[Yeah, no, he gets that television doesn't exist for the man. That's why he was trying to see if Speedwagon recognized the word, which he obviously didn't.]

Pleased to meet you, Mr Speedwagon. [Steven Durante has a firm handshake, but not a crushing one. Somehow he manages to keep a straight face at the name.] I'd almost say 'like the band' but I suspect you wouldn't have heard of them either. ['Or the foundation,' he doesn't, but anime references would be even more past Speedwagon's time, wouldn't they?]

And yes, I agree, mugging is far easier and it's how I usually handle my solo thefts... but there's a so-called hero of justice on the loose who's, ah, particularly concerned with mugging at the moment. And I suppose I wanted to show off a bit. Though really, doing a whole hotel like that isn't too bad if you're any good with disguise--which I am--and you know when the cleaning staff is scheduled to make their rounds. And if you've got some pokemon who can unlock things--you read the part of the letter about pokemon, right?

[speedweed]

Mm, you would be correct in that assumption. [He wouldn't know of the Foundation, either. But that's less because it's not him and more because he hasn't had the chance to form that whole nonsense.

Yet.]

A hero of justice... wouldn't be the first time I'd been kicked in the face or some-such other oddity in the midst of doing the job. Not that it was typically vigilantes that did that sort of thing. [Last time was a big beefy dude who he kind of followed home. But we aren't talking about that right now...]

Pokemon... Oh! You mean those weird creatures that was mentioned? I didn't pay it much mind, but I did take what was left on the night stand to bring with me. [And are on his belt. Which are absolutely pokeballs of some sort.]

[fingersandteeth]

Yes, those. They can be surprisingly useful for crime. There's a kind called Klefki that can circumvent almost any kind of mechanical lock and another called Rotom that can get you through the rest.

[speedweed]

[Excuse you, what.]

... Creatures that can get through locks? [EXPLAIN, THIS SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY FAKE TO HIM. And the look on his face probably says as much, actually.]

[fingersandteeth]

Right. Let me show you. [He'll just fish out Skeleton's pokeball and release... a floating ring of keys that sort of has a face?]

Pokemon... well. They're a bit supernatural.

[speedweed]

[HEY, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT.

Excuse him a moment while he takes a step back because nope, no he does not like that. Not a fucking second of that.]

That is actual floating metal, I think supernatural is a bit too calm of a term for it. [Look. Someone has slight supernatural trauma, it's probably fine.]

[fingersandteeth]

[Steven winces.]

Sorry, [he says.] They can be kind of a shock the first time you encounter one. You get used to them. Should I call Skeleton back to his ball?

[speedweed]

[It... doesn't seem to be doing anything off the bat and he's squinting at it from a safe distance. Not hostile? Not hostile.

Okay.]

A shock is... the term for it. I might be just a tad skittish with typically supernatural things at this point. For good reason, mind you, but the point still stands.

[fingersandteeth]

No, no, I quite understand. I've had my own run-ins with the supernatural back in my world too.

[It's a very non-hostile floating key ring.]

[speedweed]

[That key ring is weird, but at least he's slowly calming down and metaphorically soothing ruffled feathers.]

Well, when you getting mostly dragged into a situation with a vampire and his weird merry band of ghouls or whatever you wish to call them, it tends to be a sore spot. [DIO'S A BASTARD, NEWS AT ELEVEN.]

[fingersandteeth]

My God, I bet. Vampires are the worst. I've only had second-hand dealings with them and I can state that unequivocably.
