What the fuck? What the fuck?! [break][break]

Bryan's glance turns over to walsh as a small anger is evident in his eyes, yet he calms them as it was pointless to get mad. Walsh already threw the option out there. He lets out a long frustrated sigh. "We learn that there's a fucking new SOURCE of energy under the town and people want to vote for another place instead?" as he tries to keep his temper in check. [break][break]

A small glimmer of hope remained in some people seeing the same view he did as Elisabeth Fiorelli pointed out the same thing. "We gain nothing by occupying pacifidlog, a bunch of houses tied by tree trunks." he comments. "And mossdeep. It's at least better than taking pacifidlog and it has the space center. But we already have rocket agents already stealing the league's research for our own purposes." he comments looking to Walsh and co as Bryan reminds the group of priam conrad 's role in the organization. [break][break]

"I know Littleroot like the back of my hand, every tree, stump, rock. We could transform that little country town that the league forgot about into a "utopia" Show them how great things can be under our rule like Kanto. There is a LOT of untapped potential. We can end up using all the space to grow produce for those suffering from a lack of supplies in Sootopolis. Elisabeth Fiorelli can conduct more research on her crystablooms on a place where they can more easily grow or find it." he says as he catches himself going on and on as if they already had littleroot in their grasp. [break][break]

"All I'm saying is we'd be stupid to not occupy a space out opponents basically forgot about that we can put to very good use." he says a small root from a random tree somehow burrows it's way out of the ground as Bryan and Xerneas used their powers to pull it from the earth. It then stretches over to the grunt that represented his choice, LITTLEROOT.

notes about this post

MADE BY MIZO

The meeting is not bringing anything new to light that Cyg didn’t already know.

She doesn’t like Raphael Pryde .

The charismatic amongst them (like BARNABY FINCH ) want to use this as an opportunity to gain public trust.

Some people want to ally with Sea!Hoenn which seems asinine, but whatever. Go little rockstar and all that.

mint frost suggests rolling over and displaying their stomach for the League which is… both the better and the worse option.

Isaac Merlo surprises her by vouching for the join sea!Hoenn plan and she looks at him, puzzled and concerned. “That’s… that’s a lot of risk,” she says, “a lot of what-ifs.” And sure, in the moment, she’s more than willing to jump in headfirst and risk it for the biscuit, but in these anxious, pre-planning periods…

…she squeezed Isaac’s hand. Ultimately, whatever they chose, she’d go with him, stupidly, divinely devoted.

Frankly, Sea!Hoenn had nothing to lose from the meteor and everything to gain, on both a small and large scale. They were a pack of wolves that Cyg felt were comfortably distant, for now. She thought they should focus on the emergency at hand and deal with the other shit later, if/when it came around.

Martín del Mar at least was very right that they were all running out of time. That, Cyg reflected, should be the focus point for this meteor meeting.

Terse words went back and forth between Bee and THEO BECKETT ; they were both right, unfortunately. Cyg didn’t feel all too good about the whole coup in the midst of crisis thing, either, but… when would they have a better chance? Wasn’t that the part of her that had looked Theo in the eyes and said not legally when he recruited her? You know, like a dumbshit?

Then Walsh jumps in and shuts a lot of shit down, at first. We can trust the League. Then he goes absolutely batshit and says we’re going to the moon, Alice. Oh, also we’re taking over Littleroot. And attacking a Primal Point.

“What the fresh hell…” Cyg mumbles, eyebrows furrowing. “That’s-- that’s so much.”

And maybe that was the point?

Isaac brings up a good note about stealing a back-up Primal Point instead of an active one, but it’s counterintuitive to Walsh’s plan to disrupt the-- the teleport ritual, for lack of a better word-- long enough for the people on the Meteor to mine it and get out (which was still. Absolutely batshit. What an idea.)

People start voting for what Point to attack and Cyg’s heart sinks because Petalburg is the most popular for a long time, until someone throws out Mt. Pyre and people start leaning that way, instead.

Felix Gallagher opens his mouth and disagrees with the whole shebang, which. Whatever, he’s got a point, but if anything, that just makes her want to go against what he’s saying.

She exhales, focuses in on Elisabeth Fiorelli . She was the important one. What she said, Cyg would follow.

Theo has to macho man in on Felix and does the whole women want me fish fear me thing again and that Bryan guy spouts off about how Rocket’s assets won’t be good in a cave or some shit, like Avatars are the only important thing here.

“Cillian Quinn ’s right,” she says (had she said that already), “we’re, like. We’re trying to be new, right? We’ve been actively purging the old, bloodthirsty Rockets. Why would we just… relapse?”

She listens as Isaac speaks and, like, damn, when did he get so fucking smart? Her grin at seeing the Doublade do its thing is literally large and bright enough to possibly blow the meteor to smithereens. She also didn’t see what the point was for Littleroot except it was important to that one Avatar guy which seemed paltry in comparison to places with an actual tactical advantage.

Elisa steps up and lays down some amazing knowledge and Cyg’s heart sings with-- just. A whole bunch of feelings. May cooler heads prevail, and Elisa’s got the coolest head she knows.

Mars spouts some bullshit about conquering and Cyg’s face falls, a little. Back to that dilemma of does she really want to be a conqueror? And, like, yes, she does. But in the face of global catastrophe? Seems like a cheap shot, doesn’t it?

Chu-e Choi voices what Cyg’s been thinking for a while: a lot of this seems like a Rocket pissing contest that would be detrimental to their operations as a whole-- i.e, fucking, conquering.

She loves Chu-e Choi, she thinks, in that moment.

It takes every bit of conditioning in her to not heave a sigh of relief when they choose Mt. Pyre instead of Petalburg.

She listens to the captured Megalopolan general, and then to what oscar clayton says after; and despite her general hero worship of Oscar Clayton, she finds she really can’t put stock in the weight of the words from a cannibal space invader from another world.

She squeezes Isaac’s hand again and drops a Pokeball, releasing her GENGAR, who bounces over to stand next to the MOSSDEEP grunt.

Mint covered his mouth to hide a snicker at Walsh's use of podunk. But Walsh sweetened the pot at least. His interest is piqued. He gave a look at Lulu Flint to see her reaction. He grinned once more at Ruby Garcia, undeterred by her terse response. And he laughed at Isaac Merlo before whispering back, "I'm getting help so no worries." [break][break]

Though this quickly subsided as the meeting moved on and Walsh revealed the captured Megalopolan. His eyes go wide, and his bones seems to ache. A shiver ran down his spine. He'd not had the pleasure to see one of the invaders in person. He just knew they were- well man-eaters. And not in the sexy Daryll Hall and John Oates kind of way, unfortunately. That'd be way cooler. "What's in it for VELMOS?" he asked, smiling at oscar clayton, though his eyes are locked onto the Megalopolan themselves. "What'd we promise you, General?" [break][break]

His eyes whip around as more added to the conversation. "You want to do what-?" he asked in disbelief. "Utopias don't exist, and bolstering a burnt out town is a lot of resources in exchange for- what? An unknown energy source we don't know if we can control? Shouldn't Dr. Raphael Pryde and Dr. Lulu Flint get time to figure out if it's even harmful to humans and pokemon, but not Megalopolans? Or- like- Can we contain it? How long would that take? At the very least, let me take the Primal Handheld Dr. Flint fixed up for me and verify it's not primal energy before you build a whole operation around it." he looked over at the heads of the science department before back at bryan delarosa. "Admin Elisabeth Fiorelli can conduct crystalbloom research anywhere in Hoenn. It's not like they're proven to grow better in Littleroot." he glanced at the pair of admins. "Unless...?" [break][break]

"New energy sounds cool, but if we can send a stealth group to attack a primal point then why not the same to retrieve this energy later and focus on a better target? Especially since Little is so 'forgotten' by the League. Besides, wouldn't us occupying Littleroot make the League more interested in whatever we're sitting on? No one's gonna believe it's outta the goodness of our hearts." He glanced over at ana fell. "We're criminals, not a charity fund." [break][break]

And then there's the strange outburst. It doesn't sound particularly pro-Rocket to him. Kanto had left its mark on many of the people he knew in the organization, but he hadn't seen something as bad as this before. Mint's eyes darted to look at the girl who'd just cut through the din of conversation and debate. "Gods, Eris Halla- who's side are you on?" As he said this, a pink little bastard scurried his way to hang out near the Mossdeep grunt.
