001 Shot Fired [text; action for Rocket Base]

I'm going to list a series of words.

If they are at all familiar to you please respond otherwise dismiss this.

Cold War
Spetsnaz
Lyndon B. Johnson
Nikita Khrushchev
Tselinoyarsk


[About an hour later on the Rocket frequency:]

My name is Adamska. Code name Ocelot. Call me either. I'm a GRU Major if that means anything to any of you.

I would like to speak with whomever is in charge here.

The Cold War was between Russia and the United States, wasn't it?
artificialrose: (daydreamgalleries) (So I almost died there.)

[Boy does he have some news for you]

Oh my. Well, this may be hard for you to believe, but time behaves very strangely here.

...You may want to check a calendar first before I go on.
artificialrose: (daydreamgalleries) (But I'm still alive.)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-05-05 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Do you need a moment to process that? It must be quite a shock...
artificialrose: (yumis-icons) (Any chance I can buy my dignity)

[Well, if he's sure...]

Well, the place you're at right now is neither America or Russia. It's somewhere else entirely called "Johto". You're not the only one who was suddenly taken from their home- almost everyone you talk to on the PokeGear is the same. But we're all from different places. Some of them seem to be more 'normal' than others, so you may want to keep an open mind.

Not only different places but, as you probably guessed already, different times. It's extremely strange.

[...she knew absolutely nothing about the first post, but Rocket frequency... man, how many people are going to end up in this organization?]

i actually don't know who the actual head of this place is... i mean, i asked, but i never got a clear answer about it either. people just kind of end up here and it doesn't really make sense.
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

[...huh. Now, that's a bit of a blast from the past.

Well, he might as well say something about them, right?]


I'm familiar with all of them but the last one. What is it you'd like to know about them?
artificialrose: (daydreamgalleries) (I mean besides the fact that)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-05-05 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good to hear! Hopefully you'll adapt quickly here, then. It's... not too bad a place to be until you return home. Which is randomly, I'm sad to say and before you ask.

With that out of the way, be sure to take good care of the creature you were given. They'll be very important if you're going to be here.
artificialrose: (daydreamgalleries) (It's... I don't even know.)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-05-05 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering they're going to be the ones who will help protect you while you travel, unfortunately them getting hurt is a bit unavoidable... But that's what the PokeCenters are for. There isn't one in New Bark Town, unfortunately, but the next town over, Cherrygrove, should have one. The nurses there will help your Pokemon recover for free. It's very kind of them.

The books in your bag should tell you everything else you need to know! Of course, I'm more than happy to help if you have any questions they can't answer. Being in a strange place with no idea of what's going on... isn't the most pleasant of experiences. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

[Far be it from Sniper to seek social interaction, but this day has been anything but normal for him. He'll grasp at any familiarity he can find.]

Yeah, I know about the cold war. What's it to you?
zero_charisma: (aim)

[personal profile] zero_charisma 2014-05-05 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No one's gone and shot at each other yet so it doesn't mean much to me. I stay out of politics if I can help it.
zero_charisma: (cant trust those damn spies)

[personal profile] zero_charisma 2014-05-05 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[1972, to be exact.]

It's a hell of a staring contest then. Keeps things interesting, at least. I'm surprised the Americans haven't jumped the gun yet, they've always got to be the hero.

[So would Sniper, to tell the truth. Old boys gotta stick together. Or at at least people from similar time periods, Ocelot's around 10 years his junior.]

That'd be a bloody terrible end to a stand-off. I don't much trust these nukes; give me a rifle and a bullet, and I'll stop anyone in their tracks, clean and simple. These bloody bombs though, they've completely turned the fight into a down right mess. It's like a beast gone feral, that's what it is, and the soldiers on both sides, they're the bloody sheep. Both sides are gonna get it. Damn clumsy way of fighting, if you ask me.

It's no problem. My name is Garry. May I know what to call you?
