[video] DRAMABALLS AWAY

[RIIIIING. RIIIIIING. RIIIIIIIIIIIING.

What little asshole pulled the fire alarm? Who knows, but after about 30 minutes of being herded to and milling around on the grass, it's announced that this was likely a prank since there's no discernible fire anyone can identify. It's safe to return back to your dorm rooms, and REMINDER; DON'T PULL THE FIRE ALARM AS A PRANK OR YOU WILL GET DETENTION!!! Seems like another ordinary day at Smash Academy, right?

No, there's something a little more ominous in the air...]




Attention, Smash Academy. This is Mayor Tabuu speaking.

[Whoa, something must be really important for him to address Smash Academy's network specifically.]

Eggman is a filthy liar. He's betrayed all of you! The insipid, fat, lumbering oaf is abusing his power and must be stopped.

[Wait... didn't... Tabuu authorize Eggman into Martial Law? Since when has Tabbuu used such flowery insults? SOMETHING WEIRD IS GOING ON.]

He's turned against you, and is robotisizing your own kind! Eirika's been missing from our--your fair academy and this is why! She's been kidnapped by him and was robotisized! If he's not stopped--

[BZZZTTTT--KSSSSHHHHH--! Suddenly, static! WE ARE INTERRUPTING THIS FEED FOR A VERY IMPORTANT HIJACK...]



ATTENTION, SMASH ACADEMY! Listen close and listen well! I am Dr. Ivo Robotnik, the world's greatest genius, and YOUR SAVIOR! I come to you with DIRE NEWS... Your beloved Mayor Tabuu is a FRAUD! An IMPOSTER, created to impersonate him and deliver this city into the hands of your REAL nemesis! Not I, my subjects, someone FAR worse than me!

I speak, of course, of one SETH RICHARDSON! Yes, your friend Seth has been a VERY busy boy this past year! the DRUGGED LOLLIPOPS he's been feeding into the city have caused no end of trouble for everyone! But that's not the LEAST of his crimes... No, with the money he's made from the drugs he's sold, he's created POKEBALLS capable of capturing ANYONE, even HUMANS! And replacing them with PERFECT DUPLICATES, completely subservient to his will!!

I have done my utmost to PROTECT you, to keep you SAFE from the madness Seth's machinations have wrought! And now it's time to STAND UP and TAKE YOUR LIVES BACK!!




Me? That's laughable, truly laughable! How desperate must you be to point fingers at someone such as me, you insipid, fat, lu--bloated worm! Who's honestly going to believe you with your track history? Who could've forgotten your ridiculous and stupid Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park? Or that time you tried to eat everyone's history? Face it, you've had your fun and your time is up. Tabuu wants you out and so does everyone else. If anything we should be standing up and rising against YOU!

Besides, where did you even get all this nonsense about me? I'd like to see some evidence, if your tiny, feeble, cotton-filled brain can comprehend that.


Oh, you're going to EAT those words, you smug, freckle-faced punk! You see, I got all this information from a rather reliable source. Our mutual friend Ulki, who happened to overhear your discussion with your SUPPLIERS, filled me in on ALL the juicy details he overheard. He even brought a little surprise. But don't take MY word for it...

[The camera pans to the side. Ulki is there, flanked by two Badniks. In his hand is the stolen Catball.]

See for YOURSELF.

[Seth stares blankly at the screen, even paling a little bit. Mary... He'll kill her! He'll kill her a million times over. Seth manages a twisted smile but resolve is cracking. He's sure Eggman isn't trustworthy and he could convince everyone else of that, but the bird...]

Ha... ha ha ha! So what? That could be a rock with a pawprint on it for all any of the lot of you know!

[Ulki looks hardly so convinced. ]

Shall we open it then? Besides, [He spins the ball around in his hand, showing the pawprint that was previously obscured.] How could you have known that?

[Seth is brilliantly caught in his own lie, worse yet, he still jumps too eagerly at the chance to cover it up.]

No! Don't! [His lips twitch and his smile is a bitter one, forced and seething.]--You don't know what that would do... do you? You might push a wrong button and hurt whoever's inside. I wouldn't put it past either of you, given your penchant for blatant idiocy anyway.

[Camera pans back to Eggman.] HURT whoever's inside? Now there's an interesting thought... Since when has letting a Pokemon out of their ball HURT them? Now I'm DOUBLY curious to see what's inside! Or would you rather just CONFESS?

Why don't you confess to being unwanted? You're an utter failure at everything you do! None of your plans has ever worked and for good reason: they're dumb. Your fiancé could have picked so much better.

[WISE AND MATURE WORDS FROM SETH RICHARDSON.]

YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET BRINGING HER INTO THIS, YOU PONCE!!

Now hear this, everyone! I am calling for the ARREST of Seth Richardson! Soon my robots will arrive at the academy gates to assume control of the school until he is IN CUSTODY. Submit, and you will be spared. Resist, or otherwise interfere with my efforts, and you will be ARRESTED and ROBOTISIZED INTO MY ARMY!! THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!!


[Seth makes a grande display of open arms, smugly psychotic grin plastered on his face as if to say, "Dare ye cometh at me, sir?" The fact Eggman just declared robot season open is just as bad as the next line out of him:]

You have no control over me. I'd sooner die then let my plans be interfered by a corpulent, tactless, wretched ignoramus such as yourself! I'll take what's rightfully mine from you whether you and your bushy, unkempt mustache like it or not. [He makes a fist at the screen.] Considering you an equal gentleman would be an insult, so instead of proposing a fair and just duel, I'll promise you this: If you so much as show your face around here or FDC and get in my way, I'll fucking rip you apart!

[WAIT HE'S NOT DONE YET--Seth ducks out of the screen just a moment an returns with something around his neck. Yes it's Flurrie's big balls necklace he's fingering coyly.]

Oh, and tell Flurrie if she wants these back she can come and get them. They're not quite my size.

[Eggman's hands clench into fists of rage.]

YOU... WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, YOU'LL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE SCRUBBING FLOORS AS A CLEANING BOT!!

I quiver with fear!

YOU WILL BE!!

Rhys had gone to the bathroom. Or went to get supplies. Or went to get supplies for the bathroom. Mary, admittedly, had not been paying too much attention when he explained where he was going, nor did she have the energy to put up much of a fuss about it. She didn't really want to be left alone, but she was so emotionally drained that staying away from other people seemed like a nice thing for now too.

But her solitude didn't last very long before she got an unexpected and unfamiliar visitor with an excellent choice in words. Her face twisted, looking to be on the verge of another tearful outburst, but she had no tears left to shed. In her embittered state she moved to Alaska to surround herself with huskies.

"No, I got pushed," she whimpered.

Naoya chuckled, somehow finding mirth in this hurt young girl's vulnerability. "I stand corrected," he said, almost playfully. "You were pushed because you were weak. Such is always their fate."

Tucking his hands into his billowing sleeves, he slowly approached to take a better look at her. "But... you don't have to be weak forever."

But strength was for big tough guys, and she was just a little girl. It was supposed to be okay for her to be weak. Mary might have just gone on thinking like that if she hadn't ended up falling victim because of her own weakness, and now that Naoya pointed it out, she found herself suddenly loathing that part of herself.

She was strong back in the gallery, strong enough to hold her own against Garry when she needed to and get out of there. But this world, she was noticing, was nothing like that. It didn't bend to her whims and was full of betrayals.

"I hate being weak," she hissed, looking away. "If that's why I got pushed, then I want to be really, really strong!"
caincarnate: (What you have received)

it is whatever DS colour you want

That was exactly the kind of answer Naoya was looking for. Such resentment in her voice, such hurt and frustration in her eyes - a perfect candidate to become a demon tamer. What would she do once she received such power? The programmer simply couldn't wait to find out.

"Then I'll leave this with you." From out of a sleeve, he pulled out a shiny new COMP and placed it down beside Mary. A colourful, innocent little device that contained untold potential within; it lay there, waiting for her to pick it up and become its master.

"It's a tool, to use however you see fit. It will give you the strength you desire." She wouldn't have to take orders from anyone ever again - Naoya certainly wouldn't be one to police her.

It's totally the special Animal Crossing one.

[personal profile] paletteknife 2013-09-05 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh?"

She put her hand over the COMP, narrowing her eyes. She knew exactly what this thing was...

"I don't mean being strong in a video game!" The nerve of this guy, getting her hopes up like that. At least a video game would be fun to play while she was stuck in a sick bed.
caincarnate: (Sweetness)

LUCKY...

Naoya laughed at the misunderstanding, but didn't correct her. She would discover the COMP's functions soon enough - and he wasn't one for handholding anyone, not even children. The programmer's part in this was complete.

"I meant what I said," was his cryptic reply, looking thoroughly amused by Mary's indignation. Though ignorant, her outburst was fuelled by honest desire. "Just hold onto it. In time, the means for true power will be in your grasp."
paletteknife: (Tastes as sweet as the punch)

[personal profile] paletteknife 2013-09-09 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Cryptic as he may have been, Mary didn't have even the slightest suspicion of any hidden meaning behind Naoya's words or present. She turned the little system over in her hands again and again, trying to work up the mood to play something. Hopefully it was a cute game like Pokemon Ranch or Hello Kitty Island Adventure instead of one of those boring shooting ones.

"Um... Well, thanks for the game, anyway..."
caincarnate: (Idle entertainment)

[personal profile] caincarnate 2013-09-17 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Naoya tucked his hands back into his sleeves now that his task here was done. "We'll meet again," he promised with a warm smile. "May you thrive until then."

That said, the programmer stepped away and ghosted out through the door, as though he was never there. The clacking sound of his wooden sandals echoed after him a little while, and then they too, were gone.
