Welcome to Gaia! ::

Team Rocket Grunt, Faleen, reporting for duty.

From what she could see, she was the first one to arrive at the storage garage were all the vehicles Team Rocket had were kept
She knew she was in the right place; here she was going to meet her team mate, the one named Damon that would be sharing this mission with her.
The thudding of her boots made the only sound echoing around the garage so far. This said to her that perhaps he wasn’t here yet.
Figuring she was just a couple if minutes early, Faleen took a few moment to relax while she waited.
The female grunt let out a slight sigh as the bag on her back was shifted from her shoulders, sliding the gray pack down her arm to place it on the ground in front of her boots, then shifted her team rocket jacket, draping it over the fore of her arms.
Faleen wore the standard issued grunt winter uniform, for the cold weather. The uniform looked as crisp as ever; worn with care.
The girl wearing it however didn’t seem to be in the same condition.
Though her eyes were alert, light hazel gaze moving slowly around the room to the different machines and vehicles Team Rocket possessed, the tone of her skin looked a little pale, with uneven blotches of pink on her cheeks and darker bags under her eyes. Even her hair looked like it just didn’t want to stay brushed.
Her stance was also off, shoulder sagged, posture lax, and a little hunched.

Faleen hadn’t slept much the night before, almost relating to feelings to being nervous about a test next morning at school, only no school test was nearly as important as this, not to her anyway.
There was a lot going through her mind, thoughts that only grew weary of tormenting her when it was merely four hours from when she had to wake.
Her side was acting up a lot, finding that the more her heart beat, the more the healing wound throbbed. She hoped once they got a move on she would be able to ignore it better.
Aside from that, she was ready.

Or at least, she would be once her team mate showed up.
Swaying softly, Faleen glanced around, making sure she wasn’t just missing someone.
then, stepping gingerly around her bag, the grunt made her way over to one of the vehicles, head tilting slightly as she moved around it, studying the machine curiously.

The time had nearly slipped her mind, unaware of how late the other grunt was until she heard brisk bootfalls coming into the garage, and sudden explanation.
Straightening up herself, and turning her attention away from the vehicles to face the man.
He had a grunt uniform on like the one she was wearing, blond hair, taller then she was, and he had a bag that looked quite full.
She would have assumed this was Damon, except for the fact that he had said that he was there replacing someone.
"Your replacing Damon then?" She questioned, "what happened to him?"

Faleen’s eyebrows arched slightly, “oh I see.” That certainly made her curious as well, such a quick change of plans like that, and she hadn’t been told about it… but she was just a grunt, why would they bother having to tell her?
with a small incline of her head, Faleen reached up to push her unruly lock of hair back behind her ear, walking over to the other grunt.
“ So it looks like you’ll be going with me then. I’ve got that you’re not Damon-” she started, pausing directly in front of her bag before she reached down to heave it up with difficulty.
“My name is Faleen if you haven’t already been told, and you are…?”

Her Hazel eyes fell onto his hand when it was offered to her, but upon his last remark, seeing him wince ever so slightly pulled a slight grin from her. “Yes, let’s hope we do.” She commented, looking quite amused.
“If we can’t then we can at least agree that the mission is first and foremost. I’m hoping we get there find that bag quickly and get back.”
It was then that she offered a smile, a tired smile but still polite, reaching her own gloved hand out to take his. She wanted this to work after all, if they didn’t get along it would be a lot harder.
“On that note, it’s good to meet you Zach.”
Pulling her hand away to reach into her pocket, pulling something out that jingled lightly.
“Are you ready to head out?” she questioned, holding up the keys to the vehicle they would be taking.

"Good" she replied with a smile of her own, hitching her bag up once more and starting toward the driver side.
It might be silly, but she was so looking forward to driving a vehicle again.
Faleen moves slower then he did, from the other side of the car she glanced up to him through the open door when he brought up a concern of his about pokemon, sliding her bag off and climbing in stiffly and carefully.
"I'm not interested in anything but dark types" she answered simply "If we run into a dark type that I might want, I -will- do everything in my power to obtain it, anything else, is yours"
Making herself comfortable in the seat, she reached down to slide the key in the ignition, pausing only to give him a side glance, and a small smile "does that sound fare?"

Pleased to hear that he agreed, Faleen turned the key, holding it as the vehicle started up.
"well, I think so far so good" commenting on the fact that they made an agreement quite easily.
"so you have a dark type huh? what is it?" she asked, glancing Over him as she pulled them into reverse after letting the exit open.

She probably would have been interested in any dark type he said, but hearing about him owning a Spiritomb eared him a glance, taking her eyes off the land ahead of them for just a moment, her eyes wide, lips parted slightly.
"Oh yes, I'm quite aware of that particular pokemon" she said, turning back to the road "its a must for dark type trainers, and Sableye, I wouldn't mind seeing one of those"
she was impressed, it could be heard in her voice.
"so you've got that pokemon, since we're going to be working together for a while, what other pokemon do you have?"

Her reaction to the Espeon wasn't nearly as interested, for a moment she didn't even make a movement or look that she had even heard what his second pokemon was.
Instead she sat up a little higher, peering out of the front windshield.
"If you get the opportunity you should go for it, going to be enough Ice types up there." pausing another moment before he asked what her pokemon were "I have an Umbreon and a Shuppet" she answered.
Settling back into her seat with a soft sigh.
It felt good being in control of something mechanical again, she could feel the power rumbling under her, and grasped in her hands,
Faleen tapped her thumb on the wheel fondly a few times, enjoying the beautiful sound of the engine revving as she sped up a little more.
