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.

[B-but she had just told Clover she needed to catch Poochiko on her own...oh, well, it's not cheating if you have another pet help you! (It's Yayoi, not Farfetch'd)]

T-thanks, Yayoi. He moves really fast between people's legs. I turned away from him for a sec, and he got away from me.

Eheheh... it's okay! These things happen all the time! Besides, I know that you two will DEFINITELY make up soon!!

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-11-26 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
He gets really jealous...but he always comes around. At least I didn't eat his food this time!
10yen_idol: (Accident!?)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-11-27 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I-

... this time...?

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-11-27 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
W-well, I didn't know the berries were kinda poisonous, and they looked really tasty...

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-11-29 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
H-Hibiki! You shouldn't eat your Pokemon's food! It's really really dangerous!!

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-11-30 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know that now. Some of those berries aren't as bad as the others, though...
10yen_idol: (Hahwah!!)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-01 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Which ones? They're... they're ALL bad, sort of...

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-12-01 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
I have a list of the ones I kinda like somewhere!

[She's going to get sick. They're just so colorful, though!]
10yen_idol: (Destroying property isn't very nice!)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-01 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
You've got to show that list to me!! I think I have a list of all the symptoms somewhere-

It'll all be fine! I just tried it a few times, that's all!

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-02 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
...

H... how many times...?

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Four times...maybe five. W-why?
10yen_idol: (Breakfast IS the most important meal!)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-03 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hi~bi~ki~!! That's really dangerous for your health!!

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
I know! S-sometimes, I can't help it! I see Poochiko or Santa-san just eating away at those berries...a-and I really want to try them!
10yen_idol: (BIG SIS IS DISAPPOINT)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-03 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
But they do things like make your tongue bigger or, or- they're poisonous! Please don't eat them anymore!!

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't! Not anymore! It was just those times....
10yen_idol: (Who's on first?)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-03 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Promise me, okay? [She's gone full-on into BIG SISTER mode]

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I promise, okay? I-it's not a big deal, I won't do it again!
10yen_idol: (If only we had enough money for dinner)

1/2

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-03 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly... it's a big deal if you get sick!
10yen_idol: (Pigtails look good on ANYONE!)

2/2

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-03 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[But then she grins, giving Hibiki's hand a squeeze]

Besides, your Pokemon will definitely like them more.

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-12-04 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[D-doesn't Yayoi realize that her Pokémon enjoying them is the problem--]

Mm, and now that I have a lot of them, I can't spare any berries, anyways! I use them all when I cook.
10yen_idol: (M-My family hasn't eaten in 72 days!)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-04 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? Berries in... cooking? [What is this strange and amazing concept...]

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I slice 'em and mix the berries into my Pokémon food. Only Miki knew, I think!

10yen_idol: (Hahwah!!)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-12-06 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... that's a really good idea...! I always just put them side by side, but...
