Video/Action for Pewter City - backdated to 7/29

[exeggutorhead]

[Video (/audio/text)]

[The feed opens on a sight that…really looks like it would be more suited to a brand new arrival in the world of Pokemon than someone who’s been there for nearly six years.]

[Envy’s hunched over the screen, eyes narrowed and looking like he’s trying very hard to figure out this newfangled technology business. Viewers will get to see his finger tapping at the camera, the screen, and every single button. The video cuts out to audio a couple of times, and a few random letters will occasionally come through the text function.]

What the hell kind of telephone is this…

[It’s a quiet, frustrated mutter to himself rather than an actual question. He doesn’t seem to have any idea this is being broadcast out.]

[This keeps going for another minute until he hits the Games tab button, and apparently he’s hit ‘volume’ several times because the tinny Tetris game music BLASTS from the speakers. Envy nearly drops the ‘Gear, gritting his teeth as keeps punching buttons.]

No, damn it how does this turn off?! Go back!

[His patience with today is just about gone, and as the cheery game music continues to play on, he finally just loses it entirely. Anybody who’s still watching will get a great view of some of Pewter City as the ‘Gear goes sailing through the air, and as it hits the ground (fortunately on grass and not concrete), it finally cuts out entirely.]

[Action for Pewter City]

[Haze Day for Envy has left him without anything but the foggiest memories of all his years spent in Johto. He may have gotten in touch with one of the other homunculi, but Wrath hadn’t…exactly been helpful in figuring out where he was, what was going on, why he was human, or where all these chimeras in the streets came from.]

[He is now frustrated and loose in Pewter City. Chances are, if you look like you know what you’re doing, he’ll sidle on over to try and get some information.]

[Ha ha wow this is sure a scene Joker is stumbling onto]

[After recognizing where Envy was and getting there as quick as he could with a bit of teleporting help, he'd, you know... Sort of been hoping that things would be calm when he arrived.]

[But instead, seated on Ruby the Rapidash, he comes across what is basically a schoolyard squabble pile. Amazing. He reaches down to grab one of his Pokeballs, shaking his head in time with Angel.]

Envy, don't be a tit, yer not gonna kill anybody.

[And this is partially because a giant furry noodle aka a Furret just as big as anybody here is coming to join the mess that is the tackle pile. This is obviously a well thought out plan.]

[armoredsoul]

[It's just turning into a regular circus around here. Joker must feel right at home.]

[Al groans and pushes himself back up, very quickly accompanied by a very concerned Eddie. The Luxray noses at him with a worried rumble of a purr, and shoots a glare down the street at Envy underneath Heather and the unfamiliar Furret.]

Ugh...I'm fine, Eddie, calm down.

[They've...they've got this. Al will just sit here and get his breath back for the moment. Holy SHIT, that hurt.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>['I'll kill you!' is not exactly an uncommon thing to hear hollered casually around Shark House, but the difference between Envy indignantly shrieking it through the hall after someone dropped an ice cube down his shirt and saying it in complete earnest is huge.]

[Nonetheless, Heather holds on grimly, trying to avoid getting elbowed in the eye. ... A concern that becomes replaced by trying not to suffocate when a Furret roughly the size of Michigan joins the pile and completely obscures her vision with the sheer mass of its fluff.]

[Spitting fur out of her mouth, Heather turns her head as far as she can until she can finally catch a glimpse of the newcomer-- OH. She recognizes that guy, she's been to enough rehearsals and performances-- it's Envy and Lusts's boss!]

[Where the heck did HE come fro-- you know what, it doesn't matter.]

[They clearly need all the help they can get.]</sub>

He-- _{[A pause to spit more fur out...]} --doesn't know where he is! It's like he forgot everything!

_{[Carousel, who'd wisely kept her distance (her ears had gone back at the screeched threat at her trainer, but she's seen enough over the past months to know that Envy is not someone she's allowed to trample), whickers at Ruby as if to ask if the other Rapidash knows what's going on.]}

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy might have had a chance at getting away before the massive tube of brown fur joined in on pinning him down. And smothering him with fur doesn't help either.]

[He still keeps struggling as much as he can manage, but he clearly doesn't have anywhere close to the upper hand here. In fact, it's probably safe to say that he's pretty well pinned to the ground.]

[Not enough that he can't look over to glare murderously at Joker. He knew it! He knew this guy was up to something!]

Shut up! I'll kill you too! I don't need to know where I am to do that!

[pipers_son]

[Joker is perfectly at home indeed.]

[Letting Rogue handle the squabble pile, Joker slides off of Ruby’s back and lets her have a “what is wrong with humans” conversation with her fellow steed. He focuses on a talk of his own, calling over to Heather.]

Yeah, I figured when I saw the network! Came quick as I could. Listen, just- let go of him, Rogue is faster than him and won’t let him run off.

[With that done, he waves over at the poor kid who’s sitting to the side as he comes closer. Hi, Al.]

Oi, you alright over there?

[Why, yes, he is casually ignoring those death threats. Oh, they’re serious alright… But Joker won’t hold them against Envy.]

[...Besides, this isn’t the first time he’s been threatened to be killed.]

[armoredsoul]

[Al watches Envy and Heather with a hint of worry, though he's more concerned about how Heather is reacting at the moment. He knows they've been friends for ages, but...well, it's a bit of a shock seeing Envy suddenly regress like this even for him, and he hadn't been around to see the slow progress to a half-way functional human being.]

[Joker's approach has Al sitting up straighter though, and he waves off his concern with an apologetic look.]

No, no, I'm alright! Just had the wind knocked out of me is all.

[Pushing himself up to his feet, Alphonse casts a look over at Envy.]

What are we going to do about him, though? Tie him up and keep him in a locked room?

[...Al isn't actually joking about that, really.]

[foolishwren]

_{[She KNOWS better, she knows that all the talking in the world is not going to make their murderous amnesiac buddy cooperate right now, but she's so frustrated she can't help but mutter muffledly into the Furret--]}

Envy, if you know what's good for you, be quiet for once in your life...!

_{[Of course, Rogue does have the situation mostly under control, so with some difficulty, Heather does let go and carefully extract herself from the dogpile. ... Weaselpile? And climbs to her feet, brushing fur and grit off of her clothing.]}

Has anyone actually explained anything to him?

I didn't get a chance to before he ran off!

[exeggutorhead]

[She is, unfortunately, correct.]

[He never knows when to shut up anyway, much less when he's this enraged and thinks he's got nothing to lose by it. He snarls, struggling still. But there's really not much he can do.]

Like I'd believe anything any of you told me! You'd just lie anyway!
