Gregory’s eyes lit up a bit as he realized that he hadn’t given a proper introduction to the man he was speaking with. Not that Greg was normally one for introductions, but he was in a new school so he thought to act a bit more proper. “Oh, right, name’s Gregory, and the Horsea is Maria. And Faron’s the other guy there; he’s our new dorm mate. Say hi, Faron.”
“But, yeah, you’re Pokemon sound cool. So you’re going to take on a teacher tomorrow, don’t think it’s a little early?” Gregory was surprised at Alex’s willingness to challenge the school’s gym, mostly because he figured it kind of pointless to do so early into the school year. “I mean, I know they ain’t much consequent to losing, but it’s going to suck if you get beat down and all. Might be best to wait a bit, maybe get a good grasp on fighting, but,” Gregory shrugged, “you do you, dude. I ain’t going to stop you, and I admit it’d be awfully cool if you got a badge day one.”

Alex nodded. "Nice to meet you Gregory. Hello Faron. I liked your speech. Short and to the point. Perhaps we can trade notes on training methods some time." He leans back against the couch, fighting another yawn.
"Kabby's a bit rambunctious, but I would be too if I were a fossil only a short time ago... And while it might be a bit early, I don't think that's a bad thing. My pokemon have some tricks up their sleeves... All I need to do is find the right opponent."

Alex & Greg:
Faron eyes Alex, looking him up and down with his cold eyes. At the mention of Xander, he turns back to Greg. “I wouldn’t call that a fight, merely a simple disagreement.”
“Gregory, I would prefer it if you kept your orders to yourself, thank you.” His voice is as cold and emotionless as his stare, and the two combined just make you feel uncomfortable, Greg. After a few moments, his gaze shifts to Alex and you can relax.
“I prefer to keep my training techniques to myself. It would be...unfortunate otherwise. I am here not only for myself, but also for higher organizations. As such, I cannot risk giving up trade secrets.” He explains with all of the social grace of a boulder. In fact, Alex is pretty sure a boulder would have a lot more social aptitude than Faron.

Vess & Trista:
After forty-five minutes of intense reading and pinball playing, the timers on your Pokedexes go off. Nothing noteworthy happened during the time, except for Vess getting the high-score on the pinball machine in the corner! Trista doesn’t find much of note in the library during her search.
Returning to the counter, the woman gives you back your Pokeballs. It’s now around 9:25.

"I guess that's all then, we should hurry back?", Trista asks Vess when they retrieve their Pokemon. Before forgetting, she also thanks the Nurse, to be polite.

Lyn: Adora nods at your comments. “I wouldn’t want ya to come all the way out here for lil ol’ me.” “Food?” She asks, a little confused. “I didn’t have much else to do, so, if you really want me to come, I can. You don’t have to pay me, though. I should have some PokeYen lying around to cover it.”
Tell me what type of restaurant Lyn is looking for. Is it sit-down, fast food, what type of food, etc. If there isn’t exactly that in the town, there should be something similar.

Vess nods, following her out and back towards the school, a small smirk of victory on her face. She had gotten the high score on the pinball machine, and that was an accomplishment. As they're walking back, she makes small talk. "So what are you going to name them?"

Zo:Lipwig’s claws are more than enough to bring the thing down. He claws at it’s face, giving a few nasty gashes as it does so. You get 12 EXP! You may split this amongst your party as you wish, but at least half must go to a Pokemon involved in the battle. Don’t forget to add the Dex XP for Spoink!

"Well I mean I asked you out and I tend to prefer nicer places so I didn't want you to miss out just because of money." Lyn explains. "But up to you." Lyn said trying her best to hide her excitement. Adora had said yes! She quickly tried to think of the perfect location on the way to town. She had to impress Adora and make a good impression...you know, just in case she picked her for vice president! That is all! "Do you like seafood?" She asked. As she walked she looked over at Adora, "So you doing any clubs other than swim?" Lyn is looking for a nice fancyish restaurant. Like a Shiny Clauncher! Think real world equivalents to Red Lobster, Olive Guarden, etc. Not too famcy that they would need to go dress up, but still nice and classy.

"Oh, umm... I'm not really... I have a few ideas, I guess.", Trista says, deciding whether to actually answer the question. They were a fair walk away from the school, though, and Vess wasn't the sort of person she wanted to just not answer.
Before she could be called out for avoiding the question, she resumes speaking, saying, "I'm going to see how they like Temno, Grau and Morka, later. If I'm lucky, they won't mind, and that'll be that.", then, in order to keep the small talk up, asks, "So... Were you hoping for a specific Pokemon, today? I mean, besides Citadel! Just... While we were exploring, just now."

Zo grins wickedly as the thing finally falls. "Excellent work, Lipwig! I don't think it will get up any time soon." He gets out his Dex and scans the thing, wanting to know what exactly it's supposed to be. He's sure he has seen one before, but he absolutely can't remember where, or what it was. After this, he begins his trek back, keeping an average walking speed. 8 XP for Lipwig 4 XP for Jewl

Vess blinks for a moment at the names Trista gives. They were certainly interesting, if nothing else. She doesn't take too long to consider Trista's question before responding. "Mostly just wanted to train Citadel for our gym challenge tomorrow. I'd love to run into an Absol, though."

Lyn:“Oh...um...If it isn’t too much to ask, do you think ya could pay for me?” Adora asks, a bit sheepishly. “I wouldn’t want to impose, but...Pa didn’t give me too much spendin’ money.”You both walk into town, and you see a few small restaurants that catch your eye. Mountaintop Diner seems promising, but it’s a bit too small and “quaint” for your tastes. Tauros’ Tail Steakhouse isn’t your taste either. Seems like Sports Bar and pub, clearly too lower-class for you. Finally, you see a medium sized restaurant name Salt Air. It seems to be a fairly nice place serving seafood. “No other clubs besides swim for me. I wanna spend the rest of my time practicin’ and studyin’. Pa said that if I’m gonna come here, then I gotta work hard to make my folks proud!” She says excitedly. As you walk, she answers your other questions. “Seafood? I love it! Up in Solea, though, it’s real expensive.” Adora explains. Walking into the restaurant, you’re quickly seated and given menus. There are a few low priced and high-priced items, but most of the fare is in a medium price range. You can fluff your food in any way you want, just give me an idea of what price range it’s in.

At the mention of the Pokemon, Trista is reminded of Audrey's star. Maybe the strongest Trainers thought alike? When she registered what Vess said just before though, she couldn't resist asking, despite the older girl's more confident attitude, "If, if they're supposed to be so secretive, is standing out so much really the best plan, Ve- Ma'am?"
"Even though you'd crush the Gym, wouldn't that draw a lot of unnecessary attention to us? Unless it's part of the plan, I guess...?", she continued, even though they were getting uncomfortably close to the dorm. In retrospect, now probably hadn't been the most opportune time to talk about... that sort of thing, but the bold course of action had caught her off-guard.
Hurriedly, she says, "Sorry, now's not the time to talk about that...", then, to change tacks in case anyone might watching or listening, she finishes with, "An Absol? They're really strong, aren't they? I'd feel sorry for the teacher, if you had found one of those!", when they enter the dorm. Hopefully it would be enough to avoid a chastising about secrecy... but she wouldn't get her hopes up.

Vess quietly walks along, letting the younger girl continue running her mouth as she walks along. She certainly was a curious one, wasn't she. As they enter the dorm, she answers her questions in as neutral a manner as possible. "Firstly, I'm not that much older than you, you don't have to call me ma'am. I'm just a student like anyone else, and I can do things as I want. And yes, Absol are strong, and rare, which is why I would like to have one. Want to join me to look for one, tomorrow?"

Alex slowly nodded, wondering what Faron was doing here at all. He was here on behalf of other organizations? Did they have goals similar to Trinity? Or opposed? He supposed he'd find out eventually and it'd be better NOT to press the issue. He leaned back a bit deeper into the couch, feeling drowsy. He'd been up since very early this morning, and he was ready to head to bed. He was pretty sure they were missing someone, and then they'd assign roommates... He hoped he didn't get Faron. He DID know rocks with better social skills, and Kabby topped the list.
"A pity, but understandable. Perhaps one day we'll spar..."

"Sure I got it." Lyn said waving her hand as if it was nothing. "That is why I offered since I like high quality good food." She explains. "I'll pay and we can just call it a date then." Lyn teases jokingly.
As they arrive at the Salt Air and get a seat Lyn looks over the menu. "Feel free to get whatever your favorite food is. Since it isn't often you get seafood go ahead and get whatever. I have plenty of money." Lyn said as she picked out some of the higher priced steak and lobster meal.
"So what time are swim try-outs, maybe I can check them out and give you some support if I am not busy. I got a lot of stuff to do tomorrow, but should have time. I'm thinking of running for student council, but found out I need to pick a vice president first so that is going to be a pain." She said.

Zo:After scanning the Pokemon, the delightful feminine voice of your Pokedex begins to speak. "Smoochum, the Kiss Pokemon. Smoochum's lips are quite sensitive, so it uses them first to investigate objects. Would you like to hear more about this Pokemon?" Without incident, Zo manages to make it back to the dorm. By the time he gets back, it’s about 9:40. Alex is still training at this point, but you pass the time with some chit-chat and the time passes quickly.
Xander eventually comes back, and after asking to see if Jay and Quinn were back, he sighs. It takes until 10:45 for them to show up, laughing and joking. “Where were you two? You do know it’s past curfew, correct?” Xander chides like a stern parent. “Chill pops!” Jay responds nonchalantly. “We were just out making ourselves known. Y’know, socializing. Heard of it?” “Besides, we didn’t get caught. Less boring than hanging around here.” Quinn finishes. Xander glares at them, but continues on. Dakota walks out of the hall, holding a hat. Xander takes it, tearing up some pieces of paper and placing them in the hat. “Zo, Faron, Greg, and Alex, say a number, then take one from the hat please.”Please put your next post in the boy’s dorm thread and Zo, please specify whether you’re going to be 2 or 4 in your post. Also, everyone please roll a d4.

Something about Vess' tone (and words) implied that she probably wasn't looking for an apology. So, rather than (continue to) annoy her, Trista replies, "Sure, Vess! Maybe we should read up on their usual habitats, tomorrow, too?", as she looks for a seat to wait for the rest of the dorm-mates in.

Vess gives the smallest of smiles at Trista's enthusiasm. She was a good person, and a good balance to her own personality. At the comment on their usual habitats, she simply pulls up the pokedex page that she had found earlier talking about their habitats and shows it to Trista. "Seems we're in one of the best places around to look, so the rest would just be up to luck."
