Excuse me!

[ A man with a long white ponytail and an immaculately tailored (though unusually green) suit graces your PokéGear screen this morning. He appears rather put out, for some reason. ]

I demand to know who is in charge here! I ask that you kindly return me to where I came from! I'm a very busy man, and I don't appreciate being... kidnapped, or whatever it is you've done to me!

[ He pauses, takes a breath, and smooths down the front of his suit. ]

Whoever you are, it is in your best interest to release me before my employees get here. [ His lip curls. ] And if you were going to go so far as to provide me with clothes, you might at least have made them a bit more fashionable. How you expected me to wear those rags...

[ Having said his piece, he reaches for the Gear, presumably to turn it off, when a long green snout comes abruptly into view, sniffing inquisitively. His Snivy's curious about the lighty box, it seems. ]

Ah, yes - and if someone could elucidate me as to what exactly these... creatures are, it would be most appreciated. At least this one seems to have good sense, for the most part - stop smelling that!

[ The Snivy straightens up, trying to look dignified. This is the sort of Snivy who would never think of sticking his face all over a PokéGear. What would make you think that? ]

[ The man, for his part, turns back to the camera. ] If you can provide me with some answers as to what's going on in this place, I will see to it that you are handsomely rewarded. The sooner, the better.

[ And the feed shuts off. ]

[ Any Rockets hanging around the base, feel free to bug Valmont if you run into him in the hallway! You'll recognize him. He's the one in very non-regulation green and a foul mood. ]

[ Oh, no you didn't, Nui. No you did not. ]

Excuse me?! This suit is the height of fashion! Though I wouldn't expect you to know anything about that, what with that frilly monstrosity you've got on!

[ It is on. ]

[...Well. It's been a long time since she was asked to kill someone, and even longer since someone asked her to kill THEMSELVES, but that's totally what just happened.]

Whoever told you THAT was fashionable must have been colorblind on top of being stupid. It looks like a lime mated with some cheap Gucci knockoff.

Wh - cheap knockoff?! How dare you! My clothes are always top of the line!

Not that you have any room to talk. Aren't you a little old to be playing Ballerina Barbie? Not to mention that atrocious hairstyle, and that horrifically gaudy eyepatch. [ He scoffs. ] You might have at least made that pink too. Not that it would have much helped, of course...

That's the kind of thing that amateur hacks do! You need some variation or complementing colors to make the main outfit stand out more!

[And she would much rather look like a Barbie doll than a Kermit the Frog cosplayer.]

~~[Bro do you even fashion.]~~

You should thank me! There are people who would pay thousands for my advice!

Yes, well, you've certainly accomplished the goal of standing out, I see.

[ He thinks he fashions, okay. Leave the poor man alone. ]

I don't know what kind of sorely misguided people those are, but if I were they, I'd demand my money back! Why one would care about fashion advice from a twelve-year-old in the first place, of course, I'm sure I don't know.

I should think that the major fashion houses of Paris would understand how to make their money useful a little better than a pile of neon-puke trash!

[Nui makes an annoyed 'tsk' sound.]

And now comments about a lady's age! You really are the lowest scum, aren't you?!

[Please Valmont, she is at LEAST fourteen.]

Major fashion houses? Now you're just making things up. I've just got done accepting that a person with the name "Vanellope von Schweetz" exists. There are only so many impossible things I can be expected to believe in one day, you know.

And I'm sure I would be some sort of scum, if there were anything resembling a lady in this conversation. [ Yeah, he's using that one. ]

The only thing I need to make up us what to do with your corpse once I'm done with it!

[Yeah, she's... pretty much past the point of wit by now. So you get screaming rage instead. Aren't you lucky?]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, I can't imagine why I expected some jumped up little guttersnipe to have TASTE.

Little?! I'm bigger than you! [ Aaand he's at the point of NO U-level comebacks. Yes, Valmont, why don't you go ahead and impugn her height too. That'll go over well. ]

And I am not a guttersnipe! I'll have you know I come from an extremely high-class background! Higher-class than yours, surely!

How dare you! NO ONE us higher than Lady Ragyo! She groomed me for the world of haute couture herself!

[Because people here know who that is. ~~Nui plz.~~]

Where exactly did you come from, then?!

[ He raises an eyebrow. ] Lady who? I'm afraid I haven't heard the name. Is she meant to be someone particularly important?

Not that it's any of your business, but I'm from a very upper-class family, and I happen to be fabulously wealthy. [ Or, well. Used to be. Details. ] I can't imagine your background is quite so illustrious.

Lady Ragyo Kiryuin!

[Yes, you should know who she is. Yes, even if you're from another universe. Because shut up is why.]

Head of the largest textile and clothing company in the world! She personally selected me for the position of Grand Couturier!

Ragyo Kiryuin... [ He makes a great show of tilting his head in thought. ] Mm, can't say I've ever heard of her. She must be rather more minor in the fashion world than you seem to think. Which, I suppose, would make you as her employee worth virtually nothing.
