Act 4 / Video / Action for Rocket Headquarters / Goldenrod

[silentscales]

[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.]

He cares about you very much, says Ruskin.

[Silently Snake introduces himself and asks,] What is your name?

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

... Oh, well... I already told you.

Name's S2. Stands for Solid 2, or Double S. There's a lot of ways you can play it... Guess the last time he was here, he had an Onix named Solid, didn't want to get confused, right?

.... You're talking to my Pokemon?

[ video ]

[silentscales]

That would make sense. What do you like best?

[Snake's eyes flicker back to the older man and he nods before he looks back at the Onix.]

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

I like S2. Makes me sound like the sequel, but better!

[ video ]

[silentscales]

I'm really glad to meet you, S2. If you ever want me to tell your trainer something, you can let me know.

[imthe_shit]

Oh, okay. Tell him he's a great guy, and if he ever wants to take on any of the gyms, I'll be behind him 100%.

[ Snake is feeling odd about this conversation, because he doesn't understand any of it. :| ]

[silentscales]

You're a great guy, and if you ever want to take on any of the gyms, I'll be behind you 100%, says S2.

[ ......... He looks up at S2, who has happy-eyes going on. aaand looks back at Snake. ]

... You're kidding, right?

Re: [ video ]

[silentscales]

He's serious, says Ruskin. [Snake is, and so seems S2, but Ruskin is getting a kick outta this.]

[imthe_shit]

... [ Snake sighs, shaking his head. ]

All right... This is too weird.

[ video ]

[silentscales]

[Snake tenses at the word and goes quiet, looking ashamed. Unless the older man says something fast, it seems like Snake might end his feed on a sour note.

[ Snake's eyes widen and he grumbles and mumbles. ]

... Look, kid. I'm just not used to a guy who can speak with Pokemon... Sorry. It's a pretty special gift, just not one I thought I'd encounter.
