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.

[... Well, he doesn't really fancy the idea of playing this game on that guy's rules, but...]

why the hell do you do this? the attacks, I mean

and don't give me some "take over the world" bullshit


[Because that's the most idiotic thing he's ever heard and he judges Cobra for it.]
darkenedgales: (spying on clowns is an awesome hobby)

so mostly for profit and cause you can

[He'll just frown and shake his head on his end. He can't... really comprehend reasons like those.]

and you're okay with hurting people just for that?
darkenedgales: (what makes you think i stole it?)

[text forever!!]

darkenedgales: (we could make it look like an accident)

[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?
darkenedgales: (your god is a big fat whale)

[personal profile] darkenedgales 2012-09-09 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
yeah cause you know me so fucking well to know what I'm gonna say or think

why don't you gimme a call once you've decided then?
darkenedgales: (time for plan B)

[personal profile] darkenedgales 2012-09-09 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
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?
darkenedgales: (think like agatha christie dude.)

[personal profile] darkenedgales 2012-09-11 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
who the hell do you think I am? if I say we're playing fair, I mean it. it's one on one. deal?
darkenedgales: (you can't always get what you want)

[personal profile] darkenedgales 2012-09-11 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
new bark, but I'll be on my way back to goldenrod soon

and I've got one more thing to ask you if I still have time
darkenedgales: (until the morale improves)

[personal profile] darkenedgales 2012-09-12 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
were you the one who fought and injured a woman named Emmy Altava?
darkenedgales: (anatomy got lost in the previous episode)

[personal profile] darkenedgales 2012-09-13 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
one more reason for me to take you down then.
