Quil could see in the distance a huge bunch of buildings, oh, he must be nearly there. Hidden within huge rolling hills and many miles away with broad plains and a dessert in the path. Team Death had chosen a good place for their hideout, the headquarters would've been impossible to find if he hadn't known exactly where it was. Quil had taken the longer route across the dessert, simply because he was planning to go back there and hunt for his Pokémon. Rolo, even though disgustingly cute, was a fordable foe and he had to admit, he was a good Pokémon.
Finally, after fifteen minutes of strolling leisurely through the tall grass, he approached the looming cast iron gates of the headquarters everyone feared. Team Death.
Adjusting his goggles, he walked forward until he could lick the gates if he wanted and waited. The sun beating down on his neck, allowing beads of sweat to drip down the crook of his neck and trailed stick drops down his shirt. Despite being sweaty, a scowl still pulled his lips downward, and a stare was ready to pierce anyone who approached him. A gloved hand grasped the rungs of the gate as he leaned against it. He was going to join, whether they liked it or not. He would become a member of Team Death.

Koden was working in the lab as usual when a buzzer went off. Somebody was at the gates. Another aspiring Team Death member? Wow, after a length of inactivity, TD was begining to get moving again with all these new recruits. Koden removed his lab coat and deposited it on his chair. He didn't much enjoy welcoming all this newbies, but it was something he had to do. He would rather splice some pokemon or draw with Koda. Speaking of which, where was Koda? Probably in their room. He'd look as soon as this guy was taken care of.
Koden exited the cool conditioned building and into the humid heat. Oh great. As he approached the gates, he evaluted Quil in his head. He was a pokemorph. That was cool. Koden, himself was an umbreon morph and his son, Koda, was a mudkip morph. But the pokemorph he was approaching seemed a bit...grumpy. Koden knew that frown, that glare. It was that 'my life is so horrible' glares. What the hell had happened to him to make him so grumpy? Heck, he probably didn't even have something super terrible happen. Maybe his mom died or something. That wasn't enough to sulk around and hate everyone for. Quite frankly, he was begining to hate this kid already.
"Look kid, whatever the hell happened to you, doesn't involve me. So you can take that fucking look off your face." Well Koden had a particularly....colorful language. Koden didn't even bother to introduce himself, he never did anyways. When you're a member of Team Death, giving out your name was a catastrophe waiting to happen. "Give me your name and number of badges." Koden was being particularly blunt today. Even more, he returned Quil's glare with his own icy blood red eyes.

Quil leaned his head against the cool metal, the heat was really getting to him. My god, how longer was this person going to take? He was going to get heatstroke, he couldn't breathe. The humidity in the air was suffocating him, this was a sad, and very pathetic way to die. Oh well, better than becoming a wild human. Quil's scowl deepen at this point, he was going to die and it was all Team Death's fault! He hoped the person who found him dead, would be horrified that by taking too long to put make-up on, or pooing, or whatever the hell they were doing they had killed him. Wait, what the hell was he doing? He wasn't going to die over a little sun! Bending over like he was ready to collapse was not going to help him join Team Death anyways. He was not a weakling! He, just needed some water, yeah. Half delusional, he swung his backpack off his shoulder and rummaged around for his water bottle.
Emerging victorious he took a long drag on it, letting out a happy sigh of relief. He felt better already, dumping the water on his head. He enjoyed the feeling of the still icy cold water drip all over him. Hearing the door open with a soft creak, he quickly stashed the water bottle in his backpack and with narrowed eyes waited to see who had made him wait so long. With surprise he realized the person that emerged was indeed a pokemorph, an Umbreon one at that. They seemed pretty common for pokemorphs, Quil could never figure out why. Shoving that fact out of his head, he analyzed the approaching man, the scowl subconsciously appearing on his face. He walked with a slight swagger, he must be pretty important, Quil guessed. As pissed as he might be, he should be semi polite at the very least. As the man closed the distance between them, Quil noticed the man looked rather agitated.
Quil was about to greet him, with a 'Hello' and the beginning of the word had just come out when the 'morph spoke. "Look kid, whatever the hell happened to you, doesn't involve me. So you can take that fucking look off your face."
Any semblance of respect Quil had ot any ideas about being nice quickly was shot out of the window. He let out a growl, resisting from shouting swear words at him. "You're right, it doesn't involve you! So butt the fuck out! The way I look is no way involved with my purpose here you insensitive shitty bastard!" Quil snarled slightly, but felt better after his outburst, returning Koden's glare fiercely. "Why don't you tell me your name first." he muttered. "Why should I trust /you/?" This guy was so moronic, he wanted to punch him.

Meow. This kid was fighting back. Rather pathetic really. Perhaps the heat was just getting to him. Koden only half listened. Oh, apparently he was insensitive? "Look, kid." Oh how he enjoyed refering to Quil as kid. Already it was a name of inferiority. "All I'm saying is you better grow a better attitude if you want in. Us admins don't particularly like it when the grunts have 'the whole world is out to get me' scowls. The world isn't out to get you, we're out to get the world."
What Koden was saying probably wouldn't make any sense to him. Koden almost wanted to say 'You think your life is terrible?' but refrained from it. He knew quite well that his new start in Cheyenne was going alright compared to the horrors he had to face only two years back. Koden's tone was getting much softer, but the glare remained. If this asshole wanted a stare-off, he'd give him one.
Then Quil had to go and ask him his name. "Well kid." There it was again. 'KID'. "The first thing you learn as a member of Team Death is that that you don't give your name out to people who aren't members. I am a member, you aren't. So give me you name."

Quil sighed, not really caring whatever the Umbreon pokemorph was going to say, he didn't care, he had overreacted earlier, but heck, he was not going to apologize. Quil listened to Koren speak, his voice a bit softer now, more reassuring almost. He was an admin? Oh, crap. Quil flushed, feeling slightly ashamed, ah... well, at least I know him. Quil frowned as he listened to Koden, what he was saying, made sense... he was the one who was going to get the other people, so he shouldn't be quite so guarded. This entire speech, he had been boring a hole in Koden's eyes, but now he relaxed his stare a bit, but he refused to advert his gaze. That would mean giving up.
"You know, you have a point. Team Death is the one going after people, striking terror in their souls." Quil murmured, nodding slightly. "However, I must say I do not have 'the whole world is out to get me' glare." he couldn't resist adding in. "I feel it's a more like, 'I don't like you so go away forever' glare, I suppose it could be misinterpreted though." Shrugging slightly, Quil sank into his normal stony silence.
Ugh, what was up with the kid comments, the stupid pokemorph kept putting so much emphasis on the damn word. Forehead vein twitching slightly, he sighed. "Quil," he muttered, "call me Quil. I have no badges, so yes, I am aware that I'm a lowly grunt now. Isn't that right sir admin?" a sarcastic tone penetrating through on the sir admin. He grunted, you just wait. I'll prove myself.

[Sorry for the super-short lazy post.]
Blah Blah Blah. Neither of the two were listening to eachother and neither would dare give in. It wasn't in their natures. "Whatever type of scowl it is, get rid of it." Koden was taking a bit more authority in his tone. He reached into his pocket, almost in the fashion that one would take out a gun, and pulled out a badge. He tossed it over quickly. "Take it, don't lose it. Come near me again with that look and you'll be out before you can say 'Fuck you'." And that was his que to leave. He had more important matters to handle than some sarcastic punk. He turned around and headed towards the door. Finally. Air conditioning.

"Well! Thanks!" Quil scowled, before quickly composing his face. That admin had no sense of respect for the lower ranks. Scoffing softly he walked away, "Too bad I never found out your name." Huh. Well, he'd meet him again, without the scowl. He'd be back and better than ever.
