Nyx had been busy since the raid. There were projects to tend to, injured people to visit, and pokemon to tend to, as always; It had seemed like she'd have no time for her favorite hobby, but finally, she had some free time. Nyx had plans to curl up in the lounge with a blanket, watch a sci-fi marathon, and eat a bowl of chocolate mousse with strawberries. It would be the best day off ever.
The fluffy haired scientist gathered bowls, a double boiler, strawberries, a whisk, and cream, and was just about ready to start. All she needed was the chocolate kept in one of the cabinets in the kitchen. Nyx reached up and opened the cabinet, expecting to find chocolate and no surprises.

A toaster, unplugged and sitting directly underneath the cabinet Nyx was heading for, sat alone and a good distance away from its fellow appliances. It was obvious it hadn't been used recently, so the reason why it had been placed there wasn't immediately apparent. That would change, however, as soon as someone opened the cabinet. And, unfortunately for Nyx, she would be that someone.
As the cabinet door opened and harsh light suddenly filled the cabinet, the sight Nyx would see consisted of not one, but two surprises. The first was the presence of a chubby shiny Pikachu, who managed to fill almost the entire bottom shelf with his pudgy body. The second surprise was the chocolate smeared all over his face, and the nearly empty bag in his dirty paws.
Uh-oh.
He'd been caught red-handed. Or in this case, chocolate-pawed. Or something. He didn't care which, really, because chocolate was worth any punishment imaginable. So he simply sat there, peering out of the cabinet at the fluffy-haired lady, and shoved another paw-ful of chocolate into his mouth. "Chffuuw?" Mmmmm, chocolate...
At that same moment somewhere not far from the kitchen, a black-haired woman was storming down the hallway, left arm in a cast that was covered in pink scribbles similar to the skills of a two-year-old with a marker, intent on finding and punishing her trouble-making little rodent. When she got her hands hand on him, he would be in some serious trouble.

Nyx let out a startled yell as she opened the cabinet and saw the despicable pikachu. Of all the things in the world it could have been, it had to be a pikachu! It took the scientist a moment to move past her innate fear of the electric rodents and notice that the beast was covered in chocolate. Her chocolate. Her chocolate that she was going to use for the perfect evening snack. "Gha! No! That was mine!"

Zeus paused in his chocolate gorging to peer into the bag. There was still a little bit left in the bag, maybe about three-quarters of a cup, and his ears twitched a bit. With a sigh, he held the bag in one paw and offered the remains of the chocolate to the fluffy-haired scientist. If she was going to yell about it...
Claire gritted her teeth when she heard the yell coming from the kitchen, knowing exactly the cause of the sound without even getting there yet. She stomped over to the door and slammed one open, violet eyes glaring around the room. "Where--" There was a person, and obviously she had discovered her Pikachu, thus the yell, it had to be, so Claire stormed over and grabbed the Pikachu by the scruff and yanked him out of the cabinet. The electric-type gave a startled, muffled little yelp. The little devil still had chocolate in his mouth, which made his cheeks puff out like a squirrel pretending it wasn't hiding nuts in its mouth. "You--" Ohh, he was in for it. "You are going on the treadmill for a freaking month!" She would think of more punishments later, but right now she was too angry to think straight.
She paused, then, turning to look at the other woman and trying to calm herself. It didn't work too well. "I apologize -- ah," an agent. She should obviously salute, but her right hand was currently holding the Pikachu to keep him out of mischief, and her left was disabled for the next several weeks. Rats.. "I further apologize for not saluting, but I don't want to let him go so he can run off and cause anymore trouble than he already has." Curse not being able to use her left hand, curse breaking the damned arm in the first place, curse Leonard for being... being... Leonard, curse the whole damned raid... "I'm Claire, by the way," she offered after that string of inner curses, hoping she didn't sound rude. She didn't want to go offending an agent today, but probably indirectly had because of her terror's behavior.

Nyx looked suspiciously at the electric rodent, and took the bag of remaining chocolate. It was just barely enough for what she had planned. "... Hmph." And then the trainer came in. A girl who looked familiar... From the raid? Likely, seeing as her arm was broken.
It seemed everyone had a trouble-making pokemon. "Uh... There isn't too much damage, so, I guess it's alright." If he'd eaten all of the chocolate, things may have been different. "Nyx." She introduced herself, since the other girl, Claire, offered her name.

Claire eyed the bag in Nyx's hands, slightly surprised Zeus hadn't eaten every ounce of chocolate in said bag, and even moreso because he'd shared. Perhaps he was improving...? Maybe. "Still, I'm really sorry. For some reason he thinks that now that my arm's broken, I won't give him chocolate cookies ever again, so he has to find his own source of chocolate. Which has so far been here," she explained with an irritated sigh and a glare at the fat furrball in her grasp.
Said furrball simply harrumphed and crossed his arms, brown-tipped ears flicking back as he began to pout.
Even if Nyx vaguely recognized her, she didn't remember the agent at all. Then again, most girls had significantly changed their appearance for the raid - or at the very least, changed their hair. "Pleasure to meet you, Agent Nyx," Claire offered, still at a partial loss of what to do since she was currently no-handed, the Pikachu still dangling from her firm grip. "I'm sorry the circumstances weren't better. Ah.. Is there enough chocolate left for whatever you were making?" For Zeus' sake, she certainly hoped so. If not, he'd be on the treadmill for two months, the little...

"Oh, yes. Just barely." Thank goodness... It would have been terrible if her relaxing day had been ruined by her least favorite pokemon. The agent put the remaining chocolate into the waiting double boiler and started whisking away at the cream while the sweet bars went about slowly melting. "It's alright..." She sighed, switching hands, the mixing seeming to calm her. "Sometimes they get out of hand."

"Oh good," she breathed, incredibly relieved it was enough. If it hadn't been, well, not only would Zeus be on the treadmill for two months, she'd owe the fluffy-haired agent some chocolate. And maybe some cookies, or something... But, thankfully, she didn't have to worry about any of that. And Nyx seemed to understand her plight, which was even better, so she agreed with an exasperated sigh and a nod. "Yeah, they do sometimes. Hopefully I can get him to stop this behavior as soon as possible."
She couldn't help her curiosity though, as she watched the other woman make the... whatever it was. "What is that you're making?" If it had chocolate, it had to be good.

Nyx nodded, "I hope so. You might get unlucky next time and he'll cross paths with someone like Seth." She chuckled at the thought. Seth certainly would not be amused with the chocolate crazed rodent, and he was by no means understanding, or nice.
"Ah. I'm making chocolate mousse. For the strawberries." The agent motioned to the bowl of strawberries sitting near by, soaking in a pool of their own delicious juices.

Ugh, Seth. Having the disobedient, chocolate-obsessed Pikachu run into the grumpy elite would likely get her chewed out at the very least. He'd probably assign her cleaning duties for a year or something, too. "Ugh, I hope not. That'd be absolutely horrible." Though why Nyx was chuckling was beyond her. Maybe the thought of Seth getting coated in chocolate from an eager Pikachu. ...actually, that was an amusing thought.
"Chocolate mousse?" The curious young woman repeated, peeking into the double boiler and studying what the fluffy-headed scientist was using to cook with as she ignored the whines of her electric type. The mention of anything chocolate - and anything with 'chocolate' in its name was undoubtedly edible and delicious - made him want it. No, he didn't want it, he needed it. His cries fell on deaf ears as Claire continued to hold him by the scruff in her good hand. "Any particular reason, or..? I haven't made anything in quite a while, myself. I should make cookies again..." The last comment was made largely to herself as she pondered the delicious extra chocolatey cookies that she had to hide from Zeus. Greedy little chocolate-obsessed rat.

"It's my day off. I was planning on watching T.V. in the lounge tonight." Nyx sighed and switched hands to keep whisking away at the cream. It was starting to get airy and light, less like milk, but the process was taking a lot of elbow grease.
The mention of cookies elicited a brow raise from the Agent. "You make cookies?" She made cookies, all the time in fact.

"Ooh, that sounds like a wonderful night off," she commented honestly. Relaxing with T.V. and chocolate mousse. Mm, she might have to try that now. Though the mention of cookies again made her eyebrows raise. "Oh, yes. Chocolate chip sometimes, but usually I make double-chocolate with mini-marshmallows," she explained, and the mention of such cookies elicited a small wail from the Pikachu who began squirming in her one-handed grasp. He wanted those cookies. He wanted them right now. It didn't matter that he was full of pure chocolate, he wanted cookies.
Claire frowned at him, uttering a sharp "Zeus, stop it," before focusing on the agent again. "I could get you the recipe if you'd like," she offered, seeing as Nyx had sounded interested at the mention of cookies. Zeus too, but he didn't count.
