Eleventh Transformation [video/action]

[exeggutorhead]

[When the feed turns on, it's pretty immediately clear that Envy hasn't slept well in the last few days. There are circles under his eyes, and even his normally well-cared-for hair is looking unintentionally messy. In his free hand, one might see the crushed lemonade can he's absently turning this way and that. He's standing on the roof of the Goldenrod Department Store, leaning his elbows on the railing, and looking at the camera with a very carefully neutral expression.]

I've just recently found a pokemon, the one called Riolu. It belonged to Greed, but that bastard's gone and vanished. [His eyes narrow, but it looks like there's more than just frustration behind them; there's loss and confusion too. It's only for a few moments before he recomposes himself.] Anyway, it's small. Probably the egg he got for Christmas or whatever. I can't take care of some baby either way. [A wry look.] I'm not good with them. And I can't take every pokemon that idiot left behind.

So does anybody want it? If you're not in Goldenrod I can find some way to get it to you.

((ooc: This post made with permission by former Greed-mun. Riolu is level two, female, and has an Impish nature and likes to run. Envy would really prefer to give it to somebody that either Greed knew or he knows (unless your name is Alois Trancy), but if you're pretty clearly someone who'll take care of it he might still give it to you if he doesn't know you.))

[video -> action] laaate *apologizes*

[exeggutorhead]

[As he's been traveling with some poorly-dressed-for-winter Mediterranean dwellers himself, he sympathizes.] Yeah, I ran into the same trouble with the guys I'm with. They didn't even think to get coats.

[He starts heading down to the store lobby though, keeping an eye out for her. It's putting him in a marginally better mood that he'll get to meet her in person at least. When he sees her he waves and heads over. He's wearing a grin, although he still looks tired and a little disheveled. She might also notice the bandages wrapped around one of his hands.] Hey!

[action] it's okay~ I'm late too because of school ;A;

[endlesswitch101.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles.] Yes, Romano doesn't have any other clothes besides the ones he's brought from home. Still, I have to compliment on his endurance in the cold.

[She waves him and waves back at him. She meets him halfway. She sees the bandages on his hands, but she decides to hold that question for later.]

Envy, I'm glad that we finally get to meet in person~

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

Hah, it's good to see you in person too. It's been a while since we met.

I believe I promised to show you around the city?

[action] Sorry I'm late, I had volunteer work to do!

[endlesswitch101.livejournal.com]

It certainly has.

Yes, I believe so. I'm lucky that the Department Store is so big, or else I might have lost my way.

[Notice that she has the ring you gave her for Christmas, Envy.]

[action] Don't worry I am hugely behind on everything afsdsf

[exeggutorhead]

[He does notice that ring, and looks pleased that she's wearing it. He's got the gold chain she gave him on, but it's not visible.] I see you're still wearing the ring.

I could start by showing you the view from the roof here, then you could point out anything that interests you and I'll lead you to it.

[action] *pats back*

[endlesswitch101.livejournal.com]

But of course. It'd be a shame to let such a ring go to waste. Besides, it goes well with my other ring. [She lifts her hand so he can see the other gold ring on her hand. The one-winged eagle crest is engraved on it.] Do you still have the gold chain I gave you?

Alright, sounds good to me. Lead the way~

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

[He leans a little closer to look at the other ring.] Does the crest mean anything? [He then pulls back so that he can pull aside his scarf to show that he's wearing the chain, and grins.] Yeah, of course I do. I wouldn't lose a gift easily.

[He nods to her and leads them to the elevator, and once upstairs over to the roof's edge. Goldenrod does look good in the sun, even with all the snowmelt.]

[action]

[endlesswitch101.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is the symbol of the Ushiromiya family. It's a symbol that everything from that family is mine now. [She smirks a little at the thought. However, when she sees that Envy is wearing the gold chain the smirk becomes a genuine smile.] I'm glad that you continue to wear it.

[Beatrice follows him to the elevator, up the stairs, and towards the roof's edge. She stands next to him and looks over the city. Her blue eyes are wide in amazement.] So this is what a city is like. It's quite different from the island.

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

Oh? What power pieces of metal can hold. [He snickers, but gives her a friendly look at the smile. Those are something he's happy to get.] Well it is very nice, and it's much safer wearing it than leaving it lying around.

[On the roof, he leans his crossed arms on the railing, grinning at her amazement.] I can imagine.

See anything interesting?

[action]

[endlesswitch101.livejournal.com]

For that very reason I wear the ring at all times.

[Her eyes scan over the city before stopping on the radio tower. She points at it.]

That tower over there. [There's a slight pause.] I remember seeing some suspicious figures when I passed it last night.

[She doesn't frown, but she does continue to stare at the tower.]

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

Suspicious figures? [He's sort of curious, but it's not of much concern to him who's lurking around the radio tower since he doesn't work there. Envy is forever a jobless bum.] Strange, but maybe something interesting could come of it.

That's the radio tower, though, sends out all the broadcasts in Johto I think. I tried to ask about the music that plays all the time, but they didn't have any answers. [He shrugs. He's honestly gotten pretty accustomed to the mysterious background music.] It's allowed to look around inside some, and I've heard that it's possible to get out onto the roof even. I might try that sometime.

Oh [He's just remembered this], I talked to that Battler guy you told me about.

[action 1:2]

[endlesswitch101.livejournal.com]

[She smirks.] I hope so, then. After all, no one likes to be bored.

Oh, I see now. [Beatrice knew what a radio was, but because of her isolation, she's never seen a radio tower before either. She frowns a little.] They must know a way to stop this music. I've gotten used to it somewhat, but I'd rather not hear this type of music any longer. Don't they have anything less repetive?

[Her smirk returns.] Oh? Wasn't he a bit odd? Still, he's the one who's providing me entertainment back home, so I guess I should be grateful he's shown up.

[action 2:2]

[endlesswitch101.livejournal.com]

However... [A serious look crosses her features and she leans on the railing, placing one foot between the bars.]

He is from the future... He even told me so himself. Not only that, but there's also this person called Lion who has a very strange resemblance to myself.

[action] I didn't forget this thread I swear

[exeggutorhead]

If they do, they're not saying. They looked at me like I'd asked why water is wet or something when I asked. It'd be nice if they could at least change the music up every once in a while.

[He snickers.] I'll say. Don't think he much likes me either. [He looks curious though at the next part. Greed had been from Envy's future, that much they'd worked out, but it hadn't changed much and other than that he hadn't had any experience with that sort of thing.]

Resemblance? That's weird. [Envy is not a fan of strange, unexplained resemblances for some obvious reasons.] Did he tell you anything about the future?
