038. [ANON TEXT + IMAGES]

[Good afternoon, network! It's a surprisingly nice day today; the sun is out, and while it's not warm per se, it's warm enough to be pleasant.

The last time "Seth"'s device had shown up on the device with this particular sort of message, it'd looked about to snow; he's finding the weather far more favorable this time around.

The first image to hit the network is a view of the streets of Ecruteak, as shot out what looks like a window of some sort; there doesn't seem to be anything on the walls of wherever this was shot from, though the curtains are light and filmy-looking as they billow inward with a light breeze, a bit more elegant than the normal hotel fare. Possibly a private residence of some sort. The leaves are in their full fall colors outside; it's a pretty shot, if not particularly interesting.

The next image is panned down a little – you can still see the window, the curtains having fluttered to a bit more of a standstill, and there's still some of the view of the outdoors; what's new is the table beneath the window, covered in black cases and wires and triggers.

Bombs. Plenty of them.]


I'm not the first one to note that this world isn't safe.

[And there's the text, moments later.]

Aqua and Magma tried to save the world by destroying each other. Some of you try to save the world by destroying me.

Will you succeed this time?


[The next shot is a bit more casual than most of this nature, though as usual, it seems to be set up across a table of some sort. It's his stance that's different; "Seth" has one forearm braced against the wood, and he's leaning forward heavily enough for his stance to look idle, almost bored. As usual, his face isn't in the shot, but if you look you can see the usual Team Rocket insignia emblazoned across his chest; his free hand is holding one of those white cards that he uses to communicate sometimes, pinning it between gloved fingers; the words written out in thick, blocky writing, traced over multiple times to obscure any sort of distinctive handwriting.

LET'S HAVE A WAR.


The second shot is almost identical to the first; only the writing on the card has changed.

ECRUTEAK CITY.

ONE WEEK.





[OOC]

[While the IC timing of this is going to be as he said – the attack will be taking place on the 14th of the month – the log itself will go up on the 10th and will be forward-dated, to circumvent possible continuity issues.

More details about how we're going to run this thing will be forthcoming!]

[Okay, so at first Cobra's just laughing and laughing about this.

He'll stop eventually.

Probably.

Okay, he's done. For the record approves of this in case the ridiculous amount of cackling didn't make that clear.]


Here's hoping they fail!

[Honestly, he's not sure why you like ruining Ecruteak so much Kimblee, but given his neverending grudge against Azalea Town and the Slowpoke Well, he's hardly one to talk.]

And thank you for the advance warning. I was planning on visssiting Johto in the relatively near future, and now I know to posssstpone a trip through that area.

[He'd hate to get blown up or caught in the middle of the righteous hero bomb disposal squad that he's sure will form to deal with this.]

Thanksgiving is on the 27th. If you're going to take part in some good old-fashioned inter-city warfare, I suggest waiting until then.

Ooh, another one so soon?

[First she gets a swird-monster, then the chance to cut loose in battle against a bunch of pirate LARPers, and now this? The holidays last a long time in Johto, it seems.]

What the hell is this.

[What else did you expect her to say?]

[personal profile] nvcr 2014-11-07 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. So this is just your everyday seething bloodlust. Well then, good luck! :D

[He has a feeling you'll need it, mysterious threat.]

A threat. Obviously.

It's ridiculous

[personal profile] stitchedupbodyguard 2014-11-07 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It can't be just a threat, those bombs look too real. [Bit of a bomb expert herself. She could tell if something was just a dud or not.]

I guess I think it's ridiculous that you're posting about it.
nvcr: (NEAT)

[personal profile] nvcr 2014-11-07 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Gladly.

I'll admit, I'm not entirely all for the indiscriminate attacks upon random cities, but listen: nothing and nowhere is ever safe. Also, all of has have survived everything up until this point, so. Well. Probably for the best that we have some warning in advance.]
stitchedupbodyguard: (not sure if)

[personal profile] stitchedupbodyguard 2014-11-07 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Interesting, huh?

[Sigh. What a pain.]

It sounds like you really believe in yourself to do this. Or, you're just stupid enough to boast on a network full of people who just saved the region.
nvcr: (in the late afternoon sunlight)

[personal profile] nvcr 2014-11-07 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, you've got a point there.

Exactly how long have you been working this out, anyway? I mean, this isn't like some sentient patch of haze deciding to stop by town and poison everyone; you've obviously put some work into everything.
stitchedupbodyguard: (Grumpy face)

[personal profile] stitchedupbodyguard 2014-11-07 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
And how often has it worked?
scizor_sister: Nui smiling at an off-screen explosion (yay explosions!)

Re: [Rocket Frequency]

[personal profile] scizor_sister 2014-11-07 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The past few months, I'd say.

[Fun as you are, sir, it's not enough fun to make her change formats.]

If you're lucky, that stupid goat might show up again.

[Bitter? Nui? Noooooooo.]
stitchedupbodyguard: (Totally sneaking)

[personal profile] stitchedupbodyguard 2014-11-07 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
So, not often then.

[That's what she's getting from this.]
