licentious | III. Jailbreak. [anonymous video from an injured policeman's PCD]

[ The video feed turns on suddenly. It's clear that it's a jail of some sorts, and there's been a heavy battle going on within the confines of the jail. However, the feed turns on only to show the conclusion. One guard seems almost paralyzed, barely able to utter out the words "you monster", as another guard looks frustrated at the poison powder that's still lingering in the background.

Elsewhere, it appears that the other guards were less fortunate. The stroll down the confines of the jail is noiseless, except for the distinct sound of heels clacking, followed by a bit of a stomp from what must be monstrous pokémon. The light fixtures blink on and off, revealing frames of a horrific scene. Some guards are frozen to the bone, a human popsicle of sorts. Other guards have deep lacerations and pierces. While others just look borderline flattened. Some seemed to be crushed by rocks and buried in sand.

It's clear. Whoever did this knows what they're doing, and don't have a sense of human warmth within them. They're cold, nasty and vile.

The walking stops at the end of the hall, and a low, husky voice speaks two commands. ]

Freeze. Then slash.

[ The pokémon, whose whitish blue arms are the only thing visible, does as told. A blizzard first impacts the bars before they're sliced in half. ]

Welcome back, Commander. [ The feed briefly turns back on herself, except her hair is tied back in a slick pony tail and she's wearing a Ho-Oh mask that blurs out the majority of her face. ]

To all of those of you that could stomach those images [ The way she turns the phrase implies that stomach goes much beyond tolerating, and into the territory of like. ] I implore you to contact me immediately.

It's the consequences of a pokémon battle. They stated they were going to use everything in their power to halt me, so you can't honestly be surprised when I used everything in my power to stop them.

[ Well, that technically isn't it. Lust enjoys just inflicting misery onto people. She's built up a lot of resentment towards people in the last two years. Working under them, dealing with them day in and day out, inadvertently causing many a crisis, it was finally time for payback. She's usually not this open about it, but, that served another purpose. She wanted to catch attention of Johto's brutalist. The ones without hearts. The disconnection between people here is ridiculous, and, if the good people can create a knighthood against the wrath of Team Rocket, then surely Lust can make a league of villains to help each other out. The ratio of good to bad in terms of power is just too skewed because of (and lack of) unity.

But, like she's going to reveal that to some child. Instead, she'll lead him on another chase. A little mental anguish would be an excellent side dish to this. ]

So, do you normally decorate your text when you're incensed, or is this just a special occasion?

Default settings. Not even a good one.

Not the point though! The point was that if you're going to handle an opponent, then you shouldn't do things like that without a reason. The fact you're filming says you might have one, but I can't figure out what it's supposed to be, and it's seriously not cool to mess people up like that just because you feel like it.

Hmm.. How I wish for the days where communication was less blinding. [ She rolls her eyes at Obito's next point. ]

It was only a matter of time before the surveillance videos were released. I'd much rather give people a reason to stay away then to pursue myself when the wanted posters come rolling in. FIlming the aftermath doesn't impact anything, anyways. Would you prefer to see a video of the whole thing? I thought I was being generous. [ She slashed a man and she liked it! He looks lifeless from that nasty Lickilicky hit... ]

If you want I can switch back to my other text, the one I had before this.

So you're trying to shore up a reputation as a mysteriously brutal enemy? What's the point of that?

I'd prefer if you just used what's available. There's one that has a standard, clean feel. [ She doesn't want to use voice or video beyond that. Sighs. ]

It just gets people out of the way until the warrant expires. Nothing more, nothing less.

[You're so lucky he's taking that as a no Lust.]

And the point of actually trying to get people to jump on the video? I mean, it was pretty clear you wanted reactions.

You mean the message at the end? It's more likely to produce the opposite effect. Disregarding something so casually will draw out more bleeding hearts like yourself.

[ Lust is just head shaking right now. ]

There's a difference between a bleeding heart and someone who objects to brutality just for the sake of brutality. Sometimes stuff like this can be needed. I don't think this was.

Well, I wasn't expecting thinking to be a strong suit of yours anyways. It discourages other police officers from giving chase in the area. It discourages people from getting involved. They'd probably resort to physical attacks once their pokémon were down anyways. Are you stating I should let them be just as brutal towards me? This was simply a contest of who could attack the quickest and strongest.

[Obito had to take a minute to not rise to the insult. Was. Not. Worth. It.]

You're the one that decided to make a game of it, that's all I'm pointing out. Sure, you made effective use of it, but you can't tell me that you couldn't have gotten the same results with less damage, can you?

Yes, I can tell you that I couldn't have gotten the same results with less damage. What happens after I defeated their pokémon? I doubt the policemen are going to let me free a prisoner because I defeated them in a pokémon battle.

So you immediately needed to step it up to potentially maiming them? Instead of killing them or knocking them out?

Would you prefer it if I killed them? [ That might just be happening if you keep this up, Obito. ]

NO!!

It just seems... harsh.

Would you rather have a few people badly injured but will make it out okay, or more people injured but lesser injuries?

[There was a longer pause here.]

Worse injuries as long as everyone can make a full recovery, otherwise the other way would likely be better for this kind of thing.

Then I did it exactly to your standards. I don't see what the big deal is.

Why were you so happy about it?

Who said I was happy? Psychiatry doesn't seem suited to your talents, may I suggest bus driver instead?

It just seemed like it and that was the part that really upset me in the first place! Cause, you know, I get the whole enemy and needed and not needed and tactics and stuff, just... that bugged me enough to answer okay?

[ Lust doesn't really have much to say about this. She thought she made it evident that she doesn't really care about feelings from people she never met, but, she doesn't want to just add salt to an ice burn (yegads that would suck). ]

I see. Is this over the top brutality common in your world?

Sometimes, but it really depends who you're fighting, and where, just what kind of person you have to deal with, and if they're one of the ones who will try to make it bad.
