[treasurehunts]

[The feed clicks on to a pirate sitting cross-legged with a child on his lap. Surely neither of those two looks familiar. Nope. Not at all.

But the lunateclock is quiet, hands in his lap and peering up at the treasurehunted instead of paying any attention to the camera at the moment.

Motochika, on the other hand, is... actually not that attentive as he looks to the camera with a slight frown. Tilting his head, he almost yawns--]

Alright, I'm gonna say my piece once and once alone. Somebody went and thought it'd be a bright idea to abduct the Little Demon of Shikoku. I'll go ahead and applaud ya for gettin' this far, but there's hell t'pay for it! Bring me back home before I get real angry! Tch. I'm pretty pissed as is.

How 'bout you, Minato? 'cept yer not allowed to use the word I just used. [and he spares the time to glance down at Minato

The child's insta-reaction is to nod! But then he pauses mid nod and thinks about it for a moment. Angry...? No, he's not really angry. So have a quiet shake of his head instead. :O]

You're not helping me at all, kiddo. [sigh. he's cracking his neck once before wrapping an arm around Minato to keep a hold on him before changing the angle of the SFC.]  By the way, I found 'im by the mutated coral- ... which you should probably get looked at before it turns into a problem, y'know.

Anyway. Let me know if he's yours? I mean, I won't give him up to anyone - what kind of ass treats a child so lightly like that? But if ya can help me find his guardians, I'd appreciate it. 'til then, he's in the custody of Chosokabe Motochika and I'll keep 'im safe 'til his folks claim him. [Resting his chin on top of Minato's head-] Is that cool with you, Minato?

[Oh. There's a chin on his head. guess that means he has to talk. It's quiet, but hey, the kid has a voice!]

...Kay.

Hah! [His arm retracts as he ruffles Minato's hair with a big grin. Then he nods at the SFC.] There! Ya heard it yerself. I've got dibs until one of ya proves yerself to me, alright? Or you can just hand over the map to the exit and we'll be on our way and I'll find his home myself. Up to you!

[ooc: Motochika & Minato have both been aged down to 17 and 6, respectively! teeniki & hideallnoise might be used to do some tagging, too. You'll get separate threads with them but Motochika might choose to intervene to be over-protective. (Also chances of Motochika letting go of Minato are slim. Like. So slim they're non-existent. Be careful, he's not against biting.)]

VID FOREVER.

[Have another kid! this one older than Minato, but still a kid! (he's 12!)] You're a real demon? And what's Shikoku? Is that a region like Kanto and Johto?

[teeniki.livejournal.com]

You can bet I'm a real demon. [toothy grin to match!]

But Shikoku's my island, kid. How educated of a runt are ya?

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

Hey! I go to an elite school in Virdian and daddy only has the best tutors in everything for private lessons. [...That? Is the look of a rich kid/brat who thinks he has the world at his feet.]

--You own an island? Is your dad someone really important too?

[teeniki.livejournal.com]

[Raising an eyebrow there before scoffing.] Oh. So I'm in the presence of a fancy pants?

Well I ain't ridin' on the coat tails of my father anymore, kid. Though he did start the work I plan on finishin'.

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

Duh. My dad's super important back home. [He doesn't look that impressed with the scoff, but lets it pass for now. He does have manners and it;s not polite to be too rude on first meeting. That and maybe this moron can help him.] But he's not here. I can't find him anyway and if I've been kidnapped, dad will make sure heads roll for this!

What work?

[teeniki.livejournal.com]

... "super important". Tch. Well don't you sound like a first-class runt? What're ya gonna do then, kid? Whine and complain 'til Dad drops in and picks you up?

Conquerin' the land obviously. Some territory under my belt but the rest of it's gonna be all mine in a year or two.

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

My name is Silver, not runt. [....] I dunno. None of dad's inner circle's here either. And I dunno if dad's enemies are here...[In other words, he's lost on what to do. That he knows his dad's got enemies means he's smarter than he's acting. Because really, don't most twelve year olds only think about fun and stuff? Then again, growing up around TR didn't give him a normal childhood... ]

Why would you conquer the land?

[teeniki.livejournal.com]

.... Enemies, huh? Well alright. Nice to meet'cha, Silver. Call me Motochika. You doin' okay around here?

Because some asses are hurtin' the people, obviously.

...this is why I dont tag after 1 am my time. html is screwy X__X

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

Yea, I guess. I got pokemon that I don't remember having but mine is missing. [:(] I guess the other stupid things are OK though. As long as they obey me, I don't care.

So.. you're going to beat them up?

[teeniki.livejournal.com]

... huh. That your mentality about the things that follow ya? Ya don't care 'bout 'em?

If someone's hurtin' someone else, they deserve to hurt. S'how it works. Most of the time.

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

I would feed them and stuff, but if they don't obey the master - me -, then they're worthless in battle. Anyway, it's what they are used for; fighting other pokemon. It's always been that way. [.....And a 12 year old has command of them. :|]

Hahaha you're cool. Can I keep you?

[teeniki.livejournal.com]

.... well I don't like it that way. Better go and change it, tyke.

Who'll be keepin' who, brat?

There are no pics of him smile as a 12 yo. Only this. :(

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

Me, duh. You're my friend now so I get to keep you.

[TOTALLY IGNORING THE FIRST PART FTW.]

[hideallnoise.livejournal.com]

[...???

...

...]

Um...

[You're kinda scary but your hair sure is bright...]

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

[DUH! He's got be scary as one day, he's going to be the boss of the Rockets!]

Um what?

[hideallnoise.livejournal.com]

[Sob he doesn't want you to be scary...

...

...um.]

...Hi.

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

You're Minato, right? [Then be his friend. He'll only boss you around.]

What's your favourite pokemon?

[hideallnoise.livejournal.com]

[Nod! That's him, yep.

Er but...]

What's a...

[Insert concentration here.]

Pokey...man?

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

[..And cue an incredulous look.] What do you mean? You've-- how can you not know what a pokemon is?

[Seriously, Silver knew what a pokemon was before he could even walk or talk. To think of someone not knowing that is - is-

Is nigh unthinkable.] Oh whatever. Here, this is a pokemon.

[Cue his Sneasel being shown. It, like most of Silver's other pokemon when out of pokeballs, is linefacing; gdi Vatheon, what did you do to their Master?]

[hideallnoise.livejournal.com]

[Oh.

Was that wrong? ;;;

Either way, he stares at the sneasel a moment.]

...It's like a cat.

[Sure Minato. Whatever you say.]

[beforeistole.livejournal.com]

No, it's a Sneasel. It's a Dark Ice type of pokemon. It's one of my faves, though it's mostly found in Johto.

[hideallnoise.livejournal.com]

[......????]

...Okay.

It's different. But it doesn't look bad.
