Greg had mostly forgot about the knock as leaned across the couch as he looked up at the ceiling, only to hear the door suddenly open. Greg raised his head over the couch to see that girl from earlier, smiling as he gave her a quick wave. "Oh, hey there Trista dude, how's it hanging?" Greg said as he sat up, looking around the room with the girl's question. "Umm, unless anyone is in their room or, like, hiding around the corner, it's just us."

"Ah, good," Trista said as she stepped in, shutting the door behind her. Resisting the urge to lock it behind her and ensure their privacy, she merely scurried into a seat across from Greg before continuing, "Its- I'm, wait hanging? Umm. Good?"
Considering Greg had been in here (probably) since they had been dismissed from classes, it was unlikely that anyone had snuck in without him knowing. One would hope. So, did that make it a good thing that he had left before the mission was concluded? Realizing she was only succeeding in confusing herself further, Trista (re)starts simply: "Good news, the mission was a success. Not only did we complete it, but it seems nobody caught wind of what we were doing." That was the important bit delivered, and letting her attention wander around the room she continued, "Vess... Vess-dude? Hmph! Right. Once your dorm-mate is finished with his club, Vess has something important to show us. And then..." Gaze returning to the rather blase boy on the couch, she concluded, "Our mysterious friend wants to see us after curfew."
While they had privacy, it was important to get all the important information. There was no telling when someone might wander in, and then-!
Actually, how would she explain being here? As she thought on that hypothetical, her serious expression turned to a faint frown, not quite as focused on Greg as before.

"Alright, good is cool, that's cool." Greg said in response to Trista's answer, leaning back in his seat as he got comfortable once more. "There's some drinks in the fridge and some food too if the cafeteria didn't fill ya up." The fisherman said in a very casual tone, not seeming to mind or care that a girl was in the boys dorms. It didn't even occur to Greg that Trista might have come here to talk to someone about something, and he took her sitting down as her just being here, and Greg was more than happy to hang out with this chick. She seemed cool, if a bit quiet.
Unfortunately for Greg he soon found Trista talking about the whole agent stuff again, the young man's face growing long and somewhat annoyed while she talked as he let out a soft sigh. "Right, umm, cool that you dudes managed to do it all sneaky like, and umm, I guess I'll be there to meet whoever after dorm-mate dude is done with his club stuff." Greg said, smiling a bit as the initial wave of secret agent responsibilities anxiety escaped him.
"Umm, where are we meeting up at, exactly?" Greg asked of Trista, not noticing her lack of focus.

"Very good. I don't think they'd like it if we missed them... I-its a funny th- I don't know. They, ah, never quite said, just 'after curfew'...", Trista answered.
Not particularly hungry, and definitely not inclined to prowl the dorm with a witness, she added, "Err, thank you for the offer, but I couldn't impose." At least, no more than simply being there. Still, Greg didn't mind, so was that permission enough? Speaking of the boy, what did she actually know about her fellow agent?
...well, that might be something to correct before their meeting, later? Trying to mirror Greg's easy smile, Trista asked, still quite alert in her seat, "...s-so. I've, spoken to V- well, all the others... Except you. Outside class, I mean. That doesn't count. So, was wondering, umm. D-did you have any interests before coming to Olmia?" Something about the question besides who was asking, who was being asked, and where it was taking place bothered her, but she couldn't put a finger on what...

Greg simply shrugged at Trista’s answer. “After curfew, eh? Guess that means we’re sneaking out, hopefully we don’t get caught, heh…”
Greg settled in a bit, watching Maria bounce around as he didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to the girl sitting next to him. He didn’t seem to notice her more alert posture and general awkwardness of her speech pattern.
“What’d I do outside of school? Hmm…” Greg said in response to Trista’s inquires, rubbing his chin as he thought. “Well, I mostly fished and, like, relaxed, and stuff. Didn’t do much to be honest, but that’s always the way I lived my life. I’m from Petram, and there’s never been much to do out there, so I made due.” He turned the face the question girl, a bit curious himself as to the girl’s origins. “Umm, what did you do before coming here? You seem like a cool enough chick, I’m sure you, like, lived in a more interesting place than me, heh.”

Turning away as he faced her in turn, Trista said, "Alium. Not all that cool... Well, almost as cold as Olmia. Heh...? S-sorry. I, actually can't claim much different, I guess. Well, not so much the fishing, or the relaxing where was I going with this, again? Guess you could say I liked exploring the area? Not that I'm much of an explorer, mind..."
Unsure in the extreme over where to carry the conversation next, she continued with a confident, "We shouldn't get caught. No sense in calling a group meeting if the group can't actually meet up safely. Besides, it sounded like an important thing..." and then remembered her reason for being there at all. "Oh, right. I think, it would be a good idea to trade Pokedex numbers. They're, uh, sort of handy for communication. Especially if we don't know where to find someone. So... Sound good?" That part was spoken with far less certainty, but it was either now or at wherever Vess was taking them. And it worked as a distraction now.

Greg blinked with Trista's mention of Pokedexs. "Oh, right, that thing. Probably a good idea, yeah, here..." The boy said as he rummaged around his pocket, pulling out a somewhat dented Pokedex as he turned it on and flipped though all the options. "Now where was that thing..." Greg said as he took quite a while to find his number, eventually reading it out to Trista.
"Yeah, hopefully all this works out and we don't, like, get caught doing anything. We could get into some pretty hot water if anyone figured out what we were doing, heh." Greg remarked with a very awkward giggle, his nerves regarding Trinity showing though as he slipped away his Pokedex. Greg turned to look at Maria, his face growing long as he sighed. "They'd even take away our Pokemon, geez..."

Wait, what's he doing? Oh, r-right now? Gah, I don't even-! And other such complaints went unvoiced as Trista went from watching the boy and his war-weary Pokedex to scrambling for her own. It probably wouldn't be too hard to copy what she'd seen Zo and Vess do.
After that ordeal was over, though, it was time to address the next concern. With a wary glance around, she leaned forward to ask quietly, "You mean sneaking out tonight, or just the whole arrangement?" Sitting back up, Trista continued, "If y'do mean our whole reason for enrolling, then they must have seen something in us, right? Don't think they'd be quite so friv-oh, sorry. They probably wouldn't waste such valuable resources. As us." Add a smile to show camaraderie, and maybe her small speech would even work! But probably not. Oh well, not for lack of effort.

A few moments after Trista says her part, the door opens and Dakota walks in, a bit surprised to see Greg and Trista there.
“Oh hi Greg! Hi um...Trista, right? What are you guys doin’?” He asks, sitting down on the couch next to Greg.

Quick, what's Greg good at? Fishing, relaxing... I think he did okay in the gym classes, and the battling class...? Definitely not a tech-kid, and I don't think he'd be all that keen on studying... Hrm. Oh!
With a slight nod to acknowledge her name, Trista answered, perhaps too hastily, "Collecting numbers! I didn't see him at the cafeteria, f-for dinner, so I decided I'd check here, and hey there he was! Haha..."
To maintain an air of total normality and no suspiciousness whatsoever, she then asked, "A-and what about you... Dakota? What are you doing... in, the... boys dorm?"

“What am I doing here?” Dakota repeats, a bit surprised at the question. “Um, well...I guess I’m here to just relax? I didn’t have much luck finding Pokemon so I didn’t want to stay out...Am I, um, interrupting something?”

Blink, blink. What... was the boy... doing in the boy's dorm...? At night, after classes. Genius. Idiot. A look of alarm accompanied those thoughts, though probably not for what Dakota would think. Trista then launched into a relatively heated denial of, "Of course not, no. No! I-I already recorded his number. So no, you're not interrupting anything."
Shifting up in her seat, Trista looked toward Greg, equal parts curious and worried about his next response. It wasn't as though she could leave without seeing that, or without arousing suspicion, though, so remain she would... "...Say, where did you look? I checked all over the city, but couldn't find a trace of the things anymore... Think maybe everyone was a little too eager when they got to capture Pokemon for the first time..." Never mind the fact that the one saying it caught tripled her roster in one night... Maybe just don't mention that...

As Dakota walked in the fisherman waved to his 'old' friend, happy to see another friendly face. "Hey Dakota dude, me and Trista were just chilling and talking about stuff." Greg said in his every consistent laid back voice, giggling when asked Dokota why he was here, taking it as a joke.
Greg cocked his head to the side as the two talked about Pokemon catching, thinking back to this morning. "Well, me and Dakota managed to find a lack with some waterdudes, but I guess that won't work for y'all. It seemed easy enough to find Pokemon wandering around the forest, maybe you just gotta, like, look harder?"

“I just went into city, and I caught an Eevee, but she got her head stuck in a trash bag and was just wandering around, so it wasn’t really hard to catch her...That’s all I ended up catching, though.” He says. “What kind of Pokemon have you found Trista? You must’ve caught something.”

The first thing Greg and Zo saw when they walked into the dorm was the two twins sitting on the couch snacking and loudly talking. It’s amazing they haven’t woke up the other three boys in the dorm. It was also amazing they were actually in the dorm for once.
“Hey, look who it is! It’s that fisher-kid and that weird guy!” Jay declares loudly, waving the two over.
Quinn turns to look at the arrivals and seems slightly surprised. “What were you two doing out? You guys didn’t seem like the type to break the rules.”

Zo simply smiles at the twins as he walks in. "Well, I am indeed a lot more than I seem, you're not wrong there. However, Gregory here was out fishing, and had lost track of time. I'd simply gone to fetch him before he got himself in trouble. Luckily, we managed to avoid any undue attention on our way back here."As he talks, he pours himself something to drink and sits down on an unoccupied seat, content to spend a few moments simply relaxing and winding down before heading for bed. Gods know I'm not going to get a lot of time to relax in the next few months...Guile for cover story: 0|39YGHm4d6+1 spending 1 AP 4d6+1

The boys seem unimpressed, but they also don’t seem to suspect anything.
“Just as boring as I thought. You two are taking this whole thing waaay too seriously.” The more outspoken brother says flippantly. “Besides, its way more important to network here than to actually catch pokemon. Though, you two are from the middle of nowhere, right? You probably don’t know much about stuff like that.”
Quinn pops a few chips in his mouth before giving Jay a playful shove. “Oh c’mon! Don’t be rude.”
Jay shrugs in response. “It’s the truth though! If you want to come out of here with a job and a future lined up for you, you have to focus on the people and not the pokemon.”

Zo doesn't really respond to Jay, simply sipping his drink as he smiles a knowing smile.

By the time Greg and Zo wake up, all the other members of the dorm are already gathered in the common room. Faron is completely dressed in uniform, but everyone else is still in pajamas. The twins are both in sweatpants, Dakota is in a matching pajama set, and Xander is in a tank top and basketball shorts. Despite their different outfits, they all have one thing in common; no one seems happy.
Dakota sleepily rubs his eyes as he joins the already heated conversation. “I think it’ll be fun! I don’t see why you guys are all so mad…”
“If your idea of fun is super boring then yeah, it’ll be great.” Jay adds with an eye-roll.
“I just don’t see why they had to make it before classes…” Xander grumbles while peering over the lip of his coffee mug. “Or at least I don’t see why they didn’t at least tell us before now…”
“I know, it’s just stupid.”
“It shows shoddy interim leadership and bad planning. I would’ve expected more, but I suppose everyone makes mistakes.”
“Yeah, what he said.” Quinn mumbles absentmindedly while looking at his Pokedex. “I’m just pissed we’re gonna have to deal with some slacker who’s getting a handout even though he didn’t make the cut to get in.”
“I’m not looking forward to it in the least.”
Xander leans against the counter, watching the conversation unfold before speaking up again. “You guys are being way too harsh. We haven’t even met him yet.”
“Yeah! I’m sure he’ll be super fun too!”

Zo stumbles in, already fully dressed, seemingly oblivious to the other boys already sitting in the room, and goes to grab himself a mug of coffee. He then takes a seat in an unoccupied chair and takes a sip before asking, matter of factly. "Anyone mind filling me in on what I've missed?" Seems he hadn't been half as ignorant as he'd looked like.
