003 ∅ action ( goldenrod )

[mayieatthat]

[ Envy is babysitting Gluttony today, and there are shenanigans going around. Right now, somewhere in the city of Goldenrod, Envy and Gluttony are hiding in dark alleys and watching people pass by.

Just as you happen to be passing by, Gluttony will suddenly be rushing out at you! He's been instructed to not eat anyone, but it's still got to be a pretty terrifying thing to see, having a large man -- is that even a man? Could be a Pokemon, in all honesty... -- charging at you, mouth wide open, drool everywhere, and sporting a rather crazed look that only people who haven't been fed in a while have.

... What do? ]



[[ ooc note: either Envy or Gluttony could be replying to your thread~ but it'll open with just Gluttony attacking, and nobody will know Envy is even involved unless he decides to show himself~ ]]

[OH GOD WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT]

[Isaac's reflexes are still insanely good from years of training, but he would have been faster if he had been training. It's not something he has time to dwell on right now. Isaac's default response is to activate the array on the palm of his left hand and search for a source of water--]

[Oh. Right. Alchemy doesn't work here. Shit.]

[He next goes for a Pokéball, releasing Weavile. The Pokémon takes a stand between Gluttony and Isaac, though the man doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding behind the Pokémon.]

What the hell--? What do you want?

[mayieatthat]

[ He doesn't hear a word Isaac is saying. Mostly because, once he gets into one of his frenzies, unless one of his siblings is speaking, Gluttony really doesn't care.

As for that Weavile, he... really doesn't care about that either. It doesn't even really register that this thing could potentially kill him.

Though, it isn't Pokemon he's interested in. Envy had said to terrorize humans. So he'll just try his best to run around the Weavile and... head toward Isaac. ]

[glaciates]

[Figures. Isaac doesn't give the Weavile a command, but he reacts anyway, lashing out at Gluttony with a Fury Swipes attack. Isaac doesn't call off the Pokemon, but he doesn't move to attack Gluttony either. Isaac has promised not to attack anyone here - not without a decent reason, that is.]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy is having way too much fun with this, and snickers as he looks out of the alley for another poor unsuspecting pedestrian.]

This is a lot more fun than sitting around doing nothing, huh Gluttony?

[He glances over to his current partner in crime, a wide, smirkish grin on his face. It feels good to cause a little chaos every once in a while, especially with other homunculi.]

[mayieatthat]

Yes, yes~

[ And he's getting food out of this, so. Gluttony is okay with this arrangement. ]

[exeggutorhead]

[And look, there's a target walking close to their hiding place now! It's a teenage boy, hands in his pockets and not paying nearly enough attention to his surroundings. But there's two homunculi here to change that.]

[Envy points.] See him?

[gochuugoku]

[And... Upon instinct, China responds with a strong round house kick to the face.]

[mayieatthat]

[ The kick sends him reeling backwards. Normally, Gluttony really wouldn't have cared. A kick to the face, his head getting sliced open... none of that had ever stopped him before.

But. This time, he suddenly stops, a few feet away, a bit stunned. ]

... Ow...

[ There's a strange stinging feeling that he can't quite place. All he can really do is stare stupidly ahead of him, and rub the part of his face that had been kicked.

... This is new. ]

[gochuugoku]

[China's surprised upon seeing the familiar face.]

Ah? You?

[hintcoinplz]

[Luke immediately takes a few steps back, not sure if he should call out one of his Pokemon or not.]

Stay back!

[mayieatthat]

[ Nope, sorry. He can't hear anything over the rush of adrenaline right now. Gluttony is rushing full force forward. ]

[hintcoinplz]

[Ohh dear, Luke realizes he probably doesn't have enough time to call for any of his Pokemon.]

I'm warning you, stop or else I'll-

[Oh hell with it. He'll run for the nearest thing he can climb up.]

[su6tlecoruscate]

[Nice weather, bit of ice cream, wandering casually around the city...

...and then something just decides to lunge at you for no apparent reason. Nice.

It's fortunate that Rima's reflexes are good enough to avoid being charged into even after this humanization thing. The ice cream on the other hand ends up splattered on the ground.

She sighs in exasperation, looking down at the wasted treat before turning her head towards Gluttony, eyes narrowing slightly]

Thanks for that.

[mayieatthat]

[ He misses, and manages to lunge forward into a weird roll.

It takes a few minutes to get himself oriented again, and then he's staring blankly at the girl.

... He's not supposed to eat her. He was supposed to terrify her, but she doesn't look very terrified... and he's confused by this.

And then she... thanks him? ]

You're welcome!

[ Not sure what he's being thanked for, here. But happy to have helped. ]

Aww XD

[su6tlecoruscate]

[...Wrong response Gluttony...

But at least this "clueless child" appearance is better than "crazed animal" look he had a second ago.

She's still being cautious and keeping her distance, but Rima's now feeling less annoyed and more like "why do I bother?"]

Guess sarcasm's a little lost on you.

[action]

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[He's walked past one wide-eyed, trembling person already.]

[Not to say that that's necessarily a rare thing - though the natives in Johto do tend to be a touch mindless most of the time they're still people with functioning ranges of emotion and behaviours. But people normally didn't look so SCARED, especially seeing how Johto was normally a very peaceful place.]

[That's part of why Coop loves it so much. And he would have stopped and asked that person what was wrong, but he'd hurried past and Coop was headed somewhere else, so he let it go, albeit with a frown and some reluctance.]


[He hadn't expected much from that brief encounter ... but then he'd spotted another person looking distressed, making her way quickly from the area he's heading towards.]

[And whatever he'd expected after that, he most certainly hadn't expected to find himself jumped at by an impossibly large-mouthed person.]

[His reflexes tell him to shoot, but he doesn't have a gun and he's STILL not entirely used to that, so he goes for a punch that will, honestly, probably, be rendered rather ineffective just from the sheer MASS Gluttony possesses.]</sub>

[action]

[mayieatthat]

[ He barely feels the punch, and it comes a bit too late anyways, because Gluttony is already kind of on top of his target by the time the punch connects.

He tackles his target to the ground. And... then isn't really sure what to do from there. He has to force himself to not eat this one, either. Because he promised he wouldn't eat any of them.

But it's really tempting. And so he's just... kind of... sitting on top of this guy and drooling all over him. ]

[action]

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[It takes him a moment to fully realize what's slowly soaking his shirt, because he didn't hit the pavement gracefully and he notes with mild resignation that he must've hit his head again, if the slow dull pain at the back of his skull is any indication. But then when he opens his eyes and things snap into focus, he freezes momentarily.]

[Oh, god. That's repulsing.]

[Cooper lifts an arm to shield his face both as an instinctual action to protect himself from whatever assault that might be headed his way and partly because he's decidedly not a fan of drool.]

[He makes sure he has a good look on the other, though, and shoots him a cold glare even as he's estimating his chances of just getting away (very small) and what he can do to help those odds increase.]

[Talking is a good start, of course, and voice steely, he makes a very simple demand.]</sub>

Let go of me.

[foreveraclone]

[you know, if he had his powers he could have heard gluttony charging at him a mile away, but alas... he turns around before he's turned into super grounded meat boy though! he swiftly reaches back and punches the crazed man in the gut.]

[mayieatthat]

[ If Gluttony had his powers, a punch to the gut would mean nothing; he'd barely feel it. But unfortunately, he's a human here, and... he definitely felt that one.

He stumbles back, feeling a bit stunned, and rubbing his stomach.

What is this strange feeling? ... What does he do with it? ]

[foreveraclone]

[conner puts his fists up and quickly gets into a fighting stance.]

[action]

[trailweblaze]

_{[You know, Miguel was just minding his own business, enjoying the weather when Oh holy fucking christ run run ruuunnn as fast and far away as possible from this incredibly scary and huge thing.]}

[action]

[mayieatthat]

[ Bursting out of the alley and chasing after this random guy. He's not running too fast, because Envy said to scare... but...

Oh, what the heck. Turning up he speed just a tad. It's surprising how this giant ball of meat can run so fast. ]

[action] HOPE YOU LIKE BACKTAGS... ;;

[springoflife]

[And here, on a bench on the Goldenrod City's square, is sitting this girl, completely unfazed by the havoc the man's causing and busy drawing something in her sketchbook...]

[ action ] eeeew get out <3

[mayieatthat]

[ Would she be fazed at all if he started running toward her? ]
