Welcome to Gaia! ::

TRP eyed Seth and huffed when it became clear he wouldn't be joining in. She glanced over her shoulder and scanned the room for anyone else not occupied. "Hey, you! Hors d'oeuvres girl!" She beckoned Teillo, "Put the tray down for a sec. I need someone to help me show Seth how this thing's done." TRP was determined to have a good time, whether Seth planned on following suit or not.

Meanwhile Hoshi perked up at Alphard's appearance, "Alphard!" His eyes grew wide at the mention of pastry goodness. He too knew this word, "Cake?"

Akemi spotted Hayes waving at her and waved back with a smile. At least there was one familiar person here. Still, it'd be silly to just stick to talking with him for the whole party, after all, a get-together like this was meant for socializing.. not that the Grunt was a social butterfly, quite far from it. Still, at least learning the names of her fellow Grunts and Agents would probably be a good thing.

Then, her attention turned to the dancing game, and her eyes widened. TRP had apparently somehow managed to drag Seth over to the video game corner, and was trying to persuade him to try. This would be interesting to watch, though Seth was bound to be mad after that.. so Akemi decided to stay out of their sight, nevertheless focusing her attention on the Elites for now.

Rei, on the other hand, had grown a little bored of hanging onto the girl's shoulders. With a soft nuzzle and a murr, it indicated it was going to go look around by itself.
With feline grace, the pale purple pokémon landed on the floor and slid past people's feet, reading everyone's moves to avoid being stepped on as it moved towards Hayes.

Seth's expression turned stoic, and he rolled his eyes a little as TRP called a Trainee over in order to show him how the game was done. He knew how to play the blasted thing, he just chose not to.

Picking up TRP's boots, Seth planted himself on the nearby couch to observe.

Leonard wasn't sure how he got invited to the party in the first place. He didn't have any friends 'up there' or anything. In fact, he didn't have many friends at the HQ at all. But he was glad that he was here instead of sulking in his room or something. Who knows? It might be worth it... somehow.

After chowing down a slice of pizza, his interest turned to the video game corner. Apparently some of the higher-ranking Rockets were going to play Dance Dance Eeveelution... Including Seth? He couldn't believe it. Nope. Wait. It looked he didn't know how to play. Which was ridiculous because it was the simplest game Leonard has ever seen.

Hiding a laugh behind his hand, he turned to his Banette, who was nomming on a cookie. She was apparently far too busy eating to notice him, but he could tell that she was watching and waiting for him to screw up somehow.

Zach came into the party a little late, Yasu trailing behind him. He noticed that there was a good crowd gathered around a DDE machine and decided this might be a good time to show off a little. He went up to the machine and placed a coin to indicate his interest in joining when possible. Yasu shifted nervously, he didn't like crowds. He went up to his trainer, pawing at him. "Espeooooon~" Zach looked at Yasu sympathetically, I know Yasu, it's a bit crowded, but why not go socialize with the other pokemon? You might make yourself a friend or two." Yasu seemed unconvinced, but sniffed and departed anyway, maybe he will just find a spot that isn't quite as crowded or something.

"Ah but you can talk." he smiled at the mewtwo, and shoved a bit into his mouth speaking around it, he turned to the grunt, pointing his fork at him. "I'm impressed, that you can write with a beer in your hands, I can't. I take it you can't speak anymore then your pokemon can. I'm Panther by the way, and you are?" He wasn't surprised by the Telepathically, he know that physic types didn't use their tongues. It didn't matter much to him. Unlike many others, he knew that language came in more then words.

When Teillo arrived TRP grinned and pointed at the second dance pad, "Hop on. Not exactly sure how this works but we can figure it out. Seth's too shy." Smiling, she selected an appropriately cheerful song. Soon the Rocket was tapping around her dance pad, pigtails bouncing.

Furin smiled and twirled around beside TRP, "Chiiiiiime!"

"Cake, Hayes!" Hoshi echoed Alphard, following after the blond agent.
