001 /// Private Rocket Feed - Video

[honourablevillain]

Good evening, Team Rocket.

[A calm, cool greeting sounds on the private network as, at first, the video shows nothing but darkness. Eventually the lens adjusts to show a young man with golden serpentine eyes, his hand petting and rubbing through the crest of a small Murkrow’s feathers whilst a Bagon is glaring at the camera from the man’s other side. He’s sitting, relaxed on the bed in a room that looks identical to so many others in the Rocket Base, before he addresses the pokégear again.]

I suppose this happened to all of you; taken to this world with these creatures – Pokémon? With only the clothes on your backs, pokémon of your own, and this note lying on your desks.

[He waves the note in front of the camera briefly before setting it down and turning back to the lens.]

It’s pointless to ask how to return, is it not? Rather than asking that, I’ll try a different inquiry. What do you have to tell me about Team Rocket? What have you done that makes it a worthy organization to work under?

[[OoC: Responses will come tomorrow as I am just about to go to bed and wanted to get this up even if it's just a slightly modified version of my sample sob. See you all then!]]

Comments

[honourablevillain]

Naturally. I'm not someone who would be satisfied remaining as a grunt for a long period of time.

And what about you, and your intentions?

[licentious]

Well, honestly, I can't say I have many here. I've taken up mostly desk and organizational work, because of how badly my superior needs it. With someone of his [ ...There's a pause here as she tries to find the right word. ] temperament, it's just nice to let him speed off and do whatever act crosses his fancy and I just make sure there's upkeep enough for him to do that. I don't do much on the frontlines. [ Because she really wants the good publicity. Madame Sneasel on the other hand.... ]

[honourablevillain]

Perhaps I'll see you around one of the bases then, depending on your location.

[licentious]

I work in Vermillion City. We deal with mostly imports, but I conduct my own research lab on the outskirts of the town. It's in Kanto, which isn't your region, unless you take the train to Saffron immediately.

[honourablevillain]

I unfortunately have no plans to station myself away from Goldenrod City for some time, as I want to gather some more information about this world first. However, I do not know what the future holds. Perhaps we will have the privilege of meeting one another in the future.

I am Chase Young.

[licentious]

I understand. I stayed in Goldenrod for quite some time myself before being transfered. There's a library, both in the base you are in right now and in the pokécenter that detail various things about this world, with both very interesting and - at times - conflicting perspectives.

I'm Isabella. The pleasure is mine. [ That was obligatory. Sorry, Chase ): ]

[honourablevillain]

Then I'll just have to gather as much information as possible and form my own conclusions from there while training.

Thank you for your time today, Isabella. If I have any other inquiries to make, could I contact you again in the future?

[licentious]

I guess. You should be able to send people messages through the Pokegear. I have an inbox, so, if I cannot reach you, you can leave a message and I will reply to you as soon as I can. Good luck with the training, it will probably not be very eye-opening for someone of your stature.

[honourablevillain]

... It would be better if I left you a message if I wanted to contact you, should I not be able to reach you immediately. But I shall see about getting the automated messaging system working on my pokégear as well.

[Yeah he's not as competent with modern technology as he would like to be yet...]

As for the training, we shall see. It all depends on Team Rocket's expectations and how I measure up to them.

[licentious]

That's fair. The pokégear system is not too difficult to navigate. This technology does not exist in my world, and yet I was able to get the hang of it rather quickly.

[ it's okay. She's from some sort of 1923 world and she's been living since the 1700s. ): ]

That's how people usually assess their future decisions. [ She kinda doesn't think too much of him right now. ]

[honourablevillain]

[That's fine, because he doesn't think too much of her either. Then again, Chase usually doesn't think too highly of anyone.]

Very well. Until next time, then.

[He'll nod curtly before shutting off the feed.]
