Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maddy rolled her eyes at Dark and looked at everyone else.
"So, are we done here or does anyone have other business to attend to while we're out?"
She was feeling pretty neutral and didn't overly care what they did at this point.

After a well-deserved nap, Rei walked into the lounge area of Maddy's home and plopped on a sofa, pulling out a Leaf Stone.

"I suppose it's that time of the month again," he muttered. Pulling out a Poké Ball, he sent out his Weepinbell.

"Mandragora, today's the day. Don't splash your acid everywhere and you can have the stone. I don't need you to ruin Maddy's house more than you already have," he muttered, remembering the Bathroom Incident. The Weepinbell danced with joy and nodded furiously.

"Alright, alright, stand still." He held out the stone in his palm, and Weepinbell promptly consumed the rock. Rei quickly retracted his hand before it was dissolved by the acid and folded his arms, watching his Weepinbell transform into a magnificent Victreebell.

The evolution complete, he walked into the kitchen and looked around for food. There was none. His stomach growled in protest.

"Augh. Man, I'm hungry..."

Caleb was sitting at the kitchen table, looking like he hadn't had a wink of sleep at all. Shakily he sipped coffee from the cup in his trembling hand as he stared at the wall with bloodshot eyes. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being followed by something, making him on edge because of it.

Accompanied by her Persian, Rose came down the stairs, thinking upon what had transpired in Coumarine and how easily they had been defeated. She had done a lit of research and had decided she might need more fairy types to stand up to that dragon. She was thinking about the other known fairy types in this region and was thinking that a Carbink might just be ideal. She was thinking about that and not really paying attention to anyone around her while Persian followed her.

"Oh nothin' just doing some banking. Trying to join all my criminal accounts into my main one." He responds to Michael.
"(That's a lot of zeros.)" Star says as she looks over his shoulder. "(Looks like drinks are on you.)"
"I wonder how much is in my government paid retirement fund...?" He scratches his chin. He then hears Maddy.
"You bought your house with cash, you butt." He grumbles. "I'm not buying you jack unless we're on a date and you put out."

Rei looked down at his TADS and quickly walked outside.

"Come on, Countess, looks like we're needed today." The Countess shrieked in agreement and headed off towards the meeting area. Anything to get his mind away from yesterday's events.

Caleb jumped whenever Rei addressed him. "You tell me...everything was just fine yesterday....a-and then on the way back I got this chill...and ever since then I feel like something has been following m-me."

Caleb started sipping on his coffee again when he froze at the sounds beneath his seat. He flailed when something grazed his pant lets, falling backwards in his chair and spilling coffee on himself. He swore loudly, trying to dry the burning coffee off himself. Then his TADS buzzing and Allen's message. He groaned and put an arm over his face as he lay back in his chair.

No naps for you today Caleb.

His Marshtomp shut the refridgerator door, looking over at him before noticing everyone else was leaving. The Marshtomp shrugged before dragging his trainer along after the others.

An older man approached the Team Aqua group, he was dressed in a swanky dark gray suit, with a top hat tipped just to the side. He was tubby with a large face and a wise nose. His long reddish beard was graying to match his short hair. He held a cheery demeanor as he walked along with his unnecessary cane. "Oh ho ho~ My you all are looking dandy today!" He winked at them, looking to Maddy, "Is everyone ready?"
