Envious One

[Video]

[Hey, Envy's actually turning on the video feed on purpose today! He's been pretty scarce since Nanao disappeared, but these last few days of the singing Pokemon appear to have caught up with him anyway. He's grinning from ear to ear, no trace of a smirk for once, and actually looks genuinely happy, something the grand majority of Johto has probably never seen out of him. TODAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY, GUYS.]

You know, I think I like Valentine's Day.

[He laughs.] It's finally warm out, and I even got an egg this morning. Anyone know what might hatch out of one that's red and black?

[…well at least he'll be happy about having to take care of another egg for one day. And he sounds particularly pleased about the colors. He leans a little closer to the camera.]

And I've got a date tonight. [He's so happy over this. It looks so weird on him. But he's clearly very, very proud of this fact and he wants to share it with all of you because you're all his friends right? Friendship is the best!]

I think I get why this holiday's so popular now.

[That seems to be all for now, and with one last grin, Envy shuts off the feed. thank goodness]

[Action]

[Envy's taking advantage of the nice weather to wander the streets of Goldenrod! He's got a smile on his face and is full of nice, friendly feelings from the Pokemon singing. This may be your only chance to encounter him being this pleasant, take it while you still can!]

[The 'Gear feed flickers on to show the bored-looking face of Envy's Lucario; behind her are shelves stocked with a variety of instruments and music books. Yep, looks like Envy is out and about despite the cold weather, and has wandered back to one of his preferred haunts in Goldenrod: an quiet little music shop. Samus turns the camera this way and that absently, so viewers will catch a few glimpses of Envy sitting at a table nearby, hunched over something. It's too quick and shakycam to really get a good look at what he's doing, though.]

[Samus is so bored, she wants to get out and run around in the snow, not sit here in a store for ages. It's not long before she gets tired of playing with the camera and sets it down on the table. Her trainer probably won't notice if she just gets up and goes out for a little while, she'll come right back…and there she goes, the camera just catching her heading towards the door. But hey, there's a good view of Envy now, if not of the papers he's working on. He's definitely bundled up for the cold weather; the only thing he's not wearing are gloves, and those are visible off to the side. He scribbles something on the paper in front of him with a short, worn down pencil before scowling and erasing it, because erasers will just have to do when you can't actually burn holes in the paper with your glare. Following that, a whole series of more enthusiastic scribbling earns a long, considering look and then a satisfied smirk before he moves on. It looks like he's been at this a while, judging by how the sides of his hands are smeared with pencil lead.]

[He completely didn't notice that his Pokemon just ran off without him or that he's being recorded. Whatever he's working on, he's focused for once. Even if 'focused' looks mostly like 'mildly angry'. He's also muttering to himself.]

Almost finished...

[ooc: For action, feel free to run into Envy inside the music shop and watch him jump a foot in the air, or encounter Samus the Lucario outside! Envy will notice her missing soon and be out looking for her.]
