003 ∅ action ( goldenrod )

[ 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~ ]]

[ 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. ]

_{[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.]}

Let go of me.

[ He stops at that. Because... the point of this whole thing is to scare people, but it doesn't work very well if the targets aren't scared.

He doesn't heed the command, because it isn't from one of his siblings. But he has stopped drooling now, and is now just kind of blankly staring at the person crushed under him.

What do? Why isn't this one scared? ]

_{[Because it's not the first time he's been knocked to the ground by someone and he's been trained to keep his cool. That training kicked in the moment he found someone else over him and it's there in the hard gaze he's pinning Gluttony with.]

[There is a certain sense of alarm, of course, because no one likes being trapped, especially not like this, with massive body-weight making it hard to breathe properly and agitated pulse echoing in their skull, but Cooper can deal.]

[He's dealt with worse.]

[So he bites it out again, bracing himself somewhat against the massive body on top of him, just to feel less ... well, flat. It's more or less ineffective.]}

Move.

[ He pauses or a moment, and then rolls off. And just kind of stands close by, examining the other person.

Well. Rushing at them obviously didn't seem to work. What else could he try?

... except Gluttony isn't that fast of a thinker, so give him some time to... think... this one through. ]

_{[Cooper gratefully rises, drawing deep slow breaths and taking several steps away from Gluttony when he stands as a precaution. That was unpleasant and though he doesn't feel too threatened, he's on edge.]

[As a result, his frown is low as he levels him with another cold look.]}

What are you trying to do?

[Envy, meanwhile, has been having a good laugh at this guy's expense. He might not have run screaming, but this is almost as good. Still, it doesn't look like he's going to run away on his own, and Envy doesn't want more people coming to see what's going on. And now he's starting to ask questions.]

[Envy runs out from his hiding place farther back in the alley, all ready to play the 'I'm rescuing you' card, and hey their current victim looks kind of familiar--]

[Oh. Hi there Agent Tetris. Agent Tetris who's a really good friend of France and knows who Envy is.]

[To his credit, Envy only falters a moment. THIS COULD STILL WORK MAYBE COOPER IS DISORIENTED AND WON'T RECOGNIZE HIM. He shouts at Gluttony] Finally caught up to you, what do you think you're doing attacking this guy?

[Come on Gluttony let's get the hell outta Dodge]

[ ... Oh. There's his cue. This is how it works. He terrorizes someone, Envy steps in, and he's supposed to run.

So, have Gluttony suddenly getting up and running in the opposite direction back into the alley he originally came from.

... That didn't seem random at all ]

_{[Coop looked to Envy almost the moment he made himself known, having heard his footfalls and kept an eye in the direction they were coming from.]

[And ... no, well, sorry Envy, you're out of luck. He recognises him right away - it's hard not to, and despite things hurting there's very little wrong with his senses. So he opens his mouth to adress him directly - sternly, in a way, like the lawman he actually is - but then ... the other guy takes off.]

[His first instinct is to follow, because that's how it normally goes when they run: he chases them, orders them to stop or he'll shoot, catches them by whatever means necessary and makes an arrest.]

[But that's not how it normally works in Johto, so while he tenses up to follow, he then decides to just let this guy go, and instead turns to Envy, still visibly peeved, which clearly reflects.]}

Envy. Who is your friend?

[Well this is just fantastic, isn't it?]

[Envy tries playing dumb first.] Friend? Hardly.

[He does a good job of looking displeased that Cooper would even think he was Gluttony's friend. After all, why would Envy be involved in a joke like this, he's a good and upstanding guy! Definitely! ...Although this whole situation is pretty suspicious already.]

_{[Definitely, and Coop's not falling for it.]}

My question still stands.

_{[Cough it up Envy, who's the guy terrorising all the other people. >:c]}
