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.

Yeah, and now everyone knows where you got her.

[Come on Wrath hide the evidence he knows he taught you about that.]

[It doesn't really occur to Envy that he is using the tone that he used to when he'd try and teach Wrath something, it just sort of comes out that way.]

[Cole, who is toting a bagful of eggs and keeps needing to stick his feathers back into his hat, didn't see the first part when it went up, but... he takes his time with it once he does have the time. it's an interesting post, and a concerning one.

he's curious and wants to follow up, but by the time he does, the second part is already in.

he thinks he understands what's happened here. and... smiles about it, speaks quietly so he doesn't bug the sleeping Pokemon through the 'Gear.

She is very pretty.

And she looks happier now...

[she's gone from being at the end of a rope in a yard to a child's arms, and she doesn't look uncomfortable over it, so of course she does. she looks loved!]

You helped her?

[...Al feels very conflicted right now. On the one hand...stealing is bad. On the other hand Al consistently wants to punch neglectful pet owners in the face, and even from that quick shot it's clear that poor Vaporeon was not being taken care of. Al honestly wonders if the guy will even report it to the police.]

[Still, gonna lock this in case an investigation does come up.]


It looks like she loves you, too. Just...be careful that you don't get caught, okay? You did the right thing, but it's still technically a crime.

[Envy just scowls at that defiance. Damn it, Wrath.]

Oh come on, nobody needed to see it.

You've still got half the doghouse stuck to your head.

[Al's able to ignore the tone at this point, and just rolls his eyes in amusement.]

There's still bits of rope in your teeth, Wrath. I agree with what you did, I just want you to be careful.
oubliet: (what do you think i'll learn next?)

[hey, Cole asked if he "helped", not "stole"!

but yup, that still answers it... and aww, it makes Cole even happier for the kid and the Pokemon!
]

You should...!

[and he doesn't sound like he doubts Wrath will.]

You already look like you worked very hard.

[pause. afterthought.] As long as you don't feed her too much. I don't think any animals like eating so much it starts hurting... or people, either.

[whichever one you count Pokemon as.]

I never said anything about CARING.

[It's not like he cares or anything!]

But what are you going to do if the cops take your new friend away and hand her back to that guy?

[...]

And I'm not jealous, either. Why the hell would I be jealous?

[... Okay while he still hasn't actually stolen any Pokemon from anyone, he's pretty sure that doesn't really count. The guy probably won't miss her. Still.]

Wrath... next time either don't show her belonging to someone else, or wait longer before showing her to people. You can't let people see that you're connected to a crime.

[...WRATH]

While I'm sure "Sleepy" appreciates her new and happier home, I suggest not broadcasting these adventures to everyone here. Someone could report you to the police.

[Good job for stealing a Pokémon and not being caught though!]

Oh...Wrath....

[Lust can't fault him for his actions. She has a very soft spot for the creatures of this world herself. But now it's on the broadcasting network for all to see.]

If you're going to break laws, at least be discrete about it. I'd stay out of sight for a few days, if I were you.

Look, that doesn't work here. You have to keep them from finding you in the first place if you want to keep her.

You took her away from someone else - deservedly so, yes, but that's still breaking the law.

They can if they have giant Pokemon that are faster than you. Just give it a few days, would you? It's for your own good.
