TESTRUN SHIT

[sadisticwarfare]

[It's a beautiful day in Ecruteak City. The sun in shining, there's barely any clouds in the sky, the birds are chirping, and it seems like nothing can go wrong on a day like today.

...Too bad someone's never been fond of peace and quiet. The bombs go off in the north of town at exactly 10:00 AM, and judging from the explosions, there were quite a few of them. Smoke billows from the Bell Tower, and judging from the citizens' panicked reactions, this definitely isn't normal.

Of course, getting into the Bell Tower is easier said than done, considering the fact that there's a building you have to go through first and several sages guarding it.]

[WOW THANKS ASSHOLE]

You're mistaken.

[RUDE AS HELL]

[preybeforemeals]

...My apologies, then.

[There's some slight hesitation behind it still, just because no seriously, that guy was Generic Nasty Skinny Guy #11 while you are certainly not-

...anyway.]

Are you enjoying the war?

[sadisticwarfare]

[We don't call Seth fat, okay. The Gallade and Gardevoir are looking a little nervous, but thankfully the question Tsukiyama poses settles both of them and their trainer.]

Of course. I wouldn't still be here if I was bored.

[preybeforemeals]

[Oh my god, he didn't call you fat, he just implied that you're not -

...oh.]

I don't suppose you have time for a few questions? Since your broadcasts tend to say you like evening the playing field once in a while...

[sadisticwarfare]

I suppose I can humor you.

[Just don't call him fat again!!]

[preybeforemeals]

[Okay, okay, apparently we started out on a bit of a bad note. Clearly, we don't call Seth fat.]

What is it you're attempting to...do here, exactly? Just war and chaos?

[sadisticwarfare]

I'm sure you've noticed how boring this place is. There's Team Rocket, but they don't act often enough for my liking. You can sum it up as "war and chaos" if you'd like; you wouldn't be wrong.

[preybeforemeals]

[Oh, that's interesting.]

It seems that we're destined to make this place interesting for each other, then.

[sadisticwarfare]

Are we? You haven't even introduced yourself yet.

[...Look, he's just going to pretend he never met you over the ugly sweater rack, this makes things easier on everyone!!]

[preybeforemeals]

Neither have you, not really, but that's beside the point, n'est-ce pas? You just want something to call me.

[And he just smiles again, slipping one of his hands behind his back while the other alights on his chest, and he bows rather deeply from the waist.]

Tsukiyama Shuu. The pleasure is mine.

[He straightens up easily once that's out there, however.]

[sadisticwarfare]

Indeed? Did you really come all this way just to have a polite conversation with me?

[preybeforemeals]

What if I were to tell you I admire men like you?

[sadisticwarfare]

[His default response was "You're a bit young for me" HANG ON LET HIM RETHINK THIS, this is awkward.]

I certainly won't turn down any flattery you feel like offering, but I'm sure you're here for some reason. If you wanted to talk to me you could have done it when I first announced my plans.

[preybeforemeals]

I could have, but I like it better this way.

[sadisticwarfare]

That's certainly an interesting response.

[preybeforemeals]

It's an honest one.

So tell me, amore - where do you plan on going from here? Surely just causing random chaos will bore you after a while.

[sadisticwarfare]

Perhaps, but I'm sure I'll find something else to entertain me.

[preybeforemeals]

[He laughs at that, quietly.]

You put a lot of time and effort into this, for one who has no plans for the future.

[sadisticwarfare]

I want to make these attacks interesting. If I went into this with no plans whatsoever, I'd be caught. There's no sense in running that risk.

[preybeforemeals]

So this really is entirely to stave off boredom...?

[sadisticwarfare]

What did you think it was?

[preybeforemeals]

Maybe you're seeking happiness.

[It's surprisingly not a sarcastic answer.]

[sadisticwarfare]

That's new.

[What does he even say to that...?]

[preybeforemeals]

Call me a romantic if you like, monsieur, but I firmly believe everyone is looking for that one thing they can't live without. Their raison d'etre, or perhaps joie de vivre - the ultimate life experience.

Maybe war is yours. Who am I to say?

[sadisticwarfare]

[He doesn't know what half of those words are or mean but uh, alright, he'll just roll with it.]

It's an interesting thought. Perhaps we'll have more time to discuss it later.

[The Pokémon in the shadows has alerted him to the presence of the Jennys and he really doesn't want to stick around for much longer.]
