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...]

[Of course it does. All his shyness and humility gets old.]

[Hostages? Blake doesn't miss that the kid doesn't specify whether he was one of them or the guy taking them.]


All right, kid. Start at the beginning.

At least we're outside though!

[He seems pretty pleased with that. But he does understand what Ishimaru's saying and he nods.]

Yeah, it'll be difficult, but it's nothing we can handle together, aniki! We'll figure this place out!

S-same to you, Ishimaru-kun. It's a relief. [ He's smiling, albeit a bit awkwardly because... well, the fact that this conversation is even happening is weird as balls since Naegi has no idea how or why Ishimaru managed to return from the dead. It's basically one big ball of "What the gently caress is actually going on here where is Kirigiri-san when I need her" on Naegi's end, honestly. He wants to outright ask him about it but asking someone why they're not dead probably wouldn't fly well. ]

I'll try to get to Goldenrod as quickly as possible, so let's share our findings there. I'm sure we'll be able to shed some light on the situation.
lieutenantantichrist: (why'd you even let him in the game)

[personal profile] lieutenantantichrist 2013-04-25 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy shit, kid.

[Blake wasn't expecting that.]

[But he should have been. Is it somebody's idea of a sick joke that almost every kid here's been kidnapped, a hostage, or nearly murdered?]


Where is this school? What the hell are the police doing? A situation like that can't escape notice for long.
strongestoftheturks: (Not happy)

[personal profile] strongestoftheturks 2013-04-25 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Right before he leaves, something occurs to him and he looks back at Ishimaru.]

This conversation...it never happened.

[And he means it. He may not be Team Rocket's number one worker but if the shiola hits the fan and Ishimaru really goes through with trying to overthrow a criminal organization, then he doesn't want his name mentioned as a potential helper or the guy who let the dissenter run free.]

We clear?
seasidecherry: (really? thank you!)

It's a little complicated to explain it, but I'm from the future. When I'm from, space travel is pretty normal. I was born and grew up on Lancastar, which is a mining planet. Then, after I passed the auditions to join the idol group AKB0048, I moved to their home planet. That's Akibastar!

[She is nothing if not absolutely cheerful and earnest.]

It's something I've always believed. I know that we're going to have rivalries and stuff like that, because those things happen. But in the end, it's coming together with other people that makes someone shine the brightest.

Well, you can always replay messages on your gear as needed, so you can write it down later!

Another universe, to put it simply! I am not from any of the Earths people speak about.

NOT PERTH. EARTH. SORRY IF THAT CAUSED ANY CONFUSION. I ONLY SPECIFIED THE PLANET BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SORT OF PERSON WILL TURN UP HERE.

[Hopefully that clears up any misunderstanding.]

[personal profile] soundmind 2013-04-26 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Yep. If life had sound effects like it presently has background music, Maka would definitely be going jiiiiiiii~]

You should be polite and respectful to your partner Pokemon.
ghostytrainer: (well you see i made myself in a lab.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-26 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's exactly right! I mean, trainers are supposed to work on getting all the badges and catching and training the strongest Pokémon. And breeders are supposed to work towards powerful breeding combinations and what not but nobody actually enforces this. You aren't going to get sent back home if you don't do it or anything like that.

[He pauses for a moment, thinking.]

Maybe "supposed to" was the wrong word to use. "Strongly encouraged" probably would have been better.
enjoymyatelier: have fun storming the castle, kayneth (a totally honorable mage duel)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2013-04-27 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[...that's more than he's become accustomed to getting despite feeling as though he deserves it, so he'll at least look somewhat pleased...]

It's my pleasure as well, Mr. Ishimaru. Anyway, most of the attempts that have been made have been similar to what you just did-there are no leads whatsoever on who or what we should even consider looking at as a suspect.
superordinary: (pic#5882425)

[personal profile] superordinary 2013-04-27 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the spirit, Ishimaru-kun! I'll contact you guys once I'm there, all right?
lieutenantantichrist: (why'd you even let him in the game)

[personal profile] lieutenantantichrist 2013-04-27 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
A fucking week? Somebody's gotta be doing something.

[The view moves as Carter begins pacing in frustration.]

Jesus Christ, between that and the kid whose parents sold his organs to the yakuza, what the hell is wrong with the Japanese police?

What do you mean, no contact? If it's a whole school of kids, there has to be a bunch of phones around.
