"Hey, this is Claude! Pretty sure I'm doing this correctly. You can leave me a message here, and I'll get to it as soon as I can. Talk to you soon~."

"If we're going to be laying things out on the table, theories is coy, isn't it?" Thace begins softly, "Given that you have had more than enough information to put two and two together since nearly Christmas."

Steven will wait until Claude takes a seat before he slides into the booth next to Thace. He sighs heavily. "Honestly, I'd rather just get it all over with anyway. Thace knew about stealing Christmas, because I told him that Team Rocket was going to go after... well, every single major shopping location in the two regions that night, honestly, but in particular the Goldenrod Christmas Market, because if we made a big show of attacking that one, we'd more easily get away with stealing more from all the others. And I knew that because I'm a ranking member of Team Rocket.

"I was press-ganged," he adds, spreading his hands out in front of him on the table. "As far as I know, all the otherworlders on the Team were. Instead of waking up with Fake Mom, we wake up in the Rocket dormitories and they put us through a week-long larceny boot camp before releasing us into the wilds of Goldenrod City. We have a biweekly quota we have to fill of stolen pokemon. In return we get room, board, medical care, all mission expenses paid, and a weekly stipend that increases with rank. And if we do extra missions, we get rewarded accordingly.

"And given that by the time they release us, we've already stolen pokemon in our training exercises? I think you can see why none of us bother to turn ourselves in to the Jennies."

Thace appreciates a fellow information-gatherer who does solid homework, so he just nods at first.

Finally he speaks. "Steven does so like to talk about me."

A kiss on Steven's cheek after he says it, but then he's more serious. "The changes I would like to see regarding Rocket's existence or operation may not be possible, but I would be interested in at least hearing about what you would do with that information if you acquired it."

Steven's face heats up. "Yeah, I've been told I talk too much about my boyfriends when I have them. And-- my exes, even when they're long gone. I'm trying to work on being less obnoxious about it."

He sighs and shoves a hand back through his hair, a nervous, impatient gesture. "He's told me about what he'd like to see from the Team and I really don't think the Admins would buy it, unfortunately--much less the Boss, who is basically incommunicado with most of us and probably actually missing. And even if I manage to squeeze one final promotion out, they don't let people like us be Admins. Alpha's the highest we can shoot for and we don't even have one of those anymore now that--" He catches himself, then shakes his head.

"It doesn't matter now. The point is, I'm one of the three highest ranked Rockets in our little community and there's not a lot I can do to alter how the Team works on a macro level. There's only so much I can do when it comes to my fellow press-ganged."
