@thomas@
So, that's Cyrus? He thought to himself as he saw him around the corner with Jenny and Dawn. That must be the Houndoom as well... That Houndoom looks better than Cyrus though... just looking at him gives off this uneasy vibe...
He glanced around the room, trying to locate something. Now, where do the waiters come out with the food...? And has Marcus got here yet?
@marcus@
Creeping into the kitchen, he sighed in relief as the guy at the back accepted him for a waiter. Guess they thught I'm one of these new recruits... I'd better hurry up and get that key before the real deal gets here!
He glanced around. Now, where's the meat so I can start things off?

"Hey, where's the waiters at?" In the back halls, a bearded cook slammed the doors open, glaring at around the hall until he spotted Marcus. "Get over here, kid! We got an order!"
Cyrus...indeed he was a sight hard to behold. He had such a stone look that looked paralyzed, like it can't change features like a normal person. His eyes looked so cold, and so dead, that... "Berlitz?" "Remember what we rehearsed." Dawn whispered before slowly approaching the man by a table. "My, good to see you again, Cyrus." she pleasantly greeted, keeping her voice disguised in a high-pitched tone. Though in the inside, she really wanted to be far away from this man.

@marcus@
He cringed as the cook called out to him. Dang it! I should have seen this coming! Ugh, I've got no choice...
"Er, yeah..." He walked over to the cook. "OK..."
@thomas@
He could feel a chill go down his spine as they closed in at Cyrus. And we dealt with a cold-hearted scientist back home... I have to keep it together...
Even so, he can't think of what to say to Cyrus without sounding too nervous... I mean, even now, he can't remember if Dawn's father met this inhuman trainer or not... All he can do at the moment was go... "Good evening..."

"Hey!" the cook pointed at a wheel tray with many classy dishes. One especially had plate of steak, prepped with many greens around it. "Get this to the tables, and especially give this steak to Cyrus' mutt. He'd grow a fit if this doesn't get in his stupid dog's mouth." Grumbling, the cook walked back to the stove. It was hard to tell if he hated his job, or the crew, or Cyrus. Maybe all above...
"And Ms. Berlitz," Cyrus greeted the young girl before 'Johanna'. "You grown lovely since the last we met here. I hear that you started the family tradition; did you not?" Funny, the evil man practically calls her by her respected name, like she wanted everyone, other than her close friends, to call her. But that still didn't earn any respect from her. "Oh yes. Just like my mother here, I yearn to be a great coordinator and create the family crest. That tradition never died." "I see...but I understand that-" "Sir?" Walking up behind the seated man was a red-haired woman with pointy hair, and fierce eyes. She wore a jet-black dress that bare her shoulders. "There're some dire news that-" His smile nearly wavered. "I'm busy," "But you really need to-" "Mars, would you please take my Houndoom for his year tradition snack?" The woman slightly gritted her teeth. "But-" "Now," he spoke, sternly. The man kept his glance at Platina. Yeah...something told her he really had a question for her. Growling, Mars snapped her fingers to signal the dark hound to follow her.

@marcus@
"Uh... okay!" He called after the cook. He quickly walked over to the wheel tray and grabbed the small bottle that Jenny gave him. This seems easy... I have to be quick...
He sprinkled it on the steak for the Houndoom and put it away in his spare pocket. Done... And now...
He wheeled it to the party area...
@thomas@
He watched Mars leave, frowning. I wonder what was bothering her...
It was then, another figure walked up to Mars when she and the Houndoom were out of earshot from Cyrus...
@saturn@
"Mars, is something wrong?" He asked, looking stony-faced.

@mars@ "What you think? I'm playing dog-sitter." she spoke, rudely, miffed that the man she'd give her life to always treat her like some little maid.
@houndoom@ The demonic dog growled at the woman, who didn't appreciate being treated like he didn't matter.
@mars@ "Yeah yeah...your food is coming," she muttered, noticing the young 'waiter' step out of the kitchen doors. "Hey! Hurry up and get over here!"
@cyrus@ "Now then, I understand you received your stater from Professor Rowan; correct?"
@dressdawn@ "Why...yes I have." Platina answered, trying to remain calm. Though she can't help but feel she was in the hot seat.
@cyrus@ "Well, at the same time, I read that you received it along with two other young boys. I believe they go by the names of Lucas and Barry. These two have caused some mild cases between my operations; cases that could very well end them in jail. I have yet to report them, for I don't want to make such sudden accusations for their reasons. I wonder if you know them."
@johanna@ "Now now," 'Johanna' spoke, quickly, trying to save Platina the pressure. "I do believe we taught our daughter better to be involved with commoners." Leaning right on Thomas, Jenny held his shoulder. "Isn't that right, dearest?"

@thomas@
He nodded. "That's correct. In fact, she has never spoken about these two. She knows how to stay out of trouble."
@marcus@
"Coming!" He rushed over. Taking a look at the twin horned demonic dog, he understood quickly. THAT must be Houndoom. That's one pretty cool looking Pokemon there...
He coughed and turned his attention to Mars. "I have one steak for a Houndoom..." He pointed to the said steak with the drugged power on it that looked invisible now. "This is the one..."
@saturn@
"I'll take to you later once you've fed the Houndoom," He said to Mars. "I would like to know what's worrying you..."
And he walked off to a corner of a room...

@ @ "Doing the maid's work again, uh Mars?" A female chuckle from the dark. Stepping into the room, was a black haired woman in an elegant, noblewoman's dress. Io, the secret commander in charge of Darkrai, and Team Galactic's unofficial dealing with Pokemon 7.

Scowling at the woman, Mars turned away, muttering, "'Doing maids work again, uh Mars?' B****!!" Meanwhile, the second Marcus came forward, the Pokémon snarled at him that would make junkyard dogs quiver. The scent around this human...it wasn't anything normal. In fact... "Argh! Would you shut up?!" Mars growled, snatching the plate of stake and held it under the Houndoom's snout. "Here! Smell it! Eat it!" The dog tried to keep his focus on Marcus, to deduct what was so strange about him...but the smell of the steak...it was too resistible... The way he ate the stake, it was like he was mauling flesh.
"Well that is quite a relief. I was hoping you weren't involved with those two."

@marcus@
"Right... now, if you excuse me..." He pushed the cart over to a table and looked over his shoulder.
Man, what a cool Pokemon... but, why was he suspecious about me? Eh, never mind... I'll just dump this tray near some people and find a place to bring that Haunter out quick...
And that Mars woman... maybe she carries a key card with her... Maybe he should get the Haunter to take it from her... is it worth the shot?

@cyrus@ Cyrus looked down at his cell phone. A scramble of text kept filling the monitor. Though he wasn't concerned for he knew what that meant. "I must go. Some business to attend to. You understand, after all, Madem Berlitz."
@johanna@ "Oh not at all. The little coordinators can't get enough of my legendary talents." And boy was she glad he was leaving. She just hoped Cyrus would leave at least one of his cronies in the party. Any one of them have a card key.
@cyrus@ Walking past Mars, "Discuss outside. We..." Looking down, he noticed his Houndoom looking rather exhausted. Strange...perhaps because he let him out all day...
Well, his call pretty much hurried things, so he had no time to wonder about his Pokemon's reasons for its sleepiness. So he recalled the dog into the poke-ball. "Saturn, tend to our guests."
With that, Cyrus and Mars walked off through the crowd.

@thomas@
He sighed in relief as Cyrus left, whispering to Jenny. "I've dealt with a mad scientist before, but he didn't gave off this... vibe..."
Still, the Houndoom looking tired means Marcus has done it.
@marcus@
Speaking of whom, he looked around the corner and frowned. Mars was leaving with some strange guy. Her boyfriend? Husband? Brother? Or...?
@saturn@
He nodded to the man who was leaving with Mars. "Of course, master Cyrus... I'll see you and Mars later..."
@marcus@
He frowned. So, THAT'S Cyrus, huh? Well, he brought his mutt back into that Pokeball, so that's one less threat to deal with... OK, so I won't target that girl.... Instead...
He grinned as he eyed his new target before going around the corner into an empty room. "HIM!"
@saturn@
He took a glance at Dawn's group and frowned. "Hmm..." Then, he walked away...

"Something on your mind, Saturn?" She asked as she walked up to the male. With a small fan in her right hand, she used it to cover her mouth, giving the rest of the room a scent of mystery around her.

@johanna@ "I'm not surprised," said Jenny, smirking.
@dressdawn@ Well, that was expertly taken care of, but while she's here, she'll just mingle and eat some snacks.

@thomas@
"I've noticed his Houndoom looked tired... it means Marcus has done it.... now, he has to do Stage 3..." He muttered to Jenny. "However, I'm worried about that woman who tried to speak to Cyrus earlier... Mars... I wonder what she has to say to him..."
@saturn@
"Mars... that's who..." He said, without looking at her. "But, I'm curious... have you lost your contact?"
@marcus@
In an empty room with no one around, he snuck into a dark corner and looked in his apron pocket with the Pokeballs... Where's Haunter? Come on.... Aha!
He glanced around and... a silent *BAM!!!* and he came face-to-face with... "Cool lookin' ghost..."

"Oh, you mean HIM?" Io groaned, "Amazingly yes, he hasn't soon up for a while. According to the papers he was last spotted last night in another of his thefts. But now he vanished." Io grabs a glass of wine and drinks, "Course... with his little sister under my wing, I doubt we haven't seen the last of him... if he's still around."

@johanna@ "No use worry about that now, not unless you wanna follow Cyrus. I sure don't." Glancing at Dawn, she noticed how easily she socialized with these people. Obviously, she been here before, and perhaps aristocrats do stick together. But still, Jenny rather leave while they can.
Standing up from her chair, "I'm getting lil rich-girl before she somehow manages to mingle with Cyrus' goons."

(Collab between me and AnT)
@marcus@
"OK.... Listen to me carefully, we're looking for a sort of a card from someone like... him..." He pointed to Saturn from around the corner as he was speaking to someone. "Haunter, can you get that key card without anyone noticing?"
@haunter@
"Haunt-haun-haaaaaunt!!" Giggling, Haunter then scrambled his face around...before sticking his tongue right into Marcus. It stuck out from the other end.
@marcus@
".....keep it calm... keep it calm... keep it calm..." He slightly twitched. "Just do it.... and don't make a sound..." He hissed.
@haunter@
Reeling his tongue back in, Haunter saluted with his floating hand before fading away.
@saturn@
"I see...Well, last I've heard, he was trying to steal some valuable from this city... maybe by your orders... it was by the odd arrival of Giratina and that strange, large armoured man that all attention to him was avoided so he could escape..."
@haunter@
Sadly for Saturn, most things Haunter touches becomes tangible, and Haunter easily manage to swipe the card though Saturn's waist like it was air. Silently, without sight, Haunter flew right back into the closet to meet with Marcus.
@marcus@
He grinned. "Haunter... you're awesome..."
@haunter@
Giggling with a large smile, Haunter held up a card...which had a picture of Saturn...not a very good looking one. Though it didn't even have the Galactic logo; just the words DMV, his eye color and hair, his date of birth...
@marcus@
"....Oh... um..."
He took the card, looked and it and facepalmed. "Trust that guy to carry more than one card.... darn..."
He knocked his head against the side of the closet silently thanks to his hair. "Haunter, see if you can nick EVERY card that guy has on him... every card... Please?"
@haunter@
"Haun?" Scratching his head, Haunter wondered how. He had so many cards, he didn't know which one. But then...snapping his fingers...Haunter had an idea. So he quickly faded away...and a few moments, he came back, held out a wallet, reach dropped a plastic reel of cards as long as two feet'.
@marcus@
"Niiiiiiiice..." He grinned. He took a careful look at the cards and grinned. "Aha..." He took out a card and smiled. "Got it... OK, Haunter, take the wallet back to it's owner..."
@haunter@
"Haunt?" Looking at the cards, while holding it over his head...Haunter ate them.
@marcus@
"....." He held a sputter to try and not laugh. "OK... OK... Good job anyway... return..." He used the Pokeball to bring Haunter back, place the Key Card into his pocket and left... leaving Saturn's ID card behind.... @thomas@ He nodded. "I understand..." He took a look around. "We can't stay here much longer... If we do, I'm sure-"
@marcus@
"Ahem..." He coughed in a fake posh voice. "Is Sir and Madam enjoying tonight? I would like to let you know that everything is DONE..."
@johanna@
"Ah, splendid." Jenny spoke with a posh voice as well. "Be a good dear, and fetch us some wine for myself and dearest."
@marcus@
"Yes, ma'am..." He said, walking towards the kitchen area....
@thomas@
"Let's get Dawn and find an excuse to leave before Cyrus returns..." He said to Jenny.

If it was Mars or Jupiter, Io may have blown her top. Seems Saturn thinks Pokemon 7 is working for her. Course, might as well go with it... maybe a nice way of saying she got things handled. "Yes, I've read the paper... they also said a demonic ninetails was spotted with a Team Rocket agent, along with a warrior of sorts... calling herself Minervamon." She puts her fans away, and makes a chuckle, "Either way, mask-boy not around for the time, so the main threat is that idiot two-some I've heard so much. Still.... Giratina... first the rulers of Time and Space, don't tell me there's some intererest in the organization for him, now."

@johanna@ Walking up to Dawn, who was busy eating tiny white cookies with cherry cream, Jenny grabbed and pulled her by her wrist. "Come on, we're leaving."
@dressdawn@ "Noooo!!" she whined, trying to reach for another. "I haven't had a tenth cookiiiiie!!!"
