Act 4 / Video / Action for Rocket Headquarters / Goldenrod

[A man appears on screen with a seviper poking his head in and an ekans around his shoulders. He is wearing a plain black long sleeved shirt, looking through some warm clothes in a store.]

I was gone for a while, but I am glad to be back. We lost the things we had saved up until now, says Gaskell.

I miss Ruskin, says John.

[OOC: Snake can also be found in Rocket headquarters later in the day, checking out the TVs and video games and trying to figure out how they work.]

[Itachi tilts his head as he watches snake on the screen. That's Goldenrod, making him likely a fellow Team Rocket member. Mentioning that can wait, however.]

Do you normally speak for your pokemon?

Yes, says Gaskell. [Like it is the most obvious thing in the world.]

[This, of course, leads to the next question.]

Do you ever speak for yourself?

Rarely, says John.

And you are content with this?

[It's difficult to consider addressing one of the creatures instead.]

[He does consider a moment. But only a brief one.] Yes, we have more to say, says John.

... How fortunate that you're able to use his voice to communicate, then.

[Fine, he'll go with it. He has to have seen stranger things.]

Many pokèmon are eager to talk, says Gaskell.

Then I suppose it's a shame most of us can really only understand a few of them.

We're good at finding other ways of communicating too, says Gaskell.

Through actions. Responses...

I can usually tell the general mood of mine.

I am sure they appreciate it, says Gaskell.

[This conversation is rather surreal.]

Perhaps they do. They don't do much rebelling, in any case.

[Though there's one in particular he wishes he could speak to on a human level, if only to learn more about its former owner.]
