[pipers_son]

Who: Everyone involved in Joker's circus!
Where: Goldenrod

Summary: Time for some good ol' fashion practice! And perhaps the first time plenty of folks will meet their coworkers.
Rating: PG at worst
Log:

A lot of work has been put into this day. Warning's been given, transportation has been worked out, and a space has been found! All of those who've been roped into Joker's circus one way or another have been sent directions and an address to a very large warehouse in the city. Inside?

A circus performer's paradise.

There's some acrobatic things way high up and a tightrope all prepared. (A safety net should assuage anyone's worries, hopefully.) Plenty of weights in all sizes are in one corner. Another has some hoops and balls. Basically if you can imagine it, then it's probably around here somewhere and there's enough space for all sorts of people and Pokemon to practice together.

Since the ringleader of the circus is also fairly considerate, there's a table set up close to the entrance people will be going through. It's a pretty long one, every inch of it covered in various fruits, snacks, and sandwiches. There are some large tubs filled with ice cold water bottles too.

So get to practicing, everyone! And don't be afraid to go check out your coworkers or their Pokemon, either. Your ringleader can't be the only one getting in everyone's business.

[Sho stepped between Denzel and the Eevees with an expression of mild homicide. No toucha the Eevees.]

I am learning contracts. Plugging the holes is moderately amusing. [Get people into horribly binding things with their only hope being Joker's mercy? Hell yes.]

I, [This is not an ego. This is a full-on, has it's own weather system, egosphere] am a genius, and maths are are my focus. You might be able to handle numbers, but I handle mathematics. I do, in my head and for fun, what most graduate students use calculators and sobbing to get through.

[Denzel chuckles nervously and slowly backs off and stomps his feet in rage.] FIDDLE STICKS!

[That is just too much of an ego and Denzel isn't going to fight with someone who could probably break him and there's also the fact he just doesn't have the self confidence anymore he once had. So, he's just going to glare very intensely and bitterly like he does with Stephen Hawking but it is true that Crocker needs to write down the math and just doesn't calculate everything in his head and continues to slouch over a bit more than usual.]

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't sober though it anymore.
[At one point he did though but that was many years ago.]

...Are you needing me to do anything here?

[Like hook in a light in the room?]

[yoctogram]

[Not fighting with Sho is a good idea. He'd enjoy it.]

Good for you. [It was dry as dust] If I'd lived long enough I'd've gotten a job as a mathematician.

[crackpotcrocker]

[Denzel gives the other a quite maniacal laugh because that was a good one.]

Like anyone ever gets what they actually want out of life.

[yoctogram]

True. [He admitted, reaching down to pick up Nand and give her a quick scratch between the ears.] I didn't get what I wanted...I got something over-all better. Sure, I'm an accountant instead of a mathematician...but I've got a friend, and my team. Never expected that.

Veee!

Yes, you.

[crackpotcrocker]

Wait! You're agreeing with me?! Mmmmm. That's a first. [However Denzel is quiet as Minamimoto continues and that's when it hits Crocker like a hammer on a nail. The same was true for him as well.]

I never looked at it like that before... [However, thinking positive like that is just something he doesn't do and Crocker does a few weak, 'ha ha's'.] I never expected that either. No.

...I take it you didn't have any so-called friends from where you're from either?

[yoctogram]

Just subordinates. [Sho agrees. Not superiors; he doesn't think anyone is superior to him. He had subordinates and obstacles.]

[crackpotcrocker]

[The subordinate is eyeing at you Sho, maybe because Crocker was employed under someone back home and still is and actually double a subordinate here between Joker and Team Rocket.]

...I take it you never wanted any either. You don't know what you're missing...

[Where Denzel differs he has always wanted someone to be his friend and here he has had that chance.]

[yoctogram]

I've got a friend now.

[Sho says, with a smile]

Bell. She's put up with me from the beginning, and she's why I'm properly medicated now.

[crackpotcrocker]

They're nice to have, yes.

[There's a slight grin on Crocker's face.]

Well I should be going lot of work to do before opening day.
