Operation: Express Car; [train plot log]

Who: Everyone who wants to participate!
Where: Goldenrod City, the Magnet Train, Saffron City.
When: November 23rd, 11AM-5PM
Summary: Heist on the Magnet Train!
Rating: Might go up to PG-13, possibly R if exceptional violence of swearing occurs.
Log:

They've spent the last few days preparing. He wasn't sure at first, how this was going to turn out, but the Team is confident. They are confident and now he, Archer, is also confident. He has no reason to expect failure; he tells himself, even if they fail, this will cement them back in the public eye. A threat again. It makes his collar hot to think.

He reviews the plans again, Petrel's notes and schematics, engineering details. Phase 2 will be the most delicate, but he's confident in the abilities of the recruits. The aliens, the outsiders, are strange, but useful. They have skills no other Grunt would possess. Archer recognizes he has been given a tool, and only a fool would fail to use it.

At 9:30AM on November 23rd, Archer sends a message through the Rocket Network. It is short, and simple, and jubilant.

Operation: Express Car START


-----------------------------------------------


It's a nice day out, considering. Cold, yes, but the kind of cold that buries itself deep in the lungs and blows the mind into crisp clarity. Cheeks are red, movements brisk to retain heat, and around Goldenrod's white-dusted Magnet Train station, the energy is thick enough to taste. People in their thick winter coats press together, some alone, some with families and friends, most with their trusted pokémon. The larger creatures are returned to their balls, tragically fated to miss the voyage, while smaller breeds are held in their trainers' arms or scurrying around their ankles.

The station attendants are supervising while customers pass through, touching the microchipped Rail Pass to the card readers and moving in slow, sluggish trails through the gates. There is no shoving; the atmosphere seems too cheery for it, excitement manifesting in the form of loud, vigorous conversation. The train itself is gloriously slick, smooth and polished as a new bullet or a freshly-minted coin, humming with power. We ask our passengers to please mind their electric-types, reminds the stationmaster over the PA, as we seek to avoid any trouble or inconvenience during the ride.

Once you've passed the gate, find a seat and stow away your luggage. Relax, unwind; it's a long six hours ahead.

*Aoto is used to whole train thing, only the one he knows rides up walls, so he was honestly a bit disappointed they aren't going UP... But regardless, when he notices Saber he strolls over next to her with a grin.*

Yoooo, Yon Shortest Knight. Need a hand with that?

[ Guess who's yanking her luggage back down as though that was her intent all along? ]

N-no, I am fine. I decided this should be stored underneath my feet instead. That is all! [ And she'll swing it back behind her body as she continues to address him. ] Furthermore, did you not already decide on a previous title? It seems strange for you to change it all of a sudden.

Hey hey, a guy has got to mix it up a little every now and then or people will think he's boring! Besides, it suited the moment.

*chuckling a bit at her change in decision though.* I guess that would be for the best, huh? Or else you'll need help getting it down when we get there.

I would never proclaim such a rude thought out loud even if I thought it.

[ With a sigh of defeat. ]

I do not require aid. [ Her mood shifts back to her usual solemn demeanor, curt and polite as she continues. ] What brings you here?

[identity profile] manlymanly.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oof! So I won't get told if I'm boring you? That's harsh. *ha ha ha*

Anyway... Isn't it obvious? I'm here to get the first glimpse at the bold new world! ... town, whatever.

Would it not be improper? I have been raised to treat others with kindness and tolerance, so I shall.

An adventurer? I should have known that you were from the start. What do you think we will discover there?

[identity profile] manlymanly.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
No way! I like a girl who can honest like that. It's refreshing. Though I wouldn't expect anything less of you and your knightly ways.

Ah, well-- To be fair, I've only been doing the whole adventure and exploring thing for a short time... Even since before I showed up here! As for what I'm hoping for... some crazy looking 'mons, mostly!

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-11-28 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
One can be honest and not rude about it.

[ Indignant a bit if only due to the impression he's giving. Saber can be honest. Saber is honest. To hear otherwise only makes her huffy. ]

'mons? You mean Pokemon, right? What would you define as crazy in appearance?
