021. [Anonymous Text + Images/Locked Audio - Rocket Frequency]

[ANONYMOUS TEXT + IMAGES]

[Kimblee hasn't been back in Goldenrod City for very long; he's well aware of the attack on the Tower, however - his contacts here have made him very aware of that.

He's well aware that he shouldn't do anything rash; however, his pride does have quite the tendency to get involved in decisions where it really has no goddamn business being, and as such, an anonymous text goes out over the network.

Seth's clearly making a reappearance tonight.]


It seems some of you have been enjoying yourselves lately.

[There's no clarification regarding exactly what he's talking about; however, there are, as usual, pictures accompanying the text.

The first is par for the course, as Seth goes; a set of six Pokéballs held in gloved hands, on chest-level with the person holding them - his face isn't visible, but the red R insignia on his uniform clearly is, even in the dim light of the room.

The next three photographs are decidedly more straightforward, in terms of what he's trying to get across; each image contains two Pokémon in heavy, reinforced cages set up in front of a black backdrop of some sort - birds, all of them. They seem alive, though "unharmed" is a bit of a stretch; they seem to have been roughed up quite a bit.

More text, clearly continuing on from the first line.]


So have I.

[One more image follows, similar to the first - though instead of Pokéballs clasped in his hands, he has a white card pinned between his index and middle fingers, the words written on it scrawled out in thick, blocky lettering as though someone had gone over the words repeatedly, obscuring any sort of distinctive handwriting for the sake of making them far less identifiable.

TELL FALKNER THAT SETH SAYS HELLO.]



[AUDIO / PRIVATE - TEAM ROCKET FREQUENCY]

[And a few hours later, once Kimblee has decided he's done instigating for the day, the Rockets will be granted something decidedly more sane and far less...uh, directly ominous.]

A good evening to all of you; I hope that it finds you well.

[Again, the voice over the locked Rocket frequency tonight is calm and possibly surprisingly pleasant, especially given what one usually encounters around the base in Goldenrod; the person speaking is clearly a bit soft-spoken and his voice is gentle in a bit of a high-pitched sort of way, but there's firmness behind his words. Authority. A bit of arrogance, perhaps, but it's just as easily taken for confidence.]

My name is Solf J Kimblee; I hold the rank of Beta in this organization. It's been quite some time since I've been in our beloved hometown; regrettably, business has kept me away, but it won't be that way for much longer.

To those new to the organization - I welcome you to Johto, and I would like to take the time to get to know you personally. I can offer you work and opportunities, should you require direction; should you just want someone to speak to regarding your sudden arrival in this world, I would like to help you - I can't promise you answers, but I can offer my assistance in any way I can. For those who have arrived recently, but haven't met with me personally yet, I would like to invite you to do so as well.

And those of you who have been here for a while - I'll expect some sort of proper report from at least one of you, regarding the incident that occurred last week. Many of you know exactly how well I adhere to Equivalent Exchange; offer me valid information and I'll gladly reward you.

I look forward to speaking with all of you; I would prefer meeting in person, simply know where you are and I'll gladly meet you.

Until then~

How do you keep people from becoming suspicious? We can't exactly hide the fact that we didn't show up in New Bark Town like most of them.
itsjustdust: (Completely serious face.)

[A long moment of silence here.]

I have a tendency to want to protect people, so that would be involved, but I would also work on stabilizing the system so that we're not falling into a fresh war because of a minor mistake.

As long as it involves evolution via stone, item, or trade, I am interested. I don't have a Pokemon that evolves with a Dawn Stone on hand, but I have ways of getting a hold of one if need be.
itsjustdust: (I'll just look over there now. Yeah.)

[personal profile] itsjustdust 2013-01-25 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm dead back home so that door is closed to me. Here is my future.
itsjustdust: (Carry the four...)

[personal profile] itsjustdust 2013-01-25 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I died for someone important to me, and I've heard he even took on some of my more exaggerated habits as a tribute after, so it's not like I'm forgotten. Not what I wanted, true, but I've got more chances.

[Can't hold all these puzzle-loving British people!]

That is quite all right. I understand that everyone here is to be kept busy. I assume Betas are even more preoccupied than the lower ranks.

[Although this is making him wonder how many more Rockets are out there.]

If I am to be perfectly honest, while I do appreciate the accommodations and distractions this organization has provided, I am having a hard time accepting this entire situation. Due to being taken away from important events in my home world, I feel like my time is being wasted in this one.

[Hmm. New projects to look forward to. This might be a bad news in many ways, but he'd just have to wait and see.]

Is that so? I look forward to hearing about them. It has been a while since anything interesting has come up, after all.

[She is temporarily sidetracked from her main concern by utter glee.] You can fly on them too? That's terrific!

[The distraction doesn't last long though.] Oh, but, it's not the locals or just anyone from outside the Team I'm worried about. There's someone from my world here. Someone I know, who would have recognized me as soon as I used the Pokegear, and who I very much don't want to have any reason to be too watchful of me. Do you think someone like that would be fooled by that kind of story?

I helped changed the world. He's a smart guy and I gave him a really powerful gift, so it'll just have to do. If I want something more glorious than that I'll just have to find my way here, now won't I?

I've mostly been working at the Radio Tower - the news room I mentioned earlier. I was assigned there after I returned to Goldenrod a month ago. Before that I was sightseeing Johto a little - while acquiring some Pokémon, of course.

I was a high school student, for most part, but I was also involved in something similar as I am now. Nothing to do with Pokémon, but the mood of the places is the same.

I assume you keep your face covered and identity secure while engaging in such activities? I have had the unpleasant experience of telepathy inflicted on me while here, and assume they would be an excellent way for anyone to find out what they may be looking for.

Oh, of course. I wouldn't just forget something like that or let it fall to the wayside-it's a matter of pride, after all.

Lame excuse. You gonna tell me that every time?

[And since he's not a great fan of sitting and waiting for things to happen, he finds that very annoying.

Crow's frowns deepens as he thinks back to the birds in cages in the photos.]


... You can end this overdramatic bullshit and let 'em go now. Everyone's seen how oh-so-terrifying you are, you don't need 'em anymore.

Yet. They may surprise you. [Maybe. Maybe not. He's probably seen a lot.] Besides, I said "try and chase you down". I never said they'd make it that far or that they'd be able to catch you.

Though it does help to know there's more than one person with the same goal. It'll make preparing a lot easier.

Indeed!

Though tragically stripped of our infernal trappings at present, our commitment to the tenets of Perdition have never wavered.

[ They place their right hands over their hearts in unison. ]

Panic to the ignorant! Sovereignty to the strong! Since Heaven and Hell were sundered in two, this has been and always shall be our surest, most unshakeable---
