ELEVENTH DESIRE ☠ VIDEO / ROCKET VIDEO

[ VIDEO ]

So... I have a question.

[Uh oh, this sounds promising. Ryuunosuke is sitting in the Game Corner, dressed in the clothing of the attendants. He's currently on break and playing a game of Voltorb Flip while he speaks. Someone else is clearly holding the 'Gear while he talks, though he doesn't make eye contact with the 'Gear.]

What are some really rare Pokémon? I'm getting bored of seeing the same ones all the time. I want to raise something that no one else has! Or at least something that very few people have. There's gotta be something cool out there that people aren't using!

[He flips a card over and makes a face when it's revealed to be a Voltorb.]

I've got plenty of money to spare, so I can buy Pokémon or eggs off of anyone who's got something I like. So show me your rarest Pokémon, okay?

[The feed cuts there, at least for the public.]

[ ROCKET VIDEO ]

[The feed returns a little while later, with Ryuunosuke still frowning at Voltorb Flip. He flips a card and grins when it reveals a "3".]

Awesome!

[He looks up at the 'Gear and smiles, tipping his head a bit to the side and trying to look cute. He manages for the most part, though there's a strangely distant look in his eyes, if you look closely.]

I think I'm going to go traveling. I like Goldenrod, but it's been awhile since I went anywhere, you know? Does anyone have any Pokémon they want me to get them or something? I'm thinking about heading to the Safari Zone - I've heard good things about it - but if you want me to catch you something somewhere else, I can do that!

...Alternatively, if anyone's got any plans in the future, let me know, alright? It's been so boring lately. Someone's gotta do something cool soon!

[Maybe Seth will attack again or something. Who knows?]

Thanks!

[greatestcool]

Yeah, it did the same thing to me when I returned.

[He makes a face, but the expression fades quickly.]

You've got something in mind, sir?

[istheindustry]

Well, no, but that's never stopped me before, my dear - whether they're planned or spur of the moment, all of my ideas are invariably good ones.

[greatestcool]

They sure seem to be! I'm sure we can come up with something really cool, sir!

[istheindustry]

...That word is never leaving your vocabulary, is it?

[At least - at least - he sounds more amused than anything.]

[greatestcool]

Oh, of course not! It's my favorite word!

[He's also saying it in English every time it comes up, but it's not exactly noticeable due to the whole "common language" thing.]

[istheindustry]

Dare I ask why?

[greatestcool]

Because it's the best word, obviously! It's something Americans use all the time, so I picked it up too!

[istheindustry]

[...yep, okay.]

Why don't we just pretend that I both know and care about what group of people you're referencing and move on - I actually can't fault you for that sort of logic, my dear, I tend to do the same thing.

[...just...not here, exactly, because common language tho...]

[greatestcool]

Oh.

[Yes, that's right, Reaver wouldn't know about Americans, would he? Ryuunosuke looks puzzled for a moment as though he's actually trying to figure out how to explain Americans before giving up.]

Really? Do you speak any other languages then, sir? I know a few words in English, but not enough to really speak it.

[istheindustry]

I'm not really fluent in anything beyond what we speak in Albion, though since I'm capable of anything I put my mind to, I'm certain I could be if I felt like it - but I do know a few phrases that I've picked up here and there. I've seen much of the world, darling, it'd be a bit of a shame if I didn't put at least some of it to recurring use.

[greatestcool]

Yeah, of course! I'd like to hear what else you know... but I don't think we can really speak any other languages here. Everything comes out sounding the same as if you said it in your native language anyway!

[istheindustry]

[...you know

somehow

don't ask him how but somehow

it hadn't crossed his mind that you are probably speaking another language entirely until just now]

And...what are you speaking now, as far as you're concerned?

[greatestcool]

Japanese! But I'm pretty sure you're not speaking that. It's pretty weird that we can all understand each other despite coming from different places!
