001. Action for Goldenrod City/Video

[ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]

[Well, if you're on the streets this evening in the general vicinity of the Radio Tower, you will likely come across a figure in what looks like a cross between a white gakuran and a military uniform (no, seriously, those boots cannot be school issue, can they?); he's got his arms folded tightly across his chest, almost as though he's cold despite being nothing of the sort, and he's staring rather intently upward.

Not at anything in particular. Just looking up at the sky.

However, if you're close enough (and you're probably close enough because he is pretty much the opposite of subtle), it'll be fairly obvious that he's probably not seeing much of anything despite the intensity of his gaze, given that he's got an impressive amount of tears going on. Like, "that should probably not be coming out of human eyes" levels of impressive. Holy shit. Tears. All over. Like he's seen the face of God or something.

Someone might want to poke him or make sure his brain hasn't just shorted out or something, he'll be here all night otherwise.]



[VIDEO]

[Hello, Johto! Sometime this evening you are being treated to some serious jittercam, courtesy of one of your newer arrivals (after he's come out of whatever trance he was in earlier because good lord almighty there is sky out here). It's not quite enough to make you seasick, but more than enough to make you wonder exactly how it is your life has come to this and who gave the complete amateur a camera before everything seems to even out. The video eventually seems to settle on a rather...uh, severe-looking kid with short, dark hair, red eyes and eyebrows that go forever, and whatever he's doing, he seems deeply annoyed with it, goodness. Who invited the spawn of Satan to the Poképarty...

And then he seems to figure out that he is, in fact, filming, and his response is so immediately joyful it'll give you whiplash if you are not properly strapped in. His grin is open and incredibly genuine, the expression entirely unguarded; he sets the device down on a table in front of him, as he appears to be outside still, and he immediately starts waving at it a bit - both through utter glee and trying to see if it actually is tracking properly.]


Ha ha ha - so it does work! This is excellent news, excellent! Now, if I can get it to -

[His voice is a bit odd - it's loud and enthusiastic, but it's strangely blunted, as though he hasn't...quite worked out how voice inflection works but dammit, he's trying. He reaches out while he talks, the conversation dissolving into rather pleased muttering to himself as he tries to turn off the 'Gear and promptly...uh, sends the video, good job.]


[VIDEO, TWO MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST]

[Well, Captain Eyebrows here seems to have gotten himself under a bit more control, though the amount of volume is still going to make people why he even bothered with a video - surely he can be heard in Kanto by now. He's clearly trying to sound authoritative; the effect is just...horribly shouty.]

My name is Ishimaru Kiyotaka, a student of the 78th annual class at Hope's Peak Academy! It's excellent to have a way to contact all of you, even if the situation that's brought it about is very weird indeed!

Whoever is responsible for this turn of events, I would like to both thank you for your generosity regarding the situation, and yet express my general confusion at what it is you expect me to do here! It would be appreciated if I could thank you in person - or...speak to you properly or knew who you were...hm.

[He...seems to have lost himself for a moment, hang on - ]

At any rate - if I've learned anything in my studies of others, it's that cooperation is the best way to ensure success! If you could introduce yourselves and tell me where it is you come from, I would be very grateful - let's make the most of this weird situation by working hard and working together!

[End feed!

...Ishimaru, please...]
seasidecherry: (and be happy!)

It's nice to meet you, Ishimaru-san! My name is Nagisa Motomiya. I'm originally from Lancastar, but I've lived on Akibastar for the past year - well, before I came here, anyway.

I think if we all work together, we all make each other shine brighter, so let's definitely do that!

[Gordon's not exactly sure what the enthusiastic young man is going on about, but sure he'll introduce himself.]

GORDON COLE. I'M FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ON THE PLANET EARTH.

[Ah...]

Did they listen to you?
strongestoftheturks: (Facepalm)

[Rude actually face palms; this is the second new member he's met that just let slip their Rocket identity. There should be a course somewhere on this.]

It's dangerous to talk about your job like that.

[That sure is a guy just hanging out staring at the sky, all right.

...

...wonder what he's looking at.

Doesn't seem to be anything particularly special up there in the sky. No blimps or airplanes or satellites or meteors or anything. Just sky. Big wide open sky.

...

...maybe whatever he's looking at, you have to be over there to see it...?

Huh. Welp, one way to find out.


HEY, ISHIMARU, HAVE A PARKER SILENTLY POPPING UP NEXT TO YOU (like magic, seriously, how does she do that?) TO JOIN YOU IN STARING INTENTLY AT THE SKY.]
strongestoftheturks: (Looking over)

[personal profile] strongestoftheturks 2013-04-25 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Rude doesn't give him an answer, but that might be enough of an answer on it's own.]

You get caught, you're going to jail. It's that simple.

[So watch what you say and to whom you're saying it to. He hasn't formed enough loyalty to Team Rocket just yet to report Ishimaru, and frankly he's not too happy about the situation either.]

There's no retirement plan for Rocket grunts anyway.
nostabbing: (DRINK ⚡ aww yeah coffee-fueled larceny)

because there is something seriously wrong with her

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[So.

Sky, tho.

Sure is some sky right up there in the, y'know, yonder.

...

She's kinda not getting the whole staring at it thing though.

maybe

we need to go deeper?

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM.

Actually it's a pretty good thing she's never seen Inception or she might've actually made that particular noise there with her actual mouth right here. Legit.

Still just starin' at that sky, bro.]
strongestoftheturks: (Dangerous)

[personal profile] strongestoftheturks 2013-04-25 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
That just means you have to outlast it.
nostabbing: (INTERJECT ⚡ actually that's really dumb)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, anytime, eyebrowbro. That sky up there sure ain't gonna look at itself.

...Because it's not like it has eyes.

Unlike potatoes. Potatoes have eyes.

Which is pretty weird, if you think about it, because potato roots come out of potato eyes, but roots are like the potato feet, which means that potatoes have feet coming out of their eyes, and that's pretty weird.

Like can you imagine a foot just coming out of your eye? That'd be weird.

Like instead of crying veritable rivers of tears you'd be crying veritable rivers of feet. Feetears. Footears. Footies. Tears. Things. Yeah.

Meanwhile, some brave person who hasn't been completely put off by the sheer WTFery of these two random people breaking their necks staring up at exactly nothing in the heavens above makes the unfortunate mistake of brushing past Parker, which means she not only gets their wallet and half the contents of their pocket, but a rather nice monogrammed handkerchief, as well. Nifty.

Silently, she holds it out to Ishimaru, still not looking away from the sky.

Here you go, man.]

[Not-open threatening is definitely good. You want not-open threatening Rude.]

That's my business.

[Because honestly? He doesn't care. He's not even sure what he's going to do here for now. So until he can think of something else, he's going to be neutral. Besides, the Turks are meant to be obfucating, otherwise they wouldn't be going on all those secret missions.]

It's just some friendly advice. Take it or leave it.

[Oh, good, he said something. Now that the spell of silence is broken, she can finally get an answer to the Great Sky Mystery of '13.]

What are we looking at?

[...what?]
