pictures/audio/action for Route 35

[blacklynx]

[Today the network is greeted with a series of pictures.

One has a kid crying over a lost Pokémon.
One has an old lady telling the Jennies about a recent burglary she suffered.
One has a mildly injured young man who's cursing everything.
One has a pile of Pokéballs with a red R and a cat mask next to them.

The pictures come with a simple audio post. While Ikuto doesn't want to get caught by anyone, he wants to deliver a message to people that do know. Message being "You shouldn't get too close to me or else" - especially to one Amu Hinamori, but everyone else too.]

I'm getting hang of this game I've been assigned to.

How depressing.

audio

[blacklynx]

Oh, really? I though it would be heartwarming and nice.

audio

[onelevelmeaner]

Ah, is that what you were going for? It didn't really come across that way to me... Everything seemed sad, with the exception of that last one.

audio

[blacklynx]

And I even tried my best to pick up the nicest pictures I had... yet I failed. How discouraging.

[That sounded really sincere... except not.]

audio

[onelevelmeaner]

It's really not a big deal. At least you're getting the hang of it.

audio

[blacklynx]

Well, that's the most important thing.

[audio]

[trickyoutwice]

Seems like you're playing a pretty nasty game there.

[audio]

[blacklynx]

Only if you're the one losing.

[trickyoutwice]

Ha! Isn't making sure you're not the loser the only way to play, though?

[blacklynx]

Yep. Though it's a game over if you get caught.

[trickyoutwice]

I dunno, seems to me if you haven't got an exit strategy, you need to practice a little more.

[blacklynx]

Practice makes perfect, they say. And I've got all the time in the world to do it.

[trickyoutwice]

Wow, that's a pretty laid back attitude. If you don't have any sense of urgency, the good guys are gonna catch up to you for sure.

_{[Naturally, Heather doesn't exactly pick up on the subtle nuance of someone who's doing something they don't want-- she just sort of assumes he's bragging.]}

Well congratulations, you're a shitlord.

What do you want, a cookie?

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

I don't really want anything out of this.

[That's a surprisingly sincere tone he has when he says that, actually.] I'm just making people aware of the little games they usually might not come across.

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

The fact that you describe it as a game in the first place says a lot.

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

Isn't this whole world based on some game anyway? It makes sense to call everything here a game - how ever cruel it may be.

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

Uhhh, not really, since anyone who's not a total nutcase would take one look at this place and see that it's a world, not whatever Gameboy Nintendo shit they had back home.

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

Who cares if this is a real world? It's not the world we come from, so it doesn't matter what happens here or what anyone thinks about it. Pokémon or other people, everything is just a waste of time.

[Which is a lie, but he's good at lying. Unfortunately.]

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

Idiot.

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

Did you find a mirror?

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

Will you stop! This isn't going to work on me, you know.

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

[... right she's from the "future" or something. He almost forgot that.]

Who said it should work on you? It's a general warning.

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

Because you always do this! Stop pushing people away. You're not bad and you're not evil so stop pretending to be!

[Don't make her get the spray bottle >:|]

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

You can say that even if you see what I'm doing here out of my free will?

[His voice is stern and really serious.]

Things change.
