GET IN SYGNA WITH FERNANDO SILPH

[attr="class","frannmain"]

earlier that morning she'd asked fernando if he had a sort of spare moment that day to appease her questions about a sygna suit. she'd looked into getting one multiple times, but boy were they expensive and super not easy to come by. that being said, she wanted to test it out and see if she could even handle it before she dropped the PD on it.[break][break]

with a happy skip i her step, she approaches the silph co. elevator and gets in. she hits the button for his office and bounces in place on her heels. lincoln walks beside her, who she knows she'll be using to help her get used to the suit.[break][break]

in her hands she holds a small box. it's a gift she'd gotten for him. silly, sure, but she'd thought about him while she was out and about in another region and gotten him something accordingly.[break][break]

though she nearly threw it out twice out of childish spite, she figures nows as good a time as any to give it to him![break][break]

the door gives a ding! to show she's reached the floor and she exits, heading past the office and to his door. she peers in, slowly having opened the door and blinking honey colored yes at him.[break][break]

she's always been unorthodox in her meetings, why would that ever change? lincoln pokes his head out below her and his tail starts wagging in excitement at the sight of fernando.[break][break]

"you're supposed to be off right now, ferny." she scolds as she opens the door more. "not working yourself to death in here, are you?"[break][break]

lincoln trots over to fernando to give him a greeting. nothing physical, just to sit and stare at the man while wagging his tail.

FERNY-SENPAI

MISSION

“I’M ON BREAK,” he answers defensively, enraptured with his monitor. this time, she finds him not typing. instead, he’s reading, an obvious tell in the way his eye moves from left to right. the sprawl of text refracts off his reading glasses.

his room is as empty as ever. hoenn may change but fernando’s office does not. the sparse decorations are all trinkets from others. the cacnea plushie from Remiel Calcifet’s dead lover, the discarded arrangement letter from Elisabeth Fiorelli, even a framed image of kyle lopez’s guild ranking in blade and bulwarks finds its place in a corner.

“how can i help you, myrtle.”

"myrtle?" she looks around, makes a show of it. "my name's francie."[break][break]

not that he'll look her way, but she wiggles sheepish brows at him and partners them with a grin equally as wily.[break][break]

instead of handing him the box, she turns her attention to his office and glances around. she then makes her way over to him and his desk, not looking at his screen. reading over people's shoulder is rude... she's curious though and she has to look at the screen to see at least the time to satiate the curiosity that builds.[break][break]

"i wanted to ask you if you have a sygna suit simulator. i've heard real good things, but it's a chunk a change, y'know?"[break][break]

as she speaks, explaining herself, she sets the box down and then opens it for him. within are two cuff links; ones that can, in fact, host megastones. yeah; they're mega-cufflinks my dude.[break][break]

"so i figure, you're like me. you wanna trial things before you buy 'em. of anybody i know, you're the guy who'll have a simulator or like a trial suit or something; or at least know of a place where i can find such a thing."[break][break]

she slides the opened box between him and the computer with a smile.[break][break]

"also, i had these made out of some ore i mined with my sibling."

MISSION

“A SYGNA SUIT SIMULATOR DOESN’T EXIST.”

the sound of a single click punctuates his sentence. the wave of his hand highlights a block of text.

“not a viable one, anyway. the rest don’t capture the dynamic bond between trainer and pokemon.”

only when she opens the box does he spare it a glance. a single finger runs across the material. sleek to the touch. shiny against his florescent light.

“SYNC STONES cannot be replicated. however, we have a few here at silph co.”

he shuts the lid to the box.

“did you want it?”

"...what?"[break][break]

it's a rhetorical what. one of those times where her brain has to work out what he said a few times to try and find words to express the emotion that completely blindsides her.[break][break]

"ferny," she immediately laughs after her 'what' and then makes a face at him. "you can't just give me a suit, they're expensive."[break][break]

yeah she just gave him custom made mega-cufflinks, but she doubts she'll wear them and if anything they'll end up on the desk or in a drawer or who knows he might forget they exist. this is what she tells herself. because she's horrible to her own kindness, belittles it.[break][break]

"i don't mind buying my own. i just wanted to like..." well now she feels silly, but she wants raw authentic connection in her life now, so she boldly allows herself to be raw.[break][break]

"i wanted to make sure i'm able to handle a suit, and like, compatible with one, before i buy it."[break][break]

her eyes find his as she speaks, honey eyes losing their usual sheen of optimistic sunshine for a more serious does of reality.

HEARING THOSE WORDS IS A SPLASH OF COLD WATER TO THE FACE. innate disgust bleeds through the paper thin veil of a suppressing frown. whatever attention she was hoping to steal away from him suddenly has him at full attention.

“compatibility is created through use,” he segues, ignoring her earlier comment altogether. “you won’t be able to tell just by putting it on once or twice. you need to use it extensively with your pokemon. if your bond fails to deepen, then you’ll know that you weren’t compatible.”

FERNANDO SILPH

[attr="class","frannmain"]

the way he looks at her has francie startled. she flinches, watching the sudden — was that passion? — move through fernando's features. she can't help the way it makes her smile, because passion's always fun to see from somebody that's usually so poised.[break][break]

"well i mean, that's good then, if it's based off of compatibility with a pokémon." she looks to her lycanroc with a grin and lincoln just wags his tail at her in return. "cause i was gonna use lincoln here for the first run through! i'd use lyonel but he likes to sleep during the day."[break][break]

she pops her booty off of his desk and moves over to lincoln, giving him a few snuggles and kisses, his fur unbearably soft for a rock type. only those pieces of him that are stone would be sharp enough to hurt, and even then they'd have to have energy surrounding them to do any real damage to her calloused skin.[break][break]

because she's used to things being rough. she's accustomed to it, and the challenge of this suit is no different.[break][break]

"i still don't want you to give me one, though. i can buy it...e—uh—eventually." and cue the sheepish grin.

MISSION

“CONSIDER IT A LOAN.”

an investment that he’ll eventually collect on. she may have quit working under him but this presents another opportunity to have her under his thumb. while, admittedly, it’s not even close to the scope of having her under his employment, he’ll be able to recoup his loss.

it’s all about waiting until she’s ripe for the taking.

“we can also facilitate your bonding until it’s at a level suitable for field work,” he adds. “which is why acquiring these sygna suits are so difficult. it’s not merely a matter of plugging and playing.”

[attr="class","frannmain"]

her expression deadpans at the mention of a loan.[break][break]

"you might as well tell me i'm in ferny-jail."[break][break]

she knows well what a loan owed to FERNANDO SILPH means. it means that you owe him a favor and he'll cash it in like he used to order her around before. she'll do so gladly, without having to owe him, even.[break][break]

it would be a rare case if he asked her to do something she wouldn't. he was always so aware of her limits and always tasked her in the ways she was best; she appreciated that about him, amongst other things.[break][break]

"i knew it was complex just from the different things i've read and witnessed. most of the science goes," she motions over her head. "way over my pay grade," that's not the saying francie...[break][break]

"but! that's why i came to the smartest—" and most technologically and financially advanced individual— "i know! thanks ferny."[break][break]

cue the sunshine smile that could melt the coldest of hearts; or so she'd brag, but it seems it can't melt his. perhaps his is made of metal, though.

EVEN THE STRONGEST STEEL IS MALLEABLE. so too does fernando seem to fold underneath her constant pressure. the twinge of a smile—or frown, it’s quite impossible to tell with him—curls from the corner of his lips. whichever it is, he hides it with a stretch of a long neutral. a flatline that holds his trademark blank slate.

“i’ll have someone reach out to you then. did you need anything else, myrtle?”
