Pokemon Tabletop Adventures: Team Rocket, v 0.1

[Esprit15]

"What happened to not needing powers to understand people?"

"Are you really all that surprised aft- nevermind." Right, not able to telecommunicate with him.

[MesiDoomstalker]

I've always been ready. He says with with a wink. And I do have interest in carnal relations once a Mirage Island sighitng. If only when the mood strikes me. he adds flippantly.

'Makeover time.'

Romeo takes Ethan to the bathroom, getting a few funny looks when two men go into the same stall. After 15 minutes and some grunting and banging (due to the stall being small) Ethan emerges with short blond hair combed back, contacts instead of glasses and a neat blonde goatee. There was fake make-up under his eyes to give him the look of a sleep deprived scientist that would work in Silph Co. And of course, a pocket jammed full of pens. Cos all scientists have hundreds of pens.

As you exit the stall there is a small boy, probably about ten, looking at the two of you with wide eyes.

"What were you doing in there?" he says in a fearful voice.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Ethan smiles and kneels down to the boy's height. Son, its best you don't know for your own good. while ruffling the kids hair before leaving the bathroom with a wink at Romeo to follow.

[Esprit15]

Artemis stifles a laugh. "You just love goatees, don't you?"

[IrnBruAddict]

'What? they tickle when you kiss. Wanna find out?' You notice that was directed at both Artemis and Ethan.

[Esprit15]

No. "I'd rather not."

[MesiDoomstalker]

Ethan shoots a serious glare at Romeo. He's back to all business. Lets go to the meet sight and find out where we will be stationed.

[IrnBruAddict]

'Owwie owwie owwie!' Romeo grabs his head and follows after Ethan.

[Esprit15]

Artemis just laughs and follows him.

[Arcran]

The group of you soon find yourself at the Dojo at around 11:50. Stacey is looking around, but doesnt' seem to be in a rush.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Arte, you, Paul and Gerald find places you can watch without drawing attention to yourselves. And make sure your keeping you mind on the kid.

C'mon lover boy, who are we meeting? I need to get into character before we approach.

[IrnBruAddict]

'I told you, Stacey will introduce us to the kid. We're posing as members of Silph, trying to get the Slugma.'

'Hello ma'am, nice to meet you.' Romeo shakes Stacey's hand and gives her a wink. His voice should give him away.

I'll monitor your thoughts. Just get panicky if things go wrong and I'll send those two in. "Guys, just hang out at the benches by the gym. I'll be in good range of him and we can get in quickly if things go south. Paul, have Hardcase hang out by a window and act as our eyes." Before going, she waits to see how Romeo's interaction goes. Somebody's jealous! Am not! Besides, she doesn't seem interested anymore.

[Eshkigal]

Gerald looks at the dojo.
"I know what to do if we go in. Paul, eyes in the sky time. Arte, stick with me or split to a side."

[Arcran]

Stacey looks at you funny.

"You were better looking yesterday," she mutters as if she is coming out of a trance. "Anwyays, I got the kid here. He'll be here in a bit. Need anything else?" she says, looking around.

Perception from Romeo and Ethan.

[IrnBruAddict]

'No, we should be fine. And yesterday was my real face.'

Romeo glances around.

sorry, should be 19, only +3

[MesiDoomstalker]

Ethan quickly gets into character before approaching Stacey. Shaking hands, slight stutter, haggard look. Thank you so much ma'am. We were looking all over for this child.

[Arcran]

Both of you notice that her gaze lingers on a huge man, the one that had interrupted Ethan and Gerald's "special time."

"He's over there," she says, gesturing to a kid messing with a Type Shifter, probably the one Gerald gave him.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Ro, thats the guy after you. We need to be careful. he says in a whisper without looking at the man more than to identify him.

To Stacy Whats up with the big guy?

[Arcran]

"Him? Oh, he's nobody. Just one of the better hitmen here," she says. "He's supposed to be teaching Rome a lesson."

She seems to be leaving something out.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Arte. Could you read the big guy's mind and Stacy's too? He was the one after Romeo and she isn't telling us everything. And scan the kid too. Ask Gerald if he looks familiar.

[IrnBruAddict]

'And is that all you can tell me Stacey? If I die, I can't help you with that favour later, can I?'

[Esprit15]

I'll just keep a hemisphere out for any unusual thoughts that concern you. Artemis feels for minds near Romeo and Ethan, then for one of a man thinking about killing Romeo, as well as general scanning of minds, honing in on those that are thinking about either harming Romeo or of a Slugma.

[hustlertwo]

Paul sets Hardcase up at he best vantage point he can find while still keeping the Kakuna within range of their link, and waits.

"I have other plans," she says, not even bothering to smile. "Thanks for the offer though."

The big guy is currently thinking about the best way to make fried ice cream with his flamethrower, but Stacy's thoughts are much more interesting. Apparently the big guy had offered ^15,000 for any information on Romeo. She had refused becuase she had feelings for him, but that seems to have changed.

Paul sets Hardcase up at he best vantage point he can find while still keeping the Kakuna within range of their link, and waits.

You manage to find a dumbell rack off to the side that provides Hardcase with a clear view of the kid. A convient chair is next to that, providing the two of you witha clear view of the Dojo.

[Esprit15]

Big guy is thinking about fried icecream. I'll keep paying attention though. Stacy is currently wishing she took a 15 thousand offer for information leading to finding Romeo. She might go back on that if the offer still stands, so be wary of her. She continues to scan the Dojo. If there was anything of note, she'd let them know. She lies down on the bench, pretending to sleep, Aquilla perched at the back rest.

[IrnBruAddict]

Romeo just shrugs. 'Sorry to hear that. Well, if you change your mind, I still owe you for this meeting. Thank you Stacey.'

He leans over to Ethan 'We ready to do this?'

[Arcran]

"No problem," she says, shrugging and walking somewhere else in the Dojo.
