Envious One

[Happy Halloween, Johto! Tonight, the 'Gear is in the hands of Little Bear the Teddiursa, who was going to help Envy pick pockets while everyone is wearing costumes and strangers wouldn't be able to tell who he is. Note the 'was'. The camera is focused on Envy, and it looks like he went as all out as he could afford for his vampire costume. The costume itself is your typical storebought Dracula outfit, complete with high-collared cape, but Envy's also dyed his hair black and pulled it back into a ponytail that trails down his back (because hell if he's going to actually cut his hair). He's covered his face and hands in surprisingly well-applied pale makeup, with dark shadows under his eyes that actually look like shadows and not like a raccoon. He also got his hands on individual tooth cap fangs rather than the plastic 'vampire teeth' given out at children's parties.]

[He's standing in the shadows and holding his cape up around his torso with one arm, talking to himself. In…an incredibly cliche Transylvanian accent? Which will not be typed out fully.]

There is too much light here! How vill I be able to hunt like this?

[Little Bear turns the camera back to himself, looking confused.] My trainer is acting funny! I thought he was just being silly at first but now we're not doing anything fun like he said we were going to earlier. How do I make him act normal again, I want to play and get treats!

[ooc: Very belated Halloween post! Anyone in Olivine is free to run into Envy at any point during the night, although be warned that due to his vampire-ness he may creep on your character some. If this is not okay with you, just let me know in the header!]

[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.))

[Today when the video comes on, Envy is pushing through the tall grass and bushes outside Goldenrod. He's looking extremely frustrated, and there might be a small bit of worry there too. He's got his Tyranitar and Houndoom out; Chimera is looking around from his higher vantage point, and Lucky is sniffing at the ground and whining in distress. They're clearly searching for something, and, if you know about Envy's dislike of asking for help, have been for a while now with no success.]

[Envy turns to the camera, still scowling.] Hey, is there anyone on Route 34 who's seen a little Pokemon running around? She's called a Tropius, I think. Weird looking long-necked lizard with…leaf wings and bananas on her neck, nothing you'd see around here normally.

She just hatched a couple days ago, I'd rather find her before she gets herself eaten or something.

[A frustrated sigh.] If anybody else finds her, let me know. She might try to fight you if you do find her, but hey, I'm sure something that young shouldn't be more than anyone around here could handle. [Although Envy tried to make the tone of his request more friendly, in this mood he can't help a small sneer. He's definitely not happy about having to ask. And on that note, Envy ends the feed.]


((ooc: Envy will be finding the Tropius himself in the next few days, so it will work itself out!))
