Welcome to Gaia! ::

I chuckled a bit. "That would be the reason, wouldn't it?" I said sheepishly to Lykas.

"Well then, welcome to Team Snagem," I added cheerfully as my gaze returned to the brunette. "I'm Terashi Toumei, and this is Lykas. It's nice to meet you, Freya!"

Samurai made a noise akin to a sigh. (Well, I guess it didn't hurt him... and she does need life energy to grow... I just don't feel right letting her eat his life energy though...)

Dan stood outside, pokeball in hand. He wanted this battle to be fun and to do that, he wouldn't be pulling his punches- figuratively speaking of course. Once Sekushi stepped outside, the trainer grinned, glad he could make it. "Ready to begin? I was thinking about what pokemon to use and I think I'm going to agree with my friend." Tossing the pokeball, a small yellow mouse emerged, stretching and yawning. Dan wondered if choosing the moody Pichu was a good idea but Hawk had a point, she needed the experience.

Freya smiled brightly. At least everyone here seemed nice and didn't seem to care that she was, obviously, new. But would they care if they knew that she had just been wandering around HQ for god knows how long? That was a good question. She looked back at Terashi again. "Thanks and I just got her. It seems we haven't quite gotten used to each other yet." She explained, looking down at her Purrloin who was calmly cleaning herself as if she wasn't the current conversational topic. When another voice entered the room, Freya looked over, blushing at the 'what did you two do' question, causing her to forget the information on the food that was still on the table. However, what her eyes saw next was something completely out of this world. Her face seemed to burst into flames as her brain processed the information about these two new people that were, obviously, in a relationship with each other. Though they were both guys. Needless to say, Freya was glad she still had the slightly blood-soaked tissue from earlier. "Th-they didn't do anything ..." She stated quietly.

As she was trying to find things to look at and not stare, despite the fact that she ever so badly wanted to, Freya's eyes looked down at her Purrloin once again and noticed that she was missing someone ... "TEPIG!" She shouted suddenly. She had barely been a trainer for a few hours and already she had lost one of her Pokemon! Great! Panic settled into the girl as she began searching desperately, not having yet noticed that the male Tepig had merely wandered off towards the two Oshwatts.

Samurai smiled, but before he could say anything else, I tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. "We should be heading off for the night, buddy."

Samurai didn't like being interrupted, but he bid Chinami a civil adieu before following me as I picked the Bagon up and headed out. "I'll see everyone tomorrow," I added as I left the kitchen.

Once in my room, I rummaged through my pack and set up a comfortable place for Bagon to sleep. Sunny and Drillbur stayed in their Pokeballs, and Samurai slept at the foot of my bed. As I dressed for sleep, I glanced over at my Academy Pokedex, but decided not to rummage through it. I could name Drillbur and Bagon tomorrow.

Lykas whistled for Chinami when he realized she was carrying Narcissa. "Thanks, girl. But we should probably be following Terashi's lead." He told the Dewott. She nodded and bid adieu to Samurai, offering to perhaps speak with him more another day.

"Lykas makes a good point. We're in need of sleep." Odd informed Freya. "If you like, we can show you where the bedrooms are on our way." He offered. Whether she accepted or not, the duo started off for the bedrooms. It wouldn't take long to reach them at all.

>She followed

"You'll find a room with your name on the door here. That one's yours, obviously." He explained before he and Lykas ducked into his room.

>She didn't follow

The two boys found their way to Odd's room and entered in companionable silence, getting their Pokemon situated before climbing into bed themselves. Narcissa had a special fishtank set up in the window for her. (She's about 1/5 the size of a fully grown Frillish, so her tank is just large enough for her to hang out in when she needs water.)

Samurai was the first one to awaken. After checking my face to make sure I was asleep (I was), he slipped off of the bed and quietly exited my room. From there, he walked through the hallway, past the main area, into the kitchen to pick up its scalchop that Chinami's beauty made him forget, and out the entrance. Samurai came across the waterfall covering the entrance to headquarters and dived into the pool.

He had a lot of training to do if he was going to impress a certain Dewott.

Will entered the Snagem HQ, his bag in tow, overflowing with literature for him to read. He walked to his room and closed the door, but left the door open just a sliver. He curled up on his bed and layed the books out before him. Selecting a text, he began to read, enjoying a small amount of alone time. As he read, Will kept his senses alert. He would be willing to discuss anything with anyone should they enter but his mind was still within the world he was reading.

Sub walked down out of his office, down the stairs and heading into the main area of the building, his backpack in tow. "Ugh, my head has been pounding lately, ever since that boat trip, it's been building up." He said rubbing his head.
