"We have too many friends," Kristen said, glancing up at Sapphire from the plethora of letters that were on her desk. Quite a few contacts in the other regions had contacted the sisters for different reasons, and the sisters were just now able to get to them. "I hope no one minds a forced vacation..."
Of course, judging by the weather, perhaps the other caretakers wouldn't mind jetting off to the warmer regions of the Pokemon world. Sapphire and Kris, the older sister believed, did a decent job of pairing up the caretakers to send on missions that the other caretakers wouldn't mind. As far as Kris knew, the other caretakers got along well; she was sure they didn't pair up anyone that wanted to strangle the other.
The assignments seemed to work out in everyone's favor as well, what with preferences and personal strengths. Kristen and Sapphire would have loved to go and visit old friends while helping out said friends, but the ranch had gotten so large that they wouldn't feel right jetting off. Not just yet, anyway. Perhaps one day they'll go and see the other regions while the the ranch was in good hands with the other caretakers. With the winter damage and spring supplies on the way, however, that day would not be today. Tagging everybody: Sapphire, Kurt the Suicune, weirfan22, Echo, @gastroacid, and Des. Ninja☆ and peteypabs13 are more than welcome to follow this thread (and possibly their caretakers into the room) if they wish.

Sapphire spun around in her spin-chair to face her sister. She was fiddling with a Zebstrika-striped pen in her hand. She attempted to balance it on her nose, but it kept falling down on the ground as she listened to Kris.
"Why would anyone mind a vacation?" Sapphire laughed. "As much as I love this place, I think it would be awesome to go out and explore the regions again. Then I think of my bed and the kitchen and I realize that hanging out at the ranch is ideal for me." she winked.
She stood up from her chair and glanced over Kris's shoulder at all the letters she was clinging onto. "We do have too many friends. Why do they all need our help all of the sudden?" she sighed leaning against her sister's desk. "Well, at least you and I will get a chance to make those expansions on the ranch while everyone is gone!"

Holding back a wide, jaw jarring yawn, Kaelan heaved a heavy sigh instead. Bright emerald orbs stared through the window in his bedroom, watching the snow fall with a sense of melancholy. Sure he loved all seasons, but winter just made him feel more lethargic than normal. He found himself preferring to work inside than be out any longer than he needed. He lived for the Summer months where water types thrived. Sometimes he thought he had been a water Pokemon in a past life. His broad, lanky frame was sprawled out on the bed, lazily. He blinked slowly, watching the colors form behind his lids from staring at the bright natural light too long. He shook his head and turned his attention to the ceiling. "I wonder what the head girls have planned for today." he mused out loud. He had heard word of the two owners of the ranch planning something involving all the caretakers. He was rather curious since it seemed rather important. If it helped the ranch, he was up for anything they had planned.
"Bui...Bui.." River intoned from his place beside his caretaker. The young Buizel was sprawled in a similar fashion, which was amusing to anyone passing by. A sudden thought struck like lightning, causing his eyes to snap open after he had closed them for a moment to think. He quickly sat up, deciding to go and investigate for himself. River followed the motion with an enthusiastic cry of his species name. Kaelan couldn't help but smile at the weasel Pokemon. "Let's go then!" He announced, heading for the door. His room wasn't far from their office, so he carefully made his way down the hall. Coming upon their office, he carefully and hesitantly knocked, hoping he wasn't interrupting. "Hello? Kris? Sapphire? Can I come in? It's Kaelan." He announced, hesitantly. He straightened to his full height as River traversed up his side and clung to his right shoulder, eyeing the door, curiously. He cleared his throat and waited, patiently to be let in.

"Kid, you're blocking the door." Raphael cast Kaelan a quick smirk as he brushed past the younger caretaker and walked right into the office.
"He wasn't blocking it!" Kurt came up behind Kaelan, shaking his head at Raphael's actions. "He was being polite and waiting until the boss ladies said it was okay to come in."
"They're used to it." Raphael had cast the boss ladies a nod of a greeting before seating himself on the sofa. "So, what's this about?"
Kurt, with a shrug to himself and to Kaelan, followed Raphael into the office. "How are you ladies? Are we in trouble?"

CataCata came power-walking through the hall, panting hard as though she had just run a mile. It wasn't far from the truth—she had just finished talking a couple Pokémon out of a scuffle before remembering that the Ranch owners had requested the presence of all caretakers in their office. Bosoms heaving as she gasped for air, she tried to normalize her breathing and straighten out her short-sleeved T-shirt before stepping closer to the open door. Three other, gentlemen caretakers were there; she didn't know their names just yet, though she thought one of them was Kurt? She stood just beyond the doorway to let the trio enter before her, gray eyes widening at Kurt's words. She exclaimed, "Sure hope not! I just got here not long ago." It was unlikely that she, a newbie, would be in trouble, although she hushed herself quickly to see what her new bosses would tell them.

"I'm certain that no one is in trouble." Bryar came into the office after Cata, smiling in greeting to those that were already there. To Cata, he asked, "Did you get a chance to meet everyone yet? There's Raphael, Kurt, Kaelan..." Bryar pointed to each of the other males as he said their names. With a joking tone, he also pointed to the two young women who were in charge of the ranch. "Kristen, Sapphire..."
"Avalyn!" Ava popped into the office with a giggle, obviously hearing the tail-end of her brother's words to the newest caretaker. She had seen Cata around before, of course, considering the pair shared the same floor with their bedrooms, and Ava greeted Cata with a nod. She waved to everyone else and plopped herself down next to Raphael on the sofa.
"We should have ordered pizza if this is a party," Sierra said as she entered the office. She glanced around at everyone before her gaze ended on the bosses of the place. She leaned against the wall and said, "Guess we're just waiting on a few more, right?"

((Seeing as it's been over a week since the last post was on this thread, we're going to continue on. weirfan22, feel free to pop in this thread with your caretakers whenever you get the chance!))Kristen grinned at her sister when Sapphire joked about wanting to stay in bed even with the chance of taking a vacation. A 'stay-cation' sounded ideal, one where they could sleep in past six in the morning. Still, she wouldn't trade anything for the life they lived now, even if they did need to get up at the break of dawn with the alarm clock.
Kris greeted the other caretakers as they came in, saying, "Hello," and "No, no one's in trouble," whenever it was appropriate. After Sierra came in, the group waited a few more minutes before Kristen decided that they should get started.
"Okay, so we're still missing a few faces," Kristen said, gathering everyone's attention. "We'll brief Rosemary, Amelia, and Tyson on everything when we see them next time.
"Now, everyone is here because Sapphire and I need a bit of help," Kristen said. "Rather, we have several contacts who are looking for help, or guinea pigs, if I'm being honest. Sapphire and I aren't able to take off at the moment, even though the ranch would be in good hands with all of you. There's just too much stuff that, as the owners, we need to do.
"Therefore, the rest of you are going on a vacation," she continued. "We paired you all up for these various missions, if you will, and you guys will be going to the other regions, if you don't mind."

Amelia had since stepped in, drying herself off from being in the Lake (hence why she was late) before listening in, in a wetsuit now that it was Winter time but still with a swimsuit beneath for added warmth as she wrapped her towel around herself to dry.
Rosemary sneaked in after Amelia had done so stayed with the Water Caretaker before she too listened, Hope in her arms.
After Kris had finished, Amelia hummed. "So..... It's a semi working vacation, right? Along with being an experiment..." She stated, just to clarify those thoughts in her head though she seemed rather cool with the idea. A way to explore places and bond with the other Caretakers away from work.
"Question! Would we only take our Pokèmon, or would we be able to take Pokèmon that are under our care? I know Rozencruz has been wanting to stretch her legs out......" Rosemary asked before adding. "Also how many Pokèmon would we be able to take?"

"I'm here!" Tyson exploded through the office door and froze in the doorway. He glanced at Kris, Sapphire, and everyone of the caretakers. He let out a small chuckle and slinked over to the other side of the room as though he wanted to be unnoticed.
Sapphire stifled a giggle and turned to face away from Tyson. "Okay, so Kris will give you all your assignments in a moment, but I'll let you know who is going where with who. Got it?"
She looked down at a list she and her sister compiled together and began to read off it, "Going to Kanto is Bryar and Cata, going to Johto is Kurt and Rosemary, going to Hoenn is Amelia and Kaelan, going to Unova is Avalyn and Tyson, and finally going to Kalos is Raphael and Sierra." she looked up from the paper and scanned the room. "Does anyone have any objections?"
She turned her attention to Rosemary and nodded her head. "We consider the Pokemon under your care to be your own since you're the primary caregiver for them. You would also be allowed to take up to three Pokemon. In case you guys find any wild Pokemon, you'll have room to catch them."
