ROCKET PLOT? IN -MY- GAME? IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK.

[these_balls]

It’s early in Mahogany.

The sun is only just creeping over the evergreens that surround the little town at the base of the mountains-it hasn’t even yet started to dispel the wispy fog that drifts between the buildings.

Not, of course, that any of the Rocket grunts can see that from their rooms deep underground.

Most of them have had it pretty good the

[Cobra Commander cackles. And cackles. And cackles some more.]

Finally, finally after months of hard work, I have been adequately rewarded!

[He takes a moment to compose himself. This had been a long time coming and even though his response was short, he wanted to savor every second of it.]

From this moment until the end of the time, with the exception of our bosses and my fellow officer, you will call me...Commander. This is no longer optional. Do not disappoint me, Grunts.

[And then almost as an after thought]

Or Team Rocket.

[oxidegreen]

...Understood, Commander.

[serpensrex]

[The sound of obedience is like music to his ears.]

Good, remember to obey every command I issue, and we'll get along fine.

[oxidegreen]

I will do my best.

[Asmo had, surprisingly, taken most of the verbal abuse in stride. She was used to dishing it out worse herself, after all, and in the grand scheme of things, she didn't think these guys were so tough. annoying... yes. but not tough.

the first few times they had yelled at her she had retorted with threats of her own. I'll kill you, you know... you won't know what hit you ♥, but that didn't seem to have much of an effect at all. so she ad backed off and decided to ignore it while she waited for their rescue to come.

right now, she was curled up in a corner of the room, head tilted back and pigtails hanging long and ragged (she hadn't bathed or brushed her hair in days) over her shoulders]

They're taking too long... [she mumbled, before she sighed and rested her chin on her knees] To slooooow.

[Zuko, on the other hand, was stubborn... bull headed. He refused to do anything that would get someone else hurt, but his pride prevented him from taking anything sitting down. He kept his head up, and an even glare at anyone who said anything to him, reacting in turn when something hit hard.

It didn't help that taunts of "traitor" were a sore spot for him... a personal trigger.

But there was no amount of physical pain that could have put up with his own father's scarring. There was nothing that could be said that could wound him more than his own actions. This, he thought, was the price he paid for honor.

... and so he bore it with pride.

But there were others involved. And Asmo, who didn't look like she'd ever been through anything like this before, who had teased him that first time, who he'd taken a strange liking to.

He rolled his eyes at her.]

This wasn't a weekend vacation, you know? We could be here a lot longer before they decide to do something with us.

[Asmo let out a small pout as she leaned back against the wall, stretching her scantily clad legs out in front of her]

I don't want to be here anymore! I want Mammon-nee to come rescue us already!

[prison action]

[hitbyrecoil]

... Look, I know you want to get out. [He's trying as hard as he can to be patient.] But the fact is, we're not going to get out of here by waiting for someone else to get here. This is our problem and we're going to have to deal with it on our own.

Prisoner Suggestion!

[combat_butler]

I have no idea what is already planned obviously, BUT just thought I could suggest something for those in there already;

Like if the people they imprisoned REALLY REALLY hate the whole Rocket shtick, they could maybe receive a ~*~ultimatum~* to either serve loyally or be exiled from the group and branded a traitor for good and publicly put out as a Rocket or something?

Like oops if you refuse to serve you are getting all memories of Rocket info wiped from your mind by a Hypno and being dumped in another town (Ecruteak?? it's a mountain away after all) with half of your shit missing?? idk JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE? since I cannot imagine there being a way some of the prisoners would be willing to ever do their dirty work |D

Re: Prisoner Suggestion!

[subvertio]

We totally likey that idea :> We're going to add it to the discussion post about prisoners we're writing up right now /o/

[redcinematics]

[What. What. After all these months, not even a promotion? Well, she can live with that, she's used to being on the lower links of the food chain...and for the same reasons, actually. But what she cannot get over is having to work under the Commander.

Yeah, she mad.

But she will throw something later. Because really, it's not very ladylike to throw a tantrum in front of others, especially those dashing admins.]

[serpensrex]

Hello, subordinate.

[Cobra Commander cannot fathom Grell being promoted or at least not promoted to the same rank.]

Happy with your evaluation?

[redcinematics]

[Grell simply stares at the Commander. It's an "oh my god get out of my life" stare.]

[serpensrex]

I'll take that as a no.

Oh well, not all of us can be promoted. Only those who showcase excellence and the ability to lead.

Prison action!

[mineisanevillol]

[She's pounding on the door

and yelling

and won't stop yelling. Man why can't she just turn into a gun this would make things so much easier.]

Prison action!

[captain_pantsu]

[Oh my god you're giving him a headache.]

Knock that off already! It's not like they're gonna answer.

Prison action!

Don't waste your energy. You might need it.
