It was inevitable, it was time to face the music (again).

Due to being so busy as of late, he hadn’t had much time to parse and properly process what the hell had happened as of late; his initial burst of anger had been directed somewhere (somewhat) however he had yet to come face to face with the man of the hour himself.

He was thankful that he had a pretty solid RBF, otherwise his anger would’ve given his true emotions away. That, and the deity was there to keep him calm as much as possible because—

Well…

He was not expecting to run into the oyaji il vecchio all the way out here at Lavaridge while waiting for one of the massage rooms to open up due to the rather extended waiting list.

Who knew?

“Hi.”

"Hey Lars," Bill said, wearing only a short towel. He held up a wooden reservation block marked with a big #3, same as the one Lars had. "Looks like we're in the same room."

The massage room opened and Bill got up onto the table, eager for the firm, muscle-pounding massage that only an oiled up Machamp can offer. "This is a bit out of your way, isn't it?" he asked, lying face down on the table.

“Not really,” he remarked as he was ushered into the same room and took the opposite table. “I live nearby.”

That, and I have questions to ask you as well but then again I’d rather save that for another time, he thought as he straightened out and rested his head on his arms.

“I should probably ask you the same question—don’t you live back there? Or do you have an apartment around Lilycove or something?”

"No I'm here on business," Bill lied, as easily as breathing. 

The Machamp pressed four firm hands into Bill's back and he melted like Sootopolis gelato in the sun. He let out a very un-councilman-like noise. "And there is no better way to spend a few hours-" Machamp oiled his hands and ran two of them down Bill's back, cracking it as he went "-than getting loosened up by a professional."

Unfortunately, unlike his Lucario Alpha, Lars had no easily discernible way of telling if people were lying—more so if it was the old man across him.

Getting the shit pounded on by a Machamp would’ve been fine normally, but holy shit the way they prodded at his tense shoulder muscles made him grunt as well.

“So… I heard you were elected,” he continued, being very careful to tread on the topic because he still had—words to say about whoever had lost their minds and allowed him a position up there.

Much tempted as he was to lash out, he decided to hold his tongue—for now.

“…congratulations.”

"Thanks!" He said, smiling and wincing in equal measure as the rough masseuse worked its way down his back.

"I wasn't planning on going for council, but after the state I found the city in I couldn't just sit there." Machamp dug its fingers into his lower back, worrying at a knot there and coaxing it to release. "Not after the pirates, or the bank robbers. Sootopolis was in a sorry state even before Rocket got there."

“And they said the city was ‘isolated enough’ from the rest of the mainland to not have to worry about problems like that,” he grunted as the Machamp that was working on his back found a stiff muscle and began poking and prodding at it, to release.

“Wait, a bank,” he backtracked.

“Was that the one Claude said he met you at?” he wondered, remembering that throwaway text message his idiot brother had sent him.

"Who said that?" Bill said with a laugh, right before the breath was pushed out of him by the Machamp. "Did they forget that pirates live in the ocean? There's a reason Rocket has a submarine, Lars." 

"There's only one bank in Sootopolis: Piazza Oro Grande."
Bill had a lot of money in those vaults, and a small army right outside them. "I saw Claude there briefly before the incident."

“Forgive the impudence, but that bank name sounds absolutely hokey,” he remarked, grunting as the problem spot was finally addressed and he felt his shoulders about to turn into fucking jelly.

“Ah, shit, that knot finally got worked out,” he grunted a few moments later. Damn it, now his arms felt like absolute jelly as well.

“Either way, I’m not sure if the bank’s name was on purpose or something. Kind of sounds like those ‘memes’ the young kids keep going on about…” he added with another sigh as the four hands moved downward to address another problem spot.

"Lars it's Alto Marean," Bill said, smiling through the exhilarating pain of the massage. "They even use traditional architecture and mosaic styles in the foyer."

The Machamp stopped to add more oil to the Councilman's back before getting back to work on his lower back. Bill had always carried his tension there. 

"It means 'Large Gold Square'. What we might today call gold bullion. I don't know what you think is hokey about it."

“It’s not that,” he grunted as the Machamp was working at the stubborn spot on his back.

“I know that, it’s the initials that made me do a double-take. P.O.G.”

If he could internally scream, he would’ve done so already. Hell, the snarky one was already doing the screaming for him.

“It reminds me of those paper chips some kids play with back in Alto Mare. Well, they sounded Alolan, so it was possible they were tourists. Pogs.”

He didn’t want to go into a meme-related discourse; who knew how much the old man across him knew about ‘modern verbiage’.
