002 ★ video + action [backdated 4/30]
[video]
You were all terribly overdramatic to warn me so much about that delightful little party. Why, I haven't been to such a lively event in ages, I can scarcely wait to do it again.
[That cheerful broadcast came from...somewhere in a tree, the Pokegear perched in such a way to show Ardyn presumably sitting on a branch, a bottle in his hand. One probably hopes it's actually grape juice, for his and everyone else's sake. One is probably wrong.]
But I'm no less convinced this is my own personal hell. [Said with a smile before taking a drink from the bottle in his hand.] This ridiculous state of affairs is enough to drive me mad twice over! How do any of you tolerate this absurd humanity?
[Asking a question both rhetorical and a little weird, Ardyn rolled his eyes.]
No matter, I suppose. It's occurred to me that I forgot myself when last I spoke, and utterly failed to give a proper introduction. [He lifted the half-empty bottle slightly in a casual affectation of a toast.]
You may call me Ardyn. Ardyn Lucis Caelum is my name, and take care not to forget it, if you would.
[action; violet city]
[April 30th fell on a Friday this year, unluckily enough.]
[Unluckily, because the tree Ardyn was in gave him a good view of the city's gym--and of the gym leader himself, a man in blue with short hair in the midst of performing his scheduled falconry exhibition. He'd been hoping to just get a look at the ostensible competition in this city, but...]
[Ardyn knew immediately what the problem was, and just as swiftly decided he didn't care. Through no fault of the leader's own he had decided on sight that he just despised Falkner. And there was only one thing to do about that now that he'd made that conclusion.]
...Rakshasa. [The Zorua curled up on the branch next to him perked up, tail wagging in excitement. Ardyn hopped down from the tree, his partner following to land on his shoulder.] Let's resume training. I think we've a leader to dethrone.
[There were worse ways to spend one's birthday after one had long since stopped counting.]
