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.]

Date: 2014-09-22 02:34 am (UTC)[A normal person might be concerned about insulting Veronica. But Mr. Tactmaster over here is far more interested in the fact that she's all sewn up.]
[Meanwhile, Cawdia the baby Murkrow pokes her beak over Henry's shoulder to watch the proceedings cautiously.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-22 03:05 am (UTC)....Umm...
[Veronica is... momentarily confused by that question. It's one she gets asked regularly, but it always manages to throw her off.]
Well, it sort of is...
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-22 03:17 am (UTC)[He looks genuinely interested, not insensitive; he really wants to know what got lodged in your skull. If that even happened at all.]
[Cawdia is quietly ignoring the... um... the whatever they're doing, because she doesn't quite understand what they're talking about. So she scoots herself up a bit more, and ruffles her crest of feathers a little as a form of greeting.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-22 04:00 am (UTC)Uh, nothing did. [She looks away, sheepish.] It's, uh, a long story.
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-22 04:02 am (UTC)I've got time! I mean, it's not like I'm doing anything but sit around with these two. [He reaches up to his shoulder, feels around for Cawdia, and then gives her an affectionate pat.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-22 04:54 am (UTC)[Geeze, kid. Veronica's not accustomed to people being like this; all curious and in your face and stuff.
She mentally debates the issue briefly, Ako giving her trainer a concerned look as she does this. Finally, she replies.]
Well, I've always had these scars and stitches. They've been on me for as long as I can remember.
[That should likely give him a clue.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-22 03:26 pm (UTC)['Clues' are not Henry's strong suit, but once he figures it out he will be pretty much over the moon. Creating life is a thing he's been working on with Miriel for a while now, but has never had success...]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-22 09:08 pm (UTC)[....At least, she thinks she doesn't have amnesia. Was there a way to check?]
I got my scars from fights I've been in. I'm... a bodyguard, something of an assassin as well.
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-22 09:12 pm (UTC)[Now you've really captured his interest.]
I'm a soldier, but even I don't have those kinds of scars on my face! Only the rest of my body.
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-23 05:11 am (UTC)Uh, yeah... I am.
[Not the reaction she usually gets.]
I have scars like these all over my body, actually.
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-23 02:07 pm (UTC)[Henry.]
[Henry, no.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-23 03:07 pm (UTC)[Henry, no.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-23 03:21 pm (UTC)Aw.
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-23 03:25 pm (UTC)[Wow, she is embarrassed for herself and you.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-23 03:25 pm (UTC)[He knows perfectly well why not.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-23 03:29 pm (UTC)[Auuugh, she's blushing, isn't she? Yeah, she is.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-23 03:36 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2014-09-24 03:01 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2014-09-24 03:33 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2014-09-24 10:49 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2014-09-24 11:35 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2014-09-25 12:21 am (UTC)Well.... I don't want you to! That should be enough...
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-25 12:25 am (UTC)[Besides, when has he ever stopped because someone wanted him to? ...The answer is never.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-09-25 05:07 am (UTC)[Urge to smash her head against something rising...]
Re: [Video]
Date: 2014-09-25 12:06 pm (UTC)[He's enjoying this so much right now, thank you Veronica for being his trollbait.]
