02X - Reintro. [Text/Locked Audio to the Rocket Frequency]

[TEXT]

[Well! Those of you on the network today will be greeted by a bit of audio late this morning, from a device ID that's been bouncing back all attempts at contact for the last several weeks.]

...Oh, that's cute.

[...well, if that wasn't the most triumphant return ever, I don't know what is.

At the very least, however, he seems to get over whatever he's almost audibly linefacing at long enough to realize that the device is recording something; he promptly switches the thing over to text - he's never really liked talking at the machine when he's addressing all of Johto.]


My, it seems this place does still have its sense of humor, doesn't it? And here I thought that perhaps I'd only lost three days at worst - it was a bit of a surprise to find out otherwise.

Ah, but that's neither here nor there, is it?


[Kimblee, hon.]

There's not much to report from home, unfortunately; however, it'll be a pleasure getting in contact with all of you again - hopefully you've all been at least reasonably well.

[Oh, well. At least he doesn't seem too off-put by the whole disappearing-for-a-month-and-a-half thing?]


[PRIVATE AUDIO - TEAM ROCKET FREQUENCY]

[...At least, not until the audio message that goes out over the private Rocket network a few minutes later; Kimblee's voice is cold and clipped, and the amiable "tone" from the text earlier is completely absent.

He has no idea if he still holds his rank or not; he suspects he doesn't. Like hell if he won't throw it around anyway. He's a bit displeased at his life basically being a .gif from Community, and he's going to figure out what in the good hell is going on if it kills him.]


This is Team Rocket Beta Solf J Kimblee, reporting back in for duty; to my superiors, I admit that I don't know what happened, but I assure you that it won't happen again.

To the rest of you - check in with me immediately, particularly if you're one of my subordinates. I'm receiving a lot of "ID Not Found" nonsense, and I need to know who's still present; given that and various things that I've had to hear about secondhand, I expect a full report regarding what happened here from someone, I'm not feeling particularly choosy right now.

New members to the organization - welcome to it, and you have my personal apologies for the disarray. For now, you're welcome to introduce yourselves; it'll serve you well to know that I'm good to those who are good to me. Again, prove yourself useful and you'll be rewarded.

None of this is a request. Allow me to make that much clear.

[...oh dear. Well. At least he's not in much position to actually do anything at the moment - this is Team Rocket we're talking about, and if somebody's on the network very vocally overstating their importance and/or competence, that means it's pretty much a day ending in Y.]

2 weeks and a half, sir.

[The benefit of text means that Rude can actually look at what he's about to write and check if it actually conveys what he's trying to say. It has saved him much embarrassment.]

[Rude totally understands, though for him it's more of the wrong choice of words to describe his thoughts rather than hiding sociopathic tendencies. He's already leaning in the grey side of morality anyway; there's a reason why he never goes into too much detail about his work when asked.

As for organization problems, well...Rude can't really complain. They leave him to his own and as long as he does his work they don't nag or micromanage him.

No problems on my part.

Sure I have. What kind of trainer can't tell an onion what to do?

[He has not.]

It's all just sunshine and rainbows, isn't it?

[Thank god for Kimblee being back or they'd probably be stuck in disarray.]

My own projects are faring fairly well. I've been using my Pokemon as assistants for the time being, but I don't see why I can't extend an offer to the new recruits as well... They would have to be extremely careful and competent with handling valuable parts, however. I will not tolerate any destruction of my work.

[Can you tell he's had bad experiences with grunts?]

[...that is the truest fucking thing that has ever been said in brackets because they totally would]

Very well, then. I believe it was a Forretress? Admittedly, I received a fairly large quantity of Pokemon around the same time because my acquaintance disappeared again, as did Major Alex Louis Armstrong, my other traveling partner. It's certainly been hideously annoying on all fronts, in that respect.

[Awww, she feels special!]

I'll show her that you're back soon. She'll be overjoyed.

[She nods emphatically.] That's right. Apparently Miss Clair is a cousin to the Champion, Mister Lance, and they have a huge mansion in a place called Tohjo Falls. No one actually knows how to find it except her, the Elite Four, and I think the other Gym Leaders. I tried to pay attention to where we were going, but I think they kept looping around and taking long detours on purpose, so I couldn't remember the way. I don't think anyone else could either.

It was incredibly fancy, and stuffed with books and trophies belonging to the Elite Four. Most of the Gym Leaders were there, but I didn't actually see any of the Four. I don't know why.

Yeah. My onion now. Get your own.

[Aw, her dandelion is all gone. You know what would be fun instead? Kicking this guy in the face]

Fuck!

[Blake throwing his arm up nearly flings her across the room. Good thing she's holding on tight.]

I hope it's made up its mind too. You have no idea just how deprived I was of the status quo while I was here. Never thought I'd be one to say this, or that these words would ever pop up, but, Mr. Kimblee, you are the sanest person here.

[ An almost ridiculous lie. There are other people here that are saner, but they're irritating and ridiculous. At least Kimblee knows what's up with humanity, and Lust still hasn't come to terms that the rules back home don't apply here. ]

Well, every ghost gains a different set of abilities after it dies as a human. I guess I was just lucky.
dressofheaven: (... Why the heck did you do that?)

[personal profile] dressofheaven 2013-05-14 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not quite sure myself, but I heard a rumor going around that they didn't want to have to deal with Miss Clair. I haven't actually talked to her, though, so I can't really say why that would be.

[She personally thinks it's far more likely they just didn't want to get swarmed. Then again, as she said, she hasn't ever talked to Clair...]

[He is truly honored, Kimblee.]

Well of course the natives are known to be bumbling imbeciles, but shockingly it was a non-native grunt in this case! The idiot was throwing her own Pokemon through the halls and it collided with me while I was carrying valuable parts! That set me back weeks!!

[And shriek he did. That happened months ago and he is still pissed about it.]

That said, I would greatly appreciate if you did find competent assistance.

I...didn't, actually. I don't believe she's even in this world anymore, now that I think about it. Which sits just fine with me; we don't need more savages like her in this organization.
