The Tag Someone New Meme

How it works:

1.) Post with your characters.

2.) Tag at least one new character you've never played with before with some kind of Route-related prompt - bonus points if you know absolutely nothing about that character! Tagging multiple characters you don't know is definitely encouraged.

3.) Test out potential and new game CR!

4.) Potential appers welcomed!

I take it you're new. You're in the Team Rocket base, in Goldenrod City, in a land called Kanto.

[Just don't ask how you got here. He's been here for almost two years and still doesn't know how that works.]

I don't think I've heard of any of those places.

[Side-eyeing all this. He's supposed to be the joker here.]

This is a pretty elaborate joke.

I'd be ssssurprised if you had.

[Oh how Cobra wishes this were all a joke.]

Thissss is no joke either!

It would have been a good one if it was.

[Seriously, this totally tops all of his time shenanigans with Church. He's a bit jealous.]

So what am I supposed to be doing here?

Didn't you read the letter and handbook you were given?

Yes. I just do not see the point.

[that's a lie. He hasn't.]

Are you blind? It's rather sssstraightforward! Sssteal Pokemon and commit other criminal acts to strengthen the organization.

And what's in it for me?

They reward Grunts based on performance. Ssssuch rewards include money, items, higher ranks and all the privileges that go with them.

But nothing on going back?

Nothing. Ssssome people do leave Johto, but there doesn't sssseem to be any reason why. It happens randomly.

[It sounds weird, but all things considered, it could probably be weirder.]

So what is your job?

[...Good question.]

My job. My job is the sssame as everyone else! But ssssince I outrank all the other Grunts, I also have the authority to order them around!

So you are the one in charge then.

You could ssssay that. I am more or less your commanding officer.

[At least he thinks of himself this way. Then again, he thought this way even before he earned a promotion.]

[Commanding officer. That's a familiar term, and he's used to taking orders, so he'll listen. Even if he's not sure this is the best idea.]

Then what are your orders?

Familiarize yourself with the layout of the base, your fellow Grunts, the layout of this city, and the map of Johto. Report back to me when you are finished.

[It takes Gary a minute to toss off a salute (because seriously what is a human body) but he manages. He's about to turn around and leave.]

Who are you anyway?

[Cobra shakes his head at the salute confusion. Still, he's seen worse.]

I am Cobra Commander! Remember that!

[he tried, okay?]</small. Right. I will.
