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.]

[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.
dressofheaven: (... Why the heck did you do that?)

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...]
dressofheaven: (Oh no you didn't)

[personal profile] dressofheaven 2013-06-05 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, great. So there are two gym leaders like that. Is she better or worse than Whitney?

Wonderful. Well, thank you for the warning, anyway.

... I'm a little surprised her party went so well, considering that. It was actually a very enjoyable time.
