[soggypastry]

[Hi, Johto. Hope you don't mind whatever you're doing around noon getting interuppted, because it's going to, by a woman with pink hair. Some of you may recognize her and the boy writing on paper behind her, others may not. It doesn't matter, either way. You'll know them soon enough; some of you better than others. It's hard to make out what Ven's writing, but the papers beside him are covered in Lightning's handwriting. What can be seen of them seems to be some kind of list, though it doesn't say for what it's meant for. No, that would be too easy. Especially since she's going to explain.]

We've got enough to start with. Anyone who's doing something about Team Rocket, get to Goldenrod by next Saturday.

[Or perhaps not explain. Because with that said, she moves to end the feed before something Ven is writing gets her attention and she frowns a bit deeper than normal.]
That's just asking for trouble, Ven.

[He glances up at her when she says that, but she cuts the feed before anything can be said. Sorry, people. No secrets for you guys yet.]

[ooc: for those of you involved in the Anti-Team Rocket Squads, consider this the start of things. :3 For those of you who need CR, feel free to comment and consider yourselves ICly included. Also, Ven may be tagging into threads. Mingle at your discretion~]

Team Rocket?

Miss, if I may ask? Is something about to happen?

[ ooc: Thank you for the link, Lightning-mun. ^^ ]

[A pause, then Lightning nods. Smart girl at least put up a filter, so...]

Hard to say. But just waiting for them to do something like the Mag Train attack again is asking for trouble.

[snapandscoot]

Goldenrod....?

[[Oh darn it, Emmy was just there the other day too!]]

So there's going to be some sort of meeting?

[video; private]

[soggypastry]

[A short nod...and there is a reason they're giving people a week. Who knows where they all are.]

Something like that. We stand a better chance in one group than scattered all over the place.

[used_fireblast]

[Team Rocket? That's got his attention. He hasn't been poking into the Rockets as much since he came back to Johto, but he's tried keeping his ear out for anything significant. This sounds like it might fit the bill.]

What, another raid? Or something more long-term?

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Oh, it most definitely fits the bill. ...If things go as planned, anyway.]

Long-term. They have to be stopped, and the police aren't doing it.

[Twilight's not entirely sure how best to reply to this. The terse woman hasn't exactly given her much to work with. She taps her pen against the checklist she's made of questions and concerns to bring up at the meeting if they aren't addressed.]

If we're already in Goldenrod, what would you recommend doing while we wait for the meeting to make sure we'll be more useful participants?

[Video/Private]

[soggypastry]

Train your teams. Get supplies to treat the wounded, if you're not good at fighting.

[...yeeeep. Sorry, Twilight. She's not the most talkative of folks.]

[action]

[ex_aeroga402]

This is more complicated than I thought...

[Rather, placing guys who pick fights with other guys sure is]

[action]

[soggypastry]

Almost everything is.

[Looking more closely at Ven's list now. Merlin let them know who most of these people are, but there's one that has her very wary.]

I don't think bringing Vanitas into this is a good idea.

[cursedwithpuns]

[Hope comes back from training and smiles at Lightning. Absol looks a little bristled, but relaxed. Hope pets him gently before they arrive at Lightning's feet.]

Hey.

[He smiles.]

Hows it going?

[soggypastry]

[Hope and Absol have both earned themselves iconfaces, though Hope's is just a bit bigger. It's..comforting to see he's doing well here. It really is.]

We're getting there. But it's going to take a lot more work before we're ready for a fight.

[It may be just a bit obvious to Hope that Lightning isn't entirely in her element. She may have helped lead Team l'Cie, but actually getting squads together? Nuh-uh.]

[suzakufeather]

You're planning on doing something about Team Rocket?

[video]

[soggypastry]

That depends. Why do you want to know?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[She probably won't be coming herself-- too paranoid to leave her family at this point, and unwilling to drag them all the way to Goldenrod for something they had no stake in. But she' still curious.]}

Are... you guys going to try and win back the Radio Tower?

It's still under their control right?

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[She may not be coming at the moment, but what she's said has certainly gotten Lightning's attention. The tower? She'd all but forgotten about that. Congrats, Heather: You're one of the first to see her surprised today.]

...We might, if it's still controlled once we're ready to fight them.

[keychained]

Is there anything you need for me to bring from Kanto, Lightning?

video

[soggypastry]

Just yourself. [Tiny smile. She doesn't like the idea of all you young'ins getting involved, but...well, she knows better than to stop you.] We can buy whatever else we need in Goldenrod.

[Video- Private]

[meatysoviet]

You are seriously going after Rockets?

I must say am admiring confidence, especially after train incident. Rockets seem to be powerful opponents.

[Video- Private]

[soggypastry]

Wouldn't be the first time we've faced powerful enemies. We'll manage.

[Besides, they're doing this because of the train incident. Letting something like that happen again isn't a good idea.]

[Video]

[somanytosofew]

Is it truly a good idea making this public? Anyone could arrive.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

That's a chance we have to take. Our numbers are too small to filter it right now.

[video, private]

[tapestodiane]

Got things in order?

_{[All business, now. He's ready to do something about that organisation, just point him in the right direction (or watch him figure it out himself).]}

[video, private]

[soggypastry]

Something like that. More people are getting involved than we first thought would.

[Point in the right direction? Can she tell him to sit and stay and have him actually do it for a few more days?]

video!

[seikaprez]

[ A nod, plus a determined face. She's glad that the brigade's finally starting to take action. ]

I'm already in Goldenrod. Where are we meeting?

video!

[soggypastry]

[Determined faces are good. They can earn you some points with this linefacer.]

You'll know come Friday night. You'll get a text with the location then.

[That and...well, she's not quite sure where just yet. Need to find a place!]

voice

[licentious]

Thank you for the lists and directions. I am already in Goldenrod and am awaiting instructions until then. [ She figures this will be a fairly short and business like interaction. She doesn't need to draw something out longer than it has to be. ]

voice

[soggypastry]

[A nod; Lust is indeed correct. This will be a short and very business like interaction.]

Stay put and don't attract any attention to yourself if you can avoid it. We don't need everyone knowing about this until it's time.
