01 ☣ video/action for NBT

[guitarnero]

[ The audio turns on with the hiss of static, it lasts about half a second before- ]

Stuck? Stuck?! Bullshit!

[ Whoever's speaking, they're clearly angry. There's the sound of paper getting pushed aside and metal hitting the floor, followed swiftly thereafter by glass breaking and plastic getting crushed. The horrified gasps of a few scientists

Oh, GODDAMMIT.

[Harry managed to catch the opening show on the Pokegear. He wouldn't have picked this little town as the location of a lab even THAT size, but an open window let the sounds carry juuuust far enough to tell him otherwise.]

[And of course the only rational thing to do when hearing a crazed, possibly-armed individual going on a rampage was to run towards the disturbance.]

[Only real question is whether the guy being shaken by the collar is one of the kidnapping victims or one of the ubiquitous 'extras' that seemed to have migrated here from Stepford, Maine.]

Hey!

[Harry comes through the doors of the lab, dramatic effect ruined slightly by his own panting and Lara's excited bouncing behind him.]

Hell's bells man, what is this supposed to accomplish, exactly? You think maybe he's got a magic wardrobe to Narnia he's keeping hidden?

[Yeah, try to talk down the enraged brawler. That always works.]

[Action]

[guitarnero]

[ Nero lets go of Elm, who goes staggering back into the crowd of petrified aides. He turns, squaring his shoulders, teeth and fists clenched. The Narnia reference goes flying high over Nero's head, but the tone does nothing to calm him. ]

Someone brought me here, now someone's gonna get me out. If it's not him-- [ meaning Elm ] --then I'll find the one responsible.

[ And it won't be pretty! ]

Yes, I'm sure the person with the power to anonymously and instantly pluck people from across the multiverse and plop them down in Little Japan, Toontown is gonna just CRUMPLE from a single punch.

[Mouthing off probably isn't the best idea right now, but Harry doesn't want to be here any more than Nero. Besides, Nero was just about to beat a (probably) innocent bystander.]

[Plus, Harry can be kind of an idiot sometimes.]

Seriously, this isn't a problem you can punch just punch out of the way, Rocky.

[Lara, meanwhile, sidles over to the distressed Bagon.]

Smoo chu-moo.
[Translation: "Don't worry, my human can take a punch REALLY WELL."]

[Action]

[guitarnero]

I crushed a god's face in, once. I can do it again.

[ HE IS DEAD SERIOUS, TOO. Ahahaha, what are Capcom protags. He cracks the knuckles on his uninjured hand. ]

You gonna get in my way?

[ Meanwhile, no-name the Bagon gives Lara a relieved croon. Translation: "Thank goodness, because mine can give one really well! With that injured hand, though..." ]

[someone needs to calm their tits.]

You're never going to get answers like that!!

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ that's putting it mildly. by the time he gets to answering, he seems to have chilled out a bit........for a relative measure of 'chilled out'. ]

You got a better idea? 'Cause I'm all ears.

[video]

[dianxue]

[good B( because broseph, that was wrong.]

Simply asking the things you want to know without hurting people, is a start. We're stuck in this world just like you are.

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ B( yourself. ]

No! There has to be a way out. I've come too far--I'm not going to let them--[ a snappish, frustrated sound. ] --just...forget it.

[ tldr; KYYYRRRIIIIEEEEE ]

[action]

[splitcomposing]

[He didn't catch the opening video. He was just walking back to town after a long walk with Piyo-chan the Torchic so they can rest. So yeah, he had no idea what's going on inside the lab. He was just passing by when he heard the noise and decided to check in on things.]

Hey, is something going on in there? Professor?

[He steps into the lab and-- oh crap]

[action] I am just pretending these are all ~*~magically~*~ going on at the same time lol

[guitarnero]

[ A growl as his attention flickers to Natsuki. Not letting go of Elm just yet. He's utterly ignoring Piyo-chan, but his Bagon skitters out from behind a desk to go sit next to her. ]

You could say that. I'm looking for answers; you got any?

we're in pokemonland and anything can happen \o/

[splitcomposing]

I don't think so. Will you put the professor down?

[Meanwhile Piyo-chan's just watching, probably with Bagon.]

[guitarnero]

[ Nero opens his bleeding fist, letting Elm slip between his fingers. He turns on Natsuki. ]

Can I help you with anything?

action aaah apologies this is late

[nichirinnoshita]

You are an idiot.

[Mouri slowly walks into the lab, his footsteps echoing on the floor.]

Do you really think mindless destruction will help your return?

there is no such thing as lateness ssshhhh<3 plus it's only afternoon for me

[guitarnero]

[ Nero pauses, letting Elm slip from his grasp. He turns to Mouri, stance widening a bit in preparation for a challenge. ]

Let's guess how many shits I give about your opinion! If you guessed 'zero', you'd be right. [ Sobering up: ] Better this than doing nothing.

[ He tilts his head and squares his shoulders. Come at him, bro. ]

<3

[nichirinnoshita]

[He raises an eyebrow. What is this man doing? Is he another one of those foolish youths? Yes he probably is. He's not going to 'come at you bro' because he doesn't understand what the fuck that means.]

Destroying the one thing that can help you get home? I am one for getting rid of things that have no use but to destroy what you do need...

[Mouri chuckles to himself.]

[guitarnero]

[ If there was a way home to be found here, he would have found it by now; he only started breaking things when it became apparent that all answers pointed to 'no escape'. It's just unfortunate his anger and frustration took over what started out as nothing more than some extremely testy questioning. He wrinkles his nose, stalking right up to Mouri, scowling as he goes. ]

Yeah, right. You're still here, gramps, but nice try.

[video]

[swordofimpulse]

First of all...

CALM THE FUCK DOWN!!!

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ --good lord, that was loud. Even by Nero's standards. And for the record he has calmed down considerably after the fifty millionth time of being told he isn't going anywhere, and so at this point he's just kind of eyeroll-y. ]

You calm the fuck down. [ He nurses his bandaged hand gingerly. ] If you're worried about the old man, don't be.

[video]

[swordofimpulse]

[Well that's good to hear. And no, that yelling is his standard way of yelling at everything.]

To answer your question: There's no proper way to leave as of now.

Except for when the place 'glitches' and sent you back on accident.

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ A shaky breath. Nero looks away from the camera. ]

What about the people back home?
