Envious One

[Today on Envy's 'Gear, there is a sad, worried Riolu face looking at everyone. Once it's on, Samus shifts the camera over to show Envy lying still on the bed, eyes half open and staring at nothing. Her trainer hasn't woken up yet, you guys, what if he just vanishes like her last two? So much distress here. Also in view are an extremely forlorn Tyranitar laying by the bed and taking up the entire space next to it, with his head resting next to Envy's shoulder. A Vaporeon is curled on Envy's chest, and a Luxray, Houndoom, and Arbok are all trying their very best to also fit on the bed despite collectively being about 300 pounds of giant cobra and dog and lion. It's kind of a wonder they all haven't managed to smother him yet.]

[But then, wait! Envy's head twitches to the side, and a small frown appears on his face. Seconds later, his eyes fly open and he jerks upright a few inches with a sharp intake of breath. Then he falls right back against the pillow, breathing heavily and his eyes still wide.]

..this is real?

[Chimera moves first. And for the next minute or so, all anyone would be able to see is a lot of fur and scales while Envy's pokemon loudly mob him with affection.]

HEY! Calm down all of you--Xerxes, no grooming, I've told youTAAAR [THONK] Ow, damn it Chimera be careful--

[And so on, until finally Envy manages to get them at least calm enough that he can grab the forgotten 'Gear himself. Despite his protests, though, he doesn't seem to have minded too much. He looks wary and completely worn out despite having just slept for a full week, hair going every which way even more than usual (especially the patch in front that fell victim to concerned lion grooming), and decidedly relieved to be out of those nightmares. In a moment, though, he's hidden most of that under a grin.]

Well, I'm back.

[He hesitates, very briefly.] Who else has woken back up?

[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.))
