imthe_shit | [ Video ; Action ]

[Snake's sitting in a small park inside Goldenrod, which wasn't much of a park. It was a few benches and a lot of snow, any main attractions covered by the snow, or only appearing in the spring and summer. He's actually not sitting on the bench, surprisingly, but rather he's in the snow and leaning his back against his Torkoal, Marlboro. The Pokemon is quite large now, he's surprised how quickly it grew within the last week, but he wasn't complaining... After all, Marlboro was pretty much a walking furnace.

Felt good, man. At the same time, Snake's enjoying a smoke, cigarette smoke mixing with the smoke coming from Marlboro's shell and nose before dissipating in the crisp winter air.]

Hnn.

[The video feed clicks on, Snake setting it in the snow nearby and relaxing again.]

My Dex said Marlboro eats coal. I'll need to find a good supply, but I'm not looking forward to buying a lot of the crap and hauling it around. I'll need some suggestions.

[ooc: PRETEND THAT SNAKE IS DRESSED IN WINTER WEAR he's not actually wearing a t-shirt. despite the snow being melted around them, Marlboro can't cure the need for winter jackets.]

Where are you, by the way?

31. We had to backtrack for what... the fifth time? I hate this road.

Sounds rough.

If you make it to Union Cave, mind checking it out for some coal?

Will do. Where are you now?

I'm in Goldenrod right now.

Lucky. I hear that's where all the best action is.

It's pretty big... and busy. A lot of people are always about.

Definitely sounds more exciting.

You'll get here eventually... If you catch an Onix, it makes the trip here easier.

It's not my pokemon slowing me down. Just the idiots I keep an eye on.

... Well, still. Having an Onix could be pretty useful. Could carry the people you're traveling with.

Maybe. If nothing else I could it to squish Straw-Hat and maybe get Hina to shut the hell up for once.

Straw-Hat...?

My prey back home.

Little kid here.

It's complicated. [Sighs.]

....... [Those were not the right words to use, Smoker.] Your... prey...?

Tch. He's a pirate. He wants to be the next King of the Pirates.

I've never had a single pirate escape my town since they assigned me there; except one. And he's got the same damn grin facing death that Gold Roger had. It's my job, my duty to catch him and bring him to justice. On my honor.

... Oh, that kind of prey...

[Well, at least he's not a predator...] King of the Pirates? Sounds like a... special goal. [Clears his throat a little.] So why are you looking out for him?

[Just a hunter.]

Because... he's just a kid here. He hasn't done anything yet to truly make him that much of a pirate, never mind wanted by the government. And someone has to keep an eye on him or he'll run wild like a retarded crazy animal.

... Just a kid, huh...

It's frustrating, I imagine, to know what he becomes.

So. Fucking. Much.

I can't stop it, just try to learn whatever I can so I can stop it back home. It's just... frustrating.

... Yeah... I understand that. [The situation with Liquid was a bit different, since he wasn't entirely innocent, but... It was difficult.]

It doesn't help he doesn't act like a Pirate King... should. You know?

[Rubs his chin thinking hard.] Idiot saved my life while I was trying to arrest him. Even though I swore to still catch him. [Shrugs and rolls his shoulders.] Moot point I guess.

That kind of guy, huh...

Maybe his idea of being a Pirate's different than most.

It is. [Grunts.]

He doesn't directly kill anyone, which I can respect. Still a pirate though.

Hnn... Just the robbery then?
