“What is he, in a meeting? No, I’m not gonna do anythin’. I just want to talk,” Barry says to the executive blocking him, impatient, every word struggling to stay surfaced from an undercurrent of rage.

When he’s finally allowed into the office, he makes eye contact with Giovanni and does not look away. He doesn’t take an aggressive stance, doesn’t do anything to give an impression how badly he wants to take this fury out physically. He doesn’t want to get carried out or killed before he can say his piece.

“You wanna explain yourself? You make a habit of this with your ‘trusted’ employees?” he says, and his tone dares Giovanni to pretend not to know what he’s talking about.

“Silver’s out of your sight for five minutes and you lose your goddamn mind, is that it?”

so it’s late, they’re hungry, and they’re being kidnapped.

hopefully. they really hope it’s just a kidnapping, because the alternative is probably that they’re going to be dragged out into the woods and shot. they fidget with their seat belt, glancing out the window as the streetlights pass them by. they’re not really close to any woods right now, but who knows?

it occurs to eve that the intimidating teal-haired man isn’t making any efforts to blindfold them or otherwise keep his identity hidden. if they were gonna be kept alive, he’d be wearing a mask or something, right? so maybe they are going to be killed after all.

“i think i saw something like this in a movie once,” eve finally says, unable to stomach the silence any longer, as they turn back to face the man with a shaky smile. “i used to watch a lot of movies, though, so i’m not sure which one. crime stuff isn’t really my thing, but i know i watched this one, so it must’ve been good, huh?”

the man doesn’t take his eyes off the road.

“i don’t really remember how it ended, but there was definitely a scene-”

the car slows to a stop at a red light, and the man finally turns to meet eve’s eyes with an irritable glare.

they fall silent and look back out the window, now gripping the seat belt with white knuckles.

maybe they should reflect on their choices -- or better yet, try to send a distress signal. the man didn’t even take their phone.

who would they call, though? barry, maybe? no, he’s innocent. eden? no, definitely not eden. they’re trying to get them out of trouble, not drag them further into it.

so they really don’t have anyone, huh. guess that leaves reflecting.

...

they, uh, don’t do that. their thoughts are meaningless, discordant, high-pitched noise, and they’re starting to drown in their own head.

“out.”

the man startles them back to reality, and they blink rapidly at the realization that the car has stopped moving. “huh?”

“i said out. the boss is waiting.”

they’re in a well-lit parking lot. the illuminated sign above the door is in a language they don’t know, but it looks like the front door to a nice restaurant.

“oh.”

this wasn’t how the movie went, was it? they wrap their arms around themselves against the night’s chill as they step out, following obediently behind the man as he holds open the front door for them.

it’s definitely a restaurant. it... doesn’t quite add up with the whole ‘getting shot in the woods’ theory, but it doesn’t do much to reassure them of their safety either. at the sight of the two of them, the smiling waitress behind the podium sobers quickly and straightens up. “the usual booth, sir?”

“not for me. the boss has a meeting with our friend here.”

oh, that’s them. they hold up a hand and smile stiffly at the waitress, and she regards them with something close to fear.

“right this way, then.”

she picks up a menu and begins to walk towards the back of the restaurant, leading them towards a booth. its only other occupant is a man they don’t recognize, but whose name they immediately know.

eve looks at the driver one last time. he jerks his head in the waitress’s direction.

so they follow her into the lion’s den, take a seat, and look at the menu.

[🍞]--- “Hi Giovanni~” Mizi pushed the to-go cup of coffee gently and slowly across the counter by pushing it with his fingers. Then he leaned forward; letting his elbows rest against the glass-top as he did so. “It’s been awhile. I was starting to think that you got--” He pulled a finger across his throat; mimicking a slicing gesture. “-- or something.  I was so worried~!”  

Now, everyone who came in Lovely Loaves was treated with the same amount of respect as anyone else...but...could Mizi help himself if he wanted to flutter his eyelashes at an intimidating and well dressed man? Maybe draw few hearts on his to-go cup? He was only human, and a little flirting never hurt anyone!

"Are you sure you just want the coffee? Coffee on an empty stomach?”

✖ ———— “How has it felt to have your hands cleaned of the bloodier end of my business for a while?” She asks, red eyes keen on her partner in crime above her wine glass, which she swirls nonchalantly between her delicate fingers. It isn’t as though they’ve fallen out of contact-- more so that the last year or two have been far more focused on the fraud, the lies, the elaborate, non-violent schemes. 

“Coincidentally, allow me to lend you a piece of advice, Giovanni,” she says, her look souring, “Do avoid hiring hitmen with morals. It is a most... tedious arrangement.”

( Let’s just say there’s a reason she’s called this meeting, @bossrocket​. )

“B-Boss??” James’ mouth drops open -- of any fellow Team Rocket member who could have made an appearance, this is certainly the grandest. If the Boss himself is making an appearance, it must be important!

On his shoulder, Mime Jr. copies his shock, and then his salute.

“Sir! It’s James, reporting for duty!” Then his hand lowers, not fully, to hover at the side of his face, and he looks a little sheepish. “I had no idea our operations had extended all the way out here.”

Hello! Without prior reserve, I would like to app Giovanni from Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu! My application is at /app. If possible, I'd like to request that he retains his Persian (de-evolved into a Meowth of course!). Thank you so much!

Welcome to scenic Isola Radiale, Boss Giovanni!

You will be housed in HOUSE 105!

You will retain everything your Persian, however it will be in its starter form, Meowth.

You will also retain some basic Pokeballs, however they will serve no function.
