23rd Transformation [BACKDATE to September 17th | video/action for travel party]
[It's sunset when the video feed comes on, so there's enough light left to see Envy holding this up to the camera with a grin.]
Almost forgot, but that's two. I grabbed it before we left. It was too easy, Chimera crushed those ghosts.
[Behind Envy stretch the flat farmlands of the road to Olivine. The group's made camp for the night near a field of tall, fenced in grass that looks like some sort of pasture. Of course, any tall grass in Johto is also the perfect place for there to be a ton of wild Pokemon. And since his back is to the grass, he doesn't see the Murkrow sneaking up behind him, its red eyes focused on his open bag. And the shiny gold chain that's peeking out and glinting in the last of the sunlight.]
Anyway, we should be almost there. You've got to have beaten us by now Tulio--
KROW!
[The Murkrow had finally gotten close enough to dive at the bag and come away carrying the gold chain with it, startling Envy enough that he doesn't quite manage to catch it before it's already flapping away into the field. He saw what was taken. And he while there is an oddly genuine upset note to his expression, mostly he looks furious.]
You can't have that! Give it back!
[And off he goes, just taking off running after the thieving Pokemon. Wow, that necklace must be important to him judging by how fast he's going. Good thing he's wearing real shoes and pants for traveling, and won't be sprinting through a field in a miniskirt. As he enters the grass, he seems to realize that he's still carrying the 'Gear, and just tosses it back over his shoulder, where it cuts out as it hits the ground.]
((ooc: Badge is mod-approved! Video responses will be delayed until he gets back to the camp after catching the Murkrow!))

It's a good thing you got it back, then! Who gave it to you, if you don't mind me asking?
{ ;3; awww, you don't need to be embarrassed!}
{Video}
[The hint of melancholy in his tone is a good indicator that before she left they were pretty good friends.]
{Video}
{Just... looking at him calmly through the 'Gear.} Life here isn't fair sometimes, is it?
{Video}
[Envy shrugs, still looking unhappy. It does help that he's not the only one he knows that this is happening to, a little. And people dying and coming back different is already a concept he's all too familiar with. He gives her a humorless half-grin.]
Life's never fair, not here and not back home either. World isn't an alchemy equation, after all.

Hah, I suppose you're right. The afterlife is certainly nothing like what I was taught as a human, anyway.
