Jail Buddies (Fish/Open)

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Hummmm… How long had been wake for? Or better yet, how long had he been awake for? He wasn’t even sure if it was light or dark outside. This duke guy needed to add a clock the room. Now, while most would have been board out of their minds or panicking/sulking like no tomorrow, Sen had actually managed to keep himself occupied. He had started by picking away at himself, making sure his nails were all good, and his hair was decent even without a brush. He had to make sure his clothes were at lest tidy as well. While most would have thought that was boredom right off, Sen felt it was a necessary thing to do when woke. After he had cleaned himself up as much as he could, he began to play small games with himself, talking a bit to no one in particular as he did. After a while of that, he found himself a tad energetic. Naturally he would have wanted to go for a walk, perhaps scoop out a ‘job’ or something to do to use up the energy. Sadly the space in the cell was kind of… well cramped. So, instead he found himself doing hand stands, small summersaults off and on the bed and a few other exercises. He had himself propped up against one of the walls, as he stood on his hands when his ears finally picked up the sound of something make a sound in another cell. He knew it could possibly just be one of the pokemon, but he called out anyway. “You awake old man?” The guy couldn’t sleep forever right? [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Kel had in fact, stirred. Unlike Sen, however, Kel's red hair was strewn all over his head--which still hurt. But that didn't stop the man; no. He'd done far worse by means of hangovers, after all.

Kel sat on his bed, rubbing his chin. How long had he been out? Hell, how long had he been locked up. At Sen's question, the old man snorted. "Yeah, I'm up. And you, Sen, are on probation."

The man grew silent, rubbing his chin. His Pokeballs were taken, as were his knives. And the rest of is tools. Wait!

Kel stood to his feet, reaching into the front of his pants and pulling out...a small dagger. "Damn...that prissy blond stole all my stuff..."

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Probation? Sen found himself falling forwards as he turned himself back over onto his feet and stood up. Something inside him shifted at that word, tugging at his insides for a moment. However , it didn’t last long as a smile took over Sen’s features. “Yah I figured as much” He replied. He was actually almost expecting to just be kicked from the team entirely but if Kel wasn’t kicking him from it, then he wouldn’t bring it up. It meant he had one last chance. That was… if they even got out of the place. Maybe they would get lucky and be set free with a slap on the wriest. Heh, their was probably a better chance of legendary showing up than that ever happening. “Yah, my pokemon were taken too.” Sen then replied, not mentioning anything else on that subject, “So what’s your name?” He knew his own cover had already been broken but at lest Kel could keep his identity hidden still, right? They had his face but nothing more. Or so Sen hoped. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

"Anyone else, and your ass would be fired on the spot. Besides, you got us into this mess. You at least need the chance to get us out." After saying this, Kel lightened up considerably, thinking of an alias.

"Israel Paul Freely," he replied, not missing a beat. "I. P. for short." Immature? Of course. Creative? Kel liked to think so.

"Now...make yourself useful. Any bright ideas?" Taking the dagger, Kel began to scratch something into the wall.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen let out a small laugh at Kel’s words. “I feel so special” He replied, knowing that Kel’s words were true. He had seen a few get kicked for a lot less. Sen wasn’t worried anyway. He’d make up for all of his strikes in no time. At least, he was certain he would. A burst of laughter slipped out of Sen as he heard the name Kel gave himself. Oh, he couldn’t wait for the posters to be put up for that one. It would be priceless. As for making himself useful? He had it all planned out hours ago but he wasn’t going to voice it quite yet. Well… he wasn’t going to voice it at all. He was simply waiting for the perfect moment. Surely the Duke wouldn’t be too upset with him afterwards. After all, everyone needed to survive, right? “I’m full of bright ideas, Mr. I. P. Freely,” Sen replied half laughing at name again. He was so going to have to use it as much as he could, “Now the ice breaker is… do you think they’ll feed us? Last thing I ate was berries and that was a long time ago Im thinking.” His stomach was going to eat it’s self, he was sure. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

Almost on cue with Sen's words, Rosie was moving down the hallway wielding a large cart full of different foods. Everything from fruits to different breads and canned goods were present and prepared to their up-most taste values. Passing Felis as he went, the Roserade simply sighed as the blond haired man continued to sit and do paperwork. The blond was finally acting like a Duke, yet it somehow only made Rosie all the more sour for some reason. Twisting his way down o the basement, Rosie opted to take the ramp way rather than the stairs and finally descended all the way to the bottom.

Meanwhile, Beth was asleep on her feet. She was supposed to be watching the two men to keep them from interacting and the like, yet the dragoness was exhausted. Rosie, however, saw no excuse. "ROSERADE!" he shouted causing Beth to tense and awaken rather quickly before letting out a threatening roar. Rosie 'hmph'ed before pushing the cart down to the first cell which happened to be Sen's. Pressing the code on the door before shoving the cart inside all the while just daring Sen to try anything so that he could just kill the bastard that was stressing out his beloved Duke. After a moment, the door sealed again as the cart went in. With that, Rosie turned and started back up the stairs to get the second one.

[KARP KARP!]

Kel snorted at the mention of his own 'name,' and continued running the countless little ideas through his head. Of course, not many of them were plausible, and most of the ones that would work required Pokemon.

"Actually..." Kel grinned; the old man had a plan.

"Ya had more than I did..." he muttered. Suddenly, he heard the sound of somethin--or someone--coming, and promptly sheathed his dagger and shoved it back in his pants.

The bandit's gray eyes darted to the food cart, but a sigh escaped his mouth when he saw it was a Pokemon, not a human. For this to work, he'd need Felis to come in. But that was no matter. Kel could be a slippery little devil when he needed to.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “You mean y-” Sen paused hearing someone else coming down to the basement. It oddly sounded like… a trolley? Sen was completely stunned when he saw the rather full cart of food. At first he was ready to convince himself that the food was for the sleeping dragon. In fact, he was almost certain it was for her when the flower pokemon woke up Beth causing her to let out a roar. He almost couldn’t help but chuckle at her. She was so cute trying to keep them in line while being so tired. However, Beth’s cuteness had been completely whipped from his mind when his cell door opened. In fact, Sen was almost certain his heart had stopped. That food was all for him? Heck, Rosa didn’t have to worry about him trying to run off. It was trying to get him out that was going to be hard. The snapping of the door seemed to pop Sen back to life… kind of. He very slowly approached the tray almost expecting it to just vanish or to be all fake. However, after picking up a grape from one of the bowls, a rather huge grin filled his face. “This is better than that good restaurant.” He gasped before shoving the grape into mouth and beginning to dig into the rest of the food. “You know that… one, in the capital.” [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Kel grumbled, as did his stomach as Rosie left, and seemed to be gone for ages. So, the man flopped back on his bed, muttering something about screwups and having to wait...

Thinking quickly, the man pulled the knife from his pants again, and shoving it under the mattress.

"Don't rub it in..."

[Jay]

A few minutes later, the sound of another cart being pushed could be heard, and sure enough, Rosie was there again. However, this time, he passed up Sen's cell and went over towards Kel's before doing much the same that he had done for Sen but for Kel: a threatening look, a push of the cart, and a walk away as the doors locked behind. "Rade," Rosie hissed something akin to 'back to work' which caused Beth to suddenly straighten again and let out a rawer.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Still eating away, Sen watched as the grass pokemon returned with another cart then watched as the grass pokemon left again. No doubt the food went to Kel’s cell. Man, all they needed was a tv and a better toilet and Sen could live there for life. It was a hell of a lot easier than stealing or working for the money to buy sub pare food and shelter. “So… Any idea what the Duke’s punishment is here in the south?” Sen spoke up again after Rosie had left. He had a good feeling the grass type would have no problems marching in slapping him around until he shut up. However the dragon… well Sen was willing to see just how far he could push Beth. As for the punishment… well Sen figured this food could mean one of two things; Felis was a push over or… it was their last meal. Naturally Sen was leaning towards the first but if it were the second… eh, hopefully the after life wouldn’t be too bad. Or maybe he would reborn. Aw damn, he would make the most awesome Emolga ever! Swooping down on those black wing things and sitting on the hottest guys shoulder while being hand fed… Just the idea of it was causing Sen to giggle to himself as he ate. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

"Finally," the bandit muttered as the Roserade left his food cart. The man promptly dug in, eating like he hadn't eaten in days; though it had in fact been a long time since he'd last eaten.

Kel stopped in mid-bite at Sen's question. He'd...never considered that part. Punishment could be a big problem...It could be anything from a little jail time to death...

The man shook his head at this; neither would do. Besides there was a meeting in a couple of weeks, and he just had to be there--oh Arceus...what would the gang do without him? Yeah, for the first time in quite some time, Kel Jaegar was starting to enter panic mode.

Kel shook his head again, finally answering the question. "I'm not sure. But I tell ya I don't intend on bein' here long enough to find out," he said quietly. The man quickly surveyed his surroundings. All he had at his disposal was a cart and an old small dagger. Finally, he settled on keeping the dagger hidden in his pants as he continued eating.

"You were right; this food is good. But I don't think it should stay in me long." Kel could only hope Sen would understand what he was implying. "How long ya reckon it'll be before it works its way out"

[Jay]

Meanwhile, Beth literally roared a yawn. Ugh she was sleepy. However, suddenly the sound of running could be heard down the stairs. Beth straightened up quickly, yet when she saw the forms of the three Power Puff hybrids, she smiled a little. <Hello girls> she smiled. All three girls, aside from Buttercup who attempted, and failed at, said smile. <Hello Miss Beth> they stated together. <Mister Rosie told us to come down and let you have some rest> Blossom smiled. Beth nodded her head and slowly moved off to a corner of the dungeon of sorts to rest. Blossom, meanwhile, quickly strode over to Sen's cell and stared inwards almost curiously. Buttercup just ended up sitting in the middle walk way while Bubbles walked over to Kel and frowned at him from where she was.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “A few hours, maybe a day or two.” Sen replied, after a short pause to think about it, “It will depend on when they decide how to flush the dump.” Yah, he had caught on to Kel’s code question and in return came up with a reply. Pretty much Sen had claimed Felis and who ever else was in on the decision making would most likely come to get them when ever they figured out what to do with them. Until then, Sen was certain he had no hope of breaking out of his cell. It was alright though. Sen didn’t mind them taking their time. Not that he had a choice in the matter. He knew they had a meeting with the other team members coming up yet that didn’t seem to bother him either. He continued to eat away at the food, picking out the food that seemed the sweetest. He didn’t pause in his eating again until he spotted more movement out of the corner of his eyes. More grass types? It seemed they were taking over for Beth. As Beth left and the Blossom drew closer and stared at him, he found himself staring back. After a good few moments Sen finally spoke up again, “You’re actually really pretty,” He commented, having never seen such a flower type pokemon before, “You’re a Blossom, right?” [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

"Sounds like we have ourselves a case of constipation," he grumbled. The bandit noticed the Pokemon frowning at him, but he pretended not to; after all, the man had more important things to worry about. Kel blinked, for the first time thinking about something.

"Hey, where do you think the kids are, and how're they doing? Or do you even know?" he asked, using the term 'kids' to refer to the Pokemon.

[Jay]

Blossom blinked a little rather surprised to be addressed by her name. Being a Shieldtwig, she was indeed part grass type though she didn't expect many to recognize it. However, after a few seconds, she shrugged her 'shoulders' and simply went on staring. As Sen and Kel talked, Blossom frowned a little but said nothing.

Meanwhile, Bubble's face was akin to something of a T_T as best anyone could describe it. She wasn't in the best of moods, to say the least of it, and this ugly human (from her point of view he was very very ugly in direct correspondence with her glorious breathtaking beauty, of course) certainly wasn't helping anything. "Shield," she snapped more or less telling him to 'shut up'.

Buttercup simply started humming deeply in her throat as she thought over what to do. Arceus give her an answer or something as to what to do with her time that would actually be more productive than simply sitting there and watching criminals! Hmmm.....

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen paused his eating for a moment to think over Kel’s question. “Still in the South were we left them I’d assume,” He answered before picking up one of the plats, shoving as much food as he could onto and then sitting down on the blanket less bed. He was pretty sure that was where most of their members where. It had only been Kel and Sen who had gone on ahead to East. Though their was a possibility one of them could have caught up. His eyes then drifted back to the Shieldtwig whom the writer had mistaken it’s name for the species (Murr). The pokemon had never answered him which made him think of that dragon pokemon. Heh, perhaps Felis just trained them not to talk to the prisoners. That or they all really did hate him. Ah well, Kali had claimed he wasn’t much of a likeable kind of a guy anyway. He could live with the knowledge of being a jerk. “You know, if we had a tv and maybe some blankets, I could live here for life. Maybe a window or two too.” He didn’t admit it, but he really would have liked some fresh air. He wasn’t use to being cooped up for so long, Naturally he would only stay inside for a good six hours the most. Sleep, eat, wash up and maybe a bit of tv. Besides that, Sen was an outdoors kind of guy. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]

[KARP KARP!]

Kel heaved a sigh. "I meant our Pokemon, you numbskull," he hissed softly. The red-haired bandit snorted at Sen's next comment. "Then you can stay and rot in here." It seemed as if the gravity of their situation was sinking in for the older man. And Sen just seemed not to care. Usually it was a good thing, but right now, it was raising a few questions; after all, this was all his fault in the first place.

Then, the man's eyes snapped to the hybrid. "What? You expect me to jump through a flaming hoop? Sneeze confetti? Well I ain't gunna, so go find something else to stare at."

[Jay]

Blossom swayed her head a bit and seemed to be thinking over what was being said. "They will not be back in your possession," she commented in perfect English and carrying herself surprisingly well language wise. Sighing a moment upon realizing she should have feigned an inability to talk, she just shook her head a bit and continued to stare at Sen.

Bubbles rolled her eyes and muttered a series of insults at Kel in poke-speak. Yep she was going to break his insolent legs soon if he kept going on the way he was. Stupid humans -3-. Meanwhile, Buttercup seemed to blink and turned her head towards Bubbles frowning a little but not saying anything right off.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Ohhh them, w-” Sen was about to give his answer on them, knowing very well that Beth had his the last time he had seen them. That blond haired man had Kel’s from what he knew. Of course, they could have very well been passed on to someone else or placed somewhere or… released. They would come back if they were released, right? Though he did wonder if they ever caught up to Ada. He knew very well the spider wouldn’t leave him. Either way, he was unable to answer Kel’s question for he had been interrupted by the pokemon watching him. Not by a roar or a angry sound. No, she had spoken. Sen had to admit, he didn’t expect the Pokemon to talk English as it had. “You know, I bet Plum would get along with you wonderfully.” Sen commented cheerfully to the Blossom before dropping some more food into his mouth. He didn’t seem at all fazed by her comment of them not getting their pokemon back. Plum, of course, was his Deerling. She got along with just about anyone and talked more than he did. If she could hear this pokemon speak, she would probably demand to learn how. Heh, she was a cute little deer. Kel, he was cute too. Sen could tell by the sound of his voice that the older man was getting irritated and angered. Poor guy was probably worried about the gang and how they would get out. Sen… well he wasn’t worried at all and not just because it wasn’t in his nature or capability to worry. He just knew, somehow, that he would be free soon enough. [/scrolly] [bg=4f2a66]
