ROCKET HOLIDAY PARTY ❄️ (MEGA SOCIAL)

Before the festivities began properly, a brief security meeting was held. At its head was a dog in human skin.[break]
"Alright, guys!" He said with a big, carefree grin. At lease two of the people he addresses are not, in fact, guys. Another two are his bosses. Strange how things work out. "This ship's gonna run smooth tonight! We got everyone here! Which, uh, prolly means every Rocket avytar is in the building. It'd be real dumb for the League to pull some shit, but the real threat..."[break]
Closing his eyes for dramatic effect, he huffed. His Kartana, if no one else, waited on the edge of their seat for him to continue.[break]
"...is somebody pullin' a casino heist. Nobody's makin' off with all the cash while the bosses drink themselves silly!"[break]
So, he prowls the casino. By the time the party properly begins, he's walked its halls top to bottom. Having been here the better part of a year, he knows this place inside and out. With such a great team working so hard to secure the place, he feels content to stay at 's side. Her shadow. Her blade.[break][break]
Eventually, he excuses himself.[break][break]
"Oi. Gonna walk around. Put some gifts under the tree. Say some hellos. Don't worry, keepin' my eyes peeled." The words are spoken in their shared native tongue, a hushed whisper from servant to master.[break]
"You look great, by the way." With that said, he breaks off to mingle.[break]
Up above, two of his Kartana hover near 's unown. They speak to the strange creatures in an alien language. Like their master, they try and mingle. At least two Unown are being distracted from their duties with riveting, pointless drivel about blades and worthless objects.[break]
Standing before the tree, he kneels and lays his gifts. The first, true to the spirit of the party, is a literal white elephant. With lots of income and few practical expenses, he's afforded the privilege to do dumb stuff like this. A carved marble cufant is his gift for some random party goer.[break]
But that is not all he lays under the tree.[break]
For , he places a small, thin package wrapped in delicate silk. Inside is a wakizashi forged by . Alongside it is a note that says 'at your side whenever you need me'. Someone transcribed the message for him. It is addressed to 'Senpai'. Someone has vandalized it to include a heart instead of a dot above the i.[break]
For and , he leaves a broader gift, wrapped in plainer stuff. Inside is a hand-carved image of the two arm in arm, looking out over a Galarian wilderness. Lugia flies overhead. Woodcarving is a skill he picked up in Galar, and he makes use of it still. The gift is addressed to 'Blondie & Brownie' for their hair.[break]
With the gift-giving done, he walks up to and takes a silver drink. Amber eyes scan the room, sensing no threats. Yet. Resolving to make use of the occasion, he turns to the server.[break]
"Oi. New guy. How ya likin' Rocket?

The Kartana regaled Sigma and Zeta: the Unown-S and Unown-Z swirled around them with enthusiasm as tales of heroic battles and legendary blades were spoken into existence in the language of creation.[break][break]
Nomi was oblivious to it, however, too riveted was she by the sudden influx of raunchy texts from . Hearing someone approach, she looked up from her phone, blushing profusely and grinning like an idiot, to see smiling back at her with a complete lack of awareness regarding Nomi's compromised state.[break][break]
"Oh! Aurelie! Hello," she replied, scrambling to regain her composure. A finger idly tugged at one of the ribbons around her neck. "You look stunning, as well."[break][break]
Which was true, in fact. Aurelie's red dress perfectly complimented her fiery hair, and the plain, utilitarian eyepatch she often wore had been replaced by something far more extravagant and bejeweled. It made her whole face sparkle with a certain resplendence. I wonder if she has a date, she thought. If she didn't, certainly someone would ask her to dance, Nomi hoped. Maybe she would have, had she not been so thoroughly ensnared by another.[break][break]
"Miss Hasegawa is quite talented at hosting parties," Nomi continued. "The casino looks fantastic." She paused. "You'll have to excuse me, though, I - "[break][break]
Before she could finish her sentence, however, a blurred purple shape flitted by, ruffling her meticulously curled hair as it passed. Kallistatus intercepted the creature, and as it came to a halt, Nomi laughed, recognizing it immediately as 's devious Poipole.[break][break]
"Penrose! You little sneak," she laughed. "Say hi to Lulu for me, okay? I'll try to find her later."[break][break]
It bounced away noncommittally, suddenly entranced by , who had, arguably, better hair than anyone else in the room.[break][break]
"Anyway, sorry about that, Aurelie. I really do need to - well - I need to find Parker, so, I'll see you later, okay?" She bowed her head apologetically, then scurried away. She pulled out her phone, checking the most recent photo from Parker. Based on her surroundings, she seemed to be on the second floor? Some kind of balcony or alcove.[break][break]
On my way. I wonder what else you'll have for me besides a drink, when I get there? (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

As you wander the floor of the Casino Starlight in search of a bar, you're left to ponder the spectacle of the venue. It's all pretty snazzy, isn't it? Baubles and tinsel and fir trees aside, it's massive, well-staffed, and just generally expensive-looking. And it probably rakes in cash like nobody's business, too! Must be nice, being rich. The owner of this joint is probably swimming in money and poor people's tears. How much tax is this place avoiding, anyway? It's gotta be--

"GAH!" You flinch as a Poipole floats up to you, only to let your guard down as you realise that you recognise the creature. "Oh, hey. It's you. Penrose, right?"

"what a fantastic creature (°〇°)" Meltan reacts with amazement upon seeing the alien, eye wide with wonder. Leaning forth, a metal hand waves furiously, before reciprocating the offered hi-five. "hello friend!"

...Wait, does this mean is here? That thought is enough to make you straighten up a little. Given how she reacted to the prospect of a week off, you really weren't expecting her to make time to be here. She's actually here? Like, here here? Like, physically here in the building? Like, she's--

"GAH!" For a second time in about a minute, you're caught off-guard by a familiar face. is as loud and abrasive and obnoxious as ever, if not moreso than usual. But, well, she is the only surviving Shredette, so you suppose there are worse people to drink with. Still, did she really have to drag you over like that? "Watch it, Xenon! It took the barber four hours to get my hair like this, and I swear, if you mess it up..."

You trail off as you glance around the present company. Unsurprisingly, you don't know most of the faces around you, but your eyes linger on for a moment. You're getting the weirdest sense of deja vu, like you've seen her before somewhere, but where...? Eh, who knows. Maybe your brain is just that fucked up. Or maybe you aren't fucked up enough? Both strong possibilities.

"...Look, if you're going to drag me over here, the least you can do is get me a drink, you weirdo."


DRIP
TL;DR - Shred complains about rich people, recognises the presence of Lulu at the function, is harassed by Xenon, and suffers vague memories of July 8th 2023 at 2:10AM.

Zev had only a few blessed minutes to himself before someone intruded on his balcony. He didn't recognize , but Team Rocket's rank and file was full of anonymous grunts he didn't care to know beyond what they could contribute to the organization.[break][break]

Her first comment to him went unanswered. Instead, he watched her from the corner of his eye, waiting to see if she would turn around and return to the party. One hand lifted his cigarette to his lips. The tip of it burned brighter for a moment as he inhaled.[break][break]

The Beast did give a snort of amusement—or, perhaps, incredulity—when she offered to pay to bum one off him. "Keep your cash," he said as he extended the pack to her.[break][break]

It disappeared back into his suit jacket's inner pocket once she'd taken a cigarette.[break][break]

"You should go back inside. I hear there are Casteliacones."

ROCKET HOLIDAY PARTY



[attr="class","mitmain"]

Immediately upon the assault of not one, but two fellow Rockets, Schuyler felt compelled to answer. Lips curled slightly in a flex of social grace as he answered first. While he had no right to judge dishes, he had to admit that the sauce turned out well. With another bite, he took the opportunity to express the tastes he got -- pasta twirled around the prongs of his fork like garland on the tree their gifts had been placed under.
[break][break]
"Plenty of garlic, but I'm a firm believer that you can never use too much. Just the right amount of oregano and... Rosemary? Thyme? I can't quite place it, but you certainly knew what you were doing with the flavor profile."
[break][break]
A genuine compliment offered to . So the underboss had a knack for cooking? Impressive, he wouldn't have figured Cillian had much interest in culinary arts. But hey, it's not like the criminals that aligned themselves to Rocket's cause ate, slept, and breathed evil. They had to have their hobbies, too.
[break][break]
His Mabosstiff offered a displeased huff, as though it didn't seem fond of the Purugly's company. In fact, the dog even seemed ready to bear its teeth, until a harsh whisper left Schuyler's lips. The dog heeled and sat firm at the blonde's side. As waitstaff made its way by, Schuyler took it upon himself to grab three shotglasses worth of spiked eggnog. One offered to Cillian, to Calpurnia, and then one for himself.
[break][break]
"While I can't give my take on Alto Mare's sauce, I can toast to the fact that the food here looks exquisite -- is exquisite."
[break][break]
He raised his own shot glass in a cheers before he tilted his head back and swallowed the shot down. Fireball weighed heavy on the eggnog, but didn't seem to dilute the flavor in the slightest. It burned going down, but Schuyler didn't seem to mind. A few more shots in him, and he'd probably make his own pass at , who had been so kind to shoot him a compliment.
[break][break]
"You both seem worldly enough. I never got the opportunity to branch myself past Unova. A shame. But c'est la vie, I suppose. But enough about me, what do the holidays have in store for the both of you?"
[break][break]
A polite attempt to spark conversation among the pair.

nikkari fiddles with his watch and gives his wrist a bit of a shake. hoenn's cold isn't very cold. not like ballonlea or motostoke can get in the winter, but it's still chilly enough to put a bit of an ache in his bones. 

so, of course, he languishes at the bar, a glass of bordeaux in hand. his coat hangs off the back of the chair and his sweater sleeves are meticulously rolled to his elbows. one arm curves against the bar, weight resting on that same hip. 

he waits patiently for . a casual wink over someone else's shoulder while she'd been engaged with another had announced his arrival. now his gold eyes wander over the room, sifting over individuals like indulging in a pleasant appetizer, feasting on their mannerisms and quirks in quiet contemplation.

fashionably late, as maybe might have said, jayden arrived at the casino's entrance in little more than his party attire.

[break][break] the admin donned an entirely black ensemble — a jet-black dress shirt with a few buttons casually undone and folded up to his elbows, paired with charcoal gray jeans and polished, deep black oxfords. where many people entered the party with heavy winter coats and scarves that were tossed at the entrance, jayden wore nothing more than his shirt and pants. clothes that were revealing enough to expose his chest scars, displaying the ice shards etched into his skin like indelible scales or unyielding marks.

Howard hated parties, he hated , and he hated his life.

In that order.

Working with Underboss Fiorelli was like tap-dancing in a room plastered with land mines. Every step threatened to get him blown up and locked back in the bathrooms with Wo-chien. A fate worse than death, but a fate not as terrible as organizing a party for Team Rocket's higher ups. So many things could go wrong...

What if ate an appetizer, got food poisoning, and then killed several grunts in a rage? They didn't call the offense admin 'The Cursed' for nothing, after all. Besides, the life insurance was expensive.

"I'm so dead..." Howard groaned as he huddled in the back of Casino Starlight. In one hand, he had his tie. The other had his phone, from which he was texting regarding how many barrels of alcohol were at the counter. The Casino Starlight owner was extremely adept at management. She should've been running this event.

Alas. That would've made Howard's life too easy.

"Alright. Alright! Howard slapped his face with both hands. "Showtime."

Elisabeth had sent Howard a large check to spend on buying a suit. To spite the Underboss, Howard had bought an old-timey suit that had cost next to nothing. He had pocketed the rest of Elisabeth's money, and had silently invested it into artifacts on the black market. What she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.

Assuming the snail didn't tell her. Stupid snail.

Howard entered the floor, and was instantly assaulted by Beast Frost's music. Horrible. Couldn't he pick something classic, like Jorge Frederich Handel?

"Drink." Howard told , eye bloodshot. "Anything. Please."

He did not notice Makoto. It'd help if he had both eyes.

Amor was late, or was he on time? The days blended together to him usually, but that wasn't so bad. Dressed in his usual black kalosian suit, tailored to perfection he entered to the holiday party. Not wearing his usual suit of armor he scanned the room, and saw many familiar faces, and several that he didn't know at all. Accompanied by Draco, his Dragonite he waded through the small crowd where he recognized , and . Seating himself between them, he'd give the exasperated looking Howard a pat on his back.

"Come on man it's a party don't look so miserable." He explained to the artifact genuis, before looking over at Makoto with a nod of his head. "I hope you're enjoying the party more than our friend over here?" Came the soft question as he ordered his own drink. "Whiskey on the rocks please, I'm gonna need something strong to get through this music." He said with another chuckle. He liked well he liked mint as much as he could like him, considering their interactions were few, but he seemed alright if not a bit eccentric. Though everyone in Rocket was a bit eccentric in some way.

"So what gifts did you guys bring? I was going to bring money, but @elisa said that was to impersonal, or not creative or something like that." He rolled his eyes a bit, but shrugged as he waited for their answers.

she sat at the bar and people-watched, waiting to forget her discomfort. a genesect stood out in the crowd before long, painted black with familiar flames. she gave a small wave back, intrigued as always by the well-tuned social behavior of ’s model.[break][break]

’lulu!’ reached her ears then, and as the genesect disappeared back into the crowd, she turned to see the enthusiastic waving of her brother-in-law. her glass was set down as a safety measure, before she felt 's arms predictably wrap around her shoulders.[break][break]

”temp!” she greeted, voice straining a little under his embrace. she returned it looser, before pulling back. ”you look–” a glance at his sweater and she pivoted, ”well.” and it was true. he seemed less morose.[break][break]

her eyes glanced past him, wondering if was following him. however, they landed instead on the surprising face of . her gaze lingered, falling over his attire briefly, before she shifted so she was better hidden behind temp. her attention returned to him with a smile.[break][break]

”so, how’s the promotion been treating you?” she sipped.[break][break]

meanwhile, penrose beamed back at the meltan on ’s shoulder. the ultra beast had yet to be able to spend much time with the one the scientist had acquired.[break][break]

when its two new friends were suddenly pulled off by , it followed quickly, and once caught up, hovered in closer just a moment to readjust the meltan’s paperclip. there. no harm done.[break][break]

turning to xenon, the poipole smiled bright blue and warbled a friendly alien sound, before taking off to body roll through the air about the bar area, infected by the impeccable taste of dj minty fresh. [break][break]

must be getting distracted. it makes sense. who wouldn't want to talk to nomi? still, she frowns down at her phone for a long while before finally pocketing it, feeling somewhat of a lost puppy. she looks upward, at the twinkling lights of the unown and then frowns when one of them rotates and its eyeball slowly rests on her. 

"no telling her. that's cheating," she says and, just to be on the safe side, straightens her tie (makes it crooked and looser) and lopes back down the stairs to the party. 

if she's gonna be at one of these functions, she might as well take advantage of the free drinks and food. she loads up a plate of food and tosses it onto a standing cocktail table and stalks the waiter getting declined by other guests as he tries to offer up his beverages ().

both hands come out to double fist. "yo. look, if no one else wants 'em, i'll take 'em off your hands." her phone buzzes in her pocket, but she doesn't notice, too busy grinning wolfishly as she eyes what will soon be her prize.

though she doubts would like that.

priam saunters in to the party with his christmas outfit: a sweater with the print of the iconic, but newlyrevamped-after-distortions, rudolph the red-nosed wyrdeer.

on one side was his gabite, wearing a top hat and a bow tie. on the other was a crudely wrapped present that went straight to the pile of gifts. it looked out of place compared to the boxed gifts and pretty envelopes.

it wasn't what the party is about though. it's about the nice bonding experience of all the nice people of rocket having a nice get together all in one room. surely, it won't be a bad idea to put all miscreants of society in one location.

"where's my boy oscar at?!" he shouts at his entry. "i miss you, man!"

it was unlucky that he kept missing for any rocket function, but if there was one place he wouldn't miss him, it would be at this party.

tl;dr
  • enters the party with his gabite
  • leaves his gift next to the pile of other gifts
  • shouts for oscar
  • open for interactions

Time passes and more guest stop by to swipe their own drink from his arrangement of options. Some, like and , were kind enough to pluck their own pickings from the plate. While others -- particularly the creepy fucker sitting near him ( ) -- thought it fine to bark orders at him, as if the word 'drink' was enough to spur some sense of action within him.

"It does make sense," Steven tried to nod thoughtfully, but his expression fell a tad flat, airing out the bitterness between his teeth. If this seemed like a lot, should see the chore list tacts onto him. The money these people like to spend is beyond insane. "Given starlight's reputation."

He eyed them curiously while passing his random drink. "Why? Do you not enjoy parities."

By the time the glass left his fingers, a new figure joined his peripheral ( ). One that didn't seek gifts, but rather, company. A new experience for someone like him.

Glancing at the guy, the newly recruited grunt weighed his options. To a question like that, there were only two choices to choose from. Either he: A, enjoyed his time at rocket, or B, hated it.

"The pay is good," He decided, "Couldn't ask for anything more, really." The sweet nature of being on duty still sugarcoated his words -- you can never be too safe in a room full of psychos. And, speaking of psychos, another challenger appeared: this one, an alcoholic.

"Take as many as you please."

The woman looked familiar. Almost as if he was warned of her somehow...

Cautious, he tipped the still filled plate of glasses toward , offering its limited selection.  Not much has changed in the last few seocnds.

"Just try not to spill too much. (because then I'll have to clean it up)"

"That's fine. You can pay up later tonight, then." There was quite a laundry list of things she'd promised him in their escalating series of bets. But knew that would make good on what she owed, no matter how much she huffed in the interim. [break][break]

"Enjoy the rest of the party." He called out after her — parting words that were fondly invoked to the underboss' back as she stomped away to 's bar.[break][break]

Elisabeth's exit left him in want of someone else to play with. He leaned back in his chair, scanning the room at large from the poker table he'd sponsored. Many familiar faces materialized from the crowd, though there were just as many strangers as well. That was a given, considering the size of their organization.[break][break]

Admin Bee hoped to become acquainted with at least a few more members tonight.[break][break]

Speaking of, a newer ROCKET happened to hook his attention, in no small part because he had something Barnaby wanted, silver platter and all. Though he was occupied with others, if managed to catch his eye would beckon him over for a drink. And maybe a small chat, too.

"...Ah. Non-alcoholic. Of course."[break][break]

Hadn't she signed off on the boba tea bar? How embarrassing to forget the details of her own event.[break][break]

Elisabeth stared down at the coffee boba the little Clefairy fetched for her, debating the merits of rejecting it in front of the woman who was sponsoring her own party, when a flask from an unexpected source was slipped into her hand.[break][break]

"Well," she said finally, sensing the Pokemon was waiting for a reply. She cleared her throat. "Thank you, Clefairy."[break][break]

Hm. An immunity to toxins meant perhaps she could mix a stimulant and a depressive without issue, no?[break][break]

This backwards logic invited her to take a sip of the boba out of politeness and pleasantry, while she drank the flask the moment 's back was turned.[break][break]

"Are you also looking to enjoy some boba, then?" she asked, turning towards and @vanessa. An eyebrow arched curiously, regarding them each with a cool sweep of her green eyes. They lingered a little longer on Vanessa, admiring her own outfit for the evening, before flitting back up to measure them both. "Or did you want audience with an underboss for some reason?"[break][break]

Across the room, she caught sight of at his empty poker table, and decisively took another swig of the whiskey to avoid eye contact. [break][break]

[break]

TLDR:[break]
- Awkwardly accepts the boba from Xiura's Clefairy.[break]
- Drinks both a caffeinated beverage and alcohol, surely nothing can go wrong.[break]
- Asks Aloe & Vanessa what they want.[break]
- We are definitely not keeping an eye on Admin Bee BECAUSE WE TOTALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM, hmph. Why would you even think that?! God!
