NINTH DESIRE ☠ VIDEO / PRIVATE MESSAGE
[The video opens to Ryuunosuke sitting in a nondescript room, leaning back in a chair nearly to the point of falling over, with his legs propped up on a desk. Sitting beside him are two Liepards, both of who are watching their trainer curiously.]
Valentine's Day is coming up, isn't it?
[The question is clearly rhetorical, and Ryuunosuke brandishes a rose at the camera, playing with the petals and smirking. He looks a bit unhinged today, but hopefully the dim lighting in the room will make that a bit hard to see.]
How do you celebrate Valentine's Day? I guess I've been pretty unlucky - or lucky, depending on how you look at it; I've never had a girlfriend on Valentine's Day. Seems my timing's always just a bit off.
[He plucks a petal and lets it fall to the ground.]
At least it means I don't have to buy into the holiday commercialism and all that. Though I am pretty fond of chocolate...
[Another petal falls, then he smirks at the camera.]
But that's not really the point. I want to know what you guys have planned for this pointless little holiday. I like hearing how different people celebrate; some of your celebrations are pretty cool.
[A pause. Ryuunosuke lowers the chair back to the ground and cups the rose's petals in both hands before snapping them shut, crushing the flower. He's smiling sweetly, his expression is completely dissonant in comparison to his cold tone.]
Maybe it will be slightly more interesting than everything else in this dull world.
[The video comes in a little while later and Ryuunosuke looks completely bored. He's leaning on the desk this time instead of being propped up on it, and he's doodling something on a piece of paper while he talks.]
I recorded my matches with the elite teams. I'll send them over after this message. What I really wanted to ask you about is jobs. I've been getting restless lately and I just want to do something, you know? So do you have any jobs for me to pull, sir?
[He stops drawing and reaches over to shut off the feed. A moment later, two more videos follow, featuring battles between Ryuunosuke and Morty and Ryuunosuke and Jasmine. The battle against Morty is rather boring; just a crushing defeat where Ryuunosuke's Absol practically sweeps Morty's team on its own. The second video is a clear loss for Ryuunosuke though he doesn't seem bothered by it. Unfortunately, Ryuunosuke was only able to see five of Jasmine's Pok&eacaute;mon before he was wiped out, but that should be a decent idea of her elite team.]

[Well.]
I'm glad to see you so enthusiastic. You'll have some time to prepare; I'll confirm the date with you as soon as possible.

As for the question you were posing to the network earlier, I don't celebrate most of the holidays here; I had never even heard of them back in Amestris. However, I have my own anniversaries that I intend to celebrate rather well here; I'll have to keep you posted with regards to that as well. I imagine you'll like what I have in mind.
For now, focus on Morty; I'll have an assignment for you in Olivine shortly after that goes through, regardless of how well things go in Ecruteak. Providing some...motivation, let's say, for an associate of ours; from his previous work, I suspect he likes the same sort of fun you do. We've given him an assignment; I want you to oversee it.
We'll keep you busy for the next several months; don't worry about that. Understood?

[Horrible pun intended!]
In Olivine, huh? I was actually planning on heading out that way to meet with Reaver - you know him?

Well, we're aware of the new year, so to speak, but we don't have any sort of large celebrations for it - anything done in that regard is rather personal. As for Christmas...no, we don't, though I think that's perhaps a bit more expected - from what I understand, it's a religious holiday? We don't have the same holy figures that you do, and I believe our understanding of God is completely different from yours.
And you've met Reaver, have you? He's actually the one we're sending you after, so that's immensely convenient; I trust you get along with him well enough?
