Camphor's Lab -> Camphor Pokemon Habitat [hr] Remi blinked, then just laughed as Victor ran off. He didn't have a whole lot of time to really respond much, but one thing was certain. He was determined to turn victor into a lover of coffee. So Remi would just watch with some amusement as he'd bounce around the room...eventually heading over towards Risette - who merely blinked and laughed lightly as Melissa bounced off. "Ahahaha, righto, you're just a bundle of energy then huh." Risette merely offered a small, bemused smile as Melissa bounced off. Scarlett turned her head towards Risette with an inquiring look. "When the professor gets here, you stay here. Dont want any accidents, got it?" The white haired woman would say, walking over to the redhead. "...and behave yourself. I dont wanna come back and find all the coffee or snacks eaten or something." Scarlett snorted, but gave a thumbs up just as Victor would waltz over. Risette stared at him for a few seconds, and Scarlett gave him a wolfish, full toothed grin. "Victor, huh? I'm Risette. That's Scarlett. Don't mind her, she can't speak." Risette, fixed her gaze on the boy, smirking lightly. "We're both from Giervor and uh, yeah, I guess you could say some interesting stuff happens there. Lotsa rain, maybe a vigilante or two...oh, and the archeological society if you like dusty rocks." As an avid lover of dusty rocks, she probably came off a bit harsher than she intended. Whenever they would make their way over to Nevine and Laurel, though, as the two were situated next to each other, Nevine merely gave Victor a disinterested glance. She didn't seem to mind the cuddle pile on her back. If anything, she'd stretch and let out a yawn at the same time her slakoth would. "Slaaaa..." "Vuuul." "Sprrrrri!" The three seemed to welcome the Budew. Remi's Vulpix sniffed the budew curiously, while Verdue would playfully bat at the other pokemon. "You know, staring is rude, Victor." Laurel responded with a displeased sounding, though casual somewhat familiar tone. She'd take the final sip of her tea and place the cup on the table in front of her. "Hm...you know, you're not quite what I expected. Someone a bit more...hm, with a bit more presence." But the time for socializing was cut short. A pair of double doors behind the reception area would slide apart, and out would walk Frieda with [url=https://i.imgur.com/qNnNM9b.jpg]a distinctly...disheveled looking shorter woman. No taller than five feet, her Lab coat was hanging half off one of her shoulders, and her short red hair had been tied up in a loose, messy fashion. To say nothing of the fact she was wearing basically nothing under the labcoat, it seemed like, and she was wearing comfortable looking slip on shoes and sweatpants.[/url] She definitely wasn't trying as far as appearance wise goes, but the slight scowl and the bags under her eyes meant commenting on it would probably get someone a scathing remark themselves. "Uhm, alright, if I can have everyones attention! Professor Camphor, everyone. Everyone, Professor Camphor." "Hmm..." The redhead would scan the room, the grumpy expression unreadable otherwise. "Well, looks like everyone is here. Good. I'm glad I wasnt wasting my time." She'd pull a small clipboard from somewhere in her labcoat and flip through the papers on it. "I'll keep this brief. I'm busy and I dont have time to play around, so we'll get this whole thing underway immediately...that said, Its good to finally meet you all in person." Camphor stuffed the clipboard back to wherever she had pulled it from in her labcoat. "So first things first, follow me into the lab. I'm taking you to your partners. Couple of rules. One - Don't wander off. The lab has some pokemon being rehabilitated to be released into the wild or other reasons. They can be a little...irritable sometimes. Two. Dont. Touch. Anything." She'd make a point to glare lightly at Melissa before turning back to the group as a whole. "Three. Save questions for the end. Four...if you need help finding your partner...don't ask me. Use your head. Oh, and if you do wander off...well, if Nix finds you, he will not be as kind as I am." Pix, chuckled atop Frieda’s head. “Pix seeing them getting beaten up would not be funny!” “Imp.” The impdimp apparently refuted. “...it would be kind of funny.” “Professor, this is why he’s a troublemaker!” Nevine, Svein, Laurel, and Remi, you four wait here. Everyone else, follow me to the habitat." She'd ignore Frieda's protests as she'd motion for everyone to follow her through the double doors and deeper into the lab proper. They’d immediately be met with a hallway that split off into two directions. Emblazoned on the wall in giant red letter was a big ‘Floor G. Next to that, a small sign read ‘Bio labs’, ‘Chemical Labs’, and ‘Generator/Storage’ was to the left. Habitat A, Simulation Room, and a Server room were to the right, the direction they were heading in. An elevator at the end of the hallway that required some sort of keycard to access was inaccessible for now. The group of trainers would be led down a series of hallways, past various labs. This place was much bigger than it looked on the outside, it seemed - but eventually they would see why. They’d soon come to what seemed to be some sort of enclosed observation deck that was labeled Habitat A. Walls made of glass overlooked the area below - what could be equated to a small island inside of the building. A small forested area, large pond with a sandy beach with a small river that would eventually flow through a small rocky area before it would flow into an encircling what seemed to be salt water pool. “Welcome to the Habitat A.” Camphor said, pulling everyone into an elevator. “We use it to see how different pokemon adapt to different environments in real time and we have, well, an easy enough time making variations to it if we need to. Helps gather hands-on data the simulator doesn’t quite let us and also help to rehab injured or pokemon that might have trouble adjusting to the wild. Now, that aside…there’s something I’d like you all to do here.” She’d say, as the open elevator reached the bottom of the habitat. “Those of you that don’t have your partner already…well, they’re in here. Go find them. Thats right - your first pokemon being caught will be here. You either chose or I assigned you one when you wrote your application so use your head, figure out where they're at and bring them back.” As the elevator would reach the proper habitat area, the doors would open into an open area with a few computers and what seemed to be monitoring equipment, a metal bridge would connect it to the 'island' across the little pool of salt water surrounding it. Frieda would hand everyone a pokeball. “Don’t worry, they’re all fairly friendly, and...well, take as long as you need. I cleared out my schedule for you guys, so take full advantage of it. For those of you who came with your partner already, mind if I see them? Plenty of room to let them stretch their legs. Ah, one more thing. And Hazel, if you would - Frieda will take you to an Impidimp.” [hr] [center][img]https://i.ibb.co/y2mR2Wj/Risette-Kihlberg-card-2026-07-02-T16-40-25-218-Z.png[/img][/center] [center][hider=Detailed Info] [u]Pokémon[/u] N/A [u]Money[/u] 000.001.000P [u]Shoulder bag[/u] [hider=Medicines] [quote]Potion [x1] [/quote] [/hider] [hider=Key Items] Motorcycle key Various hair products High quality Pokemon hair brush Sunglasses [/hider] [/hider][/center]
