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.]

He's no even sure. Curiosity? Boredom? For what it's worth, he manages to keep an even tone.]

Date: 2014-09-29 02:08 am (UTC)...But you always ask their permission first! That's very important for the rituals, mhm.
[No it's not. Henry just doesn't like cutting open animals without consent.]
You know, you're really interested in this all of a sudden! Do you want to get into dark magic, or what?

Date: 2014-09-29 02:57 am (UTC)[Riku, no.]
Ooh, ooh! Well, I don't know how much I can teach you since there's no powers, but I can talk about theory?

Date: 2014-10-01 05:03 pm (UTC)Sure. Lecture me for all I care.
[It's new stuff from a new world... Can he really turn that down?]

Date: 2014-10-04 12:30 am (UTC)Anyway! There's two kinds of magic, elemental and dark. Elemental is basically controlling the stuff you can see; fire, air, water, and earth are the most common, but there's a lot of other things you can do, mhm. Likewise, dark magic focuses on all the stuff you can't see -- minds, sleep, dreams, death, all that good stuff. Dark magic is waaaaay harder to study because it's hard for most people to get a magical grip on things they can't see!
