Lita sits with Sergey.

Lita: "Um, just Lita is fine. No need to be formal. I know you're dressed like a maid but you don't have to treat me like I'm your master or something."

Danielle meanwhile is happily adding Touga berries to the drink.

Viridan City

-Shaun's sitting on a bench, enjoying the spring weather and thinking about...him.-

Saffron City

-Gabrielle's sitting at a café, similarly enjoying the breeze as she sips on a bubble tea.-

Stormchaser

Sergey looked away as Lita said that, obviously rather embarrassed

Sergey: "Ah, sorry, Lita, I didn't mean to make it sound like this... I just thought that you really sounded mature there so... y'know, I just thought you wanted to be addressed like it"

And as he sat down, Aicha was gleefully adding more and more Touga berries to their drinks, in the end giving a thumps up to Danielle

Aicha: <You ever ate a Touga berry~?>

Saffron City

Daydre is sitting at a table near Gabrielle, drawing random real objects and people.

Azure is sitting at one of the seats next to her.

Azure: <... What's the point of this again?>

"I need to draw something other than pretty anime men once in a while but sitting in on model sessions generally costs money."

Azure: <Ookay then.>

Stormchaser

Lita chuckled.

Lita: "What gave you that indication? Must've been my juvenile grandmother."

Danielle picks up one of the Touga berries and examines it. She quickly pops it in her mouth.

-Who, him?-

Mason: Silver, get back here! We're not that kind of thief!

-The guy stumbling after a Sneasel holding a wallet that probably doesn't belong to them? Him?-

-Someone takes a seat across from Gabrielle, grinning.-

Scarlette: Now there's a familiar face. Glad to see I remember something about that party, especially one of the nicer sights.

Stormchaser

Sergey smiled lightly

Sergey: "That must've been it, yeah... and, trueth be told, I tend to mostly err on the side of caution when I'm not sure, I don't want to anger a stranger by being too cordial" ;^_^

Aicha's eyes went wide as Danielle did that, waiting for the inevitable flamethrower that would follow, already ducking tog et out of the way of the flames.

Stormchaser

Danielle chewed, savouring the berry, then swallowed.

Danielle:"...huh. That wasn't too bad. Y'know, I used to be in on the spicey pepper subcul-AAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAH!"

Danielle began screaming and rolling back and forth on the floor, her face red and a steady stream of fire jetting from her mouth.

Lita cocks an eyebrow.

Lita: "You hear something?"

Stormchaser

Aicha had to hold back laughing, quickly procuring some milk to help Danielle get the spiciness away

Aicha: <Heh and that was just one, I've packed seven into each of their drinks, if ther ever is a way to teach a human the move Flamethrower than it is this way.>

Sergey shortly listened, shaking his head

Sergey: "I... don't think so, sorry, what do you think you heard?"

Danielle takes the jug and starts chugging. She's sweaty and gasping for air.

Danielle: "Uuuugh...Oh geez, they are gonna hate this. Let's get 'em."

Lita: "...I just got a bad feeling. Oh well! Man, it would be convenient if we had some drinks right now."

Stormchaser

Aicha still chuckled, helping Danielle up with a grin

Aicha: <You vet they will~ Let's go>

Sergey: "Yeah true, wait, let me quickly get some out of my bag"

Stormchaser

Danielle and Aicha show up where Lita and Sergey are.

Danielle: "You look parched. Here, drink this."

She offers the drink to Lita. Lita's eyes narrow but takes it anyways.

Lita: "Nothing suspicious about this. Nope, nothing at all."

She takes a long sip...

Stormchaser

Aicha: <I would've just slipped them into his bag>

regardless though, Sergey simply eyed Aicha, then the drink, then Aicha again before simply deciding to bite the bullet, starting to drink

Viridian City

-Him!-

-Shaun idly watches Silver run by before tossing a Dive Ball.-

-About 200 pounds of Golisopod charges at the Sneasel with an Aqua Jet - not hitting hard enough to severely hurt Silver.-

Saffron City

-Gabrielle looks up, blushing slightly.-

Gabrielle: "I'm alive, non? Then how an I seeing an angel?"

Lumiose City International Airport

Thierry: I've asked Jenny for her sisters and cousins in Sinnoh to be alerted of the case. I've also asked Interpol for assistance. We'll get your intern back, father, I promise. Together.

Jean: I appreciate this, Armand.

Thierry: You would've done the same for me, captain.

Jean: I do recall I have. The incident in 2010 where your class ended up in a hostage situation with Neo-Flare radicals.

Thierry: How could I forget. So, you really think the team at the office won't mind you being gone for a week?

Jean: The department can manage.

Geo Soc Offices Kalos

Jonathan, lip syncing in Jean's office: I've got the powah! It's good to be the king.

Lumiose City, random Cafe, weeks before the kidnapping.

Jean: Ivan, there's someone I'd like you to meet. My son Armand. He doesn't live with us anymore and we were fortunate to have been able to catch him on a break day.

Thierry: Detective Armand Thierry Martel, a pleasure to meet you. Call me Thierry.

Jean: Armand, you remember, of course, Thomas, from the office. He's currently training M. Losken on the finer points of photography.

Tommy: Pleasure to meet you again, Detective Martel.

Thierry: The honor's mine. Taken any new pictures of that superhero again? Father never did take well to vigilantes until recently, but Arachna-Guy, Vulpecula, and their counterparts have really turned his opinion around as of late.

Silver: <Agh!>

-The Sneasel goes flying in one direction, and a soaked wallet in the other.-

-Mason skids to a halt just in time to avoid being caught in the trajectory.-

Mason: ...That's, uh, one solution. Thanks, uh...

-He glances over at the person who threw the Dive Ball, and a few thoughts run through his mind. Primarily:-

Mason: Oh shit. Uh, thanks, Shaun.

-Scarlette snickers-

Scarlette: If I'm an angel, I'm pretty sure I can only be a fallen one, I hate to say. Obvious puns notwithstanding.

-She takes a drink of a smoothie she totally had.-

Stormchaser

Lita gulped the drink down and let out an 'aaaa'.

Lita: "Huh, not bad. What's in this? It's kinda swee-AAAAAAAAAAH!"

Lita fell off her chair, gasping.

"AAAAAAAA WHY YOU LITTLE!"

Viridian City

-Shaun pinches the wallet gingerly and watches it drip.-

Shaun: "We didn't think this through."

Tsuboi: <What do you mean "we"/You could have chosen Nero/But no, you chose me.>

-Shaun rolls his eyes behind his glasses and turns to Mason.-

oh fuck I thought I recognized that Sneasel

Shaun: "...'sup?"

Smooth.

Saffron City

-Gabrielle giggles quietly.-

Gabrielle: "Those are the best ones, don't you know? How are you, Scarlette?"

Stormchaser

Just as Aicha had predicted, Sergey went full on Flamethrower on his surroundings as Aicha was rolling on the floor again while holding her stomach

Sergey: "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And screaming like that, he was running around completely planless, spouting flames everywhere.

-Mason leans against a lightpost, trying his damn hardest to act casual.-

Mason: Oh, y'know. Nothing much.

-He crosses one leg over the other. Y'know, all cool and casual-like.-

Mason: I can, uh, deal with that wallet. I saw exactly who he stole it from, and I can just... un-pickpocket it back to them, after it gets dry and all.

-Scarlette chuckles, cheeks tinting, and takes another sip of her smoothie.-

Scarlette: Honestly? Bored as hell. Kanto's nice and all, but I've been hanging around here doing basically nothing for months, and I need something to do to pass the time, otherwise I'm gonna go mad again.

Viridian City

Damnit Mason stop being so attractive over there

Shaun: "Good, good."

"..."

"So...I'm off the painkillers now."

Saffron City

Gabrielle: "I feel the same. Without such clear-cut roles in the J-Team, I have a lot more free time than I used too."

"I'm suprised you recognized me, actually. Maybe the purple hair and lack of glasses didn't work as well as I thought."

Mason: That's good. I mean, I noticed. Since, y'know, you're up and around and all.

-He rubs the back of his neck.-

Mason: Which is good, since it would suck if you were, y'know. Still in the hospital a month later.

Scarlette: Oh, don't get me wrong, I passed by and totally had to back up and double-take to make sure I wasn't fooling myself about recognizing you. Which, I mean.

-She smirks.-

Scarlette: You're definitely worth looking at, whether I'd recognized you or not.

Viridian City

Shaun: "Yeah. Good news is you can probably start that comedy career now."

-He puffs up his cheeks and blows air out of his mouth.-

Shaun: "So..."

Saffron City

Gabrielle: "I feel I've met my match. You should feel proud, my flirting's second-to-none."

-She winks.-

-Mason cracks a smirk.-

Mason: Pff. Maybe. I've been out of practice.

-Shaun may feel a Sneasel-y claw trying to stealthily grab the wallet again.-

Scarlette: Oh, is this a competition now? I'm not one to be outmatched in a competition, I hope you know.

-She grins, crossing her arms and leaning slightly forward over the table.-

Virdian City

-Shaun dangles the wallet out of Silver's reach.-

Shaun: "Try that again and I'll sic Tsuboi on you."

-Tsuboi just stands there menacingly while Shaun tilts his head at Mason.-

Shaun: "This wallet will take a while to dry. Maybe you can practice on me."

-Shaun blushes heavily.-

Shaun: "I mean you can practice your comedy and I can be an audience."

"help me"

Saffron City

Gabrielle: "Well, I win regardless of the outcome, so feel free to challenge me."
