our home is the wind, we're gods of the morning

[There's a rumbling sound behind this feed, and Malik's voice is shaky too - he's currently riding shotgun in a garbage truck, with his Muk and a couple of Grimers in the back doing the honors.

But regardless of the broadcast quality, he sounds pretty insistent.]

Johto garbage detail. Report in.

I want all the details as they occur. Any complications, contact me immediately.

We've got a schedule to keep, lest things get dirty.

[Petty. But effective.]

[[ooc: Sorry if I'm jumping the gun getting the plot started this morning - unexpected traveling came up this week, and I'm heading home today prettttty much as soon as I hit "post", but wanted to get Johto's garbage leader out there beforehand. Feel free to forward-date to after any official plot kickoff, if there's one. ^____^;;;]]

[Yeah, folks, no video for you. :/ Malik's only grudgingly handling this interruption to his ~3,000 year revenge~, but he'll never be so sloppy as to air his face on a public network.

Not that you can tell he's upset from the chipper voice on the Gear.]

So we can talk to others on this? Amazing....you'd think it'd be larger.

Hello, Johto! Everything I've been told so far is true, right? There's no set way to head home, so instead we're off on a grand adventure?

Sounds like fun! What are everyone's favorite Pokémon? Which are the strongest?



[On the other hand, those in the Rocket HQ who stop by the training arena may also notice a new face - and in person, he's properly pissed. He's got a Mawile against a Grimer and appears to be commanding both sides.]

Too slow. Bite, again! And Grimer - evade!

[The Pokémon hop to it, though Mawile gnashes its horns at him rather sulkily first.]
