A sleek SUV pulled into the parking garage of the HQ and into it's neatly marked, numbered spot. Killing the engine, Vironica opened the door and stepped out. She wore casual clothes, a sleeveless shirt with a collar and a pair of khaki shorts, and her hair hung down to the middle of her thighs in a long braid. Tossing her bag over her shoulder, she held the keyring of the car with her teeth. Walking to the back of the vehicle, she popped open the hatchback and sighed a little, looking at the 3 bags of fertilizer, the two flats of sprouts she's purchased, and the piles of new pots for some of her larger plants that were outgrowing their current pots.
"How an I going to get all this up dare." She muttered to herself, trying to talk around the keyring held in her teeth. Oh if only she hadn't waited so long to go out and get those pots; she knew she was going to have needed them.

Mau made sure he was quite when he returned. It was a little guilty pleasure to slip off for some shopping, even if he usually never bought anything. But this time had actually proved fruitful. He had managed to procure a Custap berry sapling. He'd been looking for one for some time, and he was excited to get it into a bigger pot- His train of thought derailed completely when he spotted an open SUV, and a woman standing there. He didn't recognize her, and was about to shrug it off when he noticed the cargo she had. LOOK AT ALL THOSE PLANTS!
Before he knew what he was doing, he was walking over to her to peer into the trunk. "You use miltank natural fertilizer too?"

Having felt the presence of another person come up behind her, Vironica didn't give much notice to Mau until he spoke. Even then, it was more of a side glance before she looked back to her load. Taking the keyring out of her mouth to talk properly, she nodded. "It stinks up the room and my neighbors complain, but it's the best stuff out there."
Her mind calculating and trying to figure out how she's get it all upstairs, she picked up the largest of the pots and put it outside of the car, then grabbed the fertilizer and started to pile it on the top of the pot. "Excuse me." She gave Mau a courteous smile, then climbed half way up into the SUV to grab the two flats of sprouts, which she pulled out and set on the ground next to the pot and fertilizer.
At this point, she stepped back and crossed her arms, looking hard at the remaining pots before giving up; she'd have to leave them here and hope that no one stole them. Turning her attention back to Mau, noticing the little Custap sapling. "Oh! Where did you find that! I've been looking for a Custap for months!" Holding out her hand to him to shake, she went right into introducing herself. "I'm Vironica."

"Quaint little shop in Jinko. It was quite a steal." He flashed the faintest of grins as he spoke before shifting the pot to one hand and holding his other out to grasp hers. "I'm Mau. It's a pleasure to meet you, Vironica." He lifted her hand slightly to kiss the back of it like a gentleman of court or high bearing.
"You have quite a handful there. Do you need help getting it inside?"

Instantly responding to the rather old-fashioned greeting, Vironica gave him a curtsy with her head perfectly flat; her parents had been stickler for her knowing how to be a 'proper lady' as a child. "The pleasure is mine, Mau."
"Saaaaaaaur."
Her eyes widening a little behind her glasses, she laughed a little. "Excuse me again." Slipping her hand out of his, she quickly rushed around to the passenger door and opened it to help her bulbasaur out. "I'm sorry Dianthus, darling."
"Bulba..." The pokemon grumbled a little, then walked over to the trunk to help with unloading. He gave Mau a curious look, then a vine came out to shake the man's hand.
Vironica stepped back around and smiled widely. "This is Dianthus. And... yes, I could use a little bit of help getting this all up to my room, if you have the time."

Mau's eyes widened at the bulbasaur. He took the vine and shook it in greeting with a smile. "My my, a handsome pokemon indeed! Are you going to help us too?" He asked softly, releasing the vine. That actually wasn't a bad idea. "Beg pardon." He took a step back and reached for his pocket, pulling out a pokeball. Soon, a blue-eyed vaporeon emerged from the red glow released from the pokeball. Mau knelt down to look at the vaporeon.
"Aki, would you run this up to the room? Be careful with... Are you listening to me?" The vaporeon was rolling on it's back in the grim on the parking lot floor. "Akiiii..." Giving up, Mau rubbed the pokemon's belly a little. "Now listen Aki, please take this up to the room, and be careful with it. Set it in the corner by the table." The vaporeon just stared blankly at him a moment.
"Por?" he rolled over and gently picked up the edge of the pot in his mouth.
"You know how to let yourself in. But please... try not to completely soak the floor this time." He was about to pet Aki, but as he was covered in filth from the floor, he opted not to. "And don't touch anything... Slip into the bathroom and lay in the tub a while." Aki gave a slight nod of his head and trot off.
Turning his attention back to Vironica, he smiled. "Now then, I have-" He checked his watch "about an hour before I'm due in the labs. I think I have a moment to spare."

"Bulbasaur!" Dianthus gave Mau a big smile and a nod. Of course he'd be helping to bring up some of the things for his trainer!
Vironica watched the Vaporeon cover itself with grime and covered her mouth as a small laugh escaped her. "You must have your hands full with that one. Dianthus, please take up the fertilizer, and be careful not to rip it." Brushing her long bangs from out of her face and hooking them behind her ear, she adjusted her glasses again.
"The labs? I don't believe I've run into you before there. Certainly I'd remember you if I had. Where do you work?" She took the time to take Mau in as a whole, and he was quite on the attractive side, but he must work in a different lab than her if she didn't recognize him. Leaning into the car, she started to pile pots into one another, debating if it would be wise to balance a flat of sprouts on the top of them.

"I'm part of the pokemon developmental department. Work with the cloning department sometimes. Mostly I play god with pokemon's moves though." He said with a laugh. He reached for the pokeball of his drifloon, and hesitated. She might cause more damage hen good. No, Nuu could stay in her pokeball. So what can I carry for you?"

"I see. I almost chose to go down that road, but instead chose to turn my focus to genetics. My primary focus is in the genes coding for pigmentation." Giving a soft grunt, she picked up her stack of pots, then gestured her chin towards the two flats of sprouts. "Would you please take those up and close the back?"
She shifted the pots in her arms, then looked down at Dianthus, who's vines were wrapped around the bags of fertilizer. "Alight, Dian, to the elevators." Casting a glance over to Mau, she gave him a smile. "Thank you for helping me."

Mau obliged and picked up the flats. With some careful maneuvering and a little bit of showing off, Mau closed the back of the SUV with his foot. "Don't mention it." He said to her thanks. "Have you been here at HQ for long? I've not seen you around. But then us lab rats, when do we really get out to socialize?" He chuckled. "Mm, you'll have to show me the way, because I haven't a bloody clue where your room is."

Vironica raised an eyebrow, impressed that her companion was able to close the back of the car, then she began the trek back to her room. "Well, I've been here for a month or so, not too terribly long, but I'm certainly not a seasoned member around the base."
Getting to the elevator, it took a few moments for Vironica to shift the pots in her arms enough for her to be able to hit the button to summon the elevator. "We're probably assigned in different lab teams though, which would explain why we've never met." She looked him over and sighed. "A shame, since it seems you're more in my age group." There had been one thing she'd been disappointed about; there were so many younger members she'd been working with. It made it awkward to listen to them talk about things, considering she was over 30.
