01 ☣ video/action for NBT
[ The audio turns on with the hiss of static, it lasts about half a second before— ]
Stuck? Stuck?! Bullshit!
[ Whoever's speaking, they're clearly angry. There's the sound of paper getting pushed aside and metal hitting the floor, followed swiftly thereafter by glass breaking and plastic getting crushed. The horrified gasps of a few scientists fill in the ensuing silence. ]
Kyrie...she's in danger, I have to...
[ The yelling voice seems to have slowed and quieted to a low growl. The thudding of boots marks heavy, erratic pacing; the crunch of plastic indicates the violence isn't quite over.
It's here the video turns on; a big blue snout blocks the view, before the head pans out to reveal a Bagon, looking upset. The small creature turns the 'gear around, capturing the scene:
Elm's lab is trashed.
Papers litter the floor, broken glass and torn plastic casings strewn in the wake of whole workstations being knocked down. Chairs are on their sides, tables half-emptied of their contents, shattered vials releasing fluids onto the linoleum. A group of scientists—strangely, none of them hurt—are watching with wide, frightened eyes as a young man paces. 'Young man' is perhaps generous: half-man, half-snarl, flashing teeth that feel as though they should be pointed. He can't seem to contain himself, his eyes stare ahead emptily, focused on something that isn't there; every other movement he's whirling, stopping, starting again, hands raised, hands down, flexing and touching his right hand over and over. There's blood on that fist; it's easy to connect the dots to the hole in one of the computer monitors. Finally, after about a minute, he spins deftly on his heel and grabs Elm by the collar of his labcoat. Tiny flowers of blood bloom on the white fabric. ]
I have to get back!
[ He shakes Elm for good measure, as the poor harried researcher can only hang on and blubber apologies. Nero snarls. ]
Answer me!
[ The Bagon puts down the gear and leans over it worriedly, making a soft keening noise. Come calm his trainer down, please, somebody! Anybody? ]
[[OOC: all characters who signed up and any who didn't are welcome to come crash the party and help Elm get away from the rampaging teenager. Video/audio responses will come chronologically after he calms down. ]]

video;
[ With some distaste, he puts the device down to fetch it. His Bagon takes the opportunity to come sniff at the edges of the 'gear. Hello, pretty girlthing! From off-camera, Nero grumbles. ]
Hey, leave that alone, already.
[ The little lizard has caused him enough grief. ]

Looks like I'm a 'trainer'.
[ Bagon is still hovering over the gear, crooning at Nanako. Hiiiiii~ ]
Let me guess: the lizard's got something to do with it.
video;
Yep! He's your partner now and you have to train him to get really, really strong to beat all the gym leaders!
video;
Gym leaders? [ Oh, he'll beat them, all right.............with his pokemon. Once he figures stuff out. ] When happens if I do?
video;
You get a gym badge! For a while, people were saying that if you beat all eight of them and the Elite Four, you'll get to go home. I don't think anyone's ever gotten that far though, so no one knows if it's really true.

Sounds like I've got my work cut out for me.

It's nothing. Anyway, I'd better hit the road.
