unfulfilledstrex

[Oh, look, it's this one again. Charming and hideously blunt as ever, it seems.]

Ah, so it seems you've made it to civilization in one piece after all - I was wondering whether you would, the weather being what it has been and all.

[I mean, at least the temperatures have been...a bit less made of pure unadulterated "screw you" lately, but still...]

It's a wonder you're still so enthusiastic, amore, well done; I know I certainly wasn't when I finally hit Cherrygrove at the start.

[...Tsukiyama, you also starved yourself for like a week because you hadn't figured out that eating food was a thing, that might be why.]

From:

Hello, there! [He is always cheerful...it should be a sin.]

Tsukiyama, it was? It's a pleasure to se you again, I'm surprised you find my enthusiasm so stunning, it is always good to have a fresh brand of enthusiasm on hand. How else can my smile be as bright as it is, how can I assure people I am the friendly, perfect radio host of Desert Bluffs if I do not bring a smile to my face regardless of the outcome!

Me and my pokemon are surely looking forward to a break and severe sterilizing.

From:

[...Please tell him you mean a shower and not - ...you know what, he doesn't want to know. There are some things best left unsaid.]

No, no, the pleasure is mine - and you're a radio host, are you? That would explain quite a bit, actually.

[Are...all radio hosts just insane or something, the other one he's met here isn't exactly right in the head either...]

Am I to assume that that's how you bring your, ah, smiling God to the people, then?

From:

I am, a bright and sunny radio host, unlike another radio host I have had the fortune to come into contact with. Such a shame we didn't see eye to eye, Strex wished to show him the good we could bring him, the town he called home and we really did enjoy all that he had to offer until he decided to Rebel!

[A Pause.]

That. Is another story which doesn't need to be heard.

[No, he is the crazy one. The other is normal in comparison.]

I am the voice of Strex and enforce their ideals among the people of Desert Bluffs, without me, our dear Smiling God would not have a face or a voice to be heard.

From:

WELL, ALL RIGHT THEN.]

Ah, you have such passion about all of this - how fascinating! This story of yours probably doesn't need to be heard, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be interested in hearing it sometime - privately, maybe, if you would prefer to not have everyone immediately around hear it.

Though if you're truly disinterested in sharing, that's fine...though that doesn't mean I won't still be curious.

[...this is probably the exact opposite of the reaction that he should be having to this, isn't it, um.]

From:

Private? How would you privately talk, do you mean face to face?

[He would be glad to tell you his tale of woe and how he was defeated by someone who's ideals and imperfections are a stain on his perfect record.]

From:

Ah, unfortunately we won't be able to meet in person for some time, I'm a fair distance from you yet. But I could always lock the video feed down, if you don't want to wait.

I understand the desire to keep things just between myself and someone else, believe me.

From:

Ooooohohooho! That would be nothing short of desirable! I always can enjoy giving a good story to those who are forced to listen.

From:

You can't force a willing participant, monsieur.

[That said, under a private lock this goes.]

Now. What was it that you were talking about earlier...?

From:

[There is a long pause as he thinks for a moment about where to start. The story was vivid in his mind, that it take no effort to pluck it free and disclose. However it all depended on how to say it.]

Nightvale. A town that was our rival and idolized all at once. What excitement I had to visit it, finally meet everyone and learn everything about the small town! A long awaited plot was set in progress and our God creeped upon the unsuspecting town, before setting our expansion into motion. Of course this was for their benefit as well, Strex was only expanding and in no time at The Greater Desert Bluffs Metropolitan Area was born.

We were met with some resistance, but a quick company picnic was put into play to reward those who were deserving and those that weren't. Oh we made sure only the appropriate amount of reward was given to each individual, so do not worry, only the appropriate amount of deserved reward was given. There were also snacks!

With this advancement I was put in place as Radio Host of the new Greater Desert Bluffs Metropolitan Area...with our Vice President...Laruen...Mallard. What a women, competent in comparison to a chimpanzee.

[He pauses for a moment, allowing himself to take a breather.]

From:

...So you took over a rivaling faction in the name of your smiling God.

[And with a woman named Lauren...presumably the one the cat's named after, then. Interesting...]

I'm honestly not surprised; let's say I know several people who work similarly back home. Not in the name of any sort of corporation, mind, they were working toward something else, but the idea is the same.

I'm also not unfamiliar with these..."picnics" of yours, if they are what I think they are. I know of someone who quite liked that sort of thing.

[Several someones, really. Many of them are dead now, of course; the one he's mentioning specifically is likewise dead now. But still.]

Do go on, however.

From:

All in all the snack giving was appropriate and well deserved and people, heavily, enjoyed the picnic. We even managed to snuff out that Tamika Flynn and capture some UGLY scientists that didn't want to join in on the fun.

However...the former radio host decided to take back his former glory and instead of sharing his town, managed to remove us from the station. Strex being better and perfect, wouldn't let that happen. Hidden, but accepting to Nightvales protest, we infiltrated his broadcast and offered empathy, a new tactic me and Laruen. Mostly me, thought up.

Some were very welcome to the idea and I even made some new friends, like that Steve fellow. He was willing to welcome our Smiling God, but his daughter, he was angered by the idea of fixing her. This is when, with the faltering radio host, he hoisted me into the very light I cherished and I vanished to the desert. Not my Desert though, to clarify.

[His smile returns.]

Of course this is summed up, a little snippet of the full story. The correct side of the story. Looking forward, it's a good thing Strex can progress without his meddling hand.

From:

[ Normally he really isn't one to pay attention to these things but there's just something about this dude's training methods that... pings him. ]

Oi. You're not supposed to be throwing sticks at them.

From:

[He smiles softly, always thinking.]

It is learning to behave, accepting playtime with ease. Of course with a name like Lauren, this method of play is deserving.

From:

[ There's a bit of a frown there. ]

You ever had anyone throwing sticks at ya?

From:

Well why would someone throw sticks at me? I am not named Lauren, nor am I a small animal that needs to be trained properly. I assure you that I am trained...by Strex.

[Here is a smile, one that is deep and twisted as he own ideas.]

From:

Ya don't need to throw sticks at 'em to make 'em listen.

[ Because really, who throws sticks? But at least that thing's learned how to catch. ]

The hell's Strex?

From:

Oh, no no! You misunderstand me. It's not to get the pokemon to obey, but merely to prepare it for anything that comes it's way.

[Catch? Well more or less it has.]

Ohhhh! Strex, how may times have I repeated this now. All the same I don't mind educating a curious newcomer! Strex, how can id describe such a wonderful company, who brought a blinding light into our town and raised productivity levels to unreachable stats for our Desert Bluffs. Strex is our, my Smiling God! Here in this world I plan to follow along as they have trained me and with luck, Strex will be here for all of you to witness it's glory.

From:

[ Yeah, okay maybe he's making sense. Just a little. Suoh was never the religious sort though... or that's at least what he thinks given all the talk about a God or something. ]

...whatever it is, it probably isn't here. This world isn't like yours. You just got here too?

From:

Oh I know Strex is not here, but Strex always finds a way. For if they didn't, we wouldn't be very productive and that will not stand sir. I arrived about a week ago and things have been well. I recently started training my pokemon, but you already knew that.

From:

[ He's just sitting quietly and listening now, as is his usual thing. There's a nod though at the last bit. ]

Sounds like you showed up around the same time I did.

From:

I sure did! Where have you reached on your journey?

From:

With a buddy of mine. We met up in Cherrygrove and heading to Violet.

You?

From:

Me too! Unfortunately I'm all alone and heading to Violet City next. I hope to earn my first gym badge.
