four - (video/action for Goldenrod)

[in_themachine]

[The video turns on, and shows Sissel leaning on a wall. This time, he looks rather pensive, as if he's been thinking about something for a while. His Wailmer is nearby him, and it seemed to have grown the last time he showed it to people- it's about as big as a ship anchor, now.]
You know, there's something I have to tell you guys. It's more of a

And he looks exactly like you. [This is a question.]

video.

[in_themachine]

Yes, exactly like me. Right down to the suit he wears.

[reaffirms]

Hn. You could be him, for all we know.

[in_themachine]

[A shake of the head.]

No, I'm not. He's still in new Bark Town, and I'm in Goldenrod. Also, he only has one Pokemon so far- a Meowth. I have four- a Gastly, a Wailmer, a Skarmory, and a Pidgey.

So, there are quite a few differences between us, despite the same appearance.

Subjective. You could be framing the other one. [Whcih one is 'Sissel' and which one's the 'Manipulator'. For all we know, you could be the dangerous one pretending to be amiable, while he is being framed.

... Doumeki's a good judge of character, though, and he gets the idea that you're hardly lying about this sort of thing. However, he's cautious.]

...

[A small sigh.] Yeah, I can see your point. If you're that concerned about it...then stay away from me too. You'll be better safe than sorry in that way.

[He gives the other a long look. However, because he is honest and doesn't see the point in beating around the bush, he nods.]

Hn. [Moment of eloquence achieved.] Has he possessed people, here?

video.

[in_themachine]

No, he hasn't. It's because everyone loses their powers when they get here. However, even without his powers, I'm still afraid he's dangrous.

video.

[reaffirms]

How so?

video.

[in_themachine]

Well, he's manipulative. I mean, he tends to plan things ahead of time and always expects the unexpected.

Also, he doesn't have any qualms about what he does to people. He even wanted to kill an innocent little girl just because he thought she had something to do with what happened to him.

[Intelligent and ruthless. However, what is that thing that 'happened to him' is probably a trigger of some sort. On the other hand, he doesn't think that asking would do any good at this point. It's just another thing to watch out for in this world.

He nods. The information may not be from a source he necessarily trusts, but information is information and he will keep it in mind and cross-reference it at a later date if he can.]

... I'll keep it in mind.

video.

[in_themachine]

I hope you do.

Oh, and I almost forgot. There's another person here who knows themanipulator. Her name is Lynne. If you have anymore questions, you can direct them to her.

video.

[reaffirms]

[Lynne, huh.]

Hn. [So eloquent. But he'll also keep that in mind. However--]

The other one can also read this.

video.

[in_themachine]

...!

[He hadn't thought of that, actually.]

He can?!

video.

[reaffirms]

[Have a look.]

Anyone can.

video.

[in_themachine]

[Oh. Well. This is bad. Have a worried look.]

Is there a way to make it so that he can't read it?
