"... So I just talk? I start talking? .... Now? ... What's the light mean? ... Oh! HI, I'M WRATH, THIS IS MY MAIL VOICE, PLEASE LEAVE A--" BEEP.

[OOC: Want to thread with me but don't have a current post to do it on? Wanna send Wrath a private message? Wanna prank-call him in the middle of the night and then instantly regret it as he dials you back over and over and yells "Hello? HELLO?" into the mic? Pop a thread on here with the IC date and time and let's get playing!]

_{[Oh, no. Ralph. Oh no.]

[Wrath's eyes narrow, and he pushes the plate of cupcakes away from himself.]}

Envy's not a good guy.

And I like it here.

_{[Envy, Lust, and the rest had, at long last, more or less convinced Wrath that their treatment under Master's stern hand was wrong and undeserved, but Wrath has no such beliefs about Team Rocket. He gets a bed, free food, and they hadn't even punished him for getting himself kidnapped and held captive for two whole months! Paycuts and getting yelled at or occasionally sprayed with a hose are so pale in comparison to what he's used to that they don't even faze him.]

[As far as Wrath is concerned, the place is basically a discipline-free playground.]}

_{[Ralph withdraws his hands as though he's been bitten and sucks his lips inwards.]

[Oh.]

[Oh whups. Maybe that...wasn't the best example. His mind races and he hunches down, trying his best to whisper and not cause a scene.]}

But Wrath! Think about it! What we do here--this is wrong.

_{[Wrath chuffs in exasperation. GOD, Ralph! You're so dramatic!]}

It's not like we kill people.

_{[To a former assassin, that's a pretty big downgrade on the 'bad' scale!]}

_{[Ralph stumbles over his words.]}

W-well! No! But! That doesn't mean we're not hurting people.

You shouldn't question the team.

That's being disloyal.

_{[His tone makes it clear that he is giving Ralph a STERN WARNING. Surprisingly stern for someone who is usually just kind of making sounds and running around.]}

_{[Ralph leans back, his huge hands now resting on the table. Oooooh boy this did not go how he planned. He had to look for an out and fast.]}

Ah...er...right. Right. Forget I ever brought it up.

_{[Wrath grunts by way of reply. He doesn't forget anything >:(]

[At the edge of the table, Truck had been sniffing curiously at the plate of cupcakes, and now he licks at the edge of the plate with a whine.]

[Wrath yanks the plate away.]}

Truck, no. We don't eat traitor food.

_{[It's been quite a few weeks since their little blow-up when Ralph turned over a new leaf. SURELY the little guy's gotten over it by now. Ralph rings him up on his lunch break, leaning outside the SECURITY door for the Poke'Mart in Violet City. He is wearing a blue uniform with his name on it and everything.]}

Heeeey, kiddo, you got a minute? It's me!

_{[Oh boy.]

[If Ralph expected Wrath to be over it... he's got a big storm coming.]

[The video turns on, and the answering face is NOT the face of a kid happy to see their old buddy.]}

YOU.

_{[It wasn't terribly hard to find Wrath when he was home. All one had to do was follow the path of destruction and scuffling sounds. When Henry does happen upon the boy, he takes a moment to observe what he's doing with the same caution one might when approaching a porcupine before clearing his throat.]}

Hey, uh. Wrath. Are you busy?

_{[The Little Wolf Prince in question is hunkered down in the upstairs hallway, determinedly scratching a hole in the carpet. The hole had probably been started by one of the Pokemon, but by golly, Wrath is gonna finish it.]

[He looks up at Henry wordlessly, most of his hair hanging in his face.]

[YES, HUMAN?]}

_{[Henry takes a moment to be thankful for his semi-permant blank stare. Otherwise he'd be curling a lip. Wrath was probably going to bury something gross there.]}

Hey, I was wondering...what would you like for Christmas? You've seemed kind of...down. And I thought. I could help.

_{[EXCUSE you, he only buries things in the yard and the blankets at the end of unmade beds.]

[His head tilts.]

[He is not used to Henry expressing generosity that isn't along the lines of offering him candy to make him leave.]}

Um.

You mean like a present?

Yeah, a Christmas Present.

_{[He doesn't feel like Wrath will have a very complicated request but he still finds himself weirdly on-edge. Henry is going to blame it on the season in general because it requires a lot of Peopling.]}

_{[He can't help it. He sort of squints at Henry for a moment.]

[Normally, just about anybody could hand Wrath something and he'd be like WOW THANKS!!!!!! but most of his interactions with Henry lately have involved fighting over the Ogre Hut, or occasionally being hollered at when he gets too close to all those candles.]}

... Something that I can eat, but that isn't poison.

I can't have poison in this body, or I will die.

_{[Henry blinks. Twice. Wow, that was easier than he thought! But just as creepy as he thought.]}

Okay. I'm the same way.

_{[Ralph nearly drops his gear at the burst of sound coming from it. Once he's stopped juggling it and hunches over it to turn down the volume, he gives the boy a little scowl.]}

Well that's a fine how'dyado!

_{[Wrath had gone back to scratching at the carpet, but he looked back up for a second, almost looking impressed.]}

It's brave to admit that.

_{[... It's a compliment, but well, coming from Wrath, it's as ominous as anything else he says.]}

_{[Wrath, meanwhile, gives Ralph a BIG scowl.]}

What do you want?

[ Walter's not confident in doing this but. He's fond of Wrath. He knows he cares about his Pokemon (the ones he's seen anyway). Wrath did give him a gift - a very weird gift but it was a gift - so he wanted to return that gesture. He sent Darkness ahead to get him, to lead him over to Walter; his house was not a safe place for Walter to approach, given he now knew who lived there. He turned as Darkness returned to him, perching on his shoulder and nodding to the younger Rocket. ]

Wrath.

_{[Wrath's sense of curiosity was a surefire way to get him to do almost anything-- it wasn't often that Walter actually went out of his way to seek out his company, so something interesting must be afoot!]

[He arrives on the back of his Granbull, who has in all likelihood at this point learned that Walter does NOT appreciate big slobbery bulldog kisses, and keeps his distance. Wrath, however, leaps right off and hops over to Walter excitedly.]}

Hello!

Did you want to see me?

I did. There's something I wanted to give you. [ Walter was glad the Granbull stayed away from him. Seeing 'Truth' the Riolu and 'Guardian' the Vulpix was helping his canine fears but anything larger than them still frightened him. He nodded to Darkness, who gave a loud, deep cry, summoning a flock of Murkrows. Some perched on Walter, others in nearby trees. ]

These are Darkness' children with Lyra. They're very capable Pokemon but I can't train them all or provide a proper nesting place right now... so, pick one to keep.

_{[OK Wrath time for a basic biology lesson.]}

Wrath...I think every living thing will die if it eats enough poison.

Well I was gonna see how my buddy was doing, but I guess he's not around. Could ya give 'em a message?

Well, yes.

But saying it out loud seems like tempting fate if you ask me.
