Kalos, The Chamber of Emptiness
"Maybe so. But I think I'm more meant to keep to the shadows than even you. It's kind of in most of those titles."
He chuckles.
"Plus, I mean, I heard of the Grey Fox long before I heard of the Black."
The Grey Fox: Well, when you denounce... A pretender... In front of the J-Team, you're bound to make an impression.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Kalos, The Chamber of Emptiness
"Oh, aye, there's the rub, Ms. Grey."
He laughs again.
"And while we're on the subject, what do you think of the J-Team? This generation's band of heroes, eh?"
The Grey Fox: I can't hold them too hard. They've been pretty good, but things have died down. Wouldn't be surprised if they changed the guard soon too.

"I'm not so sure. Something tells me they're in for the long haul. Specially folks like that Dr. Tagg fellow. And of course, our mutual friend."
The Grey Fox: Perhaps, perhaps. No telling till time turns onwards. And time prefers sleeping on his side. -Chuckles-

"Heh. Look at us, a couple of old monsters hitting it off."
He sighs, slowly standing up.
"Well, I guess that's just about everything. Oh! One last thing."
He smiles at her again.
"I'd be much obliged if you would stay away from a certain Joseph Hudson. His safety is of... particular interest to me."
The Grey Fox: Oh, I'm all new darling. -Smirks and stands up herself- And I'll steer clear of your Joe. Just remember to stay outta Gaulthorn or I'll have my right of reply on that knockout punch. -Winks and heads out of the cave-
Vechs: Well, what do you make of that?
The Grey Fox: I'm thinking the job's gonna get a bit more interesting than expected...

"Heh heh. Oh she is going to be just a treat."
The man with no name wanders off into the shadows, humming to himself and chuckling occasionally.

Lumiose City, Hotel Richissime
-Blinking his crusty eyes, Dune raises a hand to keep out the sun that had begun to creep in through the window of his and Deziree's hotel room. He hears a soft snore beside him, confirming that Deziree is still asleep. Pulling himself up, he stretches and heads over to the bathroom to take a shower. What he doesn't notice is that the radio on the nightstand is marked for a wakeup call in ten minutes, and the Petilil egg had somehow managed to make it right next to it.-

Lyuri and Duke are sleeping together and cuddling, at least until Lyuri opened her eyes and saw Duke right in front of her.
"GAH!"
She then pretty much jumps out of the bed in surprise, landing on the ground and waking up Duke in the process who bolts awake immediatelly.
"Lyuri?! What's the problem?" said Duke as he looked around
Lyuri then gets up as she rubs her back
"Where are we? Why are we on the same bed...?" she asked, with a hurt expression
"Oh. Well, you fell asleep in the plane and I couldn't wake you up, so I carried you all the way to the hotel here and I got this room for us. There was only one bed though but it was big enough for the two of us." he explained, then giving Lyuri a puzzled look "Is that a problem to you?"
"No... No, it's fine. I was just surprised. That's all." said Lyuri, sighing, though she looked somewhat conflicted.

-Titan is sat at his desk, looking over a set of design blueprints salvaged from Cipher's R&D department, seemingly rather deep in thought. Eventually, he pushes the blueprints away and pushes a button to activate the PR system.-
Titan: Mr Avadonia, report to my office immediately.

-Shadow and Rouge are sitting at opposite sides of a chessboard-
Rouge: <So tell me again what the point of this game is?>
Shadow: <It's simple. You move the pieces and attempt to capture the enemy's king.>
-Shadow telekinetically moves a pawn-
Rouge: <So there's no treasure to steal or anything?>
Shadow: <...No. Your move, by the way.>
-Rouge telekinetically moves another pawn-

Herbert may get a text from Sakura
Happy New Year here from Kalos! Most of use are here in Lumiose City already, at least I think so. If you want I can pick you up in Ecruteak because I can now Teleport back in forth.

-Emma is also getting jolted about. Considering that she's trying to sleep, it's mostly just making her cranky-

Also in the lobby, there appears to be a kid dismantling a Holo Caster in his lap. The watch on his arm begins blinking, and he looks at it.Chip: Yes, I know how to put it back together. You're one of the most critical people I've ever met, you know that?
The watch begins blinking again.
Chip: So what if my C-Gear broke when I took it apart? That only happened once, Watt.

-Herbert blinks at Crow.-
Herbert: ...Are you serious? When was this? Did everyone just jump ship whilst I was asleep or something? This is what I get for going to bed at a reasonable time on New Year's, I guess...
-He then hears his Pokegear go off, pulls it out of his pocket, and reads through Sakura's text.-
Gee, thanks for letting me know in advance. Anyway, the offer's appreciated, but I think me and Crewe are going to catch a boat together. Her and customs officials don't exactly get along.

-Titan doesn't look up upon hearing Allen enter the office.-
Titan: In light of the potential disruption posed by the Illusion Project that has recently emerged, and because I consider a headquarters without you present to be an infinitely more tolerable work environment, you are being reassigned effective immediately.

The Grey Fox: Might be more a matter of field than age. Keepin' to the shadows and never being seen doesn't oft lead to epic stories.
