The Madame Boss

Well... Hello there. I am the Madame Boss, former leader of Team Rocket. (Roleplay Blog)

Matori looked over the woman who approached her, and nodded her head respectfully.

"Miss," she said, pleased with her visitor. It had been ages since Giovanni’s mother had paid them a visit, but she always had a deep admiration for the woman. She could get behind her cutthroat business…

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

“Hmmm?" Lucciana paused, looking over at Matori as she was addressed. “Well, hello to you there." She replied, beaming at being called Miss. “I was actually looking for you. While Giovanni has busied himself with work, I had a few questions. You are his secretary, yes?" She asked, looking over the woman before offering her hand in greeting. “Lucciana, The Madame Boss. And you’re name, Miss?"

[meganekkomatori-blog]

"Matori, ma’am," she said, returning the greeting. “I’m honored to meet you. What did you want to ask me?"

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Lucciana smirked while pulling her hand away, placing both her hands on her hips. "The pleasure is all mine, Matori. As for my questions."

She draws in a deep breath, performing various hand gestures as she rattles off her questions. "Has Giovanni been eating well? Been keeping up with his physicals and doctor visits? Who cleans the base here? Rockets or an outside service?"

She pauses.

"And how is the team doing financially?"

OOC:

Sorry guys. Seems that life has been kicking my ass. But, I shall get to posting again like now.

[eiennoame]

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Oh my! Are these your brothers?

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Tomorrow hm? I will have to see if I have anything planned for tomorrow. If not, then I will be seeing you then. If I do then, maybe I will have to wait until… Lets see… Thursday, yes?

Retired, yes? And darling… I could do whatever I wanted to do before I was retired. I...

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Just ask for Chili. Will do, my dear. And well. I could do whatever I like, but It's not the most fun when you have no one to enjoy it with. Ah. I doubt you'd understand.

Blood and Wine: Giovanni and the Madam Boss

[underworld-boss]

"Compared to the other teams we know of in the main regions, it’s very easy and simple. Aqua and Magma wanted to expand the ocean and land for…" What were their reasons again? “More life or superiority. It was rather confusion and naturally it didn’t work out too well. As for Galactic, they had a dangerous one in wanting to create a new reality. Still, I can’t agree with wanting to make a new world and rule that one."

And then there was Team Plasma. At first glance, they seemed the antithesis of Team Rocket. A world where Pokemon and humans would be separate from one another and be safe. But the higher up one got in the world, the more similarities one could find in Rocket and Plasma.

"I’ll be sure to raise a little extra than, Madre" he insisted, taking another small sip. So what about himself lately? “I’ve been looking into returning into the Pokemon League and reclaiming the gym that was mine."

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

The Madame Boss sat, quietly nursing her glass of wine, as she listened to her son speak. She gave a nod here and there to indicate to him that she was indeed listening.

Lucciana and Giovanni's relationship was always a very rocky one, but she never hated her son. There were hard times when things got far too busy with Team Rocket that if she wanted it to succeed, she would have to go ahead and overlook her son to insure he would have a secure future within the Team. Sometimes she would come off as neglectful or too harsh on her son, but all in all, she only wanted to groom him for success. And it seems that her method of madness has worked.

She looked upon her son once more as she took another long sip of wine, a smile forming on her lips once more. "I believe you mentioned returning when we were chatting earlier, before I decided to visit. How is that going for you? Do you think it's possible to return with your.... reputation?".

[underworld-boss]

Blood and Wine: Giovanni and the Madam Boss

[underworld-boss]

He gave a small nod and sipped his drink. “You must always be cautious, even in times of peace." He grinned and sipped his drink again. “I thought you’d like it. As for Team Plasma, you’re right about that." They were a strange group. Their false message had attracted sympathizers until the realization came that Team Plasma wasn’t out for Pokemon benefit, but domination.

In the end, the group was split down the middle. Some hoping to help Pokemon hurt by Plasma or bad trainers. However some remained to still retain dominance. “Yes, how’s the phrase go? A cornered Pokemon is almost the most dangerous. This is no exception. Plasma has been shoved into a corner and had to compromise once already. I’m sure they won’t be above doing it again."

"We’re currently having our groups work on several projects as well while we gather more information about the Kalos region. Our science division is being very competitive. In a good way for us, naturally."

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

The raven haired woman took a long sip from her glass before pulling it from her lips and placing it down on the table. "This is why Team Rocket's goals were based on some of the most simple of concepts. Money and power. Sure... Region and then eventual world domination is keen, but is it actually obtainable? And once it is, would it really be as fun anymore? I say that one should keep expanding their reaches. Keep the fight strong and gain that power and wealth. Raise some hell, Giovanni. But, never stray far from those goals." she hissed.

It was clear that Lucciana was still power hungry in some respects, as the woman never really wished to retire in the first place. But, things happen and she knew full well that turning the clock back wasn't an option. At least not an easy option.

"I look forward to Team Rocket's expansion into Kalos, bello. But, enough about the old team... Tell me about you."

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Your treat, hm? You’re quite the gentleman, hm? Alright… I will allow you to decide what we do then. Just a matter of when.

[righthandmanarcher-deactivated2]

I’m free every night, as luck would have it. Not much of a social life outside of work, I’m afraid, heh. In any case, I’d be more than happy to take you out tonight, if you’re free. I wouldn’t want you to have to wait for something more exciting to come along. I know how busy my esteemed leader can be.

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Tonight, hm? I think that can be arranged. I look forward to it, Archer.

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

I do enjoy jazz.

What all does it entail?

[righthandmanarcher-deactivated2]

Whatever you’d like. They offer dinner, dancing, drinks… just about anything, if you’re willing to pay for it, ahaha. But of course, this will be entirely my treat, Madame.

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

teamrocketmistressreplied to yourpost:Hello there, sweetie. Care to join me for drinks? It’s awfully boring on this mini vacation when Giovanni gets too busy to entertain.

It depends on how I’m feeling. I suppose I enjoy a little bit of both. Do you have anything entertaining in mind?

Well, I do know of one place. It’s a night club, but they mostly play a lot of jazz. Does that sound interesting enough to you?

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

I do enjoy jazz.

[chili-loves-gravy-blog-blog]

Oh, you bet!! And hm, let’s see… if today’s Sunday then… [he does some simple addition with his fingers, trying his best not to look like a total moron… Chili and math don’t go together very well] ..I’ll be back in the kitchen on Monday which is… [he does some more math with his fingers, pulling out both hands this time] ..tomorrow!! [he beams, genuinely proud of himself for having overcome another mathematical obstacle]

Retired?? [he looks at her with wonder] What’s that like?? You can do whatever you want now, can’t you??

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Tomorrow hm? I will have to see if I have anything planned for tomorrow. If not, then I will be seeing you then. If I do then, maybe I will have to wait until... Lets see... Thursday, yes?

Retired, yes? And darling... I could do whatever I wanted to do before I was retired. I just have a lot more free time now... It's actually... Rather boring.

Blood and Wine: Giovanni and the Madam Boss

[underworld-boss]

"Though I’m sure you’re finding ways to occupy yourself in the meantime" Giovanni replied, not touching the spot quite yet. As a teenager, he did his best to scrub that cheek off almost instantly. But he didn’t need some sort of scolding in his own house.

Giovanni moved around and poured his mother as glass. The ice was still cool as Giovanni set the bottle next to Lucciana. Sitting down in his armchair, he plucked his own drink from the table. “Fine for the moment" he insisted. “Unova has had its ups and down but now that the team there is in even more shambles than they were before, we’re intending on setting up a more permanent base of operations there to expand. All eyes are still on Team Plasma after their stunts anyways."

Besides, Pokemon thefts were sure to be pointed at anyone with a grudge against Team Plasma. People didn’t tend to forget the mistakes that group made, even if some of them had been suckered in by the words of Ghetsis.

"And we’re setting our eyes on the Kalos region next."

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

The raven haired woman watched her son's movements carefully, keeping a close eye on his hands as he poured that sweet toxin into her glass. "Fine for the moment, hm?" she repeated, reaching out to pluck the bottle from the table. She inspected the label once. "Chateau Belair Monange St. Emillion..." She read off, her voice just barely above a whisper. "Impressive, darling." she said, smiling slightly as she placed the bottle back onto the table.

Reaching out, she grabbed the glass of wine from the table, ready to sample the wine."Keep a close eye on Team Plasma, Giovanni... Their goals are strange and I doubt they'll ever come to fruition, but if the rumors are true then, please keep an eye open. I doubt they could outsmart the brains of a Rocket, but I doubt they're above playing dirty." she said with a smirk as she pressed that glass to her lips and drawing the nectar from it.

"Kalos will be a great place to expand."

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

scientistdamarus said: Oh! Um, h-hello, ma’am.

And hello to you as well.

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

gotta-ketchumall started following you

[Grins] Well, hello there, sweetie.

[gotta-ketchumall-archive]

"Uh… hello!" Ash rubbed the back of his head momentarily before deciding the grin wasn’t abnormal. Extending his hand for a handshake, he returned the smile. He didn’t think he’d ever met this woman before, so he decided to introduce himself. “I’m Ash. And this is my buddy, Pikachu." Ash motioned to his best friend, pausing just long enough for Pikachu to wave and exclaim its name as an introduction. “Who are you, miss?"

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Lucciana eyed the young man momentarily, her large golden eyes flickering from feature to feature before turning towards his Pikachu. "My, my.... I think I like you." she said, her grin only growing when he called her 'miss'.

She reached out to grasp his hand, giving it a slight shake. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ash. You as well Pikachu. As for myself, you can just call me Lucciana."

[chili-loves-gravy-blog-blog]

Oh no, since it’s the three of us running the entire restaurant, we’re always there! We just switch jobs for the day, but we’re all there!! [nods] And well, don’t tell anyone I told ya think [wink wink] but normally, if the customers are on close terms with any of us, we’ll usually let ya slide with the orders, hehe. 

Oh, I won’t!! [he smirks back, folding his arms over confidently] You’ll have the best darn plate, you won’t even realize you’re having ol’ country food!! Hehe.

So tell me about yourself!! What do you do??

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

Is that so? Sneaky little things you all must be then, hm? [she laughed] But, what days are you on shift? I have to make sure you live up to expectation by giving me the... 'best darn plate', right?

[she pauses at the question]

About myself, hm? Oh, darling... I doubt you wish to know a thing about me. I'm just a simple woman who retired a lot earlier than she should have and has no idea what to do with herself.

[underworld-boss]

Blood and Wine: Giovanni and the Madam Boss

[underworld-boss]

"Retirement does that quite often, Madre" Giovanni admitted. He knew plenty of people who couldn’t sit still after they retired, whether it was from a simple job or stress heavy job. Many people were lucky to retire and not go to jail in his line of word, and his mother was one of them. Hearing that she wanted to do something though wasn’t too large of a surprise for him though.

He paused and stood upright, letting her inspect him. He knew as a teenager and especially as a child, he hated this. He wanted to go out and do stuff, but these days, it was simply part of the routine. And it was especially good he didn’t have his orange suit on.

"Well I’m glad I have your approval, Madre" he stated, as he tilted his face to let her have easier access to his cheeks. “I made sure to get a hold of your poison of choice when you said you were coming into town."

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

The woman slowly drew herself from her son's cheek, leaving behind only a faint trace of her ruby red lipstick where she had previously kissed him. "Retirement does do that, you're right. I just suppose I never really was as ready to retire as I had once thought. No worries though. As long as the team is in good hands, I cannot complain much." she said, winking while she moved deeper into the room, seeking out the couch and sitting on it.

"My poison of choice, hm? And here I was thinking that you didn't care." she said, laughing slightly at herself, nestling herself into her spot in attempts to get comfortable after a long, drab flight.

"So. How have you been? Anything new?"

[chili-loves-gravy-blog-blog]

Ha! That depends on who’s cooking! Each of my brothers and I cook completely different types of food, so whoever’s in the kitchen that day determines what’s on the menu for the day!! That’s how we keep our menu fresh, hehe! We rotate everyday!

I, personally, specialize in grilling meats, beefs, and steaks! Anything that can be blazed and glazed over a fire is done by me! I can also make some pretty mean mash potatoes, but normally that’s Cilan’s job! Teehee.

[teamrocketmistress-blog]

A fresh menu, yes... Hmm... That might seem quite troublesome though if you have a customer who doesn't know about the cycle return for a meal they enjoyed, but that brother isn't in the kitchen that day. How do you handle those situations, dear?

Ah... Grilling, hm? I'm not wholly big on eating just meat and potatoes, but if you are as good of a cook as you let on to be, I'll come out for a meal. Do not disappoint, Chili. [smirk]
