[center][h1][color=007236][b]The Outsiders[/b][/color][/h1][/center] [u][h3][color=82ca9d]Bartholomew[/color]/[color=6ecff6]Myles[/color][/h3][/u] Myles jolted up from where he previously sat, suddenly filling with rushing energy and a very queasy stomach. He started coughing profusely, shifting his face away from Bartholomew, sitting leisurely on the other side of the wooden table. Under a large oak tree taking advantage of the shade. Myles rushed himself to a nearby drinking fountain, starting to gulp water just to swish it quickly in his mouth then spitting it out. Myles letting out a mild groan, rubbing his temples as his head to alleviate the pain caused by his headache that was pounding like a bongo drum. Using the water, which happened to be rather cold, splashing it across his face. Standing their silently, starting to regret his decision, pulling out a silver coin flipping it and smacking down his hand. Revealing the tails side up just staring at the coin momentarily. Turning around quickly feeling the back of his shirt being gently tugged seeing a young girl looking up to him with a smile. [color=grey]“Are you alright mister?”[/color] The young girl asked with in a gentle and innocent tone of voice. He smiled back at her and patted her head which made her giggle. [color=6ecff6]“Of course, little boy I'm doing perfectly fine.”[/color] He replied leaving and sitting back down, as the girl pouted some. [color=6ecff6]“Were you trying to poison me?”[/color] Myles complained. [color=6ecff6]“What the hell even was that?”[/color] Myles questioned as Bartholomew just gave him an effeminate laugh. [color=82ca9d]“Certainly not, if I wanted you dead, we wouldn't be surrounded be in a public park surrounded by possible witnesses.”[/color] He replied in a tone that Myles couldn't quite place if it was fully sarcastic or not. [color=82ca9d]“That was simply, an extremely caffeinated coffee drink. Always helped me when I was hungover, even acknowledging that I'm aware that coffee doesn't scientifically have any benefit and it's merely a placebo effect.”[/color] He continued. [color=6ecff6]“Well, I don't like coffee. It tastes rancid, one of the things me and my mom actually have in common.”[/color] Myles interjected looking as a couple of children ran past seemingly chasing one another, laughing with their Pokemon. [color=6ecff6]“When I was a kid, when others were chasing me around. Laughter wasn't the first thing that comes to mind.”[/color] Myles muttered to himself seeming to stare at them. As Bartholomew covered a soft sneeze into his handkerchief, wiping his nose. [i][color=82ca9d]“Lots of pollen in the air today...”[/color][/i] He thought to himself barely listening to whatever he was going on about. Watching his colleague seemingly have a flashback. [color=82ca9d]“Anyway, let's get back to business. Your finally sober enough right? If not I can try giving you slap across your face.”[/color] He stated slightly louder to grab his attention. [color=6ecff6]“Yeah.”[/color] Myles replied looking at him straight in the eyes. [color=6ecff6]“I'm sorry for missing the meeting today. I promise it won't happen again and you have no idea how much I appreciate what you've done for me.”[/color] Myles said rubbing the back of his head. [color=82ca9d]“I never meant to order anyone around, I've said since the very beginning when he all founded this together, that we we're equal. I won't do anything if you break that promise, other than be disappointed.”[/color] He commented. Myles looked down and nodded his head. [color=6ecff6]“I like the plan just fine. But why did you pair Charlotte and Elle together?”[/color] Myles questioned. [color=82ca9d]“What's wrong with that?”[/color] He asked shifting his position, leaning forward. [color=6ecff6]“Well, I mean...they really don't seem to get along.”[/color] Myles replied quietly. Bartholomew simply crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders. [color=82ca9d] “Oh, really? I didn't notice.”[/color] He replied as a sudden gentle breeze blew past them both. [i][color=82ca9d]“Nor, do I honestly care.”[/color][/i] He thought standing himself upright before starting to walk away. [color=82ca9d]“Come, walk with me.”[/color] He added as Myles stood up and started to follow beside him, accepting his offer, deciding to drop the subject. [color=6ecff6]“Hey, wanna hear a really good bug joke-”[/color] Myles started to ask. [color=82ca9d]“No.”[/color] Bartholomew quickly interrupted. [u][h3][color=f7976a]Elle[/color]/[color=a187be]Charlotte[/color][/h3][/u] Elle was sitting on the grass leaning against the tree, glaring at Charlotte who was playing hide and seek with her Pichu and other young kids and their pokemon. Charlotte running around with a joyful expression, with Pichu hopping into her arms as she started playfully spinning holding her with outstretched arms as it squeaked happily. Waving goodbye to the several children that got called over by their parents, as she started to head over. Elle rolled her eyes some seeing her behavior, just staring up at her as Charlotte stood directly in front of her standing on the tip of her toes, with a smile while holding her Pichu in her arms. [color=f7976a]“Could you act any more like a child?”[/color] Elle sneered, just standing herself up. The Pichu stuck her tongue out as Charlotte watched Elle turning her head seemingly fed up. Trying to ignore her quickly walking past, purposely clashing shoulders while continuing to walk away. Charlotte turned around and promptly followed her. Elle just needed to anywhere but there, grinding her teeth as she could hear Charlotte's humming behind her, turning around clenching her fists. [color=f7976a]“Stop following me!”[/color] Elle shouts as Charlotte stopped humming as the Pichu gave Elle a mild growl. Charlotte's smile remained on her face. [color=a187be]“What's the problem with having a little fun every now and then? You don't always have to act so disgruntled, we're on the same team aren't we?”[/color] Charlotte questioned as Elle shook her head taking a moment to look around seeing nobody around them then turned her head to spit. [color=f7976a]“You really don't belong here, your immature and I find you insufferable. You treat pokemon like their something more than tools to be used, which only further shows your naivety. Why did he have to suggest we work together?” [/color] Elle retorted in a harsh tone. Charlotte just silently listened putting Pichu back inside her pokeball as she starting to get restless, squirming in her arms likely to give Elle a shock. [color=a187be]“Please don't-”[/color] Charlotte quietly protested. [color=f7976a]“Why should I listen to somebody that's probably never even faced any hardship?” [/color]Elle snapped back to drown out her words, smirking seeing Charlotte's smile being wiped off her face.[color=f7976a] “Why should I take you seriously?”[/color] Elle continued to criticize. Charlotte put her hands in her pockets looking down not answering her. Elle scoffed and started to walk away once again, while Charlotte clenched one of her pokeballs and took it out of her pocket. [color=a187be]“Hey.”[/color] Charlotte calls out which causes Elle to annoyingly turn her head. Noticing the pokeball in her hand, causing her to turn around, fully aware she was about to be challenged.[color=a187be] “I'll show you exactly what happens when I'm serious.”[/color] She adds in probably the coldest tone Elle had ever heard come out of her mouth. Sending out one of her pokemon, an Arcanine, letting out a thunderous howling as it stands directly in front of her, stomping his front paws upon the ground. The look in his eyes while going into an aggressive stance made it clear that it was very eager to battle. Elle remained where she stood, not threatened by how large he was, pulling out a pokeball of her own. [color=f7976a]“I never deny a challenge, but I can tell you right now. I never lose.”[/color] Elle commented with a smirk equally ready to fight. [i][color=f7976a]“And I don't plan on starting now. I'll prove that you're nothing more than a pretty face.”[/color][/i] She thought to herself. [hr] [center][hider=Bartholomew's Pokemon/Inventory] Pokemon: ??? Inventory: Cellphone Handkerchief ???
