Blake is Terrible: The Plot

[lieutenantantichrist]

Hey Route,

I've been kicking around an idea that Blake should fall back into old psycho asshole habits. Namely, I was thinking he could beat up somebody innocent on suspicion of them having something to do with Emily's disappearance, and then deal with all the fallout from that incredibly bad decision: jail time, the victim's friends being pissed at Blake, Blake's friends being pissed at Blake, etc.

Parker's volunteered to get caught pickpocketing and be the beatee. That brings in another wrinkle, since if it comes out that she's a Rocket, that could give Blake another reason to claim he's justified, and also get all of Team Rocket pissed at him too.

This is just something I'm spitballing right now. Since it'd affect a lot of people, I wanted to toss it out there for opinions first. Thoughts? Feelings? Anybody who'd like to be involved, or specifically not be involved? Would "psycho cop beats up lady" be too dark for a game about pokemon adventures? Tell me what you think!

Anon's on, too.

Yep, he's just a standard run-of-the-mill asshole who doesn't even have a giant sword or magic rocks. Can't even put Rude off his stride.

Yes! That would be awesome. Everybody else is there to yell at him (for good reason) for being a bastard, Rude just wants to play cards.

Morally-grey guys for the win.

I'm not sure how this will work out; is there a certain sequence of events that you would prefer to happen?

Here's the rough idea I have in mind:

-Blake runs into Parker at the National Park, sees her pickpocketing people, confronts her and sees she has a bow that looks like Emily's
-Demands to know where Emily is, Parker has no idea what he's talking about, he thinks she's playing dumb, things escalate and get out of hand until there are fisticuffs
-Blake gets hauled away to Goldenrod Jail by Kangaskhan police, because what the hell, man
-Various fallout, people come by to say what the hell, man

But I'm flexible on just about everything.

Alright, so...Rude would probably be one of the last to drop by to see Carter because he doesn't like to be in crowds that much. He'll probably start with asking Carter how he's doing. Carter's probably going to lash out at him, after which Rude will take out a deck of cards and play a few rounds with Carter, just to give him something else to think about instead of his mistake. Rude's a decent card player but just for this time round he'll let Carter win more than he losses. Rude will then sum up what happened by saying that Carter just lost this time and that he'll win again later.

Sounds good!

[strongestoftheturks]

From what I've been reading, it sounds like Blake's potentially going to get in trouble with a lot of people before the Kangaskhan Police even arrive. If this is true, would you be up for Rude intercepting and trying to mediate the situation?

(Rude. Mediating the situation. Good lord Tseng would be proud.)

Sure! It'd make sense for people in the area to be restraining him, and I'd like him to get stopped before any serious damage happens.
