Introductions [Silver & Ellie]

[thatspunkyredhead]

“Hey, can’t go wrong with a little variety here and there.” Ellie shrugged her shoulders and gave a brief chuckle. “But I guess you do have a point, thats like sending out someone on a mission when their actual role is one of those HQ scientists.” Even if she didn’t entirely agree with the other, he did bring up a good point.

“Since I’m at the bottom of the food chain, issues like that don’t really effect me that much. When there isn’t a mission, I fix things. Same applies when I don’t have anything to fix.”

[passerbyrivalsilver-blog]

“Yeah, but this team is a mess.” Silver muttered, crossing his arms as he glanced away with a frown. He was so heated up about the topic of the team being a mess that he didn’t even care about hiding his identity anymore-- something he’d probably come to regret.

“Bottom of the food chain, huh? Hmph. Don’t you care about moving up in the world? You sound content being where you are.” he pointed out with a sneer. “Me? I’m gonna run this damn place soon enough. And when I do I’m gonna whip it into shape.”

Monster Explanation

So I will be participating with drabbles and threads but I thought I’d just put some general stuff here for when it comes time to do it. If you wanna thread with Silver for the event just hmu.

Explanation under the cut!

Silver is a myling! This is an undead child (phantasmal incarnation?) who was abandoned by their parents. Usually they jump onto people’s backs and demand to be carried to the nearest cemetery for a proper burial although as a person gets closer to the destination the child gets heavier and heavier. If the person can’t get the kid to the cemetery, the kid kills them. 

Silver did this quite a bit in his youth and found that the nearest cemetery to Goldenrod was quite some ways away-- and thus really never got anywhere. He got older (since undead phantasmal beings can grow) and really just gave up on ever getting a proper burial. Now he just wanders around the city, considering himself a little too old to try and latch onto people.

Are there any obstacles you are having trouble overcoming?

Currently?

Yeah, a lot. And they’re all really annoying people.

Myself included.

Can you dance?

Uh… kinda?

I mean I never took any classes or anything and I don’t know any real dances but I can still dance.

Introductions [Silver & Ellie]

[thatspunkyredhead]

“Silvers an alias right or is that your real name? Either way, thats a pretty cool name!” Technically her name was a shorten version of her first and last name. Since Ellie Lexi had a better jingle to it then Eliza Lexington.

“I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one, I actually like that theres a variety to do besides fixing things around base. Not to say that I speak on behalf of everyone else. But you kind of get the idea.”

[passerbyrivalsilver-blog]

“I guess.” Silver shrugged, never really one to care about his name one way or the other. “It’s my real name though.” he added on. He might as well tell her since it was obvious she didn’t recognize it. There was no point of him needing to hide his identity from her.

“Seriously?” he replied, making a face at her enthusiasm. “I mean I guess you’d get bored of the same stuff... But really this team is such a mess. They shouldn’t have to send you out on field missions if that isn’t what you main job is. Y’know? They really just need to get it together.”

Introductions [Silver & Ellie]

[thatspunkyredhead]

“Holy arceus! Seven years? Well I won’t dive into why you came back, because its none of my business.” If he though Team Rocket was a stupid organization, then why did he come back? Unless he had some unfinished business to attend to. It certainly wasn’t to meet every member, thats for sure. 

“Other than the mechanic, the names Ellie Lexi. I’ve been with Rocket over a year now and I haven’t regretted my time here one bit. But of course I do the occasional mission every now and then as a grunt too.”

[passerbyrivalsilver-blog]

Well at least she wasn’t going to try and pry into his past. He could respect her for that much. She didn’t seem that bad. Not exactly someone he’d hang out with (though he really didn’t have anyone he hung out with) but she hadn’t given a reason for him to hate her yet so she had that going for her.

“Ellie... Got it. I’m Silver.” he replied. If she was only here for a year then there was no reason for her to recognize the name, right? Surely no one around the base had talked about him before he returned. 

“So they still send grunts out for missions even if they’re more suited for other work? Typical...” he muttered, glancing away. It seemed the more he learned of the new team rocket the more he realized it was still the old one he hated with a burning passion.

Alone in the Hallwait a second-| Closed for Silver

Two hours or so after settling in and getting her work in order, Ariana made her way to the break room, presumably to think over her rather large workload Roark had told her about

“How can I possibly have so much work? Is it even that important? Or do they think that it will keep me from taking another extended vacation?” she asked herself, turning the corner and then she saw… him

“Oh my god is that- Silver?” She thought to herself “He came back? WHY did he come back??” she asked herself, then getting her bearings, taking a few deep breaths and then calmly proceeding with-

“Silver! Hello, nobody told me you’d be here! My, you’ve grown quite a bit since I saw you last-” She stated calmly, looking down at him, then asking “So if I may ask, where have you been?”

[passerbyrivalsilver-blog]

Silver’s head snapped up when he heard his name called and he was met with another redhead. There were a lot of those around base, weren’t there? But of course this couldn’t have just been any redhead it had to be Ariana. Great.

He narrowed his eyes, crossing his arms as he glanced away from her. “Yeah I didn’t tell anyone I’d be back...” he muttered, looking back at her when she asked her second question. Geez, who did she think she was talking to him like this? Like some kinda relative you only see on holidays... he wasn’t a child anymore. He didn’t need people to tell him how big he looked now.

“What’s it to you? You tryin’ to keep tabs on me like everyone else in this damn organization?” he snapped coldly, frowning. “You weren’t here when I got here so really... shouldn’t I be asking you where you’ve been? After all you’re the one that works here.” he added on bitterly.

Fancy Meeting You Here [Silver & Lyra]

[dischordisms]

Lyra wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings. That would have meant looking up and letting people see her face. No, it was safer - arguably - to focus on her feet and the floor in front of her. Of course, that, again, meant not paying attention to her surroundings and most certainly not looking around corners before she turned, resulting in smacking her face against someone’s chest.

“Sorry… sor-” His voice seemed familiar somehow. Now where had she heard that anger before? Her mind flashed to Pokemon battles and Cherrygrove City and a Feraligatr and her eyes widened. Quickly, the short girl tilted her head back and there was that oh-so-familiar mop of red hair and that face wearing a familiar angry expression and she stepped back instinctively.

“S-Silver?” The shock was evident. Why was he here? Didn’t he hate Team Rocket? Granted, so did she, but this was something she would have never expected. Lyra was tempted to pull out her glasses and make sure her farsightedness wasn’t causing her to see something else. “What the hell are you doing here?”

[passerbyrivalsilver-blog]

Silver wasn’t even really listening to the girl’s apology to angry to focus on the words she was saying but when she paused and looked up, that’s when he started to pay attention. He knew that voice... he knew that face... and then it hit him. 

Was his entire past here to torture him?

“Lyra?” he responded, an equally shocked tone in his voice. “N-No, I have a reason to be here. You- You have no reason. If anyone should be asking someone why the hell they’re here, it’s me. Didn’t you beat the pokemon league? What’re you doing in some weak scum organization like this?” he continued, narrowing his eyes.

He took a moment to look over her now that he was done yelling at her. She really hadn’t changed all that much had she? Like... seriously. Had she grown at all since that had last seen each other? She was making him feel tall and that usually wasn’t something he felt around most people.

What is your favorite soup?

“Um... alphabet...”

“But don’t go tellin’ anyone...”

[passerbyrivalsilver-blog]

☛ : Were you heavily punished?

“No. I got away with everything.”

“To be honesty I probably could’ve gotten away with murder… Y’know, I bet that woulda been encouraged now that I think about it.”

[passerbyrivalsilver-blog]

Worst influence on you as a kid?

☣

“That one’s easy.”

“I was raised by a criminal organization. Although the absolute worst would probably have to be my old man. I got into a crap-ton of trouble thanks to his ‘life lessons’ when I was little.”

Anything you wish you could cut out? 

“Am I allowed to say all of it? Because all of it.” 

“My childhood was just awful. If I could cut it out from my life I absolutely would. In fact, some might say I already have for a good part of it.”

New Faces [Silver & Sapphire]

[passerbyrivalsilver-blog]

shadowedsapphire:

Sapphire looked up as she heard someone call out to her, her eyes lifting form the file in her hand. A red-headed young man had called out to her, and she waved a hand in his direction hesitantly. She had never seen him before, which she could fully understand, what with her spending most of her time either in the lab, the infirm or with Damian. 

“Yeah, hi, I’ve got a minute. What’s up?” She tucked the file into the small messenger bag at her hip, shifting her lab coat to do so. He looked to be close to her age, and she was sure she would have remembered that bright red hair had she seen it before. She gave a soft smile before putting her hand out, offering it in a shake.

“My name’s Sapphire, I don’t think I’ve seen you around base before?”

Silver looked down at her hand for a moment before shaking it. He really wasn’t one for such formalities but he did have a good (if not a bit too strong) handshake regardless. He looked over her now that he had her attention. She looked around his age... so the team seemed to appeal to younger people still? Disgusting. At least it wasn’t going around recruiting little kids...

“I’ve been gone for a few years or so.” he replied. “I know you weren’t here when I left so, yeah, there’s no chance you woulda seen me around here before now.” he added on, moving his hands into his pockets as he gave a small shrug.

“Name’s Silver.” he mumbled at the end of his explanation, figuring he might as well tell her. There was a small chance she’d recognize the name, right?
