promises are a fickle thing.

[break][break] relationships, love, even more-so.

[break][break] especially when it comes to the like of people like luciano fisk, who's emotions and temptations were as changing in the winds.

[break][break] he glanced sideways at the man who had chosen to accompany him, pleased now — unlike the last time that they had been to such a gala. but perhaps this was the way things always had to be with them - his perfection, his muse - it had all come at a price.

[break][break] tender, perfect artist hands closed around paxton concordas's biceps, a tenderly crafted smile to all those who came to greet them.

[break][break] "a pleasure to meet you, ms. morningstar," the sculptor said, head dipped slightly as he made his own introduction. the tricklings of Melody Miro came not far away from them, and his head tilted towards it like a sunflower turning towards the sun: but a lesser sun. of course, Ciprina Fisk would rise to the stage soon after, and bestow herself upon them all.

[break][break] looking back towards freya morningstar, he shook his head.

[break][break] simply, easily. his words perfectly crafted, although her marionette was miles away.

[break][break] "no thanks needed. the fisk foundation is more than happy to provide it's support to the people of sootopolis."

[break][break] "after all, that's why we're all here, no?"

Exposition III

"thank you, head champion, for that wonderful performance," freya says earnestly, departing from luciano fisk and paxton concordas to take her place on stage. chatter drops to hushed murmurs as she composes herself.[break][break]

"you've lost much," she starts, swallows. "more than anyone should. we know you have lost homes. we know you have lost loved ones. and we know that you're hurting, but i stand here before you now to tell you that i'm - the league is watching out for you. we will rebuild."[break][break]

consternation. fear. anger. so much anger. her gaze skips, heart thrumming. in flashes and snapshots, she sees aquamarine stones fitted to worn rings, runic carved seashells strung on leather, the weight of grief on her people. her vision stutters to a stop on Eva Morales. and slowly, she picks out more pieces from the crowd. people who were there to pick her up when she'd been broken.[break][break]

"kyogre was brought here under duress, forced to rampage by team rocket and their occupation. by the efforts of the league, of our people, we have contained the leviathan. and just as we will habilitate the god of its primal rage, we will do the same to those who have been maltreated by rocket. the amnesty program welcomes you."[break][break]

her gaze hardens, lips parted to carry onward, but then they flash teeth - pointed, too sharp to be human, and her voice is forced when she says, "but for now, enjoy the festivities, and if you need more information about our efforts moving forward, there are plenty of resources made available by our vendors."[break][break]

some heads turn to follow her gaze. guards move to converge as inconspicuously as possible on the entrance, but they can't be the first to make a scene. and there's no hiding what's emerged from the shadows."it seems your oppressors have made themselves known. perhaps they're here seeking amnesty?" a couple of terse chuckles ripple through the confusion. freya maintains her composure and makes a motion for the guards to relax.[break][break]

"rest assured, any civilian within these walls is under my protection." a harsh, draconic rumble echoes through the neighboring caverns. freya probes her connection, sending a wordless thank you painted in gold.[break][break]

[attr="class","event-content-dyk"]■ timeline [break][break]

this event takes place several weeks after the events of BATTLE OF SOOTOPOLIS.

[attr="class","event-content-box"]

[attr="class","icon-ball"]
TEAM ROCKET EMERGES

with the churning tides, and bolstered by their victory over petalburg, team rocket need no longer skulk in the shadows. war has brought them to the front as a formidable force. the league does not own sootopolis and rocket will not be undermined with a frivolous political maneuver.[break][break]

under the guise of neon, mint frost leads a group of rockets to remind the league that they've made a truce with the enemy they so despise.
[break][break]

[attr="class","event-content-gif"]

[attr="class","event-content-gif-dot"]

[attr="class","event-content-gif-lighten"]

[break][break]

team rocket is under strict orders to appear peacefully
if your rocket has a civilian identity and is not 'out,' they can participate masked
rockets already present in civilian personas may choose to excuse themselves, remain, or find some way to switch into disguise
engaging in violence may result in IC repercussions from both sides

OOC NOTES

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY![break][break]

[attr="class","iconimage"]

Neon strides through old, worn hallways, footsteps echoing in the vastness as he approaches the festivities. There were few people still out, everyone gathered for the party. He knows where, too, having spent so much time on his own in these halls. Researching, collecting, documenting. Ever since the ceasefire the only real bite he'd felt was from freya morningstar herself. But since she technically had been coming back to a home she'd abandoned, he hadn't said anything. But now, there was nothing she could do to stop him from walking her family's halls again. [break][break]

He'd been casual about reporting his appearance at the party. Whether or not others visited didn't matter. This was a public affair, he had nothing to fear. Even if the League did turn on him he could easily make a getaway before he was overwhelmed. For now, he strides forward, the same shit-eating grin shining in LEDs. The doors closed and no doubt there's security. He can hear the councilwoman yapping and spinning her lies. Bold after their previous conversation. [break][break]

"League's protection?" he asked, just as loudly as Freya. A flick of his wrist and psychic energy coalesces around the doors shoving them open, while more signs of glowing energy coagulate around the guards, pulling them harmlessly out of the way. It's a sudden move that allows for the Beast's grand entrance. The party crasher sets his sights on the woman he'd taken a liking to irritating the most recently. [break][break]

"That's rich when your people were the ones to blow up every barricade we had to keep Kyogre out." he said, electronic voice pitching upwards as he let out a sharp laugh. "The Kyogre that your power hungry Avatar lost control of?" he added. He continued forward an invisible force herding people out of the way as he strode closer to the event organizer. "Rocket made efforts to protect Sootopolis, to keep the Leviathan out, and then to evacuate the people you nearly drowned while you...what? Got eaten alive and grew some horns like the little freak you are." [break][break]

He casts his eyes on the crowd finally. Those who weren't rangers or officers. Civilians all the same, trying to score an easy meal or maybe even genuinely interested in what Freya had to say. He pulls from the scattered database of first hand accounts. The chaos of the day distilled into little reports he'd meticulously gone through. "The only oppressor here stands before you. A woman who's worth is in name and nepotism alone. Who abandoned you, not once but twice. Sootopolis, and then her post as Councilwoman." Pixelated eyes turn back to Freya. [break][break]

A stray finger twirls absentmindedly as he floats a free snack towards himself to inspect. "But I'll stop there before your councilwoman shows you how bloodthirsty she really is." he said. The bottom half of his helmet moved and opened just enough to allow the sight of his mouth as he ate the tiny cupcake whole. "In any case, I'm not one to turn down a free meal so, thanks for the invite. Even with all your preaching. Hope you don't mind I stick around to fact check." he said as he used a thumb to wipe the corner of his mouth before the helmet closed back in on his face again. “It’s good.” he said, the compliment genuine before he turned to address the only other draconid in the room ,and a sore spot for Freya. “I can see why Roy Aker ’s inhaled half the buffet. Good look, by the way. Offering to feed hundreds but fattening yourself up like a Lechonk for the slaughter.” At least the people would have plenty of meat to sink their teeth into when they finally tried to eat the rich.

[attr="class","text"]

what remains of this land...[break][break]

no, best not to dwell on it right now. today is a time of peace, or so one such as a foreigner like silverio can only hope it is. but with each passing second that he remains here, doubt swells in his chest; questions begin to amount atop the apex of his conscience, mainly of how one can even begin to rebuild after the carnage that had transpired. and yet, even now, a part of him is weighing the fault heavily on himself for his inability to be of any considerable aid at the time.[break][break]

alas, that is neither here nor there...[break][break]

freya morningstar 's speech, apparently opposed by the voice of one seeking to expose her allegedly fradulent demeanor, prompts silverio's attention. details of the phenomenon that plagued sootopolis are presented, but it's not this that prods at the paldea-born ranger's nerves. rather, it was what had been noted before that. "rebuilding...where can we even start...? how...?" he spurs to nobody in particular. meanwhile, his gible continues to scarf down any treats in his sights.[break][break]

unsettling...[break][break]

nerves begin to rumble; silverio's fingers began trickling along the surface in front of him at the table where he remains, eyes wandering in search of a way out of an impending disaster. if this were a nightmare, perhaps he'd wish for someone to wake him. in an attempt to relieve some of his growing frustration, silv lines up the long sleeves of his navy blue dress shirt to roll them along his forearms, and undos the top button of it. a sign, maybe, that he needs some air.[break][break]

he departs from his seat. seeing this, little gible rolls off the table to follow suit. weaving through traffic, silverio seeks refuge. from what? who knows, but a breath of fresh air may supposedly do him some justice. how can he attain this though...?

She smiles at Caleb Harcourt "Thank you Caleb." as she pats him on the back. "Keep up the good work, people keep saying good things about you." she says as Melody keeps it vague on who spoke of him to her. Some girls had to keep secrets. [break][break]

Her gaze shifts right on over to Roy Aker, the person caleb starts to introduce, wasting no time. "Freya's cousin huh? I didn't know she had cousins to be honest." she says as she momentarily eyes him up and down, the starlight within her eyes bursting forward as her interest in him is piqued. "Well then, why is it I've never heard of you so far? Surely she isn't trying to hide you from me is she?" She jokes as Melody thought freya wasn't the type. Or is she?[break][break]

He compliments her song and as the idol opens her mouth to continue the conversation. But before she does, she hears an agitating, grating voice, that was ruining the harmony she was trying to spread. A familiar stranger, one asking her to sign a copy of her album. [break][break]

She stares at him for a moment, her face turning red as it seemed like a super fan broke in and rushed towards her. She never really got used to this but champion duties called. "Hi! Yes of course who can I make it out to?" she asks him as Melody stares him down, trying to figure out exactly where she knew him from.

She was talking to him. Holy shit. Melody Miro was talking to him! This was the best day ever.

"Please send it out to Howard Slayte. It's my favorite album! It's the best one you've ever made, and I really like the track abou-" The admin was cut off by the loud marching of Team Rocket infringing upon the meeting. The archaeologist paled, before checking his broken watch. "T-team Rocket?!"

He let out an audible gulp. To most, it looked like the archaeologist was afraid of the thugs that were infringing upon Freya's banquet. For Howard, it was audibly worse. He felt naked without his Sygna Suit and armor. What if someone recognized him?

Then Neon started talking.

He was talking. Holy shit. mint frost was talking to them. This was the worst day ever.

"I'MSORRYMELODYI'MAFRAIDOFTEAMROCKETBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" As quickly as he appeared, the archaeologist melted into the crowd as Mint prepared to spar with the upper echelons of the League. "ILOVEYOURWORKBYEEEEEEEEEE!"

What a strange fellow.

Hopefully he wouldn't come back.

mint frost and Elise Calcifet like this

she is presented a choice - snap her jaws into the boon stirring hotly in her skin, or maintain peace. her jaw tightens and those few precious seconds of indecision, where she's tottering on the edge, feel a millennia. it takes every ounce of her willpower, as the beast continues with his haranguing, not to devolve into the monster he makes her out to be.

"what a nuisance," she says carefully, coldly. two steps brings her to the edge of the stage. "you certainly like to talk, but you say very little, beast."

she tucks her hands behind her back and lifts her chin. "not a day goes by i don't carry the weight of my mistakes, but i will not let them drag me under." many of them are in this room. her gaze flits over the faces of her neighbors, people she's known for nearly half her life, and towards companions. family.

"so, please, carry on with your delusions, but while you do so we will move forward." she steps down. "ah, but since you insist on staying, you're welcome to fill out the amnesty forms."

her hands shake by her sides, hidden by the crowd as she slips back through the throng of murmuring attendees. she stares forward without seeing, searching for someone to ground her as she slowly unmoors.

It was remarkably easy to slip away. When at a party of giants, the ant avoided getting crushed by being beneath the notice of stronger trainers, kinder people, and better humans. That's what Howard thinks as he Teleports into a Rocket-owned building for his attire.

I look like shit. The face in the mirror was not his own. His eye was narrow and the shine of excitement was gone. All that remains is a dull gleam that occasionally remembers to spark into an inferno. Why did I even come? I knew Rocket would show up.

Maybe he hated himself. Whatever. It was too late to turn back now. mint frost didn't deserve to shoulder the scorn of everyone at the banquet. He didn't deserve that much contempt from so many people pressed on his shoulders. Team Rocket looked out for one another. Even if Minthad started him down this path, he'd still stand by his side in this precise moment.

Hopefully, that meant Mint would stand with him when he needed it most.

These clothes aren't his. The coat is too heavy, designed for northern climates rather than Hoenn's temperate one. Cillian Quinn would chastise him for sweltering from the heat, but hot and cold feel like distant memories. He placed the helmet on his head and took a deep breath.

Be Fox. Be Fox. Forget Howard. Fuck Howard. Shoulder the weight. He punched the wall in frustration. And keep marching forward.

...

Step. Step. Step. The doors forced open by Neon's entrance remain so. They rattle in the wind as Admin Fox marches in after Neon's scathing remarks.

"A member of the Elite Four." He pointed at Melody as her voice goes unheeded.

"A councilwoman." He pointed at Freya as the ship with no port finds no reprieve.

"A ranger." He pointed at Ollie as he waits patiently for his other half.

"...and a Head Professor." He pointed at Eva, she who had once shouldered a meteor for Hoenn.

His eye flicks over other countless names. The man with the sniper rifle is here, as is the Galarian ambassador. There are a few Rocket members as well, though they cannot stand up and visibly join their side. He carries their hearts in silence.

"Worthless. This is our opposition, Neon?" His voice is as dry as the desert, his voice a static buzz. "These... dregs? I expected more from those that cracked the city's walls like an overripe berry."

the illusion of normalcy — ollie morales's arm draped over her shoulder, melody's performance — in this abnormal place is shattered by the ripple that passes through the banquet. turning heads, muffled whispers, then freya's voice, announcing the arrival of team rocket. annalise feels the fabric of her uniform crease as she follows the crowd's attention toward the entrance. [break][break]ollie's hand clamps down on her shoulder just before she spots mint frost among the masked. it stops the hot impulse to storm towards him, tethering her beside the head ranger. she glares at neon as he speaks, hoping he might feel the discomfort of her gaze boring through his helmet and into his skull. [break][break]a second rocket (howard slayte) steps into focus, pointing out league officials in the crowd. she bristles as his finger lands on ollie, tense beneath the head ranger's arm. [break][break]"let me go," she whispers to ollie, quick and restless, disguising her words beneath the jabs the rocket is making. worthless. dregs. every taunt inspires the desire to glance around for the path of least resistance to reach him before the league can reach her. "and look away. i'll fuck them up myself."

Like a Mothim drawn to a flame or icarus to sun, Freya’s inspiring speech reels her in closer. Small steps; quiet and subtle. Past the buffet table, between the murmuring crowds of people, almost to the stage itself. A small smile twitches at the crease of her pink lips as she speaks of hope and the future. It echoes her recent sentiments expressed to the young Fenelle Miller. Eva hoped she was listening.

As many good things do, it comes to an end - abruptly. Eva’s slow to take her eyes off freya morningstar and turn towards the noisy entrance of the Rocket Beast, mint frost. It turns the air cold, sucks the life from the room. Their poisonous presence turns this gathering upside down before he even starts talking; and he talks too much as usual.

Eva bites back her fury, but the frustration manifests in the tight grip around the delicate champagne fluke in her hand, The glass flexes beneath her fingers and it's the subtle, quiet crack under the pressure that stiffens her composure.

She sets the cracked glass on the next waiter's tray that walks by. Despite her small stature she holds her head high but never lets the burning disdain leave her normally gentle emerald eyes. Leave it to Rocket to fuel her rare pettiness.

“Big words for such a small man,” she speaks loudly, letting her gaze fall down then back up mint frost’s masked costume. Not only is he small in stature, like her, but small in dignity and humility as well. Vermin.

The professor snakes her way through the crowd to intercept freya morningstar. The gentle chime of the glistening beads hanging from her green dress may announce her presence before her fingertips brush against the clearly agitated woman’s forearm. They move in a gentle trial down to her hand, taking it if allowed. She looks at Freya, eyes silently asking what she should do. Is there even anything they can do? Violence wouldn’t be the answer, though they already acted through verbal violence. Their intrusion itself is an act of violence.

It doesn’t end with Neon. Another rather confident Rocket enters. Eva's brows knit tightly when howard slayte passes over her like he's counting Wooloo. He would find no gentle Wooloo here. Eva’s tongue clicks against the roof of her mouth and her voice drips with mocking sarcasm, “If you’re soooo unimpressed feel free to leave,” Arceus she hopes they just would.

"Freya you can't even confront your own mistakes. Everything I've said is fact. I know it, the people of Sootopolis know it. We all saw what the League did to this city." he said, grin never wavering. "The League cared more about taking Sootopolis back, than the lives of those still here that'd be snuffed out once Kyogre arrived." He follows Freya's movements, like a cat watching a bird flutter about in its cage. "Call it delusions but your inaction even began to affect other cities. Lilycove, Mossdeep, Evergrande, Dewford. You can see where the water levels rose up and sucked off pieces of their coastline." She walks away and he laughs as she does. He gives her a little finger wave as she steps away from the stage. Try as she might, he won't let her aggrandize the League's questionable war strategy. [break][break]

Admin Fox is quick to follow and he had a feeling they'd already been present. Then again, it's doubtful the Admin would've even told him he was attending. Neon was much the same. He tilts his head towards them, finally looking away from the councilwoman. "freya morningstar is an opportunist obsessed with reputation, just like the rest of the Morningstar's. That's why she's aligned with the League." he said with a shrug. "Kyogre led the charge, the League didn't actually have a strategy other than keep us from interfering. Combat ops is just the bluster of an untested strategist." He does not miss his chance to continue needling Freya, having already watched her move before. Not to mention he just wants her to come back closer. Give her an excuse to do something to him. He needed another look at whatever the hell was hiding in her skull. [break][break]

His eyes move to annalise henderson , blinking for a moment before remembering that ranger from Ever Grande. The stab wound she'd left ached faintly in a ghost pain but it didn't stop him from replying as he saw her struggle against ollie morales . "Oooh, c'mon, ollie morales Let the bitch off leash. I wanna see how sharp her teeth are now." he said, egging on the woman he used to call friend. But Neon isn't fcukgin friends with anybody. [break][break]

"Big wORdS fOR sUcH A smaLl MaN!" he echoed, mocking the head professor. "What a clever dig from the most original bimbo this side of the ocean." he snaps quickly, eager to bite back to such easy ins. "How's Rayquaza Eva? Are you relieved it took back your PEACEMAKER title and turned Freya into an uncontrolled freak instead of you?" her asked. "What happened? Sabbatical too boring for you? Or are you crawling back to action because the guilt of abandoning Hoenn forced you to?" In the words of someone far wiser than he, they were funny but he was hilarious. [break][break]

"We’ll leave when the party's over or when you can finally tell the people the TRUTH of what happened to Sootopolis."

[break][break]
"Don't let 'em get under yer skin." He says, voice oozing with amusement despite the supernova of anger flaring inside. He wanted nothing more than to rip these two to pieces. But, he was a changed man—or so he kept telling himself. "It's all they can do, eh? Come 'ere ta bluster 'n bitch knowin' full well if they so much as released a Pokémon against ye they'd be nailed ta the front of that submarine as she dives. They know just as well as we do they're replaceable and, well, it probably burns 'em ta the core ta know that Freya 'ere is the only reason they're stil here at all."

His eyes narrow, head tilting ever so slightly.

"So, boys, are ye done 'ere? Manhood's nice 'n stiff from yellin' at women? Hun, what are they called again? Incels? Mm, ye, seems appropriate, considerin'." A singular finger taps the opposite bicep. "But, 'ey, I'm not off limits. What'd ye say we step outside real quick and get real nice 'n personal?"
[break][break]
He flashes a shit eating grin, eager and willing.

Deep down, he'd expected this.[break][break]
Still, Caleb tenses when the Beast makes his grand entrance. He recognizes the mask: Neon, they call him. Flashy and arrogant. His grip on Mavli tightens, and she growls in the direction of the intruder. Vermin don't belong in a dragon's den.[break][break]
The insults to Freya come pouring out, and Caleb's anger flares. The Councilwoman's no pushover; takes the entire spectacle in stride - but Caleb's sparred with her enough to recognize: she isn't the bloodthirsty monster Rocket is so keen on portraying her as, but she'd rip Neon's throat out if this were a one-on-one altercation, and he was asking for a fight.[break][break]
Another Rocket, one Caleb does not recognize, slips in behind Neon. Spouts more bullshit. Others come to Freya's defense faster than he can: Eva Morales and Freya's husband, notably. He spies annalise henderson in the crowd, looking livid, which doesn't surprise him. And standing next to her - [break][break]
Caleb's chest constricts. ollie morales is here.[break][break]
Which, oddly, only further stokes Caleb's restless desire to speak up himself, rather than stand there as the Rocket Beast eats their banquet.[break][break]
"I'm sorry, but who the fuck are you two?"[break][break]
He flashes Neon a derisive look of mock confusion.[break][break]
"Rocket must not care all that much about this, if they're sending their B team." He barks a laugh. "Guess Zev's busy." He shrugs. "I could go for some fresh air, though. Happy to take one of you, if Wayland's got the other."[break][break]
His stormy blue eyes find Freya's. I'm with you.[break][break]

"I said worthless, not unimpressive." The umbral folds of the admin's mask swallowed the light as he looked at Eva Morales . When the admin stopped to take a breath, it frosted. He dusted off several pieces of ice from a gauntleted hand, which fell to the floor, clattering. "And I will not leave, I am not Rayquaza."

He let out an apathetic shrug. Cords in the admin's coat shined in the light as they swayed to and fro. He gave Mint a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder as the Rocket Beast went for the throat.

Silently, Howard made a note to not call mint frost short. It would've been the pot calling the kettle black, but hypocrisy was beneath him and the Rocket Beast would likely thrash him in a direct confrontation.

"I'm not much of a fighter, apologies. Neon can take you both." He held up his hands in surrender, though he didn't seem particularly concerned. The helmet hid his emotions, and the archaeologist's voice was even. Fighting King or Caleb would likely end with Howard bleeding on the floor. "But I should introduce myself. It's good manners, right?"

He bowed his head once, silently glad that his mask hid his confusion. What the hell was an incel?

"My name is Admin Fox." Remiel's codename was his, now. None could deny his seizure of that name, and it would hopefully ignite some spark in the two ex-Rockets' minds. A flicker of remembrance, or some iota of doubt to cast upon Remiel Calcifet. "I helped take Petalburg while Sootopolis drowned, crushing houses and lives beneath the feet of giants."

An iota of soul died as the words fell from his lips.

"I guess that makes me a bad guy, huh?" He chuckled slightly. "But it's funny. From our side..."

He raised his head.

"...You look like villains too."

Yaps at Eva about the low (mint is short ref???) hanging fruit aka rayquaza
Makes a note to not call Mint short
If he fights King or Caleb they'll beat his ass hello!!!
Introduces himself as Fox (sequel)

anger festers. a hot and violent and furious anger that embers beneath her skin. each breath is one of cold, calculated practice, with a patience she has had no choice but to learn. that does not stop the whistling in her ears, that ache to delve into that fathomless fount of power in her blood and stain the floor with blood.

no, a hand around her wrist does that instead. golds find green and her taut breaths come with ease as tension unknits.

at a distance, she sees a ranger's back turned, trapped and helpless in his own tumultuous sea. but she is too far away, and all she can do is thread a breeze to tell him he is not alone.

neon makes the mistake of turning their attentions to the woman at her side.

"the name of our god doesn't belong in your mouth, vagrant."

she bristles, but KING WAYLAND steps in. her tongue swipes over her teeth and for a moment, she doesn't know whether to be annoyed or relieved as he throws some ash over her coals. she settles on thankful, the flat of her lips twisting up in a half-smile when he suggests they take it outside.

"they're not worth the effort," she says lightly, but her tone carries a warning to both him and Caleb Harcourt. we can't have bloodshed. we can't give them what they want.

when howard slayte speaks, somehow, it hurts her more. it washes her out, rolling in like the tides, and rubbing salt in sore wounds. she squeezed eva's hand, theeads their fingers together.

"rayquaza never left," she says thickly, raising her voice. "they never left our peacemaker and they never left you. they needed me, for the blood in my veins is all that can satiate the leviathan. your fearless leader told me that, you know, right after admitting to desecrating the blue orb and forcing the god to rampage in the first place.

"i protect you now. all of you, so that afterwards - after the waters have run red, after the ruin, and after the pain - she can be there. your peacemaker, selfless enough to pick up the pieces of this godsforsaken world we can't stop breaking."

she narrows her eyes at neon. then fox.

"so go on with your slander and your petty remarks, and know that i pity you. all of you. after all this time, you still hide in the shadows. behind masks and false faces. you aren't heroes. you are nothing but the fear you sow."
