Anyways Here's Darude Sandstorm
That's it. Play it cool. She won't suspect a thing.
Lita begins to examine her nails.
"So like I heard you were one of those Frontier Dorks or something. Yeah I guess that's a big deal."
GIVE ME YOUR FACE
Leo: *screams internally*
Cerbeau: <Calm down, Leo! He'd understand! ...I hope.>
Despite feeling extreme levels of discomfort in human form, he needed the practice (and to get used to being in said form), and with Castelia City being one of the biggest cities in Unova (and near Pinwheel Forest), it seemed like a good place to do so. [insert something relating to myself here]
Jay considers for a bit.
Jay: <Hm... you wanna be human again? I think we can come to a good deal, then.>
<How's this sound: I release you, you go back to being human, and if I ever need your... expertise in machinery again, you help and I pay you fairly for it.>
She smiles.
<Sound like a deal?>
Hazard just growls in response to Cemani.
And then Delta says his piece and leaves.
Hazard: "So, some things can get him riled up, huh..."
Banquo: <Huh... I get the feeling I used to read a fair bit under... one of these trees...>

Stylus looked at Jay and his eyes narrowed. <No.>
It was simple, <I already hurt someone once thanks to you, and I'd rather it be compelled under orders than because I brokered a deal for something I want.>
Stylus looked Jay right in the eyes, <I'll break out eventually... I know what I'm doing. Owing you would be a bad choice.>
Meet The New Boss
Aphrodite: The Amarin side of the family? What's that like?
Nero: Your secret's safe with me, umu~ Though what are you doing here, umu?
Contact Me!
Jay frowns.
Jay: <Well, sorry, buddy. But I'm not gonna let go of your skills like that.>
Herbert comes in and tries to grab Silas from the back.
Herbert: <Thought you could betray us, George? We don't let Georges get away that easily.>

Dunsparce Cloud
Ever: You don't?
Brie: I always feel a little uncomfortable around her. I think we just don't mesh well.
Ever: ...Right.
Brie: You're not going to tell her, right?
Ever: Zekrom no. Just...let me know if you notice anything weird.
Brie: I'll do my best?
Ever: I have never known you to do less.
-PEFE!Every wanders by, carrying a Dunsparce. She seems basically oblivious-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
Stylus leaps out of the way and grips onto Jay, undoing the knot and taking his scarf off her, <I'll take back what's mine thank you.>
he looks over at Herbert, <Yeah I'm still not George. You got a new George. Congratulations.>
He grins a bit, <Still. I'm not out yet, no more aura jammer means more freedom.>
Herbert: <Hm...>
Jay is a bit surprised at Silas taking back the scarf, but adjusts herself as she is now okay.
Jay: "...Hm, so I can understand you now, then."
"Still, you've obeyed before and you know you'll follow along. So, let's get going... George."

Stylus sits there, unmoving, he doesn't feel any compulsion or anything.
He smirks and lets out a laugh, <Well one good thing came out of this.>
<As I said, I'm not George.>
Jay: "...Fine, thought I could do something with that, but mm."
"Come on, Stylus. I hear the coast is getting nicer now that it's warming up."

The Wanderer
Lab Raid left path, past
-To Dave-
Well, we'll go with that then.
-A man suddenly appears out of the shadows, with an obviously robotic right leg and hand, with a cybernetic implant replacing his right eye as well, a deep diagonal scar from his forehead to the right side of the face going through where his eye would've been-
???: It has truly been a long time, Tagg.
-Letting out an involuntary Terrifying Presence as I unsheath my dagger and four bladed Aura chains come out-
Tokarev!
Tokarev: -Walking towards the group, as Lev and Anatoly appear as well- Do you remember what you said to me back in Orre almost five years after you mutilated me? That as long as people like me were around, the J-Team would be around to stop us. Well, it's 2018 and I've been doing as I've always done before and after Cipher, and only now have our paths crossed again. I'd say you failed where that's concerned.
-Retorting-
Yeah, I figure that's just because you hid like a Rockruff with its tail between its legs and I had better things to do than try chasing you down. You used to be an Admin, now you're just some hired mercenary.
Tokarev: -Glares briefly before returning to a neutral expression- The smart warrior knows when best to rest and recover instead of engaging in pointless conflict. I had no true attachments to Cipher, they merely paid well.
Lev the Fearow♂: -To Muddy- <I still have to pay you back for our last fight.>
Muddy: -Just glares back-
Anatoly the Tyranitar♂: -Sniffing- <Hmph, fresh meat tends to be the most tender. Shame your teammates aren't here Muddy, I'd love to go after them again.>
Helios: -Flaring up- <Muddy told us about you!>
Akiko: -Shrinking back- <His Aura's… twisted.>
Hitodama: <His soul would probably taste like a pickle.>
Doc: -Angrily- <You're Cipher, and that's all I need to know to think you guys need to be put down!>
Lev: -Letting out a cackle- <Huh, the rabbit's got a mouth on him, eh? The mouthy ones tend to taste more satisfactory.>
-The Alolan mons are currently looking a bit unsure of themselves, while Team Nova joins Doc in glaring-
Tokarev: -Coldly chuckles- It would appear our mons are getting along great.
-Looking towards the group-
I don't recognize any of these people, either from our personal meetings or from the dossiers, did you just get bored of Memito, the girl-faced beast, and the blonde? Your J-Team has a retention rate comparable to the average suicide mission. Or did they just leave when they recognized that you, like me, are a monster?
-Pacing-
Those who have joined you since, do they know a thing about your past? I wonder what they'll do when that time finally arrives.
-Looks really uncomfortable at Tokarev's last statement-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Stylus's ears droop and he follows, <Still stuck with you... until I can overcome this...>
His only thoughts current were.
I will be free.
Aura Jammer Destroyed.
Allies can follower my aura.
Save me from this.
Dean took one look at Tokarev and then at Tagg, "History eh?"
Dean stepped up next, whipped out a radio and said, "James, could you please come over here. We need assistance."
Dean put the radio away and stood next to Tagg, "Pasts are merely who we were, they have some bearing on who we are now. But ultimately we're different people every day. I should know, I once fought my brother on top of a flaming wreckage after he sabotaged my plan involving a bomb."
~Good times,~ Mantis added.
Jimmy receives the call, "Handle this. Gray, with me. Raiden, assist here."
Raiden nods and Gray follows Jimmy as he darts out.

Leo: We just won't bring it up!
Cerbeau: <What if he asks about it?>
Leo: ... *puts face back in backpack* Ugh...
He is currently walking through the city, looking as if he's trying to bump into every person, but really, it's unintentional.
Human!Icy: *looking around* [Keep a low profile. Act natural.]

Flying Colors
Nix: <Tagging along with her. Exploring the world and stuff, y'know?>
-She gestures with a wing toward Kai, who is a bit more awake now.-
Kai: Honestly, the thing is, I know like exactly one person on the Amarin side who isn't immediate family, and she's a complicated case. Can't really give a good idea of what it's like beyond "I grew up with them".
-She raises an eyebrow at Lita, smirking.-
Kai: I didn't know we were already so close that you're already calling me a dork. Must've missed the memo.
Anyways Here's Darude Sandstorm
"I never realized the Amarin's and the Clavis's had relations."
She smiles at Kai.
"Also yeah you got really pretty hair I gue-holdondidIjustsaythatoutloud?."
She looks down bashfully, demeanor completely changed.
GIVE ME YOUR FACE
Eclipse the Moon
The clang of metal chords echoes down the corridor as, soon enough, the flash or red hair swings into view. Landing beside his trusty Shedinja and the rest of his team catching up behind.
Finnegan: Sorry fer bein' late everybody. Turns out, the smaller corridors led to nothin' particularly special, though I did find out a decent deal about facility through one of th' eggheads runnin' around.
Finnegan looks over to Tokarev, blinks, and puts his hands on his hips and exclaims with a "huh!"
Finnegan: Well then, you're someone I never expected ta' see!
I'm having to learn to pay the price
like christ, but with more nails
Channah: -feels the Terrifying Presence and jerks violently away from Tagg, who she was standing fairly close to. Her eyes go wide and purple and white, and the effect appears to anchor her body in place- <(Norunningnow.)> ...
Dolabella: -falls off and behind the tank with a faint ploff sound-
Lo: -zips back to her trainer's side-
Channah: -eyes return to normal; she stares at Tokarev for a moment- ...Ohhh. You... -seems to be trying to remember something, then gives up and stands there, shifting and examining the man without making eye contact-
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.
Leo: ...Maybe we could go back to the Stormchaser!
Cerbeau: <But we were just there! Not to mention that Hydreigon!> *hesitates* <Why not let him borrow the scarf we just got?>
Leo: ... Cerbeau, you're a GENIUS! *takes the scarf from Cerbeau's hands*
Cerbeau: <Okay...>
Hoping it would help avoid suspicion, he ended up tucking the scarf under the coat he was wearing, hiding as much orange as he could.

No voice to cry suffering
Megan: We've been walking to the bunker this whole time.
-indeed, there is a significant increase in non-hostile Rabbids BWAHing around, and they seem to be approaching a massive mass of not-unfriendly BWAH-
-seeing his panic- ...did you lose something back there? We can probably go back and look for it.
Logan: Oh yeah, that's a shame.
Zippy: <...hm. I've known mons who could do something about that, but I never asked how it worked...>
Addie: <...hm. Do we know anyone who might know?>
Logan: I don't think so...
-they've pretty much been trying to cram stuff into hammerspace this whole time-
Dr. Ironspine: -muttering, in response to Achille- <CERTAINLY not. The purpose they'd put this to is so—so CRUDE! So WASTEFUL! Why, I could think of a DOZEN better, more useful methods by which—>
Igor: -suddenly behind her- <Hm. We have company.>
Dr. Ironspine: <...>
-turning around, somewhat villainously- <...Ahhhh, yes, a master of the house. I expected to run into one of you eventually.>
<You look as dull as I imagined. Although I like your parts. I might see if there's anything interesting about them in the...unfortunate event they're no longer necessary.>
Igor: Hmmm...he seems...dangerous. Too dangerous... Perhaps we might be better off leaving this place after all.
Pippy: <Well, according to those rich people, he has a trainer...>
Megan: -pacing- Ugh, it's been months! A-and we've been looking, and looking...
Wh-what if we never find him?
Pollen: -laying on a plant, bored, "blinks" into Auric vision-
-then blinks-
<...guys. Guys, we've got a lead!>
Megan: ...!

Dave: Well look who's a pretentious peice of shit.
Mia: Dave, careful. -snarls at Tokarev-
-Jean is attempting to extract the balls from the cases when she ses Jimmy attempting to leave-
Jean: Hold up! We still need to take care of all of these Pokeballs.
Nero: Her? She's cute, umu. Seems someone already has eyes for her, umu. How'd you meet, umu?
Alli: -snerks at Lita-
Aphrodite: Odd. Were you doing research before you -snerk- nodded off?

pain peko
-Shaun begones sliding an arm down the shelves, knocking all the Poké Balls into his bag.-
-Achille and Jessica stop what they're doing - collecting Serum samples and tossing Dive Balls into the Magikarp tank, respectively - as Tokarev comes in.-
Achille: -Makes a vaguely disgusted noise-
Fluffles: <You're not a nice person, like Jessica or Tagg.>
-Oddly enough, Jessica is...uncharacteristically quiet.-
-Achille's eight children, along with Cereza and Cheshire, look at the two main paths.-
Jakob: <The right room?>
Morgan: <Why not?>
-Shaun's eyes widen, and he and Shaun take off down the corridor. As they pass Cereza, Shaun shoves a Beast Ball into her paws.-
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"
Jimmy stops, he sighs, doctrine drilled into his head, stay with the unit.
He turned back to the group and stepped in, "Sorry for almost leaving."
Dean sniffs, "So what's up with the robot parts?"
Leo: I borrowed something from Colt... One of those Pokemon-to-human scarves. I musta lost it while I was running.
Cerbeau: <I just hope that nobody took it.>
And before long, Blitzwing had gotten himself lost in the huge city.
Human!Hothead: *frustrated and very audible* Ggh! HOW ZHE FRAG DO PEOPLE FIND ANYZHING IN ZHIS PLACE?!

Kai: Nice to meet you, Lita and Aphrodite...
-She brightens up at the name "Clavis"-
Kai: Oh, you're a Clavis? Sweet! Always nice to see more of that side of the family.
-She pauses, idly thinking.-
Kai: That said, we actually kinda know more from that side than the Amarin side...
-A distinctly tiny Ho-oh-y face pops out of the hat, barely enough for Nero and only Nero to see.-
Nix: <...>
-She retreats back into the hat.-
-Fwoomp.-
-A Pidgey face sticks out.-
Pidgey!Nix: <You saw nothing.>
