dehiatus + Team Rocket HQ raid info

[darkenedgales]

because pokémon professors ain't enough

Hello there, Route! Lycoris here with two announcements. First, the more mundane one is that I'm done with my exams, ergo back from hiatus! Which means I'll be (back-)tagging all the things soon, assuming my internet connection stops dying every three minutes.

Now, the more exciting part! You see, Crow got himself an equally moronic friend, so this upcoming weekend, he'll be having Ren Jinguji give him a short tour around... Team Rocket HQ in Goldenrod. Using his Almighty Influence™ which really just means seducing some female NPC grunt, Ren will be getting him a uniform to wear to use for sneaking in without raising suspicions. And since Crow isn't the type to visit someone's property and leave without a souvenir or two...

That's where we need your help, Rockets! If any of you is willing to offer something to be "borrowed", be it some personal possessions your character is keeping in their room at base or some Rocket-job related stuff (research notes, stolen Pokémon, whatever) or... anything, really, Crow isn't too picky right now -- it'd be much appreciated!

Of course, both of them will be staying quiet about this plan until it actually happens - they don't want to spoil the surprise, after all. While we'd like them to be able to run away this time, we're definitely not asking for them to get away with it completely, as they will be found out (and if you'd like to have your Rocket participate in that, come to talk to us, too! after all, the more, the merrier) and we're both open to plotting in regards to what future brings on that matter. one thing we know for sure without asking is that Lightning is going to murder them

If you've got any questions/comments/concerns/things to volunteer to be stolen/etc, just leave a comment here and we'll address those preferably when it's not the middle of the night for us. All of this is, of course, mod-approved!

Now for the obligatory Pokégif:

Comments

I've got a few selections for you! One is slightly less useful than the other but hey.

Dist keeps only a few "valuable" things in his dorm; the rest is stored in his lab room. He's got a backup of basic notes on his current project in case something happens to the one in the database. They're basic though; he keeps the thorough ones on his person. The other thing is his revenge journal. It's pretty harmless but they'll probably get a good laugh out of it. (It's a little out of date but I've been meaning to update it anyway. I can update it for the weekend.)

He likes to think he's hid these items well, but they can be found with a little digging around. I'd appreciate if he could have a hand in trying to get his items back because he will absolutely furious when he finds out his stuff is gone.

[darkenedgales]

They'd definitely be interested in those! ... The journal more for fun than anything, but still.

He'd be more than welcome to try to take them back (though really, they're likely to give the journal back on their own-- it's not useful enough to keep) - perhaps while they're making their escape, if that works? We'll have a log up tomorrow due to RL circumstances (read: stupid timezones) with separate threads for different parts of the whole "operation", so feel free to approach them there!

Perona has nothing good but her Spiritomb likes to sit on her desk like a paper weight rock. If you like freaky shenanigans, there you go.

Ilya's still too new to have much aside from the Pokemon that are actually, you know, hers, but if they want to try and search her room anyway, they certainly can. Be warned, however, it is guarded by a fearsome deterrent.

Orpheus, the screaming Duskull!

So if you want them to go poking around a young girl's room and get screamed at by a ghost (and possibly caught red-handed by the same young girl, though that could have some serious complications because Ilya's a lot more than she seems), we can do that.

[darkenedgales]

... That sounds like a terrible beautiful way of being found out, so we'd be cool with this! Like I mentioned in a comment above, we'll put up a log belatedly tomorrow and split it into several parts, so if you're willing to put Orpheus (and, by extension, Ilya) in there, that'd be awesome.

[dressofheaven]

Consider it done! Ilya will be more than happy to yell at them for invading a lady's room, kick them out without seeming to think they're anything other than very rude... and then rat on them to Kimblee the higher ups.

Ralph should get all of the fabric softener sheets he uses on laundry duty stolen and get blamed for it :I

JUST SAYIN

Hey! Sorry this is totally late but Momo is one of those Rockets that tries all the time (to be good) in this institution. She has a sketchpad that details a layout for part of the base, and then sketches of grunts and pokémon and also happy things like sunfloras and a lot of drawings that look like a sugarplum fairy land of cute pokémon or something. Crow is free to definitely pick it up and start laughing. They're very well drawn, though!
