005. [Video]

[For what is possibly the FIRST TIME since this kid figured out how to hit the 'post' button, the video is actually STILL.]

[That's because he's set it down on a fence post. The pale, mystical feathers that have been coating every surface like magical dandelion fluff are drifting past on the breeze, but they're not the focus of the video. Instead, the 'Gear's camera seems to be pointed directly into someone's yard, although it's from a little bit of a distance.]

[The place is kind of a dump, with junk littering the corners and lots of weeds. A ramshackle doghouse is erected in the middle, with an upturned waterbowl that doesn't appear to have been filled in some time.]

[A coil of old, frayed rope is tied around one of the boards of the 'house' and at the end of it is a snoozing blue Vaporeon, ear-fins twitching lightly.]

[The view isn't especially zoomed in, but it's still obvious what the Pokemon is.]

[For a time, that's all the video shows.]

[But then Wrath speaks, his voice hushed.]



... I saw the man in that house come home and he didn't even PET her.

Or give her any food.

She looks sad.



[Half an hour later...]




[Now the feed shows HIM, and there's part of a rotten board stuck in his hair. And rope twines in his teeth. And he is cradling something blue that kind of overflows out of his arms in a pile of contented paws and fins.]

This is Sleepy.

She's blue and I love her.

[He sighs, sounding more like a disappointed father than anything. It's a good thing Greed's not really aware of it, otherwise he'd weird himself out.

But sure, let's pretend Wrath didn't steal someone's Pokemon.]


You gotta admit, the timing is a little suspicious.

[Kid.

Look, Greed is okay with a lot of things. He's the easiest person in the world to have as a father figure if you are a tiny monster person because he doesn't know how to be a parent, doesn't know anything about kids, and is a centuries-old homunculus. That being said, he knows enough about blending in to know that breaking into a person's house just isn't appropriate behavior.]


That's no good. You shouldn't sneak into people's homes, Wrath.

[...Honey.]

Kid, that man's probably gonna be looking for her.

Even if he looked like he was really mean to her.

[Homunculi logic dictates that the man really didn't deserve her in the first place. If he did, he wouldn't have left her unwanted in a home he didn't take care of to begin with.]

I'm not gonna say give her back.

[He couldn't. Not to a fellow homunculus, especially not to somebody's dead child.]

Just don't get caught, okay? No more showing off like this.

[Maybe it was the wrong thing to say...]

Listen, Wrath, I...

I don't want you to get hurt. I don't want one of those police ladies to come and lock you away. If you're gonna rescue another Pokemon, don't say where you got her from okay?

[Good.]

Keep out of trouble, kiddo.
