[Video 001]

[bleedingunversed]

[The video snapping on is thanks to a certain little ghost, Vanitas's Phantump--that he's taken to calling Flood--hovering several feet away from where her trainer is. Said young man is standing over a young boy that's sitting on the ground crying, smirking as he tosses a Pokeball up and down in his hand.]

Some top percentage Pokemon.

[The tossing motion stops, his hand closing around the Pokeball as he glances down at his Houndour who's still growling lowly at the young boy.]

Not bad. I guess there are some worthwhile monsters out here.

[Vanitas turns away from the crying boy--"Give me back my Rattata!"--and spots his Phantump messing around with his 'gear as he tucks the captured Pokemon away. His eyes narrow and the Houndour at his side seems to glare at the ghost Pokemon--and, in turn, the camera--as well.]

What are you doing?

[His Phantump let's out an echo-y giggle, the video going shaky before snapping off just as Vanitas starts snapping out an order.]

Who are you?

[It takes a moment for the response to come because he has to process what he's looking at. There's something about this kid that's familiar and it's not just the face--]

You're that kid.

[bleedingunversed]

That's why I said 'that kid' idiot.







Is Ventus here?

[bleedingunversed]

He was annoying me. That's why I took it. I'm probably just going to toss it out.

Good.

[bleedingunversed]

Where's the fun in that?

Why would I want that idiot around? He's worthless; he already proved as much.

[He's lying.]

[bleedingunversed]

I don't care that he's not around.

[bleedingunversed]

No idea.

[bleedingunversed]

Why would I?

Since you appear to be new, I'll give you a bit of advice first. Please return that Pokémon to its proper owner, before someone reports this to the local authorities. Or decides to take matters into their own hands.

Most people here take the theft of Pokémon very seriously, and may respond accordingly.

*including the sender of this message himself, not that he plans to say anything further on the point for now. Do may be another matter entirely though...*

[bleedingunversed]

Aw do people get all bent out of shape about stealing here, too? Damn.

If this is some sort of threat, I look forward to the challenge.

[dreamsofahero]

*there's no further response whatsoever. Perhaps it really was just a friendly piece of advice?

That, or whoever sent it is waiting to see how things play out, if you want to take the paranoid approach to it*

Give the kid back his pokemon.

If you want a mouse so bad, get one yourself.

[bleedingunversed]

Let me think about that.

No.

[islandshore]

[Here we have Riku, now around twenty-two, giving a slow applause with a deadpan look.]

Wow, Vanitas. If you were that desperate for a rat, they're not exactly in short supply.

Text

[bleedingunversed]

I don't care about the rat. The kid was annoying.

So I took the rat.

[islandshore]

Wow. Real mature.

What're you gonna do next? Start taking candy from toddlers?

[bleedingunversed]

You know what? That's a great idea.

I'll add it to my to-do list.

[islandshore]

You know, at this rate, I'm surprised you're not a Rocket.

All that textbook villainy's right up their alley.

[bleedingunversed]

What's a Rocket?

Maybe I should consider it.

[islandshore]

Hmm.

I COULD tell you.

But then I'd be encouraging someone to go out and commit further crimes.

Not sure if that's the model thing to do. It might weigh on my conscience for the rest of my life, y'know?

[bleedingunversed]

Right.

Well as interesting as that conversation was, you're boring.

Whoever you are.

[islandshore]

Because I'm mature enough not to pick on little kids? Heh, suit yourself, buddy.

Just keep in mind that you're surrounded by plenty of trainers who could easily curbstomp your team. Mess with the wrong people, and it could backfire big time.

Not that I'm gonna chase you down, but judging by the reactions here, you haven't made the greatest first impression.

[bleedingunversed]

Oh no now I feel bad and I'm so scared.

[islandshore]

Ah, sarcasm. Handy little tool, isn't it?

Here's a real question. What would you do if you came up against someone with something bigger than a rat?

[bleedingunversed]

Been there, done that. Still alive.

If you're trying to scare me it's not working.

[islandshore]

But you had powers, then, didn't you?

All I'm saying is that you shouldn't let your ego run awol. Here, you're a newbie. A sassy newbie with a bad attitude, but you've got a lot to learn.

[bleedingunversed]

Guess I better shape up then!

Get my manners in order and start acting just like Ventus!

[islandshore]

You. Acting like Ven.

Pfff, wow. Sarcasm aside, I'd almost pay to see that.

[bleedingunversed]

That would be Sora.

And now I'm bored. So we're done.

[greatrage]

Did you... did you just steal that kid's pokémon?

Give it back.

[bleedingunversed]

No.

[greatrage]

How about I rephrase.

Give it back, or I'll shove my foot so far up your ass you'll taste leather, you Rocket scum.

[bleedingunversed]

That's the second time someone's called me a Rocket.

Apparently I need to look into whatever a Rocket is.

[FFFFFFFFFFFF TAKE HIS THREATS SERIOUSLY U ASSSSSHOOOOLLLLEEEEEE >:C]

Did you not just hear me threaten you, you piece of shit?

Re: video;

[bleedingunversed]

[HAHAHA nope.]

Oh was that serious?

[greatrage]

Dead serious, you punk!

[bleedingunversed]

Oh.

You really need to work on your threats then, friend.

Because that was pretty pathetic.

[greatrage]

Why does it have to sound scary? That's stupid. Words aren't gonna kick your ass, after all. It'll be my foot.

[bleedingunversed]

Well I'm on Mt. Mortar so by all means.

Come kick my ass.

[greatrage]

[Pauseeeeee.....]

.... You're lucky your punk-ass is in Johto. But I won't forget your face.

[bleedingunversed]

Okay.

Whatever you say.
