Team Rocket's list of targets changed. You're both on it now, so stay sharp and watch your backs. I don't know when they'll move on any of us.

[It's been almost three months since he left, with only a letter to say goodbye. To say that Lightning hadn't been thinking about him as the day that would have been thier first anniversary drew nearer would be a lie, and she's taken it with remarkable grace when all things are concerned.
Or maybe she's just used to getting left behind. Who knows. All she knows is there's a house on the beach with too many memories and dreams, and she can barely look at Lucky or Strike without expecting him to be right at her side. She has to put that part of her past to rest if she's going to be able to lead the Corps in the best way she can, and so she's come to the seaside once more. Something a young boy once taught her matters more than she ever thought it would now.
Those passing close to the Radio tower will find her crouched at the railing, a lit sparkler in one hand and a bottle with a letter in the other as her Lucario stands guard nearby, gear in paw. Today would have been special, if he were here. But he isn't and it's just one more anniversary of loss. One more thing that needs to be shaken off.]
Turn it off, Sen.
[The Lucario in question yelps, but it's only in surprise, not fear. Lightning's voice is steady and quiet, and she rises to her feet as the sparkler burns out and leaves ash in the wind. She moves to the railing now, but Sen manages to end the feed just as the bottle that was in her hand drops out of sight and into the ocean.
A few minutes later, however, something else hits the network. The fact that it's an anonymous text may make people wary, but there's nothing untoward about this one. No, this one is the exact opposites of the others that have gone out.]

If someone gave you a chance to help protect this world and everyone who lives here from the people who want to harm it, would you do it? Or would you stand by and watch it burn like the Lighthouse?

Date: 2012-09-04 02:11 am (UTC)What's the test I'll have to pass? I assume there's a test.
no subject
Date: 2012-09-04 03:57 am (UTC)should we thread this? or was there some group thread planned?
Date: 2012-09-04 05:55 am (UTC)we can thread it~ every other person is out of Golden at current time.
Date: 2012-09-04 05:59 am (UTC)|D I just realized he's nowhere near Goldenrod...
Date: 2012-09-05 01:47 am (UTC)some other time, then. or I could brain a log for everyone. somehow. )_( brain no work
Date: 2012-09-06 02:01 am (UTC)<3 I'll have him travel as fast as I can haha
Date: 2012-09-08 03:34 am (UTC)[ He doesn't...
There's a short pause, as he stops to check the map. And then a second text follows: ]
I'm afraid I'm nowhere near Goldenrod at the moment. We'll have to set another date for this meeting.
:3 hopefully he doesn't get lost then.
Date: 2012-09-08 07:53 am (UTC)[yeah, she doubts that. The aforementioned pair of fighters are both level 100 and she has a handful of others the same level. She's not at all concerned.]
That's fine, so long as you can get here before October. Don't show up by then and you can forget this ever happened.

Date: 2012-09-11 10:53 pm (UTC)What's happening in October? Something fun?
no subject
Date: 2012-09-12 03:08 am (UTC)[don't ask how she'll contact you again, Charles; she has her ways.]
Maybe, maybe not. You'll just have to get here before then to see.

Date: 2012-09-13 12:14 am (UTC)Shall I just run around the city screaming for my anonymous savior to show him/herself when I arrive?
no subject
Date: 2012-09-13 06:14 pm (UTC)Only if you want to get punched. In case you didn't know this, I've had your gear signal since you first answered the call. You'll get a message in two weeks, and we go from there.
no subject
Date: 2012-09-17 12:09 am (UTC)[ It's actually a little creepy that she's... got his signal and he doesn't even know who she is. He'll have to learn more about these devices. ]
A message, hmm? How will I know it's from you? Should we have a code word?
[ Mostly joking around, now... ..... aren't you glad he responded to this? ]
no subject
Date: 2012-09-17 03:38 am (UTC)[Because she has no qualms in being outrun by either of her Lucarios. They'll probably get him first.]
You'll know. Two weeks, same time as today. Try not to be late.
[Glad? Nope. Trying to keep from hanging up? Yep.]
