Team Snagem HQ (Mt. Silver)

[Reno Vantas]

A loud crash would erupt from Reno's room as a small roar was heard. The door would open to allow the escaping Spike to charge into the room and hide underneath Keiko, cowering in fear as he made no noise. Reno would come charging after the tiny Dragon type, a small sponge in his hand. "Where'd ya go, ya little rascal? Try ta run away from anotha' bath and I might tie ya down fer it." Reno would mutter before stopping in front of Keiko. "You 'aven't 'appened ta see a lil Bagon run through 'ere, 'ave you?" He would question, wondering where Spike had ended up.  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno would give a silent nod before approaching the chair, fingers on his one hand rolling in anticipation. Giving a sudden jump, he would snatch the Bagin from beneath the bed and, in a blur of motion, swiftly wash the Pokemon and set him loose to go to the room or somewhere else in the base. "So, Keiko, Whats new with you." Reno would ask, tossing the sponge across the room and sitting in the chair he had just retrieved Spike from under.  

[Atlantis_Darts]

Darts stealthily enters the kitchen, least as sneakily as his golden head would allow, stealing into the eatery to rummage through the cabinets. "Gotta be... some tea..." He trails off disgustedly. "Coffee, gotta be some coffee...."

Crystal walked into the kitchen, looking at Darts for a moment before grabbing some tea. "Well, tea? I didn't know that you liked tea all of a sudden, Mr. Shiny," she quipped.

Darts snaps up all of a sudden, hands trembling before he regains his composure, smoothing the front of his jacket to calm himself and it down."Yes no" He growls in an irritated tone mostly to himself. "Some things about that Distortion World still have an effect on me..." He pauses. "Any idea where the coffee is? I could use a cup or forty-seven."

Crystal grinned before opening up the cabinet hat had the coffee in it. "Right there. "So, pretty much, you'll occasionally say the opposite of what you mean, eh?" She grabbed a pot and filled it with water. "That's gotta suck."

"Yeah it's terrible. Like I have sarcasm disease or something. Least it comes out in some kind of odd sound-effect usually." Darts shakes the coffee into the coffee-maker, getting some water percolating as he prepares for coffee. "What about you, I haven't seen you in forever. You look different. Haircut?"  

[Atlantis_Darts]

Espeon_Commander

Crystal tilted her head slightly, then hung her head. "The hair length hasn't changed, but.... If you haven't realized, I'm an Espeon hybrid now, genius. And my hair's black also." She ran one of her hands through her hair. "Maybe a small haircut doesn't sound too bad, though...." She put the water on the stove and turned it on.

Darts catches himself staring and glances away before she notices, covering it up with a bit of coffee fetching, pouring a steaming hot mug of coffee. He raises it to something in that darkness that had to be a mouth and takes a sip, relishing in it. "Cup for you?"

"No thanks, I don't drink coffee." She kept an eye on Darts through the corner of her eye, and she thought she noticed him looking at her. She wasn't entirely sure, though. "So, outside of you becoming a hybrid by eating cursed offerings for Giratina, how have you been?" She paused for a moment. "And how did you get from Sinnoh to here?"

"Pity." Darts says with another drink of coffee. "And hey. I think the offerings just called the Giratina to curse me. Not the cursed food itself..." Not much of a defense, but there it was. "Aaaaand...." He pauses, thinking. "I think I walked." He notices her watching him and goes as poker-faced as he can. Pretty easy to do without a visible mouth.
