Team Side Mission - Silph's Eleven

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Lykas shrugged as Aile's plan worked. "Kind of expected that to fail, honestly. Though I could've done that myself." He said as he followed the woman. Was that jealousy or simply annoyance with himself he was touting?

Following after Aile, he recalled Arcus and scanned the building as they walked. Every single little thing was just so...tidy. It was almost sickening how perfect the inside of this building was but maybe it was just because Snagem HQ was always messy in some way that the clean-ness here seemed unnatural. When they reached the President's floor, surprisingly unnoticed, he spotted the waiting area and the receptionist's desk from the farthest end of the hall.

"Hmm...That could be a problem..." He voiced as quietly as he could, to avoid drawing the Receptionist's attention. "Unless..." One of these doors had to be a bathroom, right? There should be one on each floor for the employees so they didn't have to wander far from their workspace. Possibly even a break room. Either would work. Inspecting the signage along the doors, he finally found what he was looking for and looked to Aile. "I'm gonna see if I can draw their attention this way and leave the office open." He told her. "Hide and be ready to make for the office."

Once Aile was out of sight, the hybrid would focus his attention long enough to shot a weak Water Spout down the hallway, resulting in a "splash" that should get the receptionist's attention and then used Acid Armor to melt into a puddle at the door he was standing in front of. He could follow the "leak" he'd created to get past whoever came to investigate without emerging from the water until the very last moment. And while they were looking for the source of the water, he and Aile could skate right into the President's office.  

[Reno Vantas]

Oh god, he could taste rainbows from this man's mind. Who in the hell was even this innocent and flamboyant? Well, Reno had met them and he could not concentrate worth anything on their surroundings while he had to put in the effort to maintain the mental connection. Giving the TM room a passing glance as they began to observe it, Reno felt like maybe he was missing something here. Hmm. Maybe it was something about robbing these machines in addition? Nah, he wouldn't do that. He couldn't be that cruel.

....Oh, he needed to get this over and done with before he ended up spewing sunshine and happiness 24/7.  

[Reno Vantas]

Giving a little smirk as he realized the opportunity that he had been presented, Reno would walk over to the tour guide before speaking to him. "Look, I know we need ta skip the fourth floor fer the normal tour, but do ya think I could sneak a peek at 'er?" He explained, carefully setting himself up in the man's mind to attempt something a little more creative than simply implanting thoughts for the man. He began to await any doubting or suspicious thoughts, targetted them specifically, and buried them back into the man's subconscious." I've just been real curious 'bout Pokeballs and things ever since I got Harleen here. We gotta take my sister's kids along but I promise i just wanna peek at it. Think ya can make that work?" He finished, making sure to keep his posture very open and deferring to the tour guide he was talking to. This non-threatening posture, in combination with a perceived lack of suspicion from the mental manipulation, should be enough to get them where they wanted.

Lykas would immediately begin to flow through the “leak” he’d made when the receptionist got to him, being sure he wasn’t spotted by her as she headed off toward the phone. He’d not reform into his normal self until he was on the other side of the President’s office door, though. He wasn’t the quietest person around when he wasn’t pretending to be water but once inside, he’d return to normal and begin helping Aile look around. “Ya, Sub said we needed a keycard to unlock the Pokeballs template he’s looking for.” The hybrid assured her, rifling through the various shelves and searching the walls for any kind of hidden compartment the company President might have had installed here for his personal items. If he happened to find something of value beyond the keycard, he might see if he could pocket that, too. Why not, right?  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno would smirk to himself as they began to slowly rise in the elevator. This was going so well for him and the rest of the Snagems. What could possibly turn this against him? He had even convinced the tour guide to take his small collection of people with him. All three of his extras were now at the fourth floor to do what they needed to do for Snagem.

Wait, something was wrong with that....Oh right, forgot to count himself. Four people in action up here to get things. "Thank ya sir. I really appreciate gettin' ta the unique devices that keep creatures like my lil buddy around." Reno told their guide, confident that he could handle anything strange that cropped up at the fourth floor. There was no way anything unexpected would come from the place.  

[Ms Edyn]

Throughout the tour, Sihlo stood in the back of the group. Watching. Taking a mental note of every person around her and devising how best to use any of them for a distraction. Thus far, her best option had been to use the man with the Wynaut.

She had just been forming a plan to trick the pokemon into attacking one of the other unsuspecting people in the tour when the man spoke up about wanting to see the fourth floor. Then, to her amazement, the guide actually agreed. Wasn't that area supposed to be off limits to civilians? Yet, here they were riding the elevator to the very floor she needed to be on. Things weren't quite going as she had planned, but she wasn't about to let this opportunity pass her by. She'd just have to ditch the group on the fourth floor instead.  

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Lykas overheard Aile's discovery of the Keycard while he was looking around the room, laying eyes on the unguarded, un-hidden golden Pokeball. "Too easy..." He told himself, trying to be sure that he wouldn't try taking it. Something like that, just left out in the open? It was either bait for someone too dumb to think otherwise or was so obvious that, should it go missing, the Silph President would notice it's absence immediately upon returning to his desk. "I want it but I'm not leaving tracks that easily." He told himself and Aile as he looked up at her, catching her eye and getting the hint immediately.

"Ya, ya, I'm on it." He griped, waving her off as he turned and walked back to the door, opening it without a sound, just enough the he could see. Peeking out through the tiny crack to see if the receptionist was back yet, he kept on high alert to sounds as well, trying to detect the most minute of potential threats.

Lykas would hear Sub's response and groaned. "Great...Now we have to leave in a hu-" He cut himself off when he heard voices. "Too late." Dammit! Why did those two come back now? Could it not be easy to steal something just one time? Closing the door again quickly but quietly, he turned to Aile. "We have a problem. Rent-a-cop's back and so is the desk jockey."

He considered the abilities he had at his disposal and what he could do with them when he remembered something. "Hold the SNAG..." Looking at his hand, he realized he did, in fact, have a shot at this. But he'd have to risk being seen if he was to succeed. "My ability's Cursed Body...If I could get out there and touch those two, maybe I can disable them long enough for us to get away?"
