016. [Anonymous Text + Images]

[And tonight, with no fanfare, a text hits the network. Completely anonymous, as always; those who have done their homework would recognize the 'Gear number as the one ascribed to the device that's been showing off several other attacks that have been broadcast to the network.]

Good evening, Johto.

The last few times we've spoken have been a bit unbalanced, wouldn't you agree?


[Ah, there are the pictures. Still images from the attack on the square in front of the Goldenrod Department Store, along with a few other images - the attack on the Kimono Girls and against a few random civilians, the Goldenrod Pokémon Center being destroyed. Little unpleasantries like that. Scroll past them and the text will pick back up, don't worry.]

You've told me so much about yourselves, during those attacks. I've gotten to know several of you quite well, actually.

For the time being, I would like to even the playing field a little. It will keep things interesting, I think.

From the time that you contact me onward, you have an hour to ask me anything you like. I can't guarantee you'll like or be satisfied with the answers, but it'll be better than nothing, I imagine; anything is up for discussion, short of my current location.

And don't worry - I'll introduce myself, just to spare you some time.


[There's one more image after the text ends; it's the sort of picture that usually closes out these transmissions to the network - a shot of the Rocket agent in question from the chest down to about the waist. The room behind him is dark, though it appears to be a meeting room of some sort, if you squint; the Rocket insignia emblazoned across his shirt is clearly visible above his hands, which are obscured by the pale gloves that come with the uniform. Instead of the usual Pokéballs clasped in his hands, however, there's a white card with a few words written on it in thick, blocky writing, as though someone had written the letters and gone over them repeatedly, rendering them unidentifiable through handwriting alone. The words are highly visible, standing out against the stark, glaring white of the card in the flash of the camera:

MY NAME IS SETH.

PLEASED TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.

You're the only one right now, and that's all I'm concerned about.

And only an idiot would believe your name is actually Seth. If you ask me, you're just trying to derail anyone from really finding out who you are... In order to keep the upper hand.


[In other words, he's calling you a liar.]
enjoymyatelier: dude i am running out of variations on smug (all smug all the time)

You misunderstand me. If it seemed as though there would be no challenge whatsoever in tracking you down, I wouldn't have bothered with this at all, as it wouldn't have been worth my time. You had proven yourself to be more interesting than I expected during our last encounter-so, of course, I can only assume it won't be that easy.

[brb filing this information away for later.]

Good to know, at least you're consistent.

If there are so many like you, are you all working together?

Good. Then that will be all for now. I'll leave you to your tormenting of the rest of the network.
beforethedarkness: (What are you doing?)

[Text] Good, I am not the only edit monster in Route. =w=

[personal profile] beforethedarkness 2012-09-04 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What about your organization? What's their goal?

YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION? THE FBI?

[Is this for real?]

IT'S A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY THAT WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH THE LOCAL PDS TO PUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU BEHIND BARS.

[And has no jurisdiction here since he's not even in the right world, let alone the right country, but still!]
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-09-05 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, first off-what are you after? I'm not sure what you're hoping to accomplish with any of this.

So what is it that you want then? What could possibly justify all this in your mind?
canthearyou: (I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU)

[personal profile] canthearyou 2012-09-05 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I AM NEW. JUST GOT HERE THE OTHER DAY IN FACT.

[And as a result most of New Bark Town probably needs their hearing checked now.]

AND JURISDICTION MIGHT NOT BE A PROBLEM. I'VE ALREADY GOT SOME AGENTS HERE, AND I'M SURE SOMETHING CAN BE WORKED OUT. IN CASES LIKE THESE, I'VE FOUND THAT EVEN THE MOST UNCOOPERATIVE POLICE DEPARTMENTS CAN WORK TOGETHER TO PUT A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL LIKE YOU AWAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

[He hasn't met the Johto police yet though.]

[Well, that doesn't tell him much about the guy, does it... aside maybe from the fact he sounds kinda bland, at least in Crow's mind.]

hey you said the part bout blood not me

and you've never wanted to give a name up until now so don't expect me to buy this one's real

one more thing

where are you gonna attack next?
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-09-06 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
So, your solution to this is essentially going around making huge, destructive spectacles on behalf of an organization that relies entirely on crude tactics? I've noticed that people here are ridiculously complacent, but if they're going to be complacent with the completely random nature of this place then I'm not sure what can shake them. You will have people chasing after you, but that will only be a fraction of the populace.

[personal profile] soggypastry 2012-09-06 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you'd be right about that. I prefer to know who I'm dealing with before doing anything stupid. Less trouble that way.

But what's that matter to you? Aren't the reckless ones more fun?
beforethedarkness: (Classic Uchiha Brooding Pose)

[Text forever!] Sorry for the slow by the way, brain kinda fizzled on this one.

[personal profile] beforethedarkness 2012-09-06 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause between texts before the next one comes. This one is definitely going to show how new he is here, and he's not sure he wants that. The desire to know, however, wins in the end.]

What's the name of the organization?

I'll get you, one of these fucking days.

[No he doesn't seem amused at this at all, Seth. Not at all.]
