Bond 5 [@prof.sycamore: Video]

[megabond]

[When the video starts, you can see the Pokemon Professor reading his journal in his bed before he turns his attention to the camera.]

Hello there. I actually need some help on another expedition, although I have to warn you it might be a little dangerous.

As you all know, there is this reality TV show where a young girl of the family owned a pet that originally came from outside the fences. It's been in a rabid demand lately and they want some people to capture the breeding pair of these creatures and bring it back to the Quarantine.

[He even shows the photo of that said creature that he captured from his phone.]

But the main reason I want to take this mission is that I'm practically worried about what kind of creature they have. Not to mention how did they tame a dangerous monster like the one in the show. This won't be easy, but I assure that I may find the truth behind it.

Of course, I'm willing to accept anyone to aid in this expedition. But I have to warn you that it may be dangerous since we don't know what are we dealing with, so if anyone is willing to risk themselves for this mission, just contact me if you can.

Until then, I'll try to prepare for the expedition. But I hope you will join me very soon.

How soon are you talking? I probably won't be able to help until next week, but if you need someone on the Guard to bring you past the wall, count me in.

[He's going to need a break after everything last week.]

[megabond]

I think I would start the exhibition by the 8th or 9th of August. As long it doesn't interrupt the upcoming festival.

[alchemyfreak]

Festival, right.

[Of course this week is going to be another big event, why isn't he surprised? So much for that rest.]

Sounds like good timing to me.

[megabond]

Yeah. That way, we might have time to enjoy them before the expedition.

How are you on combat though?

[alchemyfreak]

[Ed's just going to ignore that enjoy thing and try not to think of ways to skip out on this thing.]

I wouldn't be on the Guard if I didn't have some experience, I spent four years in the military back home and killing monsters was kind of a way of life in the place I was before this one. We had to, to survive.

I kind of had a reputation back home for my skills, if that means anything to you.

[megabond]

[Judging by his tone of his explanation, he realizes how this young man has been through all of his life.]

I see. But as for the killing part, I think we have to hold that off until we know what we are really dealing with. Our mission is to bring back a breeding pair after all.

[alchemyfreak]

It wasn't exactly a great experience, but it was that or starve. Wasn't really too interested in the latter.

[And Izumi had already taught them about hunting to survive. One month on the island, one month in Purg. Monster crabs didn't taste anything like fish and rabbit, but one learned to adjust.]

If we don't need to kill anything, I'd rather not - but if something's dangerous, I can if it comes down to it.

You're really not doing a great job selling this.

Re: [voice]

[megabond]

Well, this is my actual first time on organizing an expedition like this.

Besides, I can't ignore the fact that we're dealing with a mysterious new creature.

[voice]

[500gallontank]

You're either going to scare everyone off or attract the wrong kind of people.

[Guess which one he is.]

Re: [voice]

[megabond]

[He does have a point there. Maybe he'll try to work on these kind of announcements in the near future.]

Well, it is dangerous and I can't just ask anyone to help me without knowing the risks.

Re: [voice]

[500gallontank]

[Frankenstein knows a little about branding. At least, what a bad pitch sounds like. ]

I think anyone can figure anything outside the city is 'dangerous'.

What's your plan for dealing with this 'monster'?

Re: [voice]

[megabond]

I need to know its habitat and what kind does it belong to.

If it's tameable, we may able to catch it very easily. If it's dangerous, I feel there is more to this strange creature's origins.

Either way, I feel killing it as a second option might not be a viable option.

[alkahestic]

Since Brother is going, count me in! And is it true you help people find Pokemon?

[megabond]

Glad to hear that you're on board with this.

And yes, I actually teach an elective night class about it at Riverview University.

[alkahestic]

Of course! If it's with Brother, I'll definitely go. We're a good team.

Brother has a Pokemon already, though. And I've never really gone to school. We did have a teacher growing up, at least. But if I can learn how to get my own Pokemon, I'll be sure to go!

[megabond]

[Come to think of it, he resembles someone he already talked to earlier.]

Really? Who is this brother you always mentioned?

[alkahestic]

Brother is Edward Elric. He's blond and has gold eyes. I don't know what kind of Pokemon he has, just that he has one.

[megabond]

Oh, I did meet him via video feed.

To be honest, he has a good heart for you and everyone else.

[thegreatninja]

Two questions:

[Yuffie holds up two fingers at the screen.]

1. how dangerous?
2. is this anything like catching Chocobo's? cuz if so I'm totally there.

Re: Video | un: Treasure.Princess

[megabond]

Depending on what kind of creature we're facing, it has a chance of risking ourselves into a do-or-die situation.

And sort of. Though it won't be easy than catching them by hand or Poke Ball.

[In fact, he still doesn't know if it's a Pokemon or not.]

Video | un: Treasure.Princess

[thegreatninja]

Sounds like fun!

[Yuffie grins.]

Count me in. I thin if we feed whatever it is then we'll be fine.

[That's her logic anyway.]

Re: Video | un: Treasure.Princess

[megabond]

I'm glad to hear that you're on board.

And... I feel that's not a smart move for you to do when it comes to these creatures...

[thegreatninja]

Why's that?

[megabond]

The creature we're assigned to capture is an unknown monster from outside the walls and we don't know if it's dangerous for us to keep.
