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...]

[End feed!
...Ishimaru, please...]
no subject
[...kind of making him question what your parents were on at the moment, ngl...]
...very unique!
no subject
Sure.
You new here?
[Always the trick question. Besides, he had to be new, otherwise he wouldn't be staring into the sky like he'd never seen one before.]
no subject
I only just arrived a few hours ago - I haven't had much time to get my bearings! Do you have information about this place? Because if you do, I would like to ask that it be shared!
no subject
I know a few things.
[Wait.]
You spent the last few hours staring at the sky?
no subject
[...Radio Tower.]
no subject
Did they listen to you?
no subject
[...it does not even seem to occur to him that he could be talking to a cop or a high-ranking Rocket or...someone he just shouldn't be talking to, good lord.]
I'll come to a solution eventually - I clearly just haven't studied the situation enough.
no subject
It's dangerous to talk about your job like that.
1/2
[...
... ... ...
... ... ... ... ...]
no subject
One of them, aren't you...
no subject
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.
no subject
An organization like that won't last forever.
no subject
no subject
...nngh.
It's not to the point of freaking him out just yet, but he's becoming increasingly aware that there's probably something he's not reading properly. He's always had issues with talking to people properly, but...]
And do you plan on outlasting it, or making sure it outlasts us?
no subject
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.
no subject
[He's quick to snap to attention again, keeping his hands down to his sides; you can receive another brief bow for your effort.]
However, I do intend to see to it that justice will prevail - it's what I'm noted for back home, and that won't change here!
no subject
There's nothing else left of note that Rude wants to talk about though, so it's time for him to take his leave.]
I'll see you around then, Ishimaru.
no subject
Likewise, Rude-san; I'll be sure to remember you!
no subject
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?
no subject
Understood, sir.
no subject
[With that, Rude nods at him one last time, holding Ishimaru's gaze for a second longer before he leaves. Something tells him though that this won't be their last meeting; he'll probably hear of something about the kid soon enough.]
