7th Match // [video] New Bark Town

[fuelthefire]

[Today's video features Krieg's masked face, as usual, and, gosh, he sounds kind of angry...]

BREAKING NEWS! The salacious sheriff is a liar and a COWARD!

IF YOU CAN'T FIGHT WITHOUT CANNON FODDER TO HIDE BEHIND THEN SHUT UP AND GET OFF THE MURDERTRAIN!!

[Okay, a lot angry. Public Service Announcement dispensed with, he cuts the feed.]

Comments

[He giggles again when she pats his cheek, and then just sort of...looms nearby to watch the hand reattachment process.]

You shoot off their legs and I'll slice their throats!

[Happy teamwork is the best teamwork! Then he grunts noncommittally at her next question, and shrugs.]

I thought we were already.

[So, it shouldn't matter, right?]

[2hellwiththe1stlaw]

[It takes a few minutes and a lot of wiggling from the Pekipek's beak before it clicks into place and she wiggles her fingers experimentally.]

Pfft, no way. We're the heroes. We beat the big corporate sleaze, saved whatever parts of Pandora were worth saving, and we're gonna go hunt down the rest of the vaults to make sure no more Handsomejerkoffs can use them.

....oh shit, do you think Jack knows about the other vaults? Or like...does he only think they're on Pandora?

[fuelthefire]

[Krieg shrugs.]

Jack's dead. What he knows doesn't matter.

[If he knows anything from listening to people in this place talk, it's that if Jack ever gets sent back to Pandora, he'll go right on back to being dead. Which is satisfying, if he forgets for the moment that Angel is also dead, and what applies to him in this context applies to her, too.]

No vaults here. Probably. Just the monsters.

[2hellwiththe1stlaw]

OK but like...we're sure he's dead dead right?

Like if we figure out a way back to Pandora he'll just be dead if he tries to leave, that's how these things work I think.

[At least she's hoping so. It's not like they can't kill him again.]

Oh come on you honestly think there's not some kind of super secret treasure or magical portals lurking around here? These are monsters who can summon elements out of mid air and are biologically impossible to explain! There's GOTTA be something Vaultlike around here to go hunting.

...you know once I'm done getting all the badges...do you have any badges?

[fuelthefire]

[He has to shrug at that.]

Pretty sure.

[He wishes he could be more positive on that front, but even though he's been here for a while and heard all kinds of crazy things, he's definitely not an expert.]

Maybe we can ask Professor Nerdlord.

[Because that Cecil guy has been around for a while and he sure seems to know everything there is to know about this place.]

There's Legendary monsters, like the Legendary guns! The Rocket Bandits trapped one underground, but we punched their stupid faces in and let it go! [That had been a good night.]

Yeah! I've got two!

[He points to where he's got them pinned to the left shoulder of his harness. He'd had to have Angel put them on, because he definitely would've broken them.]

[2hellwiththe1stlaw]

ooo I want one of those legendary bad boys! Maybe we should look for them!

[Instantly distracted by his badges which she admires with wide eyes and a wider grin.]

Oooo~ Look at you hot shot! I bet you totally moped the floor with those dopes right? No WAY were they ready for your style.

[fuelthefire]

[Krieg is totally down for a little Legendary Tracking. He's going to run out of gyms eventually, after all.]

Mnahahahahaha! They got burned! But the monsters did all the work!

[...Which is still a little frustrating, truthfully, but at least his Pokemon will also fight with him. So that helps a bit.]

[2hellwiththe1stlaw]

[She pats him on the back nice and hard.]

Aw don't worry about that big guy. You know how many people tried to tear me down because I let Deathtrap do most the killing between us? But he couldn't do any of the things he does without me so every time they light some monster up? It's like you're doing it!

[She may be over estimating how much he cares. After all he's been here a long long time.]

[fuelthefire]

Mnnffm.

[He responds to her back pat and her reassurance with a noncommittal grunt, though he does appreciate it.]

No one here fights except the monsters. I'm gonna get soft and fat.

[Which isn't actually true because he spars with his monsters daily and he's truthfully at least as active here as he was on Pandora...it just feels different because fighting with Murder Chicken is only for fun instead of for real.]

[2hellwiththe1stlaw]

HA! Like you could get fat.

...soft maybe though~ Sounds like your big soft heart has really opened up since you got here. I think having pokebabies is good for you!

[Teasing taunting grin.]

[fuelthefire]

[Well shit.]

Mnghf! See? It's already happened!

[What's next? Wearing a shirt every day? Owning more than two pairs of pants? Will the madness never end?]
