#nmoroder ags ask

(Ghetsis holds a paper in disgust. The question text is written there - “if you manage to conquer the whole region, what’s next?”)

He looks up above the paper and says: “What makes you think I’m going to do that?..”

(He crumples the paper in his hand and keeps talking. Keep in mind that these comics take place between BW and BW2 and nothing has yet happened to Opelucid City.)

G: Freezing some city could seem like an entertaining business. Especially for Colress. But it’s not worth distributing onto an entire region - only for something urgent and relatively short in deploying. If I’m ever going to show off Plasma’s power, freezing a couple of hundreds of people will do just fine.

(He keeps talking and Colress emerges from behind.)

G: I am returning what is destined to be mine, after all, and I have no desire to rule in a dead frozen land. If its inhabitants do not seek this fate, of course.

C: Hey, why the long and fancy talk?

G: Today’s survey asked me whatever shall we do after we freeze Unova. Here, take a look.

(Colress takes the crumpled paper from him and opens it.)

C: Oh light of my research, you’ve got it all wrong. It says “conquer”, not “freeze” the region... although your answer wouldn’t have differed much.

(It’s some sort of a fan convention in the background. Some other chatacters and askblog mascots are seen, as well as giant OTP ASK (the askblog name) boards around the place. A reporter approaches Colress and Ghetsis. White text is her, yellow is Colress and green is Ghetsis.)

Reporter: And here we have a subproject for Pokemon universe! A B&W2 prequel, right?

Colress: Yeah right, that’s us!

Ghetsis: Prequel, what the hell?

C: Shh, that’s what our project is called.

R: So what made you decide to take part in this project?

G: Our producer - oh by the way, here they are.

(A person is waving at the background, the camera zooms in at them and they show a heart with their hands. This person is my mascot Matvej Moroder whom I often use for an image of my influence)

R: But that’s the deadline manager, right? Are they also producing? (It’s a reference to me being the actual deadline manager of said askblog, so me having a role means i’m both producing (making posts) and maintaining a deadline system for everyone else.)

G: I guess so. Well, the producer asked us whether we had any stories to implement in a cinematic way.

C: We got paid. A lot.

R: What about your schedule, does that take a lot of your time?

C: It’s actually less than I thought! We were really busy throughout first two months, but it’s got way quieter now.

G: I expected that two months to be THE only two months. But now we’re stuck here because of him.

C: Hey, look on the brightside, they’re paying us! Supporting your... our team.

R: Okay, last question! Maybe you’d like to shoot a film yourself?

G: (after some thinking) I’d like to do a silent film of the Plasma Frigate slowly crawling over Unova’s capital and freezing it. I think that would make some nice cinema.

C: (slightly shocked but clearly agitated) ...that’s quite romantic.

Question: Wish your partner a Happy Birthday! (Russian text additionally means you can present them with something or just say some nice words, no matter.)

(Colress appears behind Ghetsis and covers his eyes.)

Ghetsis: ...huh? Colress? Stop this instant. You’re gonna smudge my visor.

Colress: How can I smudge it if I’m wearing gloves?

G: What do you want?

C: Well of course, to wish you a happy birthday! You’re the birthday boy today, are you not.

G: Ah, this. I’m listening.

C: I have a surprise for you that you’ll surely be welcoming.

G: Please don’t jump out of a cake.

C: Oh come on! 

C: Throughout the next week I’m gonna behave like a regular Team Plasma member. That is, full discipline, no smart remarks and no retorts while you’re speaking. (Ghetsis looks away in confusion)

G: Why the sudden urge to?

C: Don’t act like it’s nothing, I know how hard my personality be to cope with for you. All the eyerolling! Have a little rest from it.

(Next picture says, “Two days later”. The frigate seemes to be on a stop somewhere green, Ghetsis sits under the trees and Colress is seen training his Beheeyem. After that, he puts his Pokemon away and approaches Ghetsis.)

C: Lord Ghetsis, the testing is complete for today. The results will--

G: Hey, Colress... it’s enough.

C: Huh? Have I offended you?

G: No... sit down here. 

(He obliges and sits by Ghetsis’ side under the trees.)

G: This masquerade has to end. I know you wanted to give me a present by behaving like this but... I don’t feel anything positive from it. Of all people - of all Team Plasma - you’re the one I don’t want to see like this. You’re perfect the way you are. I got used to you and there’s nothing I would permanently change. Furthermore, I... dislike the change you made, quite literally.

C: Oh... but you sometimes react at my words like I’ve gravely insulted you.

G: Really, I do? What a drag.

C: You roll your eyes quite like a court lady.

G: Come now... I’m not rolling my eyes because you’ve irreparably hurt my heart and all that. Are you bothered by my reaction?

C: Nah, it was you I wanted to give a present to after all. To make you suffer less from tolerating me... sure thing, when I still thought you were tolerating me. Okay, I’m glad we’ve sorted this one out. Only that...

G: Yes?

C: You still have five more days left off your present. I can’t just take them away from you!

G: Hmm. Well, I might just have an idea about that.

C: Huh?

G: Turn them into kisses.
