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.]]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

A true artist reveals their talents after the public has experienced it. If they announce it previously, chances are it won't be displayed.

[ Lust doesn't take too kindly being insulted, but she can't openly insult him either. ]

I'm not missing any point. It just seems we have different views on art. [ And, in her opinion, your point sucks. ]

[[Oh she's free to openly insult him! He'll just give it back, that's all.]]

Why on earth would an artist remain anonymous while their work was presented? Recognition is the point. I ensure the audience knows exactly who is responsible. Before and after.

[ Aha. Lust wouldn't insult people who have ties to her own men. ): Sadly. ]

So you just want to be famous? [ Said in an appraising, thoughtful tone. ]
