Lee nodded. "Well, it has the dentition of most carnivores, so any meat dish should suffice.  We feed our psychic types a specialized diet while they're in quarentine, but any kibble would do, really."

Kirby looked to Mewtwo. "What was the last thing you ate?"

"A breakfast sandwich," Mewtwo said simply.

Domino shook her head, pulling out her tablet and pretending that she was looking something up. "I'd avoid giving it any human food.  Makes Pokemon gassy.  If ya don't have anything else, though... Plain sandwich wit meat that's easy ta digest."  She glanced to the officer. "No mayo, hon.  Just the bread and meat."  She looked to Joe, who was simply fascinated by Mewtwo, who had all but ignored him. "Hey, I hafta make a phonecall, G.  If ya need anything, gimme a hollah."  Excusing herself, she left the room.

(It will take a while before Ash would even get involved, as Quickie needs to mention him and then the cops need to find him.  They'd most likely go through his mom, first, get a lead on his location, then coordinate with the authorities in Unova to find Ash.  He'd then be issued a summons and have to report to the police, who would then arrange transportation for him back to Kanto, where he'd have to stay until after the trial.)

Also derived from real life.  Gary Martin, Iceman of the Sinister Six, had died that year.

In regards to crazy mothers, my mom is bipolar and displayed psychotic symptoms.  Currently, she's off her meds and working to overturn her diagnosis.  She hasn't been on her meds for a while, and while she was living with her dad, she destroyed property and was violent toward him.  He called me several times when he would be hiding from my mom, and I had to talk him into calling the police.

My brother and I were smacked around growing up, though the majority of the abuse was directed at me.  Can't say I don't blame my mom, as I was a very difficult child.  I was aggressive and obstinate, at times downright stubborn, and a lot of my disobedience stemmed from not understanding what was being asked of me.  My brother had asthma when he was younger, and was often sick, so Mom doted over him and worried every time he had the sniffles.  From age two to age five, I was sickly as well, and shuffled around from doctor to doctor until I had my tonsils removed.  Then, I was healthy and Mom turned her attention toward my brother, while I got the brunt of her anger and frustration.

A lot of the bullshit stems from her simply either not being treated or refusing to take her medication for bipolar.  She won't go to therapy, won't take her meds, and claims that she's fine and everyone else is to blame for her behavior.  She claims that she is not bipolar.

She hits every single diagnostic criteria on the head with a sledgehammer, and then some.  Mom, if you can't fool me, you can't fool a trained psychiatrist.

Your mom sounds like she's possibly bipolar.  My mom's antics were rather similar, in terms of level of crazy.

And indeed, after life has kicked one to the curb, one tends to come out better for it, so long as their head is in the right place.

Did that happen in the around the world comic jam too, because I was thinking of using stuff from that at one point.

Yeah, I used some of my history for that, too.  Makes for great drama fodder.

My dad is currently living with his mother, my mom was living with her dad, but is now living with a family friend.  It's a wonder that my brother and I have our [parasitic bomb] together.

Any relationship I had with my parents has dwindled to an acquaintance level, at best.  Both of my parents had alcohol and drug problems, and to varying extents, the drug problems are still present.  At its head, my dad was stealing my medication to get high.  My mom did the same thing, though not quite to the extent as my dad.  Her thing is painkillers, and when I had back surgery and was on a mild narcotic, my mom stole a bunch of them and replaced them with ibuprofen. 

To add to that, there are just a lot of things about my parents that [acid burst] me off, including the history I very briefly touched upon in the RP thread.  Nowadays, I rarely see my parents, as my mom is in Florida and my dad just could give less of a [parasitic bomb] about my brother and I. 

The other day, my mom called and asked if I wanted to go down to Florida and live with her.  I declined without hesitation.  I value my freedom and sanity--what's left of it--too much.

(Must have missed that post last night...)

Mewtwo didn't move, but kept his gaze locked on Joe. "You are wise to fear me, to fear my power."

Jenny leads the two down the hallway until she turns to one of the doors on the left.  She opened it and turns to Quickie, "You should go first.  You have a more favorable understanding of how Mewtwo might be feeling from a naked eye standpoint.  But try not to react so loudly.  I don't trust the density of this room, or the sharpness of your friend's ears."

Quickie nodded and went inside, peering through the observation window.  The room was small and bare, with minor damage and spots of graffiti on the walls.  Mewtwo was crouched in the middle of the room, flanked by the Pal Park wardens, with another individual in front of him.  Near the door stood a blonde-haired woman with pigtails, and behind her were two officers in riot gear.

The man standing in front of Mewtwo looked familiar... at least his facial structure did.  His hair, however, was curly and red.  Quickie watched for a moment longer and then closed her eyes, concentrating, focusing on organizing her thoughts. "I'm sorry, Mewtwo..."

In the room, Mewtwo fought against his own ingrained habits to look at the two-way mirror.  His gaze averted briefly before returning to Joe.  Isolating his telepathy and following the message to its source, Mewtwo responded. "You are not at fault.  This was brought about by my own actions."

Now that the link had been established, Quickie could focus more on organizing her thoughts into cohesive sentences, rather than expend the energy in her weak attempt to transmit them.  She opened her eyes, but her gaze remained distant and unfocused. "Have you been questioned, yet?"

"I have," Mewtwo responded, his gaze becoming distant as well, "The officer had blamed me for everything and would not allow any explanation to correct this oversight."

"Request to speak with a different officer," Quickie suggested. "I'm working to gather evidence and witnesses to corroborate our statements, and I need to get a lawyer.  This is not going to be easy."

"If it comes to it, I could use my power and permit our escape."

"No, that'll make things worse!  You do that and they'll sic the National Guard on you!"

Mewtwo did not respond for a very long moment.  He closed his eyes for a minute and took in a deep breath. "This may not be easy to do, but you said that you need witnesses.  Would witnesses against Team Rocket's cruelty suffice?"

Quickie started to nod, but caught herself. "Yes!  Anything to use against Team Rocket, the earlier in your life, the better!"

"Very well.  Tell them to find Ash Ketchum.  His testimony would be vital." Mewtwo paused. "Say something unrelated to our conversation.  You have been silent for too long, and it will draw attention.  I am breaking the link now.  Good luck."

After a moment, Quickie snapped back into focus.  It took another moment for her to collect her thoughts.  She looked to Officer Jenny. "He looks hungry.  He hasn't eaten since breakfast this morning."

Quickie followed, her head bowed.  Quietly, she worked on what message she was going to send.  It would be a very brief apology, but it would be enough.  She just hoped that it wouldn't draw his attention.

On another note, I stumbled across Shadow Pokemon during my random paging.  We could sometime bring in Cipher, or possibly get Team Rocket in on this action, as it'd be right up Giovanni's alley.

Quickie nodded, but didn't look up.  All she could think of was how soundly their defeat would be in court.  Giovanni would have whatever evidence he needed to win, and his high-priced lawyers would make sure of it.  Mewtwo would be confiscated and Quickie would have a blotch on her record, ensuring that she'd never be able to work in Kanto again.  She heaved a sigh, her words muffled. "I don't want to lose him..."

I grew up in the boonies, went camping a lot, and had about three or four square miles mapped out as my own domain.  Then, I moved to the mountains and mapped out another domain.  Then, I moved to the city and didn't really map out any domain, just roamed around when I wasn't in class.  Then, I moved back two miles south of where I grew.  I've been mapping out a new domain.

About the only thing from my own history that I added to Quickie's was the abuse, only a bit more exaggerated.  I ran off several times when I was a kid, but never really ran away from home.  Usually just to some hidey-hole about a couple miles away in either the woods or some field.

"Wily might have more records," Quickie finally spoke up, "he might have more evidence.  He might have records that Mewtwo doesn't already have.  If you can get a hold of Lt. PB, he might have photos or something.  Find him and talk to him, he can corroborate.  Heirophant can corroborate on the Stone Town incident, along with what Carr was doing, and you have him in custody, so the whole of the Route 11 mess can't be entirely blamed on Mewtwo."  She paused.  "Also, talk to James.  He can corroborate the Mount Quena incident.  If you can get him to talk, good.  I know he can't betray his loyalty, as Giovanni signs his paycheck, but if you can get something out of him...  Anything, really.  Anything at all."

Quickie fell silent, and after a moment, she folded her arms on the table and buried her face in them. "We should've never left Saffron..."

I didn't make my 10,000th post count.

As for jailbreak... That's very tempting.  But, Mewtwo's caused enough trouble.  No reason why he can't cause any more trouble and really screw things over.  he's good at that.

Joe meeped as he was shoved in front of Mewtwo. Staring at his narrowed eyes, Joe can't help but feel VERY intimidated. "... E-Eh... H-Hi there-e-e?"

Mewtwo stared hard at Joe as he approached.

"Don't be shy," Lee nodded to Joe, "talk to him."

"We'll hold him down," Kirby added as he forced Mewtwo into a crouch and put him in a headlock. "No one's going to hurt you.  Just relax."

"Just check it over, G," Domino nodded, then looked to the wardens. "You bring anything to control it, with?  Gideon doesn't have much experience with larger Pokemon."

"Yeah, we could tranq him for you, put him in a twilight state," Lee started rummaging in his bag, pulling out a wrapped, prefilled syringe. "Hang onto him."  He unwrapped the syringe and looked to Mewtwo. "I'm just gonna give you a little shot to calm you down, okay?  You might feel a little drowsy, but it won't knock you out.  Just relax, and I'll make this quick..."  He nodded to Kirby.  "Make sure he doesn't round on me."

"I got him," Kirby tightened his grip. "Okay, big guy, eyes on me.  It'll just be a sting, only hurt for a second."

"I'll count it down, okay?" Lee positioned himself at Mewtwo's hip. "One, two, three--" he injected the contents and backed up, "all done.  Good boy, handled that like a pro."

Kirby released Mewtwo from the headlock. "Stay down, as once that hits, you don't want to stand up too fast.  You'll get dizzy.  Just stay down and let these guys look you over, then we'll leave you alone."

Mewtwo glared at Joe and Domino, but said nothing.  

"After we're done with this interrogation, I'll issue another report on the number of recruits authorized in our general patrol," Jenny said, "But right now, our main concern is Mewtwo and its fate in the hands of the organization that is fighting for its ownership."

She stops the recorder to flip the tape over, then presses record again, "We will investigate the incidents in Saffron City to see if it's relevant to Mewtwo's fate.  But as I've stated before, there have been no reports of an increased number of his species, and we don't have the proper information to trust that it can be safely returned to you.  The best we can do is issue a warrant to be involved in any observation and experiment performed by the organization's specialists, and ensure they keep any harmful devices to testing out its attack strength and control.  But until then, we have been advised to keep you and Mewtwo as far from physical contact as possible.  The most you can do is observe it from the window room, but as par protocol, it should not know you're there, and you cannot speak to it until further permission is granted."

Quickie nodded slowly.  She decided to keep her own methods of contacting Mewtwo to herself.  Best to not incriminate him any further by alerting the authorities to any telepathic link.

"He won't surrender quietly," Quickie still didn't look up from the table. "He didn't surrender in Stone Town.  They forced him down.  They had stun batons, and I tried to help him, but they used the same batons on me.  Then, they torched my business.  Wily said that when they had Mewtwo, they had to keep him sedated so that he wouldn't attack anyone."  She finally looked up.  "How do you plan on controlling him?  If he feels that he needs to defend himself, he will."  She also pointed to Taylor.  "And what about her accusations?"

Roleplay / Re: RPM POKEMON ADVENTURE THING

« on: July 28, 2013, 08:19:50 AM »

Jenny compresses her lips in concern, "I'm afraid that, by law, Mewtwo must be returned to the leader of the organization, not the division responsible for creating it.  He invested its study, experiments, and creation, therefore he has more knowledge of what it is capable of, and means of controlling it, than even the scientists assigned to execute the project.  At trial, he will be the most possible candidate to represent the organization that is fighting for Mewtwo's return, and if he wins by evidence alone, he will be the only one that will relieve ownership from you regardless of how much it refuses to cooperate."

She brings her folded fists towards her lower face, but doesn't press it against her lips, "All of the accusations to prove that Mewtwo didn't know what he was doing will only weigh against your right to control it.  You weren't present when the explosion went off, and the accusation of its creator begging him to unleash that powerful Disable spell may easily be chalked up as more 'mind tricks' during the midst of the attack being unleashed.  Ergo, your 'inexperience' during the the two incidents it was caught in will only give the organization more reason to not only rip ownership off your hands, but ensure that it never sets foot in public without their leader firmly clutching whatever means of control he deems necessary to the safety and welfare of the populous."

Quickie bowed her head.  Team Rocket was far too powerful, and they had their hands in the pockets of the entire region.  The trial was going to be a disaster and Mewtwo would be returned to Team Rocket custody posthaste.  "All they'll do is hurt him and his clones.  That's all they've done before.  That's all they'll do again."

"T-Tarot... C-C-ards... TAROT CARDS!?" Officer Jenny broke out into boisterous laughter. "OH GOD PLEASE DON'T STOP!! TAROT CARDS!? A MAN TAKING YOUR FORM!? THIS IS SO PRICELESS!!"

After a few minutes of getting her composure back, Officer Jenny stared hard at Mewtwo. "Now, let's be serious. Are you trying to say MAGIC is involved? Because there's no such thing as magic. Those Pokemon were clearly carrying out your projected orders, and to throw us all off, you clearly used a Shiny projection of yourself. Your fight was all clearly a ruse. All orchestrated... By YOU."

Officer Jenny turned away, but continued speaking to Mewtwo... "Whatever the case, I have my answers now. Your... Trainer and her friends will be brought in for further questioning, that I will assure you. You only have yourself to blame." Facing Domino... "I'm done here. You and your assistant have my jurisdication to find, capture, and examine those strange Pokemon." With that, Officer Jenny left.

It took a lot of energy to resist lunging at Jenny or Domino, but Mewtwo didn't move.  He turned his glare toward Domino and Joe. "If you even dare to touch my clones--"

"You really shouldn't threaten anyone," Lee spoke up.  

Domino nodded. "Sorry, hon, but you're not in any position to be making threats like that.  We're just going to check your friends, make sure they're not diseased.  You, as well.  Guess ya haven't looked in a mirror, lately, but you're not lookin' too hot yourself.  Might just need groomed, hasn't your trainer been taking care of ya?"

Mewtwo narrowed his eyes and didn't dignify that question with a response.

"If you guys want to check him over now, we could handle him for you," Lee nodded.  

Kirby moved closer. "Yeah, he's pretty cooperative.  Just be gentle with him, show that you're not a threat."

Domino shoved Joe forward. "You heard 'em, G."

"Quite easily," Mewtwo nodded. "The impostor had taken my form using tarot cards.  Your forces had taken the man into custody.  Thus, I cannot be blamed for the start of that damage, as it was not caused by myself, and, as I said, you have the man in custody.  The rest of the battle, however..." He trailed off and his demeanor changed. "Those other Pokemon... they were my family.  It angered me that someone had found them and used my form to control them.  And now, they are out in the open!" He snapped his glare to Jenny once more. "Out in the open and in danger!  Controlled by that impostor!  I had to protect them, and I fought to protect them!"

Mewtwo stopped and looked away. "I had allowed my emotions to take charge, something that I promised to keep from happening.  And for that, I am sincerely sorry, as my own actions had put them in even greater danger.  Others know their origins.  Others know that they are clones."

Domino kept her face from showing the smirk as Mewtwo gradually dug the grave for his little friends.  Just need the nails for that coffin, now... "People were worried that they were diseased, so they called us up to check 'em out."
