         the door of the office closes after the escorts exit, along with the regular agents usually present, leaving just the two of them and a prolonged silence that breaks only after the footsteps have drawn far enough from the door.

          “  you should be aware of how unusual this situation is,  ”  the words come out low, his firm gaze never once leaving aiden.  “  so i won't waste time explaining it to you,  ”  there is no protocol to refer to, no rules to follow, no similar situation to reference from the past decade. giovanni couldn't blame the air of confusion surrounding the situation.

         then, he gestures towards the couch.

          “  sit down. we need to talk.  ”

⯈ Knock knock

     There’s a smile on Jax’s lips as Aiden finally holds the door open for more than two seconds. Bringing his hand around from his back, he seems to be holding a bag filled with stuff. What stuff? Who knows yet. It’s opaque. But it doesn’t look ominous at least.

     “A few things for you.” He starts, offering the bag out. Filled to the brim, Aiden can probably glimpse the snacks inside, containing all sorts from chocolate to chips. 

     “Much as I wish things were different between us, it cannot be helped. I am an asshole through and through. But I am also rich and can be caring." A smirk. “So at least stuff your face with fancy things before you get whacked.”

               huh?

@rrocketgrunt​

He teleports in with his alakazam, his eyes radiating chaotic energy while he peers down at Aiden.

“Where are you going? Are you afraid of something?”

[redtoomuchintoit]

@rrocketgrunt​:

"The one that will hunt you for sport and gut you when he catches you is, yeah..." 

“Heard it.” He gives a dismissive wave. “Done it, too. Not as scary as you think. Come back when he’s actually scary and not cliche as hell.”

⯈ Hi

@rrocketgrunt​

     “Oh hush, cuppycake. S’just lil ol’ me.” 

     Her face looks dead, pale as ever, lips pursed, only the burning ferocity in her eyes giving away that she’s not just a mindless zombie. She damn well feels like one right now though, hopped up on painkillers and energy drinks combined, plus some caffeine pills for good luck. But oh well. She isn’t dead. Yet. May be in a hour or two she will be as her heart races super fast, and she feels so energetic she wants to scream. But with a weary body, she felt the need to sit. So this guy had to do. She doesn’t know him nor recognize him from past times, but oh well. New person to annoy.

     “Ugghhhhh. What is this room anyway? Smells shitty.” And she glances around, leaning an arm across Aiden’s chest as a way to relieve herself from sitting upright. “Y’should clean up, ma man.”

“If you cannot pay the driver, then perhaps you should not take the cab. I’m fairly certain they aren’t cab drivers for their own amusement, and should be paid what they’re owed instead of being stiffed by tourists. 

Walking is healthier, even riding the shuttle is healthier...

...and the Gogoats at least seem to appreciate the interaction.”

⯈ You again

@rrocketgrunt

     Seemingly just taking a moment to observe the area as their eyes scan the scene for any dangers and the likes, Genesis looks at ease for the moment, until that sharp gaze fixates upon Aiden again. Like a Talonflame having found its prey in the shrubbery of a forest. They fail to suppress a smile, one of a devious nature that stretches the scar upon their lips, as they look to the Rocket’s hand that withdraws away from the Pokéball.

     “Clever man.” They say, so smooth of tone. Kind almost. Utterly false. “We wouldn’t want your poor mons being crushed now, would we?” Though it would delight them to see something fall, they weren’t so keen on obliterating Aiden’s team right now. No. They weren’t here to fight. Instead...

     “Tell me how you’ve been, Aiden. It’s been quite some time since we last stood face to face.” And on cue they straighten up, standing tall, chin jutted upwards to look down their nose at the Rocket. “And I won’t take no for an answer. You should know.”

Crichton firmly rejects the idea that there is a difference between a quitter and a traitor. 

Neither is more than a mouthful.

He casts a look towards Aiden, giving him one more once over.

“Are you sure?” he doesn’t make any attempt to move closer. Opting to respect Aiden’s space. 

“Do you know who, or WHAT that was about?”

[executivekojiro]

   “I’d offer to do away with that mouthy shit but I think at this point... Vexis has dibs.”

[haematophiliac]

     “Aiden is more like a leftover pizza. Was tasty the day before, should now be thrown away, but still holds that bit of temptation, intrigue, and flavour.”

[blue-orb]

@rrocketgrunt​ replied...

"I'd ask if you were hiring, but I'm not a strong swimmer."

   “We’re always hirin’! But if you’re comin’ from Rocket, and doin’ it to hide, you’re gonna have to bring somethin’ pretty big to make keepin’ you safe worth it.”

    “Like Giovanni’s underwear. At least one pair. I need it to laugh at him with.”

[crueliste]

        did the little fucker truly did think he could get away with it? did he have zero survival instinct?  well, all the better for proton.  few things were as amusing as that look of terror on aiden's now blood-smeared face. but he kept his promise of the head start, watching the grunt scramble up and flee.  oh, it made every joint in his body tense up with anticipation,  only fuelled more with the shot of dizzying adrenaline as he bolted after him.

         “  do you know what i'm gonna do to you, aiden?  ”  his voice echoed down the hallway, filled with indecipherable amount of enthusiasm.  “  i'll give you a mark you won't wash off  –  and then hang you on the main hall chandelier by your guts !  ”

@rrocketgrunt

Lux was standing in the hall patiently waiting. Cups in both hands.

His back was placed against the wall, only coming off when Aiden walked by.

"Hey there..." his voice is calm as he offers one of them to Aiden.

"How about that walk??" He doesn't have his usual snarky tone.
