O B E Y

♕ the queen is dead ♕ In my life, why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live, or if I die? "Sorry baby, now get ready to be thrashed!" Drop of a hat, she's as willing as playful as a pussycat.

ooc:

I wanted to apologize for the lack of responses/replies from Ariana, and Volkner. I've gotten busy in the past week with packing, and then flying back to college. I'm all settled into my apartment now, but my parents, and sister leaving today. I'm more than likely going to be spending my last day with them, and then hang out with friends who recently came back as well. Hopefully Saturday night/Sunday/Monday I should be able to get back to RP replies for both accounts. I apologize again, for the lack of activity on both accounts.

Thank you.

[ Lie ]

Lying is like second nature to Ariana. 

She lies, a lot, and it's usually when extracting information from someone. The Rocket Executive is a master at manipulating others into giving her what she wants, and she is certainly not above lying to them. She'll dance around them, lying to their faces, while looking as if the words she was spewing were the truth. Truth be told, she's quite brilliant at lying, but.. 

She doesn't necessarily always enjoy it. 

Ariana will lie to people to get information from them, but when it comes to her loved ones, she.. doesn't like the idea of lying to them. Maybe not telling them the whole truth, but she won't flat out lie to them. She just finds that frustrating, and as nice as it would be to lie to them if it meant protecting them, it.. just never sat well with her.

Babies

Ariana never really cared for babies.

In all honesty, she found them to be annoying little diaper bags that took up time, and money.. she even found them intolerable. At a young age, she found them bothersome, and swore she'd never have her own child.. 

Until she met Giovanni. Somehow, the couple had fallen in love, and were devoted enough to have a child with each other. Though she never really spent that much time to actually raise Silver, she still.. very much loves her child. As she got older, she actually thought about having more children, but.. the thought of the fathers not being someone she loved, or cared about turned her off. 

Really, she would like to have some babies.. but seeing at how much older she is now, well.. the chances of having children seem very slim. As much as she hates that though, she.. really regrets not settling down any time sooner so she could actually have a family. It's hard to see women her age with children, and babies in their arms- laughing, and smiling with their kids, and husbands.. But she supposes if she was meant to have more children she will then.

It doesn't seem that likely now though.

Empathy

Ariana, despite her normally catty, and crude personality, can be quite empathetic. She's gone through many situations in her life, and will do her best to understand how someone's feeling.. even if she may have not exactly gone through the same experiences. Her empathetic side, however, hardly ever comes out; it's usually reserved for people who she feels really deserve to see it.. Which is very few, in all honesty, but she does try when she can. It's just hard to express it, let alone show it to others when she has a constant wall up.

St. Walker, [For Proton]

She couldn't believe she was doing this.

After speaking with Archer about joining up with Team Rocket once more, she found herself pondering over the possibilities of the old gang reuniting. Archer, as vague as ever, never really gave her a formal response on whether or not everyone from the Executives would be joining back up again.. But he did seem to have the right idea that they would be. She knew that he would have more than one way of persuading them to join back up if he had to, but she.. had her doubts with his methods. Ariana knew that Proton, as dimwitted as he was, would blindly follow Team Rocket, as well as Archer.. But what if he had changed his ways since they last all saw one another? What if he had decided he grew a back bone, and didn't want to speak with them again? Or maybe Archer's tactics of getting him to join up again didn't exactly work.. 

So, she had decided that, maybe it was high time to find their dear friend Proton. 

If Archer hadn't convinced him, or even spoken to him, then.. well, she would be the first to speak with him. And.. if Archer spoke to him already, and he originally declined, then she would just merely say she was in passing.. or perhaps even say that she came because Archer instructed her to. 

It was pretty easy to pull things over on others. 

She had received word from her intel that Proton was now located in the Sinnoh region- Sandgem Town, to be exact. So, she arrived to the little town as quickly as possible so she could meet up with him. Donned in a dress, cardigan, high heels, and sunglasses, Ariana made her way through the.. little quaint town of Sandgem. 

"Of all the places to even go to, that dimwit picks here.." Ariana grumbled, crossing her arms. She raised a brow as a few people were out, and about for the day- watching as little families ran around, and to the beach that resided next to the sandy areas. "What imbeciles." She muttered. The Executive found his home though- all neatly tended to, and almost barren of all decorations.. Aside from a small little Slowpoke doorbell ornament. "Cute." Scoffing, she rang the door bell- waiting for him to come to the door. "He better be here today.. If he is not, I am going to kill that fool." 

Growing impatient already, she began to pound at his front door. "Proton!" She hissed out, glaring at the door. "Open this door now!"

What's your favorite color?

"Oh, honey that would have to be red. Red is the color of passion, romance, fire.."

"But I do have a bit of a soft spot for the color purple."

Love for a Child, [For Silver]

[silverrival-deactivated20200606]

Silver furrowed his brow and clenched his hands into fists at his sides to keep them from shaking from anger. He really shouldn’t have been surprised or stunned by his mother’s words, rather, he must have been aware on some level that this is what she wanted to discuss. Even if he didn’t want to acknowledge that fact, he was no where near as obtuse to just dismiss it entirely.

But apologize?

“And just saying sorry is supposed to change everything? A two syllable word is supposed to wipe away over ten years away?” Silver spat out bitterly, right before he could control himself. In retrospect, he would wonder whether or not that was even in his abilities to begin with. Keeping his temper in check wasn’t exactly a strong suit of his. “Get real!” 

Though, she was right. This was difficult. Silver honestly didn’t know what he was supposed to be feeling, because her words just picked at the scab of a wound that was taking years upon years to heal. Now it was being torn open, and all the bitterness and anger was flaring out unchecked, the betrayal and… other emotions he didn’t want to label at the moment. 

In a defensive move, Silver narrowed his eyes at his mother. “Is this really what you called me out here for? I’m not about to just forgive you over night!” He wasn’t even sure if he could. His fists clenched tighter into themselves, and if it weren’t for his gloves, his nails would undoubtedly be digging into his skin. “That’s if you’re even telling the truth! I find it hard to believe anything you say so long as you wear that uniform!” In a fit, he swung his arm out to point at the distinct red ‘R’ that made Ariana’s affiliations obvious. 

[sanguinarygoddess-blog]

She shut her eyes, listening to Silver as he began to speak to her. Ugh, that tone he was using.. She knew he had every right to use it, but it didn't lessen the pain she was receiving from it. Ariana clenched her fist, trying her best to maintain her composure as he spat out word, after word at her. She wanted to tell him to stop spewing out nonsense- that he had no idea what he was talking about, and that her feelings were true.. She really did, but it was better for him to get all these words out of his system. It was better to take the heat, and gravity of his feelings, than to tell him that they were wrong. It was the least she could do after the childhood she gave him. Lack of of a childhood, actually, but she had to listen to him, and what he had to say.

Her eyes looked down to the giant 'R' that was on her dress, causing her to sigh. Well, he had a point. Team Rocket wasn't notoriously known for being 'honest,' but this was her son she was talking to. She.. had lost so much already, so what was there to gain in lying to him? Taking a chance, she took a step closer to him, careful to make sure he wouldn't lash out at her yet again. 

"Silver." Ariana gently said, sighing once more. "I know. I know you are not going to forgive me over night- I am not stupid enough to think that." She bit her lower lip, and looked down. "I am not a fool. I know that this is difficult, and hard for you to hear.. I mean, I have not seen you in so long, my dear.." But that last part was mumbled, as she didn't want him to hear it. Crimson orbs found their way back to meet silver ones. "You are my son. I know one simple word cannot erase that many years of a harsh childhood, much less the years of neglect.. But I want us to start somewhere, Silver."

Her eyes were filled with remorse, and she could feel her brows caving in with uncertainty. Arceus, she felt so vulnerable right now- here with her feelings right on her sleeve for him, but.. what would he even say to them? "I know I was not a good mother to you, and I know I am still not now. I just.. want to try, and be part of your life once more, my son. The only time I ever saw you was when I was in the hospital, after I gave birth to you.. and during the passing times of when I was at home to see you." She could already feel herself choking up, but she looked away. Taking in a deep breath, Ariana shook her head. "But know that I am telling you the truth. I am part of Team Rocket, but these are true, and sincere feelings, Silver.. Why would I be telling you these things if I wanted to do something else? If I wanted to do something that involved Team Rocket I would be.. doing that, but right now, this is about me, and you."

"Just us."

“What? Incompetent? As if! I know the difference between fictional villains and real life idiots who join an group that does such horrible things to Pokemon just for kicks!” Janine felt her hand squeeze tighter around the object she was holding in her hand as she took several quick steps back. She probably really pissed the woman off. She needed to be more careful. Who knows what the woman was capable of, and it was possible she might have back up. But this woman was so aggravating! Janine knew agitating the woman wouldn’t help, but what was she supposed to do? Was the ninja supposed to just back down? Which options was she supposed to take?

“You know, I feel bad for whoever your kid is if he had to put up with a crazy for a mother! My dad might’ve been rough at times, but at least he wasn’t a cold, heartless, psycho-bitch!” Definitely not the right choice, but Janine felt it had to be said. She backed up even more, cautiously circling the red head. Anything could happen now. Janine just needed to safely find a way out, and fast.

[sanguinarygoddess-blog]

"Yes, incompetent!" She screeched back to her, huffing. Arceus, her blood was boiling more than ever. The way she was speaking.. the way she threw insults like that at her with no regards to what they held was really pissing her off. Ugh. This kid was such an annoying little prick. Ariana could hardly contain herself with her. There were very few people who got under the Executive's skin.. but Janine was quickly making her way onto that list of individuals. "Horrible things to Pokemon? Oh, please! Now you're just spewing out nonsense you know absolutely nothing about, you little wretch!" The redhead retorted, glaring daggers at the ninja. Oh, if looks could kill..

"I feel bad for whoever your kid is if he has to put up with a crazy for a mother!"

How.. dare she say that. She had no idea how she was like a mother, or the history she had with her son! "You know nothing!" Ariana hissed out, gritting her teeth. "You don't know ANYTHING about the relationship between my son, and I, you got that? I would never be a psycho bitch to my own child." Oh, boy, she was fuming now. Rage was radiating off of her form, and if she honestly could, she would show that little brat how pissed she was.. But she couldn't. As much as she was driven by emotions, Ariana was an executive for Team Rocket. She couldn't lose her cool to some brat like this. 

But she kept her eyes on her, taking a step closer each time the purple haired teen continued to circle around her. "I would watch yourself if I were you.. you are messing with the wrong person. I am someone you sincerely don't want to piss off, punk."

[sanguinarygoddess-blog]

"Pokémon are different from humans. They are living beings that contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called Pokémon? That's right! We must liberate the Pokémon! Then, and only then, will humans and Pokémon truly be equals. Everyone, I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pokémon... and the correct way to proceed. PLASMAAAA!"

"You have got to be kidding me. This is such bullshit. Get this garbage away from me."

[ Sicken ]

Very few things truly sicken Ariana.

Pokemon abuse is one. 

The idea of putting a Pokemon through physical pain, or mental pain makes her very.. annoyed- frustrated, nauseated.. It's funny when you think about it; she's part of an organization that has no problems with harming Pokemon, or pushing them to their physical limit in battles. Hell, they even cut off the tails of Slowpoke to sell them on the Black Market to gain more money to fund future projects. 

Ariana, however, finds it to be sickening. She makes no point in vocally saying her disgust to it, and merely tries her best to evade being part of any branches that deal with it. She also finds any sort of abuse toward women, or children to be sickening as well. Maybe that's just her moral standards speaking though.

Ariana does admit though that, some of the things she has done in her life may be.. well, viewed as sickening. She's worked for an organization most of her life, got into a relationship with its boss, had a child out of wedlock, while a teen mom, and.. Well, many other things. 

Oh well.

Chokehold, [Open RP]

[pxgtails]

While Ariana may have been careful to hide her identity, Kris happened to be quite the opposite. She wore her everyday attire, complete with no shoes, and shoved her way through the hustling and bustling streets like a force that wasn’t to be reckoned with.

But of course, Nimbasa was huge. There was no denying that. It was larger than Goldenrod, that was for sure. Kris wasn’t used to being around people, let alone so many; like a caged animal, almost, she was jumpy and confrontational at the drop of a hat.

“Hey! Watch where you’s goin’, bub!” she snarled at a businessman she had walked into as he rushed past her, heading for the South Tunnel. He ignored her.

“Open yer eyes, schmuck!” she growled at what appeared to be a tennis player, but Kris was once again ignored as the athlete disappeared into the smaller of the two stadiums.

“I’s gonna headbutt’cha!” was her most recent attempt, and it was directed towards a schoolboy that didn’t even glance at her as he strode on past.

Thus, she reached the conclusion that everyone in Nimbasa City was utterly ineloquent and illiterate and deserved to be taken over. She had just stopped in the middle of the sidewalk— an inert being in a sea of moving objects— when someone crashed into her.

Except this time, it was the other person who spoke up first. Flaring up, Kris spun back on the ridiculously-clad woman and puffed out her chest. Time to show these Nimbasa schmucks how it was done.

“Howsabout you watch where you’s goin’, doll face?!” she retorted with a certain spirited bounce. She sauntered right on up to the woman, standing quite literally toe-to-toe with her and smirking. “‘Less ya want ‘dat pretty face’a yers smashed in.”

[sanguinarygoddess-blog]

Arceus, this was growing even more, and more annoying. Her eyes averted to the person she collided with. She had strung together her tirade of insults, and frustration, and when she was done, Ariana honestly thought she'd be able to move on.. 

That didn't seem to be the case though.

A frown instantly found shelter on her lips. "Excuse me?" She was taken aback by the sheer tenacity this girl had. "My face smashed in?" The Executive repeated, a bit stunned at how brutal, and obviously barbaric this girl was. Crimson eyes scanned over her body as she came closer to her- a look of disgust washing over her as she took note of the lack of shoes the girl had. Oh. She.. Ugh. How atrocious, and vile. To walk the streets of a city- Nimbasa no less, and to not have any shoes on? What the hell was this girl thinking? Was she stupid, or dropped on her head at a young age? She could already feel her IQ dropping just by being in the same vicinity as this child.. 

"How about YOU watch where you are going, you unruly child." Ariana spat out, pulling her sunglasses down to stare at Kris. Crimson eyes reflected annoyance, and frustration- obviously the two emotions she was truly feeling at this point. "Or how about you learn to socialize, and not act like a barbarian.. Maybe even put some shoes on those feet of yours. If you keep stalking around like some Mankey, you're bound to step on broken glass, and catch some disease." Scoffing at that, Ariana pulled her lenses back up- shielding her eyes away from Kris. 

"You should also learn how to address others, and not like some wild child, street rat. Learn some respect." As if Ariana had any right to say that; she was the one to start this up, after all.. But she found it to be better if she started something, as opposed to someone else backlashing with a lack of respect to her. "I have no time to associate myself with you, less you want some big trouble coming your way, you little brat." She muttered, shaking her head. Though.. something was rattling in the back of her head- she seemed.. quite familiar. Had she met her before? 

It was possible, but.. 

Why the hell would she even meet, much less WANT to know some street rat like her?

[toxic-kunoichi-deactivated20130]

The girl took a step back. “Boring you, huh? D-do you think I’d care if I was boring some hag like you? Especially one who thinks I know nothing of my father? You must know nothing about how parents work!” Janine was scared of the old woman. She had heard some stories about what Team Rocket had done in the past. While this woman was not Giovanni, the fact that she was an executive had to mean she was pretty dangerous. Janine knew she needed to calm down. She couldn’t let Ariana know she was scared. To do that, meant she could be putting her life or her dad’s at risk. Taking a deep breath, she slipped her hand into her pocket. 

“What exactly are you planning anyway? It’s obvious you’re just trying to rile me up in order to get something out of me so you might as well spill it!”

[sanguinarygoddess-blog]

"Hag?!" She spat out, eyes widening. Oh, what a little brat! Her brows furrowed, and a scowl followed right after. Arceus, this kid was really starting to get on her last nerves. "Not know how parents work, huh?" She frowned, taking another step closer to the petite girl. "Let me tell you something honey, and you better listen good. I know a thing, or two about being a parent, because I am one myself; however, I would never want to be the parent to some little brat like yourself!" The Executive hissed out, narrowing her eyes. Oh, Dialga, help her; her patience was being tested so much with this little 'ninja'. Ariana wasn't one to really reveal personal information either, but it's not like Janine would even know who Silver was anyway; even if she did, she doubted she was that smart to make the connection. 

Oh, she couldn't help, but smirk at Janine's next words. What was she planning? Please. As if she would reveal to her what her plan was (even if, she really didn't have one); she wasn't that stupid to lay out her cards. "Oh, please. I am not some type of campy cartoon villain who laughs, and starts spewing their grand plans out." She rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms. "Besides, if I wanted to get information out of you, I would be doing a lot more than what I'm doing now; I just enjoy messing with someone as incompetent as you."

[sanguinarygoddess-blog]

Reflection

Since the fall of Team Rocket, Ariana's had a lot of time to reflect.

Mostly on herself, but a lot has to do with her affiliation, and decisions she's made in her lifetime. 

She's reflected about the terrible things she's helped the organization do, or even the things she's done that aren't in the least bit redeemable.. But to be honest, she lingers on the thought for a little, then casts it aside; what's the point in lingering in self angst when there were more important matters at hand? She just tossed it aside, and moved on with her life. 

However, when it comes to a physical reflection, such as looking in a mirror.. Well, Ariana has no problem at fawning over her appearance and fixing herself up. Quite honestly, she enjoys going to the 'powder room' whenever possible, or standing in front of the mirror and staring back at her reflection as she preps herself before going out. She's vain, yes, but who wouldn't be when you were blessed with a figure, and face like her own? It's hard not to get caught up in your looks when you're this beautiful.
