Cyg had figured she’d well and burnt the bridges tying her to GMH after had recruited her for Rocket, what with the whole fuck you, I quit, door slam in your face, no two weeks notice, wham-bam-no-thank-you-ma’am display on her last day. This was, of course, well before she had ever planned on meeting , but luckily it seemed she was small enough pickles to not travel very far up the grapevine.

So she was a little surprised when they rung her for a job-- not her old job, thankfully, but an unlicensed, under-the-table sidebit. Take your Pokemon, go into New Mauville, free up the generators, wham-bam--

--you get the idea.

For old times sake, she zipped into her GMH onesie, with a blank tank top and workboots. She was pulling her hair into a ponytail as she waited for the other sad sack who got roped into this nonsense to show up.

Yep, just two people, doing maintenance work. Nothing to see here, protestors or reporters.

times were tough. picking up random jobs here and there help patch up holes in his meager income that helps him sustain a hobby. he doesn't really want to drop it if he can.

wolfgang arrives at the area where they were supposed to meet up with someone else that was to do the job with him, with the company that hired him giving the whole 'there's wild pokemon out there. better work in pairs' or some bullshit like that.

he's already learned that if you chose to live in hoenn, you better be prepared for the worst at all times anyways, and wild pokemon weren't exactly on the top of that.

he doesn't even actually plan to meet her and would've just done the job without her knowing. unfortunately, he crosses her on his way. he pauses on his tracks when he meets her eyes.

"oh, yeah, i was s'posed ta meet ya before doin' this whole thing, right?"

the typhlosion behind him stops as well, carrying a bunch of broken, but expensive looking machinery that definitely belongs to the trash for those that don't know which parts to salvage.

Cyg locks eyes with the guy and immediately has it pegged that he wasn’t planning on actually meeting up with her. Her gaze skips to the pile of junk his Typhlosion is carting around, and her pupils dilated, like a raptor focusing in on a prey item.

“‘Sokay,” she says, more interested in the components and pieces he seems to be absconding with. “Whatcha got there?”

It’s an itch, an irresistible urge to break everything into pieces and find the usable bits. A result of years of poverty survival and a head full of gears where brains were supposed to go.

he looks at his pile, and then back to her.

wolfgang feels like he's not obligated to answer, but feels like he really should for the sake of being nice if he really wants to change. with a gruff sigh, he turns back to his pile and enumerates the first few things he sees.

"monitors with a busted fuse or two, old computers that i can salvage processors and shit from, some scrap that are literally heaps of metal, remote controllers and phones..."

he stops and turns back to her. this was the part where he gets judged so he quickly throws out a defensive excuse.

"if they left it here, then it's basically trash, aight? we're free to take 'em as we please."

She listens to him list off things and her eyes tick wider with each component.

“You mean we can just…” she steps in a bit closer to examine things (her voice goes a bit dreamy)-- sees a cluster of wires that she reaches for. She doesn’t try to take them, just drags one finger over their path, turning around the Typhlosion loaded with junk.

“This is-- an old vibroverb kit,”
she says, looking for any of the rest of the pieces, “from a Fender amp. And that’s a… set of brake calipers? But from what?”

wolfgang shrugs.

"i just took 'em. does it matter?"

trash deserve to be trash, and he's already doing them a favor by taking them in. these parts better be lucky he's not selling them as they were and that they are going to be reused for whichever side project wolfgang decides is worth his free time.

he wasn't really good at reading people, but he makes a guess on what she wants from the way she's talking.

"if ya want more, there's a bunch more at the deeper end of this place. the easy ones already got scavenged. 's a buncha wild 'mons there though."

The guy doesn’t seem as into the pieces of pure treasure he’s found as Cyg is. She is, also, rooting through the stuff he’s found and gathered as a result of his own hard work. A scavenger, scavenging a scavenger. The lowest level of low.

She steps back and puts a respectable amount of distance between herself and his Typhlosion’s armload of quote-unquote junk (Cyg doesn’t think it’s junk, not at all).

“Great,” she says, undeterred by his warning and already making up her mind to blast in there and take whatever she can get her hands on. “That’s what we’re here for, after all, isn’t it?”

She gets the feeling he’s not coming with her, like the mission brief promised.

That was fine.

he raises his brow as he gauges the other's disposition. she did know about stuff he's taken, and it only makes sense that she'll go for the same things as he's gone for if she's saying that.

"y-yeah."

should he just leave her there to search for the same things as what he has considering he already stripped most of them from their most valuable, usable parts? he grumbles as conflict stirs inside him.

he figures he might as well stay for a few more seconds for last minute notes.

"once you get in that corridor, turn left. the right storage room's already been stripped clean by yours truly. there's a bunch of rotom there though, so turn off your electronics if you wanna go through easy."

that's his treasure trove gone, but he figures he wouldn't return to this place anytime soon anyways.

“Lots of Rotom. Got it.”

She pulls out her phone to power it down pre-emptively before she forgot and ended up with a fucked battery.

“Thanks for the tip.”
He was giving her a treasure map to his secret stash. That was either extremely good-hearted, or extremely suspicious.

“Do you have a name, O fairy godfather of abandoned electronics?”

he gets uncomfortable with the name question, mostly because he's only used to introducing himself in a professional setting. dating apps and the like already give your name to the other person before you meet, after all.

"w-wolfgang..." he says timidly, before his tone rises up aggressively. "volkov! whaddya need my name for anyways? chances are we ain't gonna meet anyways unless ya go to littleroot."

most of his business across the region is done through the web anyways, so he doesn't feel the need to engage in friendly niceties. doesn't help that he's bad at it either.

his typhlosion continues to walk on, causing wolfgang to release a heavy sigh at the sight. fucker's ready to leave already, he thought,

"if ya need shit, just ask right now. otherwise i'm goin' home."

Cyg grinned. He was very cute. If she wasn’t already taken she would definitely climb him like a tree.

"You know, networking,” she said, with a shrug. "We gearheads gotta stick together. Or something like that.”

Wolfgang’s Typhlosion was clearly ready to go.

"I should be good. Have fun, and thanks for the tip.” She shoved her hands in her pockets and headed on towards the job site, ready to bash some Electric type skulls in.
