24th Transformation [video/text]
[When the video feed first comes on, the only thing visible is the face of a Lucario and the ceiling fan right behind her head. Not for long, though, as the Pokemon makes a satisfied sound at having gotten the Gear on and turns it around towards the window. Envy's sitting in a chair next to it--a loose definition of 'sitting', with one knee up and the other leg loosely crossed behind it-- and leaning his elbow on the sill. One cheek is resting against his fist, giving viewers a good view of the other side of his face, which is sporting a fair sized bruise. There are other bruises visible on his arms, souveniers from the fighting tournament. It looks like he's dragged a blanket off of one of the room's beds and draped it over his back and hanging off one shoulder. Outside is nothing but gray drizzle and buildings, but anyone familiar with Olivine might notice that he's back there and no longer in Goldenrod. Envy doesn't seem to notice he's being filmed, because his focus is shifting between the tower of coins he's building on the sill and the nasty weather outside. He's looking bored and restless as hell, wearing a petulant frown more suited to a little kid than a centuries old homunculus.]
[He places the last available coin on top of the wobbly tower, looks it over for a few moments, and then flicks it over, the coins rolling and bouncing onto the floor with a clatter. He looks mildly pleased at the small act of destruction, continuing to knock over what remains of the base until there aren't two coins left on top of each other. But it's a short lived distraction, and then he's left with frowning out the window with the universal expression of 'screw this weather' on his face. But there's something a little thoughtful about it, too.]
A year isn't that long, not even one in this place. It's not that big a surprise. Keep me here ten, Johto, then maybe I'll be impressed.
Heh. [He rubs his temples, looking some combination of frustrated and amused.] Long enough to make everything really damn complicated, though.
[What he says next is mumbled, quietly enough that it would be difficult to catch all of what he's saying.] I really hate being human.
[His restlessness finally getting the better of him (he can only look out a window for so long before he completely loses interest), he gets to his feet and starts to turn, and that's when the Lucario decides that maybe she ought to turn it off before she gets caught messing around with the 'Gear again, and the feed ends.]

Hey, where are you?

Hey, where are you?
[VIDEO]
I'll admit that part's impressive, but there have been people here longer than me. I don't think I'll count its hold on me especially noteworthy until it's been longer than just that.
I've been doing alright, the tournament was a good distraction. There's not much chance to fight for ourselves here without calling down that joke of a police force. What about you? [AKA, do you still believe the total lies he tossed at you?]
[VIDEO]
No, I suppose there isn't. [Not that he'd be interested in picking fights anyway, he's a pencil-pusher for a reason!] I've been doing quite well; again, thank you for the information. [Yep, still totally in denial!]
[VIDEO]
You still in Mahogany?
[He likes keeping track of where all you people are.]
[VIDEO]
Yes, I am. From what I understand, if we earn all the badges here we can return home. I'm looking into the one that's in this city at the moment. [It seems that Ice-types are good against Flying-types, which means he's going to have to find something that can stand against that...]
[VIDEO]
It's certainly a tidy way to earn your return. Collect all the right keys, and the door opens. I wonder if it would count as equivalent exchange.
[VIDEO]
Not everything relates to alchemy. Are you an alchemist, then? [Ugh, alchemists are such a pain.]
[VIDEO]
Oh, no, I never was able to get the hang of it. But I have worked closely with a few, and the way they see the world seems to have rubbed off on me.
Do you not like alchemists much?
