xxxx xxxx  | Andrew ||| Claire ||| Rani |Andrew and Claire stumbled into their dorm, His arm all bandaged up and her skin shedding.
They were tired out. After coming home from their first mission, the alarm rang for all the teams to
gather. Hurray, another mission. Ugh, not really.
A legendary. They fought against a legendary! They damn-well won, but they honestly didn't even
do that much to the fire god... the heatran. If it weren't for the other pokemon, they would have
been fried chatot. They were lucky unlike other pokemon... Like that grovyle. Or that salamance.
Claire let out a loud yawn and inched to her room while Andrew slammed the door behind them.
"If you need me, forget it. I'll be sleeping through the next month or so." the dratini muttered
to her partner, the empty room, and herself.
What they didn't notice was from the back of the kitchen padded out a seemingly upset Nidoran.
"So, how it go betches?" Rani asked, noticing the bag strapped around Andrew's
back. He noticed her view, groaned, and throwing it on the coffee table. The poison pokemon gasped
happily and ran up to the rewards. "Damn! Mama'll find a good use for this!" she shouted,
shuffling through the coins & items.
"Not a dime will be spent!" He shouted quickly. She let out a huff and looked for
a moment like she was going to shout back, but then thought it not worth and and instead snorted. She
went back to what she was doing in the first place instead.
"You all need to quit being so melodramatic." Rani cooed, playing around with a 100 PD coin.
Claire didn't look at either of them and she slithered silently inside her room. Andrew, however, shot
the new recruit a glare before heading into his own bedroom for the night.
"Lighten up a little." the nidoran smirked.
Okay, Claire had to admit to herself as she lay herself down, they were acting a little too helpless.
It wasn't like it was the end of the world and her and her partner were in death's bed. She knew she'd
feel tons better in the morning, probably as well as Andrew.
However, she think Rani was more focused on their reasons for the finanitial savings.

 KetsuekiKetsueki tilted her head, looked up at the sign on the door. Each team had their own sign, originally. They were simple, basic name-plaques with the team's name printed in ordinary, boring letters. One could tell when a team was new, because they'd have perfect, boring plaques. This was one of those teams.
She sighed softly. Maybe she should have gotten them a new label for their dorm... No; it was always fun to get a new one as a team, to represent the members inside.
The one she and Zori had chosen was actually quite elegant, with swirls of graceful leaves and swirling vines twirled around a translucent glass nameplate. A single blossom bloomed in the top corner...
She suddenly snapped back to reality, and withdrew the package from under the shelter of her cloak, pulling it out to examine her wrapping job one last time.
The giftbag was a shimmering gold, with white tissue paper peeking out the top. White, gold, and silver ribbons were expertly curled and tied around the straps, hanging down over the sides of the bag in a rather festive manner.
Inside the giftbag, a dark, velvet sack was inside, the opening end held tight with a silk ribbon. The two TMs for Andrew were within, an Ancientpower and a Giga Drain. She'd figured that the two would be strong, effective moves for the young Larvitar to learn. In fact, the latter wasn't even a part of the Ground-type's natural moveset; she hoped he'd like it...
She took a deep breath, and knocked on the door, her face lighting up with a smile as she heard footsteps nearing.
Time to give Andrew his gift.

| Andrew | The larvitar sat on the floor beside the couch, yawning. Wondering when his partner would return.
He had sorta hoped that he would be able to give out his gift first... sorta to get it over with. He didn't know
much about his Secret Santa victim, past what species he was and what-not.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard knocking on the door. Okay, a little to early for Claire to be back.
Someone else. He jumped up and walked up to the door, nearly having to reach up to the knob and pull it open.
There, he saw a women strange to him. A silver and pink ghost pokemon, oh wait! She was at the SS sign ups.
He saw the bright smile on her face and politely smiled back. "Oh, uh hi." he said, "Can I help you?"
The words stumbled out of his mouth almost awkwardly, not really knowing what to say.

KetsuekiSuki smiled brightly. "Hi... Andrew?" She kind of figured it must be Andrew; she had gotten a gift for a Larvitar, and there were rarely more than one of the same species per team. Especially in one so new. A lot of older teams had children running around.
"I'm Ketsueki, of Team Stormcloud." She introduced politely, with a slight tip of her hat. "I came to bring you your Secret Santa gift~"
With that, she held out the cautiously wrapped giftbag for him to take, unsure of whether or not she was supposed to simply leave now, or wait until he'd opened it. It wasn't like anyone was getting anything particularly huge for a gift, anyway. Just mission stuff, and battle equipment. She kind of wished that she could have gotten them something nicer, but at least she knew that the Larvitar could make use of what she'd gotten him.
Hopefully the two, round TM orbs inside would satisfy the Ground-type; Ancientpower and Giga Drain.

| Andrew | Andrew couldn't help but give a smile, one of honest means, at her polite gesture. "Well great.
He replied, taking the gift from her, being sure not to take it in any means that would imply snatching.
He took a moment took look at the layout. A nice silken with white and silver additions. He lifted up one of
the ribbons with his free hand. It must have taken her quite a bit to put this all together. Or at least, for
him it would seem. He couldn't never do that stupid trick with the ribbon and the scissors to save his life.
Anyways, the giftbag looked quite nice and it brightened him up. The effort was worth it.
God, even in his mind he could ramble.
He carefully took out the white paper and pulled out two round glass orbs.
Surprisingly, knowing himself,
he let out a big grin. "Tms?" Andrew held them up. "This is so awesome, thank you!"
He noticed how kinda odd the choice off attacks were,
at least, they were something he thought he'd never know.

KetsuekiSuki beamed in response, relieved that Andrew had liked her gift. She felt even happier that he'd taken the time to notice the wrapping; it had taken so long to do... So many people would just take it for granted.
"You're welcome~" Suki replied brightly, feeling much more confident about the whole Secret Santa thing. "I'm just happy that you like them; I was worried you wouldn't." She admitted, looking rather embarrassed.
Moves like those, so drastically different from their user; she liked to refer to them as 'back-up plans'. They were something that you could pull out of your sleeve when most needed, surprise your enemy, and give you an edge in battle.

| Andrew | He shook his head. "No, I love it!" Andrew replied, the smile
still plastered on his face. "I'm gonna use them right away... though." He paused,
looking at her. "Have to gotten your gift yet?"

Ketsueki"Not yet; I'm in Group A, apparently, so I'll get my gift later~" She explained, shaking her head. "I think Pluto; the old Leafeon who organized this thing, just want it to have some kind of order to it. He can be a bit of a stickler for the rules.... Then again, considering the chaos this guild gets into, that might be a good thing~" She giggled sheepishly. Pluto was a little bit more than a stickler for the rules, in her opinion. More like; obsessive-compulsive disorder, applied to rules and orderly conduct. She wasn't joking about the chaos, though. Since she'd joined the Guild of the Sun, the place had been going steadily downhill, in the way of safety and order.
"I'll admit, though, I'm more excited to see who my Secret Santa is, rather than what they bring~"

| Andrew | Andrew nodded and listened, trying to picture the elder leafeon in his mind doing... well, anything.
He shrugged the thought away. "Does it get hectic so often?" the larvitar asked, a little surprised.
The look on her face deemed amusement, but also showed that things have happened more then once.
"Oh okay." he laughed lightly and rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm just worried I'll hold you off and you'll miss it or something."

KetsuekiSuki blinked. "I wouldn't say so. I mean, how many 'Nico's can exist in the world? Sooner or later he'd going to die." She shrugged calmly, not seeming terribly concerned about it. She was used to the whole thing at this point. Her words were just a guess, but she figured they was true. Sure, the odd bit of drama here and there would happen, but the circumstances that the Guild of the Sun had been thrown into were... unusual.
She smiled at the consideration of the younger Pokemon in front of her. "You're probably right; I should be heading back soon~" The Mismagius agreed, tipping her hat once more. "It was lovely chatting with you, Andrew." She told him cheerfully, her body darkening with a ghostly aura. "Happy holidays, and good luck with the Secret Santa~!"
The Ghost Pokemon suddenly shot out of sight, disappearing straight down through the floor. The wonders of Shadow Sneak were always startling, to those who weren't used to it. The mischievous Ghost could be heard giggling from the shadows beneath the floorboards and she drifted off.

Bel Bel knocked on the door of team Serenity, a neatly tied bundle in his arms. Swearing off ribbons since he'd nearly mummified himself in them earlier, he'd let Elly wrap the presents for him, and the results were incredible to say the least... Even he was impressed!

Meheheheh. ;~; I feel so bad about the post again. [/insert sniff plz]
Uh... they were sick or out of the house then... rite? RITE? DD: okrlynao.
Cursseee yeww lady gaga and your songs being constantly stuck in my headd. ;~; xxxx | Andrew ||| Claire ||| Rani ||| Thomas |Andrew and Rani carefully slipped out of the hallway and into their dormroom. The larvitar squinted his face every time he put too much weight on his foot. The two of them glanced around, Thomas hadn't moved from his spot beside the lone egg bundled in blankets. Their eyes traveled over to the couch, giving sight to a sleep deprived Dratini, half of her body hanging on the couch. A sigh crept out of Andrew's mouth, they would have to be quiet. He stepped inside and started to shut the door quietly; Rani, however, seemed to be a little impatient. She instead slammed the door and paraded inside, headed directly into her room.
"You idiot- why would you even- ?" He began to hiss through his teeth, glancing over to the moving body on the couch. Thomas stayed still.
Claire lifted her head up sleepily, Andrew? Rani?" she called out, pulling herself up. "You guys are alright? There was so much commotion. Arceus knows how he could sleep through it all..." Her eyes flicked over momentarily over body of the fire type, nearly snoring. She sighed, having fallen asleep only minutes before. It had gotten so bad she had nearly ditched her teammate and made a sprint to the main-hall; There was still that little voice in her head that told them otherwise. She supposed it was a good thing she listen, they both seemed okay but most standards.
Andrew sighed. "It was pure madness..." He admitted, recalling the strange mutated body of Nico; Mercutio torn apart limb from limb like a doll, the Weavile breaking down... And for some reason, he swore there was probably a royal carpenter swearing and crying in frustration for the umpteenth time. "Most everyone is okay..." He stopped there, he didn't really feel like describing it to her. Claire seemed to understand.
"I'll see you in the morning, then." She said and curled up against a pillow, a gentle dismiss. Andrew nodded his head in silent thanks and walked up a stair or two to the hall ways that lead to their bedroom. On the way to his own personal space, he felt a sharp tug on his collar, as it turns out he was being dragging into a room against his will. Yay him!
"Rani?" he nearly growled. "What the hell?"
"I wanted to talk to you, remember?" She gave the larvitar a small smug and let go the bandana around his neck, then a strange glaze passed over her face. "So, err..."
Andrew let out a small groan. "Could we make this quick?" He had better things to do.. like sleep the night away... and sleep some more. The larvitar didn't fancy passing out on her floor.
"You know what, shut up!" She spat back. "Fine, itkillsmetosaythisbutthankyouforsavingmyassioweyouonenowgetthehelloutofmyroom!" She tried to shove him out.
"Woah, what?" Andrew stopped her, standing in the door way. "You're not serious are you?"
Rani huffed, glancing the other way. "Yes, it's the first time anyone's really done for me. Where I come from, you have to watch yourself or you're dead meat." Rani sighed softly, stepping back and attempting to grip the soft black fur on her head. "It sucks, but I don't have hard scales like my pop. I'm soft like my mom. That hit from Nico probably would have killed me."
Andrew frowned, nidorans had scales? Where was he... "Like you're mother..?"
"My mother was a Zigzagoon, idiot." She growled at him. "Every evolution past me is infertile. So I guess Pop had narrow choices and had to stick it to someone else..."
A small light bulb of understand could almost be seen over his head.
"Well, now you get the point, so now you can get out!" She gave her a final shove out the door and slammed it in his face.
Andrew barred his teeth, temping to slam the door back open and teach her some manners, but held himself back and chose to cure his exaustion first.
The team slept the whole day and night through.
A few nights later, a strange knocking could be heard on their front door.. and they were actually home! ( =3=;; ) Andrew stepped forward, cautiously opening the door.
"Can I come in?" came a simple voice. The larvitar narrowed his eyes in suspect, but nodded and allowed the strange inside. He seemed to be alone.
It was a Jolteon.
It was slightly lighter then normal they had all noticed at once; And as well as a bright turf of fur on his head, there were strange markings across his body, blue and red patters stringing in different places. One of his ears was nearly the abstract blue coloring. He carried a strange brace in his mouth, which he set down before him as he spoke.
"Uh... hey.." He muttered awkwardly, glancing around the room at them all. Everyone had stopped what they were doing. That is, Claire from dancing at her spot on the radio. Thomas from playing his card game and Rani laying lazily on the couch, flipping through a magazine. Tthey probably should have been doing a mission or something... but their roleplayer has issues, so instead they were all waiting vigilantly for the alarm they knew was going to come sooner or later. Lawl. They be lazy.
"Hello. Can we help you?" The dratini slithered forward, curiosity in her eyes.
Andrew slammed the door behind them, causing the electric pokemon to shift around uncomfortably. "Er.. yes.. I- he took in a good breathe. "Ever since I was little, I wanted to in a rescue team.. And now I want to help the guild! .. Let me join." With the sudden bravery he stared the dratini down.
Clare continued the stare, seemingly giving him a hard inspection. "Of course!" Or not. The dratini shouted gleefully and ran up to him. "We'd be happy to have you!"
The jolteon blinked. Well, that was easy. Andrew couldn't help but look on strangely. Who was this guy? And it wasn't like their team was very well known, why'd he pick them?
"So, what's your name, Jolts?" Rani called across the room, not even looking at him.
The pokemon flicked it's ear uncomfortably. "... I- can't say that I have one?" They all looked on with confusion. Claire repeated the question, nothing at all? He shook his head no again.
"Then we'll give you one." Claire decided firmly, flicking her tail when she heard a new song come on the radio. It was one from a strange pokemon, whom often raised many moral questions and seemed strange in society. Claire loved her anyways. "Sure, why not?!" The leader exclaimed happily, "We'll call you Judas!"
"I'm not sure I li-"
"Judas the Jolteon! It's perfect. Oh- ?" Claire stopped herself. "What's that in your mouth?"
"Judas" looked away a bit uncomfortably, seeing down the leather band at his feet. It appeared to have snapped in half a bit ago. Stitched and etched in was a jewel holder, keeping forever in place a small pendant shaped stone. It still shone pale colors of blue, red, and yellow; there was a strange aire radiating all around it.
"It's my good luck charm..." He explained quietly. "That stone was apparently fused with my egg when my parents found me.. It's weird because it's made me what I am.. I've never been an Eevee."
Thomas now spoke up, a small sweat drop of surprise running down his face. "Never?"
Judas shook his head. "No never. They said as soon as I hatched, I was a flareon; Then I turned into a vaporeon, then finally this..." Claire blinked slowly, that might explain the strange birthmarks then.
"It's broken." Andrew muttered, looking at the band.
"Yeah, that happened a few years ago, but I still carry it around."
The larvitar stepped forward, looking it over. "I think I can fix it?"
"Could you? But it doesn't even wrap around my ankle anymore. It's too small."
"I'll figure something out..." he muttered. Andrew seemed to get an idea and walked slowly over to a drawer, from inside he pulled out a bright red bandana; A signature style of their team. "I could sew these two together or something. It would work now."
"You and your freaky knowledge of sewing." Rani called, her eyes in a small roll. The larvitar simply snorted in reply and took of into his room, ready to work.
"T- Thank you!" Judas called after him, a small warmth of true appreciation shining in his eyes.
Claire hinted at the others to come with her and walked right up to the Jolteon for a formal greeting. A warm smile covered her face.
"Welcome to Team Serenity."
