Updating The Boss

[rocket_man]

So plans are in the works, hmm? And you're certain this time? You say that these pieces of evidence all point to it happening very soon. In the next months before year's end, or as soon as tomorrow perhaps.

I see.

Don't let me down this time, mundane.

[shadowsnagger]

'It'? 'Plans'?

Way to sound super-cryptic and suspicious, man.

[rocket_man]

That's the idea.

[shadowsnagger]

I dunno, that kind of talk is just begging for some obnoxious preteen do-gooder to come and ruin it all.

[rocket_man]

Unfortunately, some obnoxious preteen do-gooder has already ruined it. Of course if those fools from Team Plasma hadn't interfered...

[shadowsnagger]

There you go, blame others on your own shortcomings.

Look, what I'm basically trying to say is that you need a lesson in subtlety. Talking all spooky-cryptic? Every hero-type in the country's going to watching your every move after a speech like that.

[rocket_man]

You'd think I had some sort of evil plan with the way I was talking? Well, I don't. Not at the moment. The spooky-cryptic talk was misleading.

[shadowsnagger]

Misleading or not, you're still going to get some unwanted attention like that.

[rocket_man]

I haven't gotten too much attention before. Besides, Team Rocket does at it pleases!

[betterthanpanty]

I would be wary of putting your faith in these mundanes. My experience tells me that they are generally unreliable and prone to putting muses such as ourselves into random scenarios of pandemonium for the sole purpose of their amusement.

[rocket_man]

But this is not something my mundane takes lightly, nor is it a scenario he wishes to put me in. This concerns something in my canon that means much to both of us.

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty pouts, jealous.]

You wouldn't be willing to trade mundanes, now would you? Mine seems to take a macabre pleasure in tossing me into random memes that sometimes contradict my canon, and I don't appreciate it.

She however, finds it hysterical...the sociopathic sadist.

[rocket_man]

Sociopathic sadist, you call her? Hmmmm. I do like the sound of that mundane.

[betterthanpanty]

Ha! Her sociopathic tendencies only go so far as to make me uncomfortable - my brand of sadism goes far beyond that indeed. I’m a Demon, after all, it’s in our very nature to torment others!

[rocket_man]

Then why do you curse your mundane for her lesser sadism? That seems rather hypocritical.

[betterthanpanty]

Because it annoys me…

[Scanty enjoys playing the sadist, not being the victim.]

A true sadism master does not enjoy watching an arrogant novice practice the art. Or do you still disagree?

[rocket_man]

It depends on how good the novice can be at it. If she is a natural, then I consider a greater purpose for her based on her qualifications. But if she is merely a pretender, then I break her spirit and put her in a world of pain.

[betterthanpanty]

Precisely! And that is, unfortunately for me, exactly what my mundane is – a pretender. She thinks she knows torment, but the scenarios she’s put me in are only mildly uncomfortable at best!

So worst of all, I have to put up with these wretched situations that she puts me in, and I have to tolerate her babbling and bragging about how she enjoys tormenting me! Please, she doesn’t know the meaning of the word!

[…that can change reaaaaally damn quick, Scanty…]

[rocket_man]

Hmhmm. So you think...

[betterthanpanty]

Psh, you make it sound like a mere human is something to fear...

[rocket_man]

Humans deserve to hold supremacy over all the so-called more powerful beings!

[betterthanpanty]

You're welcome to try.

[rocket_man]

I would...if I had any interest.

So... Mewtwo just got into Ruby City. Just... fyi. |3

[psychic_supremecy]

[Have a Mewtwo just glaring all kinds of daggers at both his mundane and Giovanni.]

[rocket_man]

You need not concern yourself with this, Mewtwo. Focus on your new Mega Evolutions and be gone!

[psychic_supremecy]

Anything you do is worthy of concern. I need no new evolution to stop you.

[rocket_man]

Stop me? How can you stop what has already been done?

[psychic_supremecy]

I will find a way. Whenever your plans near fruition, rest assured, I will have a hand in bringing them crashing down around you.

[rocket_man]

You have no idea what I'm even talking about.

Guess who's been paying attention to XY news? This muse.

[snowpointvictor]

If Team Rcoket gets involved again, Ash will stop you.

Oh Zoey.

[rocket_man]

Right now I am not certain if Team Rocket will involve itself in the Kalos region: only that those three will be going there. However, that is not what I was talking about with my mundane.

[theblacktulip]

You are certain your mundane is reliable when it comes to this matter, sir?

[rocket_man]

My mundane is only as reliable as his sources, and if what he says is true, it's a reliable source he has.

[theblacktulip]

Excellent! It's about damn time!

[rocket_man]

I'd like it to come very soon in the coming weeks. Before my three chief agents get rushed to the Kalos region!

[theblacktulip]

I doubt they'll remain your "chief agents" for long after that, though.

[rocket_man]

That would depend on how willing I am to allow them to continue their mission to bring me that boy's Pikachu. I'd like to think Team Rocket would have more important business, though, in the Kalos region or elsewhere. But it's only my call if hack showrunners make it so.

[nobodys_king]

I must say though, your new wardrobe is far more...socially acceptable than your previous choices.

[heartofdragons]

So says the guy in a weird priest get-up and too much jewelry.

[nobodys_king]

You don't have room to give anybody wardrobe advice, miss.

/Found this through Backtracking

[doctor_zager]

It was, in fact, two and a half years later.

Not simply weeks, or months, but years.

If I may, sir, perhaps you need to put your mundane through a re-socialization program?

Preferably one in which he is forced to learn how to calculate these matters more accurately!

[rocket_man]

To be fair to my mundane, he wasn't entirely off - he'd calculated the first year of Generation 6. It was actually the last year of Generation 6.

Same generation, different end of the spectrum. Though there's no excuse for the estimation of month. Perhaps I will have to force him to estimate time better...
