RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Xenoic - 06-23-2017

*Xenoic thinks over the possible questions to ask and decided on the order and complexity while drinking the Gourmet Espresso*

Xenoic says, "I am going to start off with the simpler questions, why do you refer to yourself as "we" and why do you consistently incorporate pokemon-related puns? If you don't want to answer, I will respect your privacy. I just wish to better understand my "co-workers" so that I may not accidentally step on their toes."

Steepling their gloved hands for a moment, they slowly unscrewed the cap of there thermos, and began to pour themselves a cup of joe. "Ah, the royal we usage. Truth be told, its an old habit we-I developed when I used to be part of Lady Hinata and Lord Kaito court in Tsukinami. I developed somewhat of a reputation with the ninja clans, so we started using this pronoun convention as a way to convey our status and importance. If need be, we can call upon their power to provide safeharbor for us, but that is a last resort," Tianlong said, drinking his coffee without even lifting their mask. Stranger still, they didn't causes a mess in the slightest fashion.

"As for the jokes...well, those are just for pun. If my play on words makes you Golum, however, I won't Pressure you with my brand of humor. "

Xenoic pauses for a second then responds, "I can appreciate the creativity required to come up with such puns which in other words means do not stop making them. I have been in Tsukinami a few times and especially during the nuclear crisis for some business. They are quite the isolationists but are respectable people. I had done some trade deals with them in the past and I have chatted with a few. Their neutrality makes them a viable place to be due to my career path."

*Xenoic finished his espresso and puts the cup to the side*

"I suppose I should get straight to the point, I want to know the details of what you require my assistance for in this "delicate" matter of yours?"

Tianlong was silent for the longest time, their mask facing the door of the helicopters as they stared, blankly. Finally, they let out a long, tired sigh, and turned to face Xenoic. Reaching into his cowl, he retrieved a small photo graph, and handed it to the criminal geneticist. It simply depicted a shiny Luxelong, looking quite frail and ill. It was hooked up to a variety of machine, all of which purpose seemed to be to keep the unlucky dragon alive.

"A man of priorities, one not to Chatter or raise an Uproar at my evasiveness. Very well, I'll be direct to you: I need your skills to help genetically engineer my Luxelong. As you can see by the picture, she is currently in a state of extreme duress and illness, and this is due to a rare degenerative condition that affects the line. Her biochemistry is slowly spiraling out of control, organs shutting down and necrotizing, her muscular deteriorating, bones weakening....plainly put, my Luxelong is dying. Standard drug treatment and what qualifies as 'gene therapy' won't suffice, and her condition is past the point of my current resources can account for.

"For now, I can keep her stable, and her higher brain functions intact, but I don't know who long this uneasy equilibrium will last. That brings us to our partnership, Xenoic. Out of all the geneticists I know, you are the only one both skilled, knowledgeable, and capable enough to be able to preform the job I want. Your distinct lack of moral fiber and bold cleverness also made you an appealing, and as it turns out, wise choice. What I want you do is exceedingly complex, yet simple in its demand: transform my dragon into a human form. From what I know, the disease only affects Pokémon in general, so by converting her DNA into human or semi-human, the degenerative disease will cease to be an issue, and she can live a long, if vastly different life. Still, better be in a new body, rather than dying in her old one."

"So, are you able to fulfill my task for me?"


RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Dragonstrike - 06-23-2017

It didn't take long for Agent Dragonstrike to prepare once he'd typed up the report. What took him awhile was finding what might suffice as a secure location to type up and send the encrypted message...find one, he did, though. He had learned a few tricks from all his years on the streets, after all.

He'd be a fool to pass up on this opportunity for information, but he'd also be foolish if he didn't prepare for the worst. He had several...safety measures in place, just in case.

As he approaches the restaurant mentioned in the letter, dressed in his usual black attire (complete with a trench coat and fedora), he reviews a few things in his head...

'Giovanni's Bistro...a backwater restaurant on a backwater street in a backwater town...it looks nice enough considering the area it's in, but with a name like that, it makes ya wonder what's really going on in there...what worries me more is the letter's mention of Chief Ranger Phantom...I thought I recognized her, but that confirmed it...why did The Cookie Thief claim to be engaged to her though? I would have thought she would have put down a criminal of that caliber lickety split...this case just gets stranger and stranger...if this thief is so willing to provide answers though, maybe that will clear up at least some of this murk I've somehow found myself thrown face first into...'

Absol is lurking in the shadows with him. If this Cookie Thief really does know he's here, then it's only a matter of time before he shows up...and Absol is ready to use Night Slash at a moments notice if it's anything less than welcoming.


RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Lord Windos - 06-23-2017

*An arm is slung across Dragonstrike shoulder, and the Cookie's Thief face soon loomed in front of his*

Salutation, my heroic rival! Glad you accepted my invitation, though I didn't think you would bring company.

*Turns his head and nods into the darkened allyway, clearly aware of the Absol's presence*

Pokémon are welcome here, however, so no need for your canine friend to lurk in the shadows! Let's all go in now!

*Quickly ushers them into the surprisingly bustling restaurant, and finds them an empty booth table to sit at*

*Waves a waiter over* Garcon! A Ham and Swiss Cheese for me, aju sauce, no onions. As for my drink, a glass of you house specialty red wine, if you would. What will you and your Absol be having, my friend? All expenses are covered, so please, indulge yourself!


RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Dragonstrike - 06-23-2017

Well, that was startling.

The agent doesn't lose his cool though. He'd expected an entrance like that from this Cookie Thief, considering his ability to seemingly meld into the shadows and teleport seemingly at will. At least he hadn't ambushed him with something more...lethal.

Looking around the restaurant, there's Team Rocket propaganda everywhere on the walls. He didn't like the look of this place...

"Guess I'll have the same. Except for the wine. An ice cold water will do just fine. Absol will have a water too."

'Better to let him do the talking for now.'

*Gives them a grin, then snaps his finger, sending the waiter scurrying to fulfill their orders*

Don't mind the décor of the place, its just the theme this bistro has chosen. The owner was a former member of that old team, and decided to apply his experience in the group to faithfully recreate the feel of the Casino in Celadon City.

*The waiter returns with their drinks, handing a chilled bucket of wine with a glass to the Thief, and the glasses of water to Dragonstrike and Absol, before rushing off once more*

*Uncorks the bottle, and pours himself a glass* Turns out the marketing was quite successful, since punks and burly man like the idea of dining with true criminals and thieve such as myself. This place also functions as neutral grounds of sorts, so as long as we don't cause a scene here, all will be fine in the world. So relax, and tell me what on your mind.

*Takes a sip of their wine, savoring the taste with eyes closed, before staring back at them*

How about I break the ice? Your report on our recent encounter was quite interesting. A bit dry when it came to the finer details of our battle, but you did a excellent job painting the overall picture of our meeting. Perhaps add a little more flair to your writing style in the future; it'll certainly capture the imagination of your supervisor!


RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Dragonstrike - 06-23-2017

Dragonstrike just has a bored look on his face. "And what report would you be talking about, hm?"

He clearly had connections if he managed to intercept and decode an encrypted message that had been sent via a personal device with all the latest security measures. Good thing the agent had kept the details to a minimum. Normally, he'd write in much more detail, but there was no need to alarm Interpol about the Chief Ranger's involvement with this...man? Criminal? Practical ghost? Too many words could be used to describe him...the message also had no indication of who it had been sent to, other than the word 'Boss.' He'd be very impressed if this thief had enough scraps to put together everything. Smarter men had tried, and all had failed. If the encryption didn't stop them, the vague nature of the reports usually did.


RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Lord Windos - 06-23-2017

*The Cookie Thief rolled his eyes, and let out a theatrical sigh, taking another sip of his wine*

The one you took such time and care to type up and send, before your arrival here. Honestly, such evasiveness, while befitting of a man your occupation, is needless here. You left out quite a lot of detail, mainly about my engagement with Chief Phantom.

*The Thief inclines their head towards Dragonstrike*

Thank you for your desecration, by the way. If Interpol found out about my relationship with her, well, I would certainly have my work cut out for me! Conducting purge operations and stealing information from them is always a nice change challenge, but not one I need right now. Wedding first, bamboozling the international police second.

*Makes a flourish with his wine glass, as if to impress the man in front of them*

Your 'Boss', as you called him, is a nice person, if a little to dedicated to their work. Given what they been through, and the several times I put them through the ringer myself, they really should consider retiring by now. Though, since they have sent you on my trail, perhaps they are giving some thought to the idea. What's your opinion?
