Jenny scratches her chin some more, "You think you can find one that won't get greedy or spread rumors to the rest of the facility and draw attention to the capabilities of these cards? It's mostly protocol, since we don't want another fiasco being blamed on them and those who understand how they work."
Walters nodded. "Sure. We have a nice lad interning here named Mason. I'll go get him," turning, she ducked out of the hall.
"We understand that this is a test, and at this point, we have absolutely no desire to keep these cards," Schwartzbaugh explained. "Our interns have absolutely no knowledge of this, and Dr. Walters was only told the barest minimum."

Ryuta, having stayed behind to keep watch of Mewtwo and his clones, decides to pull up a spare stool and sit down at the corner where he and Meowth had been placed in to avoid drawing unnecessary attention from newcomer scientists. He had since moved Kumitsune to his lap where he curled up and proceeded to doze of for what could be another long day of waiting.
Joe also pulled up a stool and sat. He leaned over toward Ryuta. "So, now what?"
The other scientist finally looked up from his magazine. "I'm sorry, didn't see you come in." He gave a nod. "I'm Reese, chief bottle washer and candy striper." He gave a chuckle, leaning back in his chair and putting his feet up on the table. "If you need anything, let me know. Also, watch out for that Charizard, it's not very nice."
Mewtwo glowered, shifting about in the cramped crate in an attempt to make himself comfortable. "If you had harmed any of my clones..."
"Your clones?" Reese put his feet down, staring at Mewtwo. "You own these Pokemon?"
"I created them," Mewtwo clarified rather harshly.
Reese just gaped at him, then looked to Ryuta and Joe. "Pokemon making Pokemon, talking Pokemon, you guys ever seen anything this weird? I mean, the talking Meowth, there," he pointed to Meowth, "and Mewtwo, here," he pointed to Mewtwo, "and all these clones..." he trailed off, shaking his head and returning to his magazine. "I swear, man... I swear. My job was perfectly normal until these freaks showed up..."

I need to take more commissions.
The problem with commissions, though, is that sometimes, you're requested to draw some weird stuff. My last commission was certified nightmare fuel.

I didn't speak until I was around three years old, and when I was around four, doctors would tell my folks that I was severely mentally retarded and would need to be institutionalized.
Obviously, they were wrong.
I also know how to remove stitches, despite not having had stitches yet. *knocks on wood.* I've removed stitches from dogs and cats, and I can administer an injection. Some veterinary training.

Schwartzbaugh shrugged. "Honestly, this is entirely new for me." He looked to one of his colleagues. "My assistant, here, can document the transformation, and we could get one of our interns if you need someone with less experience."
His assistant, a younger woman with dark hair, nodded. "I'm Dr. Walters," she extended her hand, "and I work with Trainer volunteers, primarily." She nodded to the room behind her. "We have several Trainers interning here, so if you prefer to work with one, one of my interns specializes in Dittos."
In another room, as Mewtwo was locked into his designated crate, he looked to Meowth, who was ushered inside another crate. he waited until the handlers had left before he surveyed his similarly-captive clones. "All of you... You have not been harmed, have you?" He fell silent as the clones responded in various grunts, squeals, and growls. "I apologize for this... None of you should be here, none of you deserve to be here. You were all gathered under a ruse, by an impostor who preyed upon your trust. That impostor has been dealt with, but right now, we need to focus on ourselves, on our safety." He paused for a moment. "However easy it may be to do so, I cannot simply destroy our confines and escape. There are other matters at play, here... and I need to maintain control if we are to succeed..."
He paused again, reaching behind his head to unwrap the itchy bandage from his neck tube and thread it between the bars of the crate, where it dropped on the floor. "So as to protect all of you, I had offered myself for their studies. Whatever they wish to learn from you, they can learn from me. You do not deserve to be here, you are all innocent in this."
The scientist on duty had not spoken, his attention on his magazine.

Domino also ducked out and casually struck up a pointless conversation with James as they headed for her office. "...An' I told har, I told har that shay wuz jus' wastin' har toime wit' that goiy, an' shay shud dump hizzass!" It was only after the words had escaped her mouth that she realized that she was emphasizing the dialect a bit too much. She made a mental note to dial it back, but didn't want to do so immediately after she had spat out that overblown wad of forced dialogue.
Mewtwo either didn't notice, or he simply didn't pay any mind. His head was bowed and his gaze was on the floor. He was not looking forward to being crammed in that crate again, but it meant that he could see his clones, so he would tolerate the confinement.
Behind him, Joe led Meowth down the hall. "Maybe they'll get you guys some kibble or something," his words were merely for the sake of making conversation and an attempt to ease the tension. He wasn't looking forward to dealing with Mewtwo, should he get upset during the transfer.

I may just see about finishing off that fine arts degree. I could use the credits I accumulated with my digital arts degree and see where I can go with it. Basically, I'm just after the degree. I need that piece of paper because that's what employers want to see, regardless of what the actual degree is.

Depending on what I plan to do, finding an internship might not be very easy. If I'm finishing off my liberal arts/fine arts degree, I have few options open, and most of them would end up being some sort of teaching position, either in a high school or another college. If I decide to go for forensic entomology, I'd be tossing my credits out the window and starting from scratch, aside from perhaps skipping the core requirements.

Well, the social activities coordinator is setting up a time to tour our local community college, which I've attended in the past. I'll ask lots of questions regarding adult enrichment studies, or just finishing off a degree with what credits I have. I don't want to get roped into another four-year hitch and retake all of the core requirements a fourth time.

I just don't want a looming debt that I'll still be paying off after I die. Though, paying for a single class might be doable. If I can get by on what credits I already have, I may be able to get into an enrichment program and simply finish off my degree, or audit some classes.

Domino nodded. "Yeah, and with the way Giovanni's been so... distant about this project, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one to pull our plugs." She sucked in her breath and looked around the room, spying a large, empty crate at the end. "Whose bright idea was it to bring Mewtwo's crate in here?"
The scientist on duty just looked up from the magazine he was reading and shrugged. "Yeung's I think." He returned to his reading, and then jumped as his phone buzzed. He pulled it from its holster and slid it open, glancing at the screen. "Oh, they're bringing the Pokemon back, so you might wanna duck out... or stick around and help. I hear Mewtwo's a bit of a handful."
"A bit," Domino said flatly. She glanced out into the hall again, seeing two handlers head for the interview room. "The coast's clear," she looked to James, "we'd better head out now."

At least there's home. Moving sucks, particularly if one has to move right away (getting a day's notice to pack my stuff the last time I moved wasn't fun), but at least you have housing in the interim. I'd suggest looking into a smaller place, an efficiency or studio. Living with others isn't always a sure bet, and I've had many an experience in that field which fell through.
When one has their own apartment, one only has to rely on one person--oneself.

I'm still kicking around the idea of going back to school. At the very least, I'm going to look into figure drawing classes without it counting toward a degree, but I'm still debating forensic entomology.

A call on his answering machine, for him? Who on earth could have called him and better yet have his number? He walked over to the phone, placing the pokeball that held Ahrzayl on the tube console, and pressed the the flashing red button. Dr. Yueng's messages played back. Steiner took no time to pick the phone up and dial the number back, turning back to his Doomball.
"Can you hold on a moment, my dear? This won't take long. I promise you will be the center all of my attention once I am through." Steiner said in a low tone. "Ah! Hello doctor! It surely has been a while." Steiner greeted, smiling a wide grin. He adjusted his glasses.
Yeung's phone went off and he answered it. "Hello? Oh, hello! Indeed it has, could you give me one quick second, please? Thanks." Cupping his hand over the receiver, Yeung looked to Ryuta and Joe. "I'm sorry, but we'll need to continue this at another time. I need to take this call. Could you perhaps take Mewtwo back to its crate? Meowth, too? There should be some handlers in the room if you need help. Thanks." Returning his attention back to his call, he ducked into another room. "I'm sorry I left so many messages, I'm running on a deadline and there's a project I'd like to discuss with you..."
Mewtwo waited until Yeung had left the room before standing. He looked to Ryuta for a moment, and then made his way to the door. "I shall be cooperative. I just wish to see my clones."

James irks as he grabs Domino and yanks her into the room, barely missing Hierophant looking behind him at the sound of her voice.
"I'll explain the Charizard clone's behavior later," he mutters, "Right now, one of the three Jennys are here, and she has that kid that knows about the white Skitty and its cards."
Jenny remained oblivious as she nods and follows after the director, prompting Hierophant to redraw his attention back to their leaving figure and quickly follow after them.
Domino glanced out into the hall again, and then ducked back inside. "Lay low for a while, they won't be in this wing for long. I heard what they came for, I do work here, you know."

One of the Institute's directors, an older gentleman by the name of Schwartzbaugh, stepped out of an office and walked up to Jenny and Heirophant, smiling and extending his hand. "I'm Leonard Schwartzbaugh, we spoke on the phone. I'm one of the directors for this facility, and I specialize in the study of Pokemon attacks and abilities. Please, follow me, we have a Ditto ready for you to use."
Down the hall, unnoticed by the others, Domino stepped out of her office and walked over to the door where James still sat, poking his head out of the room. She glanced at Jenny and Heirophant, and then looked back to James, her voice a shrill whisper. "What're you doing? And the hell is that smell?" She wrinkled her nose. "Is that burned hair?"
