[attr="class","longnotes"]this thread is intended to be a fast pace laid back posting spree. the recommended word count is like 200 - 300 max since it's just a social interaction scenario. there is no set posting order unless it suddenly finds itself needed, so you can pop in and out of this thread a lot.
A slow day at the office was rare, but that didn’t mean the agents didn’t know how to relax and have some fun for the mean time. With paperwork pretty much completed ahead of schedule – for once – and no pressing matters being sent to his unit, Engel opted to set up today to be more or less just bonding time with his unit. With recent issues with the weather acting up, Richissime still lingering in the minds of many… And the AC Unit deciding to not work on the floor Engel’s unit’s office was located on, it was a good day to just take a break. Taking over one of the underground training facility rooms, since the break room was victim to the broken AC as well, rather than racing around, fighting and training, it was more or less a laidback gathering. Some Pokémon were running around the wide open city-like underground constructs, while most of the agents had taken to sitting on various platforms and just chatting and relaxing this rare free day at the office. A few of the technicians had brought some of the funny new minor for-fun gadgets to show off and the agents were, as usual, all for helping testing this kind of stuff out.
Engel, for once, did not look like he was on the brink of exhaustion. In fact, he was rather vibrant today after returning from his recent typical couple of days off to start once more another long shift. Mostly observing his agents chatting amongst themselves and Pokémon playing around, it was a relaxing sight for him to say the least. Stepping from the entrance he’d been hovering beside for the past couple of minutes, Engel made his way into the training room and moved to sneak his way past his agents and up onto the highest tower the room had to offer. Taking a seat on the window seal, he adjusted the com device in his ear that’d signal if duty suddenly called, and simply settled in for observing the agents racing around. Like a bunch of kids on the playground, he almost wanted to suggest they play some games or something, but sitting around and taking advantage of the open space of the cool underground facilities was a nice change of pace from the typical hustle.

Rhafiel stared pointedly at Nyx, holding pieces of dried fish out to the feline. She sniffed at it a bit, looking up toward Rhafiel with big green eyes. Very slowly, she leaned forward, taking the piece gently before waving her tail back and forth happily. She munched quickly while Rhafiel looked around the room. He focused on mostly Nyx, trying to block out the multitude of aura around him in an effort to fight off a migraine. It wasn't like this many people would really cause him pain, but he had already been battling one for a day or two at this point.
Carefully, he tossed another piece of fish out to Nyx before he hobbled his way toward a box like structure. He sunk down with his cane in hand, sighing heavily. Nyx scampered toward him quickly, waving her tail a bit more and then looking up toward Engel with a mischevious smirk.
"Have at it," Rhafiel mused toward his Pokemon, watching her slink away slowly, sticking close to the shadows. Silent paws padded across the floor. She pulled herself up closer to Engel before proceeding to flop into his lap, stretching out and purring loudly as she lifted her head to press it against his chin.
Rhafiel chuckled from where he sat, finding the entire scene rather amusing.
Admittedly, tuning out from the world entirely in his current position was probably not the best idea. You see, Engel was a bit caught up in just watching the Agents run around that he hadn't been paying much mind to the idea of someone else entering the room. Figuring he had managed to avoid being spotted as he made his way through the facility, the idea of being followed or tracked down was the further thing from his mind.
However, it seems he had forgotten the one person that could undoubtedly track him to the end's of the earth. While it wouldn't be that person whom would pull Engel back down to Earth, it'd be that person's little ninja that would do it instead. As he shifted idly on the window's ledge to try and get comfortable in his precarious position, a mischievous cat would suddenly appear and just lazily flop on his lap. The sudden contact made him flinch, leaning further out the window to a point of almost falling, before he'd somehow catch himself and lean back in. Eyes wide with surprise and now his mind fully alert, he jerked his gaze down to find Nyx just casually stretching herself out on him.
His previous terrified expression slowly fell to a flat look at the cat as she made herself so comfortable and nuzzled his face. "... You or Rhaf are gonna be the death of me, I swear... Well, that is, if Ace doesn't somehow get me killed first" he grumbled, before taking to petting the cat and peering down through the hole Nyx most likely entered through in an attempt to spot Rhafiel. "A little warning before you unleash the ninja would be very much appreciated!" he jokingly called out as he scratched Nyx behind one of her ears.

Success. Nyx was getting all of the pets and attention and she loved it. Purring loudly, she pulled off of Engel's lap, perching herself carefully next to him. She looked a little apologetic for scaring him like she did, but at the same time, she had still gotten what she wanted.
Rhafiel crossed his arms over his chest, glancing idly around before smiling up at his boss and his Liepard. Nyx was rather fond of Engel, though she rarely showed it, so Rhafiel really didn't want to say or do anything about his Pokemon's behavior. It was nice to see the both of them so relaxed. The recent weather events hadn't helped anything at all, but things were finally starting to calm down and now Rhafiel was able to breathe a little easier.
He hummed to himself as he pushed back to his feet, grabbing his cane and navigating a bit so he could look up at Engel with an impish smile. "I hardly released anything, to be honest. It was all her idea," Rhafiel mused playfully, tapping his cane a bit. He'd resorted to using it again after he'd tweaked his knee practicing. Plus the recent weather hadn't been kind to his new joint. "It's nice to see you so relaxed, Engel. Maybe we should make you sleep every night if that's all that it takes."
With the loud purrs and clear contentness with herself, Engel - despite the fact he continued to pet her - was very done with this large cat on him. Staring at her flatly up until she'd finally slide off of him, the Commander sighed and didn't harbor on what could have just taken place. Instead, after noticing the slightly apologetic glance from the Liepard, Engel just shifted his sitting position to something a bit more secure and reached over to continue petting her. It was moments like this that Engel remembered this cat of Rhafiel's was quite fond of him, the rest of the time, he was sure she was plotting his downfall...
But then again, wasn't that just a thing for cats? One moment they love you, the next they're planning your demise. No, he wasn't going to go into a tangent in his mind about Ace and Eileen strongly believing in one of those moments over the other. Instead, his focus just shifted back to Rhafiel when the other finally fully emerged from where he'd been laying in wait as well.
It was her idea? Engel did not look amused at that, even less so with the remark about his sleep schedule. Scoffing and sitting up right, he remarked "This coming from a man who sleeps just about as much as I do? Heh, I should say the same to you. You seem to be in a good mood today, despite the fact I see you have the cane, again." He gave a slight frown at the sight of his friend once more with cane in hand. "You either are just too attached to that thing to let it go, or you got a bit over eager when you got the all clear to start training again, didn't you?" he questioned teasingly, pressing off of his seat finally to make his way towards the hole. Glancing over at Nyx in a silent invite for her to follow, he'd smoothly drop down the hole he'd been using to look at Rhafiel so he'd land carefully in front of the senior agent with ease.

Rhafiel didn't mind the dig at his own sleep schedule. He'd started it, after all. What kind of man would be if he couldn't take what he had dished himself. Chuckling lightly, he rubbed at the back of his neck, tapping his cane against the floor while he waited for Engel and his Pokemon to join him on solid ground once more. He glanced down at his cane, feeling a bit of resentment toward the object. He'd pushed himself a little too hard in training. He couldn't really lie about that. He needed to ease himself back into his work, as much as he just wanted to dive headfirst.
Nyx, once she'd dropped from the hole, bounced behind Rhafiel, standing up on her hind legs and putting her paws over his shoulders. She nudged the back of his head affectionately before resting her chin on top of his head. He had forgotten that when she stood on two paws, she was quite a bit taller than he was. The fact that she could do this almost made tears sting in his eyes. He remembered when she had been such a tiny little thing who could just ride on his shoulders. Sometimes he still found himself looking for the small form of a Purrloin, though he always found the lithe, strong body of the Liepard. He did like her better this way.
Reaching up, he put one of his hands on her paw, staring at Engel, "I'd be a liar if I tried to fight that statement. I probably sleep a little less than you do, to be honest." He chuckled a bit again, lifting an eyebrow, "Yes. I pushed myself a little too hard when I started back into training. I'm taking physical therapy now, though, so it shouldn't be long until I'm in peak condition again. Then I can give you a run for your money, you big giraffe." No. He wasn't going to apologize. This man was, honestly, his friend first and his boss second. He enjoyed their banter quite a bit to watch his mouth.

[attr="class","ebold"]Her computer closet had betrayed her and turned into an oven, and then the bullpen had betrayed her by being all but deserted, and then Engel's office had betrayed her by not holding a certain Majestic Zebstrika within. Even the candy in her Designated Drawer was getting a bit melty thanks to the Great Air Conditioning Disaster, and unfortunately Interpol Wizen didn't have a popsicle vendor in the lobby. She would have to remedy that somehow. But in the meantime, with this line of disappointments behind her, the overheated hacker migrated down to the training area.
Laptop bag on her shoulder, Eileen milled around a bit looking for familiar faces, but not even Ace immediately revealed himself at the moment. The rest of the lot didn't consist of anyone she felt like approaching, either, at least not when she was hot and sweets-deprived. While enough time had passed that she was starting to get used to the new setting and the new collection of people, jumping in to random chats with acquaintances was still a couple of light years off the Eileen Paulsen meter of okay things. Inevitably she ended up off to the side of the room, sitting against the wall with her cell phone out.
Googling pictures of ice cream probably wasn't the best idea to start things off. Setting several of said pictures to cycle through as her phone wallpaper was probably ill-advised too. Well, she knew where she was headed after work.
Bad decisions all taken care of, she texted Engel.
