Rule #001 // audio // Conserve Energy Wherever Possible

[ The feed crackles, turning on with a scuffling noise. A faint clinking of what might be silverware can be heard, and after a pause, two voices. ]

Such a backwoods establishment...is your training progressing smoothly, Miss Kneesocks?

Indeed... More smoothly than I had expected, given the standard rate at which our colleagues in training have progressed.

My, how fortunate! Could you have been gifted with a more talented Pokémon? Or do the others’ issues lie elsewhere, I wonder...

You may be onto something, dear sister... Perhaps the discrepancy is caused not by an excess of ability in our Pokémon, but a lack of ability on the part of our peers’...

[ The higher-pitched voice gasps in apparent concern. ]

A tragic case of neglect, isn’t it? Such sophomoric boors shouldn’t be trusted with hermit crabs, let alone caring for intelligent beings. Doesn’t anyone here practice proper discipline? Are there no rrrrrules to training at all?

Well said, well said!-... Ah, dear sister, it seems we’ve left the recording on.

Goodness, what a dreadful mistake.....

[ A moment’s pause. ]

...the battery might run low!

[ And with a click, the feed ends.]

[[ ooc: green is Scanty and blue is Kneesocks. If you have a preference for who responds please let us know, otherwise replies may come from both or either! ]]

[ That's a generous offer! But Scanty's train of thought is stalled at the previous station. ]

We certainly weren't! I should have known others had suffered this disgraceful change; no human has enough sense to be so compliant once they understand their situation.

Ah, I suppose that would give you satisfactory qualifications...

[But, likewise, she is distracted by another train of thought.]

It truely is comforting to know that someone else shares in our suffering in this time of upheaval! Though, it begs the question of what you yourself were before coming here, Miss Megido...

[Because it'd be such a shame if you were an..... angel.]

I was previously a troll! [ Definitely not an angel, although she does feel the need to expand on that a bit. ] An alien, basically. Some of the others from my planet are here as well - I think the majority of people who come here were human to start with, but there's a fair amount of non-humans, too.

[At first Bowser just stares at the feed, his eyes wide.

Then he takes a moment to let Kneesocks' rant sink in. His brow furrows, and he folds his arms, grumbling under his breath.]

Well, yeah! I get having strict training and regulations, but this Pokémon training thing's a whole different story. In a place like this, I bet the only rules would be pansy little restrictions like playing nice and not letting your Pokémon beat their enemies into the ground.

I don't care if my team's civilized as long as they're the toughest minions around!

[As if to prove his point, he turns his camera on his gigantic, 12' Salamence, who lets out a rattling roar before sinking his teeth into a poor, helpless Jigglypuff before hurling it at a tree.]

Stocking? The tasteless, beastly, repugnant, bitchy angel Stocking?

[ Oh hey, this additional girl is chiming in again. ~~She had to clean up after falling victim to Kneesocks's spit-take, okay.~~ ]

Let's not jump to conclusions, Miss Kneesocks. After all, there's no way that morbid, acetic, gothic-flavored gutter angel, with great sugary globs of fat where her bustline ought to be, could possibly have followed us here, of all places. It'd be a most ironic, unpleasant joke!

[A pause of her own, and then her voice is much more pointed - and much more clearly directed at the Gear. ]

Wouldn't it?

[What a callous display of wanton violence! Kneesocks is stunned by the display. It takes her some time to absorb this.

Directed more to Scanty,] H-he's advocating brute force!

[ Scanty's clearly speaking to Kneesocks, but she also can't take her eyes off Bowser and is equally unnerved. ]

There's no mistaking it. We've fallen in with thugs.

[ You appear to have made an impression, sir. ]

Troll, hmm... [Kneesocks contemplates this for a moment.]

I don't believe I've ever heard of that. It sounds like a relatively respectable species.

Just as long as there aren't any angels! Who knows what this place would come to if their deranged, monkey-brained whimsies were permitted to run rampant across the landscape. A most detrimental influence on young "trainers", indeed.

[ And she laughs haughtily. ]

I trust these "trolls", on the contrary, are a properly organized society....if nothing else, this specimen can string together a sentence.

Angels? [ Like the angels on Eridan's planet, the ones he murdered? ...Probably not. ] Mm, so far I've meet a "koopa" and a "bob-omb". They were from the same world, though.

That depends entirely on your definition of "organized", I would think! I come from a point in time when there are only, oh, five and a half of our species left alive. [ Not counting certain adults. ]

Uwah... It's like I can feel that second one leering at me even though it's audio only...

Erm... W-Well, it could also just be a case of mistaken identity! I mean... The Stocking-san I knew certainly was into the goth-loli style and had a... um... nice figure... But I would certainly never use most of those words to describe her.

*Keyword in that being knew...*

[ There's a pause here, or at least, they hope it comes across as a pause. Some stage whispering probably gets transferred, however. ]

What do you think? It can't be the same! All people named Stocking must just....subscribe to the same grim aesthetic and saccharine diet....

But, dear sister, no one was that incomparably idiotic...

[There's a brief pause, and after it Kneesocks clearly seems to be addressing Hayate.]

It would benefit us greatly if you could tell us more about this... Stocking that you knew.

[...]

How do you have a half?

Edited 2013-01-12 21:00 (UTC)

Eh? Um... Do you mean like... appearance or personality wise? There's not that much to tell, since I didn't know her all that well. She was rather friendly most of the time-- *since he offered her sweets.*-- had purple hair, blue eyes... um... What else...

*Trying to recall, yet that already might be enough to confirm suspcions.*

[Oh god these two are sounding strict.]

Discipline? If they're bein' bad?

[He has little clue what you're going on about, ladies.]

[That description sounds alarmingly close.]

How unfortunate, that she would dare to show her face here-

[...Wait a second.]

You're speaking in the past tense. [With a faint hint of excitement,] Is she no longer here?

[ Okay okay so don't get worked up don't get worked up it's all gonna be okay she's not here but she was and who knows what kind of dreadful slander that bitch could have spread in their absence that might leave a stain on their newly-minted, promising careers as members of this diabolical organization how DARE she when Scanty next sees her she's going to ---

--but she's not getting worked up, nope, not her! ]

That's probably for the best. She managed to bamboozle this boy completely - who knows what havoc her influence might have wreaked if allowed to run unchecked.

[ A pause to think. ]

I don't suppose something terrible happened to her, by chance? Struck by lightning? Food poisoning? Trampled by stampeding beasts to three-tenths of a millimeter thick?

Edited 2013-01-14 01:37 (UTC)

Of course! Discipline! Discipline for misbehavior, coupled with stringent rules in place to determine that behavior!

[Growing more passionate,] It is only natural that superior beings such as ourselves give the lesser creatures a strict and disciplined way to live!

You can't possibly be suggesting you reserve regulation only for moments of willfulness!

[ She chuckles. ]

That'd make your party little more than a zoo!

Um... She is gone, yes, and as far as I know nothing bad happened to her? It was the same as every other disappearance. One day she was here, other other she wasn't. Painless and sudden as always.

... though, ah... I wasn't "bamboozled" by her. I volunteered to send her sweets since she said she wasn't sure if she'd make it from town to town without sugar...

Thugs?! THUGS?!

[Bowser's eyes narrow, and he grinds his teeth. He shakes one of his huge fists and growls.]

I'll have you know that I'm no lowly thug! You're dealing with the one and only Koopa King!

So departure is the same as arrival... Hm.

[How... annoyanly unpredictable.]

Your information makes you mildly useful.
