Hotel Richissime
-Straw lies back on his bed, Aurora curled up beside him, havig left the three Bulbasaur in the North Pokemon Center's care-
That was...interesting to say the least.
Catherine:-sits down on the bed- <Interesting? You almost died!>
But I didn't.
Palutena:-appears wrapped around Catherine's leg- <Get used to it~>
Catherine:<...So I'm guessing this has happened before?>
...Yeah.
Catherine:<...That's...different.>
Zangetsu:<Hey, be glad he kept his body.> -flails his swords-

Darien: And that's why I ordered dark mode - Dynames filters what we're saying to make it more mundane on the security cameras. But yeah, there's being open to all comers, and then there's... eugh. I don't think there's anything I can say that you don't already know, from the sounds of it.

-Darien comes up to an apparently blank piece of wall. He knocks twice on it, and it opens up into a room bigger than your standard apartment.-
Darien: Welcome to my Fortress of Solitude.
-He steps aside for Crewe to enter. The inside of the room includes a bed, a small kitchen suite, a door to what is presumably the bathroom, and a dining table. Oh, and a massive wall of monitors and keyboards.-
Darien: It's not a room at Hotel Richissime, but it's not the barracks either.

Cleo stands up and pats Mikki on the shoulder.
Cleo: Don't worry about it. Besides, I think you're an okay guy~
Cleo whistles as Pakhet and Montu spring to her side.
Cleo: I best be off. See you later, Mikki and Alex.
And with that, Cleo heads back to the hotel for the night.

Melody: -Still hugging Kim- Thanks, Kimmy~

Jolteon Balloon: Faster, faster! These are the scythes that will pierce the heavens!
Rosary: <Ha! Ha! HAHA!> -she hits a rapid-fire barrage of balls at the Jolteon...-
Pop!
-...she does have blades for arms, remember-
Rosary: ^_^;
Jolteon Balloon: o_o; Um... let's call a mulligan.

Ever: Uh...yeah. I think I should probably avoid having that move used on me in the future.

Brie: Oh, okay then. That's good. I wouldn't want to be friends with a murderer.
...Wait, Pianis and Amanita are going out?

-Darien chuckles.-
Darien: Give me a moment - I'm no chef, but I at least know how to cook something to make you feel like you've actually eaten something.
-He takes a pot out of a drawer, and fills it up before putting it on the stove.-
Darien: So, how do you like mac and cheese?
Illusion HQ
-Darien arches an eyebrow at Crewe before smiling.-
Darien: Well, normally that be a bit of a breach in protocol, but I think I can have Dynames and Astraea make use of their smoke and mirror.
-He goes back to the kitchenette and takes out a box of macaroni before dumping it into the pot of boiling water.-
Darien: Also, I know you're asking this - I'm twenty four, just so you know.
-He smiles as he stirs the noodles.-
Illusion HQ
Darien: Oh! Well, good for you!
-He swings his wooden spoon to emphasize his point, before remembering that he had just dipped it in boiling water a second ago.-
Darien: Uh, woops.
-He puts it back as he starts taking out things such as strainers and measuring spoons. He reaches for the refrigerator, opens the door... and the door closes itself again. Darien does not look amused.-
Darien: Seravee. Get out of the refrigerator.
-A ghostly giggle fills the room as a Rotom splits off from the tall appliance.-
Seravee: <Aaaw, but I like being the refrigerator! I feel so... "cool"! HEEEEEEHEEHEEHEE!>
Illusion HQ
Yeah. Nicest guy you'll ever meet. I haven't seen him since a few days before I joined up, but I'm hoping I can get Shard to let me go for a few days so I can make a group meeting with the people I've been traveling with and see him. He's a little concerned with the whole Cipher recruits thing, but he won't seriously object. Between you and me, he's a bit of a doormat.
-she chuckles at the Rotom and gives her a small wave-
Hiya. I used to have a Rotom. He stuck with his fan, though. Used it to communicate because he couldn't talk.
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!Illusion HQ
Darien: Heh, sounds almost nothing like you. You two would be a match made in heaven, is my guess.
-As Darien goes to the more arduous portions of cooking, Seravee floats over to Crewe.-
Seravee: <I don't think I could EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER deal with being in one appliance! That seems like such a BOOOOOOOOOOORING way to live! But oh well!>

-Darien sighs, kicks a spare screw down the hallway.-
Darien: Miss Echo is bound and determined to bring out the good in anyone. Unfortunately... one moment, Dynames? Dark mode. Anyway, some of us think she's trying to get blood from a stone. Y'know, building on the previous metaphor.
