Littleroot Town. It'd been several months since the fire broke out and swallowed up the city's beauty. And yet, despite the harrowing aftereffects of this event, there hasn't been any result from the league, or the police. Nothing. Nada.
[break][break]
So, here she was, doing their job for them.
[break][break]
"Over here," Clear and crisp, Penelope's voice rang over the continuous sound of construction, urging for the blonde to follow. In a pair of overalls, with a white crop top underneath and one strap unclipped, the reporter waved her arm and smiled. When he grew close, she'd shyly pull back a strain of her hair behind her ear. "Hey."

littleroot is not somewhere cian ventures to often. it's small, quiet, and isolated, which makes it perfect for a getaway and not much else. he's still a city boy at heart, after all.[break][break]

but for penny, he'd venture almost anywhere.[break][break]

cian had not been courageous enough to show up in overalls. instead, he wears a flannel shirt and jeans only to find himself quickly rolling up his sleeves to combat the warmth.[break][break]

"hey," he says with a smile, greeting her with a quick kiss.[break][break]

"so, what are we doing today?"

Penelope would've been confused if he had told her that overall comment, because, well, it looked damn cute on her.
[Break][break]
Smiling, she returned his kiss.
[Break][break]
"Well," clasping her hands together, she used the balls of her feet to twist towards the overgrowing of trees near the outskirts of town. Damage from the fire was still apparent from there-- markings on tree, scorch marks on the grass, the whole nine yards.
[Break][break]
"First things first: you know about the fire that happened a while back, right?"

the overall comment was meant only for him. for her, she looks really cute in them, but he doesn't get a chance to slip that compliment in as she begins explaining.[break][break]

"yep. burned down a good portion of the town."[break][break]

really sad stuff. he did hear of a local slateport cop who risked his life to rescue his brother. never made it into the news, though. he wonders why.[break][break]

"Arceus no," She laughed, "we're here to find the fucker who caused them."
[break][break]
Her tone soured as she stared out towards the scorched-up pathing in front of them.
[break][break]
"The league hasn't done shit. It's been months and there haven't been any advancements in the case."
[break][break]
It sucked. She knew the league was filled with incompetent shitters, but still, she expected more than this.
[break][break]
Turning, she looked towards him, a slight smile PLAYING on her lips.
[break][break]
"Sorry I dragged you out here without telling you. I just...thought you might lighten up the mood a bit."

cian is all too aware of the league's failures as they have been made abundantly clear to him by the masses in rocket. the league this, the league that; it's reached the point where he simply tunes them out.[break][break]

but he understands the frustrations. people deserve better than this. better than the burned-down crops that were one someone's livelihood.[break][break]

"i can do just that."[break][break]

lighten up the mood, he means.[break][break]

he nudges her on her shoulder, playful as he smiles.[break][break]

"where should we start?"

The light nudge caused her smile to instantly grow further up her cheeks.
[break][break]
"Well," She took several steps forward, yet again, only stopping as she reached the central point of the encirclement of broken branches and burnt-out shrubbery.
[break][break]
"To get you up to speed: I've been going over some of the recorded accounts from that night. They mentioned a man -- the source -- being found here, wearing a wolf mask..."
[break][break]
Her voice trailed off and her brows furrowed tightly into a knitted line.
[break][break]
"Casino Robberies, attacks on government officials-- it all leads to the same man. I've been...following him for a bit now, but still no luck."
[break][break]
She paused, again, this time taking a moment to look back up at Cian.
[break][break]
"Maybe we could find something here? A hint, maybe."

a wolf mask.[break][break]

though cian has been doing his best to stay out of rocket affairs, he's high up the ladder enough to have heard of the man behind the wolf mask. more importantly, their identity:[break][break]

bryan delarosa. rocket beast. himbo.[break][break]

only being pulled out of his thoughts when she looks at him, he nods, forcing a practiced smile even if he hates doing so.[break][break]

"um, yeah. maybe."[break][break]

he peers down at the ground, searching.[break][break]

"maybe he left something behind? like tracks or a cigarette or something."

"That's what I'm hoping for," She sighed, peering down at the ground in a similar fashion. "From all the recounts I read, he first appeared here, but ended up going," Eyes closed, the woman gave it a second of thought before gesturing to their left, "that way. Towards the graveyard."
[break][break]
It'd been a month since she first picked up this case, and so far, she had found less than zero luck. The man felt more like an annoying phantom plaguing the region than an actual person.
[break][break]
Crouching down beside a particularly interesting indent in the dirt, Penny gave it a look before sighing again. "Apparently the guy is tied to Rocket, too." At this point, she was just venting out her thoughts. Whether Cian decided to reply or not didn't matter, as all she really wanted was someone to listen to her rambles. "If I find one thing to pin him down with..."

while she rambles, cian's mind wanders to the possibilities, settling on one question in particular:[break][break]

if and when she finds bryan delarosa, what then? arresting him would likely end the same way arresting THEO BECKETT had ended. no matter how he looks at it, he sees corruption. unless the order comes from the top-down, himbo bryan would likely be set free.[break][break]

shit sucks, to say the least.[break][break]

he looks at her, nodding at the end of her rambles.[break][break]

"how long have you been on this case?"

"Hmm?" Tilting her head upward, she smiled at Cian, a wave of comfort washing over her features from his voice alone.
[break][break]

"About a month now, or so. But I've been following rocket for a bit before that."
[break][break]

Team rocket. Unlike some of the league, she didn't completely despise the organization or disregard them as simple terrorists. They were terrorists, and she did hate what they've done to her home, but she didn't disregard them.
[break][break]

Because their passions beat to the same tune hers did.
[break][break]

"I'm still so surprised they were able to capture Sootopolis City. Like, I dunno, I get being angry with the league -- I really do-- but surrendering to them? It's just so ridiculous."

"it really is, yeah."[break][break]

though he doesn't voice it, his passion beats to a different tune. he sides with the league now despite all the wrong they've done, and, fuck, he'd side with them until the day he dies because that beats being in rocket.[break][break]

anything beats being in rocket.[break][break]

"but it's crazy to think just how badly the league must've failed them. i mean, siding with rocket is extreme. it definitely wasn't an overnight decision, you know?"

Penelope's face scrunched up in response.
[Break][break]
Despite her feelings, despite her sympathy, there weren't many excuses for joining terrorists.
[Break][break]
Maybe if they were born into, sure, but other wise? No fucking way.
[Break][break]
"The league does a lot wrong, yeah, but to blame them for joining an organization full of extremists and criminals? I don't know... "
[Break][break]
She shrugged, her eyes returning back to the ground.

"I've just never been a ends justify the means kinda girl, though. "
