35th Transformation [video/action | FOURTH WALL]

[exeggutorhead]

[Normally when this whole 'flash of light, powers back' thing happens, Envy's perfectly happy to enjoy being able to transform again. But this time he's got other things on his mind when he suddenly reappears in a place he's never been to before.]

[The first thing he notices is the music, which immediately puts him in mind of a flat world of pixels inhabited by prehistoric skeletons. He pulls out his 'Gear and turns on the video feed, frowning at the screen. Some viewers might notice that with the return of his inhumanity his pupils are now slit like a cat's.]

You know, this teleporting thing is starting to get really old--

[He's interrupted when all six of the Pokeballs on his belt open to release what is definitely not his team.]



[The ghosts cackle and dance in the air around him, pulling faces and also pulling Envy's hair as he curses and tries to punch them away. Which works about as well as can be expected (not at all).]

Where the hell did you bastards come from?!

[But then, all of a sudden, he freezes, eyes widening as he stares at something off camera. If there was any color left in his face anymore it'd be gone. Envy turns and runs, and viewers will get a good look at that sixth replacement Pokemon right before the feed turns off.]



[[ooc: Action can happen anywhere in Lavender town (or just...anywhere since fourth wall) while Envy tries to lose his herd of ghosts. Anyone who doesn't want to deal with said ghosts can also assume that he's successfully gotten away by the time they run into him.]]

[Roy's just gonna be laughing it up for a while. Watching Envy's life suck is always hilarious, after all.]

[Video]

[exeggutorhead]

[And eventually, he'll get a reply! The sulkiest reply ever stop laughing at him you bastard it's not that funny]

Go to hell!

[ >:( ! ]

Why, are you lonely?

[Too. Funny.]

action

[ahahahatroll]

[Whenever Envy has lost the ghosts, if he decides to enter the Pokemon Tower, he'll find a familiar face.]

What's the matter, Envy? You look so pale. [She giggles a bit.]

action

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy definitely recognizes her, and he's glad to see her again. Maybe this weekend won't be completely terrible after all! He grins at her.]

It's how I'm supposed to look. When did you get back, Beatrice?

action

[ahahahatroll]

Just now, though things look very different from the last time I saw this realm.

I hope this world has not always unleashed demons on you.

{Action} DUH

[bamfsecretary]

{So uh}

{That rumble of thunder sounded mighty close, didn't it?}

{Action}

[exeggutorhead]

[Why yes, yes it did. Envy doesn't stop running from those ghosts, after all he doesn't get tired now that he's back to being a homunculus, but he does take the time to look around for wherever the hell that was coming from. He's also running a whole lot faster than a human, but the ghosts are unfortunately keeping up.]

{Action}

[bamfsecretary]

{And suddenly there was a Nanao somehow managing to run alongside him in a ridiculous dress.}

You look like you could use a hand in getting rid of those ghosts.

[bobtheghastly]

[As if you couldn't get enough ghosts in your life...

You might get a distinct feeling as though you're being watched.

Just though I'd mention.]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy doesn't like this being watched feeling, and looks around for the source, frowning.]

Who's there?

[bobtheghastly]

[Looking around won't yield any results. But here, have some ominous laughter.]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha~

[Action]

[whatscaresyou]

[Hey, hey, does someone like ghosts? Because there's a Gastly floating towards Envy. The trainer's staying out of sight for now, just watching and seeing how the subject reacts.]

[Action]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy eyes the Gastly with a scowl. He's definitely warier than usual after the greeting he got when he appeared in Lavender. Is this one going to get up in his face or possess him or start stealing his life energy? Ugh, ghost types.]

The hell do you want? Go bother someone else.

[...this subject reacts to most negative emotions by turning them into 'angry'.]

[Action]

[whatscaresyou]

[Oh, no. That’s not the desired reaction for this experiment. This won’t do at all. Perhaps a different approach is needed. From behind the closest building, the trainer issues a quick command. He’s new to this, but this attack seems like it might provide the desired response.]

Phobos, Mean Look.

[Gastly drifts closer and attempts to give the most horrifying stare it possibly can at Envy. Terrified yet?]

[action]

[trailweblaze]

What is that?

<sub>[Not gonna lie they look a bit cree- OH GOD IS THAT A SHEDINJA OH SHIT OH GOD]

[Yes, Miguel's just gonna run for his life alongside you now, hope you don't mind]</sub>

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

[OH SHIT IS RIGHT]

Who cares what kind they are, just run!

[The Shedinja is following them at a much slower, and frankly more menacing, pace than the rest of the ghosts, which fly around the two of them in circles. Envy actually has to slow down a lot so that Miguel can keep up with him, and is kind of considering just picking him up and running because shit shit get away from that soul-stealing bug as fast as possible.]

[Too bad he's not the only one with that idea. The Haunter and Gengar want to play a joke on this other person, so they'll be trying to grab Miguel's arms and lift him into the air.]

[action]

[trailweblaze]

_{[Back home in Spain, being grabbed usually meant You Are Doomed, and, well. Old habits die hard? So Miguel will just casually panic and forget that he has Pokémon of his own and desperately try to throw the obtrusive ghosts off of him.]}

Envy! A little help!?

_{[It doesn't go very well though, and he is lifted some few feet in the air.]}

[walkwithbob]

<sub>[There's a laugh, somewhere, but it's hard to figure out exactly where it's coming from - it could be all around or nowhere in particular, like an echo.]

[It's kind of that wheezing, quiet laugh Envy probably knows from people trying not to laugh, but yet it's not exactly the same.]</sub>

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy's managed to get away from his ghostly pursuers by now, but he's still on edge. So when he hears that sound he stops walking immediately and looks around, eyes narrowing.]

Who's there?

[walkwithbob]

_{[He's not going to show himself, absolutely not. But there is something oddly restricting about the immediate area - a presence, of source. When he next speaks, the voice is inside Envy's head.]}

Oh... take a guess.

[piccolino]

[ENVY DON'T YOU DARE RUN OVER THE SMALL CHILD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.]

[exeggutorhead]

[GOOD THING HE SPOTTED SAID CHILD IN TIME TO RUN AROUND HIM wait a second]

[Was that...?]

[...man, he could technically pretend he hadn't noticed and leave Romano in the road as ghost-bait. But then if France found out he'd be upset.]

[OKAY FINE U-TURN. He's aiming to pick Romano up and run with him.]

What the hell are you doing here, brat?

[Whether 'here' means Johto or Lavender Town or the middle of the road, who knows.]

[Action 1:2]

[francia]

[France appears.]

[Just appears.]

[There's no flash of light. Maybe a bit of a shift in the air because it's been displaced by the sudden, unexplained appearance of France.]

[He's appeared without explanation or noticeable cause, standing to face Envy from whatever direction he's running towards, a look of absolute joy on his face -]

Envy!

[Action 2:2]

[francia]

[He appears about to say something else, but then he notices the ghost pokemon. Specifically that Shedinja.]

CHRIST!

[France turns and starts running, too.]
