[This post opens with a picture of a wonderfully purple-ish Murkrow, peacefully asleep in a comfortable blanket. Yes, it is absolutely in the right network.]
Look at him! Did you know birds like blankets? I had no idea.
I didn't know Pokémon could come in different colors either, but I'm guessing most of you DID already know that.
It's very rare, isn't it? These Pokémon, Murkrow... They're usually much darker.
But that reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask.
Some of you have more than one team, right? Since we're supposed to be incognito?
Right now, there's only one Pokémon I've made sure not to use when I'm out doing civilian things
You know, that little barnacle claw guy I got after that other big heist (he's grown a lot by the way! Kind of freaky how it stands like a person now, but I guess it's good for intimidation purposes).
BUT my point is... I need to decide what to do with Corvo, don't I?
(That's this little guy's name)
Since shiny Pokémon are so rare, using him in battle both on the job and out could let someone identify me...
But
Um.
[Okay fuck this is embarrassing but here goes.]
The admins won't make me hand him over if they see me using him, will they?
I like him a LOT and I think he likes me too!
I saw him hatch and all these toys and this blanket came with the egg...
Should I actually JUST use him for civilian things???
((OOC: ICly, Doppio's text is pink, I'm just defaulting to black because I don't want to force that on unsuspecting people :V;; I'll tag back in pink if I know you're fine with it!))

[Lol.]
Now, onto the real question..... look, I know I keep doing this to you, and it ain't really your thing, but I'm gonna answer your question with a question.
Why do you care about being identified?
Honest question. This isn't a challenge, I'm not calling you out or anything. Some people give a shit. I don't, but maybe you do. Or maybe you just think you do. Old habits die hard. I know how it is. So think about it.

It could be nothing, sure. But he hasn't gotten where he is by not being paranoid.]
Old habits?
I don't know what you're talking about.
[That's one thing Doppio can not-so-subtly fish for information on. The other, he is unaware of; it only resonates deep in the back of his mind and unsettles something raw and reaches all the way to Diavolo.]
But if we're not supposed to let people know we're in Team Rocket then I probably shouldn't be challenging gyms with Pokémon that stand out too much, right?
