Examine! Clarissa

you’re not around to witness rennard get beaten into shape – just what comes after. (companion to this.)

examine.

once the radio tower goes to shit, you’re beyond livid; you’ve got a rage that turns outward into a physical force that almost makes you tremble, almost makes you laugh. so you spit on them all, and explode through the interpol cordon and away into the night.

what happens in between isn’t what’s important; what’s important is the boss, well, he’s always had a particular way with words, and a particular way with finding people who don’t want to be found, even someone as good in the field as you are. and he brings you back; it takes some time and some blood, but he doesn’t put a bullet in your head, the way you thought he would.

you haven’t decided if you hate him for that, but whatever the case, it catches you off guard, and both you and he know that’s enough to hook you. for the time being.

you don’t see rennard again until a month into your uh, ‘reeducation.’ the base you’ve been sent to is unfamiliar, out on one of the less populated islands along kanto’s coast, and that alone has your teeth on edge. some privileged little agent favorite is to babysit you for this stretch. you’re not looking forward to it.

she meets you just outside. and there’s a moment when you almost recognize her. and then you don’t.

see, you’ve always had a keen eye for discrepancies. it’s part of what makes you so goddamn good. not that you really need it now, because this? this ekans already jumped up and bit you.

so sure, she’s wearing the same bones, the same skin, the same nose and the same mouth. but everything’s been shifted a little to the left. the cut of her uniform’s changed; it’s cleaner, nicer fabric. her hair’s been pulled back, opening up her face and neck. the hat’s gone. her head sits more straight, her spine is stacked all nice and neat. and the more you look, the deeper it goes. the flat line of her lips. the equally flat line of her brows. and her eyes. those aren’t the same at all. not even close.

for a minute, the pair of you stare into each other. and as you do, you notice that she notices you, notices you seeing her. whoever the fuck she is.

and she smiles.

“…………….” Why was Morty giving Kyo that look? Was it because he was in the Bell Tower? Surely, Morty could not determine who couldn’t belong where, since the Tower was a museum of sorts. In fact, visiting the tower was encouraged! Unfortunately, the ninja’s schedule did not allow for him to visit during normal operating hours. He simply took it upon himself to visit on a time that no one else was around, that’s all~ And, well, pick the locks…and practically break in. Maybe that was why he looked angry!

“Mind explaining how you got past the monks? Very select few are allowed in this tower.”

Morty asked, as he kept tapping his foot on the floor- his arms were crossed over as well. Despite being a fellow League colleague- it was easy to tell how displeased he was for fidning Kyo in there.

“I don’t think that you are one of those, with all due respect...”

Do you think Apollo's life would be vastly different had he maintained a relationship with his biological mother, as well as attended a public school?

{Oh without a doubt. Archer’s biological mother is almost completely 180 degrees in the other direction in terms of personality and mannerisms from the Mrs. Apollo. Arisa-- the woman who gave birth to him-- was very weak-willed and impulsive, allowing her addictions and abusive boyfriends to rule her life. I think if she had made the decision to keep her son, however, she would have eventually moved on from the darker aspects of her life and try to raise her baby to the best of her ability.

{When she was reunited with Archer some ten or twelve years after giving him up, she was eager to be part of his life and dote on him in her own way. She was proud of who he had thus-far grown up to be and although she regretted giving him up, she knew he wouldn’t have had the kind of life he’d lead so far if she’d kept him. Archer would have grown up in a dirty, dingy, likely only one-room flat with his biological mother, with nothing to his name but an unknown father and his mother’s shame, but he’d have been very fiercely loved and supported.

{Public school would have been a nightmare for him, even if his misanthropic nature hadn’t developed despite the change in home life. He likely would have felt bored and unchallenged and either blown school off entirely or never realized his full potential. I think a lot of his direction would depend on whether his arrogance and sadistic side are an inherent part of him or a product of his upbringing in the Apollo house.

{An interesting fact I can’t remember if I’ve touched on before: the main reason Archer hates Proton is because he feels Proton is who he would have become if he had been raised by his biological mother. The very notion of that possibility makes him almost physically ill and it drives his hatred and disdain for Proton because of it. The lengths he had to go to and the things he’d had to endure to become the man he is-- the man he believes he has always been meant to be-- and a living, breathing remind of how easily he could have ended up completely different is... difficult to handle.}

//*peeks head from a ceiling tile* What is the typical morning business routine for Giovanni concerning "opening procedures" for any given day? Is there any special orders that he would have his team do, or anything mundane like coffee or snack runs, or picking up dry-cleaning?

Currently, Rocket has become so big that most of its errands are self contained. It’s too easy to intercept something he gets from an outside source so for safety’s sake, it’s better to brew his coffee and have his food made for him on site. Likewise, Giovanni has special tailors for his clothing. Giovanni and his executives don’t just wear finery, they’re very special in every way. I went over this in an inventory check meme about the intricacies of his handkerchief alone. Being the most powerful criminal lord in the world has its risks.

As for opening procedures, not exactly. Rocket sorta operates around the clock, but also around Giovanni, so when Giovanni sleeps, base operations do slow down a bit. Archer and various Agents, Executives, and Administrators will often have a daily report for him in the morning, and will have things for him to look over. They try to have a rhythm, but when Giovanni has gone another few weeks without going to sleep properly (and instead collapses wherever he is when his body reaches his limit), sometimes his most trusted advisers will urge him to rest and take the burden off of him for a time/help him find what it will take for him to relax. Usually that means an attractive escort and a hot bath.

chrysocolla: a money-making headcanon

She has learned the coupon utilizing ways of her closest to a stereotypical mother figure but never to the extent that he goes through. In fact, some of her ways of making money might seem quite risky to him—which would be to invest in growing companies as well as dabble in the stock market. It’s not too terrible of a risk considering how she ensures her deals are always in the green. No, and it’s not entirely the Team Rocket influence. She does have a entire network of psychics.
