"One day." Tambrey agreed, smiling at Tortie, ahead, when the pokémon shoved the door open... and then Aulus mentioned the Joltik.
Tambrey shuddered just slightly, and cast an eye upward when Aulus glanced around.
"Oh, I hope- Er, I'm sure they have. Probably, but there are still plenty of ways to find them too. I'm sure it's all locked up in a ball by now." Or, at least, she -hoped- it was. There probably were a lot of places that a Joltik could hide away in though... Oh, well, Aulus had Tortie and Killer out, at least; hopefully that was either a good defence if they did find the bug, or a better deterrent against it. |

Thoughtful. He knew that it was thoughtful and he appreciated being thought of but he wasn't sure that he appreciated it quite in the manner that he should. Was he really what Xander needed in a partner? Trinket gifts were... well he appreciated them and he kept them of course but he struggled to see the point most of the time. Perhaps they were just a reminder that somebody was thinking of you, and if they ever stopped thinking of you then they were a reminder of the past. Would the latter be better? Would Xander be better off without him? Would he mind?... He thought he would mind, but how much? He wasn't sure, and neither was he sure of whether or not he minded not being sure.
"Ah... thank you," Frost said after a brief pause. "When I have my new desk I shall put it there with my pens." Should he have got something for Xander too? Maybe he should next time he went out, but what? Asking probably defeated the point.
"Yeah, probably," Aulus agreed, "there's people investigating every cupboard and space under furniture in this place probably so it'll turn up soon if it hasn't already." It was probably on an outlet somewhere, right? That would make it pretty obvious, easy to apprehend and ball up ready for the next trainee who walked in without pokemon.... Hopefully. The alternative was the labs and there was noooo way he was going to think about that right now.
"Okay, pick a room," Aulus suggested, gesturing up the hallway. "I expect the rooms are all different... or at least that there are a few different ones, they might have put in multiples of a kind of 'standard' and just have singles of special types?" |

As long as she didn't accidentally touch it and... Just, ugh.
Electricity cursing through her body, the numbness, joints locking up, and that strange phantom 'smell' and 'taste' that... wasn't really there and yet was all too unpleasantly 'real' during the experience.
"Yeah," Tambrey agreed with Aulus, hoping, a little bit, for 'already' more than 'soon' "I'm sure there's not a place untouched by now."
Oh, good. More focus on training rooms; that was a much more comfortable idea.
"Uh," Tambrey glanced up and down the hallway "I always liked the number '4'... Let's try 4? That sounds a good idea... Oh, remember the pool? I've missed the pool..."

Well he was pretty sure that he'd passed muster this time around; he wasn't sure how he kept doing it. No accounting for tastes he supposed. "Ah," Frost came to a halt and nodded at the door before him. "This would be my room then."
He rather liked the locking system, the neat little snick it made when he presented his dex. "I wonder if Elites have access to all rooms," he mused as he pushed the door open. "I wouldn't be surprised. I would be surprised if Executives didn't have that privilege." He didn't especially like the idea of other people being able to access his room but that didn't mean he didn't believe it was a sensible precaution.
"...Yeah." For a moment Tam had looked.... Aulus frowned, he wasn't sure what she had looked but it had been off. "Oh, yeah," right, "number four it is." Still looking at Tam in a faintly quizzical, somewhat concerned fashion he headed over to the door she'd picked. "I guess the pool must be on this floor somewhere... unless I missed it on another floor. I mean they must have one, right? We might have a bloody big lake above us but it would be damn suspicious for all rockets to train up there, right? We'll find it at some point, maybe go for a dip? I've missed the pool too." Swimming was relaxing, so long as you were in the right company. |

What was behind door '4', as they'd designated it... A glance in revealed a room that looked rather well equipped for keeping 'cool'. Cool, white, tiles, formed a space upon the floor, and up the walls, while somewhere above, there was the hum of a cooling fan system. Near the door, some controls seemed to offer some influence over the temperature of the room, among other features.
"I'd think it was on this floor somewhere," Tambrey agreed "I hope we do find it; it'll be so nice to swim again. I mean... I promise I won't hug it like the bath but I can't deny it's nearly as exciting a prospect."

"I'd be a lot more surprised if it didn't have one." Tambrey commented, impressed, and turning herself as well, upon entry. "I wonder if they're all so... big?"
She watched the two pokémon and felt... a little bit sad for Neph. Tortie and Killer were kind of similar, from what she understood, and yet they had Aulus and each other to train in such a way. Perhaps that was why the spider was so hard to work with, Tambrey just didn't have the right mindset, or the right pokémon, to train her as well as she should...
"Mhm. It's nice. They're... clearly very good friends." She ventured, and, warily, plucked a ball from her belt, looking at it for a moment.
"Should I let Neph out?" She asked after a moment. "Do you think they would mind? She's not much of a friend-maker usually..."

Well. Okay. That was... probably a first.
People generally weren't quite so enthusiastic about a bug that wanted to fight -everything- but Aulus did have a point.
"That's true... Those two can handle her, as well, I guess?" She was almost certain, but she just wasn't sure if they'd be happy to see the vicious creature.
The scientist held out the ball and called the yellow Ariados out in a flash of red, watching as the spider, predictably, turned all around to see where they were, took in the visage of the scarred man and her trainer, chittered at the two humans in an almost impatient manner, and then turned to face Tortie and Killer...
And stopped.
Neph stared.
What the /hell/ was /that/?! It was -pink-! It had... ribbons...
Should she challenge it or... Could the thing even fight?!
Never one for manners, the bug got straight to the point, pointing a spindly leg at Killer.
