Everything. Just-
Why was Ami suddenly quiet? Why didn't she feel anything from her? Usually when Ami was around there was a certain... feeling? Like, Kali could sort of feel.. sense? Something? That her thoughts were being touched at. Was she imagining that usually? Was she imagining its absence now? What could she have done to change it if she wasn't? ..Why would it change now if she was?
And why was Leon looking at her like that? What did that tone mean? Was he mad? Sympathetic? For all the pride she took in her usual ability, at this moment Kali couldn't read him, and that scared her.
Worst, what was Nathan talking about? Damage? Sen?? "Wh--wha'd'you mean??" Sen was kind of a dick in ways, but didn't hurt people. Or.. well.. Kelsy had hurt her pretty badly.. <_< B-but Sen didn't physically hurt people! Dx> He--he'd never! Surely he just meant some kind of.. political or economic or-- something! Not damage damage.

[ Alex / Delilah ] [scrolly:h(280),w(400),sy,as(margin:15px 5px 15px 30px;padding-right:10px;)]Delilah breathed out a quiet sigh of relief when Carly seemed to drop it. "All right." Was that an okay response to 'your loss'? Whatever. "Well, have fun." Or don't. And then stop singing. That would be cool too. "Think I'll be heading back now.." Taking another long swig of her drink, she topped off her glass again before turning-- then stopping. Turning back, she-- ...Wow, what had she missed that was so funny? ..Anyway. Giving a sweet-but-coy smile, she called, "Lyall-sweetie~?" Her tone was flirty, of course.. yet oddly not as much as usual. Not that that said much from her. "After your lcontest, you should come sit with me for a bit~" She'd thought of saying 'little' contest, but thought that might have.. well.. belittled it.. Hurr. -- In the meantime, Alex hadn't really been paying attention to anyone but Iris for the moment. She smirked wryly at her, then just shrugged a little 'too' innocently. "Ah, nothin'." ..... >|3 "Just wondering how long it'd take to drink you under the table." Actually, Alex was relatively certain Iris could drink more than her, and by a considerable margin. But Iris had already had a few, and Alex was just finishing her second, and... x'3 Eh, it could be fun. Another dumb-laugh escaped her, a bit worse than last time. Looking up, she noticed the current song was winding down (so to speak), and looked around now at everyone in their mini-group. "Ohey. So are we starting this thing now or waiting for another song?"[/scrolly][/td][/tr][/table]

[ Ryan ] Ryan resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the initial response.. if mostly because he was too tired to bother. At the offer, though, and with assurance he wasn't interrupting, he decided that sounded nice. Just being up and around people was infinitely better than wallowing in his bed alone. Though he was far from a social butterfly, he absolutely hated being alone. For so many years, there was always some fellow gang member or other around, and when he left that he at least had Kitty. When she wasn't with him, he was usually around other people working or looking for work. At the very least, he was free to go wherever he wanted. Being caged up and alone was just... He could have shuddered at the thought. "..Yeh.. That doesn' soun' too bad."[/blockquote][/td][/tr][/table]

"He w-...as'posed t'help me pick out my dress andnd..."
Her vocal chords failed her, but the thought resounded; whoever Ami shared it with was up to the psychic. WHY CAN I NOT KEEP FRIENDS?

Shut up shut up shut up. She was allowed to look, dammit; it was called eye candy for a reason. It wasn't like she'd known he was a thief. It wasn't like they didn't all know and trust plenty of thieves, really; wasn't even like she'd never--- OH GOD. ;-; Had Siavush or Coco's old owners been so attached to--..... Arceus she prayed she hadn't done to someone what Kelsy had done to her.
When Nathan brought out the book, Kali was grateful for the distraction, but it didn't last. Looking through, she didn't spy anyone that looked like Kelsy.... However, a few pages in, she did see one 'criminal' she recognized, and instantly she burst into tears again. A small but piercing whine escaped her; as incomprehensible as it was, if one listened closely, they might have realized it was actually a word: "Sssssseeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnn......" Again her throat set alight, and she couldn't have set her lips to a neutral position if she'd tried, her muscles intent on remaining strained to a point of mild pain.

....Shit. The guy knew his name. Why couldn't Ryan remember in turn? Ugh.
He was certainly no ghost, but in the right light he might have come close. He hadn't been eating or sleeping well the past few weeks, and as he looked to the nameless knight, he rasped, "..I wanted ta walk." He hadn't realized how weak his voice was until the words were already out. Damn.
Sighing, he hoped no attention would be brought to that. He didn't need to be coddled and treated like a child with a cold, and really hoped the tall blond wouldn't try to send him back to his room like one. ... Suddenly, it hit him that his weren't the only concerns he should have. "..Oh eh-.. Sorry if I'm in'erruptin' anything.." he mumbled apologetically.

Coughing slightly, she lied, "I.. didn't get a great look but I'll try?" Almost immediately she wondered why she bothered trying, but prayed it wouldn't come up.
If the damned mind-reader had any question to start with as to what Kali could possibly be dodging, it should have quickly dissipated as the mental image was projected: long-ish red hair, longer than Yue's but shorter than Nathan's; light misty gray eyes; some.... pretty vague features.. more to go on than her verbal description, but... not much better than a basic shape.. His face seemed.. out of focus, really. What was in focus was a broad pair of shoulders, deep chest, and strong arms that could certainly have been more defined, but clearly hid a good amount of muscle under their.. 'padding'.. The image of the man was undoubtedly tall and stocky, but aside from a few select such details, it was blurry and non-descript..

In some dark room of the castle, a clap of thunder caused green eyes to flutter open. The patter of rain on the window pane was soothing, but at the same time a little irksome for some reason. Perhaps Ryan didn't want to be soothed, at the moment. He was tired, as he'd been for a long while now, but he was far more tired of doing nothing. He knew he was supposed to stay in bed, but he was restless, and somewhere somewhat near(?) he swore he could hear voices. As long as there were people around, he wouldn't be taking too big a risk by just stretching his legs for a few minutes, right?
As he forced himself to sit, the rush of blood gave him a sharp headache and a terrible bout of dizziness, but he was determined to push through it; a hand flew to his forehead and rubbed at his temples as he waited for the pain to subside a bit. At this contact, he couldn't help but think for the thousandth time these past two months how strange it was to not need to push his bangs aside, to have no hair in his way at all. Sure, he'd kept his hair pretty short up until he was, like, twenty, but he'd still spent nearly a decade now with it long, and frankly he was really glad both for the ponytail he still had and for what little had grown back out on the rest of his head (even if it did make his scar a bit more apparent).
When he was finally able to stand, Ryan began stumbling toward the door, tripping on who knew what toward the end and falling against the wall. Ugh.. He couldn't wait until he got this eyepatch off; it shouldn't be much longer now. It was hard enough stumbling in the dark with both eyes; one was just... ugh.
Finally finding the doorknob, the man staggered out into the hall before steadying himself on the wall there. Deciding to take things more slowly, now, he carefully made his way toward the voices, or his best guess as to their direction. He was at least vaguely familiar with a number of sections of the castle from visits in the past when he'd bring Kitty to play with Rosa.. but, admittedly, he usually stuck pretty close to them. He loved hanging out with Felis. ..Really. He could think of few things he enjoyed more. But he also never could shake the feeling that he must be a terrible bother or even nuisance to him. So he tended to do his best to balance staying out of his way without coming off like he was avoiding him. ...It probably kind of usually ended up with Ryan just hovering nearby like a shadow. ...Yeah, he.. he was aware that was probably a little creepy. Well, it wasn't like he was constantly staring at Felis or anything while he did it (:'3 or he certainly made an effort to hide it); he'd watch TV or read or work on something for whatever job he had at the time, etc. Sometimes he'd just go outside (far from the gardens, of course) and work a bit with his Pokemon or something, too, so it wasn't even like he was always shadowing.
At any rate, the result was an only-limited familiarity with the Castle, and what memories he did have were pretty foggy anyway. His body seemed to know where he was going better than his mind did. It seemed to be working, though; the voices were getting louder. .. One of them was getting especially louder.
A few seconds later, he turned a corner and spied two men he didn't really know talking down the hall. One he recognized as a servant of Felis's who had been helping the others... ugh... 'care for' him... (How he hated that they had to..) At any rate, he'd been helping on occasion, and Ryan was pretty sure he'd seen him in passing on other visits, but he couldn't remember if he'd ever caught his name. The other the redhead wasn't sure if he'd ever met at all. He couldn't really make out a face from here, either, but... Blegh, he didn't know.
They seemed as good of company as anyone at the moment, though, and might know where Felis or Jae or Kitty and Rosa were. Thus, he began making his way down the hall toward them, still steadying himself on the wall as he went.

She just stayed frozen, a doubtful look etched into her face. How? How could they make it all right? How could she know they could do anything at all? Nothing could make things like they were.
It hadn't fully set in yet, but somewhere deep down in the back of Kali's subconscious, she was vaguely aware that this was about much more than her missing Pokemon. Even more than her missing friends and partners. Something was.... broken. Though this didn't really surface, the subtle feeling that the problem was bigger than it seemed did finally remind her, "I-... guess I should say Siavush- Sia's gone, too." She swallowed a bit, and took a deep breath. "He.. took most of my money.. Stormy and Sia.. what makeup I was carrying... and-...." ...You know, the tampons really weren't worth mentioning... >///< "Somerandomstuff.." she muttered, just to avoid leaving the 'and' hanging. .... =3= Ami probably read her mind anyway hadn't she... Kali sighed.

Why...? ... OH. Oh, right, uh-- "..Right! I-..I'll fix that." That meant her Hitmontop would fix that, like they did most things. >3> Ssh.
Looking around, she finally spied her phone and stared at it hesitantly. She realized the back had come off, too; well, it looked to be okay otherwise. ...She finally darted to the phone, gathering up the pieces before rushing back to Leon's side. Only once she was touching him again did she put them back together and ensure the phone was working. "Yeah, here.." She handed it to him.

She sighed.
" 'e said 'is name's... Kelsy?" She'd long since forgotten whatever last name he gave. "Tall, red hair... kinda outta shape..." She'd finally loosened her grip on him a little, and now went kind of limp against him. "S-..sorry I... can't thinka much more.."

Cool.. Now she'd just give it a second for them to be ported back to the lab. ...Hm? ..That was really odd. Only one was sent? She'd never seen lag like that, but.... After about a minute of just standing there, however, the Balls didn't move.
.........
Kali's pace began to quicken. Did the system glitch and take two of her other Pokemon? ...That... that had to be it. ...Surely they hadn't rolled out when her purse was dropped? They'd need to be much further than that to not be counted as being on her person. All the same, she gathered up the new Pokemon and went back to the alley entrance to begin digging around, searching any little crack or crevice. No sign.. ...Well that was good, right? She'd just find the nearest Pokemon Center and check her PC; she was sure her missing Pokemon would show up safe and sound. The system just glitched. It didn't matter if it had never happened before; machines made mistakes too, right? Shit happened and that's all it was.
She definitely didn't want to spend another minute in this hellhole, though, and dug through for-- oh God she prayed the missing ones weren't both Kjaer and Reyna, that would make transportation suck. To her relief, both were still there. ...To her horror, especially after patting her pocket to confirm Scolipede was still there, that meant the two missing had to be even worse. Nibbler, Sia, or Stormy...? ...Nibbler. Nibbler was still with her. ;-; Which meant... her.....
It suddenly hit Kali hard that Stormy had never been in the PC, ever. She'd never been further away from her than across the house or lab. Not once, not since she got her as a kid. If she ever needed overnight care for medical reasons, Kali insisted on sleeping in the lobby or having a doctor come to them.
OKAY Kali calm down. She was fine. She could live five minutes without her Electivire. She was a Pokemon. A great friend and protector, too, but a Pokemon, not oxygen. Not a security blanket. Kali was fine. She'd go right now and confirm her bab-friend was perfectly fine. Sending out Kjaer, she mounted and headed (with a bit of urgency) to a better part of town, keeping an eye out for any extra red roofs she wasn't aware of before.

She.. she hoped Kali was gonna be okay, but she'd gotten up quickly enough after that fall, and the Flygon knew by now there was no stopping her trainer when she set her mind to something. ... <_<;; Now where was that alarm.. thingy.. The thing with the buttons. She'd seen it once or twice. One of the Pokemon... was it Hades? ...Raira? ...Someone electric, Kjaer couldn't remember.. One of them mentioned a code to her once.. She wondered if she could remember...
At last finding the pad whose name still escaped her, she tried a few combinations of numbers; when the one she thought she remembered failed, she began switching a few numbers that seemed plausible, and finally she got it. .. :D Oh hey cool! She made it stop! ^w^ So she failed at the door, but she still managed to help~ That was always good.
-----
Meanwhile, Kali had just been sobbing into her lover's shirt, searching desperately for some way to force herself to believe him. This was even harder than forcing herself not to combat him on it, though the race was close. How could it possibly be okay?
Upon realizing the alarms had stopped, the girl felt--... a certain peace, oddly. It.. Well, she knew what it was, really, somewhere in the back of her mind. Everything had been so hectic for the past few hours; it was hard not to feel calmed by comparison. The rush of flight for so long, the sand in her face, the anxiety when Leon wouldn't pick up his damn phone, the frustration when it was pointless when he did, the blaring alarms, the various pains of all varieties: all that was just on top of the emptiness in her. Though she still had the latter, a moment of actual peace and quite in Leon's arms was.. She couldn't express how badly she'd needed this.
Again she had to stop and force herself to breathe properly, at least for a few breaths to catch hers. A little more coherently, she finally managed to sob, "I'z...." She huddled tighter into herself. "I wz robbed'n.... Stormy. ....stole Sto--" She choked again; her throat was on fire. It still didn't seem like this was even.. This shouldn't have been a thing that was even possible within the realm of this universe!

Two turns later, and she was barreling into him, clinging to his shirt with such force she threatened to cut into her hands with her nails even through the fabric. She wanted to bury herself completely within him and just never come out, never have to face this horrible world again; unfortunately for her, huddling against his chest was the closest she could manage.
Still, she was threatening to hyperventilate-- really not helped by her panting from running now, too-- but she was starting to calm now that he was here. She wasn't so alone now. Wasn't so empty, wasn't so naked. She.. had a pillar to cling to, and she wasn't letting it go for a moment. Breathing now. Breathing.
"ssstormizgon" she whimpered under her breath. "izhe..soztubid.. nevrzhudda... ztolen....." At the last syllable, her voice screeched up higher again, and the bawling came back a little.

"I-.." It shouldn't have mattered, but she just.. couldn't focus. For all that she had tried so hard to get ahold of him, all that really existed in her mind was what was immediately around her... and what she knew too well wasn't. "Shzhaiwhfiaf........." Really, just hearing his voice was a comfort... if a minuscule one.
She needed more, though. The lab was in view, and she pushed Kjaerlighet harder.
There was no 'landing'. The Flygon hit the sand in front of the door, then hit the door, busting it open (and knocking one off the hinges, um... oops.. <_<;; ..Kjaer made a note to fix that later..); the girl on her back flung off and hit the floor rolling. Kali's phone was discarded without even hanging it up, but the sound of her feet hitting the floor as she bounded down the hall. "LEON?"

Breathe, breathe dammit. Thoughts. Straight. "I--" She choked. "I wa-... Storm--... She--" All the wind with this was doing nothing to help.
Kali couldn't really help it, though. There wasn't much way to block it out while she was mid-flight.

However, there was little chance of mistaking the eventual cry of "LEEEOOONNNNNNN." Kali had planned... well.. No, she hadn't been able to think that far ahead, really, but she did try to say more. Instead, all that followed was something that sounded like bawling, hyperventilating, or a mixture of both.

Things in the lab were quiet, for the most part. Kali had left some time this morning, which was to say a morning that was definitely some time in March and not the day before her birthday at all, headed to the capital to Pokemon hunt and wedding shop. Kaito and Jasmine were rarely around anymore, really, or were so quiet when they were. Vengeance.. had been spending a lot of time lately with Jack.
The bright side was that Yue Leon Alias had plenty of time to concentrate.. right?
Or he would have, if it weren't for the fact that his phone wouldn't stop vibrating. It hadn't stopped for more than a minute for quite some time.
