[attr="class","sunshine"]"I want t' get paid with as little hassle as possible," Plank replies simply. Her tone is matter-of-fact and the words come quick, like no other answer even occurs to her.

"I want t' get what I need when I need it, 'n' for no assholes t' try 'n' fuck with me while I do it."

hum of anxiety [mission]

[attr="class","sunshine"]Plank and the bouncer spare each other short glances as they pass one another. She's got a face and a build that'll leave her producing ID long after she's actually legal, and they both seem to know it; but thanks to Gavin it doesn't come up.

She nods to nobody at Gavin's order. She doesn't feel the need to verbalize every agreement and it's not like she was going to do anything else but follow his heels.

They slip into a corner that smells a bit less awful than the rest of the club. It's impossible to escape the stench of a night out that drenches the place, but Gavin's managed to pick a spot perhaps less traveled. She wonders absentmindedly if that's intentional -- if this spot is kept low-traffic on purpose.

"Do I drink?" she echoes the question in a tone that makes her answer clear: 'Of course I fuckin' don't'. She thinks again about the interaction with the bouncer moments ago. It's not even an option for her until she has some damn good ID.

She plans to leave it there, but then she considers their mission. What they're going to be doing.

She thinks of her father and his habits. The way he'd mix himself something before a stressful job.

"Get me a whiskey ginger," she says simply, crossing her arms and leaning back into the booth.

[attr="class","sunshine"]Plank makes slow, deliberate moves to face away from Wolfe as the mattress sags beneath her. It's a bit awkward. Her steady shift comes to a sudden stop, as her blanket is trapped under Wolfe. The next movements are quick.

There's no time for Wolfe to potentially shift herself as Plank kicks the blanket off and turns faster than her head appreciates.

She has to slap her hands over her eyes to stop the spinning and vertigo that comes from her hurried movements. The room is blackened by her palms when Wolfe asks her question.

"Uh, yeah, just," she keeps her eyes closed as she removes her hands from atop them. Her right comes to rest on her right thigh while her left gestures vaguely over her shoulders.

"Just uh, cut it t' chin length or whatever. Just, short enough ya'd have t' really try t' grab a handful; but without makin' me look like a fuckin' boy," she says.

[attr="class","sunshine"]There's no rise from Theo. He doesn't play into Plank's provocation, and that disappoints her. Why? She knows what he could do if he were upset but . . . there's something about his smooth demeanor that irritates her more than his anger might scare her.

"Yeah? Well I'm not here t' sate anyone's curiosity," she shoots back.

"I'm also not here t' listen t' your stories about the battle hut. If ya wanna say somethin' t' me, fuckin' say it."

[attr="class","sunshine"]"My bad, I'll try t' keep things simple for ya," Plank says as Theo shrugs.

She clicks her tongue at Theo's question.

"Don't see what that has t' do with you one way or the other."

[attr="class","sunshine"]The no weighs heavy on Plank's chest for reasons she can't quite place. It's not like she can't cut her own hair, but there's just something . . . She wants that distance, maybe. She wants someone with hands that don't tremble to cut it, maybe. She needs, despite the show she's working so hard to put on, someone to help her.

Just this once. Just one more time.

She can't help the way her expression falls at the denial, the way she slumps full-body into the pillows behind her. Just one more thing she has to do for herself, she thinks. It's not so different from the rest of her life.

But Wolfe speaks up again. Voice gentle, marked around the edges by . . . uncertainty?

Never has Plank been so grateful to someone for just trying.

"Doesn't have t' be anythin' fancy or whatever," she says, trying not to let her relief show too clearly in her voice (and mostly failing), "I just . . . it has to be shorter. I can't keep it like this."

[attr="class","sunshine"]Plank wets her lips as the battle gets properly started. The girl and her pokemon do well to stay confident in the face of Grog, it's a good sign for what's to come.

"Let 'em do what they will!" she shouts to Grog and Livewire, "let's make the most of it! If they come t' ya, make 'em hurt! If they don't, play our game!"

Heeding their trainer's commands, her Gyarados and Lanturn stand strong in the face of the attacks coming their way. The first to hit is Mawile's CRUNCH.

Grog flinches as sharp teeth dig into his scales, but he doesn't back down. The Mawile has put itself voluntarily within pointblank range. Without hesitation the Gyarados opens his own maw wide over the smaller pokemon and lets loose a torrential FLAMETHROWER.

Livewire's actions are less dramatic. The hot SCALD beats against her side, but the Lanturn's resistance to the move takes all the punch out of it. The only worry is the residual ache on her rubbery skin, a potential burn. She'll worry about it if it sticks.

Instead of responding to the Empoleon in kind, Livewire skirts around the edge of the battlefield closer to Grog. On her way she turns and wiggles in a strangely choreographed RAIN DANCE. Clouds gather above the field and begin to drop fat raindrops onto the heads of the combatants.

[attr="class","sunshine"]Right, Rowan. To be honest, Ronin sounds cooler; but Plank keeps that to herself.

The hand offered to shake is met with a smile before she slaps her own into it. Her handshake is firm, bordering on overbearing. It's not a competitive thing. Plank just appreciates a good handshake.

"You're not wrong, but maybe ya call me Bonnie for now," she replies, voice in good humor. The disguise she's wearing isn't worth shit if she just goes by her actual name.

"Yeah, yeah, nice t' meet ya. Gonna be nicer t' beat ya," Plank says with a grin like a Sharpedo before letting go of Rowan's hand and walking a few paces away. She bounces in place a few times before pulling out two pokeballs and looking back towards the other Rocket, "Ya good with a two v two?"

[attr="class","sunshine"]Plank's eyes are on the sand when a challenger finally approaches. Her left pointer finger is in the middle of drawing something crude when a pair of shoes come into a view, and then she nearly topples over onto her ass when she looks up just in time for the other girl to drop down. Suddenly she's face to face with a stranger.

A stranger who seems to know exactly what she wants.

It's entertaining, the blunt first impression Robbin makes. Plank doesn't miss the way the request for a battle comes before her name.

"Why the hell not," she replies, shrugging as she stands. As if she weren't sitting here waiting for someone to ask the question Robbin just did.

"Hope ya battle as well as ya banter," Plank says, walking back a few paces so they have a proper battlefield between them.

"Ya can call me Bonnie," she continues, turning around to face Robbin again, "'n' since I'm so nice, ya can take the first move."

Once she's done talking Plank rifles through her pockets for two pokeballs. When she's got one for each hand she tosses them out in front of her, revealing Grog and Livewire. Her Gyarados and Lanturn.

Grog waits for the arrival of his opponents, eager to test their mettle with an INTIMIDATING glare.


@robbin

With no more designated targets from higher ups, and no higher ups themselves coming to challenge her, Plank is left to wander the beach without much direction. Challenging people actively isn't something she has much desire to do, but she wants to fight more . . . it's a pretty petulant position to hold but if that isn't just how she is sometimes.

So she picks a spot of empty beach and squats down while waiting for someone to do the hard part for her. While she waits for someone to challenge her she putzes around, alternating between glaring out into the sea of people and drawing patterns in the sand.

[attr="class","sunshine"]There is a genuine, odd relief in Wolfe's straightforwardness. Plank is so used to misdirection, intentional vagueness, that when she outright states she's not to be trusted and perfectly content (intending) to keep a certain distance between them . . . it's like a weight off her shoulders. One less thing to worry about her heart twisting up and fucking her around over.

"Good," she replies with a sigh, "I'm happy we're on the same page."

The steadiness from her voice moments ago gives way to her bone deep tired. With another sigh she runs a hand through her hair. It's a perfectly normal gesture at first, fingers dragging through the front and down the back of it, but when she hits about her shoulders she tenses up.

A stupid panic hits her chest and she stifles it by clenching her teeth and wrapping her fingers tight around the bit of hair they rest above. Within. The latter action only worsens things, actually, but before she can descend into a complete, messy anxiety attack she lets go and very pointedly drops her hand in her lap.

There she drums her fingers in thought, eyes glaring holes in the blanket that covers her legs. After a moment she turns them to the only other person in the room.

"Hey," she says, mostly to make sure she's got Wolfe's attention, "You cut hair?"

[attr="class","sunshine"]"Will do," Plank replies simply, leaving her position at the windowsill as Gavin goes to exit the room. She falls into step behind him.

The air is refreshing to Plank in a way she imagines it's not to many others. The island smells so keenly like the sea and all the things adjacent to it she loves. The salt in the air, the lingering smell of the not-far-off beaches, the chill that accompanies being so close to water. Her shoulders she didn't know she was tensing release and she can't hold back the gentle sigh that slips from between her lips.

It's a shame she has to leave it so soon. As they descend into the ground the clean smell of the sea is replaced by the lingering scent of booze and vomit.

"Yeah, sure, I'll follow your lead," Plank replies, hoping she sounds more confident about this than she feels.

[attr="class","sunshine"]Plank's leg stings, but not as bad as it had before the battery of disinfectant and stiff bandages were applied. Not enough that she limps as she enters the alleyway to meet Theo. Not enough that she limps especially notably, at least.

"They wanted t' make sure their champ walked outta there feelin' her best," Plank shoots back thoughtlessly. The only thing betraying her anxiety in sharing a space with this man again are her twitching hands -- which she's intentionally hidden in the deep pockets of her basketball shorts.

[attr="class","sunshine"]"Huh?" Plank's initial tone is openly hostile to whoever's approached her so brazenly. When she turns around her mouth is twisted into a sneer and her eyes are narrowed. Then, she sees who it is. For once she recognizes the face of a Rocket elite.

Not because they've met, but because she's gotten sick of not knowing the features of the people most likely to pose a threat to her health.

"Ah, yeah, sure," she changes her tune pretty quick, rubbing at the back of her wig with one hand while creating a bit of space between herself and Killian. Nerves fight against excitement as she pulls a couple pokeballs from her pocket. The last time she battled against an elite it ended with a nasty scar on her leg, and the time before that it had . . . well, ended the same way. Like mentor like student she guesses.

But . . . this is a public place under league battle rules. And if she wants to become a Beast like Gavin recommended she needs to prove her battling abilities to the higher ups.

This is nothing but an opportunity then. With a flick of her wrist she sends two pokeballs flying from her finger tips. In flashes of white her Pelipper and Sharpedo reveal themselves. Instantly the air immediately above them clouds over. Swabbie's DRIZZLE starts a steady flow of rain that turns the sand under their feet and across the space between them to sticky mud.

"Let's not waste any time fellas, hoist sails and get the fuck in there!" She orders her pokemon.

Immediately Swabbie beats his wings, creating a stiff TAILWIND to propel himself and his partner. Said partner shoots forward, closing space between herself and the admin's pokemon. With a roar Baby sends energy rippling through the wet sand, an EARTHQUAKE that sends the shells and rock resting underneath straight up in jagged chunks at Poipole and Metagross.

A few fly around by Swabbie, but the Pelipper easily uses the drafts of his TAILWIND to float around them and out of harm's way.

In the aftermath of her attack, Baby's muscles tighten. The Sharpedo's SPEED BOOST ensuring she'll stay one of the quickest fighters on the field.
