Rocket Missions V.2
Welcome, valued Team Rocket member! Pursuing a career in the greatest organization of all time, eh? Well, you're in the right place!
This is the hub where you will find information on all team Missions. As stated in the Code of Conduct, all Rocket agents must be available to accept at least one mission at all times. They won't all be glamorous or exciting, but even mopping floors in one of the bases can lead to greater things! Team Rocket offers work in a variety of fields, with the primary openings being in four specific categories: maintenance, field work, science, and of course, the goal of most aspiring agents, leadership.
Maintenance: Brand new agents will likely be handed these jobs before anything else, as they're the easiest and least likely to result in police attention if you screw them up! They can include things like janitorial and laundry work in the bases, or serving fellow agents in the cafeteria. Field Work: The most common missions take place in the field! Theft (whether it's as small as shoplifting some Potions or as big as participating in a full-scale heist) falls into this category, as does the simplest available mission, Pokemon acquisition. Anything you do to benefit the team outside of official Rocket premises can be considered field work! Science: Science mission work mostly takes place out of the public eye, in official Rocket laboratories. The perfect field for more technically-minded agents, these jobs can include anything from pioneering new technology to experimentation on Pokemon themselves. Or it can be as dull as data entry. Grab a lab coat and see what you get! Leadership: Getting sick of sharing those dorms? How does a private helicopter sound? Agents with lofty aspirations and a good work ethic may advance through the ranks and claim authority for themselves, earning swanky privileges, and more underlings to boss around than you can shake a stick at. This isn't to say that higher status doesn't come with its own responsibilities-- "Privates" and "Betas" are still expected to accomplish other missions (though usually not the maintenance ones-- that's grunt work), and even "Alphas" will usually work in the field. 'Leadership' jobs can even include tasks that just happen to require both specialized skills and a certain amount of trustworthiness to the Team. The main difference is tackling missions from an organizational, independent-thinking standpoint rather than just following orders-- YOU'RE the boss now!! Go put the fear of Arceus in some new recruits!

Rockets on Duty
NOTE: Team Rocket members who have not requested a specific mission (either listed or individual) will be considered on Pokemon-collecting duty and will not appear on this list.
CARLY NAGISA (Retired character) Vinegar Doppio (epitaffio) Min-Gi Park (outofsynth) REQUESTING A MISSION: "Hard" missions will only be given upon demand, as they may come with specific instructions and usually require at least a "Beta" rank. On the other hand, "Regular" and "Easy" missions can be picked up anytime by any team members that meet the requirements, if there are any.
Individual, personalized missions (player-determined) can also be requested at any time, and may vary beyond just the 'official' locations above-- the listed missions are guidelines, not restrictions! Get creative-- you may find yourself rewarded handsomely!
Comment here to claim a mission by filling out the form below:
REQUESTING A REWARD: Let no one say that working for Team Rocket is thankless-- those who prove themselves worthy may request all manner of exciting rewards!
Maybe they've been distinguishing themselves by taking charge and deserve to move upward in the ranks, or maybe they pulled off a heist so impressive that Auntie Apricorn wants to give them a rare item from the Rocket vault! The greater the achievements, the better the loot!
Team Rocket has access to many resources and can even, depending on the request, offer rewards that aren't available via other means...
Comment here to request a reward by filling out the form below:
NOTE: The mods may deny a reward if it's unfeasible or if the character's accomplishments don't match the value of the reward (ie, spraypainting a totally sick burn on the side of the Cerulean City Police Department might get you some brownie points with the admins, but they're not gonna give you a shiny Pokemon for it.) If this happens, we will be happy to offer alternative rewards or suggestions of what it would take to earn the desired reward!
someone needs to get his rep back too
Saffron City, however…
Well. Taking an overnight trip with his boyfriend is a decent enough excuse to be there, isn’t it? And a decent enough cover for his activities too. They can do some shopping, maybe go to Silph Co and look at (but hopefully not adopt) some of the Nulls… have an early supper and retire to the penthouse suite, complete with roof garden, of the fancy hotel they’re staying at before it’s even ten o’clock… and given how they’ve been eyefucking each other all night, how they played footsie at their supper out, and the little subtle touches they’ve been giving each other… I mean, it’s obvious to any observer what’s going to happen next, right? Two grown-ass men having wild monkey sex all night, right?
That’s going to happen eventually, actually. But not quite yet.
Steven’s been to Saffron before as a tourist. He’s got a decent idea of where there’s a fair number of dark corners and darker alleyways. Enough of an idea to plan what’s basically a teleportation route of certain alleyways scattered through various neighborhoods in Saffron--basically, all the districts that have anything resembling a night life--with ten separate stops, one that bounces all over the city in a way that can only done practically with teleportation..
So. Once Steven and Jack are alone together in their penthouse suite, Steven will change from his normal date night clothes to a plain all black ensemble and don the gas mask he’d originally procured for the mascot heist, thus completely obscuring his facial features, before heading out to the rooftop garden at ten o’clock.
That’s when Acatl, Steven’s Xatu, will teleport him to the dark alleyway that’s the first stop on his route. He’ll release Miasmagoria, his Haunter, and Skeleton, his Klefki, and the three of them will lie in wait while the Xatu psychically scouts out small groups of people out enjoying the night life--young couples, perhaps, or friends going out to have fun together. The Xatu will psychically lure those small groups into the alleyway, at which point the Klefki locks their movements in place, so they can’t leave and the Haunter immediately swoops in to gas them all into unconsciousness. Meanwhile Steven’s Haunter will also use Night Shade to show their victims an unreasonably terrifying mirage once they enter the alleyway, hiding Steven’s form (even if it won't do damage to them), but even if she wasn't, Steven’s still going to be in an even darker corner of that dark alleyway, with a gas mask obscuring his face, so there’s not going to be any real identifying details for the victims to go with, other than he’s tall and jacked.
Once his victims are unconscious, Steven will quickly and methodically search their bodies, removing any valuables and any pokeballs on them, and then proceed onward to his next stop on his route. Lather, rinse, and repeat nine more times. At bare minimum, he ought to be able to steal cash from twenty people this way and probably net a comparable number of pokeballs. And because he’s doing this quickly and methodically, he ought to be able to get his route done with by one in the morning, if not sooner.
At which point Steven and his team teleport back to the rooftop garden, so he can saunter back into the penthouse suite where Jack awaits him, probably having been watching hotel pay-per-view porn or some other television since he left. Steven strips off his heist clothing, stashes the stolen goods and heist clothing in the false compartments of his and Jack’s overnight luggages, and then, finally the two of them get to have wild monkey sex for the rest of the night. (And post-crime sex is always, always good.)
They leisurely leave Saffron the next morning, like the overnight trippers they are. Once back in Goldenrod, Steven removes the stolen goods from the luggage and packs it up to take to the admins that afternoon. He apologizes to the admins for the trouble he and his crew created via Fuzzle’s kidnapping and says that he hopes that this might somehow make up for it.
Given that he just presented them with the stolen goods of twenty-to-thirty people? Hopefully it will.
ETA: Obviously if things look like they're going south, he's ditching the plan and teleporting back to Jack ASAP. A repaired rep is not worth getting caught.

Not enough to advance past Private, of course--you'll have to work harder than that, or at least work hard like that WAY more often--but they are very happy to see he's not under the impression that Jack's position hasn't give him a false sense of security, or unmerited confidence. Or at least, not so much unmerited confidence that he isn't working hard to make them money. Or owning up to mistakes.
So that reputation? Looking pretty good right now, actually.

Also, re: the newsroom position in the radio tower, how many hours per week is it? It's part time, but is that 20hr/wk like I've been assuming receptions is or 30hr/wk?
no subject
The increased amount of work involved does mean it is a 30 hr/wk position; whether that's considered a pro or a con is probably up to him.
