Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jack had nodded off during the hour he had been left in the chair after he had talked to Xander and agreed to join team rocket. Which was understandable when one was kidnapped out of bed during the middle of the night and then tied to a chair and used as a hostage. Jack blinked sleepily and left out a confused sound as he woke to the door opening. He was confused for a moment, unsure of why he was tied to a chair and not sleeping in his bed before he remembered what happened during his nap.

"I'm glad." He said with a smile. He blinked wincing a bit as the light in the room hight his eyes for the first time in hours. He took a moment to look over his new friend, He looked older than Jack, his hair was soft shade of yellow and his eyes seemed grey like Jack's only without the faint trace of blue. "So everything is set then? " he asked softly. he wasn't sure if his father knew about the new deal or not nor did he really want to find out. just thinking of the man sent a shiver down Jacks spine.

"Do I share a room?" He asked, it seemed unlikely to him that he would have his on room being such a low rank. He figured that it would have been like dorms or something with rows up bunk beds, well it still could be with a specific bed so there was no fighting over them. "I'm Jack, but I guess you all ready know that huh?" He said with a small soft laugh. "No pokemon, wasn't allowed." He said simply before thinking of home and his stuff. "I don't really have much of any value, mostly just cloths and things for school. But uh there is a photo of my mother next to my bed. And uh well umm there is a pokedoll, hidden in my pillow, its a meowth. Those are about the only important things I own." He said, a slight blush on his face from the mention of the stuffed animal. He knew it was childish but he couldn't bear to part with it.

Jack nodded it was as he expected, he hoped that the other trainees were okay and that they wouldn't take his things. What would the others think of him? Would they be nice or cruel knowing that he was a cops kid? He wasn't really sure what he should expect from this new place and the people in it.

He nodded his thanks to Xander before he realized that the Grunt was planing on breaking in and grabbing it personally. His eyes widened and he grabbed Xanders arm. "No you can't! He'll ....He'll kill you!" Jack warned concerned for his new friend, he knew how furious and violent his dad could be especially when it came to thieves. Once he realized what he had done jack jumped back and let go of Xanders arm his eyes instantly drooping to the floor, he stood like that, waiting for a strike that despite his belief from past experience, would most likely never come.

Jack took a shaky breath and nodded, it was a moment before he felt it was safe for him to move again. "There might be a cop or pokemon on watch." He doubted his father would leave the house unguarded again. Xander seemed to have quite a few pokeballs on his belt, it must have taken a while to catch that many. So they were still going through with the deal, or would at least until they backed out on their end, because of him. He felt bad, but this was what was best for him right? To live a life without fear? Although he couldn't seem to shake the habits his father had ingrained in him. "He's going to be furious" Jack whispered softly. He hoped that the people who were dealing with him didn't get hurt. If they did the higher ups will probably take it out on him.

Jack stretched, he ached from being in the chair and his arms and legs hurt from the tight ropes that had bound him but they were not as bad as some of the bruises his father had given him. Jack smiled as Xander put his hand on his shoulder. "Your right." He was far away from his father, he didn't need to fear his wrath any long. Jack nodded, he wasn't used to talking so much. "Yeah." He was ready to leave this cage like room.

Jack's first few steps were a bit wobbly, his legs were tired from being stuck in the same position for so long but he soon manged to get himself steady and followed Xander out the door. He was going to get a pokemon? The thought excited Jack, he all ways wanted a pokemon but his father refused to allow him to have one, the cop had said that pokemon were for people who worked for them and not pathetic weaklings like him.

The idea of having to steal one made him a bit nervous, he wasn't sure what would happen if he failed his first mission but he doubted it would be good. He also didn't think that he would be any good at stealing. He wondered how long it would take to get his uniform, hopefully he would be able to change out of his pajamas soon and get more cloths. He wasn't sure if Xander would just get the items he requested or of he would grab some of Jacks cloths as well. Jack wasn't really concerned either way.

The different branches sounded interesting, he wasn't sure what if anything he would be good at but he was positive would stay out of the kidnapings devisions and anything that had to do with killing people. He would rather not hurt people if he could help it.

Jack nodded it sounded like he had a lot of decisions to make. "So we need side jobs to make money?" That made sense he supposed, the work they did for the team went to the bills for them living on base and stuff. he wondered if he had to pay to eat here. "What do you breed?" He asked hearing Xander talk about his side job. Jack nodded and took the card looking it over.
