He’d vaguely heard about SPECTRA a while back. jayden cross had mentioned it a couple of times while they sat around and hung out after a particularly grueling mission. He’d more or less forgotten about it until Cillian Quinn had brought it up as a special up and coming project. He’d cautioned him, but Mint…had never been the patient type. Much less recently after so much had happened in his personal life. He was looking for anything to pull himself further into Rocket and his work for them. Self-improvement was a life long journey after all, and compared to most of his peers he was lagging behind. He could feel it. [break][break]

Then again, perhaps it was unfair to compare himself when most of the people he knew had already been either life long mercs, the Beasts themselves, or Chu-e Choi and Gavin. Whatever the case, there was nothing wrong with trying it out. At best, it’d be a great work out. [break][break]

He stepped into the waiting area, noting it had a far more relaxed vibe than when Chu-e presented the MAGMA project and bryan delarosa got his glowstick powers. He’s quick to scan the room to pick up familiar faces, locking onto Felix Gallagher his recently added acquaintance. Actually no, he’d upgrade the awkward man to friend after their drunken karaoke session. He jogged over, slowing down just a smidge to shout and wink at @elliott and CIAN MAHER before continuing towards what seemed to be the main group of people gathering. “Felix!! How’ve you been?” he asked crashing into the mercenary before grinning up at him. [break][break]

He proceeded to give a small wave to BARNABY FINCH , Elisabeth Fiorelli, ana fell , and priam conrad before introducing himself. “I’m Mint by the way. You guys got the excitement shakes yet or just me?” he said before looking up at where he assumed the proctors would be hanging about. “Hope bossman doesn’t see me eat it today.” He added, half joking as he waved at Cillian Quinn for a bit, hoping he’d see it before looking back at all the people he has NO IDEA about.

Klaus immediately regretted responding to the invitation he had received - why there were so many people in the room already? Was this all of them? Would there be more? His hands subtly shaking, the young man pulls his hood up further in an attempt to disguise his features. Much to his own annoyance his pulse began to race. This was too awkward. Too much to embarrass himself over.
[break][break]
And yet.
[break][break]
Swallowing hard, Klaus begins to pick at one of his painted nails before quickly shoving his hands into his pockets to keep from fidgeting. He should have brought his headphones. That would have discouraged people chattering at him more than likely, and given him something to focus on.
[break][break]
He was going to have a damn panic attack at this rate.
[break][break]
Observing the group, it seemed several of members present knew each other already. He considers, briefly, grabbing one of the nearest bodies to introduce himself to, but ultimately shrinks back from the crowd the best he can. Better to wait for instructions than make an unmitigated fool of himself in front of so many people.

[break][break]

+ Participating and having a panic attack! He can multitask!

Felix nodded at the blonde's retelling of their first meeting. Now that she mentioned it, he had gone visiting the islands recently, and he did run into someone while over there. "Ah." Though, even with this information, the memory of that time was still relatively hazy. Felix was always the type to forgo anything of insignificance, memories included. It was a habit that often landed him in hot waters, but there was no helping that. There's only so he could remember.

With an awkward pause left between them, Felix hesitant eyes shifted away from the woman. "...I hope your sunburn heals." But just as he said this, another familiar face had entered the waiting area: mint frost. The two were friends? Frankly, the man wasn't quite sure what he'd call their relationship. One second he was told how boring he was, the next they were drunkenly singing along to karaoke classics.

Nonetheless, he greeted the man with a nod. "Okay enough. ...It's good to see you here."

Seemed like it was a party up here, not that she minded. The observation was decked out with goodies she could get herself lost in, like the bar that was stocked full of the good stuff. "A little bit shouldn't hurt." she whispered under her breath and she walked over to order something to ease her into the festivities. She figured she shouldn't do too much since she'd been invited to serve as a test proctor.

A lot of familiar faces were here. Pushes her shades up to rest on top of her head. Her golden amber hues spied her favorites, Cillian Quinn and Martín del Mar standing beside one of the big windows chatting with one another. Deciding to go mingle she slowly made her way over to the pair, not wanting to interrupt their conversation.

"...I’ve never seen some of them in a combat situation before, it should be interesting.” she caught the tail end of what Mars had been saying. Glancing out the window towards where they were looking she spied some familiar faces down below like mint frost and oscar clayton. She frowned at the latter, seemed like he was on death's door. He hadn't looked too bad when they met up for karaoke with Rowan Wrynn and bryan delarosa. She wondered what happened.

"Making bets already?" she asked softly as she took a sip from her glass. It was just a guess towards what the two of them were discussing before her arrival. With a playful pout on her features she sighed softly. "Without me? How could you two be so cruel? You know I'd never pass up a good opportunity to gamble." Her pout quickly melted a teasing smirk. Her way of showing them she was just messing with them.

[attr="class","tctext"] 'Honey business?' Elisabeth's eyes rolled ever so slightly. BARNABY FINCH said the silliest things at the most serious moments. "I was under the impression you'd do anything to leave my company," the blonde said blithely, "given how quickly your Ralts took you out of Slateport." Not that she was resentful about that in the slightest.[break][break]

The blonde did regret bringing so much attention to ana fell, however, unintentional as it was. The way the young woman looked at her was full of confusion, as if uncertain how to place their relationship in this new, confrontational context. Elisabeth couldn't help but struggle with it herself; who knew if the trials ahead would pit them against one another? This was no place for maternal instinct, certainly.[break][break]

Only monsters would flourish here.[break][break]

Which made it all the more baffling that klaus anchoret was here as well, shirking notice in the shadows. She resisted the urge to approach him, having already learned her lesson in that regard with Cyg. [break][break]

Regardless, priam conrad was not entirely wrong -- she did seem, for lack of a better word, inexplicably 'popular.' She had come to Hoenn with no connections to speak of, joining Rocket silently in the shadows. The bonds she had formed with others had been entirely unintentional.[break][break]
With any luck, they wouldn't prove to be fatal flaws in a place like this one.

priam manages to filter through ana fell's negative tones with sheer optimism. "oh, she's a baker? i know people who cook are, like, the best people out there!"

the entry of BARNABY FINCH and Felix Gallagher to the conversation makes a great pivot as they make quick introductions of themselves with their interaction with Elisabeth Fiorelli. the former of the two, however, makes himself more recognizable with his voice and priam manages to piece together his identity with a speed date.

given that he has differently colored hair, priam gives him respect with his private life by not mentioning the aforementioned meeting.

he gives his energetic "hello!" back to Felix Gallagher when oscar clayton approaches him. smiling from ear to ear, he breaks off from the four momentarily to get into story-telling mode with the rocket beast.

"oh, yeah, about that! i placed it on its launcher thing, y'know, the huge ass gun it has on its back? yeah, so, i had it there and tried to test if it'll fire it at, like, mach speed. i thought it would be super useful in case we see one of those big ass blastoise again! so anyways, it fired eventually and it ricocheted all over the room. then i only have a few more minutes to prepare, right? so i asked genny- oh, that's what i call her now. we're close like that- to look for it, and, well, you can ask her where it is."

mint frost enters the scene afterwards, right as soon as he finishes his story with oscar clayton. "ayy! i'm still excited! you know those people out there are bored out of their minds, so they'll probably get something crazy out, i just know it!"

out of the corner of his eye, he spots klaus anchoret being a wreck. he turns to oscar clayton, ignoring the fact that he has a cane, and ribs him with his elbow.

"wanna get that guy here in this party?" he teases the rocket beast. it was just so rare to see someone so vulnerable in rocket, so this opportunity was hard to come by.

Hands clasped at his back, Remiel turns to regard Lulu Flint 's greeting with a nonchalant gaze and a nod. "Flint." He'd grown past the cold and unfeeling person he was when he'd first joined Rocket. But helping spearhead such things seemed to bring that seemingly dour royal again.

Around them, various technicians and programmers helm the control decks as the program for the S.P.E.C.T.R.A. HOLODECK, and the exam it was set it host, was booted and prepared. "At your leisure. You'll find we've employed tech from various sources: Raicorp. Infinity Industries. Silph Co." The last he names comes with a hesitance, but he continues on after without skipping a beat.

Remiel Calcifet and mint frost like this

ana fell's finger guns drew out a bright laugh from Barnaby's lips. "I'll remember that. Luckily, I don't think we'll be tested on our baking skills."

He was about to continue the conversation, but movement at his peripheral goaded Barnaby's attention away. Suddenly, a blue-haired blur slammed into Felix.

An eyebrow was raised at their familiarity, expressing mild but not unwelcome surprise. It was nice to see Felix starting to make friends since coming to Hoenn. Barnaby worried about him getting out, socializing, having fun outside of the work he so dutifully hyper-fixated on. Inwardly, though, he felt a pang of something stirring in his gut. Odd.

"Bee. A pleasure, Mint." A welcome said with his usual casual smile, followed by a small chuckle at mint frost's joke. "Not shaking just yet. I'm waiting to see what they have in store for us."

He glanced at Felix Gallagher momentarily, but remained silent, as another man caught his attention at the edge of their circle. klaus anchoret was here? Now that was more than a little surprising. Barnaby could only hope that he didn't put two and two together like priam conrad.

"That was business, Elisa. I'm talking about simply enjoying each other's company." Again, his gaze fell on the demure blonde. "You bring the tea, I'll bring the honey. It'll be a pleasant time."

If they all made it out of here alive.

“Oh, good. I’m not late.” Rowan strode into the Observation Deck with a slight huff of exhaustion. With Sea Mauville being his primary project, he didn’t have much time for other Team Rocket functions, but he attempted to make time for them when he was able. “Did I miss anything good, yet?” He asked Cillian Quinn as he sidled up next to the Underboss, glancing down into the area below.

“I better not have lost out on the betting or i’ll be pissed.” A small smirk tugged at the corners of his lips, watching specifically to see if mint frost was among those that were being tested in these exams. “My money is on Frost.”

It's hard to tell from up here, but oscar clayton does indeed look a little worse for wear. Just sick, Gavin hopes, still working off the aftermath of their excursion into the Tree of Life like so many others. Still, he inclines his head in agreement with Martín del Mar.

"Still, with Genesect he's likely to shred the competition. I saw that thing nearly take Choi's head off."

He doesn't add that it very well would have, if not for Necrozma's intervention; it's been a decent day, thus far, and delving too deep into thoughts of the light devourer was only going to compromise that.

He sweeps his gaze over Mars' favoured candidates, recognizing none of them. But he makes a note to pay attention for the future.

Rowan Wrynn's entry draws his attention, and he grins before gesturing to the champagne.

"Grab a drink. Still plenty of time to make your bets." mint frost hadn't been in the room when Gavin had earlier made his assessments. One of Chu-e Choi's pet projects, whose training had since passed to him in the event of the underbosses death. He'd half expected Mint to get cold feet but he's impressed to see that he hasn't. He lifts a hand when Mint waves, acknowledging. "I do hope he's stronger than he is smart, at least where common sense is concerned." He scoffs. "Nearly shot him the other day when I found him snooping around in Choi's office, but apparently he was told to."

There's a distant fondness to his smile. Arceus, he missed Chu-e.

To Serena Malcolm, he says, "Not eager to clash with the rest of them?"

She was his protégé, after all, where Mint had belonged to Choi.

Priam's story made Oscar's head hurt, plus it raised more questions than answers. There was a bit to unpack there with mister Conrad, but Oscar put his curiosity aside and turned to Genesect. "So, where's your ball?"

Genesect raised its arms up and down, a possible attempt to shrug. Oscar squinted before shaking his head, raising his shoulders into an actual shrug. He kept doing it until Genesect copied him, and once it had the motion down he nodded. Then he asked again, "Where's your ball?" Genesect shrugged, correctly this time. Oscar patted it on the head, a a gesture it could not feel but still understood to mean it did good. Oscar sighed, "I'll worry about it later then.

Oscar was poked in the ribs, bringing his attention back to Priam. He looked to the panicking man Priam was referring to, and Oscar squinted again as he thought it over. It was always a good idea to make new comrades, even if they were about to viciously compete against one another. Oscar nodded to Priam with a smile before starting his limp over to the shy observer. Naturally Genesect followed Oscar like a shadow.

As Oscar approached, he raised his free hand and tried to get the stranger's attention. "Hey you, with the uhhh highlights? Yeah you!" Oscar chuckled as he got closer, hoping he did not make the poor man even more nervous--even if it would be amusing if he did. "You doing alright there? You look like you're about to shit yourself."

Summer's drink was drunk. Shots were taken. Was it all a bad idea?

Probably.

Would she regret this later?

Oh, absolutely.

But, right now, she had to use the bathroom. She muttered under her breath about needing to use the bathroom, finding one soon enough. However, as she left, she took a wrong turn, her legs managing to carry her further up than she needed to go.

To the control room.

And so, when she opened the door, she didn't see the lounging area she had been at. Instead, there were computers, and there were people she didn't know... and those she did.

"What the fuck? Remy? Mars? What are you two doing here? You should've found me sooner!" Summer chirped in a relatively cheerful manner, walking over to claim a seat.

observing - found her way into the control room somehow bc she's not w/ it

oscar clayton leads the charge, with priam following suit. they hone in on klaus anchoret like a prey in the wilds, though their intent is less than as gruesome as the term implied.

"yeah, frosty!" he parrots, riding on oscar clayton's introduction as he approaches him together. he wonders if frosted tips are still cool and ponders on the idea of getting his hair done like that as well.

"look alive! this is supposed to be a nice bonding experience with your friends! we're all friends here, i think."

he turns and looks around the room, trying to find anyone that doesn't seem to be a friend. so far, no one else has triggered kanto vibes or anything similar.

"hey, hey! this is like auditions for a talent show!" he turns his head upwards to where the executives most likely are. "gotta look juicy in front of the spectators out there!"

priam waves wildly at those above after associating oscar clayton and himself with klaus anchoret before flipping them off (in a nice way), guessing that bryan delarosa was out there. he's bound to get attention now. what a good samaritan that he is, helping new friends attain greatness.

Wholly oblivious to anyone he might have known in the crowd, BARNABY FINCH is quite safe for the time being, Klaus instead wrapped up in knots in his own head. Why did there have to be so many people? Glancing swiftly around the room with deep consideration given for simply leaving, a noise directed in his direction stops Klaus dead in his tracks.
[break][break]
Oh no.
[break][break]
Klaus attempts to sink further back but ultimately fails as oscar clayton and priam conrad round upon him. A barely-heard "What?" sounds from Klaus as he's rounded upon, his hand automatically lifting to touch his hair as it's commented upon. His eyes widen as he's subsequently called "Frosty" and is assured the entirety of the room were friends. Klaus was fairly certain he didn't know anyone here, save Elisabeth Fiorelli, but he couldn't see her.
[break][break]
Realising not a few eyes are now upon him, panic grips Klaus; his throat seized shut and breath temporarily halted as his face turns white as a sheet. He was alone in a sea of people making an absolute fool of himself. Worse, nothing had even started yet. Klaus gives a little shake of his head as Oscar inquires if he's alright. No. No he was not. This was too much - why did there have to be so many people?
[break][break]
Priam's comment about auditions seems to be the tipping point, unfortunately. His stomach roiling, hands shaking, and a thin sheen of sweat evident on his brow, Klaus looks dumbly at Priam for half-a-beat before he turns suddenly, bolting the short distance to a nearby trash can and leans over it. Gripping its sides for dear life the young man heaves up the contents of his stomach, an utterly wretched look overcoming his expression.
[break][break]
"I'm f-" he tries to say before another heave silences him, his hand lifting to indicate just a moment. "I'm fine," Klaus whispers weakly again, a cough sounding from the young man before he spits out a mouthful of stomach acid.

”Hell, I’ve heard some stories, that thing seems bloodthirsty. Cool paint job, though.”
[break][break]
There’s a note of appreciation when speaking of the creature he vaguely remembers from their excursion into the Tree of Life, and not just for its aesthetic appeal. Mars will always value powerful assets, although hopefully the whole “almost chop an underboss’ head off” is a thing of the past now…
[break][break]
If not, that's rather grim.
[break][break]
The thought is pushed aside with a sip of champagne just as Rowan Wrynn and Serena Malcolm make their presence known, and a smirk tugs at his lips when hearing Cillian Quinn’s comment on Rowan’s pick. ”Not a great start, huh? We were just talking about our top picks, my money’s on Co–...”
[break][break]
Conrad. But just as he’s saying this, Mars looks down towards where all the recruits gather, being greeted with no less than the delightful sight of priam conrad waving towards them and then flipping them off a second later.
[break][break]
Little bitch.
[break][break]
”What a brat.” He chuckles, returning the gesture with a grin, only to then immediately turn towards bryan delarosa. ”Hey, Delarosa, I think Priam has a message for you.”
[break][break]
A teasing joke made solely based on how close the two seem to be.
[break][break]
After all, Mars would never assume anyone is flipping him off. That would be unthinkable.
[break][break]
And speaking of unthinkable things… The way Summer Atreides bursts into the control room sure is one he hadn’t expected, but maybe he should have, because the reason why soon becomes clear: she’s drunk.
[break][break]
”Summer, I didn’t know you’d be acting as a proctor today.” His tone is all too calm and nonchalant. Obviously, he knows she’s not and that she probably just snuck in when no one was looking, but there’s no point in mentioning as much. ”Summer, this Underboss Merlino. Gavin, this is a very drunk Summer Prescott.” With this, he smiles.
[break][break]
Honestly, it's all kind of hilarious to him, even if he knows Summer will probably regret all this come morning...
