Sixth Bet

[Well, looky here.  After finally outing himself as the fifth police officer with his bit of mischievous fun at the party last week, Grimsley dons the uniform and shines the badge with no little amount of swagger.  He'll be zipping around town in the new vehicle the town was so kind as to lend him - Not a police car, but a police bike.  And

I'm always up for a Pokémon Battle!

[tenebrousking]

Ash from Kanto, was it not? Ah, the eager voice of youth is truly charming...

Might I ask if you've had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Hilda yet?

[10_year_old_kid]

Yeah, we've met. We haven't really had a good chance to get down and battle though...

[tenebrousking]

I suspect yours would be a battle to see. Hilda, of course, is our strongest trainer in Unova at present.

[battymadam]

Well, Sunday sounds just fine to me! Is this Grimsley?

[tenebrousking]

It ... is indeed!

[Well, the voice of an elderly grandmother wasn't quite what he'd been expecting.]

May I have the pleasure of inquiring whom I might be speaking with?

[battymadam]

[grannies play cards too!!]

It's Foster! I replied to your comment the other day. How do you do?

[tenebrousking]

I do quite well, Madame Foster. Truly charmed to know that one never outgrows this most beguiling of games.

[Robots have no laws!!! Rin is driving her roadroller as usual. AKA however she wants to drive.]

[tenebrousking]

[Sirens. So many sirens. And lights! Grimsley's characteristic smug smile stretches wide across his face as he pulls up beside the... bulldozer... thing. Never mind that he could quite easily be crushed.]

[doublerinbow]

[What. Who are you supposed to be? Rin looks unimpressed, but she's not going to crush him... yet]

Got a problem? ♪

[tenebrousking]

A bit. But not as much as the mailbox you crushed just now, I fear.

[April was just walking down the street when the sound of the siren startles her, and she stops to blink at him in surprise and confusion.]

[tenebrousking]

[And Grimsley pulls to a stop right beside her with a charming smile.]

I believe it's traditional to begin by smugly asking you what you've think you've done, but perhaps we can skip that part.

[evers_hacker]

[There's still a look of confusion on her face, though now she's more curious than surprised.]

Ah, I vote we skip that part, since I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything. [Wait, just need to think over that for a minute.]... Yeah, I'm sure I haven't done anything.

[tenebrousking]

I'm afraid you have. You see, you've taken something from me that I value very much, indeed.

Phone

[dancingapricot]

[Weakly:]

Cards, huh? Sounds like fun.

[There's a loud sigh into the receiver. No. She really can't dance around this.]

Grimsley, listen. I'm sorry for what happened at the camp. I don't expect you to forgive me. Or N. But I needed to say it.

[tenebrousking]

Now why in the world is there anything to forgive? Your transgression was against your friend, not me.

[dancingapricot]

You had to see it! And... deal with the body...

[tenebrousking]

...I left it, actually.

As I align myself with the 'Dark', I'm well capable of holding grudges over petty little things. Watching someone turn into zombie isn't one of them. If anything, you must forgive me for my thoughts. Had it been my choice, I would have killed you immediately. While you were still yourself.
