Now with an egg...

[galactic_rings]

[Now a sufficiently older (Though how old, he isn’t telling) Saturn is standing in the CMA near the edge of the forest. He is currently carrying a golden-yellow egg with brown spots on it that he stole found lying around.]

Hmmm.

[He seems to be a bit lost in thought. His Toxicroak is standing idly nearby.]{OOC: Just a note, Saturn had been kind

Comments

Fixed something, sorry

[galactic_rings]

[Congratulations Slowking, you are the first talking Pokemon that Saturn has run into. Commence freaking out now. XD

Saturn turns to figure out who was addressing him and nearly drops his egg from surprise.]

What?! No...

[His surprise wavers, but he now looks skeptically at the Slowking. A talking Pokemon? Should those even exist? He doesn’t like the idea.]

^_^

[galactic_rings]

[Saturn looks mildly offended.]

If you are suggest that this egg is my Toxicroak’s, you are sorely mistaken.

[Yeah he is just going to have to get used to it, and he will actually accept it pretty quickly. It was only a day ago that he suddenly turned five. It seemed like an island thing to him.]

[What luck, Phoebe was just out wandering about in search of a fellow Team member. She almost passes by Saturn with nothing more than a glance, but does a double take and quickly salutes, going rigid in the process.]

C-Commander Saturn, sir!

[galactic_rings]

[Oh look it’s another one of those grunts. His first meeting with one on the island proved to be…interesting to say the least. Perhaps this grunt would at least be a little bit more useful. Saturn is actually a bit surprised to find another grunt on the island, but he readily takes on a commanding position.]

You. Identify yourself and report to me your current position.

[itsforscience]

Grunt E-13, from R&D, sir!

[She hesitates slightly in her words; telling Cyrus about her current orders didn't seem to please him. Maybe if she's a teeny bit more vague, she won't get yelled at? Not giving all the details isn't lying, right?]

And I'm in the process of gather-- I'm collecting samples for Commander Charon, sir!

[galactic_rings]

[Oh great. She works under him?

Ah I see…

[He was about to tell her to carry on whatever she was doing, but his curiosity was peeked. Maybe she could give him some insight as to what the old man was up to. No good perhaps?]

Do go into greater detail. What sort of samples?

[distorted_deity]

[The aging event seems to have left a few people somewhat disoriented, and Cyrus is no exception; it is perhaps, then, a positive thing that he comes across someone familiar. The egg, of course, is not familiar, but as he approaches he doesn't seem too inclined to comment on where Saturn might have obtained the thing; all the same, his gaze flicks pointedly towards it before he addresses him.]

...Saturn.

[His tone is even, not wavering from a cold sort of calmness that matches the ice in his gaze.]

Your absence over these last few weeks has not gone unnoticed...explain yourself.

Derp

[galactic_rings]

Saturn saw Cyrus coming, but he wasn’t sure how happy he was to see him. However, he knew this meeting had to take place, so why hold off the inevitable?]

Master Cyrus, sir…

[This is about as close as anyone is going to get to a squeak coming from Saturn. Cyrus has always been a bit… emotionally stunted (at least he always seemed to try), but now was worse then ever and it was certainly creepy.]

I.. well I was walking though the island, to get an idea of how everything works here and trying my hand at communicating with some of the locals, when this particular area of the island was a bit… difficult to find.

[distorted_deity]

[...right.]

In other words...you lost your way entirely. Is this what you expect me to gather from that...?

Cause eggs make everything better

[galactic_rings]

Indeed, sir.

[Yeah, Saturn is just going to look at Cyrus for a while before adding.]

When I wasn’t… lost I did manage to have a positive conversation with one of the champions. Though the others were too suspicious… I figured this might help.

[He holds the egg out slightly]

[insultyoulater]

[Green was bringing groceries back to restock his gym-condo-silliness in the woods just over yonder]

Lost, my dear? [he added the last bit just because you don't look like you have a lot of humor in your bones]

Hopefully you can work with this

[galactic_rings]

[Yeah Saturn is going to be sending a glare in Green’s direction. He was about to shoot off a disgruntled no, but he held his tongue in favor of trying to get the locals to at least not completely distrust him. By Cyrus’ orders of course.]

...no... I’m not lost... just thinking..

[No funny bone here. Saturn twitches inwardly at being called ‘dear’. But outwardly he is all smirkssmiles, as much as he can manage anyway.]

[insultyoulater]

Thinking? Half-way between the city and the forest seems an odd place. [smirk]

But I'm not one to judge. [liar]

Green's the name. [handshake offered, might as well be cordial]

[galactic_rings]

Oh, but it’s the perfect place to think. Nice and quiet. until you showed up. [Saturn can smirk too. XD ]

My name is Saturn. [Handshake denied.] I do apologize, but my hands appear to be occupied. [He doesn’t sound to sorry by his tone, though that is just how he usually sounds. He glances down at the egg in his hands and then back at Green.]
