LUCI&JAMES
Okay so I already mentioned this because you know, I do that in passing. But I think Luci would definitely be using her connections to arrange meetings with James and give him good publicity best as she can because she's heavily involved in Parallax. Her father owns a chain of stores and restaurants in Kalos so she's one of the "upper" members of society. She might have briefly been one of his attempts at dating while Harper was missing but if it didn't work out I don't think she'd be jilted. More just like that's cool you're better off being the leader of our movement anyways.

Also she definitely admires his business sense since he's so young and the CEO of Silph. That's pretty admirable. She's probably written a bunch of articles being like "this is why you should trust this man." and brings him coffee when he needs some kind of press consultant who isn't just out to paint Parallax as a bunch of pokemon killers.

LUCI&JAMES
YeS EXACTLY good my point came across in my failure middle-of-the-night way that I said things. Them having attempted to date but knowing that there wasn't a spark and just appreciating that they stayed friends because it was never a serious relationship to go sour anyway so them being friends and regular colleagues is good. And Luci will make sure her own network don't publish shitty press about him either or let the gossip columns she has any say in print gross lies.

Uh yes a thread would be good! And in terms of ideas--god I'm so bad at this. She could be coming to get a statement and bringing him lunch. She could have heard on the grapevine that he ran into Harper and been worried at his reaction?? IDK HECK SHE COULD BE BRINGING HIM COFFEE JUST TO MAKE FUN OF HIS MOST RECENT ATTEMPT AT DATING. Who knOWS.

WULFRAM FRITZERIKE & james silph

Hello!! Thank you for plotting with me uwu I really like your plot idea! I think they'd fit best as mutual fake friends, although we can totally thread to figure that out! James is rather cautious/paranoid because he's well aware of his position in Parallax and as someone who owns a big corporation, so I'd imagine that while he's friendly, he wouldn't go so far as to consider Faiz anymore than an acquaintance.

It'd take some time, but James would be able to trust him if he was persistent enough. Although James would be totally betrayed if he found out that Faiz has stolen Silph Co tech--he's very short tempered, and would likely start yelling and getting angry and everything, which might include a demand for an explanation or even cutting Faiz out of his life.

tbh, it all just depends! I think I can get a better idea if we can thread out their relationship :)))) would you like to thread?

This'll be the first of many plotter posts, so I'll try to keep it brief.


I'm basically proposing a possibly failed fiancee plot.


Thalia is the co-founder of PH Genetics and is inheriting her parents' wealth once they've stepped down from their position in another pharmaceutical company that they've created from the ground up. Basically, she's rolling in dough and just doesn't care. Her parents on the other hand want grandbabies and for her to marry someone that is going to make them proud. They probably offered the idea to James and set up a meeting for the two of them to which Thalia takes one look at him and just greets him as if he's a friend.

Despite everything that other people may think of her, Thalia is perceptive.

She reads up on people and studies their body language when she's talking to them. James for one doesn't seem as if he's interested in being a relationship with anyone else and two, he seems like a busy man who hasn't got all day. Her parents probably adore him and after his first betrothal didn't go so well, they're hoping to snag him for this second try.

And Thalia isn't having it.

For one, she wants to be free to choose someone on her own.

For two, despite their positions, they're both people and she knows very well what it means to not be able to be with the person you adore.

I could see her telling them that she wants to know James more before she decides to do anything of the sort with him. Then out of ear shot, she's just like: "Don't worry, they're harmless."

Thalia probably wouldn't have bothered to bring up Harper or say anything about her but I think she'd be willing to listen to anything James wanted to say. And if a touchy subject was brought up and he freaked out on her, she wouldn't really respond back with anger. More of calm contemplation.

They're polar opposites in a lot of ways which makes me question how they'd interact with each other at all.

BUT if this plot is no good, I also thought of the two of them probably just being co-workers or old friends from their school days and seeing one another quite a bit. She invites him over, probably makes him lunch and just talks to him whenever she gets the chance. Probably questions whether she wants to speak to him about the project that she's cooking up or if she wants to keep it a secret from him still.

Sorry, this is a whole lot of jumbled ideas but if you can make sense of it, tell me what you think and yeup!
