cawsforalarmpublic gear video - location unclear
Oh, hey! It did a thing!
[Two faces pop up on the screen, against a beautiful blue sky; the framing makes it clear that the Gear is on the ground, and neither of the two figures are making any attempt to frame their shot whatsoever. One is a young man who is smiling at his incredible achievement of turning on a Pokegear; the other is a rather exasperated-looking Vulpix. The latter reaches a paw out, puts it on the screen, and begins chittering to the human… who actually seems to understand.]
When the red light is on, it’s recording… okay, got it.
[The Vulpix squeaks again.]
“Say something”? Alright… [The young man rearranges his position in front of the Gear a little bit. One can see that he appears to be wearing purple-and-tan robes with really creepy eye designs on the collar.] Well, people in there, my name’s Henry and I’m from the country of Plegia! My interests include dark magic, nature walks, explosions, murders, explosions with murders— what?
[Henry looks down. The Vulpix can be heard screeching angrily, probably telling him to stop before he gets himself turned in to the police on day one. There is a short scuffle for control of the PokéGear; flashes of amber fur and claws can be seen, the audio becomes nothing but extremely staticky wooshes, and eventually the feed cuts out.]

[Good morning, Goldenrod Rocket Base. How’s your day been so far? Woke up, stretched a bit, eaten breakfast? Picked up the cup of dirty water that passes for coffee in this joint? That’s good. Everything you’ve just done is normal, and in here, normalcy is a valuable commodity.]
[A commodity that won’t last for much longer, because Henry the dark mage has just woken up in the building.]
[This morning, yet another Grunt seems to have joined the ranks. It’s a young man who can’t be much older than twenty, with snow-white hair and a standard issue uniform. ...Well, “standard issue” except for the part where he has some kind of cape thrown over it. (Uniform regulations? What uniform regulations?) By his side, a Vulpix is walking and grumbling bitterly, and if one looks closely they might see a Murkrow making herself comfortable in the Grunt’s collar.]
[He’s also going around touching things. The walls, the furniture, his Pokemon, your face…]
Ooh, your skin feels nice! It’s super soft!
[Look, just bear with him. He hasn’t had a working sense of touch for quite a few years.]

Some people have died before, but nobody knows how, and nobody's been able to recreate the incidents. The only proof it even happens are the ghosts of dead people turned Pokémon.
video
Date: 2014-09-23 12:56 am (UTC)What kinds of Pokémon?
[He. May or may not want to speak to them. You know. The ghosts.]
video
Date: 2014-09-24 05:28 am (UTC)[Which begs the question of whether or not their coffins resemble their human forms, too.]
video
Date: 2014-09-24 03:35 pm (UTC)[Henry's mind = blown.]
Where do I find them?
video
Date: 2014-09-25 05:34 am (UTC)[He squints, leaning closer to the camera.]
Why, you plan on interrogating them?
video
Date: 2014-09-25 12:08 pm (UTC)video
Date: 2014-09-26 01:48 am (UTC)Wait, slow down. Are you saying that you have to let ghosts possess you?
video
Date: 2014-09-26 01:48 am (UTC)video
Date: 2014-09-26 09:33 pm (UTC)[Just... why? Why would anyone even--
Congrats, Henry. You've managed to creep Riku out. And that takes skill.]
video
Date: 2014-09-26 09:34 pm (UTC)[Well, if there's one thing that Henry's skilled at, it's creeping people out. So.]
video
Date: 2014-09-27 06:32 pm (UTC)He manages to keep a straight face despite the twisting, churning sensation at the pit of his stomach.]
I don't call losing control fun. I heard I already have to deal with that in the future, so... yeah. Can't say I'm a fan.
video
Date: 2014-09-27 06:39 pm (UTC)I love it! It's like you're invincible! You can slaughter entire armies with a wave of your hand!

Date: 2014-09-27 08:17 pm (UTC)[...You got problems, man. Serious problems.]
video
Date: 2014-09-27 08:21 pm (UTC)Not at all! I don't really care about control, just as long as I get to have fun. [Murdering people, that is.]
video
Date: 2014-09-27 08:33 pm (UTC)[Except it's horrific, exhausting, and downright weird.]
video
Date: 2014-09-27 08:35 pm (UTC)[Predictably, he looks very excited about this.]
video
Date: 2014-09-27 08:37 pm (UTC)[Riku stops. His eyes flick wide open, and he glances at the calendar on the wall.
And then he proceeds to rub his temple.]
Great. It actually is. Guess you're in luck.
video
Date: 2014-09-27 08:39 pm (UTC)Nya ha ha! Guess I am!
...And you are, too.
video
Date: 2014-09-27 10:37 pm (UTC)[His voice oozes with sarcasm. Just... no. Not his idea of fun in the slightest.]
video
Date: 2014-09-27 10:39 pm (UTC)video
Date: 2014-09-29 01:43 am (UTC)[Given the way October usually goes, it... might fit as far as ghost stories go.]
video
Date: 2014-09-29 01:44 am (UTC)Yeah! And tell creepy stories and summon demons from the netherworld and stuff!
