1 � [VIDEO/ACTION FOR THE GOLDENROD ROCKET BASE/ROUTE 34]

[ACTION]

[It's a quietish, average day in the Goldenrod Rocket base, although that silence is soon broken rather aggressively by the sound of a shout-]

I'll show you what I think of your "uniform violation"!

[Suddenly, there's another shout, and if you're lucky enough to be standing near the doorway where first one came from, you'll be treated to the sight of a Random Grunt being hurled out of it.

That...yep, he's definitely airborne, and doesn't seem too pleased about it. At least his flight is short, as he soon lands in a heap amongst a nearby group of metal bins with a deafening crash. He seems uninjured, if...extremely dazed, and it isn't long before his assailant comes exploding out of the door.

...all five, furious feet of her.]


There! Right in the rubbish, where bullies like you belong!

[The source of the argument quickly becomes apparent now that the young woman is in view; she's wearing the typical female grunt uniform, but only the hat, shirt and skirt. Instead of the regulation boots, she's wearing a pair of knee-high green boots, and a pair of white tights underneath her skirt.

Apparently, someone hadn't agreed with her alterations. To add insult to injury, a Lillipup immediately runs up and starts furiously barking at the Grunt (as tiny dogs are want to do), although her trainer doesn't seem interested in doing anything to call her off.]


Hmph!

[Gripping the brim of her cap, the woman straightens it angrily, muttering darkly to herself as she looks up and down the hall. Her anger is quickly abating in favour of confusion, and perhaps a little bit of despair.]

And I still don't know where the exit is...this place is more of a maze than Misthallery!

~~

[VIDEO]

[Some time later, Emmy has finally managed to puzzle her way out of the Rocket Base and into the heart of Goldenrod City (ensuring, of course, that she changed out of the uniform before she left). While a few subtle things are slightly different, on the whole...it feels like she never left.

It's enough to make her want to just...sit down for a bit - so she does, after walking briskly to the outskirts of the city and collapsing on the grass with a sigh. Her two Pokemon, Lillipup and Scraggy, having been in dutiful pursuit since she left the base, similarly crash down to the ground nearby and look at her expectantly.

All in all, they make a rather amusing picture. It's now that she's using the Gear - still lying in the grass, with it held up in her outstretched arm.

Her chosen camera angle is about more than just a lack of desire to stand up, however - the last time she was brought to Johto, she arrived in New Bark Town. Of course, the last time she was in Johto, she hadn't been automatically enlisted in Team Rocket, and the whole fiasco has made her rather suspicious. If there is a chance that Goldenrod City arrivals and Team Rocket are linked...she can't afford to broadcast her current location to the entire network. Best to be safe, and solve the puzzle later. This way, with only her upper body and the grass in view, she could be anywhere. Hopefully, people will assume she's somewhere between New Bark Town and...oh, what was it called...Cherrygrove! Yes!]


Ah, hello there! My name is Emmy!



[With a slightly awkward, yet friendly wave, Emmy chases any negative thoughts out of her head and focuses on smiling for the camera. It's been so long since she's done this - the whole experience feels rather surreal, yet there's a strong feeling of deja vu.]

I was just wondering...well, if any of you happened to recognize me! You see, I've actually been here in Johto before, and it looks like it wants me back for Round 2!

[To her credit, she looks and sounds completely sincere. Continuing to smile, Emmy shifts slightly on the grass and adjusts her grip on the Gear.]

I don't really expect any of my old friends to still be here, but I thought I'd ask anyway! Other than that...well! Do any of you have any good battling Pokemon to recommend?

[Laughing softly, Emmy beckons to something off-screen; soon, her Lillipup trots into the frame and rolls onto her back so she can look at the camera too, tail wagging furiously.]

At the moment I've only got this cutie, so I'm going to need some suggestions! I'm no beginner, so hit me with whatever you've got!

Thanks for listening, and have a good day!

[And with that, the feed is cut.]

[You know, he has missed this, in some ways. The quaint fury always seems to be aimed in such strange directions...]

...Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about the uniform - you technically would be violating the rules we have in place regarding that - but there are ways around it. I never wear it myself, honestly, and the male uniform isn't nearly so...ah, revealing.

I do hope you haven't done anything worthy of reprimand already, however...

[He's a doctor, it's patients mostly...! For actually life-saving procedures.

Or so we want to believe.]


Then it seems whoever brought us here has been picking from diverse worlds. I couldn't imagine a world without monsters.

[Or Spyrix and spirits, but he digresses.]

But yes, you do have a point. I'm sure I'll find plenty of other opportunities to use my own abilities, besides. You certainly didn't have trouble with that yourself.

[He's looking down at Bin Grunt himself now, smirking all the while.]
explosivecombat: (Someone needs to listen more carefully)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2014-09-15 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
You're going to have to deal with that, unfortunately; that sort of thing isn't acceptable from here on, as far as the organization is concerned.
islandshore: (... let's not go there)

Yep. In fact...

[He sets the 'Gear down for a second, then moves over to the PC. It might take a minute or two, but before long, he's back with a Heavy Ball in hand. From that ball, he summons...

A big, metallic spider-tank thing. Said tank is currently dozing, completely unaware that he's been removed from his ball at all.

...Welp.]


Okay, so believe it or not, they're not actually metallic Snorlaxes with spider legs. They're kinda on the slow side, but they make up for it by being sturdy, reliable, and heavy-hitters all in one. Kinda makes them stand out compared to other Psychic types.
explosivecombat: (Go on and keep that up)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2014-09-15 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[And he remembers this entire discussion, given that they've had it before and he simply doesn't forget things; he's somehow not surprised that she doesn't remember it, as this place tends to be like that.]

So you're just going to be compliant with your lot because "it's like fate thinks you deserve it"...? How hideously depressing.

Do you have control over your actions here or not?

[...Emmy, can we at least try to have subtlety...]

And if you try to do what I think you're insinuating, that would be a very unwise decision on your part, but I'm not going to stop you from doing it.

Emmy!

[Well someone looks happy to see you! As usual Isaac doesn't seem to realize what he's doing with his face, so sorry for... that.]

It's been awhile! You just got back? That's great!

[...wait.]

Well, uh, it's not great that you were dragged away from home, but uh...

[...Nothing has changed with him, obviously.]
glaciates: (EXCITED ❅ gonna ride a glacier brb)

[personal profile] glaciates 2014-09-15 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm good. Nothing much to report though. Ah, I don't mean that's a bad thing though! It's kind of nice that everything just sort of stays the same here.

[Jimmy's expression falls a bit more, but it doesn't look...sad, quite so much. It looks more like he's incredibly disappointed.]

Spore was stolen from me by somebody I was traveling with, at the time. He ended up giving him back and apologized for it, but...I dunno, I gave him a second chance, but I can't trust him as much after that.

...can I, Emmy? I mean, you think that's fair, don't you?

[NOT TO DUMP SUDDEN PROBLEMS ON YOU BUT....yeah this sure was a thing.]
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[HE'S HOMESICK AND HE'S GOING TO DIE AND HIS FIANCEE DOESN'T LOVE HIM AND HE KEEPS GETTING WEIRD POKEMON DUMPED ON HIM

okay it'll probably just be that last one.]


Oh, I certainly do. I feel like if there's a limit, I may run up on it... but in any case, that's unfortunate to hear. Though, you really couldn't have shown up at a more interesting time to start collecting again --- we've had a plethora of unknown Pokemon showing up practically every day.

[...he totally wasn't gonna do that, perish the thought...!

Someone's probably gonna have to stop him.]


At least I now know that uniform discussion with you is off-limits.

[He's joking for the most part. But if something that trifling is enough to set her off under the right circumstances, he wonders what else could. Hmmm.]

That's right. I'm a medical doctor. I'm sure you can guess what sort of work that entails.

[A hand moves toward the inside of his jacket, but he frowns when he remembers his scalpels are missing. Ugh, how he wants to just twirl one in his fingers right now...]

Simply put, I save lives.

[And yet he's in Team Rocket, so...that's definitely strange, isn't it?]
enjoymyatelier: staring at his butt (well i'm sure it's none of my business)

Well, the first two days of this month we had shell-shocked kittens and scruffy poodles falling from the sky, and since then, among other things, we've had strangely Dragon-resistant geode creatures and luchador... well, I'm not entirely sure if I'd call them birds, necessarily, but that's probably the best descriptor I can think of.

It's been... interesting.
