008 - open log
Who: Ratman and you
What: Just your friendly neighborhood masked vigilante throwing rats and bonking criminals in the head with a stick. Don't worry about it.
When:Throughout July (including backdated)
Where: All throughout Johto
In the dead of night, when all sorts of nasty things start to get up to no good... One person has decided he's just McFreakin' Had It.
And so, as you may be trying to make your way through darkened cities, you my just run into a man with a mission.
A man wearing a Rattata mask.
A. So you're just walking around minding your own business...
...when suddenly you hear a startled yell, from some dark alley or tiny little side street, and aggressive squeaking. There's a sturdy thudding sound, and then a much heavier one. Reaching the area and peeking in will find Quite A Scene.
One of the local trainers is plastered up against the wall, eyes wide and focused on the same scene that will no doubt draw the eye the most: a Team Rocket grunt, crumpled onto the ground and unconscious, with - is that man wearing a Rattata mask over his face?
HE SURE IS. A Rattata mask, a black beanie covering his hair, and an all black ensemble covering him from head to toe. He is also crouched over the Team Rocket Grunt, a wallet in one hand and some rope in the other. A Rattata - also wearing a little black sweater - is on his shoulder, while a Luxray looms around the side of him.
The local trainer stares at Ratman. Ratman and his Pokemon stare at you. And you...
What are you doing?
B. So you've just gotten jumped by a Team Rocket Grunt...
...And for the vast majority of offworlder residents in Johto, this is actually not that much of a big deal. Everyone knows that Team Rocket grunts are, individually, quite easy to bully. Their Pokemon are not particularly high level, and they cave pretty easily when the tables are turned.
Yet before a Pokeball can be drawn or a fist can be thrown, something else goes by faster:
A rat, flung at terminal velocity, right at the grunt's head.
Pardon the yelling. And the man in the Rattata mask rushing forward with a walking stick raised up high. Is he going to bonk a grunt? He sure is.
C. So you are a Team Rocket grunt trying to do the usual.
You know, meet your quota for the week, case out a join, normal Team Rocket things you are doing in uniform. And the uniform is the important part! Because, high up in the sky amongst all the other normal air traffic that is apparent in Johto cities... A Fletchinder and a much higher Pidgeot are keeping an eye out for such things.
For some, it might come out of nowhere - literally, the rat throwing capabilities of Ratman are rather impressive and he often aims for the aid.
For others, they might realize that they're being carefully stalked through the alleys and side streets. But, presumably, if you're in a Team Rocket uniform, well... You can't exactly go into the main streets to shake them. What are you going to do?
[ooc: So as detailed in my old plurk here, Dimitri is an official vigilante of the streets! And he's targeting low level Team Rocket grunts... or, you know, really any Team Rocket member he can find, which is anyone who his Pokemon pick up on or spot on the streets via their uniform.]
[For the NPC grunts, of course they're going to get the worst of it, but it doesn't have to be the same for anyone whose character is in Team Rocket! Feel free to contact me ahead of time so that we can BS a way for PC Rockets to get out of rat trauma. Dimitri can't be successful all the time.]
