003 Video
[Looks like Leon's hit the road again. The video shows him with sitting down with his back leaning back on a tree, as he practices a few simple chords on the guitar. It...looks like there's some improvement since his last video; at least he can play the simplest chord progression without error.
He strums the guitar idly, almost seemingly lost in thought before he turns to the gear and properly addresses it.]
Well it's been a great week. And by great, I mean fucking terrible. A friend woke up from one of those comas and went completely nuts because his brother died back home, and of course I had to suggest to him that he should go hang out with said brother to feel better because I didn't know what had happened. And then I pissed off the heir to the biggest and most dangerous yakuza families from my home. He's probably searching for me right now so if you see my body floatin' in the river you'll know why.
I also got fired from work 'cause I yelled at a customer but I was jus' so wound up from everythin' that happened that I jus' didn't have any fucks left to give, so if you're the one I yelled at then sorry, but you really have no business bein' a Pokemon trainer if you can't tell the difference between an Antidote and a Burn Heal. Damn things are already colour-coded, and there's a no refund policy so don't come crying to me.
So yeah. All in all it's been shit. Real shit. Just can't catch a break, can I?
Anyway, if you're watchin' this and if you're not too bored or busy...tell me somethin' funny. Or somethin' interestin'. Somethin' that makes you happy. I don't care, just...somethin' that'll be a break from this fuckin' week 'cause I am just done.
[Leon's just about to switch off the Gear, when he suddenly remembers.]
Oh yeah to everyone back at the house, sorry I forgot to leave a note but I'm leavin' for a few days, maybe weeks. Lemme know if ya need me for anythin', but other wise I'm gonna go an' grab some badges. Might be back by March. Will let you know.

If you got one, then sure go ahead. I can't promise I'll laugh though.
no subject
[Forget it. That's what he's out here to do, isn't it? And because the dog had been whining and pawing his knee, going arc arc arc.]
Okay. So this once. The station keeps getting calls from this old lady, real worked up about something. She's saying somebody's after her. We finally get her to give some details, and you know what she says it is?
A laser assassin.
no subject
[Because Leon really doesn't want to think otherwise.]
...the fuck? Why?
no subject
[He leans one elbow on his knee as he gets into the story.]
No fuckin' idea, but she cared enough to come by in person. Little old lady. She said they'd been after her for years, and all her wrinkles came from laser radiation. Said she used to be an "apple-cheeked German girl." Now, my way of thinking is if these guys have been trying to kill her with lasers for years and only made her older, they're not real good at it, but who am I to tell them how to do their job?
Christ, she wouldn't leave us alone. She kept demanding something she called an "air shield." The weirdest part was, she said she'd gotten it from us before. It started to come together when she told us she'd always talked to the same guy. He'd retired not long ago. So we called him up, and it turned out what he'd been doing was, when she called to freak out about crazy bullshit, what he did was he made some beep-boop-beep noises and he said, "There you go, ma'am, got your air shield all set up."
Oh, but so then she still won't leave us alone, so some other guy gets a bright idea. He says lady, you say you're hanging around Chestnut Hill? That's an affluent area. Around there, these rich guys, they got their own municipal air shield already.
She looks him in the eye and she says, "Mister, that's the craziest thing I ever heard."
no subject
That poor ol'lady. S'nice of you guys to try an' play along with her though.
no subject
We were trying to get her to leave us the hell alone. We ended up having to threaten to arrest her for nuisance calls. You wouldn't believe the kind of crap people call the police over.
no subject
no subject
I've been trying to figure out the deal with them the whole time. I figure it's plastic surgery or something.
no subject
Anyway I don't think it really matters. S'least they do their best to look out for us.
no subject
"Their best" ain't much. What kind of criminals do you think a slap on the wrist and community service is gonna keep down? The real son of bitches don't stop til they're locked up or dead.
no subject
[There's not much venom in Leon's tone; he sounds less angry and rude, and just more disgusted.]
Well if ya think about it, this whole place used to be a kid's game. What kinda punishments do you think they'd have?
no subject
It was made for kids, but they're sure as hell not the only ones here now. Of course assholes are gonna abuse it, it's what assholes do. They're lucky they've never had a serial killer running around.
no subject
I don't think Nintendo would've given the Jennys guns either. That's PG13. But nothin' really bad has happened yet though, an' none of us can die so...maybe that's why no one bothered to kill anyone here. I dunno, I don't really wanna think about it...
no subject
That's probably the smarter thing to do about a lot of shit around here. Don't think about it too much.
no subject
No need to tell me twice. I don't wanna accidentally break the place either. This shit week aside, it's been pretty chill here. It ain't perfect but I like livin' here.
no subject
Blake looks around, like there's something real interesting above him. It takes a minute to admit.] There's worse places.
no subject
[Did you think Leon was going to let up?]
You have no idea. Compared to where I was before, this place is paradise. Here's to hopin' I never leave.
no subject
[Blake's the kind of guy who functions best with opposition. He tends to be secretly disappointed when people back down.
The implications of some things he's talked about sink in.]
Where you were before...same place as Isshymaroo, huh.
no subject
Yeah. How much did Ishimaru tell you?
no subject
His face clouds.] He told me there was a serial killer kidnapping kids.
no subject
[ Ah, the joys of teasing crusty old guys. Especially if they're authority figures.]
That's...yeah, that's about right. Some sick witch kidnapped us.
no subject
[It's tough to put a lot of heart into it.
He looks sharply at the screen.] 'Witch?'
[His fingers clutch tight around the phone and he hauls it closer to his face. If it's a woman, and this kid knows it, he must know something about the killer's identity.] How much do you know about the killer? Talk, kid!
no subject
That's none of your god damn business! If Ishimaru didn't tell you, then I'm not goin' to either.
no subject
I don't care if it's another fuckin' universe, this is important! Who are you protecting?!
Locked
...Ishimaru's from before we find out who's behind it. An' even if he knew I sure as hell hope he doesn't tell you . This is private stuff, and I'm sure as hell not gonna discuss it with someone I've just met. 'Specially if he pisses me off.
