Team Rocket Mingle Log

[ortion]

Who: Team Rocket members
Where: all of the Rocket bases
When: whenever
Summary: An opportunity for Rocket players to play out random interactions with fellow Rockets!
Rating: I'm sure it'll vary, but let's go with PG-13 to be safe
Log:

As said above, this is a catch-all log for those who want to play out Rocket interactions outside of regular posts. I'll have threads set up for each base. Comment where your character is hanging out and provide some scenarios if you want. Possibly add dates as well, in case you want to make more comments in the future. Others will then respond to your comment/scenarios and wonderful threads will ensue. This should be a great opportunity to have your Rocket meet others and develop bad guy CR.

Comments

[honourablevillain]

Interesting words from the one who told me not to question or insult the company we're working for.

[Please, Scanty. He hums and simply shakes his head before going to serve the drink orders to another nearby table - and it seems all too obvious that the ladies there are much more enamored by Chase's presence than Scanty is.

When he returns, it's with water and a menu for her.]

It would be wiser to keep such thoughts to yourself in the future, or even word them more carefully.

[preparetrouble]

[ She takes the menu without looking at him, crossing her legs as she begins to peruse it. This won't do, not at all. To let her disappointment at her surroundings show - and in front of him, no less - really, she needs to stop checking that absurd network, it's fraying her nerves beyond recognition! At this rate it might affect her complexion, and then what will Miss Kneesocks say? ]

Still have plenty to learn, I see. Waiters are only supposed to make pleasant conversation.

--The oldest vintage Shuckle wine, if you please.

[honourablevillain]

A little friendly advice doesn't count? I guess I'll just have to keep it to myself, then.

[That irritating expression of his never changes and he simply moves to get the drink for her. When he returned, it was with an elegant glass being set on the table quietly.]

Is there anything else I can bring you tonight?

[preparetrouble]

[ She hums to herself and swirls the glass, wetting her lips with the contents. You won't catch her off-guard again. Ever. Never happening. She swears it. ]

This'll do for now, I suppose. I'll let you know when I'm ready for my bill.

[ And in the meantime, she'll just try and think. This could be a chance. He has no choice, in public, but to do anything she requests.....if the customer is always right, then, well.

The smile Scanty gives you is almost sweet. ]

[honourablevillain]

Very well. I'll return in a few minutes to see how you are doing. In the meantime, please take the time to enjoy the many games we have to offer. Coins used in the games can be purchased at the counter.

[Good luck Scanty, because you'll need it. Still, he's true to his word and even though he serves the other customers he does in fact return to Scanty soon enough to check on her.]

[preparetrouble]

[ You're not half bad, novice boy. Why'd she gotten herself all worked up over this? Crushing you will be a delight!

She smiles at him as he approaches. ]

Ah, there you are. This drink has whetted my appetite somewhat. I'd like...

[ She makes a great show of double-checking the tiny little refreshments menu. ]

The Miltank cheesecake, sliced exactly one-eighth of the total cake, but instead of the blueberry topping I'd like raspberry on the side. No portion of it should touch the cake. I'd also like the nacho platter, extra jalapeños but hold the olives and light on salsa, two small sundaes - one without walnuts and one with both butterscotch and fudge, the lemon meringue fluff provided the lemon to meringue ratio is at least 2:1, and a tiramisu square three inches long by three inches wide.

Oh, and a handful of those little complimentary peanuts from the bar. [ This smirk practically simpers. ] Protein is so important, after all.

1/2

[honourablevillain]

[Well, that's quite the order. Even with how Scanty's been acting, he's not sure he expected her to be quite so demanding.

True, the rants about rules were enough, but that was mostly Kneesocks from what he's seen (even if Scanty's were nothing to be scoffed at). This...

Suddenly, there doesn't seem to be any charm in annoying her anymore. More and more he's getting reminded of a certain red-headed witch.]

2/2

[honourablevillain]

[It doesn't take long for his expression to return to normal though, and he smirks with a bit of a bow as he writes it all down.]

Of course. Just let me confirm if I've got this all written down correctly.

[And he goes through the entire list, every detail exactly as she's spoken it while he goes through the list and waits expectantly.]

[preparetrouble]

[ Wait, you

you

you weren't supposed to be able to

the entire PLAN hinged on you not being able to

Scanty's lashes flutter involuntarily, and she forces a rather thin-lipped smile. There's still a chance that her order will be served inaccurately, after all! And then she can ask to speak to management and get you fired from your current position, or at least relegated to an even more demeaning job! Yes, she mustn't lose hope!

She waves you away as the recitation concludes. ]

--Yes, yes. Now do be quick about it, thank you.

[honourablevillain]

[Well, there is a chance, but Chase is going to be irritating Scanty in an entirely new way. He's going to irritate her with nothing less than complete and utter perfection.

When he returns, it's about thirty minutes later - just a little faster than the standard preparation time - with every dish with him and another server. The peanuts are even neatly placed in a small blue bowl, shelled and lightly salted. By the time the two are done, Chase is the only one remaining at the table, giving a charming smile when he speaks.]

I'll return in a while to check on how you're doing. The chefs eagerly await your opinion on each dish, Scanty.

[And, just like that, he went back to working with the less high maintenance other customers.]

[preparetrouble]

[ Scanty manages to keep her jaw from dropping, but only barely. This can still be salvaged! She can still...ah....um.....Maybe she can trip you up when you're carrying all this away! That's an awful lot of plates. The administration would be so upset with you, were that the case. Yes, she'll - she just has to reach that point, and then she can....

.....oh Satan below, is that even food? Why of all things did she have to pick nachos?

Her eyebrow twitches, and she picks up her fork. She'll just sample what of this she can and feed the rest to a Pokémon under the table! Yes, that's what she'll do. Once she's positive you're not looking, she can dispose of the more unsavory portions of this by foisting it onto that ridiculous bat! Most of it at least are dishes she enjoys....

Now go in the back, would you?!

She's watching you a bit more than she thinks she is as she eats, affecting her usual ladylike poise. ]

[honourablevillain]

[Oh he knows she's watching him. He's not letting it catch his attention, instead making certain that the other customers are more than satisfied with their service before, at last, he returns like he said he would. Just how far has Scanty gone through all of that food?]

How is your meal treating you?

[preparetrouble]

[ She has sampled everything - or at least, some of everything has been eaten. The nachos are completely gone. (There are crunching sounds and the occasional "woo" coming from under the table.)

Putting down her fork for a moment, Scanty fixes you with a bright smile. ]

Everything's delicious, thanks ever so much. My compliments to the chef.

[ And to show her enjoyment, she picks her fork back up and starts working through it more quickly in front of you, hoping to polish this all off. Her poor diet....her poor waistline.....

When she next puts down her fork everything's clear. ]

Yes, that was - exactly - what I'd needed today! A truly exquisite sampler. I'm very impressed.

[ Something in her lap burps. She twitches an arm under the table to punch it, beaming all the while. ]

[honourablevillain]

I'll be sure to let him know what excellent work he's done for you.

[A slight bow, and he straightens up to pull out his note pad again.]

Is there anything else I can get for you today?

[preparetrouble]

[ You're not...even going to call her out on this? You're going to deprive her the pleasure of at last being able to reveal her genius, tossing aside the tablecloth with the self-absolving cry that 'if you've found out, it can't be helped'? You're just going to leave her frozen in this now-otherwise-shattered façade?!

You are indeed a cruel, cruel man. It'd be a pleasure to witness, were it not happening to her. She grips the Woobat tightly; it "woos" and flaps, so she uncrosses and recrosses her legs to cover for it. ]

That will - suffice, thank you. The service was magnificent, as well.

You'll work your way up through such deference in no time.

[ This smile says "no hard feelings" and means "I will trample all you hold dear." ]

[honourablevillain]

[But Scanty, he wouldn't be perfect irritatingly good at his work if he affronted the customer! Besides, it isn't like there's a 'no pokemon allowed' policy within the game corner.

He bows slightly once more, though there is no hiding his own smile that all but screams 'I've won and you know it' at her.]

Very good. I'll return with your bill in just a minute.

[preparetrouble]

[ Ah yes, the bill. How lovely. And her stomach already felt queasy enough.

Scanty tucks a piece of hair behind her ear and keeps beaming. ]

But of course. Always a pleasure to support worthy establishments....

[ ....wait. She has to leave you a tip.

This smile just blanched about three shades. ]

[honourablevillain]

[Well, she doesn't have to leave a tip, but it's usually common courtesy to do so. Especially if the service has been exceptional.

Still, Scanty? That bill he returns with is quite large, but considering that each item is incredibly detailed on the menu and does not stray even by the smallest from the original menu, there really is no room to complain.

Wait, what's this? Employee discount? That's right, Chase made sure to add that in there as well, for her eyes only. At least it's 10% off.]

Here you are. How would you like to pay for your dining today?
