1st stylish combo: This party sucks [video/action]

[strawberryredgrave]

(What. The. Hell.

The first thing anyone tuning will see is Dante fiddling with his pokegear, unsure of exactly how to get it to work. He doesn't realize that he actually turned on the video feed, but tosses it over to a green scythed pokemon who fumbles about with it before actually being able to hold it...somehow.

And with the camera following Dante, anyone will see that, while speaking pretty calmly, this guy is pissed off. Kicking the door to Elm's lab open [which didn't get flung off of their hinges, making Dante even more upset], this guy proceeds to antagonize Elm and all of the scientists in there.)

Who the hell taught you guys how to throw a party? Bringing your guests over and stealing all of their shit? You do realize that means I have to kick all of your asses, right?

(And of course, squishy scientists can't fight back, but Dante knows better than to attack them outright. Still, he's punching things and flipping tables to help relieve his anger while his scyther can only watch from a distance. Scary man can be scary.)

So where the hell's all my stuff? Tell me now and I'll make sure to leave you enough teeth to chew.

[[This is one of the more amusing entrances she's seen. She tries to hide a smirk as she watches the scene unfold before answering. Sorry, you don't scare her, she's in an entirely different region right now.]]

It's not really much of a party, and unfortunately for you the men you are interrogating have nothing to do with your appearance and, therefore, your belongings.

(Okay, that couldn't have been the green thing following him around; Dante learned that its speech was pretty limited. Thankfully, it didn't take him long to realize it came from his pokegear.)

I'm just angry about my stuff being gone; my appearance is just fine.

[breedslilacs]

[[A quirk of her brow. That's a first.]] Either way, no matter what you do to those poor men they can't assist you in retrieving your things. If they're not on your person, they remained wherever it is that you came from.

Wail on the labcoats if it makes you feel better, but they don't have your stuff. Six months later and I still don't have mine.

[No one sounds bitter here. Welcome to Johto, Dante.]

[strawberryredgrave]

(If this is Johto, then it sucks. At least he remembers your voice.

He'll just let that scientist he's pulling by the collar drop to the floor.)

That you, Nero? And here I thought everyone was going to be useless. The hell's all this about?

[francia]

[France is rather amused, although his expression manages to be more sympathetic.]

It's a badly planned party, isn't it? And the liquor is bad to boot.

[Video]

[strawberryredgrave]

(That gets Dante's attention immediately.)

What've they done to the alcohol?

[Danny knows that feel all too well, bro. Also he's not showing it, but his first impression of you is completely badass.]

You think that's bad? Try waking up here the day of your big date with your super hot girlfriend. Oh, I hope you didn't have any kind of extra-human abilities or powers, 'cause they're gone now.

Video

[strawberryredgrave]

(This guy totally reeks of badassery...and surprisingly enough, not of Jack Daniels. Not yet, at least.)

I noticed that much. The hell kind of crap did they pull to manage that anyway? I have a lot of stuff to look out for.

[vengefulyears]

You won't be finding your stuff in that lab, so I would advise against causing more damage. It will do you much more harm than good. Whatever it is that you're missing, you won't be getting it back until you leave this place, which you can't do of your own free will.

[Video]

[strawberryredgrave]

(Despite the grim warning, Dante doesn't seem too worried about it.)

Oh yeah? So how the hell do you get out of here?

Video

[darksoulwithlight]

[Oh that's a big ol' familiar lug right there. And there is a lady sitting in what appears to be a Pokémon Center with Hondoom's head resting on her lap as she sips a decidedly pink drink.]

Y'know, I'm a big fan of the whole 'fashionably late' concept but you're taking it too far, Dante.

Video

[strawberryredgrave]

(Oh look, it's Dante's ball and chain office associate. He just might perk up a bit to hear you.)

Well that depends: how late am I? I can always be fashionable regardless.

[havemercy]

Nero's going to be very happy to see you. [ Here's a nice soft and welcoming voice. ] Or very upset. Regardless, I welcome you to Johto.

video;

[strawberryredgrave]

(Oh, she's Nero's girlfriend, right? Dante can't actually remember speaking to her directly, but hey, friend of a friend, right? He'll tone himself down a bit so he doesn't sound so gruff.)

Is that what this place is called? I've never heard of it, but then again, I've never heard of a pokemon either. I guess you're with him, then?

video;

[comeatmibro]

[ Wow, this looks familiar. ]

Dude, chill out. The poor old dudes didn't do it.

video;

[strawberryredgrave]

(Yup; the Devil May Cry crew have a thing for getting their points across with force.

Dante stops mid-table flip to respond.)

And if not them, then who? Is there a ladder of people I need to curbstomp?

[video]

[strategizer]

I doubt this is a party people got invites to. But you're barkin' up the wrong tree dude. Those guys didn't do anything. They just work there.

[video]

[strawberryredgrave]

Yeah? And the Nazis just worked for Hitler. I guess we should send them flowers.

[Video]

[notcrackers]

[Ritz is watching this with most of her team- the assorted crew seems to find Dante's antics quite amusing. Ritz has a crooked smile on.]

Bravo. What a performance. Also, welcome to Johto. Trying to bully the locals won't do you any good, though- they're like characters in a video game, pretty much.

[Video]

[strawberryredgrave]

(That's some serious meta talk given the situation, isn't it? Not like Dante minds; he's no Deadpool, but he pokes fun at everything he can.

Nonetheless, he takes a sarcastic bow.)

I'm so honored to be here. You familiar with this place, then? It's all looking like a bad acid trip.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[... Okay wow she's getting flashbacks to a certain OTHER white-haired lookalike's arrival in Johto.]}

... I love how you see a bunch of dudes in labcoats and your first assumption is 'party'.

_{[Yeah, she knows it was just snark. But still. Those poor scientists.]}

[Video]

[strawberryredgrave]

(That's how the DMC crew rolls, man.)

Hey, with enough alcohol and music, anything can be a party. Problem is there's no alcohol and the music sucks; it's giving me a headache I can fix with a drink, but these guys are holding out. It's like a cycle of "screw with Dante."

(Except it's not really a cycle; you're just going through newbie time, Dante.)

[friendyousohard]

[Dear Celestia what is this she's watching. That "kick open door" thing is usually something she only sees when the guards are coming to take someone in... and that doesn't happen often.]

Okay, in case no one else has told you this, they are not responsible for this! And they don't have whatever it is you're looking for. So threatening them isn't really going to help you.

[strawberryredgrave]

(He's told about this after he's just finished threatening them?

Oh well; gotta get that message across somehow.)

All I'm looking for are my guns, my sword and my power back. Is that really so much to ask for?
