[Who knows. For now, he's just standing there... menacingly.]

I know~ ✨✨✨

You came to take me down, but I only see one of us on the ground.

I won't stop, for the record.

What is the one thing I tell you each and every morning? "Wake up." The other thing. "For the love of god, stop sleeping naked."

[Happily dragging Samuel away!]

👍

Aren't I always? Say the word and we can test these keys out~

Okay, good. I was worried it wasn't for a second.

Do you? What would have happened if I ended up saying any of the other other ones? [He chuckles, taking it in stride.]

[He smiles innocently.] Do you now? Why would that be?

That's already implied by my question.

Is it gay to have matching handcuff keys?

I know I deserve this misery.

Why would you want to?

A tree? [Proton looked to where she was pointing. He could barely see that from here. No way he would have noticed.] Most likely a pokémon hiding in there. We should check to be sure. [He guides moltres toward the tree.]

That's what I thought.

A lot of people are in Rocket.

You're not going to try to say I'm wrong, are you?

And? I never said I wasn't.

I said @ team rocket last time, but I think I just need to say @ everyone and cover all of my bases.

That man is gay. Good for him.

At worst, this'll probably just kill me, which is best for everyone, including myself.

Listen, bud. You're dead, and I'm alive. So in conclusion: I win, God rest your soul.

I wouldn't expect anything less.

Might have been newly promoted, I dunno. But you hit the nail on the head.

Some admin who thought he was important enough to disturb my sleep personally.

Dunno. Not like my phone's off or anything, they can just call me if I'm needed.

Yep. Not like I care that much, but they can't complain. It's MY room.

Some people need to stop expecting me to sleep with clothes on. You'd think they'd learn by now.

I mean, yeah, but that's for my job. I also like to have fun and mess with people. I can do both.

[Blink. Blink.] You, uh... okay over there?

Yeah, why? You see one?

Uh... Sure, why not. Golbat, we got you a donor, so you can have a meal today. Eat up. [The bat happily chirps before landing on the extended forearm. Meanwhile, Proton takes off a glove and rolls up his sleeve.] Have at it.

Stealing and killing are a huge rush! I wish I had started at a much younger age. I caught the fever!

Exactly! See? This is why. You get me.

-:- Hmmmmm... Why not?

[ @ascaryw0rld.bsky.social ] You. New recruit. I know you probably just got out of orientation, but I need you on a mission today. Come with me.

Pick a god and pray!

Is that what they're calling it these days?

Proton. And I'm willing to maybe die because I maybe don't wanna live. [He shrugs.] I could go either way at this point.

[That was a perfect reaction. He couldn't ask for anything better.] Guess it is.

Nah, I was just going to say it was low-key where we just signed papers and didn't have a ceremony. Easier that way. [He smiles.] Yeah, my pranks can be amazing sometimes.

That's the point. You don't take things too seriously like a lot of people I know. You make things fun around here.

Well, it was originally going to be a long con that ended with me "divorced." But you didn't get to see that part. It really was supposed to be funny... Dunno why you're crying about it...

What's up, demons? It's me, ya boy.

We were never in love. So when we were fucking, who were you thinking of?
