artfuldestruction | 2ND PIECE - [VIDEO/ACTION FOR THE TEAM ROCKET BASE]

[[Even though the plot may not have succeeded, Kato has found himself fired up tremendously since his mission with Kimblee. He's been working through all hours of the night, assembling and dissembling new creations, optimizing his designs. There's a wealth of charged weapons in all stages of development littering his portion of the lab, from simple blueprints to devices requiring nothing more than a polish.

He appears on the video feed, now, dressed in his usual outfit with the mask in place. Leaning forward slightly, he peers into the camera, smirking.]]

I should congratulate you all on a job well done.

[[He doesn't elaborate on just what he's congratulating you all on, quickly moving forward with his speech, his voice animated and lush.]]

Isn't it intoxicating? The way a powerful, immovable structure can crumble into nothing but dust floating through the sky, battered by the wind. Our universe is truly a fascinating thing, wouldn't you say?

I live for that destruction. That decomposition. The brilliant flare of an explosion, the power that rockets through the air, oh! Is there no greater feeling?! To know that you have caused the demolition of something huge, something enormous?! Can you understand that power?!

[[Slamming his hands down on the bench, Kato chuckles softly, fingers curling.]]

My Pokemon...have learned a new technique. I have my own personal bombs, capable of endless explosions!! And they only grow stronger as the days pass! Soon they will have the combined capacity to take out entire buildings! I won't even have to lift a finger!

Isn't that truly magnificent, Johto?!

[[Guys. It's hard being this well-adjusted.]]

[...Kato, you are insane. Has he mentioned you're insane? Because you are insane.

why are you always in here when he's in here]

Are you quite done?

Don't get me wrong, it was a lovely show. However, it's not exactly the sort of thing you want to be yelling at absolutely everyone.

[[HE IS A KIMBLEY! Just with far better hair.]]

Selfdestruct. But soon they will learn Explosion! We just have to keep training.

I'm not in it for the kill; more for the spectacle.

[[....someone crazier than him? Is this possible?]]

What sort of methods do you employ, then?

It will be a magnificent usage of your time; I promise you.

Descole!

[[KATO IS HAPPY TO SEE YOU BRO! Have you come to admire his work?]]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[HE'S COME TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NOT DESTROYED THE LAB

YOU DON'T APPEAR TO HAVE DESTROYED THE LAB

THIS IS ALMOST ALWAYS A GOOD THING]

That's one way of wording it, yes.

Is there a reason you decided to perform for Johto today, or was it just...one of those days?

[[HE JUST HAS A LOT OF FEELS!!!

HE CAN'T HOLD ALL THESE FEELS!!!]]

My Pokemon learned a fantastic new technique.

So I heard.

[...he's going to have to ask eventually, isn't he

fiiiiiiiiiiine]

So which of them have learned how to blow themselves up?

My Electrode and my Koffing. Two of them, Descole! With infinite explosive potential!

[[...well up until they like

die

but who cares about that]]

Is that not the most beautiful thing you've ever heard?!

Infinite explosive potential? You're certain on that?

[yeah um you might not want to encourage the dying, bro

you run out of exploding things if they die]

[[Oh please if they die he'll just get a new one, okay!!]]

Perhaps infinite was the wrong word; rechargable.

[well yes but that would be horribly inconvenient; you could have spent that time destroying more things, you know

i mean what]

So they manage to blow themselves up without...completely destroying themselves in the process.

[............]

Dare I ask how that works?

That's the current topic of my research, along with how to maximise it without killing the things. You're welcome to contribute, if you like~

[[...Descole you are a bro, you understand this shit]]

I might even give you a demonstration~

[hey, now. you cannot defeat Kayneth Archibald in a smug-off. he is simply the best there is.]

Is that some sort of threat?

Well they probably do.

[It is you who are missing the point, Kato!]

An invitation to an art show, a threat? You're a paranoid fellow, aren't you?

[ACTUALLY, he'd much rather lecture you about ~*~BONDS~*~ and ~*~HOPE~*~, but that doesn't seem like the time or place for it, so--]

... You're gonna pay for that.

[VAGUE THREATS ARE A GO.]

Keep telling yourself that, boy.

[[/FEED CUT!

U MAD CROW?]]

[OH FU--

YOU DID NOT JUST--

YOU REALLY DID

That weird sound people present at Cianwood Inn have heard just now may or may not have been Crow groaning loudly in anger and throwing his Gear on the bed.

FUCK YOU TOO, KATO.]

[ She's just eye rolling right now. ]

So much for the element of surprise. [ Does he really expect to get away with this now? ]

......and?

[[Still not seeing the problem here, Harley~!]]

I don't remember mentioning such a thing.

[[Come on Lust, you think he would've done this if he cared about that?]]

[there's not much point in denying it, he's been riding the crazy train at varying speeds since he showed up in johto]

As long as you try to keep the lab in one piece, I may see if I can join you once or twice.

It never hurts to be cautious, particularly when it comes to explosives.

It'd most likely be more successful if you just surprised us and let us figure it out for ourselves. Now we're going to anticipate what you're going to do and react accordingly.

[ Eye rolling. So much eye rolling. ]
