[Private Texts]
I demand to know what progress you’ve made on producing the items I requested. Report in as soon as you get this message. I have further instructions for both of you if you are finished.


[With that taken care of, the following message is sent out on the public network, in text of course, since Cobra Commander is still of the opinion that no one knows who he is if he sticks to text.]

I have a question for all of Johto. If someone asked you to pick your favorite place in all of Johto, where would it be?

{OOC: Private texts are related to this. Throwing out the link again in case anyone else is interested in participating.}

'Course! Who wouldn't? Now that the summer's drawing close, it feels like heaven to walk through it. Plus, 's an ice rink completely for free!

[Where is he going with this HE DOESN'T EVEN--]

And c'mon, haven't you heard the news? 'S the most popular place to visit right now! Seems like somewhere deep inside the cave, there's some powerful, legendary Pokémon frozen in ice, waiting to be discovered! Everyone wants to be the first to find and catch it!

[... Crow, April Fools' was two weeks ago.]

[What is he hearing? How could anyone like that place? And legendary Pokemon? Yeah right, all he's ever seen people broadcast is ice, ice, and more ice.]

Is this some sort of joke?

[darkenedgales]

[You have no idea how much of his willpower it takes for him not to burst out laughing in front of the camera right now.]

Wha-- 'Course not! Why would I joke 'bout that?

[NO SERIOUSLY. Just look at this completely genuine surprise and confusion!]

[Well, that face looks serious enough, but he's having a hard time buying this.]

Because no one likes the Ice Path.

'S what you say. [Idiot.] But a little bird told me otherwise!

[...wow okay that was a terrible pun. MOVING ON.]

Why are you asking, anyway? Looking for a place to go for holidays?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[He needs to think of a reason. Quick. One that could never be tied to Cobra Commander.]

No. I'm collecting information. For a guidebook.

[Laaameee.]

... Shouldn't you be the one telling us what we should see, not the other way round?

[Well doesn't he sound sooo smug.]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Crap. Time to come up with some more lies.]

It's a guide to the most popular locations according to the people of Johto.

[darkenedgales]

Uh-huh. Cool. [He doesn't buy it, of course, but fine, let's play along with this.] Looking forward to seeing it in bookstores!

So, what's your favorite place...? [It's very likely he'll just lie again, but if there's a slim chance of perhaps getting a clue to where the jerk's hiding, then Crow will take it.]

My favorite place? That's a good question. I'd have to say Mahogany Town. It has that quiet out of the way small town feel.

[Making it the perfect place to hide a secret base. Too bad some people had to ruin that a while back.]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[Not sorry.]

Mahogany, you say... [He lets out a thoughtful hum.]

... 'S where you go to write your book in peace and quiet?

[What is this subtlety you speak of.]

[Text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Maybe. I haven't decided where I'm going to do that yet.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Be sure to lemme know! I've been everywhere in Johto already, I can tell ya 'bout some nice places.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.
