Video (sort of)

[fingersandteeth]

[The reply he gets is just audio, for whatever reason.]

It might be sooner than you think. Pokemon don't grow normally--they do it all at once.

[scaly_monsters]

[There is an odd shriek of noise that doesn't fit much that a human should be able to make, though it's brief, and the man sounds like his throat has been roughed up by the sound.]

Who said that? Come out, who ever's there.

[The shift of the device shows the blond looking around him with a sharp expression... and... is that a crack along his face? It looks like it's his mouth, opened far too wide, showing off teeth.]

[fingersandteeth]

[Honestly, this kind of thing is familiar--although if he's a Changeling of some kind, you'd think this world would have nerfed him into a regular human.]

In the pokegear. Well. Not in the pokegear. But the thing that's broadcasting this is. Did you accidentally turn it on?

[scaly_monsters]

Poke... this?

[He looks at the device and finally is properly looking at the camera again, the crack not quite disappearing as his expression smooths out, but becoming much harder to notice.]

This thing is a telephone? But how? It's not connected by any wires?

[He has no clue that it's broadcasting his image either as he moves it around to try and find where a wire might be running from.]

And it's rather small for a telephone as well.

[fingersandteeth]

It's wireless. You're from the past, aren't you? [If Jack can be from god knows how many centuries in the future, this guy can be from the past.] Well. Past relative to when I'm from.

This device is kind of like a telephone. It's kind of like a lot of things. Or-- maybe it's more like a radio. The point is, you can accidentally talk to people on it if you're not careful.

[scaly_monsters]

The past? What do you consider the past? Because as far as I'm aware the time I'm in is the right time.

[The man is not exactly amused.]

Is there a way to talk to people intentionally, or does a body have to sit and try over and over until they've found an intended conversation partner?

[The distrusting expression on his face says a lot of how little he'd be willing to tolerate that.]

[fingersandteeth]

I'm from the year 2015, if that means anything to you. Most of us who've been brought here are from different times and places.

And there ought to be a list somewhere in the operating system that lets you find the person you intend to talk to, but you seem to have set it to a wide-range broadcast by accident. Everyone can see that video of you and Silver Bullet.

[scaly_monsters]

You mean to tell me it is not 1890?

[Those eyes narrow further and the too long mouth curls in a snarl.]

Now I know you are making a fool of me! There is no possible way something of this size could produce, much less show a film! Do you have any concept of how expensive and time consuming it is to produce a single film? This thing that was thrown in with all the other stuff I received cannot possibly do that.

[In spite of his doubt he's gently setting the device down and starting to look around the area, looking for whoever was talking to him once more, and now appearing very mad.]

I will teach you to have a joke on Diego Brando.

[fingersandteeth]

You'll have to find me first.

[Now see, this is why he never shows his face on the pokegear if he can help it. It makes it much harder for assholes like Brando to track him down.

(Well, and there's lingering Changeling issues. As one has.)]

and here I was worried I'd need to apologize for this blond jerk XD

[scaly_monsters]

[The man whirled around, adopting a particular stance in the camera view, huched forward, arms tucked up to his sides, with the wrists up by his shoulders, fingers curled into claw like shapes, while he bends his knees and looks like he expects to have a tail to balance him or something.]

I will find you... and I will kill you for mocking me like this.

[A rustle in the bushes off to the side grabs his attention, and the man... though really he's seeming far more like a freak, jumps at the bushes, intending to land on it with both feet.]

Wrrryyyyyyyy

[The odd cry comes from him as he lands, only to jump back, a Pidgey flying at his face.]

Come out... coward!

[fingersandteeth]

[He really oughtn't find this so funny, Steven knows. Not when Diego Brando is promising to casually murder him like this. Even if Jack's right and none of them can die here.

He does anyway. It's hard to keep the laughter out of his voice when he replies,]

Colder. You're getting colder.

[scaly_monsters]

[There is another of those strange cries as the man whips around in a circle, looking very much like he's trying to roleplay as a dinosaur as he starts sniffing about him with a heavy scowl on his face.]

Oh yes, go ahead and laugh, all you like. I will find you and when I do, I will make you pay for this.

NO ONE MAKES A JOKE OF DEIGO BRANDO!

[fingersandteeth]

Why would we? You seem perfectly capable of doing it to yourself.

[ Possibly he ought to have adopted a false accent for this. AH WELL. ]

[scaly_monsters]

[The man crosses to the back side of the communicator, taking him out of sight, though the sound of bushes being damaged can be heard.]

STOP HIDING, COWARD!

((Just an FYI there's a little change to what I've described... no crack way back on his cheek... but there is an eerily wide mouth.))

[fingersandteeth]

[The weirdness with his mouth and face are interesting, but he's just. Not going to mention it. He's seen weirder. His closest friend in this world has a mask that moves with his face.]

You're a lot colder, [he calls out through the communicator.]

[scaly_monsters]

[The man makes an angry sound, can be heard heading back toward the device, his face showing in the camera from upside down.]

Are you inside this thing?

[His voice seems to have dropped into a dangerously flat state, no longer the red hot fury, but now an icy anger.]

[fingersandteeth]

That's probably as close as you're going to get, [Steven admits. Since Diego can't see him, he also can't see how he flinches a little at Digeo's tone.]

[scaly_monsters]

I wouldn't count on it.

[He stares down at the device coldly.]

It may not be right away, but i will find you, and when I do I will make you sorry for messing with me.

Diego Brando never fails in his goals.

[fingersandteeth]

[ Well. Shit. ]

[scaly_monsters]

[His sense of danger may diminish some as he tries to figure out how to stop broadcasting. After a few moments of awkwardly messing with the device he finally just closes it, hoping that stops the thing.]
