You don't even know.

As for the guesses, the answer was guessed!....though of course as to which one, that won't be revealed until the rest of the group meets up once again. Must not...do the....Steiner eybrows....MUST...NOT.....DO....

That might not happen for a while, as Quickie and Mewtwo are stuck in Vermilion, facing trial.  Though, since Giovanni is going there, too, and he has Steiner on speed dial...

And as for creepy pervy douchebag scientist types?  Back in the day, I had one and he was name-dropped, but I never did anything with him.  Though, I guess Dr. Yeung could always hook up with Steiner...

A Kyurem?  They're big.

But, yes, keep Steiner around.  Giovanni needs a douchebag for his latest plan, and Domino lacks the scientific knowhow.  She's better for setting up military operations, anyway.

Ugh I just feel like I'm along for the ride here, which I guess isn't bad.

I'm kicking Mewtwo's butt for getting himself in jail.  Arceus knows that he'd certainly be useful in Cerulean.  But, no, he got himself arrested.

Giovanni might have need for Steiner later, when he gets around to putting his new plans into motion.

Legendaries are ours for the taking.

And have fun with your interrogations.  I don't have much more that I could add to Mewtwo's sniffly pity party, and Quickie was already questioned.  At most, I might drag out another Jenny and Archie the techie to start going through the other discs and figure out how they're going to get into Mewtwo's computer.

I've only shopped at FYE once, as they were the only store to carry the ultimate cut of Watchmen.  Otherwise, I never bothered with them.

For the record, the store was incredibly disorganized and it took me about fifteen minutes to find the damn DVD, and that was after asking an employee for help.

As for moving to another state... I hate moving!  I'll just never answer my phone and pretend I'm not home.

I am not a people person, and thus I'd rather a job working behind the scenes, doing something by myself, where I don't need to even talk to another person unless they talk to me.

And yet... AND YET I want to man the Wookieepedia booth at CVII in Anaheim in 2015.

What the hell is wrong with me? D:

Blarg.  I may call it an early night in an hour or so.  Just getting tired, though it may be related to the Fuzzy Navel I drank while watching Marville #5.  Though, that was just finishing up the bottle that I started last night, and it takes more than that to get me tipsy.  Also, 3.2% alcohol by volume is a piddly amount.

So, I may simply still be recovering from Sunday night and Monday, as I had to spend far too much time than I preferred in an environment that sent my allergies into overdrive.

So, yes, allergy attacks equals tired, and I'll be ducking out in an hour or so.

"Regardless, she is in possession of stolen property," Domino let the persona drop for a bit as she returned to the table and her mountain of paperwork, "and by law, that stolen property needs to be returned.  It's not so much keeping Mewtwo away from the public, it's getting back what's rightfully ours.  Mewtwo is dangerous, even if that damage was unintentional.  Should it throw a temper tantrum at the world, it would level it."

Her phone rang and she answered it, "Go ahead.  ...Right.  Filling out the paperwork right now, actually.  ...No, not tonight.  The soonest we could secure a transfer was tomorrow morning.  Gives us time to prepare.  ...Right.  ...Right.  ...You sure?  Hold on..." she thumbed through the papers and read a paragraph. "...Yes, the Pokemon Institute becomes the legal holders for the interim.  ...I do believe so."  There was a pause as she listened and nodded. "I would believe so.  ...As far as I know.  ...The clones, too.  ...Last I checked, yes.  ...We'll be heading back there once I'm done with this.  When will you be arriving?  ...Good.  Alright, we can meet, then.  ...Right.  Bye."  She hung up and looked to Joe.  "Giovanni's on his way.  Once we're done here, we'll head back to the Pokemon Institute and make further arrangements.  There are some kennels designed to hold Psychic types, so we'll put Mewtwo in one.  Got some help over there, so it shouldn't be too difficult to handle.  From what I've seen, it's been pretty cooperative."

Mewtwo nodded and sniffed.  "They will allow me to testify... will they not?"  He rubbed his eyes and drew in a wavering breath. "One of my creators... one of the surviving creators... he has records...  He can also confirm what had happened in Fuchsia..."  He paused, sniffing, thinking about what else Ryuta had said. "What sort of 'test' would they need to do in order to prove who is more capable of controlling me?  I... I did not intend for all this to happen...  I did not want to endanger my friends and family...  What about my clones?  Please tell them... tell them that I am truly sorry..."


At a table in the break room, Domino mulled over the paperwork.  It was taking her longer to fill it out, as she was having difficulty with keeping her identities straight.  Her wallet was on the table before her, her identification spread about.  She had numerous identities and aliases, and she was thankful that she could keep them all organized.  She had made sure to gather all of the necessary identification for her Harley persona, avoiding a snafu that she had encountered some years back, when she accidentally packed identification for another alias, while operating under an entirely different name.

Domino sighed, looked over her cards, double-checked her information, then shoved the chair backward as she stood, making her way to the vending machine.  She glanced over her shoulder at Joe.  "Ya want anythin'?"  Despite being alone, she made sure to keep up her Harley persona.

She busied herself with purchasing her drink and snack, thinking about the paperwork.  The soonest that she could rush a transfer was tomorrow, as the cops were not about to let Mewtwo leave tonight.  In the meantime, it would allow her to make preparations and arrangements over at the Pokemon Institute.  The arrangements would also allow her and any other undercover agents virtually unlimited access to Mewtwo, and keep its pesky slave at bay.

Mewtwo thought about that and fell silent for a long time.  This wasn't just his battle, anymore.  He hasn't been fighting alone for a while.  Yet, he still took it upon himself to take full responsibility for any trouble that they had seen along the way.  Though, there were other things that he needed to take responsibility for.  Other things for which he only had himself to blame. 

This whole situation could be traced right back to his own actions.  Over the years, since meeting Quickie, and through Quickie, meeting Pyro, Mewtwo had taken an intense interest in Pyro's abilities and actions.  Pyro could teleport anything anywhere, and should they run into trouble, he could easily cause an odd incident to crop up in the home or business of their rivals.  Someone cuts you off in traffic?  Their car's stereo starts blaring the most irritating commercial jingle possible, while Spindas dance in a line across their dashboard.  Such bizzare happenings were never investigated, and Mewtwo watched as Pyro's actions went by without consequence.

For a while, it seemed as if Mewtwo could possibly do such things.  He had seen Mew act in a similar playful manner, so could he do the same?  Could he retaliate against the people who have wronged him in the past, without them knowing his involvement?  The relating of the incident would cause others to laugh, would it not?

So, foolishly, Mewtwo did just that. 

It was the biggest mistake he had ever made.

He had regretted it ever since, and it had culminated to involving his clones.  They were in trouble because of him.  Quickie was in trouble because of him.  Ahrzayl, somewhere in Cerulean, was in trouble because of him.  Heirophant was in trouble because of him.  Team Rocket was relentless in pursuing him because of his foolish actions.  All because he though, for once, that he could be like Pyro.  That he could cause strange happenings and get away with it.

This was all Mewtwo's fault.  His and his alone.  His anger was misplaced.  Carr was not to blame.  Team Rocket was not to blame.  No one was to blame but him.  He risked losing everything and everyone he had ever cared about.  He was dragging others into the mess just to save his sorry ass.

Officer Jenny was right.  Mewtwo had no one to blame but himself.

A knot formed in his throat and he tried to swallow it down as he averted his gaze to the floor before him.  He had not cried in a very long time, and had prevented himself from doing so for just as long.  However, he was not sure if he could stop it this time.  He let out a wavery breath as the tears began to flow for the first time in years.  "I am sorry... I am truly sorry..."

"I could relocate them.  They were all hidden, in different parts of the world," Mewtwo nodded, "but somehow, they were found, gathered together, and brought here... by an impostor who used them, preyed upon them... It disgusts me!" He soon found himself standing, glaring at the cell door, throwing a sharp gesture at it, indicating that the impostor was located within the station. "That shrunken human had brainwashed my family!  He took my form and used it to prey upon my clones, and because of him, they may never be free?!"  He let out a low growl. "That impostor had ruined lives that he had no right to interfere in!"

One of the guards stepped forward, addressing Ryuta. "If it gets any more agitated, we're bringing in the wardens to deal with it.  You said you can calm it down..."

Mewtwo took the hint and sucked in a deep breath, counting to himself, and retreating to the corner, glaring at the guards.

(And on that note, I'm going to bed.  Crashing... hard...)

"Let's not get to hasty," Ryuta said, "You've done a lot of things on your own, but right now you need to trust the reliability of your friend.  Acting on your own thoughts and instincts without including any confidence in her experience as a trainer is only going to make it harder to prove how much Team Rocket doesn't deserve to own you."

Mewtwo fell silent as he thought about that.  If legal ownership of him was transferred to Quickie, then he could continue to live the independent life that he had chosen.  He would be free from being pursued so relentlessly.  Though, he knew that even legal documents wouldn't stop Team Rocket.  They would still try to find some way to get him back, even if they resorted to petty theft, or finding another method to regain legal ownership.

Though, that still left his clones...

"What about my clones?" Mewtwo glanced at the guards again, still waiting for them to make a move, or do something to get Ryuta away from him. "What will happen to them?  If they fall into the hands of Team Rocket, they will be used in experiments and perish..."

Mewtwo frowned. "I had already had an examination before I had departed from Fuchsia.  I see no need for another."  He glanced at the guards for a moment. "A kennel cannot hold me, and should I be returned to Team Rocket, I will escape.  I had done so before.  Many times before.  How many times must I destroy their base before the realize that nothing can contain me?"

A chill crawled up his spine as he suddenly thought about his clones and what he had overheard.  "They are capturing my clones... I must protect them, and I will use my power to do so!"

I've only just got here, Ryuta thought, But I have a general idea of what you've been thrown.  And your friend filled me in along the way.  It's not easy being one-of-a-kind and treated like a disease before a populous that's used seeing more than a couple Pokemon roaming around their parts.

"Do not tell anyone that I was conversing with Lexi.  They may prevent her from getting close enough to establish communications," Mewtwo paused for a long moment, and then reverted his telepathy to its usual broad-spectrum level.  After that, he felt that there was no longer a need to be secretive, as he said what he needed to say.  The guards at the door were eyeing him suspiciously, as he had been quiet for too long. "What is to happen to me?"

(Blargh, must have missed it. )

Ryuta can sense Mewtwo's reluctance to be near anyone but the trainer he trusts most.  If he was going to say something to assure him he wasn't sent by another common knowledge personnel, he may as well say it now.

I came here by request of your trainer, Lexi 'Quickie' Shank. he thought, keeping the energy of his aura aimed at Mewtwo, She says she wants someone that is equally knowledgeable in both human behavior and Pokemon.

Mewtwo nodded slowly, isolating his telepathy to Ryuta. "I was able to converse with her briefly, and she said that they were preventing her from speaking to me." He glanced at the guards, then returned his gaze. "Two humans had come and claimed that they were going to take me to the Pokemon Institute?  I was not given a reason why." He paused again, throwing his gaze to the door once more.  After a moment, he looked to the floor. "How much have you heard?"

You may be waiting for quite a while.   Like Yavin Vassilika, Birth of Mewtwo will become one of those "work on it when we feel like it" projects.  I have other audio adaptations planned, as well, though BoM might sooner see completion due to it being in smaller parts, and the foley already collected.  Adapting the audioplay might take a while, mainly because that's just tedious to do.  Same with some of the foley, but thankfully I won't have to put in walk cycles.

Though, I suppose I could do a few voice tests, warm up the pipes and get some voices ready to go...

That one I might not adapt too much, as it's fine, overall.  May take a few takes to get it to sound natural, though.  The rest of the script, however...  Things had gotten lost in the translation and some of the dialogue sounds like it was run through Babelfish.  It's an old translation, I used to have a printout of it back in 2000 or so.  I tried doing a fandub then, and ouch, did it turn out bad.

This time, though, I've had experience with adapting scripts for audio, and this one was translated from an audioplay, so basically, all I'm doing is giving it a thorough copy-edit to smooth out the transitions.  The context will remain the same, but I may tweak how things are said, for ease of recording.

I've recorded enough really clunky comic dialogue to know when something either needs adapted or just adlibbed.
