When the world is going to shit, the only course of action to take is drink.
[break]
- Ryuuzaki Amemiya, certified dumbass

[break]
[break]
Handling matters of Rocket hasn't felt quite this hectic since his first few years of induction. With information on legendaries to sort through to getting sneak peeks at loose lab reports, Ryuuzaki has been through the cycle of mayhem in these straits. Though he has no doubt dealt with bigger headaches - What with the remnants of fallen Kanto and the tasks involved - there's no denying the migraine he gets when thinking about the recently announced goals of tracking Xerneas.
[break][break]
"So I was thinking, Chief. Why exactly do we need so much energy? Are ya trying to detonate a warhead in Slateport or something?" He neglects to mention the possibility of it being used for research into shadow pokemons. Arceus knows he'd probably die before subjecting his own to such experimentation. Downing a shot of hard vodka, Ryuuzaki sighs at the singing sensation down the back of his throat.
[break][break]
"Think about it. How the fuck are people supposed to carry an oversized potted plant?" Slipping a look from the corner of his eye, he's almost struggling not to laugh from whatever reaction he elicits. "Did you have to tell the League to… Leaf you alone?"
[break][break]
Over in the corner, his Glaceon sighs, his misty breath dissipating with time as she tucks her head under her paw.
[break][break]
"I guess you really are some sort of branch manager."
[break][break]
He swears that he's a comedic genius of sorts.

Chief. That was a new one.

Gavin endures the questioning with a pinched expression, almost as if he were nursing a headache. He shakes his head.

"We need Slateport, its resources, if we ever want to take Hoenn. Destroying it wouldn't do much good." Perhaps it was pointless to provide a serious answer to a question that might have been rhetorical. "Why wouldn't we want infinite energy?"

After seeing what it could do, after what it had done for Lugia, Gavin was biased as to its usefulness.

He opens his mouth to provide an equally serious answer to the next question, closes it as continues. He blinks, twice, and then closes his eyes with a steady inhale. "You're as bad as Irvine."

Whether @irvine would see that as compliment or insult was a question unanswered.

Why wouldn't you? Damn these authoritative figures and the ways they skirt around questions! Whether knowingly or not, the answer provides is nowhere near satisfactory for the likes of Ryuuzaki. "So where did the tree go? Straight to Flint's hands?"
[break][break]
The mention of her name isn't done without a grimace, an inexplicable dislike for that woman's name dragged out upon the tips of his tongue. To have willingly aided in the research of… He shelves that thought for another time; There are plenty of variables that he has yet to uncover regarding her motives.
[break][break]
"Ah, that one? You've got to admit that he's a riot at the very least." His hands dance upon the crystal surfaces of the vodka bottle, precise in the very amount they pour out for the underboss as a prelude to the storm. "Kid's doing okay as far as I know. Saw her trying to sneak out the infirmary the other day." Though he has never tried to visit himself, Ryuuzaki knows the hours Gavin's spent by her bedside - "There's no way the League would have hurt a kid. So what exactly happened out there?"
[break][break]
He doesn't expect the full truth - The firm grasp he keeps on the bottle says he's willing to let things slide. After all, with how fast news through Hoenn's network, nothing stays hidden for long.

He doesn't miss the grimace at 's name, sticks on it with narrowed eyes. "That's our Head Scientist you're talking about. Do you have an issue with her?"

There's a sharpness to Gavin's tone; old Rocket would've gutted someone for thinking about their superiors in an unfavorable light. Gavin is not so strict as to resort to violence, but Flint was his sister.

Irvine was the kind of comedic relief Rocket needed, but Gavin wouldn't admit it. Heavens forbid it get back to him.

"Yes, she's been stable." He couldn't be more relieved, thanks to his own involvement in her accident. When asked after it, Gavin is brutally honestly. "She got too close to Lugia in the heat of battle."

This very serious conversation would be interrupted with all the flare Chu-e had in him. It was just in his nature to be dramatic. Most of the day had seen him locked up in his office after a short stint talking to . Eventually the lines of his papers had started to run together and it was decided a nice drink would be in his best interest. Also, to see again, which he had politely texted to meet up. They still hadn't properly broken in his desk like he wanted.

"Gav!" He calls put when he enters, eyes quick to spot his fellow Underboss. A hand raised on greeting, smile on his face, he steps forward to get himself a drink and maybe have a nice chat with his friend. Only- he pauses, squints at 's company. There was something familiar about the other man. Something very....

"Ryuuzaki?" But no, it couldn't be... could it? Either way, his face pinches, steps falter, and one can practically see the question marks popping off his head at the sight of his childhood friend. Someone left behind and only remembered in fond memories, a past life so far removed from who he was now that it was hard to imagine.

    Leon whistled softly to himself as he strode down the hallways of the North Wing, holding a bottle of tequila in one hand and vodka in the other. “Bellissimo?” He’d been summoned by Chu-e shortly after arriving onto the vessel, likely for another of their sexual rendezvous which he wasn’t about to readily turn down anytime soon. “I’m here, I hope you’re wearing something sexy because…”

    Turning the corner into the room, Leon was slightly surprised to see not only sitting in the space, but the face of a stranger as well. “...Oh, hello.” At least was actually here, but it wasn’t as intimate as he’d expected. “Good to see you again, Gavin.” He then nodded towards the stranger with a courteous smile on his face. “Nice to meet you, I'm Leon Vercetti.” Leon sidled up beside Chu-e and muttered softly to his lover. “Everything cool?”

"Not with her, but perhaps with her subject of interest."
[break][break]
Though he senses the sharpened edge that sits by his throat, Ryuuzaki isn't one to flinch away in the face of imminent danger, much less so when pokemon are suffering due to the hubris of man. He hasn't forgotten about the mountain of corpses they carry out of those labs, the 'failures' that were once loved by their trainers. All for what? A grasp of power?
[break][break]
He's seen enough of greed in his lifetime.
[break][break]
Regardless, he notes how he treads on shaky grounds with a curt nod, his gaze falling over his Glaceon as she watches the door to the office. And it bursts open without much warning, a high note ringing out as joy sweeps the tension of the room. It's a moment of celebration, a gathering of friends that he shouldn't quite interrupt - Or so he would have said if he hadn't taken a closer look at the newcomer.
[break][break]
"Fancy seeing you here." His words are hollow, tinted with a shade of tightly-bundled emotions that he can't quite decipher. Somehow, he had expected this. He had hoped for it not to be true but some part of him had told him to be prepared for this.
[break][break]
Of all the places that he could have run to, it just had to be Rocket.
[break][break]
"And with company." His brow raises at the sight of the blondie, his gaze lingering on the way he stands by Chu-e's side. As for the crude comments spoken outside, he probably needs to find some bleach later - Not the cursed 3-in-1s. Arceus forbid he touches one of those things.
[break][break]
"Ryuuzaki Amemiya." Though he's not one for introductions, he supposes he can make an exception for a childhood friend. After all, how often does he get to know Chu-e's lineup of little pogchamps? Downing his second shot, Ryuuzaki reaches for his own bottle of liquor - If only to kill the migraine before it even hits.
[break][break]
"Can't say I was expecting our reunion to be of this nature, Chu-e."

"Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket." The words are spoken effortlessly. The more he repeats them, the more they begin to feel like his own. "Never forget that."

Masked with ice, there is bitterness. Gavin wouldn't be allowed to forget.

Thankfully for Anemiya, the door bursts open before their conversation can follow its darkening path. addresses him with the familiarity of friendship, and Gavin allows the ice to melt if only for a time.

"Hey, Chu-e. Leon." Gavin glances between Choi and Ryuu as he realises he's become third party to some kind of reunion. "Didn't realise you two knew each other."

The silence is awkward and thick. It feels like... like.... Chu-e doesn't know what he feels. His skin is tippling with ice and fire in both turns, nerves washing over him with an anxiety he hasn't felt in literal years. A shaky breath is taken and- a gasp, covering his mouth, he crumbles a bit to lean on 's side.

Oh. Oh. Okay. He's having a panic attack. This is fine.

This isn't fine.

Chu-e only barely is able to shove Leon out of the way and make it outside before he hunches forward, a sick gurgling echoing in the hall before vomit splatters on the metal floor. Tears prick in his eyes from the force as a second wave escapes him, spreading his half eaten lunch in a wider mess on the ground. He would need to call someone to clean that up.

Hunched over, shaky, lips covered in puke, his mind is still a buzzing of white static as too many thoughts race in his mind at once.

    “So, not cool, I guess.” Leon commented underneath his breath as he was shoved out of the way so that could go unceremoniously regurgitate their lunch onto the linoleum of the hallway. “Excuse us for a moment.” He said with a small smile towards the others in the room, setting the bottles down on a nearby surface before stepping into the hallway, closing the door behind him. “Bellissimo, are you okay?” Obviously they weren’t but Leon had no idea what was happening with them, instead opting to gently caress their back with a hand to provide some modicum of comfort.

    “Do you know that man or something?” had mentioned this being a reunion for the two of them, and from Chu-e’s reaction he could only assume there wasn't a pleasant association with the individual. “Hey, asshole!” Leon called out towards a passing Grunt, getting their attention immediately. “Go get a mop and clean this up.” The Grunt simply sighed and trudged off towards a utility closet, leaving them alone once more. “We can go somewhere else, if you want.”

"Of course."
[break][break]
Curt is the response that Ryuuzaki holds for 's mantra, lacklustre in its own belief as he blindly allows the leader to speak. After all, he doesn't always have to follow the views of the organisation and he's proven it time and time again through his antics in Kanto. Arceus knows how he's survived so long despite it all.
[break][break]
But that wasn't the main focus here, was it?
[break][break]
So they hadn't met in the best of places - The headquarters of Team Rocket had been the last place he had wanted to be in. That's okay. They hadn't met in years either. Still arguably acceptable. But to be so shaken that he's literally losing his lunch?
[break][break]
Ryuuzaki can't help but squint at the volatile reaction, a hint of concern flashing through his eyes before vanishing into the void. What about his presence makes the underboss uncomfortable? The fact that he's a fragment of the past left behind? The fact that Chu-e stands before him as a killer? Or the fact that Ryuuzaki shouldn't be here at all?
[break][break]
His lips part open and shut just seconds after, a multitude of thoughts crossing his mind as he watches how the blonde immediately comforts the quaking man. At the very least, he's in supportive company - That's a point that he can thank Arceus for, right? He wants to take a step towards Chu-e but his feet do not cooperate, his hands idly plucking at his sleeves as he watches his friend from a distance. Sensing the discomfort he radiates, Skadi is up and by his side, gently snaking between his legs as she rests her cheeks against his calf.
[break][break]
"Well, that wasn't the reaction I was hoping for."
[break][break]
Then, what was? A brief moment of shock followed by a smile? A daring hug perhaps? Even an insult to his face would have been better than having to watch this. His voice is quiet, his personality now seemingly subdued as he shifts from one foot to another, a long inhale leading into a sigh as confusion melts into the cesspool of indistinct emotions.
[break][break]
"Do I remind you of home that badly?"

It takes Chu-e another few moments for the rabbit-beat of his heart to calm, for the gasps of breath to regain sense as nausea is slowly lessened. He leans on still, shaky, eyes unseeing as he stares down at his own mess as some poor grunt caught in the crossfire scrambles to clean it up. The question isn't responded to right away; nothing is.

"He was-" Is finally croaked out, low and raspy. "He was my best friend."

Which is probably not what Leon, or anyone who might be listening, would expect. From the reaction, one would think was the root of some terrible trauma.

But, he was scarier than that.

Ryuuzaki knew his entire family by name. Had been to his house and he had been to his. Shared schoolwork and a little sister who chased them around. His family one of the first to know the results of the court case. Had seen first hand the subsequent bullying and the anger built up in him as he mentally spiraled down. Until one day Chu-e had vanished, not a note left, just a stolen fistful of cash from his mother's purse and a bag of clothes missing.

Gone.

Another rough breath.

"I never wanted him to see me like this, Leon." A quiet admission.
