Emet-Selch (primarily), Lanque Bombyx, Dirk Strider, Steven Durante, Scorpia, Carly Nagisa, Doppio, Risotto, and Hermes
CURRENT RANK: Emet and Doppio are privates, Dirk, Carly and Steven are Beta, Scorpia, Risotto, and Hermes are grunts.
REQUESTED REWARD: Emet would be interested in hidden ability candies, a shiny, or possibly a reusable thunder TM. Everyone else didn't put in for specifics for rewards, so whatever might be suitable for their contribution (money, pokemon, etc).
JUSTIFY THE REWARD: For several months now Emet has had Hythlodaeus breed him Yamask that he would then train and turn into Team Rocket in preparation of the Yamasquerade, though that was only the start. Presenting his idea to the admins, he offered them a solution to the Aurora Champions being present at Prom: make the champions fight each other. From there, he would weasel (sneasel?) his way into Riegfried and Soy's good graces, securing his involvement with Prom that they were gracious enough to host. After a lot of work and concentrated effort, he was able to make ~magic masks~ via psychic Pokémon energy imbued into them. This would disallow anyone to remove the masks, recognize other people, and likewise they could not be recognized themselves.
His involvement with the planning of prom then allowed Team Rocket an in; grunts and other native members could pose as caterers and event staff so they could take advantage of the distraction the Yamasquerade would prove to be. Though not all guests went to the event, a fair many did, and when the signal was given, they were stuck dealing with those of whom were possessed by the trained Yamask, while otherwise locked within the dance room. With the absolute chaos unleashed, Team Rocket was then able to steal a great many valuables from the mansion of poor Riegfried and Soy, and some few Pokémon as well.
Being one willfully possessed by a Yamask to keep up appearances, Emet did battle the heroes of the event, keeping them suitably busy, as did the others who were of a similar predicament. This would afford Team Rocket the cover necessary to deliver valuables to the clandestine drop locations to be smuggled back to headquarters. In an effort to make this as authentic as possible, Emet allowed his own Pokémon to be stolen from him after the showdown (with the intention they would be returned to him.)
As for the other Rockets, while they did not play as big of a part in this heist, they did have a hand in helping the event.
Carly for instance played the part of The Drunk Girl at the party, and purposefully got in the way of the trainers who were trying to combat any Rockets or the Yamask'd—doing everything possible to be a distraction and inconvenience to any heroing that was to be done.
Lanque had left the ballroom early, and stole Claudia's unsold Pokémon eggs she left in her room, while likewise grabbing as many valuables as he could...of reasonable size. Honestly, he mainly went for items that were either jewelry or anything that looked to be made of silver/gold that could be resold or melted down.
Dirk stole a good few of Riegfried and Soy's Prized Vivillions and any decorative "trash" they had around.
Steven sent two of his Pokémon to steal enough valuables to fill a large bag, while he pretended to be on the good guys side battling the possessed, but before that he had pocketed a handful of smaller valuables to likewise turn in.
Scorpia aimed to steal Pokémon related things (stones, TMs, etc) and turned in a Scatterbug egg (which was given to her but shh), and otherwise attempted to be an obstacle for anyone going after the Rockets who were looting.
Risotto stole tacky looking items, which may vary in value, but they're rich people so anything they have is pretty tacky and likely costly. So, sorry if Team Rocket didn't want some atrocious looking lamp, or some other hideous trinket, it apparently called to Risotto.
Doppio likewise took as many valuables as he could grab, but also attempted to steal some rare Pokémon from either native guests or R&S's mansion itself.
Lastly, Hermes stole anything that looked expensive and he could pocket, even some things he couldn't. Ever tenacious, he took some expensive pieces of furniture that weren't too horrible to remove from the premises. Hopefully that gauche foot stool is exactly what one of the admins wanted?
In the end, Team Rocket made off with a sizable chunk of valuables, hideously expensive...rich people junk, and Pokémon!
Slaps this down really late, but listen...shhh....
