First Silver Spoon - Joint Post, Video/Action for New Bark
[The boy who appears on the other end of the feed is sitting outside, in New Bark Town, if the gently waving trees and the windmill in the background are anything to go by. He appears deep in thought. In contrast to this, a sharply-grinning face appears over his left shoulder, all teeth and claws and hard, cold, gemstone eyes. Since Sableye aren't native to New Bark Town, that must clearly be his starter.]
Out of one game and into another, then.
[Piercing green eyes meet the camera from behind white-framed glasses.]
I presume I'm far from the first person to come here. ...Perhaps, even, not the first from my world – since this obviously is not the world I come from. I may have catching up to do, but mark my words: Byakuya Togami does not lose. Anyone who stands in my way will fall. So remember my face, and don't waste your t—
[But then, abruptly, the feed goes wild and veers away from his face; hopefully nobody watching gets motion sickness, because if so, they might want to avert their eyes. But given the angle and direction of the camera shift, combined with the brief flash of the boy's astonished expression before it disappears completely from view, it seems that someone has just snatched the Gear right out of his hand.
Which would be an entirely accurate conclusion to draw, really. Suffice to say, the camera is now displaying a rather attractive shot of the tip of someone's boot and a fair expanse of slightly matted grass.]
Don't be so quick to sacrifice your anonymity with needless posturing. There's nothing to be gained from ceding that advantage — particularly not in a place where that name almost certainly means nothing to anyone.
[...Does somebody want to get this man some ice for that burn.]
[The aforementioned boy huffs in the background, his hand appearing on the camera as he tries to take it back like a nerd who's become the victim of a cruel game of keep-away.]
Have you even read the training manual? A place that asserts the goal of becoming "the very best, like no one ever was" is not a bastion of subtlety.
[Then, almost sulkier,]
When did you even get here?
[JUST WHEN HE THOUGHT HE WAS SAFE.
Eventually, though, his superiorheight and reach everything manage to get control of the Gear back, and amid the shuffle, the second voice speaks again.]
About twenty minutes ago. [A beat.] I've been looking around. Haven't you?
[Even when his gear is back in his own possession, he doesn't bother aiming it at his face. However, he will flash Johto a shot of the lovely, lavender-haired girl who so rudely interrupted his arrogant pontificating.]
I've been reading the materials provided about this place and the creatures who inhabit it. [A smug, punchable beat.] Haven't you?
I wanted to see what my own investigations turned up first. But it'd be useful to see how much of my evidence is corroborated by yours; turn that off and let's compare our findings instead.
[For the first time since the girl appeared, Togami actually pays attention to the gear, and he scowls at it before flicking the camera off as requested.]

[The Sableye's mouth splits into a pointed grin IDK IF YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT GENOCIDER, FUJISAKI but yeah
there's a resemblance]
It could be beneficial, yes. But from what I've observed, it's not particularly strange behavior.
no subject
Hmmm. No, he thinks that he's mostly good.]
They do get attached pretty quickly... Um, most of them, anyway.
no subject
Most of them? I was under the impression that these creatures are by and large inexplicably happy to be bound in servitude.
no subject
Sometimes, you can adopt them where they used to belong to other trainers... and they don't obey that well. So I've heard, anyway.
[From Mondo.]
no subject
[Interesting to note.]
Have you examined the capture devices? The fact that something so small can contain any different creature of presumably vastly varied sizes is remarkable. And living creatures can be stored in computers.
no subject
It seems as though Pokémon are converted into some kind of energy. They'd have to be, in order for the big ones to be able to be stored inside.
[Like his luxray which is, well, about his height when she's standing. Not that he's that tall but hey, nevertheless.] I'd like to know more about their design, but... Most people who are even from this place don't know how they work for certain.
no subject
He hides the glance just offscreen by pushing his glasses up on his nose, and then clears his throat to reply:]
The information you've been able to give has been quite useful, Fujisaki. I appreciate your cooperation.
Can you think of anything further we should know setting out?
no subject
[Yay, he's been useful! So he's smiling, pleased.]
Um... Well, when I first arrived, someone sent me a beginner's manual that was useful when I camped and everything...
[So he sends that along. You know, just in case. How used to camping is Togami? Probably about as used to it as Chihiro is...maybe.]
Otherwise, I think that's it...
