<ghostprince> [2/2; whoops, rage button]
I thought we went over this last time! Do you have the memory of a Goldeen or do you just want to pick a fight?!
Name a time and place and whatever it is I have to do it to you! I'll make you AND your friend bow before my strength and beg for forgiveness!
[Yes, brilliant argument there, that'll teach him, kid.
(He got him fair and square from the police. He was released into his custody. How.)]
<SHARKATTACK>
Fine you're an adult. A small adult who's up against a madman. I'm all for independence and everything, but I'm drawing the line at being responsible for a killer.
And I have no idea what friend you're referring to.
[ Yep, he's totally ignoring that challenge. ]
<ghostprince>
You know who I mean, your artist friend with the girl name to match yours.
[At least Haruka could conceivably be a guy's name, maybe, if it's supposed to be "distant," but Rin? It sounds like "bell," man. He knows a Bell, she was held back four years or so, more clueless than girls his age, and shrieks and squeals over muscular guys and Pokemon, that's not exactly the manliest association.]
<SHARKATTACK>
It matters if the other guy isn't fighting with POKEMON! And if you don't even have your pokemon yet!
[ His tone gets a bit more growly here. ]
Haru has nothing to do with this. You leave him out of it. And his name's way girlier.
<ghostprince> [audio; I'm sorry he's so full of himself and blind to how bad the situation is ^^;;;]
It's true, I anticipated I'd have my partner back a... little earlier than this, but.
He's already in my custody and it shouldn't be long now, so, I don't see what the point is in getting angry about it.
For now, I'm keeping him in my sight at all times. He won't harm me and I won't let him harm any innocents.
— but, you are wrong about the size of the opponent in confrontation with a Pokemon. I'm not going to be using physical attacks. In fact, I'm not planning on using any attacks at all.
That's not what I need my partner for, but something more equalizing than that. It's something no opponent can resist. Rest assured, we'll all be perfectly safe.
<SHARKATTACK>
The point is you shouldn't be handling him alone. Nobody should.
How are you so sure he won't harm you if it gives him a chance to escape?
What are you going to do? Hypnotize him?
<ghostprince> [laaate...]
We could, but I was thinking draining spiritual energy until he's dead on his feet— figuratively speaking too— until he behaves and then relinquishing it. His spirit, I mean.
<SHARKATTACK>
You're not worried he'll retaliate against you while you're trying to do that? He's a trained warrior. How fast can you do that?
<ghostprince>
The rate can be controlled, if it's done slowly, he won't notice until he's exhausted, but if it's done quickly, it'll feel like crushing. Like your life force is being rapidly drained out of you, mostly because, well, that's exactly what's happening.
<SHARKATTACK>
He's a warrior. They're usually observant. And he's sneaky.
[ Actually, the fact that it's a kid talking about using this method is starting to disturb him. ]
... how often have you done this to someone else?
no subject
But it has to be frequent, this is how it feeds. [It's not the only one who feeds this way either, two of his partners feed on spiritual power.] But this one preyed on me when we first met, so a compromise was made— the dead work just as well, we've found.
I know what it feels like. So don't worry.
[None of this is really making it any better, is it? That child's voicd is so call and matter-of-fact.]
<SHARKATTACK>
Oi, it's not about being scared. It's about how much doing that sort of thing can mess you up. In the head.
And what the hell is any of that supposed to mean? Your pokemon is literally like one of us?
[1/2] <ghostprince>
It's funny. No one's ever cared that much about me before this place.
You know? Mitsuhide expresses that same concern a lot. That's a funny thing you two have in common.
[2/2] <ghostprince>
I trained two Ghost Types. They're born in the spirit world; it's a very cruel place, all the evil and violent spirits are locked up there.
So, even when they move over to our world, they don't have the same way of thinking, morals, or even feeding habits.
—so, yes, like us. I think if you took in others from my world, particularly those afraid of Ghost Types, they'd take this situation harder than I have.
<SHARKATTACK>
Don't compare me to that sicko! Of course I care when a decent person risks corrupting themselves. Nobody should.
[ And honestly, Rin doesn't pay that much attention to username unless they're super cool. ]
Why work with something so unstable? You have thousands of pokemon to choose from.
<ghostprince>
—they're my favourite type.
They have very unique abilities, casting illusions, drawing out an opponent's fears and paralyzing them with it... cursing and sealing attacks... the ability to render an opponent completely helpless— I like it.
I think they're more honest, too. I like that they don't deny their natures. They don't have to pretend to be good and aren't interested in it. The world is cruel sometimes and so are they— and it isn't wrong, just the way they naturally are.
[
Sorry for the pretentious preteen, Rin, but you had to ask.]... that's strange, how do you know there are so many? [... he didn't mention that, did he? Must have been one of the other trainers.]
<SHARKATTACK>
I get worked up the same amount as anyone else.
[ He grimaces at Shootie's description. ]
That's kind of twisted. All of those things sound messed up.
I'd rather have a partner more interested in helping people than torturing them.
Where I come from, everyone knows about pokemon.
