PASSERBY ANALYTICS HQ #6

answered in-character & anonymously

"What is your favorite way to travel?"
Private jet. Comfortable and efficient.
"Is the person you are now, the person you wanted to be when you were younger?"
Yes.
"How have your parents shaped you? For better or for worse."
They taught me how to wield power and influence with grace and panache.
"Gut check: do you expect people to act in their own self-interest or in the interest of others?"
Everyone acts in their own self-interest. Some people are just in denial about it.
"What would the apocalypse look like or feel like for you?"
Everyone is poor and surviving off of those awful canned Galarian beans.

Shaking himself off at the urinal, Rafael couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that that dinner was finally over. Having politely excused himself to use the restroom at a very calculated moment, he was able to skip all of the goodbyes and empty platitudes that would inevitably follow dinner. As he washed his hands, he made and effort to smooth out crinkled lines of a frown that crossed his forehead. After all, he had slipped the server his credit card on the way to the bathroom. When the chairman went to request the check with his hand on the non-profit's limited credit card, the server would announce that Mister Artega had already covered it. He would look generous, the board members would mutter praises for his generosity, and Roche would have to sit there and listen to it.[break][break]

Yes, his frown was quickly fading as he dried his hands and stepped from the bathroom. A smile even appeared as his gaze swept over the empty table and caught sight of Roche's back as he stepped out the door. Love to see you leave and love to watch you go. Rafael smirked.[break][break]

Following the board members out onto the street, he caught sight of two limos rounding the corner several blocks away, just in time to pick them up. Something prickled at his conscious, however, and his eyes flickered across a group of young men standing at the curb nearby. Rafael did not miss that two of them were discreetly palming retractable knives.[break][break]

Corporate espionage, perhaps? Or maybe an assassination attempt. It wouldn't be his first. Either way, given the stature of most of the board, only he and Roche were important enough to be targeted by something like that.[break][break]

His gaze flickered to Roche as he said his goodbyes to the chairman. Rafael wouldn't lose sleep if the man bleed out on a Rustboro sidewalk but it wasn't the type of press he preferred to be associated with. Better than they focus on his playboy lifestyle or his charity than the darker side of things. Taking a large step forward, he settled his hand on the back of Roche's neck with his fingers on each side.[break][break]

"Beautiful evening and the hotel isn't a far walk, why don't you join me?" he suggested pleasantly, his eyes signaling that this wasn't a suggestion. Rafael tightened his grip to emphasize his point. And if he squeezed a little harder than necessary, he didn't mind that he might leave a bruise. Either way, they'd have enough distance to release their pokemon or for their corporate security team to intervene if they were followed.

Stepping into the restaurant, Rafael was dismayed to find that the only seat left at the table was at one end, next to the chairman and across from Roche. A wicked grin tugged at his lips as he took his seat. Normally these dinners after the Board meetings were dreadully boring, but now he could play a little game. Rafael delighted in games, and judging by how Roche played at the meeting, the other man must like the ones that hurt.[break][break]

The chairman droned on beside him about some run-down dump they were funneling money into preserving, but as Rafael sipped his sherry his eyes were on the way Roche's well-tailored suit accented his muscles as he shifted in his chair. As the other man reached for his glass and took a drink between sentences, Rafael's eyes watched as his lips parted; he took in that little flick of his tongue over his lips to collect the remnants of his beverage.[break][break]

Shifting his gaze back to the chairman, Rafael leaned in and feigned interest while his thoughts remained on Roche.[break][break]

Hot. But what a douchebag.

A slight grin settled on his face as the chairman, a septuagenarian with an kind smile and no political skills whatsoever, finished welcoming Roche to the Board, thanking him for his anticipated leadership. What the man didn't mention was the undoubtedly sizable contribution Roche had made to the charity's coffers that earned him a seat at this table. Rafael's eyes twinkled - ignoring it didn't change the fact that it was how business was done.[break][break]

Rafael's grin widened as he leaned forward and said, "I couldn't agree more, Mister Chairman. In fact, with Mister Roche's influence in the Finance world, undoubtedly we will see less corporations buying up historical buildings just to bulldoze them for profitable real estate. Certainly with EvoEx being one of the biggest players in the game, those loans will start drying up for real estate developers. Bravo, Mister Roche, truly."[break][break]

He leaned back in his seat, satisfied with himself. Roche would have to be careful on who he did business with in Rustboro and what companies EvoEx invested in or else look like a complete asshole. How satisfying.[break][break]

As the chairman droned on about an upcoming awareness campaign, Rafael gave Roche a quick wink when he was sure no one was looking.

Rafael didn't mind a bit of information gathering for Rocket but his sniffed disdainfully as group of Tangela stepped onto the forest path ahead of them. Each one sported that bulbous toxic chain that he had seen infecting other pokemon. With no Celebi in sight and hostile pokemon ahead, he glanced to the two retainers following along behind him.[break][break]

"Clear the rabble," he said in a firm, authoritative voice.[break][break]

His Klefki jingled deviously as her fairy lock held the Tangela in place. The two trainers beside him were quick to set in on them vulnerable pokemon with their fire-type companions.

Rafael remained focused on the brilliance of the teracrystal cluster he was examining as another Iron Moth hovered in on those strange wings. Instead of turning, he simply raised his hand and gestured to his Archeops.[break][break]

The large pokemon spread her wings wide, evoking ancient power that erupted from the ground below to slam into the Iron Moth. The same power swirled around the Archeops, boosting her power or defenses. She shrugged off the heat of the Iron Moth's fiery dance as she rushed forward, crushing it with a wing attack.

"Hmm, even the paradox pokemon are afflicted with those toxic chains. Interesting," he mused allowed, sparing a brief glance at the crumbled Iron Moth before his pokemon began tearing pieces of it apart with the sound of rending steel.

POISON PATROL: AMOONGUSS (ROCKET)

POSTED ON Mar 31, 2024 1:32:00 GMT

[attr="class","rafpost"]

His imperious gaze sweeping the warehouse workers had their supervisor hovering anxiously at his elbow. While not strictly necessary, Rafael liked to personally visit his operations to make sure his teams knew that their work was important and, more importantly, that they were watched. While he expected some skimming of artifacts and pokemon here and there by his underlings, it was key for them to know that he would not tolerate behavior that violated the standards of House Artega.[break][break]

Nearly at the end of his inspection, one of the workers stumbled back with a strangled cry as a box of great balls spilled across the ground. The man scraped at his face while fungus sprouted, screaming as he writhed on the ground. Within the box, Rafael could see an Amoongus laden with spores and a toxic chain.[break][break]

"See that it doesn't spread to the rest of the shipment. Burn it if you have to," Rafael ordered before turning and walking away with Noble hissing sweetly in his ear.

"Roach."[break][break]

The deliberate mispronunciation of the man's name dripped with disdain as Rafael dropped the magazine into the empty seat next to him. Across the limo, Noble hissed his support. Glancing back to the image of the handsome, clean-cut businessman adorning the cover of the magazine, his aggravation only grew.[break][break]

It was easy to dislike Colin Roche, even though his business dealings with Evolutionary Exchange were so beneficial. That wasn't the difficult part; it was having to see the man literally everywhere. As the limo turned a street corner and the architecture of Rustboro City slid by outside, another encounter with the man drew closer. The quarterly Board of Directors meeting for the Rustboro Historic Preservation non-profit would barely register as an event if Roche wasn't also going to be there.[break][break]

And what timing, with that magazine article in The Hoenn Business Journal coming out this morning. Raf was used to seeing his name in print; being one of Paldea's most eligible bachelors and an influential figure as head of the Artega Foundation was always fodder for gossip rags, fluff pieces, and the actual news. No, the issue was seeing Roche being compared with him. Whether it be talk of their looks, personality, or business prowess, the media couldn't help but compare and contrast them every chance they got.[break][break]

"What an asshole," he muttered to Noble as the Snivy climbed onto his shoulder when they stepped from the limo.
