sayitwithpocky | 'Cause I need a break, I need a vacation

[The first thing Clarissa realises upon stumbling out of Veilstone City's airport and into the face-slappingly frigid air, is that she definitely hadn't prepared for this level of cold. Snow. There is snow everywhere. Clarissa squints through the glare of the watery sunlight - which is currently doing nothing to warm her bare (bare apart from the sizable amount of bandages, at least) legs in the short crimson skirt she's wearing - and surveys the view of the city sprawling before her. Okay, maybe she should have expected this - it's the middle of winter, after all, and she had known that Sinnoh was a lot colder than Kanto, but, still. She had been expecting cold. She hadn't been expecting Antarctica.

For now she turns on her heel and stomps briskly back into the warmth of the airport, wrapping her unseasonably lightweight jacket tighter around herself. Once back inside she drops her bag of clothes and other basic essentials required for a short holiday, and, after letting Clefairy hop down onto it to sit-tight for a moment, she whips out her PokeGear from her jacket pocket and jabs in the number of the one person here who she knows.]

Come on, come on! You'd better pick up, loser!

[It had only been a few days since Saturn had returned to Sinnoh, and though he tried to be more involved the Galactic Company he was currently head of, he was finding it rather difficult. The office he resided in somehow seemed to big and after being in his presence once more it seemed impossible to finally be back. The sudden ringing of his phone snapped Saturn out of his thoughts and he glanced down at the number. Who on earth....?

Saturn rarely gave out his personal number so with morbid curiosity he picked it up.]

...Hello?

[He couldn't help but sound suspicious.]

[The voice down the end of the phone should be somewhat familiar to Saturn. After all, he did spend an indeterminate amount of time stuck on an island being annoyed by it and, more specifically, its owner.]

Hey! Saturn!

[...Don't remember giving Clarissa your number? If not, then the chances are you didn't...in which case, you should keep a closer eye on your possessions.

Unseen to Saturn, Clarissa grins excitedly to herself, pacing mindlessly in a circle as she clutches the phone closer to her ear.]

It's been forever, right?! What have you been wasting the time on?

[If Saturn was at all pleased to hear from her, he certainly didn't show it.]

Clari- How on earth did you get this number?

[Clarissa snickers meanly down the phone.]

What sort of so-called Commander can't even keep a track of their own stuff? That's so pathetic it's just shameful! You should watch that someone doesn't take something more important than your phone.

[There is a moment of silence on the other side. Followed by a frustrated sigh.]

I believe the real issue isn't about my ability to keep hold of my things, but rather your ability to control yourself....

[Clarissa growls and 'tch's angrily, grasping the Pokegear tighter.]

Yeah, yeah, whatever you say! Anyway. [Hmph.] Where are you right now?

[There is a slight smirk on the other end. Getting Clarissa irritated over his comment means he won in a small way, and the added distance meant he didn't have to worry about being punched as a result. Though the smirk quickly faded into a frown when she asked her question.

His voice sounded suspicious.]

...Why do you ask?

[Another growl down the phone — why won't you ever just play along nicely, Saturn? Always so strict on the details...none of which Clarissa seems inclined to give him just yet. She's her being her usual jubilantly bratty self and it sounds like she plans to be just as difficult as ever. Sorry.]

Just tell me where you are! You have to come pick me up!

Pick you...? [ Silence. The realization was finally beginning to sink in as all the clues added up. Saturn was suddenly filled with dread. He couldn't possibly give out his whereabouts. No, surely having Clarissa show up at this place of work, where he holds a position of leadership even, would be disastrous.]

...Where are you?

The airport, stupid. Where else? [The amount of cruel joy ringing in Clarissa's voice makes her evil smirk almost audible over the phone. She knows she has Saturn exactly where she wants him, and she sounds like it.] So are you going to come pick me up, or do I have to go find your stupid HQ thing to ask where I can find you?

[ Saturn glowers at Clarissa through the phone. He wasn't quite surprised by now, if she was asking him to pick her up she couldn't mean all the way in Kanto..]

No!...That won't be necessary..

[The dread in his voice was not well hidden as he stood up to grab a different pair of clothes and his coat. He lay them out of his chair to change as soon as he stopped talking to Clarissa.]

Just... wait near the bus station... if you must. [There was no more arguing. If she was at the airport he couldn't risk her showing up at his HQ and most definably embarrassing him.]

[Hook, line and sinker, sucker! There's another mean burst of laughter from Clarissa's end of the connection, and her voice is full of devious glee when she responds.]

Great! You'd better not dare keep me waiting long, got that? I'll see you there.

[And with that she hangs up, grabs her case, and trundles off to the airport toilets to change out of her skirt and blouse and into something warmer, as well as freshen up after the long trip. After that she heads out to locate the bus station.]
