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.

[Yayoi huddles against Rise's side, shaking like a leaf- but she manages to start a steady breathing rhythm, even if it IS broken every now and then by coughs or gasps of pain]

[But Rise... isn't going anywhere, and that statement was clearly important to the younger idol. Yayoi clings to Rise the whole time, though the strength of her grip fades in and out; a few minutes in, her grip starts slackening, and her eyelids start fluttering again]

... Tired?

[ please be tired and not be passing out, Yayoi, Rise will have a heart attack. ]

[Honestly, it's hard to tell which it is- Yayoi nods in response, but then she's out like a light; judging by her troubled expression, it's not exactly a peaceful sleep, but she's at least breathing normally.]

... [ Rise will sit with her for awhile, before she gets some help from a worried Rapidash to get her sister to safety. ]

[THAT KINGLER is also going to pitch in]

[Mostly by hovering worriedly and trying to avoid destroying seats with her oversized pincer]

She'll be okay, Iori.

[ she's trying to sound confident, even though she's WORRIED AS HELL. ]
10yen_idol: (Iori: Seriously psychopathic!)

[personal profile] 10yen_idol 2011-11-27 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Iori seems to be slightly mollified by that]

[... and changes her focus to make sure that she treads on any unconscious Rockets they pass by]
