Blue meandered her way towards the site of the facility she was expected to infiltrate with Jiggly at her side. She made a point of staying out of sight from anyone in the building, taking only a peak at the entrance from a stragetic location on top of a nearby building to get a look at what kind of security it had before retreating out of view. Blue glanced to Jiggly, smirking slightly.

"Looks like we've got a job. Won't be as easy as tricking people out of their pocket change, but I think we can handle it~"

Jiggly puffed up a bit and blew on Blue's face in response, causing the girl to giggle quietly in amusement. "Hey. Time to get serious~" Blue protested, still whispering. She would reach over and gently squish the puffball pokemon. They weren't on a strict timelimit, so taking a brief moment to play with her pokemon probably wouldn't ammount to anything consequential. After taking a moment to give Jiggly a hug to settle the playful pokemon down, Blue would began planning her entrance. Thankfully, she wasn't wounded and didn't have to worry about any cuties being in any danger this time around. Hopefully that meant her mission would just be a matter of patience.

The initial taste in guards kind of would give the impression the place she was breaking into was some kind of sunglasses convention. There was a mouse with sunglasses and quite a few bombs beside him standing outside the front door. Standing on the other side was a blue creature that looked similar to a Yoshi. There was a few differences other than the sunglasses but the resemblance was uncanny.

"Hey, would ya stop stealing from the cookie stash, Boshi!"

"I dunno what ya talkin' about."

"Yeah right ya don't know. You have been eating more than your fair share."

"... Just doing my job and keeping watch. Suggest you do the same."

"... Whatever." It would seem the two were not on the best of terms. There was also a large fence that led towards their back... There was sniper towers however so that may be a risky path. There were also second floor and third floor windows, but it might be hard getting to them.

 

Ready?

START!

[Mari]

As Blue listened in on the conversation she began to guide her ditto, Ditty along her arm, spreading the pokemon thin and whispering to it of her devious, genius plan for how they were goign to get inside. After a little bit of 'makeup', Blue was ready to infiltrate. The sound of somewhat large approaching footsteps would be heard from the group, and when they inevitably checked to see who was coming...

"...There better be cookies left for me."

Bully!Blue waddled up to the group, looking all intimidating and bully-like. She glanced between them with that signature resting angry face bullies were known for. "Nothing steams me up more than being left out of a cookie party. I might just need to SLAM somsone!" she went on, feigning anger. She hesitated a moment, glancing betwixt the group expectantly. She had deliberately acted in an obnoxious manner with the explicit purpose of confusing them. That was only the first part of her plan. After the moment passed, she would bounce on her feet impatiently. "Well what're you waiting for?! Do I look like I have freakin' hands to you?! Open the dang door! Don't you know how to treat a lady?!" Blue went on to demand, flailing as if she were about to lose her cool and start flipping out.

[Coolshaymin]

The Boshi and Mowser looked at the disguised Blue as she came up to them. The sunglasses definitely did give her a sense of belonging here. Though the fact she brought up the cookies did seem to worry the Boshi a bit more than it should of. They just looked at eachother nervously as he brought up the cookie party.

They did give a bit of a jump though as she ordered them to open the door for her. "Right away, sir, uh, I mean ma'am!" Mowser said as he opened the door for Blue. Boshi waited for her to enter before speaking. "... That was a girl?" Boshi questioned in confusement.

After successfully tricking the guards, a large dark grey room was what greeted her. The infiltration was already off to a good start it would appear. The first room had a staircase to an upper area of the room. There was a lot of doors around this place. There was a door on the left side of the room labeled "Lower Levels", a door on the right side labeled Labs, one to the opposite end that was big and opened like a hangar called Weapon Storage. The second floor also had some doors but Blue would have to go up there to discover what the labels said. There were guards all over the place but they ignored Blue since she seemed like one of them.

... Well, except for one. A man in a red suit walked over to Bully!Blue and looked at her. He had orange sunglasses, fire resembling hair, orange sunglasses and a genuninely fabulous appearance. A member of Team Flare is who decided to make contact. "You are late for work. And being late is a low show of appeal. Head to the lower levels with the other Bullies! I will ignore your tardiness this time. Consider it a gracious offer," The Team Flare Grunt ordered Blue.

[Mari]

Blue hesitated a moment. This guy seemed to look down on her current form. Giving him sass was probably a bad idea. Luckily, she wasn't a real bully and could change her attitude on a whim. She'd have to sell it though, so that it didn't seem like too radical of a change. Blue mumbled. "...Thanks baws. Will do." she would reply, feigning resigned indignance like a good subserviant bully. "Hey. The men out front are hoarding a secret stash of cookies for themselves. I had to go yell at them to get them to come open the door for me so I could get in." Blue complained irritably. Sorry friendos, but she needed this man distracted. Seeing as how he was a manager, Blue assumed he would probably want to check on his employees.

XhwuIyF9p_1d20+7 (Blue's trick)

She would wait a moment for the Flare member to stop speaking to her or turn his back before going on her way towards the lower levels... except she didn't stop at that left door. Blue would keep on moving at a steady pace, as if she'd just accidentally passed the right door on the off-chance someone caught her, before abruptly bouncing up the stairs. Blue had a feeling that any secret plans The moment Blue was out of sight on that stairwell, she quickly changed her disguise.

...To that of the Team Flare manager.

She had a feeling a bully might not be so easily accepted on the upper floor, and if the working class was on the lower floor that meant the upper class probably resided up there. It was as good a place as any to try and find some sensitive data files. ...Though she had to admit, compressing her flattering figure into this tacky outfit didn't suit her well. Oh well, a bit of discomfort was worth the safety.1d20+7

[Coolshaymin]

"That blue Yoshi is messing with the cookies again?! He really has to learn stealing that food is not fashionable. Thanks for the report. I will talk to them immediately," The Team Flare member stated. He seemed completely fooled by Blue's acting as he headed outside. This gave her the time she needed to sneak upstairs. There was three doors on this floor as well. The one on the left had the label "Data Center", the door on the northern wall was big like the one downstairs and had the title "Main Halls" and the one on the right side of the room had the label of "Dangerous Specimens".

It looks like she will have to choose a place to go. However, a noticeable thing was all the doors on this floor had Keycard Locks... Figures they would be using the high tech approach to locking people out. A lot of the guards here looked like goons for the most part. They probably had nothing on them that really mattered much.

That is until a Koopaling walked out of the Dangerous Specimens Labs. The Koopaling looked around a bit until he noticed Blue disguised as the Team Flare Member. "Hey! You! I need someone to help me with a little... Experiment. You look smart enough to help me out! Come with me for a moment! It won't take too long!" The deranged koopa said with a bit of mad laughter at the end. It would seem he was even higher rank than Blue's disguise was. However, though he seemed crazy, he also seemed really difficult to convince due to his intense intellect.

Iggy Koopa

(Roll a 18 or higher to trick Iggy)

[Mari]

Blue turned to look at Iggy, peering at the koopa from behind her stylish shades. Did he not know the flare's name or something? Huh. Maybe that meant her voice wouldn't give her away. When Blue spoke she attempted to imitate a man's voice. It didn't really work all that well, given how feminine her voice was, but she was able to pull off something that might pass for an ill male's voice. She made a point of speaking softly and clearing her throat to sell this approach. With any luck, she wouldn't even need to explain her voice. He'd just hear how irritated her throat sounded and assume she was ill.

"Sure thing. I've gotta find some seriously uncool little thieves that've been stealing from the fridge after you're done, though." Blue replied. With any luck, Iggy would tell her to deal with the petty thieves first--or perhaps her apparent illness would disqualify her from whatever test he had in mind. Frankly, she doubted that trying to blow Iggy off would go well, and so she submitted to whatever he had in mind. Couldn't be that bad, right? She just had to hope she sold herself well enough. As long as she wasn't found out, a little delay in her plans wasn't consequential.

[Coolshaymin]

"Huh? Your voice sounds a bit funny..." Iggy said as he got a bit closer as if to inspect the situation. "You feeling sick today? Oh well, I am sure it will just add more variables for the test!" Iggy declared. It would seem her voice was enough to throw him off if only barely. He was more of a mechanical genius than he was a doctor.

"Right, right! It will be over in no time! You will can catch the thieves when we are done! Maybe you will even have more success afterwards! Follow me!" Iggy said before pretty much running back to the door he came through. He did check behind him every once in a while to make sure Blue was following so she did not really have a chance to make off.

He took out a lime green card and swiped it through the card scanner to the Dangerous Specimens section of the building. "Right this way! It is a bit of a walk to it. Ignore the beasts behind the glass. I would even feel bad for whoever let the creatures out!" Iggy instructed with a crazed laugh ending his comment.

The Dangerous Specimens door led to a hallway that was lined with glass walls. It is safe to assume these were actually more structually sound than glass though given they seemed to be keeping the monsters in. One of the monsters resembled a Yoshi but it was extremely large with black and red eyes and purple and green body. Another was a strange creature that seemed blind but it's tongue and claws looked deadly. One appeared to be completely empty except there was some strange sounds coming from it... And then there was one with a... Skitty? That was a weird Pokemon to find in the same context as everything else in here.

[Mari]

Blue cleared her throat again, grimacing. She would wave a hand about idly as she spoke, making a point to imitate what she thought the flare grunt might act like. "Yeah... My only consolation is that I look more stylish than I sound." Blue would remark in a rather blase tone, combining indignance with apathy. Though her voice was odd, it wouldn't matter if she nailed the personality. She couldn't help but stop when she saw that skitty behind the glass though, if only for a moment. "Speaking of stylish, that skitty looks pretty radicool. What's wrong with it?" she wound up asking, more out of her own curiosity than anything else. She was dutifully following along, not even looking for an opportunity to escape. Surely she wasn't in any danger, right? She was disguised as a manager, someone who ... probably wasn't easily replaceable. Surely as long as they believed she was who she said she was, she'd be okay. Right?

[Coolshaymin]

Iggy lead Blue onwards, seemingly falling for her facade. He did give a look to the Skitty though as it was brought up. "That Skitty may look cute but I would not get too close. That Skitty is unusually violent for some reason. Two troops walking out on patrol and it just jumped them and scratched the face of the other pretty badly. Not to mention various other things it did. The guy was frightened of pink things for quite a while after that. It was the talk of the facility for a long while," Iggy said with a somewhat cruel laugh... But this time he stopped as he neared the door with his name next to it and his laugh cut off as he realized something.

".... Wait a second... I think I remember seeing you here before that happened... How would you not of heard about it? I find it pretty hard to believe you just happened to miss it with how talked about it was," Iggy said with a look and tone that showed he was starting to get suspicious. It would seem Blue's ignorance has made Iggy somewhat alert now.

[Mari]

Blue raised a brow at Iggy's remark, giving him an incredulous look. She couldn't help but smile at the description of the incident. Hah! Get clawed, nerds. "Can you blame me for thinking these goons were making it up~?" Blue replied, smooth as butter. She'd taken note that Iggy hadn't specified that she had 'been' there, only that she would have 'heard' about it. It was an important distinction. The most important part of her act was, of course, her non-chalant and careless demeanor. If Iggy sensed she was nervous, that would be the real nail in her coffin--or rather disguise. "It wouldn't be the first time they tried to play a 'prank' on me." Blue continued, making quotation marks in the air with her hands. "...And yet that thing is still the jankest story I've ever heard. Kind of surprised to see the skitty is real." she continued, turning to glance at the cat pokemon for one more moment. She shook her head in disbelief, even though she was restraining the urge to giggle on the inside.

[Coolshaymin]

Iggy seemed to lighten up as Blue gave the excuse it was not real. The Koopaling gave a laugh as Blue finished her acting skills and all suspicion in his movements seemed gone now. "That is a good point now that you mention. Probably would of not believed it myself if I was not so close to it. Alright, enough of that Skitty distraction. The thing I need your help with is in this room," Iggy instructed as he opened the door to his room, leaving the sleeping Skitty out of mind. Was kind of hard to believe that feline was actually violent.

Iggy locks the door once they are both through. In the opposite corner of the room was a large cage with a sleeping Chain Chomp inside. "Okay, all you have to do is give the Chain Chomp this bone! It is a Dry Bones bone I scientifically enhanced. Can't tell you what I enhanced it with because it is a surprise! Give the Chain Chomp the bone in case something... Unexpected happens," Iggy instructs as he unlocks the cage door and opens it for Blue before pulling out the Dry Bones bone.

[Mari]

Blue flinched at the sight of the chain chomp. Good grief! That thing hat teeth like a darmanitan! She desperately didn't want to get chewed on right now, so she'd just have to hope there was a very good reason Iggy had asked her, or rather the manager she was masquerading as, to do this. She swore, if she got bitten that doctor was going to pay with his shell. Damn eccentric doctors and their... weirdly deadly pets! Blue pursed her lips in response to the request, but took the bone. Time for another act, this time more for the terror-pooch huddled up in the corner over there rather than Iggy.

"Haha--What, you're scared of this big baby?" Blue asked light-heartedly. "Alright. Let's get this over with." she would go on to relent, clearing her throat as she took the bone. Blue walked into the cage and stood at the opposite end. She pursed her lips together and began to whistle several times in rapid succession to attract the chopm's attention. "Here chompy! Here! Papa's got a treat for you; yes he does!" Blue babbled at the chomp, wiggling the dry bones about to draw the chomp's attention to them, hopefully keeping it from focusing too much on her. Blue would wait for the chomp to notice and begin moving towards her before casually performing an underhanded toss to the chomp, tossing the dry bones to it's side to steal it's attention.

5PbI5bXFp_1d20+7 (Blue's puppy entertaining skills)

Blue would then make a point of attempting to back out of the cage after she finished, not wanting to test her luck.1d20+7

[Coolshaymin]

Iggy merely gave a laugh in response to Blue's statement. He did not actually give a remark though as she interacted with the Chomp. The Chain Chomp merely watched the disguised woman at first before noticing the bone. The Chain Chomp definitely seemed more interested in the bone than it did Blue. The Chain Chomp jumped the bone as Blue threw it.

... However, if Blue looked behind her, she would notice the cage door is still shut. "I tame Chain Chomps all the time. I am the best there is at making them loyal pets... As a result I know better than to experiment on them with my own hands. I need someone a bit more... disposable to do it in my stead. As a result, you are going to be the one that handles the Chomp if the bone has some undesired side effects. As soon as I am sure it is safe, then you may come out," Iggy explained as it seemed he was the one that tricked Blue... Even if he was not aware she was actually an intruder.

The Chain Chomp looked up as it finished chewing on the bone. It gave a little shake as if something was very wrong with it from that bone. A bright glow came off the Chain Chomp as something seemed to come over it. The sheen stopped over time but there was no longer a Chain Chomp there... Instead... There was a Fearrow.



The Koopaling in response gave a gleeful laugh at the result. "My transformation potion maker is a success!... Now I just need to make one to turn the Chain Chomp back..." Iggy stated as he realized he did not think it fully through.

[Mari]

Blue folded her arms and emitted an irritated sigh as she found herself locked in the cage. Figures. She would crouch down, watching the fearow carefully from the other side of the cage. What were the odds it was pissed off? Probably high. What were the odds it wnted anything to do with Blue? Probably low. What were the odds it understood how to use it's new body? ...Maybe? Blue didn't really understand the mad scientist schtick. "...I sure hope that potion is worth the trouble." she remarked lamely, finding no difficulty feigning mild annoyance at Iggy's betrayal. Man, you just couldn't trust villains these days. Jerks. For now, Blue was trying very hard to minimize her presence in the cage. Thankfully, her shades were hiding the fear in her eyes. Man, screw giant birds. Why couldn't it have been anything else? Also luckily, her fear of birds wasn't as strong as it used to be.
