Welcome to Gaia! ::

snatching up one of the nearest cans of soda pop from the table, Faleen popped it open, her attention turned over tot he Elite, and the Trainee playing the dance dance eevolution game. grinning a little to herself as she lifted the cap to her lips to sip at the liquid passively.
"have you ever-" she started to ask Kofuku, but paused, taking notice of all the pokemon that seemed to be around Agent Hayes, he even had a large pidgeot makings its way over.
snorting through her drink at that very amusing sight, then reaching over quickly to grab up a napkin.
"anyway, have you ever played a game like that?" she finished her question to Kofuku, napkin pressed her to her mouth and nose.

The raven-haired Grunt observed the song selection screen of the DDE game, listening to the little samples of the songs that the list played when they were highlighted. She would have to try that thing too, some of the songs seemed pretty catchy. Hopefully it wasn't too hard.

TRP and the hors d'oeuvres serving Trainee seemed to catch onto it fast enough though, so it probably wasn't that hard.. or maybe they had played before. It was hard to tell when you weren't close enough to listen, but Seth's presence kept Akemi at a safe distance.

A gentle push could be felt against Hayes' left leg then, followed by a rather cheerful "Eesp~" as Rei greeted the Agent. The Espeon still remembered him from way back, and decided that he was a suitable human to hang around with. And besides, there were a bunch of other pokémon gathered around him in any case so the Psychic type would certainly have company.

Seance was disappointed that her trainer wasn't actually socializing with anyone, so she could mess things up. So she decided that she had to cause a bit of ruckus on her own. Ah, there was a secluded girl with long pigtails that would provide a lot of fun. While Leonard was watching the video game, she silently floated over and tugged on the girl's hair.

But the Banette didn't go totally unnoticed. Leonard saw her creeping towards the girl and realized what she was going to do. Damnit, can't he go to a party without his Pokemon causing trouble? He reached out to her to pull her away before she could yank, but it was too late. Seance yanked at the girl's hair, cackled madly, and floated away, leaving Leonard's hands still outstretched. Just his luck, he's going to look like the one that pulled her hair.

Zach probably wasn't going to be playing DDE for a little while yet, so he went and grabbed some cake and pizza, he noticed Leonard, and it appeared that he was causing mischief and grief to some girl. Zach scowled, but decided he would rather ignore him, he was here to enjoy himself after all. He then went back to the DDE machine, he would rather not miss his turn after all.

TRP struck a little pose on the last step of the song and laughed, "This thing's more entertaining than I thought it would be." She grinned and looked back at Seth, "C'mon, chicken. Give it a shot."

Lucky for Seth, he would be saved by the bell.. or by the alarms, as it were. Without warning a klaxon sounded off over the lobby speakers, interrupting the music and echoing through the room. TRP stumbled a step, startled by the loud noise. Furin quickly latched onto one of her pigtails while Hoshi took hold of Hayes' arm. "..that's the proximity alarm."

Seconds later the radios on both TRP's and Seth's Pokédexes crackled and a voice shouted over the tiny speakers, audible to everyone else in the room, "Proximity alert! Proximity alert! There's something in the desert.. it's coming right for us! It's huge!!"

Frowning, TRP snatched the Pokédex off her hip and spoke into it, "Calm down! Describe what you saw."

"I don't know, I didn't get a clear view of it before it trampled the cameras!"

TRP's eyebrow twitched and she eyed Seth a moment before looking at the rest of the gathered Rockets. Whatever was out there.. it was going to need to be dealt with, whether or not they had the luxury of knowing what it was. "Party's over! Everyone outside!" She shouted, tugging her boots back on. After clipping her Pokédex back to her belt she cut across the room and shoved through the double doors out into the desert.

Darkfeather looked down at the cake that was offered to him in peace. The Pidgeot glared at it for a moment before snatching it in a single bite and downing it. The bird then stalked off, appeased. Nikki looked on, horrified. How dare he feed her bird junk food!

But then the alarms went off.

Seth scowled immediately, also recognizing the proximity alarm and turning his gaze down at his Pokedex when the voice came over its speaker. He then returned TRP's glance and quickly rose to his feet, tossing the woman's boots to her.

"You heard her! Move out! Now!"

With that, the elite wasted no time and made a dash out the door, releasing his Luxray in the process.

Just as Zach had gotten himself some cake, the alarm had sounded, and he heard TRP's announcement, Zach looked at the cake with regret, Looks like another day of having cake but not being able to eat it. He then set his plate of food on the table and started to look for Yasu. "Yasu! Come here, now!" Yasu was in a corner of the room by himself taking a nap, when he heard his master calling for him. He yawned and stretched, then went to Zach. Zach then proceeded outside to see what all the commotion was about.
