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 obviously think of this as a game, so how bout a small rule change? I'm tired of playing hide-and-seek with you, and the fields ain't even that way. no one knows what you're planning, so you're always one step ahead

[As much as he hates to admit it.]

now if you lemme know beforehand? that's more like it. we can at least be in the same town at the time you do something and I can finally meet you face to face. and before you ask, no, I wouldn't tell the police. knowing 'em, they'd do shit bout it anyway

you up for the challenge?

THAT'S DISAPPOINTING. I HAVEN'T HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE LOCAL POLICE BUT LETTING A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL DO AS HE PLEASES FOR SIX MONTHS IS COMPLETELY APPALLING.

I AM GOING TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE ANOTHER SIX MONTHS TO RUN AROUND AND COMMIT CRIMES LIKE THIS.

*Hikari doesn't answer for the moment, trying to think of what to say. Of course she knew about that, anyone who went to school would know about it, but that was a horrible point of view to have about other people.*

So, you think that anyone who's weak should die?
beforethedarkness: (What are you doing?)

So you're no where close to being a leader in Team Rocket.
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-09-10 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I suppose that if you have actual accomplishments to your name, you may be justified in considering it confidence.

[personal profile] beforethedarkness 2012-09-10 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Good to know. Is there anything else you can tell me about Team Rocket?
snapandscoot: (hmm)

[[When she sees this new text, Emmy feels a familiar stab of fear, of discomfort, but the intensity has waned somewhat. Now that she's actually faced this person in battle, she's got a figure to connect to the (admittedly still) faceless texts.

She doesn't hesitate when the opportunity is given, starting off with what feels like the most pressing of the dozens of questions floating through her mind.]]


How did you summon those lightning attacks?

Electrocution, probably some maiming if it's even allowed in this fucking world.
snapandscoot: (tarnation!!)

[[....well. At least it's an answer.]]

So you can't do it any more, then? That's good to hear, at least.

You're not exactly alone there.

[[Because really, it was rather rude.]]

I want to talk to you about what you told me on the roof. About your 'war'.

What happens when you don't get it?
snapandscoot: (Get used to it!)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2012-09-11 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
We'd get into a frightfully stupid argument about how deluded you are; seems a bit of a waste of time if you're on a tight schedule.
snapandscoot: (unimpressed tbh)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2012-09-11 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still waiting for an answer to my question! You're horribly rude!
snapandscoot: (Anger)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2012-09-11 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
And what's that supposed to mean?
