Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sounds fun" Rose said as she listened to the proposed scavenger hunt "Are there any rules about where we cannot go to look?" she asked a nearby attendant.

Rather than sit around in the casino, Caleb decided to go check out the bridge. He could only imagine the tech on a ship so big. Not to mention how new the ship looked.

Marshtomp continued eating, not having actually noticed Caleb yet. He was avoiding the punch now, but that chocolate fountain was calling his name for the fifth time.

The engine room was loud, bustling with workers, and very shiny. Rose and Michael had a great view of the inner workings of the huge engine that moved the mammoth of a ship.

Various consoles were illuminated at the ship's bridge, one screen occasionally wavering in and out of focus. The man in charge whacked at the screen, and it resumed normal functioning.

"Damn technology these days," the man grumbled. He turned to Caleb.

"Waddaya want, runt?"

The man snorted in reply.

"They're run just fine, exceptin' all you folks coming in and telling me how to do my job." The man gestured to the door.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to have some space when I work. Get out."

Caleb raised an eyebrow. Clearly the old fart didn't want anyone looking over his shoulder. Not to mention other people clearly had already done so. Obviously he made a mistake or two once in a while. Caleb shrugged and went to look around the ship a bit more. Clearly he wouldn't be finding anything there.

Marshtomp looked around as he sat beside the chocolate fountain, licking his sticky hands. That was sanitary. Where was a health inspector when you needed one? Marshtomp kicked his little feet as he scanned the room. Caleb had disappeared along with Rei now. Great. He looked down at the somewhat sticky iPod he had taken from his trainer. He should probably clean that before returning it. He looked up, eyeing the rest of the buffet. He'd make sure to fill up his tummy before doing that though.

Oh look! Rei was back! Marshtomp waved at him before he continued eating. He pulled a large cake his way and started chowing down. Then a look of disgust formed on his face and he spit something out. That wasn't cake! How dare they defile such a wonderful cake with some weird thing. Marshtomp checked to make sure nothing else was in the cake before he continued eating.

Marshtomp shrugged at Rei's question. He tossed the weird cake item into the pile of other items he had found. He didn't seem interested in any of them, mostly since none of them were food. He jumped when he sensed a presence behind him. Caleb stood there, holding up his sticky iPod. His eye twitched. Marshtomp grinned. Look who decided to show up!

Who knew the hotel had a rooftop view? Maddy had found a set of stairs that lead up onto the roof of the dingy hotel she had Team Aqua staying at. It felt like it had been weeks and nothing had changed. She wondered if Ghetsis still thought Aqua might be an issue after all this time.
She sat on the edge of the roof, her legs dangling and swinging and a smoke perched between her lips. The hotel wasn't very tall, so buildings still towered around her, but from here she could get a good view of the back alley that lead to the hotel's entrance and she could also see the bustling street on the other side. The harbor wasn't too far either, from what she could tell.
With a sigh, Maddy blew a puff of smoke up at the sky and took her TADS from her coat pocket. Flipping it open, she sent out a mass text to her teammates:
"Turns out you can get onto the roof of the hotel. Makes for a pretty good hangout spot."
She decided to leave the message at that and pocketed the device as she took another drag off her cigarette.
