[ATTENTIONS, CITIZENS. AND NEWCOMERS. AND WHOEVER ELSE MAY BE WATCHING.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR NV'S.

Despite the fact that the world is spinning around pretty rapidly. I mean, that's kinda weird, right, but no, it's okay. Things are perfectly fine. That's just a roulette wheel.

Why is an NV on a roulette well? Well... It's attached to a cat who is currently on a roulette wheel and that is a very long story. If you listen closely, you can hear him yelling and throwing a hissy fit. He is just not happy right now. And all that jarring movement makes it hard to see what's going on.

And then it stops, but since the NV is on Meowth's wrists and he's currently dizzily trying to get his bearings.]

What's th' big idea, wise guy?

You're cheatin', that's what. [Some voice offscreen. Meowth begins flailing his arms, which means YAY SEIZURE VISION.]

WHO YOU CALLIN' A CHEAT? [There's silent and the NV is thankfully covered up, because Meowth just crossed his arms. No more nausea vision, but you can still hear.] But if youse guys just hand me my winnin's, I won't tell nobody what a buncha lousy poker players you are.

[Except he just told the entire network.

Oops.

A half second later, there's more screaming, blurred images, and a sudden thud. And then darkness. But not silence.]

AND STAY OUT, YOU MANGY CAT.

[....Yeah, Meowth's just gotten thrown out on his face. He clambers to his feet and shouts.] YEAH?! Well, you're a establishment's a joke, you lamebrains!

[Annnd that sound is someone getting smacked in the face with a large bag of singles.

And then the feed times out.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Are you horribly deformed? Are you incapable of appearing on film? Does looking upon your face curse one for all eternity? [alright, he's sort of enjoying playing it up]

Why the heck's it your business, bub? [Except, you know, criminal networking.

But still. MAYBE HE LIKES BEING MYSTERIOUS.]

You don't think it's in my interests to know who I'll be dealing with?

How's seein' me gonna make any difference?

I'd like to know how much of a scruffy "kid" you are. I don't do business with children.

D-did I say kid? Well, uh. Kid's kinda a relative term, ain't it? I mean, I'm in my... [SHIT. CAT YEARS. WHAT IS HIS AGE? Um. Excuse him while he figures this out. Carry the four, uh...] Twenties! [Yep. That's convincing.]

You don't sound very sure, Caboodle-san. Perhaps you should check your birth certificate? I'll wait.

[OH SWEET ARCEUS. FINALLY SOMETHING HE HAS A LEGIT ARGUMENT FOR.] Hah! I wasn't born here, so I don't got a birth certificate.

I was being sarcastic. You're right, though- perhaps I should ask for some other sort of ID. A driving license?

Not everyone knows t' drive. [...Except he totally does.]

I imagine it would be difficult for a cat to drive, yes.

I AIN'T EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT.

[......

....DAMMIT.]

Oh, dear. [poor Meowth. He can probably hear the smug grin in Tonegawa's voice.] Do you have anything else you'd like to confess to? Or would you like me to bait you again to make it easier?

Okay, wise guy! So I'm a cat. That don't make me no dumb animal. I've been a master o' crime since 'afore I could say "master of crime."

You're barely a master of your own secret identity. Why would I believe you now?

[....

TOUCHE.]

I still got my own gang. My old boss left 'em to me before he split. [aka died horribly.]

You have a gang? What sort of a crime boss would leave their gang to a cat? [IT'S HARD TO TELL WHO HE'S BEING MORE SCATHING ABOUT]

Someone who obviously recognized talent when they see it. And this ain't even the first time I've led my own gang. I used t' lead a pretty impressive trio back home.

[...One of these things is a lie.

Actually, all of these things are lies, but one of them is more of a delusion.]

... a trio. I see. [it's a little hard to be sarcastic when he's watching a cat explain his criminal resume. Focus, Yukio.] Does this "someone" have a name? Or are you above name-dropping?

Well, since we're all criminals here and he ain't in the city no more, it ain't gonna be a problem.

[And then there's an awkward pause, because...

Meowth never did freakin' get Black Mask's name, even though the news said it like fifty times. He does not pay attention.] ....Uh, well. He went by Black Mask, so that's good enough, right?

[Fortunately for Meowth, that's all Tonegawa needs. First Caster and now Sionis- is there anyone this cat hasn't rubbed shoulders with?]

Black Mask? [He's repeating less for clarification than for shock- it's not the sort of name one drops casually, after all] You? How the hell did you meet him?

[WHAT IS THIS? DOES MEOWTH HAVE BRAGGING RIGHTS? Yeeeeeah.] We talked a few times over the network. He thought I had a lot of chutzpah, so we started workin' together. I'm the guy what nearly broke 'em out of prison one time.

... hmm. [The unimpressed quality to his voice is somewhat strained now. Both Caster and Sionis were somewhat flighty in their tastes- eccentric- but it seems unlikely that they'd entertain the attentions of someone they didn't see some use for, much less work with them.] Fine. Perhaps you do have a little more credibility than I'd first thought. But I want a name- your real name.

Now that's more like it. [Preeeen. THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING SO WELL FOR HIM. THIS IS THE BEST.] The name's Meowth.
