Pestilent and Persistent Pests | Event: Pest Removal | Nixie

[Malachi Sandor Kahan]

Malachi had a number of issues going on. Granted, he was always angry, he seemed especially on the irritable side as he stood a little bit aways from the water, sure not to get his self prematurely wet before he got the entire suit on and sealed. Said dry suit was half off of him, the top part hung around his waist, the arms tucked easily along the sides of him. He stood bare chested, bandages and bruises lining his arms and torso. He was annoyed, and not quite ready to put anymore pressure onto the bite marks on his back and left fore arm. They were pretty well healed, and what stitches he did need were minimal... still couldn't get wet though. That just pissed him off a little bit more. He had an incredibly high pain tolerance, but this was still something that could be felt if someone fucked with it, so he waited. Nixie should be somewhere around, not that far away from him, she was always around and he had just up and taken to calling her his "handler" as a joke. But there wasn't much joking on his end right now. He was also stressed, on top of all this. He had a few more things to set up on his body and well.... there were valid concerns that he could contract ROT his self, meaning that when he hit the waters, he'd have to be extra careful in handling any situation that may arise. And this was his first field mission with said person, and this was a person he couldn't really attack, but he was prone to lashing out. The researchers all knew his attitude before and after the 'change'. So, dry and irritable, Malachi squeezed the fingers of each hand, looking down at the bruises along one of the hand's knuckles from where he punched the hell out of a crate and that damned Huntail. He just waited, now, eyes following his Qwilfish move through the water, eggs sitting in the sand next to him, two of them moving quite a bit while one just sat there like a damned sea shell. lv 5 Carvanha, lv 10 Tentacool, (Omanyte Egg 9/15 will hatch into team at lv 5), lv 6 Seel, lv 6 Lapras, lv 5 Qwilfish Lv.

[Nixie Ran]

His “handler”, as he so put it, had been doing a perimeter check of the entrance points to this stretch of beach and coastline. Nixie had to issue a few official Plasma warnings to beach goers who had chosen to disregard the precaution of the safer at home order and instead opted for thinking they could get away with taking a dip in the waves. One or two of them may have thrown a fit, spouting conspiracy theories about ROT being nothing more than a scare tactic to control the population during this turbulent time within the region of Anrui. One may have even called her a raging leaky cunt, but he’d been easily dispatched by a very dissatisfied Oona that threatened to wash the measly bastard into a riptide. The vaporeon sharing an attitude trait with her trainer for not putting up with dumb-ass bullshit like ignorant civilians. He’d been issued an official ticket and fine with the threat of arrest and 5 years in prison if he didn’t get off the beach and away from the area riddled with infected pokemon. That whole situation had taken longer than anticipated and she was eager to make it back to her rendezvous point where she had told Malachi she would meet back with him ten minutes earlier. She made on less check at her entry points on her way back to the beach. Nixie was satisfied for this check that she had cleared the immediate vicinity of any trespassers, she knew Malachi was in a particularly testy mood and rightly so. Pair his potential to lash out with the infected wild fauna and she really wanted to avoid putting him through the fallout of a such an instance. Last thing he needed was more isolation and lockdown just as he was paired with a “glorified babysitter” that had his personal well being in mind. It hadn’t taken some work but not too long for her to present a socialization plan and behavioral rehabilitation that was designed to have them loosen their reigns and get him out of isolation. Malachi would have picked up on her scent returning sometime ago, much before he would see her blackened outline as she came up over a dune. She wore her wet suit, being the one uninjured she was ready to deal with any water based threats, her mask at the ready within easy reach if she needed. Her navy blue hair was bound up in a slicked back and wet ponytail and any tattoos she had were not visible to his eyes thanks to the suit she wore. “Our sector is clear of civilians,” she confirmed formally to him setting her pack down and beginning to make her own nest for the eggs she carried a safe distance from him so that any of the young wouldn’t inadvertently rile him. Again, precautions for his benefit, they both knew the realities and she didn’t sugarcoat it for him. “Had some prick go on a tirade and almost landed himself in a squad car.” She settled Dhelmise egg that shuddered from time to time near the front where she could see it, propping it up against Squirtle and Mantyke eggs she had brought along. She stood up adjusting the bands on some of her gear and looked out the open waters. There were worse gigs they could have gotten, at least they had their home ground to work with as ocean adepts. “Any issues while I was gone?” Team: Oona-Vaporeon lvl15, Tao-Poliwag lvl8, Enoby-frillish lvl15, Poseidon-Shellos lvl21 (+1lvl for starting post = 22), Enki-slowpoke lvl6, Dhelmise egg will hatch into team at lvl5 12/15

Malachi had been entranced watching his Qwilfish swim about, her pink scales glittering when she surfaced. Glittering to him, at least. The skies had some clouds in them, and an occasional shadow passed over. He was sick of the light. He'd love to be in his dark tank once again. He smelled Nixie approaching though, and closed his eyes with a heavy sigh through his nose. Two of the eggs bounced against one of his calves, while the other still sat uselessly. "Checks the fuck out." He muttered in response to the tirade. Eyes still closed, head tilted back with his hair pulled in a bun to keep it out of the way, Malachi pulled the sleeves out of his dry suit, grimacing when his angry jerk torqued his arm the wrong way, feeling a jarring sting in the stitch. "Ugh. Where's my adrenaline when I need it." He muttered, beginning to dress and prep, checking all the parts of the dry suit before looking to nixie, pushing some of his loose hair up, grinning sarcastically. "Paint me like one of your Kalosian Sharpedos." He snorted quickly after saying it though, letting his face fall back to flat. Well... he tried to be funny but failed to amuse his self with that shitty joke. Even his Qwilfish had stopped swimming to shoot him a look. "Shut the hell up. Go back to swimming." He shot towards Gluke in a sharp tone, watching her inflate and go back to what she was doing. "Suits on. The perimeter is clear and I haven't seen any ships while standing here like a jackass." He crossed his arms gingerly, making sure the injured one was on top. Maybe if something happened that kicked his instincts into high gear, he could do things without feeling the reminder that, he could have died again. Except this time, in the dark depths of the ocean with an over-sized Huntail. Frowning, he realized that he had stared off for a second, so he acted natural and rolled his head towards Nixie, eyes still out on the rolling waves. "So we look for Pokemon... and we look for Resistance. Sounds good but..." He signed through his nose and he would have reached up to squeeze it but he learned very quickly after his changing that he fucking detested having his nose pinched. Pet his nose though, and he was putty in your lap... and he couldn't tell you why. "But here's the issue. If Resistance is working in the water, then that means they likely have boats somewhere. A form of back up sitting around. You never dive alone. We both know this." Malachi dove alone all the time, but there were very obvious reasons as to why he was safe. But when anyone else was doing any sort of business in the water, they'd likely go in pairs, or even a group of three. He watched Nixie with his odd, white-blue eyes, waiting to see if she would have an opinion to drop on his grouchy ass.

Nixie quirked a bemused brow at Malachi just as he snapped at his Qwilfish. The image of him standing there striking a pose was certainly an impressive sight, however, she was a professional. “Keep striking a pose like that and you will have the entire bays worth of sharpedo’s just waiting for you to take them.” She smirked subtly with a shake of her head and pulled out her communicator and began the process of linking up to her watch and Bluetooth earpiece. The dhelmise egg shuddered violently making a rattle against the other eggs and Nixie made to scoop the energetic soon to be hatchling up and settled down a foot from her little nest with the other two eggs resting easy. They seemed none the worse for wear, but Oona investigated them with a curious sniff before taking up a watchful pose in the empty space where Rasulka’s egg once sat before becoming nestled in Nixie’s thighs. “Well, that’s good news,” Nixie mused looking up at Malachi from where she sat, the wind blowing a strand of hair into her face before she huffed it away “even if you are standing here like a jackass…” she mused squinting at the tiny light on her earpiece to see if it flashed on. Once she was satisfied with said piece being turned on and connected, she slid the waterproof device into her ear and secured it firmly. She nodded rather sternly with his assessment “That’s a possibility, I did try explaining that to the dispatcher…sounds like they have water patrols out there in the likely event of the Resistance making a move.” She raised her eyes to look at him, watching for a reaction as she pulled the band on her wrist to tighten her comm.

Malachi shuddered for just a second, shaking his head free of the mental image of him having to deal with one too many Sharpedo. "Eh. No thanks." And that was enough to get him to behave his self, as well as finally solidify the thoughts scolding him in his head to never, ever, do that again. Bad joke. Bad shark. Bad. Looking back to his Qwilfish, he watched as Gluke slowly wound circles in the water, waiting ever so patiently for him to get his ass into that water and get to work but... sucks to be Gluke. They still had to wait some. He turned to his own eggs, two of them much more active than the third, but still kind of sluggish. He knew what was in these eggs, that much was obvious, and he was half excited, half dreading it. He always liked Omastar, so call him an odd one out, he was excited for that baby to hatch. As for Magikarp, they had a tendency to annoy him up until they evolved, and Blastoise was a reliable Pokemon that could go into lakes with him. It was a mix of emotions but his face stayed irritated as Gluke spit water into the air to grab his attention. "So do you want to set up somewhere on the beach and continue waiting for them to show face? Or do you want me to take to the water." He grumbled the last bit out, slightly annoyed that he had to ask anyone for permission to hit the water, but this wasn't a "just him" mission. There would be no dragging wild Pokemon around and fighting them with his actual teeth and fists.
