51st Transformation [FOURTH WALL]

[When the loud crack sounded and the flash of light blinded him, Envy was expecting it. He's gone through this enough times that he's been expecting for the past week.]

[He was not expecting to suddenly be giant, serpentine dragon. He was also not expecting to have teleported to the top of the Goldenrod Radio tower, on top of the Observation Deck. The metal creaks and groans alarmingly under the sudden weight, and Envy wraps himself halfway around the giant antenna so that he doesn't just spill over the side from any sudden moves. Why oh why when he decided to take on this form back in his world, why he hadn't he given himself any arms?]

What the hell.

[It's not a question, he knows exactly what the hell. And while to him it's an angry mutter, it's actually not all that quiet coming out of a dragon. In a few moments, once he gets his bearings, he realizes that he could just transform back to a normal, human size and shape at any time. But on the other hand…there were an awful lot of giant monster movies on TV in October giving him ideas. And it's not like the natives will remember this if he just terrorizes them a little bit first.]

[So instead of changing back, he starts getting himself down from the Radio Tower, wrecking half the thing on the way down and landing on top of the train station, breaking right through the roof of it. He can't fly in this form, but it's not like moving through the streets like a giant monster snake and smashing his tail into walls isn't just as fun. Oh, he'll turn back into a person. Eventually.]

[ooc note: Your character is free to run into Envy being a giant movie monster in Goldenrod, or anywhere if you'd also like to run into him as just himself!]

[Envy will inevitably find Joker somewhere on the routes... and definitely not anywhere he should be, which is near Violet City. He's a bit self absorbed at the moment, looking about with a sigh as he searches for something.]

Just my luck, little thing ended up disappearin' on me...

Edited 2013-11-25 07:58 (UTC)

[Envy recognizes Joker when he sees him; it'd be hard not to, with that hair. Feeling curious, he walks over, waiting until he's right behind him to say anything.]

Lost something?

[He's now much paler than he would've looked over that video conversation, and his eyes have cat's pupils. So much for being "human as anyone else".]

Hm?

[Joker glances behind him, blinking a bit in surprise, before he's back go his trademark grins.]

Well if it isn't my good friend Envy! [You are his good friend after all, right? Of course you are.] Just lookin' for a strange little device that sort of spirited me away from where I was.

[Of course he is. Envy does raise an eyebrow at being called good friend, but decides to let it go. Joker seems to be that kind of person.]

Device? What'd it look like? [Envy has not run into the machine himself yet, but this sounds strange.]

A metal box sort of thing, around this big- [He tries to gesture with his hand to show the size.] There was somethin' red on the side but I didn't get a good look at that.

[Envy scratches his head; that is pretty weird.]

And it's what teleported you out here? Normally we just teleport without anything else making it happen.

[Ahahaha normally.]

[Sorry if he kinda ends up tapping your inner monologue here, Envy, but-]

'Normally'?

This whole mess has been happening every six months since I got here, like clockwork. Everything goes crazy for a few days, people return to their original forms from before they got pulled here and get warped all over the map. Then it's back to normal.

[Joker whistles.]

This place isn't strange enough? [He shifts his head a bit, just so that he's giving Envy something of a side glance.] Don't suppose that would have anythin' to do with yer eyes, would it?

[He smirks. So Joker did notice those. He could try to write it off as nothing, but then again he's found that most people don't care. And he does like to show off.]

It certainly does.

[He pauses for a moment, considering, before smirking wider.]

Would you still be interested in seeing my mimic act, before you go off looking for that device of yours?

[Well well well, that's an interesting topic to suddenly switch to! There's that smirk, too. This could potentially end up in a bad situation, but Joker's curiosity is a bit too strong at the moment so he grins back.]

Well I'm always one fer a show! Let's see what ya got.

[It's just easier to show his inhumanity than to tell about it. Especially now that he actually can show it, a rare opportunity in Johto.]

[He transforms, a bright white light traveling up from his feet to his head. And the form it leaves behind is a replica of Joker. Envy grins, tilting his head down and making an elaborate "bowing" gesture with one hand.]

This is what I can do on days like this.

[Joker isn't sure what he's expecting when that light suddenly shows up and, admittedly, he's a little tense. The similarities are already hitting him when the light gets to waist length and when it's all said and done? Joker's gaping, eyes wide and mouth gaping a little. He reaches over to touch Envy just to make sure he hasn't finally started to lose it.]

I'll be damned... [His voice hitches and he starts to laugh, shoulders shaking.] Almost makes me sad we don't have days like this more often, because this is more amazin' than I was expecting! Ya could do all sortsa things with a talent like that!

[Domri isn't in this for the terrorizing of the natives, though he's certainly doing so. No, he's in this for the sound of the glass curtain wall of that office building shattering, the fruit cart that just got trampled into a puddle of splintery juice, the destruction.

Currently he's riding an enormous wurm and surrounded by a herd of ragebeasts. Also with him are a Rhydon, a Cranidos, a Charizard, a Feraligatr, a Mamoswine, and an Onix, all of which are three times their normal sizes. His little army comes along an intersecting street, smashing everything that they can reach. When he sees Envy, he stops his wurm and holds on as it starts tearing apart a nearby building.]

Hey little wurm! You want to come smash stuff with us?

[His tone is a mix of how one would talk to a dog and someone who's having the time of their life.]

[Well well, aren't those some interesting beasts? Like giant chimera, although he doubts that's what they actually are. Envy wouldn't mind some company on his fun destruction adventure, but he really doesn't appreciate being talked to like that. His head was already off the ground, but he raises it higher, looking right at Domri. His teeth are bared in an expression that belongs more on a human than a draconic face, both a wild grin and a threat.]

Maybe I will. But only if you'll quit talking to me like that.

[The first time he'll let slide, he's aware he doesn't look like more than a beast.]

[Domri, for his part, doesn't give any hint of fear when dragon!Envy gets closer. The amount of adrenaline flowing through his body might have something to do with that.]

I've never heard of a wurm that can talk.

[His tone is now one for talking to another person of roughly equal status. He's not so stupid as to anger a wurm, even when he has a bigger one on his side.]

So do you want to come have some fun with us?

[Domri's wurm pulls a structural column out of the building and it collapses with a single huge crash. Domri's expression turns to maniacal glee.]

Good one!

[Envy nods, satisfied with the new tone. His toothy grin widens.]

Probably because I'm not a wurm, whatever that is. But sure, I'll join your fun. The more the better, right?

[He swings his tail hard into the front window of a shop, smashing through and very much wrecking the window display and anything inside near ten said window display. He cackles.]

Name's Envy, and what should I call you?

This is a wurm. [Domri crouches slightly and pats his mount on the head.] A medium-sized one.

[He laughs along with Envy.]

I'm Domri Rade. Come on! The ragebeast herd is getting pretty far ahead! We can't let them have all the fun!

[He doesn't wait for Envy's response before urging his wurm forward to catch up to the herd. He's not holding on to anything as he rides; he's simply in a slight crouch and maintaining his balance with his partially extended arms. The street is being torn up and store windows smashed just from the simple act of the wurm moving.]

[Envy easily keeps up with the wurm in spite of it being bigger than him, laughing and smashing as he goes along. Consequences-free destruction, what could be more fun?]

[When they catch up to the ragebeasts, he can't help but think they have an interesting design, and it would be nice to have some limbs...but they're so ugly. He could make a few tweaks...]

[When he's satisfied with the image in his mind, he goes ahead with the transformation. It starts at his tail and engulfs his whole body in bright white light as his form shifts and morphs. When it's done, he does look similar to the ragebeasts, although he's altered the head to have a longer muzzle and just look nicer in general. It's not like he has any intention of smashing things with his face thank you very much; he'd rather use his arms for that. And he's dark green, because if you're going to go with a theme you might as well stick to it.]

[He'll have you know that those ragebeasts are beautiful and noble creatures and he loves each one of them.

Domri doesn't notice Envy's transformation immediately, focused as he is on the path of destruction he and his animals are causing. While he could control them and give them specific targets to destroy it would take the fun out of this to remove the random nature of their charge. Instead, he's simply keeping them running and letting them decide where to go. The ragebeasts do seem to be slowing down though...

He holds out his hand towards the herd and tendrils of green energy flow over them for a moment. Instantly they speed up, all tiredness purged from their bodies. He glances over at Envy to see if his new friend needs a boost too, then does a double-take and glances behind him to see if dragon!Envy is trailing behind him. Does this mean that Envy's a shapeshifter? He has a moment of disgust [shapeshifting is a deceptive, intellectual magic (blue) that's opposed to Domri's unsubtle, impulsive nature (red/green)] before the thought occurs to him that shapeshifter or not Envy's joining in on this destruction too, so he can't be all bad. Domri resumes his maniacal grin and faces forward again.]

Is this your first time in a Rauck-Chauv?

_{[So the fun part about SUDDENLY APPEARING IN POKÉMONLAND is that it's not fun at all in the sense that you're really, 100% not prepared. At all.]

[But at least he has Altivo! He's on a horse and that makes it easier to navigate and find his way around, even if he probably looks out of place on an animal rather than a pokémon, but it's not like he cares.]

[No gear, though. So that's a bummer.]

[... but the traces of destruction is even MORE of a bummer, and he looks around uncertainly.]}

Whoa, hey. What happened here?

[A giant dragon happened here. And said giant dragon has also somehow managed to get himself really turned around. He's sure he's been around this block before already...he must have, all the people have cleared out already and there's shattered windows and giant craters in the buildings' walls.]

[He hears the horse hooves around the corner first, not unusual. There are plenty of people with Ponyta and Rapidash. But then he hears a very familiar voice too.]

Tulio?!

[It's a loud shout, oddly magnified by him being so much bigger, but it's definitely Envy's voice. He'll be coming around that corner onto the street Tulio is on momentarily, still as a dragon because Locate Best Friend is way higher priority than Remember To Change Back to Normal.]

Wh -- _{[That is loud, REALLY loud, and Tulio reflexively covers his ears just to protect his ear drums from the sound, but shouts in reply anyway,]} Envy?

_{[Because yeah, he'd recognise that voice anywhere. It's one of the few people he'd be LOOKING for, here. But when Altivo gets spooked and backs off from the big thing and oh my god is that a dragon that sure is some kind of dragon what the hell Tulio gathers the horse's reins with one hand and starts waving with the other in a somewhat crazy way that probably maybe means YOU'RE A DRAGON, DUDE, WHAT, SLOW DOWN.]}

Whoaaa whoa whoa - Altivo, easy -

[Between the Altivo and the crazy waving, Envy finally remembers that oh wait maybe he ought to be a person again. The transformation starts at his tail, with the lengthy serpent body disappearing in bright light until Envy is standing on the ground where his head was before. Once the transformation is finished, he continues heading for Tulio and Altivo, not able to keep a huge grin from spreading across his face. Because damn, Tulio, are you a sight for sore eyes.]

[He stops short a little ways in front of Altivo, not really wanting to get kicked by a spooked horse, and says simply:]

You came back again after all.

_{[Tulio was kind of a little busy trying to keep Altivo in check, but when the horse stops to stare and he looks up at the bright light and rapidly disappearing tail and oh wait there's Envy, he grins too.]}

Uh, sure, yeah - for now, anyway. Guess I didn't have much choice. Hey, what's with the flying snake thing?

_{[He dismounts as he speaks. Altivo remains where he is, still staring.]}

I just woke up as the flying snake thing when this started, no idea why.

[When Tulio is dismounted he walks over the rest of the way, clapping him on the back. He's glad to see you, bro. He glances at Altivo, snickering a little.]

And since when do you have a horse? [A horse that looks vaguely familiar, like he's seen it before.]

One of those days? Gotcha.

_{[He figures, of course. Why else would he be here to begin with? With a completely normal horse? Who looks mighty hesitant about being talked about, for the record.]

[Tulio 'tch's in answer to the question.]}

Since our oh so fantastic Miguel here _{[somewhere not 'here' but still]} decided it was more important to rescue a horse from certain death than ourselves, is when.

_{[Horse now looks affronted. Tulio slings an arm around Envy's shoulders with a half grin and gestures towards Altivo like he's a showcase thing.]}

Stuck around and earned his keep though. Kinda like you did, amigo.

_{[Henry doesn't know how he got to Goldenrd and he doesn't care. He's too mad to even be worried about the chaos going on around him or the possibility that the holes might open up again. Or to even have traumatizing flashbacks to the last time this happened.]

[He's walking along stuffing his much, much thinner wallet back into his pocket. A bunch of punks had noticed him training his wee babby pokemon (the Eevee and the Venonat) and had just about SLAUGHTERED him in repeat battles all because he dared to make eye contact.]

[Today was awful. He was gonna buy cigarettes with that money!]}

[Envy is looking for more hapless victims to chase around, but by now most of them have been smart enough to clear out of the streets when they hear about the giant snakedragon coming. He's carrying his head high off the ground because even if he's slithering that doesn't mean he has to drag his face along the concrete too. But that does make it easier for him to spot Henry when he comes around the corner to the street he's on.]

Hey! Henry!

[That sure is Envy's voice coming out of that thing.]

_{[Henry pauses, dropping a few coins of poke'money as he stares, wide-eyed- over his shoulder at the huge green thing slithering toward him.]}

....What...the hell.

_{[HE FINALLY SAID IT. HE FINALLY SAID THE THING.]}

[YEAH HE SAID THE THING. Envy stops a short way from Henry and lowers his head some, although even then he's still pretty much looming over him. He can't help it.]

It's just me, don't freak out. I woke up like this.

[Which he doesn't sound bothered by at all. He's been having fun with it! He makes an attempt at a grin, but it winds up looking more like...baring his teeth...]

[Dragon faces are hard okay.]

_{[THAT SURE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A GRIN...but it sounds like his friend in there.]

[And he's not currently missing the upper part of his torso, so...]}

Envy...why a dragon?

Well, why not? And like I said, I didn't turn into this on purpose. It just sort of...happened, when all this started.

Besides, it's kind of fun being a dragon. Haven't had a reason to change back yet.

[More toothy grinning. He's already getting better at making it look more friendly and less terrifying.]

_{[Henry blinks slowly and then looks down at his hands. He frowns. Why couldn't he have turned into a giant cool dragon? He sure could have used that about ten minutes ago...]

[...]}

Envy.

_{[The photographer dares to reach out and push against the end of the dragon's muzzle to get his head pointed in the direction he wants. It's easy to see the thugs that more or less poke'mugged him down the street laughing and counting their spoils.]}

You see those guys?

[Envy lets Henry push his head in the right direction, not really minding it. Friends can get away with stuff like that. He can definitely see the punks Henry's talking about, and his eyes narrow slightly.]

Yeah. Why, did they do something?

[Because if they messed with his buddy then he is going to wreck them.]

They caught me while I was training the little guys and wiped the floor with them. They weren't even at full health when we started. Cheerios never knew what hit him--he's never fainted before.

So, you're saying they don't like fair fights.

[He makes a sound somewhere between a snicker and a growl.]

Then maybe we ought to give them the most unfair fight of their lives.

_{[Henry nods with a tiny smirk growing on his face--that quickly disappears.]}

You won't eat them, will you? I just...y'know. Wanna make them rethink their life choices.

[Envy nods, and says with mock solemnity:]

No eating or maiming, I promise.

[He pauses, and then lowers his head all the way to the ground. He's grinning again.]

Here, hop on.

_{[Henry hesitates before he realizes that yes, his friend is hella serious and really...with the kind of day he's been having, some revenge was in order. He clumsily climbs up on the dragon's neck and takes hold of the fins that protrude from either side of Envy's jaws.]}

Let's ride.

[Envy waits for Henry to get on and get a good grip, then raises his head up high, like a cobra.]

Just hang on.

[CUE MUSIC, and off they go! Envy slithers quickly down the street towards the group of thugs, and as he gets closer lets out the most terrifying roar he can manage, almost deafeningly loud.]

[This is what happens when you pick on weaker trainers, they come back with a ~~Rayquaza~~ dragon.]

_{[The thugs are chuckling away down the street. One big guy with a Clefable and crossbones on the back of his jacket and two smaller guys displaying wild mohawks and pointy sunglasses are fist-bumping and sorting out coins.]

[And then a THUNDERCRACK of a sound rattles through the street, shaking the windows in their fittings and sending pidovs and pidgey up from their roosts.]

[The men look up and behold the terrible green beast and the nerd they just owned astride it.]

[Henry, Meanwhile, has one fist lifted high in the air like a ten year old.]}

Yeeeaaaaaaah!

[You know, there's something to be said about coming here once in a great while; sometimes you end up in places you remember, you have a basic gist of what's going on so you're not totally lost when you show up somewhere you don't remember, you're not completely damn wigged out at no longer being dead...and oh yeah, you're actually not dead anymore. That's a perk. That's a definite perk.

So it's pretty great, really. Made even more great by the fact that today Kimbley has awakened in Goldenrod, which is a city he recognizes (always a plus); of course, it's cold as balls (definitely a minus) but all in all it seems pretty balanced on the positive-negative scale and sitting firmly at zero when - ]

...Wow.

[That is a lot of destruction in this area, what the hell even happened here -

He takes a moment to poke around because no seriously, what even happened here, just kind of...surveying the damage - whatever caused it must have been either very huge or very determined. He buries his hands in his pockets after a moment, tilting his head a little to the side as he considers.]

Impressive work; I'm almost not disappointed that someone beat me to it.

[And the one who caused all the destruction is still close by. Just around the corner there are sounds of breaking glass and concrete being turned into rubble, and of course shrieking people. And above all of that, there's roaring and loud, cackling laughter.If Kimbley decides to investigate, he'll find one Envy dragon having a fantastic time of it. The one weird thing about the scene would be that there aren't any dead bodies or seriously wounded people around.]

[If he decides not to, Envy will be backtracking down the street he's on in a few minutes. It's the fastest way to the Department Store, after all. And you can't properly wreck Goldenrod without going after that place.]
