Click. Click. Click.

Flint struck steel three times before a flame burst to life. The cigarette sparked and smoldered for several moments as the admin indulged in cheap tobacco. Taxing cannabis was one of Hoenn's wisest moves. The region likely made a fortune off the admin, with how many he was burning through these days.

Stress was a powerful motivator. Its abation was one of Howard's top priorities, now. When he was on the clock, he was stressed. Sometimes, he smoked off the clock. Rarely, but he felt the temptation gnawing at the back of his mind every once and a while.

It didn't help that work and play bled together, now.

"Hah..." Howard watched as exhaled smoke circulated in the heavens. didn't smoke with them, anymore. The older grunt likely hated them. Not that Howard could blame him. "There we go."

Another drag. Another exhale. Clockwork. Grease to keep the gears running.

"I should kill you for what you said in the meeting. Going off about Regieleki and all that in front of the entire upper command." Howard tapped the cigarette against a knee as he sat on the curb. It sounded like a knuckle rapping on stone as he did so. "You made us look like idiots."

Not that they had needed much help.

"Doubt I could, though."

"you couldn't."[break][break]

two cigarettes hang out from the corners of your mouth like a pair of tusks. smoke and embers waft in the cold wind, one rising up and fading into the night, the other falling down and vanishing against the pavement. it'd almost seem romantic, if it weren't for how the ash tasted on your tongue.[break][break]

demeaned by your "boss", insulted by your "peers", and backstabbed by your "best friend". under normal circumstances, you'd be steaming with rage. but, you've got a fresh set of lungs, haven't you? and your nicotine tolerance is reset, too. it's not all bad.[break][break]

but too much of it is bad. so, you simply stand there, simmering. waiting for an excuse to boil over.[break][break]

and if anyone will give you that excuse, it's admin fox.[break][break]

"not you. not that poncy rich boy quinn. not that brainless bootlicker beckett. not frost, not cross, not fiorelli, not even declan fucking walsh himself."[break][break]

as your two tusks burn down to the butts, you spit them out and pull a fresh two from the pack.[break][break]

"lulu? maybe. grigori? probably. june? well... not now. later, perhaps. but you? no. never. not in a million billion trillion years will you ever so much as be able to lay a single fucking finger on me."

"I'm fortunate, then, that Regirock doesn't have fingers."

Even the admin wasn't blind enough to force that matchup. If Koraidon was anything like Violet, then it was likely as fast as the wind and would be impossible to catch before it did something dangerous. Dynamax was the difference, and Petalburg didn't have a Power Spot. There was nothing stopping Shred from ripping him apart, here and now.

Elsewhere, there was a chance. Still, the admin didn't particularly care to test it. Shred had a tendency of turning things around.

"You haven't changed at all. Grigori said you did, but..." He gave the Boundless a baleful look. "...no. This is you. It's always been you. Now you get the opportunity to act on all that rage you've been building up since Kyurem."

There were no ideals or truths to fill Shred's void, though. Those were unnecessary. Howard had zero clue how June had even survived her encounter with Shred, unless...

He let her go. That was what ultimately stayed the admin's hand.

"You look better, at least. For the complete piece of shit you are, Koraidon cleaned you up nicely." Better than the walking reminder that Penelope and Illeana were going straight to hell. Better than the reminder that Howard had fucked up. "But that meeting was a disaster."

Another drag. Exhale.

"What was your plan? To fuck me over? To fuck yourself over?"
