General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post, and 5 minute voting period for combat votes. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible. There are occasional roles to keep things organic, but mostly it goes by voters choice. Unless specified otherwise, the best of 3 rolls is the result, and rolling high is good.

Write-ins for all votes or always welcome and encouraged. Put your own spin on it, suggest dialogue, add an addendum, or anything else. Just because some options specify to write in, doesn't mean that they aren't welcome for anything else. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.

You start making your way to to the Pink Persian. Robin, Vance, and Jeanine all look like upset about having the suspicions of Tony confirmed. Vance is especially angry. You’d hate to be Delmer when Vance catches up to him. Still, maybe he’s not thinking straight either.

Jeanine looks like she can handle herself in a rough situation. She has a confident air about her. She may just be putting on a front though, you don’t really know her well enough to say for sure.

Robin looks scared, but also determined. You’re crazy about her, but you know she might not have the nerve for what might come up. Then again, even when she was panicked on the boat, she was willing to break the rules and come up with a good plan.

Any one of them might end up being either crucial or detrimental, depending on how things play out.

>Try to send Robin home. It’s too dangerous
>Find an excuse to send Jeanine home
>Tell Vance to go home. He won’t be thinking straight
>You’ll work better alone. They’ll all just be a distraction
>You trust their judgement. If everyone is willing to come along, you accept that

Vance in particular needs to be along because he needs level-headed people to keep him in line. Going home would just remind him why he's mad. Jeanine is the right balance of mad and determined, and Robin may seem scared, but she's the smart one of the group. She's almost guaranteed to come up with a solid plan when the pressure is on.

You look over your friends. Jeanine catches your eye. She gives you a knowing nod, like she can read what you're thinking. "This might get dirty."

Vance looks dead ahead. "I hope so."

Robin keeps herself positioned in the middle of the group. She tries to keep herself from drawing any attention. "I know." She looks at you. "I'll stay close and follow your lead."

That makes you feel a lot better. You give her hand a squeeze.

The Pink Persian is a seedy looking bar. To Vance’s surprise, it’s the area that was fenced off when he was showing you a shortcut to the Pokemon center.

You can almost hear the record scratch when you walk inside. It looks almost exactly like you pictured in your head. Load music, smoke, rough looking customers, and an atmosphere that says you should stick to your own business. Vance steps forward. The look on his face says he almost wants trouble. Nobody gives him any, and you’re able to find a seat. Nobody cards you either.

You see a man in the back of the room with blonde hair and a scar on his face. Before you can do anything and before he can see you, he’s led into a back room. You catch a glimpse of what’s going on there. You see a bunch of people gathered around a cage betting on vicious Pokemon battles and some gambling tables around the room. One thing that really stood out is that he’s openly wearing a Team Imperium uniform. It looks different from last time, like he’s been promoted or something.

The door swings closed. There’s a man standing in front of it. He’s obviously a guard or bouncer. He doesn’t look like he’s taking his job too seriously though. You watch him try to subtly have a drink as he leans against the wall next to the door.

If he can openly walk around in that uniform, the bar is probably loaded with other Team Imperium members.

>>
>>30874360
>Stake outside until Delmer comes out
Think about it, Delmer is part of team imperium, Delmer is going in there. There are a lot of pokemon and a lot of trainers in there. Bad trainers who cheat and lie and break the rules.

Do you really want to try shit in there?

Yeah convince him we are a big time gambler and this is your entourage.

You get up. "Come on. We're leaving."

"But we just got here." Robin looks confused.

Vance doesn't look at you. His eyes dart from table to table. He's sizing everyone up. "Why?"

Jeanine says nothing.

"We can wait for Delmer outside. We can't risk starting anything in here. Who knows how many of these people are part of Team Imperium?"

Jeanine and Robin nod in agreement. Everyone looks to Vance, forcing him to finally look back at the party. "Alright. That makes sense."

The four of your head outside. The cool night air washes over you. Before setting up to wait, you go around the building to check for more exits and entrances. There's a fire exit in the back alley. It's poorly lit and there are dumpsters and other places that are good for hiding behind.

The front of the building isn't well lit either, but you'd need to be far back if you didn't want to be seen. Because of the fencing though, there's only really one path they can take. You'd just have to be a little further from the building, and willing to hide by a small park bridge.

Jeanine has a serious face on. "We can't split up, we won't be able to communicate."

Robin steps forward. "Can I see your Pokedex?"

You don't see why not. You hand it over. Robin starts playing with something on it. After a few minutes she gives up. "Most Pokedexs these days have short range communication capabilities. I can't get yours to work though."

"I still have mine," Jeanine says. "Never saw any reason to throw it away." You don't think that's the case, but this isn't the time to get into it. Robin takes it and starts fiddling with the settings.

"Yes! OK. Press this button to talk. Don't get to far away or it won't work."

Vance gazes at the bar. "What's the plan?"

"Vance and Robin, you both stay at the front. Keep your eyes peeled."

Jeanine stands next to you. "So it's you and me, huh?"

You nod.

Vance looks like he's itching to get things going. You hope he doesn't do anything stupid. You're not sure how well Robin will be able to keep him in line. At the same time though, having him watch over Robin is relieving. You remember his savage beat down in Chloroville.

You and Jeanine go around to the back. She takes the position you were going to recommend. She might not have your background, but she seems observant. Strong too. You're starting to think that she'll need the least instructions. You'll keep your final judgement until after you see how she handles the next part though.

Jeanine periodically checks in on the Pokedex. Robin confirms that they haven't seen anything on their end yet.

A long time passes.

You're starting to think that maybe this wasn't a great idea. Just as you're about to call it off, the door opens in the back. You and Jeanine get into position.

There are three of them. Delmer, and two grunts you don't recognize. From their slurred talk, you can tell they've had a few drinks.

"So I told him to shut up, and took it right out of his hands." Delmer is bragging about his latest take.

One of the grunts says something. "How come you're still getting your hands dirty? You're an executive now."

"Because if you don't do the basics once in awhile, you get sloppy." Delmer's voice is dripping with impatience and sarcasm.

One walks over in your direction. You and Jeanine slide as far back into the darkness as possible. She sees you hold your breath. Her chest rises as she does the same.

He pees on the dumpster next to you. Ew.

>Stay hidden for now. He shouldn't notice you unless you make noise
>Try to take them with Jeanine. You won't have the element of surprise if they see you
>Maybe you can just knock this one guy out. The others sound like they're walking in the other direction

>>Maybe you can just knock this one guy out. The others sound like they're walking in the other direction

just bring our shiv up under his balls

"were the fucks my money?"
>>
>>30875547

Wait until he finishes, then grab him from behind, cover his mouth and knock him out. Hopefully his 'pals' would have moved on and won't notice his disappearance until a little further down the road...

Once we have him we can call Vance and Robin for support and take the trash to somewhere we won't get disturbed and get Vance to 'Interrogate' this 'exec'..

You and Jeanine stay hidden. You have to squish back into her hard to keep you both in the dark, but it's worth it. The grunt finishes up, and leaves.

"Hey come on! Wait up!" He runs after the other grunt and Delmer.

You unstick yourself from Jeanine, but you wait until the three of them take the turn around the other end of the alley before calling in to Robin and Vance.

"We saw Delmer and two Imperium members leave through the back," Jeanine says quietly. "I think we're going to follow them." She looks to you.

This call is a no brainer. "I'll follow them, you follow me."

Jeanine repeats what you said into the radio. She's all business when the chips are down.

You run after the three of them, move quietly with your years of practice. You glance back to see Robin and Vance with Jeanine. She looks like she's explaining it in more detail to them. You wave them over to take your spot as you advance to keep on Delmer's trail.

This pattern continues for a few blocks until you arrive at another dark alley. Delmer is trying to find his keys as the other two chat. They don't seem like they're in any hurry.

Vance comes up from behind you, quickly followed by Jeanine and Robin.

"You're supposed to stay behind me." You keep the annoyance from your voice as best you can.

Vance peers around. "You stopped." That's all the explanation he gives. He's becoming too impatient.

Jeanine gives you a look that says she's sorry for letting Vance get away. Well, it's not like she had a lot of options.

Delmer opens the door to the inside of an apartment building, and the other two line up behind him. It looks like they're heading inside.

Vance gets up. "Their backs are turned. We can take them by surprise."

They're at the door. If you don't act now, you don't know when you'll get another chance like this. Vance is ready to run after them, but he still barely manages to keep a cool enough head to wait to hear what you have to say.

"Vance."

"Yeah?"

"Sic'em."

Vance bursts into action, nearly knocking you down as he charges down the alleyway. Jeanine is hot on his tail, with you and Robin behind her.

Vance clothslines the first unlucky grunt, slamming him into the ground. He turns his attention to the other one and starts to head after him.

The one on the ground isn't out though, he pulls out a Pokeball. Jeanine is quick to grapple it out of his hands and give him a hard blow to the chest, knocking the wind out of him. His Pokeball rolls away from his hands as he holds his gut.

You try to get to the door before it closes. Delmer is surprisingly quick. He shuts it closed. You can see him dashing up the stairs.

The other grunt gets out a Pokemon. It's another Wartortle. It looks tough. Vance doesn't hesitate. He just tackles it. Nobody is more shocked than the Pokemon. They exchange headbutts while the grunt reaches for another Pokeball. Jeanine grabs one off of Vance and throws it out. She ends up with his Stunky against the grunt's Koffing.

"Go! We can handle this guy."

You have no idea how well she can battle. She kept a cool head while Vance is going berserk though.

Robin pulls at the door. She can't get it loose, so she jumps to grab the fire escape. She's not shying away from the action.

If Robin is going on her own, tell her to go for the nads, its his weakspot.

>Chase after Delmer through the stairs, cover both bases
We don't actually know which apartment is his, or the layout of the building. If he has an apartment that isn't against the street, Robin will be very embarrassed.

We really need to hurry, though, if he gets that call off we're in big trouble.

You consider having Levi smash through the door, but you know this type of lock. It's easy. You only take a second to get it open with your card. You're actually proud of how fast you are.

You bolt up the stairs. As you take the turn you see Vance knock the Wartortle out. The grunt takes out a Raticate. It flies through the air as it's released. Vance kicks it into the nearby dumpster before it can land. The grunt is releasing Pokemon as fast as he can, but Jeanine and Vance take them out even faster.

You release Devon as you run. He hits the ground running after Delmer. A spray of acid hits ground in front of you, but you keep moving. Delmer is easy to keep track of as he runs up the stairs. You keep pace until he reaches his floor and runs into the hallway.

When you follow through the door, Arbok is there waiting. It leaps at you, but Devon intercepts and rolls onto the ground with it. Ahead in the hall, you see Delmer fumbling with his keys.

You toss out Zappy Dan. "Thunderwave! Let's go!"

He tries to get inside before it hits, but you see hit take the wave before stumbling into his apartment. Shit. Now you'll have to choose between securing him and helping Devon.

Delmer comes flying back out of his apartment door and slams into the hallway wall. You see Robin come out of the apartment door after him. She has her Joltik wrapping him in web.

Well, never mind then.

Devon and Arbok finally break apart. They have a standoff of growling and hissing. Their fighting has been uncoordinated, savage and vicious. It looks like Arbok has been winning, but Devon doesn't want to back down.

Fight =/= Battle
>>

As opposed to letting Dan just float and sputter for a while while we focus on Devon? And what about double battles?

If our team can't already work together when the pressure's on, they need to learn.
>>
>>30878294
this. there's no sense in letting him get seriously hurt, and its getting to the point where in an official battle we would debate switching out anyways. we'll make it up to him if he's that bent out of shape, but survival comes first
>>
>>30878280
I don't think so. This isn't a regulation pokemon battle, the opponent would be using every measure available to him if he could.

Practicality trumps sentimentality when lives and livelihoods are on the line. Otherwise, I would agree.

You command Dan to back Devon up. Arbok tries to bite Devon, but Dan takes the poison bite on the face and unleashes a powerful bolt of electricity. Devon follows up with a Dark Pulse. Together they make short work of Arbok. Especially since Arbok doesn't have a trainer. You take the Pokeball that Delmer used and return Arbok to it before Arbok can come around and does something unexpected. Devon gives Dan a funny look after, but when you pet them both, he turns into a puppy again and licks your hand.

As that wraps up, Jeanine comes up the stairs, panting. "We got them both. Vance is guarding them."

She sees Robin standing over Delmer. "Good job. Alright, let's all get into his apartment before someone shows up."

Jeanine goes down to get Vance. He drags up the two unconscious grunts and you help Robin push Delmer into the apartment. You lock the door behind you.

The apartment is pretty nice for such a run down building. There are paintings and bits of art laying around. The window's been smashed.

You look at Robin. "How did you know which place was his?"

She gives you a quizzical look. "His name was on the buzzer at the front door." You're impressed. She really did keep her wits. You just assumed they wouldn't list the apartments to the names, so you didn't check.

The webbing keeps Delmer from moving, but looks up at the four of you.

"Hey. I know you! You're the punks from that karaoke place in Chloroville. What, did I take your favorite Pokemon or something?" He laughs. He's not taking this seriously.

Vance picks him up and slams him into the floor.

[x] Find a metal brand somewhere. Ask Devon to hold it in his mouth and heat it. Threaten to brand Delmer with it.

We get a weapon and teach Devon Fire Fang!

We need a friend in the cops. That'd allow us to actually put these people away for a long period of time. As is, we're probably breaking several laws and don't have a way to keep these people from coming back to try and get even with us or Vance's parents.

There is only one solution. We must feed him to Leviathan.

If there's no evidence, then they can't do anything either. We can at least beat the hell out of them and tell them to stop that shit.
>>
>>30878911
We'd need to feed all three of them.

You look to Robin and Jeanine. "You guys should search the place."

They both nod and get to work. Huh. Running a gang of lawbreakers is surprisingly easy.

Vance holds the Team Imperium Executive up against a wall.

You take a more casual approach. You don't look at him. Instead you wander around the room, inspecting the art. "Delmer. Delmer Delmer Delmer. That's a nice name you've got there Delmer."

He doesn't look impressed. "What do you want?"

"Shut up!" Vance slams him against the wall.

You keep calm and relaxed. "Oh no. Don't shut up. I want you to talk. I think my big friend here really wants that too."

Delmer gives you both a cold hard stare. "Whatever you want, I'm not saying a word."

"Where's the money!" Vance hits him against the wall again. His head smacks against the drywall.

"If your friend here keeps doing that, I won't be able to talk either way."

You put a hand on Vance's shoulder. "We don't mean to ruin your day. You're the one that ruins our day Delmer. You stole money, and we want it back."

Jeanine throws down a few bottle of pills. "Illegal extracts. Uppers, downers, and a whole mess of aphrodisiacs and 'libido enhancers.'"

Robin comes back from checking out the bedroom. "There's a machine back there. It's a modified PC. You can use it to change the registration ID of a Pokemon after you steal it."

"Ha! You think I know where the money is? It's gone! Nothing left!"

Jeanine is standing next to him, concentrating. "He's lying." You don't know if she can actually do that, or if she's bluffing. Either way, it gets to him.

Delmer looks a little uncomfortable, but he keeps his composure. "Whatever. My lips are sealed. Go home kids."

>Keep up the nice act. He's not saying anything useful yet, but he's still talking with you.

One by one, until he talks. If he doesn't, we can start releasing his Pokemon.

Vance breaks his art on his legs.

I say we keep up the nice act, but casually refer to the number of horrible things we could do to him, Destroying his art, releasing his pokemon, having Vance kick his ass, etc.
>>
>>30879299
"Maybe we should just leave you here, call the police? I'm sure they'd have a lot to talk about, with all this evidence just lyin' around.

Or you can give us what we came for, we both go our seperate ways, and we never speak a word of this little misunderstanding. You keep your street cred, we get our money. Everybody wins."

And then stab the fucker in the back and call the cops anyway.

We can't act mad, if we do we are showing that he still has some control. By staying calm and nice we are showing that we are the one's in control. So the best choose is to keep calm and start to calmly wrenching his stuff.

If he can get his ass beat by a bunch of kids, he's clearly a weak link in their organization. For a street thug, that's one thing. For an Executive, it might be a good way to wake up at the bottom of a lake.
>>
>>30879651
And it's not just the higher-ups that'd be on his ass. The other Executives might want to muscle out some of the competition, and up-and coming underbosses or lieutenants might be looking to make a name for themselves.

Being higher up in the organization doesn't make you safer.

"I don't want to be here, Delmer. I want to leave you alone. I really do. The problem is if I leave you alone with my large friend, you won't be walking out of here."

He says nothing. You take a different approach. You walk over to a statue, then look over to Robin. "Do you know what this one is called?"

"Uh, umm... I think that's called Arcanine's Flame." She's trying to keep a tough facade, but you know she's the weakest link in that department. You make a mental note not to have her talk anymore.

"Pretty," you say as you tip it over. It smashes on the ground.

"I have friends. You can't expect to get away with this." He's trying to intimidate you now.

You spin around and look him dead in the eyes. Your voice is calm, "And what will you tell your friends exactly? A bunch of brats beat you and your guards, tortured you and ransacked your place? Is that a story you want to tell to anybody?" You maintain eye contact, just like the first time with Levi. And just like that first time with Levi, he breaks first. "Don't be a fool Delmer. We can all win here. It's either that, or we don't get what we want, we tear your place apart, break a few of your bones, take your Pokemon, and you have to explain to your bosses what happened. I'm sure the acoustics in prison will make it sound better."

He's thinking now. You can see it play out in his mind.

Vance loses his patience again, he picks Delmer up and yells. "Where's the money!"

This time Delmer's gaze doesn't look full of contempt. For just a second, his eyes flicker towards a painting on the wall.

"Check the painting," You command nobody in particular. Robin runs over and moves it, revealing a safe.

"What's the combination Delmer?"

You can tell he's close to fully breaking down. He doesn't have a lot of options left. He's still resisting though.

Or, you can not tell us, and we can break it. And then, then you didn't help us at all. Are you sure you want to do that, Delmer?"

We might as well -try- to do this with the least amount of collateral damage as possible.

We shouldn't hesitate to fuck up his place if it seems necessary though.

Play with Arbok's pokeball.

"does your boss even know you took this job? man, i wouldn't want to be the guy that got caught shorting team imperium, or the guy that got busted by a couple of kids for that matter. come on Delmer, a couple of numbers and you can just walk outa here, your buddies here can even take the fall when the cops show up"

"Just a few little numbers, and you'll never have to find out."

Thisssssssssssssss...

>>30880195
That would be an... idea, except our Pokemon has to put it's mouth on a mans balls. We don't want to scar Vlad for life.
>>
Guys!

Modified PC? A Wartortle? This nigga stole the starters.
>>
We could always just start taking a knife to him. Getting people to talk isn't really that hard if you're willing to do what it takes.

Though Kat may not have the stomach for it. Robin a Jeanine certainly won't, It would cool Vances' anger though.
>>
>>30880279
AND he was at Chlorovile!
>>
>>30880279
Ohhhhhh, fuck. We definitely need to check what Pokemon he has, and get the police involved.
>>
>>30880294
i am still for reaching in and grabbing a testicle. just a bit of pressure on it and he'll sell his own mother to be rid of you.
>>
>>30880279
Once we have the money, we can loot around.
We'll take a poke at the machine, too.
>>
>>30880294
Actually, this is one of the few situations where torture would be effective as an interrogation tool.

But it's still massively out of character for literally every member of the group and you should feel bad for suggesting it. Beating somebody is one thing, cutting them up like a butcher is entirely another.
>>
>>30880347
Again, see >>30878907

Best intimidation option and best torture option.
>>
>>30880279
We should definitely call Fir if we figure out that's what happened. It'd be good for someone on the outside to know what's happened, specifically someone who's not with the local cops.
>>
>>30880347
Torture can be used in more situations than you think as long as you keep them alive and tell them that if they lie you'll be back and it'll be a thousand times worse.

And we only need the threat of it, or just a cut or two, we don't have to go all the way.

"I'm trying to be sensible here. Wouldn't you agree this is preferable to letting muscles here have his way?"

He looks away. You have him where you want him. "Delmer, Delmer. You can tell us the combination, we'll use it, and then we won't have a reason to be here. Or, you can not tell us, and we can break it. And then, then you didn't help us at all. Are you sure you want to do that, Delmer?"

You inspect the painting. "Which piece is your least favorite, Delmer? We'll be nice and start there."

"Come on! That one's an original."

You place it down gently. You want to overwhelm him with ups and downs. He sighs in relief. "So does your boss even know you took that job? What would you tell your friends here when they come around? Giving us a few numbers is a lot easier than dealing with that."

"Alright! Fine! 29, 13, 32."

Robin opens the safe. Jackpot. There's a huge stack of money there. "Was that so hard?"

Jeanine and Robin start piling it into a bag. Jeanine looks up. "This is only part of it."

"Hey! That's as much as I have! I swear that's everything!"

Jeanine walks up to him and closes her eyes. "Say it again."

Delmer is freaked out. He does what he's told. "Uh. Hey, that's as much as I have. I swear that's everything?" Jeanine looks back at you.

Delmer keeps talking. "That's most of it. I gave the rest to the boss."

I don't think we should really be taking anything beyond the money. The artwork is probably stolen and thus hot as hell - Same thing with the drugs. We can't offload it.

And people opting to take pills to use them later are dumb as balls. Delinquent, yes, but druggy? Let's be reasonable about this. Drugs fuck you up.

>>30880736

Then we don't even need that shit, so why bother taking it? We're not going to be able to unload it, we aren't going to use it personally, and it makes us look bad to our group.

This.

ITT: buncha idiots trying to be smart criminal with the ability of a twelve year-old delinquent...
>>
>>30880948
He IS tied up, or rather he's netted in Joltik goo.

A variant: we could stay and wait for the cops. Fir told us about the missing starters, we told him we'd look into it, and when we heard that our friend's dad got mugged by a guy with an Arbok, we decided to follow it as a lead. What we got was this.

The cops get the full story, both problems are tied off, and Fir backs us up if the cops give us any grief.
>>
>>30881037
It's getting pretty tiring.
>>
>>30881026
You don't have to like the police to know that they are useful.

The alternatives are letting him off with a beating, which is just asking for him to come after us later, or kill him, which is not really an alternative at all.
>>
>>30881027
Plus, we've already established that he was holding out on the Bosses. If nothing else, we weeded out a rotten Executive for them.

None of them are gonna care, because it's clear that we've gotten as far as we will and we've actually done them a favor.

"Oh, one more thing. That PC back there could be used for a lot of different things, right? Say, changing the ownership of a set of starter Pokemon?"

Delmer tries to regain some of his lost pride. "Maybe."

"Jeanine, can you tell which Pokemon are theirs, and which ones belonged to someone else?"

Jeanine's eyes are wide. "I don't know. Maybe? It would take awhile even if I could. If they didn't have a strong connection with their old trainer, or viewed humans the same way in general, I wouldn't know the difference. I'm not a mind reader."

Delmer looks burnt. "You're not?"

"Vance, take the PC if you can. Robin, help me with their Pokeballs."

You quick inspect each of their Pokemon. There's a smattering, but three stick out. A Wartortle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur.

"It can't be a coincidence," Robin says. You take the three starters and leave the rest.

Vance comes out of the back room with a large PC. "I don't think we can travel with this." Looks like he's starting to calm down.

You snatch a small container of pills and leave the rest. You're not sure what you'll do with them yet. You'll decide on that later.

You grab some tape from his kitchen and put it over Delmer's mouth.

As you're leaving, Vance gives him a hard right, knocking him out. The four of you leave the apartment with most of the money, three new starters, a small container of pulls, and rapidly beating hearts.

Vance is able to lead you to a payphone. "Parts of the city are really old and traditional," he explains.

You let out a sigh and dial the police. You disguise your voice as you report on the apartment. The person on the other end keeps asking for your name, but you ignore her and tell her to come to the apartment right away. You tell them there's a bunch of people and Pokemon fighting.

With that done, the four of you start walking away from the booth, just in case. You're feeling a lot closer to all of them now. It's like you all have this crazy thing you did together.

You and Robin walk behind Jeanine and Vance. Without the other two looking, you take the pills out. Robin looks you in the eyes, surprised.

Your pour the pills out into a puddle as you walk. Robin says nothing, but keeps eye contact. After a few seconds, she takes out a her own bottle of pills and tosses them out too. She looks incredibly embarrassed as your eyes widen in surprise. She also shows you Delmer's wallet.

"I just wanted to see what it was like. To steal I mean. I figured they were bad people, and I wouldn't get a chance like that again." Her voice is low. Obviously she doesn't want Jeanine or Vance to hear.

>Tell her to leave that stuff to you. You don't want her getting bad habits

>You don't know how you feel about that yet
>Something else.

You do realize that if Delmer was stiffing the boss, he probably cut the pills with nasty shit as well?

I'd feel marginally better about taking them if we knew he was also taking them.
>>
>>30881576
>Don't know how to feel about that yet.
For us, it's a bad habit we're trying to break. After all, leaving the wallet and drugs at the scene would have made a more convincing case for arresting the guy.

We really do need her to be the level-headed one for the sake of the group.
>>

You blink. "Oh. Wow. OK. I didn't see that coming."

Robin looks down at her feet. "Are you mad?"

"I'm more surprised than anything. Good thinking on the wallet though." You walk a few paces before you ask the question that's burning to be asked. "Did you like it?"

"Yes. I mean. I feel bad, but in a good way. My heart is still pounding. I don't know if I'd feel this way if it was someone else though. I'd feel terrible."

"That's good." You're still trying to wrap your head around this.

She looks relieved. "So if I did that again..."

Robin must have had fun. She's asking for permission on doing it again already. "I don't know how I feel about that. I mean, I'm pretty impressed, but I don't want you getting bad habits." You keep your voice light and teasing.

"So you won't give me tips then?"

You're honestly not sure. She could do well. Innocent face, small delicate hands. Still, she's your Robin. You don't want her to go down that road, but at the same time you're giddy. "We'll see. I have some other bad habits I want you to get into first." You pull her in for a sloppy, wet kiss. Maybe it's the leftover adrenaline, but you're both a little more free with your hands than usual.

Vance and Jeanine must have stopped walking and turned around, because one of them taps you on the shoulder. It's Vance. "We need to talk."

He looks serious. Jeanine steps in from beside him. "We need to figure out what we're going to tell Vance's parents."

Vance stares off into the downtown lights. "I don't want to lie to them, but if they knew what happened tonight..." He doesn't finish. He just looks lost in thought.

>He should tell them the truth. They seemed easy going.
>Tell them you wanted to invest. You'll put in the rest of the money. (About half of your total money)
>Tell them you wanted to invest. You'll put in all of your money.

Cops are gonna jump on that grunt like no tommorrow. They're aren't going to sick their understagged asses on someone who had beef with them.
They'll probably just pin it down on interior squabbling.

This is both the option to allow us to get back to some low money adventure, which is in my opinion better, and it is factually a great investment. We stand to make tons of money if Vance's parents pull through, and frankly, I trust them to not fuck up again.
>>

>"OK, here's the story we'll tell them" (write in)
'We'll come in arguing, Robin chastising me for what I did. I'll present the cold hard facts to your parents, if they approve of it we'll include you in our story. If they look like they want to die, I'll take the fall. Sounds good?'

We should ask Vance what to do about Tony, too. Do we rat him out, or what?
>>
>>30882218
Pretty much. I wouldn't mind this, too
>>30882203

I was going to say that I didn't really like the idea of investing so much, but it's not too unlikely now that we get some criminal robbing us at knife-point, forcing us to transfer the funds. Probably safer with one of the very few adults we have reason to trust.
>>
>>30882122
Okay so we assume the Police are complacent, wjat about the Boss.
He's going to be on the Prowl for the people that took a shit on his doorstep.

If it were me I'd get my gym badge tomorrow amd then skip town. I wouldn't use the Pokemon I pulled in the confrontation.

>He should tell them the truth. They seemed easy going.

Tell his parents the truth, and make up the difference in investing money. Besides, it will leave Vance's parents vulnerable to future shenanigans if they don't know what happened. We don't want some Team Imperium grunts knocking down their door one night without giving them a reason to be prepared.
>>
>>30882362
Fortunately, the two we used have a Fighting weakness, so we likely won't use them.
>>
>>30882362
But the Boss might not be able to find out our face. Unless he busts the grunt from jail, and that would be a waste since the guys an incompetent. If the Grunt did get sprung, would he say he got beat up by a bunch of punks?

"We'll tell them the truth. Mostly. We'll tell them you weren't involved until the end, where you bailed me out. I'll take the responsibility for it. I want to invest in the rest."

Vance looks concerned. "Kat, that's a lot of money. Plus I can't ask you to-"

You stop him "We'll skim over the unsavory details. They don't need to worry unnecessarily about you, but they should probably know what happened."

Vance sighs. "That makes sense. I still don't feel comfortable with you doing so much. What if you lose your money?"

Robin butts in. "I talked to your parents about their books. Other than this, they haven't lost money in a long time."

Vance doesn't fight it. You continue going to his parents.

Jeanine asks the other remaining question. "What are we going to do about Tony?"

>Pay him a visit. Tell him to sell the diner at the original price and skip town

>Don't say anything. Let Vance decide

>>30882658

We have the leverage here. Besides, a smaller initial investment will help our bottom line.
>>
>>30882658
>Something else
Ask about Tony. Is he a chronic dick or is this a one-off?

If the former,
>Call the cops on him too. He seemed like the type to crack easily. He'll confess

Otherwise,

Let's not be blackmailers about this.

If we're going to invest in this, we're going to do everything we can to ensure its success. This isn't just Vance's feelings, this is business. Play to win.

Throw Delmer's ID down on Tony's counter.

>>Pay him a visit. Tell him to sell the diner at the original price and skip town

>>30883142
I'd be fine if it was for us, but I don't know how Vances parents would react to it though. They might strongly disapprove and wouldn't feel right buying it with a blackmailed discount.
They might also get extremely angry at him and feel like it's justified. I think it'd be better to ask Vance since he probably knows his parents better
>>
>>30883142
Yeah, anythign but blackmail.

"Sell fairly then GTFO forever" seems like the most morally sound option.
>>
>>30882658

pay him a visit, suggest a discount as he might find the money preferable to the diner due to a potential 'visit' from team imperial...

"It should be Vance's call," you say. Everyone looks to Vance.

"I don't know? It's a tough call." Vance looks emotionally exhausted. "What would you guys do?"

Nobody says anything, so you list some options for him. Call the cops, have Tony sell it at the original price, or force Tony to sell it at a discount.

Jeanine leans against his shoulder. "People rarely change Vance. I know he's a family friend, but we both know he has a bad history. Your dad could have been hurt."

"Let's pay Tony a visit. If money is so important to him, I want to hit him where it hurts." There's that anger again.

Your party heads to the diner. It's just about closed down. You volunteer to take care of this part, since Vance would be easily recognizable, Robin is too timid, and you're not sure about Jeanine.

Just like before, you wait out back. Tony seems paranoid now. He looks around out of the back exit before trying to quietly sneak out. You're not an amateur though. You stay hidden, then get up behind him before he's able to leave the alley. You take out Devon.

"You again! I told you I didn't squeal!"

You ignore him. "Shut up and listen. You need to leave town. Sell the diner quickly and cheaply. You had a buyer lined up before. Give them a call."

"W-Why should I?" He's not big on losing money.

You've had enough of this today. You push him against the wall, just like before. Devon lets an Ember glow in his mouth. "Because if you don't you'll either have to deal with the cops, or with us."

Tony gulps. "Alright. I'll take care of it. This place is too much hassle anyway."

"It's done. He'll sell it to your parents. Cheaply."

Vance looks conflicted. "I guess that's it then. I feel dirty about this, but at the same time, if anyone deserves it, it's Tony."

The four of you return to Vance's parents. You tell them all the relavent details, but skip over the more incriminating parts. His parents wait until the very end before commenting.

"...and that's what happened," you finish.

They're shocked. "I can't believe it."

Loraine gives you a hug, but her look is harsh. "Honey. We appreciate what you did, but you could have been hurt. You can't mix with these sorts of people."

Giorgio has his arms folded. "It was a brave and stupid thing you did. I don't know how I feel about this."

Jeanine steps forward. "I know you're worried about this, but none of us will ever do anything like that again. We can't change what happened, but it worked out for the best, didn't it?"

His parents come around. "I suppose..." Giorgio looks at you. "Kat, are you alright with investing the rest with us? It's an awful lot." You nod. He thinks for a good long while.

Jeanine chimes in again. "How many employees do you have?"

Giorgio waves his hands. "Alright. Alright. You sold me. Kat, welcome aboard. You're now the third largest shareholder. I'll take care of the paperwork." He shakes your hand.

His mother just gives you another hug, and looks to Vance. "You need to keep your girlfriends out of trouble."

"Mooom!"

The six of your sit down to dinner and hash out the details. Vance's mom takes out the scented candles you brought, Robin plays an innocent but noticeable amount of footsie with you, and Jeanine finds a few excused to lean into Vance. After all the business details are taken care of, his parents start telling you childhood stories and showing you pictures of Vance as a baby.

It's one of the best meals you've ever had.

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

You ask Vance's parents about his sister.

His mom answers first. "Oh Clair? We're so proud of our little girl. She's the leader of her own gym you know. I guess as trainers you'll be battling her. How exciting! Don't let her silent treatment get to you. She just doesn't like to talk much. The curse of being a genius I suppose."

Vance rolls his eyes. He must have heard this a thousand times before.

"I've even heard that she's next in line to be in the Elite Four. She's denied it, but I know she can't talk about those things." Giorgio beams with pride. He gestures to a wall of her awards. "I have no idea what we did so right with her."

Vance is practically hitting his head on the table. "So! I think it's about bed time." He gives a long, exaggerated yawn.

You look at Robin. That sounds good to you. You wanted to mention something first though. You tell Giorgio about Mr. O'Tellier in Aquapolis. "Really? Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt to give him a call, get a feel for the man. Who knows?"

The four of you get ready for bed. Vance's room is across the hall from the guest room, and his parents are across the house. They go into the guest room first to make sure you won't need anything else.

You and Robin take the bunk bed, while Jeanine takes the large one. It makes sense, since she's the tallest.

Nobody seems to be sleeping though. Everyone is still a little worked up after the day's events.

The three of you lay in bed.

"Jeanine, why don't you go say goodnight to Vance?"

She stares at the ceiling. "Won't it be weird if it's just me?"

"You're old friends. Didn't you used to have sleepovers? Just go talk to him."

Jeanine keeps staring up at the ceiling. "Alright. I'll do it." She gets up to change back into something less showy. You didn't notice it in the tent since she was already under the covers, but her sleepwear is pretty revealing. Maybe it's just that her body looks unrealistically good in anything.

"wait, don't change. Keep what you're wearing."

Jeanine laughs. "No way. If I know on his door in the middle of the night wearing this, it's way too obvious."

You give her a look. "It's Vance. You can't be too obvious."

You all share a giggle. It's neat having girl friends like this. "What should I say?"

Robin pipes up. "Oh! Tell him you had a nightmare!"

Jeanine rejects that idea. "Why would I leave this room to tell him that?"

"Tell vance that Robin and I are going at it like Nidorans." You climb down into Robin's bunk as you say that.

Jeanine giggles again. "Alright. That sounds good." Robin blushes profusely as you wrap your arms around her from behind. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck!~" You and Robin whisper as Jeanine tip toes out of the room.

Your full attention turns to Robin. You kiss up her neck and whisper into her ear. "Should I put on the lingerie?"

Robin turns even more red. She's putty in your hands as run your hands over her. "Oh-OK. B-but we're taking it slow, remember?"

"Sure," you respond as you slowly change into it in front of her. "I'll go nice and slow..."

That's all for tonight folks. Have a good one. Drop me a line or leave any comments. As per usual, next thread will most likely be Wednesday.

What was your line of employment again, Gobble?
