♪8 | Anonymous text/Action for the House of Minnie crew

[Ren is obviously bored and abusing the anonymous function he finally got to work after so long.]

A curious question.

What would you do if you made a nasty organization your greatest enemy?

I am, or will be, an ex Team Rocket Grunt with nothing in plans for the future. I'd love to hear your opinions.

As a reward, I can tell you things about the team. Sounds like a good deal, right?

[scientificflair]

All right, then.

How did you go about making an enemy of them, and why? These questions are relevant to the answer I give you, but you're welcome to be vague.

[saxsongs]

I guess the main problem was that I let someone know some team secrets and they found out.

As to why... I guess you could say that I don't approve of them.

[scientificflair]

So you offer to divulge more team secrets. Not exactly the wisest course of action, but to each their own.

Do you have any allies within the organization? They can be more valuable to you than the ones outside of it.

[saxsongs]

I'm aware it's not the wisest course of action, but I doubt I'm making things any worse than they already are.

I do, actually.

[scientificflair]

And one more thing. How are we to know that any information you give us is legitimate?

[saxsongs]

That might be a bit trickier. I'd say that's something that people would just need to trust me with. It's not like I have a reason to lie about it.

Of course, I haven't given anyone any reason to trust me, but that's a bit difficult to accomplish when you're anonymous.

[scientificflair]

[...all right, he sees what you did there.]

Touché. Granted, since this is coming from an anonymous source, it's also possible that you're still wholeheartedly within the organization and looking to bait some rather gullible people.

However, most who are wholeheartedly within the organization have all the subtlety of a large-scale mobile fortress firing loaded incendiaries from all possible openings. Hence I'm willing to give you a bit more in terms of the benefit of the doubt.

[saxsongs]

It's certainly possible. For all I know, you could be one of the higher ups in the team, trying to get information on what I know and who I might be.

Though I don't believe that to be the case.

[scientificflair]

If I were one of the higher-ups in the organization, I don't see any reason why I would bother with this in the first place; it's more than likely that they know who you are already.

I'll be blunt with you in saying that I'm a member of said organization. At the same time, my position is similar to yours. I haven't acted against them yet, but I don't agree with their worldviews.

[saxsongs]

Oh, I don't know. At least the NPC's here can be rather stupid, sometimes and I'm not sure if the "real" members would bother with such "minor crimes".

Ah, I see. It's always reassuring to hear you're not alone with the disapproving. Though also not really surprising.

[scientificflair]

Maybe, maybe not. A fair few of the "real" members also have ridiculously short tempers, set off by petty things to a point that's almost impressive.

What aspect of all of this do you disapprove of? Something specific, or are you just not a criminal in general?

[saxsongs]

Hmm, true; Some people can be insanely loyal. Though I'm hanging onto hope that they have better things to do.

Generally everything. If they'd only stick to stealing, I probably wouldn't be this annoyed. Of course that's also a bad thing, but there are a lot worse things than that which annoy me.

[scientificflair]

Another spot where we're in agreement, then.

Were I willing to give you my name over a private channel, would you do me the same courtesy, or is this strictly out of the question? I have more reasons to assist than obstruct you, and I may be able to get information to you once you're on the outside entirely. Let's say that I have access to plans from the more...destructive parts of the organization.

[saxsongs]

[Ren thinks about this a while. While this is a risk, he doesn't really see this is as a bad one. Though he might get yelled at for taking such risks - then again, when isn't he getting yelled at.]

I would do the same. There isn't a reason for me to distrust you.

[And if there is, he'd figure out something afterwards. Simple as that.]
