Marietta looks at where the bartender pointed, and sees no one. "Uh oh, I missed him." Marietta gets a closer look and sees a curious looking door she believes to be a staff room. "He's probably at the toilet." Marietta gives a nonchalant respond to Jace's absence, believing he's having a toilet break. She takes another look at Marcos, now hugging Tully like siblings greeting each other after a long absence. I don't think I should interfere their family reunion. She shrugs and returns her gaze to the bartender. She should learn something further about Wind Drip Town before she meets up with Jace. "As you can see, I'm new to Wind Drip Town. I am planning an excursion, spreading my juggling art throughout Nexus, and be the best juggler in the world. Any happenings or lookout points in this town? Perhaps you could give me a brief history of this town." Marietta then points to the door near where she presumed Jace sat. "Is that a special guest room?"

Tully sighs, accepting the hug ambivalently. "I'd like to, bro, really I would," he says, stretching the truth a little, though not by much, "but like you said, there's the negative reasons they want me back. Call me cautious, but coming back when half of 'em want me dead or punsihed ain't exactly an appealin' prospect." He holds up a hand, forestalling any disagreement to what he said. "Don't, I know how it works, y'abandon the family, y'get made an example, and Dad makin' me an exception... well, I ain't gonna force him to do that if I can help it." He gives a small smile. "Don't worry, I'll be back, but I think I'm gonna lay low a bit longer, see if the heat dies down. Assumin' you're okay with that... ball's kinda in your court right now."

The bartender wonders, "Well this town isn't really that special, we don't have a gym, but we do have contest regularly. Yeah, those are pretty popular here. We have a few good restaurants that made it in the paper as well". She points to the door, "We can't allow anyone in there at the moment, there is an important meeting going on so they can't be disturbed right now."
As she says that, a man opens the door to see the results of a small fight. "What the hell happened here?" --------------- Marcos sighs from Tully's words. "Alright well, we didn't see you tonight ok?". He looks at his friends and they begrudgingly agree. Marcos sees the bouncer coming inside the bar with a few other people. "Looks like it's time to bounce, William!". William(the third and last guy), take out a pokeball and unleashes his Rhydon. Rhydon moves to a window and breaks the glass and exits the bar. William, Jeremy, and Marina follow suit. Marcos runs to the open window and stops, "For someone on the run, you're not as cowardly as I thought, take care!", then resumes running.
Still running, the Viliani group huddles up to talk, "Do you thing young Reese will ever return home?", Marina ponders.
"He will, if he is the man I think he is, he will return whether he likes it for not." The group cracks a grin and heads back home.

Hearing the sound of a Rhydon in a china shop, Jace peeks over the goons shoulder into the bar. He sees the now alone Tully, along with the remains of the window.
"Tully! What's going on out here? Looks like a whirlwind passed through."
Jace looks back into the room, giving a thumbs up. Coast's clear.

"What kind of contest that is, depending on its nature I would like to take part." Again Marietta squints a little and grins, burning her with curiosity. Which is cooled down somewhat when she sees a goon coming out from the door, then the sound of Marcos's team mate breaking the window with his Rhyhorn. She switches between both scene, then saw Jace peeping behind the goon.
"Pretty rowdy bar. I see him, right in the guest room, could ask what he's up to. Thanks for your time." Bidding the bartender goodbye, Marietta walks to the door.

The goon notices that everything is being taken care of by the bouncer and heads back to the room, he bumps into Jace when he turns around. "What do you want?", he asks.

"I wanted to see what that sound was!" Jace states the obvious. "I still wanted to buy Tim a drink y'know. Wanted to make sure there wasn't a battle going on out there or something."
Jace then gently kicks Ace in the butt, shoving him out of the room as the goon is closing it.
Ace is confused at first and looks back at the now closed door. He turns around in frustration to find Marietta sitting at the bar looking straight at him. He runs on over to her.

Marietta waves at Ace, seeing him getting close to her, she carries the sniffer to her hips. Out of consideration for Jace, she doesn't pet him, but feels something is wrong when she sees Jace not being with Ace. Wait, why is he booted out of the door?
"Where's Jace? Meanwhile something big happened on the news. We should bring Tully back here, he had a heartwarming family reunion." While asking Ace, she tries getting Tully's attention by waving at him.

Tully is still standing, dumbstruck at his brothers exit. "Well, if that's your alternative, think I'll keep bein' cowardly, thanks." He mutters before noticing Marietta trying to get his attention. Rolling his eyes at her flamboyance (Her and Marcos'd get along great!), he nonchalantly makes his way over to her, leaning against a wall by her and talking quietly. "Got somethin'?"

"Yup," Marietta gets up from the wooden seat, walks closer to Tully while carrying Ace closer to her chest, and responds discreetly. "Something's going on behind the door, Jace might be in trouble or he found a lead to Tim."
"I'm going to keep sitting here with Ace to observe the door, but I want your help, try to get Roderick to sit near this door. If Jace really found a lead to Tim, then he'll know what to do. We could trade roles, if you want." Finishing her request for help from her teammate, Marietta returns to her seat, placing her ear near the wall to hear any dangers that might happen to Jace.

"I'll go talk to him, see what he thinks - be back soon." Tully gets up and strolls out of the front door, nodding to the bouncer with a look of "I'll just be a moment." He walks over to where Roderick is sitting and speaks quietly, not looking at him. "Think Jace might have found a lead - back room, behind a door. Marietta thinks you should take a look, what do you think?"

Roderick is layed across the bench, reading a newspaper. He puts it down, showing a bitter face. "The Aquifer Delta City Pelippers lost again... They need to up their game if they want to make it to the world series. Sometimes ya just can't win with brute force, ya know?" He submerses himself in the newspaper again.

Tully sighs, deciding not to try to get anything more from him and returns inside to tell Marietta what said.
"So," he says after he finishes relaying it, "got any ideas?"

"His lost then." Marietta makes a sour face, displeased at the uncaring and bitter attitude of her employer. Her face quickly resumes to her usual grin. She decides to put Roderick out of her mind, if he really wants to come, he'll appear eventually.
"Thanks for your help," Marietta gets her walkie talkie. "pass me your receiver, things might get rough inside, so I can contact you."

"Sure." Tully says, handing her his radio. He's sure whatever she's planning is going to cause trouble that he'd have to clean up, but doesn't see much percentage in stopping her.

Marietta copies the previous channel on a piece of paper, then changes the channel of the walkie talkie to a different channel that currently can only be heard by Tully and Marietta, and passes on piece of the copy to Tully.
"Now, our next plan." Marietta's tone increases, she stands up from her wooden seat, carrying Ace with her. "Improvise! Don't let anyone see you yet. I'm going to observe the room, and if I enter the room, I'll contact with this." Marietta points at her walkie talkie, then walks to the door, turning the iron knob open then push it with force, feigning anger. "Hey, whose Eevee is this?!"

Jace points to himself in confusion. Ace is never in his pokeball so Jace and his Eevee walked in together. Marietta is too scary right now for Jace to actually say anything in reply.

Marietta sees the five men sitting down on couches. Between them is a table with two suitcases on top. It looks like an ordinary break room for employees except there are no appliances besides a cooler for food and drinks. The sudden outburst of Marietta causes Tim to jump once more. The three goons are confused at how Marietta got in the room even though they told the bartender to not let anyone in. They proceed to get up, but Tim raises his hand, "It's fine guys, unfortunately I know her.".

Still holding the door, Marietta "looks" around for the "abusive trainer", and when she sees Jace, she places Ace on the floor, and is immediately surprised. Tim is here all along, with new lackeys! "Tim, safe and sound, in the flesh." She widens her arm like looking for a hug. "I would've given you a hug, if it weren't for the whole abandonment thingie."
Marietta is hoping for Tully to receive the hint.

Tim gives his reason for leaving, "I never told you guys to attack that kid, he looked like bad trouble, but it looks like you guys took him out like a piece of cake. Though we did fail the bank heist. My bad guys!". Hey, you can have next pick at a power I guess. I can go last. "But we should be leaving soon and find a place to stay for the night, this small place is becoming pretty crowded."
One of the goons has previously picked up an orange orb. "Isn't there one guy in Paradiso who has a bunch of dragon type pokemon? I bet we can probably beat him first. To send a message."
Marietta takes a quick look at the room once more. She sees no extra doors, nor something that can be seen as a trap.
