--Yeah, yeah. I know that already.
[It would seem that Union was being treated to a fragmented conversation that the feed had suddenly started right in the middle of. No faces could be seen on screen yet, save for a gloved hand and the hemline of a white jacket. Off screen, a stern, feminine voice could be heard delivering a severe reminder about all of the paperwork that should have been done weeks ago, and how it was irresponsible of him to not have introduced himself to the rest of the community yet.
The owner of the gloved hand could be heard chuckling.]
And my family'd be ashamed of me too, right? [Then, the feed started to move as he continued in a more brisk tone.] Don't worry 'bout it, okay? I'm working on it right now. C'mon, J.
[But what about the--
The voice was promptly cut off by the sound of a door clicking shut, followed by a sigh. Then, the face of a young man with brilliant green eyes came fully into view on the feed. He offered an apologetic smile for the audience.]
Sorry about that. Some girls can really be demanding.
[There was a subtle rumble that was suddenly audible on the feed-- those who understood Pokespeak would recognize it as a quiet reminder from someone off screen. 'Daisuke. You're stalling.']
What? J, not you too!
[The blond at least had the foresight now to share the screen with his pokemon-- an inscrutable looking Beldum who was strangely clad in a brimmed hat and scarf. The humming continued. 'A man shouldn't try the patience of his coworkers or his audience.'
Daisuke sighed-- and actively closed out the feed.]
Action
[Later, people wandering through the downtown might find a slender blond man in a crisp white jacket hanging around the streetside food stands near the theater, nonchalantly scarfing down a bowl of noodles as if he had all the time in the world. But, don't let the ease of his manner fool you-- he's definitely paying attention to what's happening around him.
As for the rather fashionable Beldum? He's hanging around...somewhere. Daisuke isn't sure, but he suspects that the Beldum has taken to visiting the theater for reasons that only he would know.]

Action
Well. I've been told by many I'm a fantastic busybody. I can fight. I'm also pretty strong so I could do any kind of manual labor if someone's looking for a packmule.
Action
How do you feel about humanitarian efforts, then?
Action
[Very curious look. He's interested. Please go on.]
Action
[He smiled, and stirred around the noodles in his bowl with his chopsticks.]
There's currently a project going on to build a...sort of safe haven for refugees. [...That, honestly, was the cleanest way to describe the construction of the facility for the Enhanced who had come to their city in recent weeks.] Some of them are ill, and they've all been through more than their fair share of crap. Honestly, it'll be better for all of us if it's done sooner rather than later, so they'll take any set of hands they can get.
Action
[A facility for the Enhanced. He's not sure how he feels about it. One part of him is happy for the idea that people like him might be able to get help, the other part of him is apprehensive that this isn't at all what it says it is.]
[Though, with this job, maybe he can find out. It puts him awfully close to something he's wanted to stay the hell away from, but at the same time, if there's a chance this is unsavory, he's one of the few with the means to do something about it.
[He slides a glance to Daisuke.]
Sounds promising. Where are they putting it?
Action
He met that gaze-- and jerked a thumb over his shoulder.]
I can take you there when we're done. That'll make it easier.
Action
Name's Hayato by the way, what's yours?
Action
[He said it with a comfortable grin. It was always more comfortable talking to someone without the weight of a long standing reputation hanging over both of their heads.]
Action
[He slurps some noodles.]
So, what was all the hubub I keep hearing about? It sounds like something pretty big happened here in the city recently that has everyone talking so much.
Action
Did you honestly miss the entire mess that happened at the end of last month?
Action
I've missed a lot of everything in the past several months. My last job put me out of commission for a while. I've heard bits and pieces but I haven't gotten the whole story, yet.
Action
Ah. No wonder you're travelling and need to start over.
[He shifted in his seat, getting more comfortable. This....could take a while.]
...You've heard about those guys that are attacking cities all over, haven't you? Gigas. That's what they're called.
[That was the best place to start, considering that he didn't know where this man had travelled in from. For all he knew, the stranger was from some hidden village south of the archipelago.]
Action
Yeah. I was a photographer for the Calderan war with Gigas.
[Aka that was the job that put him out of commission.]
Action
--That makes this a little easier, since you know about them.
[Although, it really wasn't much easier. His stomach tied itself into knots when he thought of the crimes that those guys had committed against humanity.]
They were kinda involved in that nasty mess you keep hearing about. It wasn't them directly, it was a consequence of their actions.
Bottom line is that a handful of people got out of their custody....and, well, the people in this city can't turn away a hurt Lilipup. We're fixing up a place for them to stay here in the city, and I'm guessing we'll just deal with any problems that come up on a case by case basis.
Action
So, they're out of Gigas' custody entirely? Is the city of Union really going to let them live their lives in peace?
Action
Action
That'll be good, then. No one deserves to be treated like a weapon.
Action
Daisuke hadn't stated that the people who escaped were actively involved in the mess that overtook the entire region. Unless Hayato had picked it up from discussons on the streets, which made the truth no secret, then there was no way that he could have known that much. Unless...
No. He wasn't going to make any assumptions.]
No, they don't. [He replied, digging into his noodles once again.] People deserve to be treated like people. It's basic rights.
Re: Action
[Hayato didn't even realize he may have given himself away. He had heard the chatter on the streets so he'd assumed people had known. That'll probably come back to bite him later. For now he blinks as Goro pokes at him.]
Eh?
[Goro shoves his bowl at him. He's still hungry!! Sigh, child you will eat him out of house and home.]
Here, you can have the rest of mine.
Action
...The little pokemon was an excellent distraction.]
Looks like you've got your hands full with that little one. Did you two meet recently?
Action
[Remarkably well, but this is an instance of Hayato misjudging how much he knew and how much he should. Either way, this should play out interestingly.]
He's a scrappy little squirt for sure. I caught him trying to protect another pokemon from something much bigger than him. I never fancied myself a trainer but I guess there's a first time for everything.
Action
Action
[That sure was a curious thing.]
