♪5 | video/action for Goldenrod City + Rocket Feed video

[saxsongs]

[The feed this time has Ren sitting on a bench in Goldenrod City. There are three Houndour eggs, wrapped in a blanket, next to him and a Houndoom sitting behind the bench.]

Pokémon really seem to like surprises. I came back to my room today to find some eggs. [A surprise he didn't really want to happen, but such is life.]

So, if anyone's interested in getting a Houndour egg for free, here's your chance. Just contact me and we'll talk about it.

[It's as simple as that, isn't it? Though he's not sure how he'll deliver the eggs anywhere, but he'd think of something.

He doesn't have anything else to say for now, so he'll end the video here this time.]


[Video; Rocket Feed]

[Sometime later, once he's back at the base, there's a video for the Rocket channels.]

I've been thinking of leaving the base for a while to challenge the gyms in nearby cities. [Wait, what... Ren's actually going to travel and battle? That's unheard of.] Do you need to get some sort of a permission to do that or do I just inform someone I'm ending my current mission for a while?

[He doesn't really want to get into any trouble when he's already walking on thin ice, so he thought it would be good to ask.]


(ooc: All eggs have been claimed.)

[... ...]

Where did you get the idea? I mean she -- and he -- really, why?

[saxsongs]

Because my starter acts the same way. [Surprise, surprise!] He also acts unfriendly towards me whenever I don't support the team like he wants.

[usedwrench]

Unfriendly ... [Winry looks at her Eevee and looks worried.] I guess that would explain why it wants me to train so much and everything else, especially if I say something against them...

[Not going to cry here, but oh gosh she looks sad and near tears.]

[saxsongs]

[Ren's not sure what to say in this situation... except, maybe.]

It might be the microchip. If you remove that, the Eevee might start acting normally.

/spamming the hell out of her icons, I'll let you know when it's done

[usedwrench]

The ...?

[usedwrench]

...y put...?

[usedwrench]

[about to yell in rage, but...]

[usedwrench]

[She can't yell here, uh huh. So, from confused to furious and from furious to scared she goes.]

[usedwrench]

[Staring at Elsie in fear for a moment...]

[usedwrench]

[...Oh hey, wait!] So, they're active in this city now..? Or is this just one of their hideouts?

[She's talking pretty quietly here, because of the location and everything else.]|

done, I guess :|

[usedwrench]

...and they put those things on their Pokémon nowadays?

[saxsongs]

I think Goldenrod is their main hideout these days. All the new recruits start here. [At least as long as he's been around and he's been around for a while. He's also speaking in a quiet tone.]

And yes. You get two starters. One of them starts at level 15 and it's microchipped and the other one is your normal level 5.

1/2

[usedwrench]

[Wait, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait... Dammit. Didn't Mister Hughes wake up in Goldenrod? Yeah, he did, Winry remembers that much. She met him with Ed and Al on his first day here and Elsie was there too...

MISTER HUGHES WAS A ROCKET?! Newsflash for Winry, because men never want to bother her with their problems. DAMMIT GUYS, JUST TELL HER STUFF LIKE THIS!!]

2/2

[usedwrench]

[...biting her lip, she calls Elsie back to her ball before the Eevee can dodge the call, and Winry puts the ball deep into her bag. She couldn't call herself out from that deep in the bag, could she? Let's find out.]

...I see... That explains a lot. Thank you.

[Oh right, she said 'nowadays'. If he caught that word, then he might read a fact or two between the lines, but ...Maybe that's okay.]

[saxsongs]

[He did catch it. Not that it's his business, but it's curiousity that makes him ask:]

You were a rocket before, weren't you?

[usedwrench]

[...Well, it's only fair to be honest here, right? He doesn't seem to be a bad person. So, Winry nods.]

Back when they were still in Mahogany, yeah. I -- kind of got out when they were checking who are loyal and who ... are not loyal. Then I was in jail, because Jennies are stupid for not listening to people, who haven't done anything what they do...

[Huff ... followed by a sigh soon.]

Then I was sent home soon after that and then I came back here as a breeder.

[saxsongs]

So the Jennies really put people in jail even if you wouldn't have done much anything... [Just the name gives them a reason to think of you as a criminal. Not so good news.]

At least the second time around you got a better status.

[usedwrench]

I have no idea how it works nowadays, but I wouldn't count on them being friendly about things like that. Maybe it depends on the situation.

[Winry shrugs, because she honestly doesn't know.]

Yeah, I'm really glad about that. Even if I had been a trainer, I would have probably switched to a breeder.

[saxsongs]

I guess I'll have to wait and see, one day. [Whenever that is.]

[usedwrench]

Could you --- [paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause.] Let me know too when you find out, please? I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore.

[saxsongs]

Of course. You'll just have to let me know what number to contact.

[usedwrench]

Oh. Of course! [Give her a moment to write it on a paper, along with her name on it. She'll offer it to him then.] Here you go. Thank you so much.

[saxsongs]

[He'll look over the paper and smile, slightly.]

Miss Rockbell, then. I'm Ren Jinguji, so you know who's contacting.

[usedwrench]

Winry. I'll be sure to remember your name in the future.

[and considering where they are...] I should probably go, this place is kind of ...

[upsetting her.]

[saxsongs]

[He nods.] It's safer if you do, too. So go. I'll stay in contact.
