injury.

Kamille raised an eyebrow and let out a put upon sigh but humored the boy, her cheeks flushed at Adriana's nibbling on her ear. Leaning forward carefully she bit her own lower lip and politely humored Liam before she paused and without warning plucked his 3DS from his hands so she could bring it close to her face and consider it carefully. "Oooo. I approve. What do you think Adriana, I bet I could put an outfit like that together for you tonight. Albeit the skirt is kind of long for me if I'm dressing up."
Kamille absently dangles the 3ds out and drops it uncaringly, thankfully into Liam's hands. Only of course after Adriana gets a look at the positively skimpy rpg costume his character is wearing, and there's no doubt based on tone just what Kamille means about dressing up for Adriana.
"Albeit maybe the kid should join after all, if he's into games that.... mature, he's obviously fucked in the head. Or wishes he was, poor little perv."
