[So here is Ray, sitting on a bed in the Rocket HQ--for those who have seen it, otherwise it looks like just a bedroom--with a crying Cubone. For those also in the base, her door's open because like hell she's going to keep herself locked up while being this confused. But for now, the pokémon. She's bouncing it in her arms, but it really isn't working seeing as this little thing is certainly too confused and upset to quiet down. But of course, Ray can multitask. Seeing as the Cubone's volume is a little too high to be heard, she just holds up a finger and ends the feed.

Not even a moment later, she's back, and while the crying is still there, it's quieter. She's standing, with the Cubone on the bed behind her, her hand gently patting its back as it sobs into her pillow.]

Alright, I'm not sure who gave me a crying dinosaur but how long am I supposed to babysit him? I've actually got plans, so whoever drugged my coffee and brought me here, I'm going to need to take a raincheck.

I actually need to find my husband right now. His name is Charles Beams. He's tall, mussy brown hair, really broad shoulders and he usually never buttons his shirts all the way. [She giggles a little, but soon turns away and frowns a little at the Gear.] Oh, I hope he's alright. I doubt we've been apart for long but... I do need to find him. Well, if anyone does hear from him, please tell him that Ray--[and with this, she points to herself]--is trying to find him.

But in the meantime, does anyone know how to quiet this precious little thing? Who does he belong to?

They're meant to be trained. In this place, everyone battles with Pokémon. Some just for fun and some for the sake of protecting themselves.

As for why we're here. I suppose it's just for that purpose... if you started in the normal place, that is.

Trained, huh...

The normal place? Where would that be? And does that mean where I've arrived isn't the normal place?

The normal place would be New Bark Town. From what I can see, you seem to be in the same kind of a place I started in months ago, which is in Goldenrod City.

You should have received a letter, if that is the case.

A letter... Let me see.

[She was so distracted by the crying Cubone that she hadn't really checked anything else out. Once she finds it, she quickly opens and reads it, then turns back to the gear.]

Team... Rocket? Creative.

[He hates to be right, sometimes.]

It's a ridiculous name, but a bad organization. You could say that we're the villains of this story.

Villains!?

[She stares at the letter again, rereading it once or twice before glancing back at the gear.]

Out of one hell and into another, it seems... So, what's the task for this group? Lying, cheating, and killing?

[Ren looks a bit surprise at her saying something like that, but he manages to get over it pretty quickly. Johto is full of surprising things after all, he's somewhat used to it.]

Well, I can see the lying and cheating part... but so far most of the tasks include stealing Pokémon. [He thinks for a while, before adding.] And someone blew up a lighthouse, so I wouldn't completely cancel out the killing part.

[There's a sigh of relief--but the look morphs into one of sudden shock as she realizes something. She's quick to subdue it, but she finds herself frowning nonetheless.]

Hopefully there's some sort of payment involved. I don't do this sort of work for free, they ought to know.

[That's a change in attitude. Ren frowns.]

We do get paid once a week. Though if you don't steal Pokémon often enough that might change.

[Payment once a week, and, from what it seems, a free roof over her head... She doesn't like the sound of it, but this place seems to have more resources than roaming on the streets for a few weeks.

With a soft sigh, she just shakes her head, offering a small smile.]

Thank you for telling me all of this, young man. You're a real gem.

It's no problem. [Well, at least he gave her a warning, if nothing else.]

You seem awfully calm about all of this.

[What a sweet, sweet young man. At the inquiry, she just smiles and shrugs her shoulders.]

Well, panicking isn't my style, and so long as I can find Charles, I don't mind having to stay here for a while. This Team Rocket business is a little tricky, but... it's not like its the first time I've had to deal with tricky business.

[There are several things he could ask or say at this point... but instead he'll smile politely. It's not his business to ask too much, after all.]

I hope you find your husband here, madam. Many people haven't found those they care about in this world, but there have been those who are lucky.

Thank you, darling. I'll keep my fingers crossed; I can't lose him again...

[She looks away again, but only a second passes before she perks up again.]

Oh honey, mind if I get your name? You've been a lifesaver, I should be able to thank you properly.

Ah, forgive me for being rude and not introducing myself earlier. [Where are his manners, really.] I'm Ren Jinguji. It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Beams.
