Twenty-first Transformation [video/action for Ecruteak]

[It's been a while since the network last got any broadcasts from Envy's 'Gear; just a day shy of a month since he woke back up in Johto kicking and screaming. He's spent that time getting re-used to the world, getting used to being human and to everything that comes with it all over again. It was easier to manage this time, even after being gone a year, and he's not sure if he likes thinking about that.]

[But when the 'Gear turns on, it's not pointed at Envy's face, but up at the sky and the treetops. From the lack of buildings and the forest, it looks like he's out walking just outside of Ecruteak. The camera's following the flying form of a smaller-than-average Tropius as she wheels and skims along the treetops as fast as her leafy wings can propel her and actually looking oddly graceful for such an un-aerodynamic creature. She backwings right in the sight of the camera, neck arched like a question mark, and peers down at her trainer before she's off in another direction again. But she did stop long enough for viewers to catch sight of the little blue Riolu perched on the top of her head, looking perfectly secure in her footing. Apparently this is far from the first time the two Pokemon have done this.]

I still don't know how something looking like that can even fly at all.

[And there's Envy. The camera lingers on the flying pair for a moment longer before he turns the camera to himself. He's sitting on the back of his Tyranitar while Chimera lays out and enjoys the sun, so he's looking a bit farther off the ground than usual. Envy looks a far cry from the raging, wild-eyed person who woke up a month ago; he's back to looking composed and neat and just a little smirkish. Adjusted back into Johto? Mostly. Forgotten the reason why he was so angry? Hell no.]

There's something I've been wondering about, and I figured I might as well try the network. Does anyone happen to come from a world with a place called…'London', I think it was? I don't know anything more than the name, but--

[He's interrupted by a pair of loud, startled cries from up in the air, and the video tilts and wobbles crazily as Envy jumps up and off Chimera's back and lets the arm holding it fall to his side.] Damn it, Izumi--!

Watchers might be able to catch the remnants of a bright glow coming from somewhere above the screen before they'll see that Tropius make an extremely ungraceful, skidding landing in the dirt, along with a newly evolved and newly very dusty Lucario. Turns out that suddenly carrying a much bigger passenger while in the middle of some fancy flying trick does terrible things for your balance. Envy's already walking over to the pair of them, but they're getting to their feet and look like their only injury was to their pride. The now-Lucario barely even looks like that's the case, more concerned with looking over her evolved form with a mix of wonder and smugness.]

Heh, I was wondering when you'd evolve, Samus. [Envy sounds almost proud of her, and gives the fur on her head a ruffle with his free hand. Izumi makes an indignant noise and butts her head against his side to demand attention too. Envy sighs and relents, ending the feed to free up his hand before he winds up getting knocked over by a flying bananasaur.]

[ Jesus Christ Envy what have you been reduced to.

Have your alternate!sis judging you like hardcore right now because jesus christ 8|a. You've been training these little ugly chimeras?

Ugh, big sis is going to need to chitchat ]

[ Wait just a fucking minute...

Envy is here. ]

[ Have a nice, noticeable but very brief look of Lust's tattoo so you know who you're talking to.

It'll just focus on her breasts for the rest of the time because she's sort of overly paranoid about this place and the people in it. ]

I didn't expect to see you here. Remember me, Isabel? [ because using her sin name in public is hilarious and no bueno. ]

[Lust is about the last person Envy would have expected to get a response from in Johto, so forgive him for taking a moment to actually put things together.]

Isabel?

[Wait a second.]

[HOLD UP]

[IS THAT REALLY YOU BUT YOU WERE DEAD]

[Brosis when did you get here and why did he not know about it?! He is so happy to see you right now.]

Lu--

[Wait no, she was using an alias. He had when he'd first arrived too, so even if by now everyone and their Growlithe knows his actual name he'll play along. Besides, they did have enemies here now.]

[Watch his face insta-compose itself.]

Of course I remember you, how could I forget? Did you just arrive?

[ Oh Envy! You've been getting better with these faces and self-control :D ]

Sort of. I arrived a little while ago but didn't trust the network or communication device until I saw you. [ Which wasn't too much better. So boring. ] Mind explaining to me this place?

[It's much easier to do when he's happy and not angry :D]

[He is also perfectly happy to explain the situation to her directly without being infuriatingly roundabout like he is with every other newbie ever. Unserious mission briefing let's go.] Well, we've been dragged into this other world called Johto, no one knows how or why. And nobody can find a way to go back home willingly. Hell, I've been here almost a year. But sometimes people vanish and everyone assumes they've gone home. We're all given a Pokemon to train and fight with, and as far as I've been able to tell it's just the local sport and a way to fend off the wild ones. There's not much else to do. And you're lucky you didn't post that question to the network or you would've gotten fifteen people telling you all that over and over trying to be helpful.

Oh, and we've all been turned into humans, I'm sure you're happy about that. [He's definitely not and it shows in his voice, but since he thinks she's the Lust he knows, he assumes she's thrilled because it's half of all she ever talks about.]

[ Oddly enough, to Envy, Lust's blurry glare just seems to tighten as he goes on. It's clear she's not even remotely happy about this. ]

So in short, we have the basics but there's still several questions that need to be solved, which are the most obvious ones. Are pokemon some sort of chimera? I've been trying to learn what this one is for a couple of days. [ She'll pan the feed to Sneasel who boastfully stands, claws on hips. ] Number 215 has been oddly arrogant. It's pathetic. Besides, I these people seemed to be relatively helpless, and if this is all you know then these people must be clueless anyways. [ Helpful? A human? Not unless they're being manipulated or a meat shield. ]

Now, Ferdinand, why would be I happy about that? [ Staring into him like he just said the most batshit thing ever. ]

It's nowhere near all I know, my dear Isabel, I just thought I wouldn't throw everything at you at once.

I thought they were chimeras at first, but it turns out they're just the natural wildlife. Natural wildlife that can breathe fire and summon earthquakes and lightning if you train them enough. Much more useful than any chimera could be. [He glances at her Sneasel curiously, and smirks.] So that's the kind you got. It looks fitting with those claws.

[He's distracted from explaining more by her reaction to his jab about being human, and looks surprised. Dropping the smirk in favor of a small, confused and somewhat wary frown. And now setting this feed to private, nobody else gets to listen in on any homunculus-talk.]

I don't know, you're the one who most wanted to be one.

...What was happening right before you were taken here?

How surprisingly thoughtful of you. I could have sworn you were always more self-centered. [ Her smile widens into a bit of a more teasing one! Aka, Otoutou let your big kawaii onee-chan tease you desu ^_^

ugh i am getting stoned for that sentence in my sleep I CAN FEEL IT. Also, good work on the filter but she won't comment on this. ]

So this is another world entirely? Perfect. Just what I needed to get the job done. [ said in the driest sarcasm. ] Father won't be too pleased with this obstacle. Is there any other people here from home?

I suppose if they have this much power, it's very fitting. Only time will be able to test Number 215's abilities. Hopefully it won't disappoint, but I am not exactly a woman of hope. [ aka until this thing brings her home she's unimpressed. ]

I would never want to be a member of that pathetic, sad, race. Surely you must be joking. [ She states it in more of a command than a question. ] Besides, why would I want to go back on the evolutionary ladder?

The last thing I remember is stopping the Fullmetal Brat from going in too deep inside the laboratory. We both killed #48.

Both Elric brothers are here, along with Edward's mechanic, who I've already convinced that I'm friendly and helpful. And the Flame Alchemist is here too. Greed used to be here, along with another military guy names Maes Hughes, but they've both vanished.

[He lists all these off while he considers what she's been saying. There sure are a lot of things that aren't matching up :| ]

Now I've got a question for you. Who the hell is Father?

Edited 2011-08-28 19:19 (UTC)

Great. 3 out of 5 candidates. At least I have something to do. Nice work convincing Miss Rockbell that you're friendly. Even though we come from different worlds, at least you have your wits.

[ Her voice sounds drier and even more irritated at the different worlds. What a hassle. ]

Father is basically the man who created us. The original homunculus. I'll tell you his origins when we meet up, but if you have distaste for a man named Hohenheim, then I suppose it'll be an interesting story. [ she's studying his reaction so closely. She knows she can be a bit loose with information considering their alliance with her and his joy to see her, but she still keeps it tight. ]

Edited 2011-08-28 22:52 (UTC)

I should hope I have my wits after three and a half centuries of being a spy. [Despite his smirk, he's clearly a bit put out about her being a different Lust too. And at least now all the discrepancies between the stories he'd heard from the others and his own make more sense. A whole different world containing all the same people, who would have guessed?]

[At the mention of Hohenheim he noticeably looks more interested.] Distaste would be putting it lightly. I hate him more than anyone else in any world, so it should be an interesting story indeed.

A homunculus creating other homunculi? So you're not made by alchemists, then?

Three hundred and fifty years? My, my. That's around Pride's age. Where I'm from, you're about one hundred and seventy five, and the fourth oldest. I'm the second oldest, edging out around two hundred and fifty. [ She has the same apprehensions but she's not going to show them. Envy has proven himself to be a friendly resource, despite how he's older and from a different world and everything. |: Oh well. She'll just make do with him anyways. If they were friends in the other world, then that was something to be used here.

Her apprehensions weren't exactly diminished but they were lightened with his reaction. ] Then you'll be joyed to hear about the misery he went through for his foolishness.

[ she gives him the funniest look ever that should question why he even asked that question! What type of question is that?! ] No, why would we? Being made from a human? How embarrassing. Homunculi are the next wavelength of evolution, not something created to be subservient to a mere human. [ WHAT MEASURE IS A NON HUMAN. ]

Almost four hundred, actually, but there were some complications for a while after I was first created. [He's watching her just as closely as she is him, but he's hiding any wariness well under the smirkish grin on his face.] In my world, I was the very first homunculus created. You're actually one of the younger ones, not more than a few decades old.

[And he is certainly glad to hear about any Hohenheim suffering, even if it isn't his own. He'll let that go for now in favor of her next statements.] Ha, just because foolish alchemists thought they could bring back the dead and got us instead, that hardly means we're subservient to them. Homunculi are superior to humans in every way.

[ She just flexes her eyes towards him. ] Four hundred? My, my, things look more different than they appear. [ She'll gently tease him next. ] You look well for pushing four-hundred, I would have assumed you'd be in a home by now, Envy. [ His statement however perplexes her. ] One of the younger ones? Hmph. Your world has a lot to correct. [ She'll roll her eyes at being one of the younger ones. She likes her second oldest role, thank you very much. ]

We were made from the philosopher's stone, and have no connection to humans except Hohenheim, who ended up creating the person who made us and paid dearly for it. [ She's seemingly apathetic towards being connected to Hohenheim. ] We're the next wavelength of evolution, and it's a shame to see how many pitiful humans can think they can beat us.

[At her teasing, he pouts for a second before snickering.] Well, as you can see my form is as young and cute as ever. [Ah vanity, what would Envy do without it.] If anyone should be in a home it's our Pride. He ages like a human in my world, but if he's so old in yours I expect it isn't the same.

...The Philosopher's Stone, huh? Funny, that's what my master has been searching for all this time. It's too bad our worlds couldn't meet like we can here, it would make my job so much easier.
