1st Spin [Video] Surviving Balverines

[The feed clicks on with a little difficulty, showing the face of a ginger man who seems to be really fascinated with the 'gear, staring at the feed with mismatched blue and brown eyes.

After a moment he notices that it's on.]

Is this some kind of magic box like the one Master Weaver 'ad? Didn't think they'd 'ave these in hell!

[He's more amused by the fact that he's awake and alive than 'oh god where am I?', because hell- being alive and nowhere familiar is a far better alternative to being dead.]

I'd 'ave thought that wakin' up fwom death would feel like death warmed up! I'm wather dissatisfied with how cold it is and I would like to see life's manager.

I kid, I kid! Does anyone know of a man named 'Weaver? Or Albion at all, actually.

[He hasn't even found his Pokémon yet.]

A NEET! Not in education, employment, or training...

[Is that really necessary? What is with you two and wanting to hurt these things anyway?]

They will follow your every command without question. There's no need to hurt them.

Now that would be unfortunate, mm?

[Not that he really cares, but details.]

Well, I wish you the best of luck in tracking him down.

Now... [on to the good stuff!] If you don't mind my asking, what were you saying about returning from death just now? Did you really die before arriving here?

[Barry. Barry. How dare you make him laugh at wordplay so horrible, goodness lawd.

That said, however, that does, in fact, seem to be a baby balverine - in an incredibly simplistic-looking, bigheaded sort of way. To be fair, he's never been one for children and is of the general opinion that they all look vaguely like malformed little monsters that probably crawled out of a swamp somewhere, so it's entirely possible that Barry's balverine-thing is normal and not...ah, deficient - but given everyone's luck in this world so far, he isn't going to get his hopes up.]

While I can't say anything for the overlarge goldfish, hopefully the balverine will at least do something interesting - whether they're locals or not, the people in this place seem rather content to try to destroy each other in the most spectacular ways possible.

[That statement is accompanied with an incredibly dismissive handwave, though - really, if the people here want to kill themselves off, they're more than welcome to do it.]

Although I suppose that's just what happens when you give everyone creatures that apparently have some command over spells and the like.

Destwoy eachother? Shame we haven't got the Wheel here, what if they're all fine with violence! Wait, we haven't got the wheel, have we?

[He's looking to his Zorua- which his mind has given up on caring the name of and is now just referring to as 'Balverine'. It's got potential for a fight, maybe.]

Might need somethin' a bit bigger, but what about pittin' 'em against the locals?

[He enjoys commentating the wheel and wouldn't like it if he had to stop. :( Where else can he focus all his bad humour to? Not to mention, the monsters and violent locals are just asking to be used.]

Stwange? Ha! No~. Can't imagine Heaven would have half as much fun as I'd like. Or as many hookers, mind you.

On that subject of an overly healthy lifestyle: Aren't any hookers in 'Pawadise', are there? If I'm gonna be stuck here, gotta find out where to acquire the necessities in life.

Bwilliant- well, hard work of course, but evewything has its bonuses.

[... Alright, it seems that this man and Reaver have several other things in common than their world of origin and their work relationship. But Gorthan is a gentleman, and while he looks positively scandalized at Barry's question for a moment, he's frowning disapprovingly a moment later.]

I cannot say I have ever explored that matter. And, a word of advice, I highly doubt that equating women to commodities is normally considered an acceptable way of going about life.

Pray, what are the bonuses of working for Reaver?

[Barry's oh so used to that look. He's also used to a look of pure disgust, but none of them bother him.]

Slaves, women, animals; all the same thing, weally. ...Well, some women are alwight I suppose, so long as they aren't twyin' to kill me. [He really is a low-minded idiot. Sorry, Gorthan.

And to that last question, he just produces a shit-eatin' grin.] Use yer imagination and you might get close.

Animals. Really. Fascinating.

[Pure disgust is exactly what Gorthan is presently trying to chase away from his expression, fancy that; either way, he doesn't look very pleased with this conversation at all.

But one thing that Barry said actually piques Gorthan's interest, and he blinks a little as he wonders what to make of it.]

You were killed by a woman?

And, I fear my imagination fails me here. Perhaps I simply don't want to know, do I.

Well she wasn't quite a woman, but she was an animal! ...More a mixture of both, actually. Never gwope a Balveween is what I've learnt fwom this one.

[He's trying to joke about it, but he is a little annoyed it happened.]

Well, that's up to you! If you do, then we mig~ht just get along.

[A sigh.]

Serves you right for not being able to tell the difference, I suppose.

But, no matter. I am Gorthan, a scientist. I reside in Goldenrod City most of the time.

[And he regrets telling Barry where he lives right away; but it's the only way he can assess whether this newcomer is a Rocket, too, like Reaver.]

[Oh, that just gets a rather dark smirk. Another dismissive gesture accompanies it, but the look in his eyes is an incredibly wicked one.]

Unfortunately, we don't have the Wheel just yet...however, I see no reason to let that stop us. The locals - both humans and wildlife alike - apparently have all sorts of potential.

Looks like being here could be a fun ordeal after-all! Although, anything's better than being dead, mind you.

[On the subject of the wheel and what it brings, Barry wonders on something that was said earlier.]

The King tells me you're both lost in the woods? I knew you liked to go explorin' Master, but if you don't mind me askin', is something up with the gettin' lost part?

[This place is new to all of them, right? So he's got to wonder whether Reaver's got any power here and whether he's out in the woods on escape duty or not. Barry knows what that's like; he's been in it a few times.]

Oh, I knew she was a balveween! Just didn't expect her to change. Vewy tempting buttox, that one had.

Ah~, Goldenwod? Just gettin' weady to leave there myself; goin' lookin' for Master Weaver and the King.

[As he thought - another Rocket, though, for the time being, he'll give no indication that he's a Rocket himself.]

"The King"? So someone else from your world, I assume. What is he like?

King Logan? Well, I can't weally say; only met him once. Bit of a tyrant though, accordin' to the Bowerstone citizens. I personally thought he was doin' a pwetty good job.

[But Barry's on the better side of the tyrant deal. Bad decisions = Helping Reaver! Always good.]

I'll have you know, I'm a gweat butler.

Of course. Filthy Balverweens. Then I go and get given one as some stinkin' little companion.

[He found his Zorua.]

Weally? Could come in handy then.

[Doesn't mean he's not going to abuse them if they do something he doesn't likes. Hell, one of his hobbies is strangling animals.]

... Whatever you say, sweetheart.

[You know what, he's just going to turn this off now. You're not worth his time.]

You were given one. May I see it?

[Since he has no idea what those are.]

Edited (ignore that fail just now pff) 2012-08-03 15:25 (UTC)

I see. King Logan...

[Gorthan commits the name to memory. And he can't help but smirk - how could a King fare within the rigid hierarchy of the Team?]

Implying you are not one of the citizens? How interesting... Where do you and Reaver normally live?

[The look he gives Barry is probably best described with "Oh come now" - clearly, he isn't taking that line of questioning very seriously at all, though whether he minds is possibly a different matter.]

It's not so much that we're lost as it is that the entire area is completely unfamiliar; it's obviously no Albion, let's put it that way. The paths are clear enough, however, and it's obviously all been mapped out; it's just a matter of exploration at this point.

[tl;dr - OH GOD WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE ARE]

Yes. They are your equivalent of weapons here, so I suggest treating them well.

[Barry honey no, there are some things we don't do to the poor Pokémon!]

[~~so basically, no one from Albion can deal without the light trail?~~]

So does that mean that there's an exact place I can meetya? I mean, I'm not unaccustomed to twaversing the woods lost... [So many times in Millfields he actually knows the way now.] but I'd wather not keep you waitin'.

Can't buttle without a Master to buttle for.
