exeggutorhead: (gonna punch holes in the floor)
Envy ([personal profile] exeggutorhead) wrote2011-07-25 11:12 pm

Twentieth Transformation [video/text/action for Ecruteak Pokecenter]

[Envy's video feed turns on to the sound of very loud, angry, almost frantic shouting and a good view of what seems to be an elbow.]

This isn't where I told it to take me! I can't be back here!

[The elbow, which presumably was what turned the 'Gear on, shifts to show what's going on at a tilted angle. Looks like Envy has woken up from that coma, and not in a very good or sane mood. His expression is twisted into a furious snarl, eyes wild. He's weak from being out for so long, but that doesn't stop him from thrashing. He's desperately kicking his legs to free them from the twisted sheets and punching with his one loose arm at the arms of the concerned Tyranitar that's standing beside the bed and carefully but firmly holding him down. He doesn't seem to notice or care about how he's bloodying his knuckles on his Pokemon's rock skin.]

Let go! I need to get back there, this isn't--that bastard isn't here! This isn't where Hohenheim is and I'm too fucking close--

[His swinging arm knocks into the Gear with considerable force, enough to send it flying and then skidding across the floor before it hits a wall and the feed goes out.]

[It's not until hours later that a short, simple text gets sent out.]


I'm awake again.

((ooc: And Envy is back from his update! Note that since he is now at the end of the series, there will probably be spoilers in the comments. Video responses will come after he's calmed down more.))

[China jumped in his seat when he heard all the sudden volume coming from his gear. He snatched it from his belt and looked into it to find Envy flailing about.]

E-Envy?!

[Once he recovers from his shock.] I-It's alright now, you're awake, no one can hurt you now-- [Then he hears more.]

Go back where?

[video]

[identity profile] gochuugoku.livejournal.com 2011-07-29 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[During that time, China continued to call Envy, but to no avail. He can definitely see the difference in the other's expression.]

The Gate? But I thought you were trying to avoid like you did back in the dream, unless... you had a reason to confront it, aru?

[video]

[identity profile] gochuugoku.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Another world? Did you make it to the other side? [He sounds more worried about Envy than fascinated about the other world.]

Is it that Hohenheim character you just mentioned, aru?

[video]

[identity profile] gochuugoku.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I bet you that a dragon would be able to take you through whatever barriers are there, aru. It could probably tear through as though everything else was tissue paper. [Dragons were such powerful creatures after all.]

Who is he?

[A corrupt person in power, or what?]

[video]

[identity profile] gochuugoku.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Your... father? As in your biological father, or your master?

[video]

[identity profile] gochuugoku.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...

Do you mind telling me what you saw while you were in that coma? If not, then I understand, aru.

[video]

[identity profile] gochuugoku.livejournal.com 2011-08-18 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Like me then, aru. It was nearly a year for me too.

...That is. I am surprised that someone managed to create the Stone, aru.

[There is a hesitant pause before China speaks.]

What do you plan to do now?

[identity profile] fullmetalbro.livejournal.com 2011-07-29 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Hold on a sec! How the hell do you know HIM?!

[Video]

[identity profile] fullmetalbro.livejournal.com 2011-07-29 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I would. What the hell was he doing around you?!

[Video]

[identity profile] fullmetalbro.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Then what do you have against him anyway?

[Envy might notice that Ed isn't raging about Envy killing his dad...]

[Video]

[identity profile] fullmetalbro.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not a fan of him either. Bastard...

[My God....are...are Envy and Ed agreeing on something?!]

[Video]

[identity profile] fullmetalbro.livejournal.com 2011-08-10 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
How would you know about his parenting skills?

[He's not gonna let you go until he knows exactly how you know about him, Envy. Even if you hang up, Ed will continue to call you until you explode.]

[Video]

[identity profile] fullmetalbro.livejournal.com 2011-08-10 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Ed brain break in 3...2...1...]

YOU LYING SON OF A BITCH!

[Ed refuses to accept that he might be in any way related to this guy.]

[identity profile] fullmetalbro.livejournal.com 2011-08-12 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
I only don't know it because you're pulling it all out of your ass!

[Ok, he kind of has Ed there, but Ed isn't going to take any more of this crap. He ends the transmission. He's really got something to think about now...]

Just you thrashing around and yelling before the feed got cut.
greatbigrock: (angryglance)

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-07-30 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He'd been in another room but is very, very quick to come running when he hears Envy's voice. He skids to a halt right next to him and attempts to grab his arm and keep it down, preventing him from punching Chimera. You can't do that Envy, come on.]

[His voice is pretty harsh when he opens it, glaring hard at Envy as he does.]


Stop that, what the hell is your problem?! Cut it out!
greatbigrock: (frustrated rargh)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-07-30 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No-- Calm the hell down!

[Not strong at all, but the fact that he does manage a kick makes Tulio angry, and he grips Envy's arm tighter and reaches over to try to hold him down by the shoulder with his other hand, getting a bit more weight behind the action as he draws one leg up on the bed and leans down over him, glare still firmly in place.]
greatbigrock: (sadlookdown)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-07-31 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that ... is sudden, and Tulio keeps holding onto the other just in case it was a trick - but then he slowly lets go, sighs and sits down in the chair next to the bed, looking at Envy with something that isn't too dissimilar from concern - and a little caution.]

So ... you went back, then?
greatbigrock: (friendsneversaygoodbye)

[video]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-01 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He ponders this for a moment, then asks the question bluntly.]

Did you die?
greatbigrock: (leaving)

[action] ahahsfhds I didn't even notice

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-01 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He leans back in his seat, arms crossed as he considers this as well.]

So what the hell is your problem?
greatbigrock: (I'm NOT coming on!)

[action] haha no worries I feel that way half the time with Tulio anyway xD

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-02 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Because he's not the heartless jerk he passes for half the time - but it's nothing he's too familiar with in himself and partly he doesn't feel like admitting that he does care, so he responds simply by letting his face set and not answering the question.]

Some bastard if you're all worked up. [Deliberately quoting him, he looks at Envy with narrowed eyes.] Haven't seen you this pissed off since I met you.
greatbigrock: (confused)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-02 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eyes widening a little at that, Tulio looks momentarily stunned. Sure, there could be friction in families - but a lot of the time, family was all you had where he's from, and while he knows it might be different, he would have been punished for calling HIS father a 'bastard' or anything akin to that.]

What- why, what'd he do to you?
greatbigrock: (don't kill me)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-02 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. OH. Yeah, okay. That's a bastard right there. Tulio looks caught off guard at this information, and then a cross between concerned, sympathethic and a little scared - all in all not an expression that's common on him.]

That's ... [he tries to find a word and fails, and then ends up just ... changing direction.] -- okay, I get why you're pissed.
greatbigrock: (blow dice)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-04 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blink. What. He huffs, looking a little angry. He doesn't pity people - he hates the whole pity-thing just as much as Envy apparently does.]

What, were you getting any?
greatbigrock: (cool story bro)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-04 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah, you call that a kick? I'm pretty sure a five-year-old would've done a better job.

[...when they're not using slingshots, the bastards. And as much as he likes the safe topic (and takes a moment to bask in it, because these little fights with Envy are predictable and good), he's not going to forget what information he got just now.]
greatbigrock: (remember the voice?)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-18 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That was still kind of pathetic.

[But he's relieved you're okay, Envy, honestly. He pauses and looks at the bloody hand as well, then asks with some uncertainty-]

Do you need anything for that? ... like a nurse or something?
greatbigrock: (notsosure2)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-18 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, so he'll just linger for a moment - to make sure you're not going to start anything stupid the moment he's gone or something - and then goes off to find a nurse, bringing her back a couple of minutes later, and lets her fuss over Envy while he watches warily from the sidelines.]

[Yeah, he still doesn't trust hospitals entirely.]
greatbigrock: (eyeroll)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-19 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[...okay, so Tulio hadn't planned on helping him, but the lecture did go on for longer than necessary and he was starting to get irritated himself, so after a while he just smoothly grabs her by the shoulder and tries to be charming.]

Hey miss, I really think he's got it by now. I'm sure you've got somewhere more important to be, right? 'Sides, I can keep an eye on him.

-- but he needs to be properly informed and--

[After a while though he DOES manage to get her out of there, and he closes the door behind her with a roll of his eyes.]

Women, right?
greatbigrock: (that could work)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-19 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should learn to "stay out of trouble". [Mimicking the nurse's tone (not all that well, but the parody of it comes across clearly) he's almost leaning against the door as he regards Envy.] Then you wouldn't have to deal with them.
greatbigrock: (ten percent)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-19 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and boring's just too much for you to handle, isn't it?

[Hands on his hips, it's almost a challenge. Ah, the familiar trade of wits.]
greatbigrock: (that could work)

[action]

[personal profile] greatbigrock 2011-08-22 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he'll never admit it either, but he was worried and kinda missed you too.]

[Either way, he grins at that comment. Reminds him of someone else he knows:]


You should spend more time with Miguel. ... actually wait, no, don't. It'd be too much of a mess to clean up.

[Video] - LJ, you better work now ; ;

[identity profile] themechotaku.livejournal.com 2011-07-30 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[... What...? Wh---? Make Winry worried? Check. Make her extremely consudes too? Check. This is not any of her business but she can't just stay away from this post? Check! Ed might yell at her after this but nevermind that. Hell yes!

Did he just mention Hohenheim too?]


...Mister Envy?

[Video]

[identity profile] themechotaku.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ed told me that it's your name.

[Video]

[identity profile] themechotaku.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I make my own decisions. [And Ed didn't tell her much, he almost never tells her much. And at least she's just talking to Envy via this gear, it's not like she's being friendly face to face in real life situation right now.]

[Video]

[identity profile] themechotaku.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That's my own decision too. [She's a very stubborn and polite girl. Deal with it, Envy.] Unless you feel really uneasy everytime you hear it.

[Video]

[identity profile] themechotaku.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Then get used to it now. [Winry looks stubborn. She doesn't have a good enough reason to stop being polite to him, though she might stop it eventually, maybe. Who knows. At least she's doing it for now.

Okay, back to the worried mode because that's why she came here!]


Are you [Okay? No, not that.]... feeling any better?

[Action] laaaaate

[identity profile] used-fireblast.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Guess who else is in the Pokemon Center? Harry's been trying this whole grinding training thing with Lara, with the hopes that maybe she'll stop smacking him around if he does. The end result being that everyone's a little beat up, and resting up somewhere out of the heat sounds really good.]

[Harry might miss his magic, but it's nice to not have to worry about blowing up the Center's medical equipment just by sitting nearby. Still, old habits die hard, so he's dozing in a chair far from the PC and healing equipment when Envy wakes up and starts raising hell from his room.]


Hell-!



[Harry's up and in Fight-or-Flight mode pretty quickly, but Lara manages to beat him to the punch, bouncing rather painfully off his lap and shooting off towards the source of the noise. Harry's after her, but she's got just enough of a lead to beat him to Envy's room.]



[There is clearly only one proper response to the scene she finds, and that is to attempt to strike a badass pose in the doorway. And then dive at the flailing trainer like a very short, stubby, flightless superhero.]

Re: [Action] Ghost Story has not helped with my activity, I admit

[identity profile] used-fireblast.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Ever seen a one-foot Cabbage Patch reject trying to glare down a giant rock-dragon? You have now. Lara lands on the floor next to the bed, doing her best approximation of a wire-fu pose.]

Lara, get back here, running in like an idiot is MY jo- oh.

[And enter Harry, standing in the doorway to find -putting it lightly- a tense scene.]

Tell me you didn't just challenge someone to a duel, Lara.
