--and that's why I think whoever designed this is...ah, would ya look at that! Rantin' to it works! [The voice on this connection is pretty young sounding, if a little more like a kid than a teenager.]
Well, glad to see this thing finally wants to work! Whoever designed this is a complete maroon, but I already ranted about that.
Question for all'a ya! Don't suppose these creatures comes with a translator, do they? Havin' a hard time attempting to understand mine, and I was wonderin' if anyone had a solution for that this side of Albuquerque.
...And if there's a place to get some cigars and snacks--it'd definitely be a perk right now!
[Action: Goldenrod (Rocket HQ)]
[Once that feeds over with, Peacock turns the PokeConnect off and goes back to what she was doing before; exploring with a giant metal bird! This place was certainly interesting; looked like it had more to it than all of the labs put together, and that in itself could be an achievement! Avery just followed along to make sure she wasn't going to do anything too stupid...
So, Peacock will be exploring the entire HQ of her own accord, exploring every place she's allowed in! ...And probably a few that she isn't allowed in with Avery squawking behind her, let's be honest. She'd rather not be caught per se, but the more the merrier right?]

on 2012-05-23 01:08 am (UTC)[Yeah, it's...not something she wants to actually go into, no sir. Sorry about that.]
Heard of Team Rocket? Heh...if ya can keep a secret, I'm a part of it. Been a part since I came here! [The glee is probably pretty obvious in her voice.]

on 2012-05-23 02:52 am (UTC)I don't know what that means, but you can't talk to animals?
[action]
on 2012-05-23 08:29 am (UTC)That was magnificent, Coulomb. The energy reading is a new record!
[[....said Electrode, however, is smoking, twitching and looks dead-behind-the-eyes. Using Explosion constantly will do that to a pokemon, but....details, details-
....oh, hello there]]
I do hope you're not going to ask me to keep it down. There is science being done.
[Video]
on 2012-05-23 06:02 pm (UTC)You lived in a lab? That sounds really cool!
[Audio] Brain, stop attempting to Auto Pilot.
on 2012-05-23 08:02 pm (UTC)But ya can just talk to 'em in yer head? ...At least it sounds like a useful ability. [Totally not a little envious, nope.]
[Audio]
on 2012-05-23 08:05 pm (UTC)[Oh, that get's Peacock excited! ...If a little nostolgic at the same time.] Aw, you bet! It had a whole bunch of Tvs to watch every channel, endless snacks, and practically no rules! [And her not!dad, but she won't mention him. No use getting personal just yet.]
[Audio]
on 2012-05-23 08:09 pm (UTC)[...GOLDENROD. Right where she is! Oh god, yes--] Heh, I'll definitely keep it in mind! When I get to this 'Golden Rod' place, that is; I'll have to make it my first stop.
[action]
on 2012-05-23 08:42 pm (UTC)Peacock at least hears the Explosion, before going off in the direction of where it came from. When she gets there, she makes no attempt at being hidden; what Kato did just sounded like he lit off a bomb and didn't afraid of anything.
Still! Peacock grins when she's noticed; she didn't wanna distract from anymore 'science', if that's what Team Rocket's refering to it now, was getting done.]
Not at all! If anythin', I was wonderin' if that was the highest volume ya had. [You don't mind her just staring at that Electrode, do you? Well, it definitely looked big enough to cause some mayhem...]
[Video]
on 2012-05-23 09:50 pm (UTC)Yeah, as long as they're close and I try. I learned how to understand their calls too, but all the animals - Pokémon - here have different calls so I have to learn them all over again.
I guess it's useful? I never thought of it any differently than talking to Grandpa, except that they can't always understand complicated things I try to tell them. They tell me when humans come into the forest, or if an animal is eating so much it's being a problem, or just how their lives are. The trees tell interesting stories, too, if I'm patient and stay for a while. I haven't been able to talk to any of the trees here for some reason though.
[Be envious until the point where you realize that since he can talk to plants and animals, that means he's eating his friends for every meal.]
[Private Audio]
on 2012-05-23 10:39 pm (UTC)[He doesn't, but it's obviously something Peacock doesn't want to talk about. That's fine!]
So you arrived here as a member? Excellent! Well you're certainly not the only one! The lab is where I've been working for the most part; it's quite a nice place if you're interested in checking it out. Oh, watch out for the incredibly tall woman - the one who looks like she wants to separate your head from your body? - she's horrid. She doesn't run the labs but... well, what with the way she acts, you'd be surprised.

on 2012-05-23 10:46 pm (UTC)Yeah right! Consider it brought!
[...Well, Ripto at least has figured out that this world runs on these creatures battling each other. Say hello to his higher-leveled-but-still-useless Pokémon, Dragon! It's a Bagon, and he doesn't look too pleased.]
Alright, Dragon! Bite!
[...Why yes we're having this battle in the hallway, FUCK THE POLICE.]
no subject
on 2012-05-23 11:52 pm (UTC)Avery steps in front of Peacock while that Bagon bites down; there's definitely a wince from the bite, but he was built for defense! He can (sort of) take this!]
Oh, we ain't takin' that lyin' down! Avery, use that star attack you do!
[...There's a nonchalant 'Skarm?' in questioning, before Peacock let's an aggravated sigh though. You only have one attack that's a star thingy--!]
Swift! [MUCH BETTER. Enjoy those, Dragon! Even if Skarmory's Special attack isn't something to write home about...]
[Video]
on 2012-05-23 11:59 pm (UTC)Sounds like it was pretty nice.
no subject
on 2012-05-24 12:04 am (UTC)Don't just stand there, attack! Rage! Come on just kill it already!
[Look at all this patience...]
[Audio]
on 2012-05-24 12:08 am (UTC)Just asking.
no subject
on 2012-05-24 12:09 am (UTC)Swift again, Avery! Kick that dragon's can!
[...She'd say patience is a virtue, but like hell does she have any!]
no subject
on 2012-05-24 12:12 am (UTC)Ugh! Leer! Will you actually do something?
[Leer isn't... an attack move, Ripto... But Dragon follows orders anyway with a dramatic roll of his eyes.]
no subject
on 2012-05-24 12:25 am (UTC)And once more, with feelin'! Swift!
[--But then comes more STARS. Peacock will learn soon enough that Skarmory's Special Attack sucks. ...When she's not a fan of PRETTY STARSSSSS.]
[Audio]
on 2012-05-24 12:26 am (UTC)If they do, they haven't brought 'em to the general public yet.
[Audio]
on 2012-05-24 12:30 am (UTC)Plants too? ...Were ya raised in a forest or somethin'? [This would explain so much. Because as it stands, she's not sure if this is believable or some sort of elaborate prank.]
no subject
on 2012-05-24 12:35 am (UTC)You're hopeless! Use Bite! Make it count this time!
[Well, he'll follow orders! C'mon man, he's going to break his teeth on this metal bird...!]
no subject
on 2012-05-24 12:40 am (UTC)Let's give 'em a Peck this time! Don't take that without a fight!
[Well, you get your wish Dragon; here, have a peck on the head! Our treat~]
no subject
on 2012-05-24 12:47 am (UTC)Oh come on! Don't you dare go down so easily!
[Ugh, he's trying, master...!]
Bite, again! Come on! This is ridiculous!
[You'd think having awesome monsters that fight for you would be more entertaining. This is just ridiculous. Anyway, Dragon will once again launch himself at Avery. This fight is going nowhere slowly.]
[Video]
on 2012-05-24 12:49 am (UTC)I lived in the forest in the mountains with Grandpa until he died two seasonal cycles ago. Now its just me and the animals. [He doesn't sound as broken up about his grandpa's death as you might expect. He misses him, obviously, but he's not showing much of it to her.]
