VIII. Video/Action for Ecruteak City. + text.

Video/Action:

[The first seconds of Gorthan's Video feed show his profile through a doorway. He seems to be talking to someone who is obscured by the presence of a white wall. And judging by Gorthan's words, that someone is more than one person.]

I will be leaving soon, my dear ladies. My presence is needed in Goldenrod again. But worry not. All of you are healing up well and should be able to return home soon. I will personally keep in touch with that incompetent who was originally assigned to you as a doctor to ensure that my recommendations are being followed at all times. It was a true honor to assist you. I can already assure you that part of my salary will go to you, so you will be able to rebuild your theatre as soon as possible.

[After which Gorthan himself disappears from view. There are a few unintelligible words, women's voices along with Gorthan's own. About a minute later, Gorthan walks out of the room and closer to the camera.]

Noctowl. Do not worry, I have no intention to replace you yet. Now, kindly let go of my Pokégear, if you will.

[The video cuts, only to resume again in the open. Buildings and trees can be seen in the background while Gorthan speaks to the camera, his expression pretty much neutral.]

Will someone inform me of the events that took place in Goldenrod? I was so absorbed in my work here, I seem to have missed something.

Private text to "Caroline" ([personal profile] neurotoxined):

[Um, Gorthan's been texting her regularly, at least once a day. Small, inane things. Like "Good morning"s and "Goodnight"s. In what is some really mild flirting, whose mildness is due to the fact that a) Gorthan has been really busy, b) it's not that he doesn't know how to flirt (although that is partially the case), he's just been wondering if he should do it at all. Today's text is a bit different from the others.]

I am now on my way to base. Are you still there? I am looking forward to meeting you.

[The video opens to Archer sitting with his hands folded in his lap. Apparently he's finally taught one of his Pokémon how to hold the Gear still to film him.]

So you're finally returning? I did enjoy your play, Gorthan.

[There's nothing there to indicate that Archer is mocking - he sounds genuine. He is a patron of the arts after all--]

[--okay no, he honestly can't stand most forms of "art," and plays are no exception. Still, you seemed to enjoy yourself, and he's trying not to be any more obvious about this.]


I'm not entirely sure on all the details, unfortunately. Cobra Commander threatened to destroy the Game Corner if he didn't have his demands met - he wanted money, the HM for Fly, and the city - but someone took care of the bomb threat before he could destroy the place. I believe he sent out bombs in the mail and at least one person was hurt by it.

[Archer leans forward, resting his chin on his folded hands.]

That's unfortunately all I know. I'm not sure what he's trying to pull.

Of course I did.

[He "donated" all right...]

It seems everything he does ends in failure.

[What's that look for? Archer quirks an eyebrow for a moment before realizing what Gorthan's getting at.]

And you believe I would help him? Hardly. I have no interest in aiding his endeavors. Kimblee had nothing to do with it either - though I will admit, I was a bit suspicious when I heard about the bombs.

[That's all an elaborate lie, of course. Kimblee was indeed behind it, though Archer is actually innocent for once.]

Really, Gorthan? I think I would know better than you would whether I'm lying or not.

[Cue smirk.]

But I'll humor you. Why do you believe I'm lying?
determinator: (♕ Hear the drum pounding out of time)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-04-20 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Did he, now?

[Archer's smirk falters. He's normally quite good at lying his way through anything, but he's a bit out of practice here. By the time he recovers, he's well aware that there isn't anything he can do to save face, so he'll simply have to roll with it.]

You've been here for quite some time, Gorthan. Surely you've witnessed acts of charity before. You were assisting in one recently.

[...Cue tsun, then.]

Hmm. Have been wondering where you have been.

Enjoying some private time with your ladies~?

[ALL OF THE VULGARITY is implied. All of it.]
meatysoviet: (Like the crop? It likes you too~)

My body has never been better... But concern from you is sweet comrade~

[Is tone is far too airy and affectionate for that sentence to be taken comfortably or, at least, Ivan hopes so. If you're into tall heavy drinking Russian men Gorthan he might have a problem... But he's pretty damn sure that isn't the case.]

I admit I only caught parts of show- was more my monsters watching it than myself. Could not donate, so did not think it would be fair to take pleasure in others hard work without doing so.

Also, have been busy with things.
meatysoviet: (...)

[personal profile] meatysoviet 2012-04-21 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm? Epoch? What exactly do you imply with that?

[He raises an eyebrow at the sudden mood change, or as much/little as he sees occur. What just happened? Why did you cut off your own question?

Also, aawwww shucks- if he knew you thought Gorthan he'd be pleased. Ridiculously. Because his history is pretty damn interesting.]


No. No evolutions yet. Have been levelling more than looking into that, since evolved monsters do not learn moves, or some such nonsense.

[She'd noticed the texts, though she hadn't paid them much mind; if she wasn't too busy in the mornings, and she wasn't still asleep when the things came in - because human bodies were strange in their need for such things, they required far more than was surely necessary - she would reply with brief things like "Likewise." Nothing discouraging, but nothing horribly personal or encouraging, either.

She didn't really think anything of this text when it came in, then; probably another greeting really -

...oh. Well. That's new.]


I haven't gone anywhere.
neurotoxined: (Got my own thing; I am testing)

[personal profile] neurotoxined 2012-04-20 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
No, I've gone out since then.

[Wheatley's kind of. dragged her outside. :|]

The city isn't bad, really.
neurotoxined: (I don't need your world to validate me)

[personal profile] neurotoxined 2012-04-20 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't expect you to come back here only to meet me. Why would I think that? As much as others around here would like to think that science will just get itself done, that isn't how it works.

I'm busy. If you work here, I'd hope you would to be, too.

Why Gorthan, I don't remember telling a lie!

[[Because he didn't find it exciting. The bombs didn't denonate properly, there was no masterpiece! It's rather depressing.]]

You'll find me to be nothing but truthful~

I'm not here for a therapy session, doc.

You're en route back to Goldenrod, no? When do you think you'll return?
