Her entry into the club is uncharacteristically quiet for the bombastic Grunt as she slides through the doors like a ghost, a large backpack hefted over her shoulder as she slips past a trio of unruly men roaring about how much ass they kicked in the Ultra Deep. She didn't particularly care for all the noise these idiots were making, even the party itself was rather boring to her, not nearly ultramodern enough to sate her wild desires. But that's okay, she wasn't here to party either, she had a very specific goal in mind as she creeps towards the DJ's setup with a malicious grin.
[break][break]
It's violent, it's loud, it's abrupt, it's just her kind of entrance. The music cuts without warning and all eyes turn to the DJ's booth, where Xenon stands over a bound and gagged man who had once been running the music. "Alright you primitive bones for brains losers! Listen good and listen hard, cause I've got some words for anyone here with even an ounce of ambition!"
[break][break]
The TVs all flicker from whatever channels they had been on, the same image displayed on each as Xenon continues. The Paradox Pokemon designated as Iron Jugulis. "All of you who actually showed up and put some work in at the Ultra Deep, I'm sure you recognize this badass! Or you at least saw something like it! A machine from the future, a war machine that tore its way through all your teams and took all your strength just to tie down and capture! And I know some of you captured them, cause I was able to grab hold of that future and capture it for myself!" She pulls out a Pokeball and displays it to everyone in the club, voices begin to murmur as they wonder if she's going to release that monster inside the room right now. But she doesn't, she tucks the Pokeball back into her jacket and continues.
[break][break]
"Now I'm not saying we shouldn't be having a good time, Arceus knows I love a good ultramodern party after I fuck shit up! But what I'm here to say, is that I'm not content with just capturing these things! These machines! And make no mistake, that is what they are! They're machines! And if there's one thing I know better than anyone, it's that we Rockets can MAKE machines!" The implication is clear as she stares out into the crowd with manic eyes. "So if any of you have caught one of these machines, find me at the labs! With your help, I say we can make a whole fucking army of these things! And then each and every one of you boneheads can get a taste of the future, Rocket Style!" The mic is dropped onto the lap of the DJ, she hops down from the stage and parts the crowd as they all continue staring. And then she parks her ass down at the bar. "Alright, you can all get back to your stupid little party now. I'm done!" And so the music goes, leaving that one seed of an idea in everyone's brain.

Can pokemon really be mass produced like that?

Dorian didn't appreciate the interruption, not one bit.

The fact that she attacked and trussed up his DJ was another matter entirely. As she hopped off the stage, Ogita would get to work in freeing the DJ. Dorian would approach the woman hurriedly.

"Just what do you think you're doing, attacking my staff!? And I'd prefer it if you watched your language in my club!", Dorian scolded the woman.

"What do I think I'm doing? Uhh, advertising obviously? You never done that before, put up a little sign talking about what kinds of events you're gonna be doing next week?" The way the woman looks at Dorian, it all but shouts how stupid she thinks he is in that moment as she loudly sips a glass of water she had procured from somewhere (or someone), an amused smirk as she lets him vent his frustrations before continuing. "Also, isn't it a little silly asking me to not say shit or fuck when we're all literally criminals and terrorists? Seems like a weird standard to uphold, but if you want to do that then good for you I guess. Just don't try and force your stupid standards on me." This is a woman who would not bend in the face of anger, she would only push back harder and harder.

"You can advertise without assaulting my staff!", Dorian retorted, glowering at her.

He would continue to look on in irritation as she insulted him. "Because this is my domain! And we're not just criminals or terrorists, we're Rockets! We are the rightful rulers of this world! And I think we should show some decorum!", he'd retort.

He did not mind locking horns with this brat. And if he had to be the one to teach her a lesson, he'd gladly do so.

"Yeah, and you can have a party without drugs, but its gonna be a pretty lame party. Same goes for advertising." Xenon replies without even a hint of sarcasm, violence was simply the best way to get attention in her mind.
[break][break]
And then he goes off on his whole little tangent about decorum and being the rightful rulers and blah blah blah, at this point Xenon can't help but snicker at the way too serious guy yelling at her, he was just too damn funny! "Wow, you're really up your own ass! Rightful rulers of the world? Seriously? You've got a serious case of god complex going on there buddy, you're not some misunderstood prince fighting for his divine right of kings. You're a murderer hanging around in a club filled with other murderers, we just got done murdering a bunch of sad losers who were getting in our way, and you should really be thankful I didn't murder your buddy and I instead just tied him up. Not trying to be edgy, but you should get over your weird ass delusions if you want to actually make it anywhere in the new world."
[break][break]
Guys like this pissed her off, running their mouths on and on about nonsense like rights and what should and shouldn't be, preconceptions and concrete rules that they never bent away from. You need a flexible mind to make it in life, a mind that could adapt to the future, and this guy was so stiff a hard breeze would probably snap him in two.

"You wanna do extreme advertising? Fine, just don't attack your fellow Rockets, especially not my staff!", Dorian grumbled. "Plenty of League enforcers, or meddlesome civilians, to use to convey the same point!"

Dorian scoffed at the woman's words. What did she take him for, anyway? "You think I don't know that? I know exactly what we are. Conquerors! Using any means we can in order to unite the world under our thumb! Whether it's bloodshed, or deception, the future is with Rocket! And if you don't start treating your teammates with respect, the only future that awaits you is in pieces, inside of a smoldering oil drum!", Dorian barked back at the woman.

"That's not extreme! If I'm using just any old civvie I grab off the street, that's to be expected from us. It's only extreme when I go outside the bounds of what's expected and approved, it gets everyone's attention when- you know what this whole conversation is getting boring for me." Xenon cuts herself off mid sentence, reaching over the bar counter and grabbing a bottle of vodka for herself. "Listen you blowhard, your whole view of this thing we've got going on here is idealistic to the point of insanity. You think of Rocket as some noble organization meant to raise you up high and put you on a throne, conquering the land in some valiant crusade against the League and uniting the nation like some modern day Nobunaga. You think we all need to have respect for each other as fellow soldiers of fortune, that camaraderie and a good heap of respect for each other will carry us through the night."
[break][break]
She pops the lid from her bottle and takes a healthy swig in between sentences, letting the dramatic tension build as she reaches her overall point. "Here's the truth of it, plain and simple. Rocket is held together by respect for power. I don't like my bosses, I think they're a bunch of blowhards honestly and I'd love to knock em down a peg. But I can't because they'll kick my ass six ways to Sunday, so I remain an obedient little dog, barking on command and attacking who they want attacked. And that's how it goes for every single one of these grunts begging for table scraps, we're all held together by a mutual respect for power. So if you want to whine and complain about how I don't have any respect for my teammates, think about how they're so fucking weak that I had zero issues knocking them out and tying them up in a minute and twenty seven seconds flat. You want my respect? Fucking earn it."
