♕ FIRST COMMAND | VIDEO / ACTION [MAHOGANY TOWN / ROUTE 42]

[sadisticwarfare]

[Frank Archer was not expecting to wake up in a strange room this morning. He wasn't expecting it to be cold outside, and he certainly wasn't expecting to find a strange bat inside the red-and-white ball sitting on top of the nightstand beside the bed he woke up in. It's been nearly a day since that happened, and he's been spending his time getting

[What's this? Ed knows that uniform all too well, though he certainly doesn't know who the guy is wearing it.]

Your gun is gone. There aren't any weapons here, so use your new pet bat to help you.

I don't know if you're a State Alchemist or not, but alchemy doesn't work here either, just as a heads up.

[And now he's just going to watch your progress there with that Spearow you found. they're nasty little buggers.]

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

[By the time Archer gets back to gathering up the PokéGear, a familiar face is on the screen. Edward Elric? What is he doing here?]

Don't mock me, FullMetal. [The response is tight, anger scarcely controlled.] You know I'm not an alchemist. [But he dismisses it quickly, moving on to more pressing matters.] Where are we and how did we get here?

[VIDEO]

[fullmetalbro]

I've never met you before, so how am I supposed to know if you're a State alchemist or not! Who are you anyway?

We're in a place called Johto and I have no idea how we got here or how we're supposed to get back to Amestris. Happy?

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

...You've never...?

[Wait, hold on. That's not possible. He just saw you! You just warned him not to go into that city because it was a trap! It was, but that's not the point!]

How can you not know who I am? We spoke before the array was activated in Liore. If you're attempting to be funny, Major, I can assure you it's not working.

[nasa_dreams]

...That's what you got the Pokémon for. I don't think they sell guns anywhere anyway.

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

[Is this device talking to him? How odd - is it some sort of phone or something?]

They don't? Why wouldn't they? [What kind of screwed-up world is this anyway?] That's unfortunate.

Re: [VIDEO]

[nasa_dreams]

Probably has to do with all the kids running around unchecked.

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

...Kids. [Oh. Oh boy. Just what has he gotten himself into?] So I take it there are children with these chimeras as well? [The "chimera" in question screeches from somewhere off-screen and Archer turns to glare at it.] Would it kill you to be quiet?

[usedrecover]

Are you referring to Shao Tucker?

[ her voice sounds quite dry and condescending when it comes to the man's name. it's obvious she isn't really a fan. he was annoying, and, setting up the circumstances to his entire family's demise by cutting off his funding was pretty much a great ride for her too. ]

[VIDEO] NEVER FEAR, YOU CAN BE AS LATE AS YOU WANT!

[sadisticwarfare]

[Ah, is this thing talking to him-- Oh, hello there.]

Yes, the Sewing-Life Alchemist. I take it you know him? [Hopefully before he turned into... that chimera-thing.]

Okay :D

[usedrecover]

Unfortunately. [ Man she didn't like him but when did she like any human. ] And I believe the correct word is knew.

[ Scar killed him so whatevs. ]

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

No, he's certainly still alive. I've been working with him. [Though admittedly not everyone knows he's alive...]

[video] /SUPERLATE BEING A CREEPY STALKER SORRY

[hackintheaster]

Anything that could be used as a weapon mysteriously disappears when you get here. Everything of mine is gone. [Huffs.]

As for the pokémon in the grass, the bat following you around? Does wonders. Mine here [Motions to his own Zubat hanging above his shoulders] levels up surprisingly quickly, so yours shouldn't take too long.

[VIDEO] YOU ARE NOT A CREEPY STALKER YOU ARE *AWESOME*

[sadisticwarfare]

[Archer returns after a moment, absently tending to a cut on his cheek. The strange device is talking-- Oh! It appears to be some sort of phone. How strange!]

Is that what happened? [Guns don't just disappear. Someone must have taken it.]

"Levels up"? What do you mean by that? It scarcely defeated that bird-chimera. [The Zubat does look tired and stops to rest on Archer's shoulder. He shoos it off absently.]

[video] AW, THANK YOU <3

[hackintheaster]

Basically. I have yet to find who, or what, could have taken them and how they managed to do it without my knowledge... But yeah. They're gone.

[Shrugs.] Leveling up, training, you make it stronger it by teaching it how to fight and it will beat other pokémon you'll encounter, especially walking around the tall grass like that. You'll run into a lot more that just that...bird. [Chimera? Who is this dude?]

[VIDEO] YOU ARE QUITE WELCOME! <3

[sadisticwarfare]

That's unfortunate. Surely there's some place that sells some sort of replacement? [Of course he's talking about a standard military-issued gun here and not state-of-the-art Bat-Gear.]

...That sounds... interesting... [Not at all. Ugh. So basically he's going to have to teach this thing how to fight? Archer eyes the bat warily for a moment.] ...You're certain this thing will be useful?

[video] derp here I go

[blacklodged]

[This video comes a while later, which has Coop assuming that the guy on the other end is okay, which is why he doesn't adress the issues as immediate.]

You might want to listen to the locals.

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

[Yeah, thanks for that. It's something he'd rather not have pointed out. Anyway, he returns after a moment, tending to a scratch on his cheek.]

And what good will that do me? They tend to repeat the same things over and over again whenever I speak with them.

[VIDEO]

[blacklodged]

Yes. But what they do say is typically relevant. As I'm sure you noticed.

[Don't go into the grass, indeed.]

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

...I suppose so. [Guess he'll need to go to that Pokémon Center they were talking about to heal his chimera-thing too...]

Care to tell me where we are? You seem familiar with this place.
