01. VIDEO

[A man comes on the feed and it clear to those watching that he is neither short or tall, nor fat or thin. He is dressed in a fine suit, with a yellow bow with orange polka-dots tie to match. The only problem is that his suit is covered in blood, is that blood? It certainly looks like it.

He sports a smile, which stretches from cheek to cheek in an unnatural way. His eyes, oh those eyes, are dark, black , forgotten and soulless. They glimmer and you can feel an eerie chill down your spine as he stares into the feed. ]

Hello Listeners! OH, Ohhh! Viewers in this case! I’m sure all of you who are choosing to listen, view or both, look well off and nice! This is nothing more then an assumption of course but I am safe to assume and will assume you look nice!

Now, I have a bit of an issue, listeners. This thing…. A Strex pet, probably the new model has followed me around for a few minutes and I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be doing that. My own pet in my studio that is trained to eat mice and enjoys a good stick in the face, but this fellow…he is not eating what I give him. I am fresh out of mice! Does anyone have any that want to sacrifice for the little guy!

The shop clerk I spoke too did not have live food and it was very disappointing, but that did not stop me! Instead I suggested human flesh, since I am to assume Strex is allowing me to test out the new Strex pet model. It’s probably a Beta and they feed from the soft skin of humans, also their blood. However the clerk seemed…shocked at the inquiry.

[He shrugs and widens his smile as he looks down at the Sableye.]

We will just have to improvise little fella. Of course we need to begin your proper re-training!

[He truly is shocked that you have never heard of such a forgiving and generous company. Everyone knew about Strex and if there were any who didn't, he felt it was his job to educate!]

I would have considered a the employee's advice if what he gave me was advice, but advice is usually helpful and what presented me with was not advice.

[Quickly he jumps topics and chooses to ignore that mention of human flesh. Instead he takes this opportunity to speak about Strex. ]

Stex! Is a company that is ever growing and I would describe it as bamboo: it's strong, independent, it can not be stopped as if expands and what a company it is. Strex allows for it's employees to be happy, with force! I would highly recommend that you get involved with Strex and you can find yourself seeing the blinding light that I surround myself with, creeping into the corners of your everyday life! It is very, very blinding, one might even go blind!

[He laughs.]

But of course Strex can even fix that.

[Oh, good, he's dealing with a crazy person. All right, he's...handled...worse...]

Is that so?

[And still, his words are patient; maybe even interested, a little. Let's see where this goes.]

It sounds as though this corporation can do just about anything; that's a fascinating idea. How does it go about procuring your personal happiness, monsieur - what does it do for you?

[In response he just smiles, a wide, deep, smile that cuts deep into the contours of his face.]

Strex is Strex, inquisitive stranger. I am happy if Strex is happy. When people are productive, which Strex ensures, I am happy and when there a insured perfection in my life and all that surrounds me, how can I not be happy!

...I see.

[he sort of doesn't see

why does he even bother talking to the new people oh my god]

Well, I'm afraid there's nothing like that here, amore, so you'll have to find your own happiness, it seems.

Do you mean to say...people aren't...productive?

[You said there was no Strex. Which concludes no productivity and perfection! No, no this is not good at all. Could it be that Strex really wasn't present and so he was stuck in some alternate community that did not know of Desert Bluffs, Strex or even Nightvale. It finally hits him and for a moment that smile drops a corner, but it is quickly regained.]

[...Ah, this is going to be interesting, isn't it. Tsukiyama's expression doesn't falter from pleasant, but that doesn't mean he isn't watching the feed.]

Oh, people are productive! They're very productive, actually. It's just a matter of doing it on one's own, rather than because Strex - or anyone else - has decided that it's so.

Oh! OH! Well that is just exquisite. You had me worried there...um...oh yes your name? You never gave it.

[At least people are productive, maybe for now he should just learn what he can. After all it's what Strex would expect of him.]

Tsukiyama Shuu - it's a pleasure, monsieur...?

[He trails off a bit at that; he's not exactly sure of your name here either, you know.]

Ah! A foreigner...of course it would be silly of me to assume that everyone here wouldn't be foreign, considering this is not Desert Bluffs. It doesn't matter!

My name is Kevin. [His tone drops.] Just Kevin.

Hopefully you don't mind honorifics at least, as it's a little overfamiliar for my liking otherwise - and believe me, not many things are.

[At the very least his voice isn't betraying exactly how hard he wants to twitch at that; first-name basis is so rude on the first day...]

I can't say I've ever heard of Desert Bluffs, either, though it sounds lovely judging by name alone.

I shouldn't mind them, but for your sake I highly recommend that you double check with me before addressing me as anything other then Kevin! If of course this acquaintance means something to you.

[The next noise that comes out of his mouth is loud, laced with hyperactivity and excitement.]

Oooooo!! Desert Bluffs! How do you know know about Desert Bluffs! It is a lovely town, in the middle of a desert. With a mountain and wonderful citizens who have grand smiles that dare to rival my own. We are a small but productive town that never leaves anything to waste. Our smiling god, Strex, looks down upon us and provides with all that we need, so that we have no worries and can remain as productive as possible.

You'll still be "Kevin" if that's what you would prefer; Kevin-san perhaps, but Kevin just the same.

[...Mannaggia. You absolutely do not know how to chill, do you, sir...]

And where would this town of yours be located? America, or...?

[His smile dissipates for a moment at the 'san' addition.]

Kevin. Please. Just Kevin will be fine.

It's located in the wide open freedoms of America!

[Ah. Well, you're effectively going to be called nothing if he can help it, outside of maybe the occasional monsieur or amore or sir, because holy overfamiliarity, Batman.]

Well, needless to say you're nowhere near there now; hopefully someone's explained that much, at least?

No. All anyone has mentioned is that these things are pokemon and I have attained a pokemon partner to train in battle.

[It's good to know that he wasn't in America. However he probably could have figured that out on his own.]

Well, no one knows exactly where we are; we seem to be in some sort of alternate world altogether, though I don't know how amenable you are to that sort of idea. It's also likely that we're from alternate worlds in relation to one another - in other words, I wouldn't be surprised if "Desert Bluffs" doesn't exist at all in the version of America that my world has, which is likely why I've never heard of your smiling god.

On the negative side, no one is entirely sure how to leave this place, or what brought us here; on the positive...well, we'll all be sent home eventually, and it will be as though no time at all has passed for us - we'll be put back exactly where we came from. We also can't die while we're here, to my knowledge, so that's a consolation as well, I suppose.

[There is a long silence that comes over him as he listens to every word and he's not sure what to say when the man finishes. It is unfortunate and he's used to shifting through dimensions, appearing in other places, and even going through a random portal. This though, he was not used to.]

Ohhhh! So it's like a brand new adventure or a new territory to scope out for an inevitable corporate take over! I'm certain that when the battles are done and at the end of the day, I will have influenced another in the ways of our Smiling God.

[He looks down to the Sableye and gently pats it's head.]

Vanessa is going to be the best pokemon she can be.

[.........

well

that escalated quickly]

So what do you do if people reject this smiling god of yours? Or does that simply not happen?

[He simply laughs.]

IT does not happen. Even when others find that they doubt Strex, I can always convince them that it is an ideal life decision. Street eventually finds it's way into the hearts of others.

[And that actually gets a laugh out of him as well, quietly. As far as he can tell, you're neither working for Aogiri or the CCG, nor are you working against them, and as far as he's concerned that both makes you categorically not his problem to worry about and renders him able to wonder just what the hell it is you plan on doing here in the future. You're...interesting, a pet curiosity maybe. Not anything to be concerned about, either way.

Basically, godspeed, Kevin.]

Well, I'll wish you the best of luck then. Perhaps I wouldn't mind hearing a bit more about all that sometime.
