💀 TEAM SKULL SHENANIGANS (OPEN) 💀
WHO: Team Skull (Guzma & Tupp) & YOU!
WHERE: Around Maurtia Falls
WHEN: Throughout September
WHAT: Team Skull causing problems through Maurtia Falls like the hooligans they are!
WARNINGS: Swearing, alcohol, probably violence? Will update as needed.
[Throughout the month of September (how convenient that the first half of it has a monster keeping things busy in De Chima), Team Skull will be picking up in activity. With a decently large number of hooligan teens in their ranks, they can spread out and cover a good deal of Maurtia Falls. Doesn't help that these punks got themselves motorcycles and mopeds to get their asses around quickly, or to make for quick escapes when need be. Either way, they're causing problems across Maurtia Falls, and it seems that Guzma's never too far from them. Or, if not Guzma, there's a certain blue haired imPort leading some shenanigans of his own.
Their crimes are still pretty small scale to what they could be, all things considered. Graffitiing buildings, even cars in some cases, with random nonsense, but always an inclusion of the Team Skull emblem. As people approach, trying to get them to stop, the gang gets immediately aggressive. While they aren't likely to throw hands if they don't have to, they get loud, they surround, and act tough. Peppered threats of "You wanna go!?", or "Don't make me kick your ass, yo!" are pretty frequent. Some will actually fight if it escalates enough, while others might back down and attempt to flee—looking to Guzma or Tupp for help if either are present during the confrontation. If both are, they defer to Guzma, as Tupp surely will too.
Of course there's more than just Team Skull sharing their artistic visions across Maurtia Falls. Some of the thugs cashing in their five-finger discount at larger stores. Some being a little less stealthy about it, just grabbing different merchandise and making a break for it. Could be any variety of things: electronics, packaged food, etc. It doesn't seem to really matter what, they're just taking and fleeing as quick as they can. Some might make it to their buddies outside, hopping on their bikes to make a get away, others might not be so lucky if they're cut off by those who take it upon themselves to get involved. One of the few that are getting caught might pull out a phone, sending a message to somebody (that's Guzma), before trying to act tougher than they are.
There's also those who take to mugging citizens. Might even make the mistake of trying to mug an imPort, it's not like they totally know who is who at times. Especially if someone's trying to cut through a dark alley, coming across a couple of punks hiding out. They got knives on them, switchblades, but that's not to say they actually know anything about using them as skillfully as they would like their victim to believe. Granted, should it be Tupp leading the mugging, there's no flash of knives, but rather the threat of three Salandit. The approach is the same, whether their target be an innocent civilian or an imPort, but the hostility will certainly shift and ramp up once it's made apparent that their target either is an imPort, or an imPort is trying to disrupt their activities.
Other days will find the bulk of the gang loitering around parks and other public spaces, littering and trashing up the place. Trash left wherever, beer cans and bottles (are any of these kids even of age?) crushed or smashed once empty and left laying about, there's certainly someone with a damn speaker playing loud as fuck hiphop, while others are trying to breakdance. Trying being the operative word, here. Some are graffitiing the walking paths of the park, or trash cans, and so on. Others might be hassling park goers for the hell of it. You know, just inflicting general chaos and assholery. Hell, there might be a couple having tiffs with each other, trying to tough guy the other one down. They're all a bunch of angry idiots, though it's worth noting that there's a pretty even spread of guys and girls in this gang, all as equally aggressive and stupid.
At the center of it all, typically perched on either a park bench (ass on the back of it, feet on the seat, arms resting on his knees with a beer in hand) or a park table (in a similar way, ass on the table, feet on the bench seat, always with a beer) is Guzma. He's overseeing his little shits making a mess of everything, and causing a disturbance. His Pokémon are out and about too, which makes the group, beyond their own sheer number (which is a dozen or so), pretty unapproachable to most.]
((ooc: Feel free to pick a prompt, or even come up with your own! Team Skull will be doing typical gangster shit, thieving, vandalizing, etc. They're punk kids with a chip on their shoulder, but they're not murders. Please indicate roughly when the thread would be happening and also if you'd like either Tupp or Guzma to be involved, or even both! Any questions, feel free to hmu @![[plurk.com profile]](https://www.plurk.com/favicon.ico)

#Blessed
Coulda been anyone, yo.
[As he says this, another grunt finishes a beer, tries and fails to crush it against their head, and instead just drops it and tries to kick it—but misses.
Nice.]
no subject
You're right. Definitely could've been anyone. Let's pretend for a second, though, that it wasn't anyone. You pulled this together really fast. I'm impressed and kinda jealous. I'm a seasoned detective who saved a whole city, and I'm stuck finding lost wallets and valuables while working part time at a toy emporium 'til I get my credibility built back up.
no subject
Yeah? Can't say I'm all too surprised no one's looking to a lone Pokémon to be their ace detective. Might have a better shot at finding a human to pair up with, y'know, like how that shit's usually done.
[However, Guzma does seem to visibly preen at the compliment, taking a fat pull off his own beer, finishing it. Tossing it to the side, it's snatched by Scizor and crushed within those pincers of his. Meanwhile, the earlier failure of a grunt looks to the bug for a moment, then to his can on the ground...picking it up, he tosses it to Scizor—and instead of crushing it, Scizor just punches it right back at the kid. Fortunately he has quick reflexes and ducks outta the way before the can beams him in the head, Scizor giving him a cold and flat stare.
The punk probably won't try that shit again, nor will his slightly terrified buddies who are staring on in awe and a little fear. Either way, Guzma ignores all of that, as if he's so used to such stupid bullshit happening in his periphery, that he doesn't even have to try to ignore it. It just comes naturally.]
What can I say, huh? Your boy works fast. I know how to get organized and pull in a crowd—[With a gesture to Pikachu, then himself:]—seasoned detective, meet seasoned gang leader, yo.
no subject
[This display goes partially ignored by Pikachu right up until a guy almost throws a can at Scizor and then he has to watch the whole thing unfurl like this is gonna be on Vine later. He's almost disappointed the kid didn't get brained with that can.
Look, you take your schadenfreude where you can get it.] You could've started a YMCA with that power, but nooo. It's spraypainting and littering for you kooky kids. Well, at least you're not... [Doing drugs? probably. Selling drugs? potentially. Doing murders? EHHHHH] ...You know what? At least you're not ruining anyone's day. I'm reaching here.
comes in late w/ starbucks
It almost seems like he didn't notice the Pikachu here in the park at all. Or you know the fact it's talking?? It's not like he couldn't hear the conversation as he approached.]
Yo Boss, whose Pika— [Said casually after letting out his own Pokemon and after he started digging through one of the bags for some fries. He pauses mid sentence though, eyes going wide as he looks to the Pikachu baffled.] —Yo! Did that Pikachu just talk!?
[Nice, eloquent. Great entrance. He's actually been told about Detective Pikachu before, but it's different meeting the guy in person, ya know?]
no subject
no subject
Yo! Don't play dumb with me! I know there's a talkin' Pikachu here so that's gotta be you, huh?!
[Said as he jabs a fry in Pikachu's direction.]
no subject
But he can't even enjoy his MoMdonalds in peace, because Tupp and Pikachu are doing... that. Guzma snaps his fingers a couple times to get Tupp's attention, before pointing to the bag. Obviously Guzma ain't reaching in there to fish himself a burger, don't go slacking on your duties, Tupp!]
Yeah, he's the talkin' one, but he's chill, so cool it.
[But then he brings his attention to Pikachu, assuming Tupp got the fucking picture and burgered his boy Guzma.]
As for what we were talkin' about—if we ain't ruining somebody's day, then we ain't doing our job. I think a quick glance around does a good enough provin' contrary, huh?
no subject
Yeah. Okay, fair. But I give it a week and everyone will be calling you an artistic genius for defiling public structures with all that spray paint.
[Maybe the trick to teaching thugs to be less thuggish is to make it not fun for them anymore. Eh it's an attempt. His jellies tell him that he can't just accept this laying down, but they do not tell him he has to put in a lot of effort when this is both outside his jurisdiction and rookie cop work, not... seasoned detective work.]
no subject
Oh. Yes, Boss.
[Seeing as his Boss is cool with the talking Pikachu does help chill Tupp out and he wasn't intentionally trying to disrupt whatever sort of conversation these two were having. He sits his ass down on the park bench near the food in case Guzma wanted him to hand him more, but otherwise he'll dig himself out the french fries to eat and toss one at a time to his Salandit. He's interested enough to keep listening in, but he doesn't really know what they were talking about in the first place as is.]
no subject
That'll be a change of pace from home, that's f'sure.
[He says with clear amusement in his voice. He'd much rather be reviled, but at the same time he recognizes there's some merit of people seeing them as misunderstood artists, than the troublemakers they are.
Thoughtfully, Guzma takes a bite of his burger. Less thoughtfully, he speaks while chewing it.]
So long as the message is received, I won't be complainin'. Who knows, might inspire more people to pick up a can and paint this city with us, yo.
