Live from Council Chambers to your televisions it's a breaking news update

[Union has always had a strong radio culture. Radio is how you get your news. Radio is how you get your entertainment. Always before, radio was king.

But today, for the first time ever, Union citizens tuned in not only to their radios, but to their televisions, newly acquired and quickly mass produced from Team Evolution technology. The flicker of black and white images was beamed into every household, and it was the image of a councilor, rotund, his face flushed with anger and embarassment, and naked as the day he was born, save for a towel he was hastily trying to cover his immense girth with.

It wasn't a pretty sight.

As reporters swarmed the man he beat them off as some beleaguered Swords of the Savior formed a human wall to get him safely into the council chamber, where he would stay for the next hour. During this time, reporters stood outside, speculating. Was this a scandal? Some grave infidelity? A councilor caught in a compromising position?

Finally, the same councilor emerged to a rush of journalists. Standing at a podium, he began to speak]

People of Union, I come today with grave news. There are few among you who may know, but we recently identified several caravans between Union and Caldera that are missing. At first, we thought they may have run into trouble with Wild Pokemon or the weather, but our search parties have failed to rendezvous with them. They did, however, find some signs of battle, we suspect they were taken somewhere. Thankfully, no bodies were found, and I can only hope and pray that our people remain safe.

Today, while I was outside of Union’s borders, I came under attack! The thieves took me from behind, and they stripped me of all my clothing and worldly possessions. We have had word of other such attacks within the past several hours as well.

People of Union, it seems we once again have come up against a threat to our fair city. But this time, they strike at us from the shadows. The Council is organizing a search party immediately. The caravan was last in contact near the grassy plains to the northeast, the search parties will be dispatched to that area first to look for any sign of our people. In the meantime, we implore you, do not leave the city alone! Everyone should travel in groups whenever possible, and make sure at least a few people know how to fight. We cannot afford to lose any of our precious citizens to these thieving miscreants! They… they took everything! Everything!

[The man begins sobbing quietly before two Swords of the Savior lead him back into the council chamber. The press begin to swarm the door but they are held back. The news feed will continue into the night, but the council isn’t saying anything more, at least not yet]

So let me get this straight. Not only are they a bunch of thieves, but they're kidnapping people. We need to go out there right now and find them before something terrible happens to them.

[Who knows what could happen. Goku doesn't want to find out, he'd rather save those people.]

[Gouken is the first actual responder to this reply, not Yuuna. The Hitmomchan peers at the feed and pounds his gloves together, nodding in affirmative. He remembers Goku as the cool guy that fought him, and let him fight Machop to make him stronger, so...props.

Yuuna sees this and appears a moment later, resting her arm on the fighting type's shoulder and grinning.]


Well, I can't disagree with that, Goku. And neither can Gouken. These guys are creeps.
garbagedisposal: (Alright!)

[Oh, he remembers Hitmonchan!]

Heeeey, Gouken! How'ya doing? And hey, Yuuna. They sure are, and who knows what's happening to them right now. I'm heading out right away.
rainsrespite: (Petulent)

[Hitmonchan growls noncommittally, an affirmation that he's doing okay.]

Yeah? You're heading to the plains?
garbagedisposal: (Well no it's not like that exactly)

[video]

[personal profile] garbagedisposal 2014-07-23 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [He nods.] I'm afraid if we wait around much longer, more people might suffer- and I'm not sure exactly what's going on. I'd hate it if anyone else had to find out.

[The longer they wait, the more people might be attacked, and what if they're killing those people?]

[Yuuna's jaw sets, hand reflexively resting on the hilt of her sword.]

Then I'll see you soon. Let's team up and put a stop to what we can.
