034 [video; Locked to the PGC]

[Evening, people of the Corps. Have a Lightning on your screens tonight, with the howling roar of the blizzard right behind her. She doesn't look too good, hair pinned away from a too-flushed face, but her voice is even and strong.]

As soon as this blizzard's blown over and the holidays have passed, I need everybody in Goldenrod as soon as possible. You've heard by now that the Radio Tower is still being held by Team Rocket, and we're planning to take it back. [a pause as she swallows hard and inhales, then:] But in order for this to work, we need everybody here so we can plan squads to cover our weaknesses instead of leaving holes in our defense. We're only going to get one shot at this before they start preparing for an attack instead of leaving the doors open, so we have to make this count.

[Her eyes narrow slightly now, before she sighs.]

I'm not saying this is going to be easy. Chances are people are going to get hurt, both on our side and theirs, but you were all warned about that when you signed up for the Corps. If you think you won't be able to do this, for whatever reason, say something now and we'll move on without you. We don't have room for sympathy this time.

[End feed. Blunt and to the point, as always.]


[ooc: as always, a list of the Corps Members can be found here. If your character is a member, assume that they received a message directing them here, just in case it was ICly missed.]

[Wow thanks, Lightning, Coop doesn't want to break your nose :| ...]

[Also there's a bit of a pause. Priorities, wasn't it? But he'll bite that one back, for the time being. And when he does speak it's with a well-worn professionalism.]


Ask around. There might be records kept of its interior and construction from the time it was first built. When it comes to the others, don't wait too long to ask them.

... did you consider disguises?

Their grunt uniforms wouldn't exactly be the hardest thing in the world to replicate.

I see. I am in Vermillion City on business and companionship, but, I'll be making my way towards Goldenrod as soon as possible.

[ Hmmm... for the first time ever, Lust feels like she has power. She does like working for team rocket, but it is kinda limiting. Working for Cobra is ridiculous too. On the other hand, any decision she makes impact things, significantly. Hopefully she can actually make a decision on this.

ooc: I have... no idea what to do here, admittedly. Want to shoot me a pm/private plurk/aim message to sort this out? I don't want to like, brutally crush other people's fun, of course! ]

[The day Dale Cooper breaks someone's nose for no other reason than malice is the day the sky falls.]

[By the way, he did notice that off colour on her skin, but ... well, there's a certain priority in ignoring that for the time being as well, isn't there?]


Someone also said that wasting time must be the greatest prodigality. There's quite a balancing act in the compromise between the two.

[Still, he doesn't doubt that she'll manage, and so moves on, now frowning slightly.]

Is that a normal fever or side-effects from poisoning?

[ She notices how stilted the response is at first. Lust just continues to roll on the conversation, casually. ]

I decided to buy some property in Vermillon and started to study pokémon and their habits, and this world, of course. I'm trying to find a way to discover our origin. However, since Vermillon is a busy port, I also have the advantage of keeping an eye on this city in case anything suspicious starts to take place.

[ Oops. Lust will just continue on with her usual chilliness. ]

Most of the time, no. The shippings appear to be rather mundane. They do sometimes spike at suspicious times, like during the tournament, but I assume it's because so many people were just shipping their items home. After these large spikes, they're usually sent to various large cities in Kanto, like Celadon and Saffron.

For the most part, it's quiet. [ Ignoring the fact that her boss oversees shipping. ] I believe I might have seen a rocket member once or twice, but, they only came out in large crowds. By the time I got there, they vanished entirely. I believe I might have heard something about a Commander in Kanto, but I'm not quite sure if they mean Lt. Surge, or someone else.

Looks like most people who're still here are willing to help out, that's good. There anything I can do to prepare while we wait for the others?

[Not that he's terribly surprised, these are good people, but it's still very nice to know]

And...are you feeling okay? You seem a bit pink.

[Not that her hair isn't always but her face? Hmm]

Right... I'll keep working on that then. Been trying to keep things to separate purchases just in case.

[At the notion of tainting one of the best of all things, Ven looks mortified. Worse that such a thing hit Pinksis]

Poisoned cookies?

Geez, I'd wondered why I hadn't heard from him lately.

People sure like using poison out here.

[And he highly dislikes that, himself]

[personal profile] ex_aeroga402 2013-01-05 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Is there anything we could do so people don't get harmed by that stuff so often?

[It's troubling that people get poisoned like spam mail]

Wish this place let us have healing spells at least.

[Sigh, and no antidote items either]

Good point. There are some people that'd be way too much trouble if they had that kind of power at their disposal. Especially since not everyone'd be equipped to do something about them.

I don't know either. I was going to suggest something similar myself.
