Habitat A
@Savo@Renose

---

Well, it looked like a lab. That was about the only thought Risette really had about the labs interior. Nothing surprising or particularly interesting. Even the Habitat they were led too was about what she expected really, though it was certainly impressive. She kept mostly to herself, peering at the other trainers occasionally from over the rim of her sunglasses quietly assessing them. Nobody particularly interesting still, really, though as the professor finished her speech the kid that looked scared out of his mind decided now was a good time to speak up.

About the cup he bought with him.

Risette raised an eyebrow, a light scoff coming from her as he stumbled over his words. Scared and shy, eh? She wasn't intending to do or say anything. The kid obviously had something wrong with him, but she wasn't really feeling like being in some kind of babysitting mood. He'd have to sink or swim, and she was completely fine to let him be...but some purple haired bully decided that he wanted to interject.

Lucky him Scarlett wasn't here.

"And what about you, you morose looking Skuntank? Couldn't leave that toxic attitude of yours at the table? Or has nobody ever told you that you're personality is worse than a muks' smell?" Risette walked over to the pair, but before she could say anything else, a certain professor loudly cleared her throat, glaring at the trio lightly.

"Any fighting, and you all will be kicked out and fired."

"...you heard her, get lost purple. I ain't afraid of getting fired if you wanna have a go at it. Not that you look like you'd be much of a fight." Whatever rebuff he'd have for her, Risette didn't care nor was listening. She'd merely cast a glance to Ryuuichi, peering at him from over the rim of her sunglasses as Yuu would head off, before she'd give him a gentle pat on the head, turn, and leave. "...stand up for yourself more, kid."

"Ryuuichi, right?" Camphor would approach quietly. "I'll take the glass. Do you need help navigating?" The professor would ask, studying the boy quietly. "I'd recommend searching somewhere quiet and away from people for your particular pokemon - the forest, specifically."

And thus, Risette would leave, too heading out into the habitat. She knew what she was looking for, and she knew just where abouts to find it. So she'd trek along the shores of the artificial island, taking note of a few sea dwelling pokemon splashing about in the pool as she'd reach the beach. Her pokemon would either be somewhere with a lot of sand - a beach potentially - or more likely a desert or rocky area, and as expected, after a few minutes of walking about the shore, there was no sign of a little crocodile pokemon so Risette headed inland, following the river, crossing with a little hop and soon finding herself at a small passage between two rocks leading into the more rocky, arid area of the habitat.

And standing between the passage, was exactly what she was looking for.

"Dile."

"Ah."

The sandile was standing firm in the middle of the passage, glaring at anyone that had walked by and snapping its jaws a bit aggressively.

"Hmm..." Risette didn't say anything. She didn't have to say anything. Partners, of course, could understand each other without needing words. "...heh, alright little guy, I get it. There's a toll, huh?" Risette would reach into her jacket, pulling out a spare set of sunglasses. The Sandile would lock eyes with the eyewear, tail flicking back and forth eagerly. "Hey, hey, good taste, but I can't just give these to anyone. Only the coolest can wear these."

"Dile!" The sandile noded, as if saying he was indeed, the coolest.

"I dunno. You look awfully shrimpy." Risette would kneel in front of the pokemon, smiling in a slightly teasing manner. "Look, you're so tiny. I could pick you up and yeet you halfway across the habitat."

"Diiiiile!" The pokemon dug its claws into the hard earth, stamping a little claw, refuting such a statement.

"Hm...hm...alright. Alright. I can see it, your eagerness and blazing spirit ahaha!" Risette grinned, and proceeded to place the sunglasses on the sandiles snout. "Welcome to the team, little guy! And you're named Dusty from here on out, yeah?" She'd reach for the pokeball the professor had given her, pressing it to the sandiles snout.

"...whew." Risette smiled, holding the pokeball in her palm. "Ahaha...here we go then. First step done...just you wait dad, I'll be kicking your ass and proving you wrong soon - bweh?"

"Diiiile!"

"...why are you up there?" Suddenly Dusty was now sitting on her head, tail draped over the back of her head, little claws holding into her hair.

"San."

"...ahahah, fine, fine, you're right we look super cool like this."

Camphor's Lab -> Camphor Pokemon Habitat

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 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.

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.”

"?!?!" Scarlett immediately started running her hands through her hair, the tangled mess of scarlet color proving a little...well, tangled. It took a few seconds, but eventually she would wrap her hands around the caterpie in question, pull it from her hair. The bug pokemon stared at her with indifference.

"...grrrr...." Scarlet narrowed her eyes, a displeased sound coming from her throat as she'd glare at it, mouth forming into a scowl.

"Piiiii...." The caterpie started wiggling wildly as Scarlet held it by its tail, the pokemon thrashing around, eventually wiggling out of Scarlets grip, smacking her in the face with its tail causing her to drop it, and end up with a slight red mark on her cheek.

"Bwahahaha." Risette simply laughed at her friends predicament. "I think it likes you. Maybe you should take it home with ya?" Scarlet responded merely by batting Risette lightly on her shoulder before snorting and strutting inside. "Next time I see ya Tuule, I'll be taking that badge from you." She'd offer the gym leader a confident grin, and after making sure her sunglasses were adjusted properly, headed inside the lab as well.

...just in time to see a blond offer to smooch the lab assistant.

"Uhm...snog...?" Frieda blinked, a faint bit of color coming onto her cheeks. "Uhm...I-I'm flattered Tilly, but I dont think thats very appropriate. And uhm, if you could refrain from calling Camphor gran that would...really, really, make all of our lives easier." Before Frieda or Tilly could really respond properly, Pix, who had apparently heard what was being said, bolted back over, sign in hand.

"IMPIDIMP." and proceeded to smack Tilly a few times with the sign, standing between her and Frieda.

"...Pix did you just call the professor gran?"

"Impy." A nod.

"Okay, okay...uhm...just dont call her that to her face unless you want to be put you in timeout for a week..." Frieda held a hand to the bridge of her nose, exhaling a mildly frustrated breath. The impidimp seemed entirely unbothered by this threat.

"Lively place." Risette whistled, looking over everyone present. No one really still stuck out to her as interesting, but with a group like this it would at least be amusing to maybe travel with someone. Still...a lot of people for her. Crowds were only good for two things. Being the center of attention in, or blending into the background so nobody bothered you. In this situation, she'd honestly have preferred the latter.

Ugh, should have come early and just got in and got out before everyone got here.

"Alright...want some coffee or anything, Scarlett?" The other woman shook her head, though she eyed one of the vending machines curiously. "Suit yourself. Lets see..." Some hoity toity Rossaden type - ew - she'd have to remember to do something to whatever makeup she was using later. The girl that mentioned the caterpie, a boy who looked scared out of his mind, some zigzagoon, and...and extremely bouncy gal with an Azurill? Yeah, most people here were extremely unmentionable right now. "You got coffee in your blood or something? Or is all that bouncing just meant to be annoying?"

Scarlett yawned, found an empty chair and draped herself over it, legs hanging off the side, and back against the arm rest in a slightly irreverent manner.

"Nyeheheh." Remi smugly grinned at the compliment to the coffee. "Your welcome. Unlike these heathens, you have good taste huh? Good coffee takes a good trained hand. One of these days I'ma open my own coffee shop or something, hm?" Before he could elaborate further though, there it was! A call for another cup of coffee! He'd ignore all the naysayers about tea and move to grab two more cups of coffee, pouring a fresh batch from the pot and bringing it over to Victor.

"Here ya go. Victor was it? Remi Forde, nice to meet'cha." Vulpix had enough of playing with Verdue it seemed and the two pokemon were now using Nevine as a bed. She didn't seem to mind and looked to be asleep herself. "And...uh...one for you-"

"I do believe she said she'd prefer Tea, Mr. Forde." Laurely commented from the side.

"Well I don't have tea Little miss Bougie baby!" Remi responded with an irritated huff. "Or what...you gonna share yours?"

"Ahem-" Laurel coughed lightly, cheeks flushing a little red. "W-well I mean, this is high quality stuff and I only have a limited amount until I get back to Rossaden..." She glanced to the side, fumbling over her words lightly. "And w-well, they'd have to brew it themselves..."

"...okay, ahem, if I may have everyone's attention for a moment!" Frieda would shout above the crowd. "Since everyone's here, I'll go see if the professor is ready so we can get everyone on their way. I'll be back in a few minutes, hopefully."

Bjyerlfal City || Route 2 => Camphor's Lab || Morning
_{Make reality your dream}

Vrroooom

A pleasant morning on route 2. The winding seaside path was sandwiched between the western fjords and the winding wood. A travel path for most trainers on their way on Giervor through Route 5 as their first gym battle, or on their way back to Byjerlfal to make it their final stop on the journey. It was a popular spot for even non-trainers due to the sandy beaches beneath the cliffs at low tides, relatively temperate climate, and typically friendly wild pokemon.

Usually, it was a relatively peaceful place.

Usually.

"Told you we were gonna be late, but noooo, someone had to stop to ogle the fancy cakes!" A horn from another vehicle honked as she zoomed around it, completely ignoring the speed limits and likely breaking a number of other laws in the process.

"..." The only response she would get from the companion sitting on the back of the motorcycle, was a silent shrug and a small tap on her shoulder.

"You're gonna get fat if you keep eating that much." An eye roll and a humph was the only response she received. "Whatever-hold on that’s a cop..."

"...!?"

A yelp was the only thing Scarlett could respond with as the vehicle veered off to the left, barreling across the road, through incoming traffic and right into the winding woods just as the police sirens started...

It wouldn't be until Frieda arrived at the lab would she start answering everyone's questions in earnest. She'd turn to face Toshi with a warm smile.

"Lets see...uhm, well, Route one and route two are popular areas for beginners. Route two takes a seaside route next to the ocean and cliffs, and it has direct access to the Winding Wood - though I wouldn't recommend going there to start with." Pix would free itself from Freida's arms and hop onto the floor.

"Black? Wow, strong." Remi Interjected. "Hmhm, coming riiiight up!" He'd bounce over to the lounge, take the coffee pot from its brewing station and pour a cup straight out of the pot. No cream, sugar, or anything.

"Ahem...right. There's also a cave there not really marked on most maps there. Its only accessible at low tide, but you could find some interesting pokemon there. As for Route one, its mostly light pine and temperate forests. Plenty of pokemon and beginner trainers can be found there, and it connects to Pines End. A cozy little village - it has a shrine there to some ancient pokemon, if you're interested." She offered a friendly smile as Remi bounced back over.

"Here ya go! Black as Laurels soul." He handed the mug to Toshi. "So, whats your name, newbie?"

"Alternatively...honestly?" Frieda continued as Pix ran off. "You could probably find plenty of pokemon in Byjerlfal as well. Lots of ghost types can be encountered in the city at night, and there are plenty of parks that the city built to help with wild pokemon that live in urban areas."

Outside Camphor's Lab
@Savo@Xaltwind@Floofenstein@Crusader Lord

"See! We made it! Told you we could lose them in the winding wood!"

"....!" There was a light smack to the back of her head.

"Your hair is fine! No worse then it usually looks." She rolled her eyes, the motorcycle zooming down through the busy Bjyerlfal city streets, weaving between cars, giving a few pedestrians heart attacks. "Sides, we also totally made it now. Look! We got some newbies ahead!" She pulled back on the vehicle, the front tire raising from the ground.

The first thing the trainers arriving by boat would hear, was the harsh revving of an engine. A look in the direction of the sound soon revealed its source - a sleek, red seemingly heavily customized motorcycle doing a wheely heading straight past them at high speed, before its rider returned both wheels to the ground, tires screeching on the pavement as the vehicle was turned ninety degrees as it would slide to a halt, the smell of burning rubber and a bit of smoke coming from the tires.

"Humph," The owner would slowly remove the white colored helmet, shaking her head and causing a cascade of white hair to fall before she'd turn towards the gathered group, her hair flipping over her shoulder in the process. "So, these are some of the trainers Camphor hired, huh?" Her eyes narrowed, scanning the gathered trainers with obvious disdain. "You guys, look absolutely pathetic." She'd chuckle with a snort. "What about it, Scarlett? Any of these guys look interesting to you?"

The other person who had been sitting on the back of the motorcycle had shifted her position so she was sitting reverse, her back towards the handles and her legs kind of dangling over the other end. She tilted her head to the side, and proceeded to laugh, her messy red hair sporting a few leaves and sticks sticking out of it for some reason.

"....~"

"Pfft, right? Thought the same." The white haired woman would brusquely walk up to Tuule, ignoring everyone else. "Just in time, aren't we Tuule?" Scarlett would leap off of the back of the vehicle and walk up next to Risette, stuffing her hands in her pockets and giving the gathered trainers a disinterested, bored glare.

"Huh? Did I hear someone throw shade in my direction?" Valarie would pause a moment, eyes scanning the crowd and eventually landing on Stella. Her eyes narrowed, before her mouth started to turn into a toothy cheshire grin. "Heeey you, Missy with the ponyta-Ow hey that hurts!"

"Nuh-uh, not doing this. We have a show to get to and you are not causing problems." The suited woman had grabbed Valarie by the ear and was now pulling her away from the crowd in question.

"Ow hey-Im a girl be gentle with me!"

"Yeah yeah," The suited woman cleared her throat and addressed the crowd with a surprisingly loud voice. "Shows over folks! GO home! Valarie has a show now get lost and head to the contest hall if you want to see her!"

"Ta-ta my lovelies! I'll see you all at my show!" And with the final parting word, the two would disappear beyond a security door not too terribly far away much to the chagrin of a disappointed crowd...thankfully though, this would cause the throng of folks to start dispersing and making it easier for a certain lab assistant.

"Oof...!" Finally managing to push her way through the throng of Valarie's fans, would be a woman of about roughly average height, a darker, olive skin color tone and wearing a simple one piece dress with a comfortable looking jacket hanging around her shoulders, and long black colored hair tied back in a braid and hanging over her shoulder. An impidimp was sitting on her shoulders, holding up the sign and waving it excitedly back and forth that was honestly, far too fast to be read. "Oh dear if I knew today was going to be the same as the contest finals...ugh...weh!?"

She hadn't been looking where she had been going, almost face planting right into Toshi.

"Ah!? Mr. Toshi. Glad to see you made it. So terribly sorry about this crowd. Glad that the sign worked."

"Imp." The Impidimp in question looked at Toshi's offered hand, then up to Toshi's face....and proceeded to take the sign and whack him in the head with it.

"Wah Pix no!" Frieda took the Impidimp from her shoulder and held it against her stomach instead, wrapping her arms around it and giving him a small frown. "You know better then that!"

"Dimp."

"I dont care if the professor says you can! You can't while I'm here!"

"Impy."

"I'm sorry, Toshi, this little troublemaker has been picking up some bad habits." She offered Toshi a friendly smile, while the Impidimp made another whacking motion with the sign. "I didn't realize today was going to be the contest finals otherwise I would have made a different meeting spot...oh! Jack! Over here!" Frieda shouted. "Goodness glad I was able to see you...I sure hope this crowd thins out soon. Oh right, the little troublemaker is Pix. He's mine."

"Dimpyimp!" The impidimp would greet Jack with the same eager sign waving he had given earlier.

"Lets see...the others should hopefully be disembarking soon...ah! Victor! Over here Mr. Gallagher!" Frieda would give a small jump and an arm wave to get his attention. "Ah, and yes, hello Miss Gold. Im glad you made it. Todays been hectic enough without losing anyone...I think we're just waiting on Hazel and Miss Miharu - weh!? Pix!?"

Before Freida could stop the Impidimp he'd wiggle out of Freida's arms and run over to Hazel and Miharu, and proceed to the nervous girl and give her a little tap with the sign. Not the light whack he gave Toshi, but rather a small little bump just big enough to get her attention.

"Agh, sorry, the crowd has this little one worked up. Hope he didn't startle you."

"Impimp." He was soon returned to Frieda's arms as she'd offer Hazel a reassuring smile. "Well, glad to see both of you made it. Ahem, now that everyone is here." Frieda gave everyone a bow. "Frieda. Professor Camphor's lab assistant. I'm sure you're all tired from the flight but since everyone is already here, if you don't mind I'll go ahead and escort everyone to the lab...of course, I'll answer questions once we're there. Its not a long walk, just a few blocks."

Frieda would lead the group from the airport. The group of course, would be free to talk among themselves, or ask some questions as they walked. Yet, as they did walk, the city of Byerlfal came to life around them. Large billboards, screens advertising products of every kind. Pokemon shampoo, dresses, fashion items, the Resort - and a number were advertising the master rank contest taking place today. One particular one was showing an interview with a one David Mexatus, CEO of the Mexatus Corporation about the Nature Preserve he had built with the help of Camphor's lab.

This was to say nothing of the crowds, either. Busy streets packed with vehicles, people packed on the sidewalks. Businessmen, tourists. Little shops in the commercial district selling all kinds of things from more touristy trap areas to legitimate businesses. The deeper they went into the district though, away from the resort area the more calm things would get, until eventually the group would come upon a rather small and inconspicuous building. Well, as inconspicuous as a single story building could be, fenced off and surrounded by tall sky scrapers could be.

The only sign that it was a lab, was the large ‘Camphor Laboratories’ hanging right over the sliding glass doors that led inside. A small pond was in front with a decorative fountain, along with a small geometric sculpture and some benches. The building itself seemed more clinical in construction, square with pristinely clean white walls.

“Here we are.” Frieda said, turning to the group. “The labs exterior is a little...boring but Camphor thought it’d stop people from bothering her if it looked like this. The interior is a lot more cozy…well, aside from the labs. "Now, we're waiting from some out of region trainers from the docks to get here, but in the mean time you can all head inside and make yourselves comfortable."

Remi blinked.

"Ugh, come on! Laaaame! Seriously, no coffee?" He'd let out a slightly exasperated sigh as he was rejected for the third time. "Fine, fine, more for me. Ugh, the only person here who has any taste is Svein." He'd walk back over to the seating area, flopping down on one of the many chairs. An Alolan Vulpix had curled itself behind it, rather timidly peeking out from the seat in question.

"I would say its you and Svein that have no taste, Mr. Forde." Laurel responded giving him an amused side eye as she'd sip on her tea. Verdue had seemed to noticed the vulpix hiding. After a few seconds of rolling around, it would playfully pounce on the fox and start chasing it around Remi's chair.

"Nevvvy I'm being bullieeeed."

"...yes and?" The sleepy woman would yawn, giving Remi quite the uninterested look that kind of said 'you probably deserve it.'

"Ah, I've been abandoned, whatever will I do..." He'd give a non serious pout just as the sliding doors to the lab opened, Frieda walking in with the group of trainers from the airport. "Ah! They're here!" Remi, forgetting all about coffee, or being bullied, would leap up from his chair, the Alolan vulpix taking his place and playfully swatting at the Sprigatito chasing it. He practically bounced over to the group.

"Hey Frieda!" He'd greet cheerfully. "These the new guys?"

"Hello, Remi. Yes, just picked them up from the airport. Tuule should be arriving soon with everyone else." She'd turn to the prospective trainers. "Feel free to wait in the waiting area. We've got vending machines, snacks, coffee, tea. And if you need anything specific while we wait just let me know. If you can find an impidimp walking around they might be able to help too uh, if you don't mind a little mischief. I'll be just outside waiting on the others."

"The names Remi!" He'd introduce himself to everyone at once with a cheerful smile. "I just made some coffee if anyone wants some. Surprisingly high quality stuff! Not that anyone else here except Svein appreciates my coffee-making talents."

Camphor certainly hears it when they're in the same vicinity
