The Gengar would smile for a few reasons. He was looking for Ruric but couldn't say why. Another is because he was close to getting his revenge. The bastard killed him in his previous life, and he could get his revenge. "Well, he's an Umbreon with a scar across his nose. Probably hangs out with an Espeon and Amphoras. See, they helped me out awhile back, though I never got the chance to thank them properly."

He'd make sure each of these three paid. He'd start with this guild. He was sure they didn't know everything that those three had done. Of course he couldn't come out right and say it. But he could publicly thank them for silencing a problem he had. He was sure a good upstanding guild would want to know what he meant about that. And he could sneak in something triggering for Ruric as well.

Lucy nodded, "I understand. That sort of determination can be a great motivator."

In fact, most folks who join this guild are motivated by loss of some sort. Even H. And that's why it's hard to turn away potential recruits. But even so, they still have a long way before they can be full fledged members.

She held out a paw and said, "We'll see what we can do about your application... What's your name?"

While he can't be so quickly processed right now, having his name on file could help.

[dayglow-company]

He would shake her hand. As far as he knew the Ghastly he was impersonating didn't have one. So he'd have to make something up here and now.

"I've been going by Shade recently. Unfortunately one of the things you lose is your name. But I hope I can get the chance to help others the same way that I was helped." Keeping up the lie would be very difficult right now. He knew Lucario's could sense emotion so he had to be somewhat genuine when speaking with this one.

Still, his ire was on Ruric and the other two. He'd do his best to keep this Grey Warden guild out of it. But if they got in his way than he'd have to get rid of them.

[chxsingtheshxdows]

She nodded and wrote down a few things after stealing just a few more glances his way, "Shade it is then. Alright."

She stuck a paw out with the intention of offering them a gair shake as she beamed, "Well met, and I hope to see you again soon."

For the time being, she seemed to be rather oblivious of his anger bubling under the surface. She was just taking him at face value. After all, what reason would she have right now to peer any deeper than she already was?

[chxsingtheshxdows]

"Would you rather I be the one to tell Cam she's got a piece of dirt in her hair or you?" To H.

H snorts and says, "if it's you, or me... I can do it. She likes getting brushed anyway."

"Oh, I'm sorry. But I'm afraid those pokemon don't work here."

She wasn't sure why they would think they did to begin with. While yes, they did work with them a number of times and stayed nearby while trials were underway, but H did try to make sure they could operate as independently as possible. That also included them being able to go off and do their own thing, no strings attached.

She gave the Gengar a soft shrug and said, "I can't help you."

[dayglow-company]

With that his smile would fade. Everything he found connected them to the Grey Wardens. "They didn't join you? But I thought their names were cleared with no strings attached. But I guess the media did slightly embellish on the details." He was starting to think on how he could get the three here when Vivienne walked out of a room.

"Hey Lucy, you're getting a lot of reports of criminal activity in one dungeon. This might be nothing, but I think it'd be a good idea if someone was sent out to check it out." She said this holding quite the pile of papers when she noticed the Gengar. For her something about him seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.

[chxsingtheshxdows]

Lucy smiled as she stood up from her desk, "Ah! Thanks for the heads up."

She wandered over to Vivi and took a few of the papers to look over real quick. How strange... A lot of reports and criminal related jobs come through the guild every day, but it's not often a lot of them wind up coming from the same place. That hardly bodes well...

They let out a sigh and said, "And H is still busy with that damn Gala... I guess I need to figure out a team to send to investigate these sightings."

It was as she scanned through more reports, it is almost as if she had forgotten about the Gengar that had approached her mere moments ago.

[dayglow-company]

"If you want me, Jack, and Ruric to we could go check it out. It might just be a popular hiding place for thieves. And that's what all of these are. And it makes sense. A mountain dungeon, especially one of this length, is a good place to hide. Very few teams could get through it all, and because of how

He would wave to Vivian with a smile. "Hello again. You probably don't remember me, but you helped me deal with a problem. Thanks to you a lot of people were saved. And I wanted to thank you properly for dealing with the pokemon behind it all." Everyone now knew that these three weren't how they were before his initial death so he hoped this would get questions asked.

Hearing that the color would drain from Vivienne's face. She didn't know how much Lucy and H knew, but she knew that it wouldn't be good if it got public that her and Ruric worked to kill other mon. Even if those mon were all kinds of awful.

[chxsingtheshxdows]

Lucy made a small nod of understanding, "Ah! So that's that. What happened, if you don't mind me asking? Hostage situation, terror attack? Trafficking?"

She seemed to deflate softly and comment, "All of those are pretty terrible situations, so I am glad that it was handled with care. Bastards who resort to those sorts of things..."

She clenched a paw, nearly crushed one of the papers she was holding, "Sometimes jail is too good for them."

But she was getting a little ahead of herself, a little too heated. She took a deep breath and said to Vivi, "You and your team found this one, you guys have first dibs."

[dayglow-company]

Hearing Lucy go on like that did ease the mega Amphoras a bit as she smiled.

The Gengar, however, had to remind himself to stay calm. Despite his inner shock that an official guild member would speak like that, and that she apparently knew of their dirty deeds. "It was a trafficking situation. See, I had lost my life because of this group. It's a little selfish of me to say...but...I wanted revenge more than anything..."

Vivienne would sigh hearing all of that. There was only one pokemon that fit the description, but at the time he would have been a Gastly. "Crimes against kids is never okay. I'm just sorry we didn't get to you in time. But Ruric made sure they got what was coming to them." The idea that their actions did indeed make a difference did make her happy.

[chxsingtheshxdows]

At that, Lucy did actually crumble the piece of paper, "Yeah... I am glad Ruric was there."

She spoke through gritted teeth but once again swallowed her anger. Thus was not the time, nor the place for that sort of thing. She did her best to uncrumple the paper and hand it back to Vivi before she went and destroyed any other paperwork.

"You guys have this... Please excuse me, I need to go... do soemthing."

She didn't want to explode. Not here...

[dayglow-company]

By the time she came back she would find the Gengar alone, and filling out an application for the guild. Upon him noticing her return he smiled. "Vivienne had to take those reports to H while you delt with your...business. but when I asked about joining the guild she gave me this application. I might not have much experience in this kind of work, but I'm more than determined to try my best!" And ruin whatever happiness his murderer, Ruric, had obtained.

He lost all of his previous memories, but there were a few things he did remember. He had run a guild. Ruric, Jack, and Vivienne had been a part of that guild. Than Ruric killed him. And the desire to seek revenge kept him going all of these years. And he was ready to ruin that Umbreon's life.

[chxsingtheshxdows]

Lucy smiled softly and said, "I appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to join The Grey Wardens, but a few written exams and paperwork will only get you so far."

She sat down beside them and asked in a rather serious tone, "criminal investigation is a very harsh field of work. Rewarding when you get to save lives, but o hope you are not joining us just for the clout."

This world... It can chew you up and spot you out. Even the most hardened on Mons can still find trouble with this, and the the gs she herself has seen will haunt her forever.

"I'd love to, little buddy."

[chxsingtheshxdows]

With Jack, Ruric, and Vivienne having their names cleared they had decided to try and start their old guild back up. But this would get the attention of a Gengar who showed up at the Grey Wardens guild. And so he would approach the receptionist desk. "Sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for someone."

Lucy would smile at the newcomer and say, "Ah, welcome to the Grey Wardens guild. My name is Lucy, how may I help you?"

She knew they were looking for someone, but she couldn't exactly help with that without any details~

@dayglow-company

[chxsingtheshxdows]

Lucy grinned softly as she asked, "You mean H hasn't offered you a job yet?"

Honestly, with both of their track records she would have expected Rivor to have been on the payroll long before the two of them were even a couple. Then again... H does have his reasons for not inviting someone to join the family.

In any case, she was just glad her lover was able to find the time to visit every once in a while. It breaks up the boredom and brightens her day.

She placed her paws atop his claws and hummed softly, "You smooth operator..."

[separated-at-danger-muses]

The Sandslash kept his arms and claws wrapped around the Lucario, his lips planting some much-needed kisses on her neck. It was always quite the strong feeling for him to come together with Lucy, especially after a particularly longer period.

" He did. Well, kind of. Not work that lands me here anyway. "

He wasn't sure how much he should share about it. H did tell him to keep the jobs he gives to Rivor on the hush-hush. Whichever way, he didn't mind right now. His attention was fully on Lucy right now.

" Smooth operator, huh ? I like that nickname ~ "

[chxsingtheshxdows]

"Oh, you are just now getting the point~?"

Something about Rivor always put her in the best of moods. It's easy to understand why, though. She was absolutely smitten with him. Enough to overlook him being a criminal and all that and just enjoy being loved.

"I am sure H has his reasons for what you do... He always does."

"I do wish that eventually we'll have the chance to work together, though... we go well together."

[chxsingtheshxdows]

She says nothing. But she is totally judging a certain someone right now. You know what you did.

[separated-at-danger-muses]

@chxsingtheshxdows I Continued from here

The Sandslash smiled after hearing Lucy respond. It felt so good to finally have some privacy with the Lucario after such a long time apart.

" You know me, girl ... I always show up when the time is right ~ "

He said as he teasingly wrapped his arms around her front while his front pressed against her back. His claws ran soothly across her smooth fur, an excited purr in the back of his throat as he embraced the Lucario.

" I'm still considering getting a job here so I can be closer to you ~ "

[chxsingtheshxdows]

Lucy grinned softly as she asked, "You mean H hasn't offered you a job yet?"

[chxsingtheshxdows]

Like the sneaky thief he is, Rivor had snuck his way into Lucy's place in the office, smirking the whole way.

" So … how long until I have you all to myself~ ? "

Lucy beams as she sees Rivor wandering in, looking quite relieved to see him.

"I was wondering when you'd show up."

And then she looked to be a little remorseful as she gestures to a stack of papers on her desk, "Work has had me swamped after that earthquake opened up a new mystery dungeon a few weeks ago. I am still processing the job requests..."
