the trip back feels weird. people were not acting themselves after the mask, and everyone is either too dazed or aggressive to talk to. he keeps mostly to himself, happy that they finally have something better for garbs.

he reaches the cell with , where he promptly takes the cot. his cellmate doesn't seem to be the type to be assertive, but priam helps oil up the situation.

"hehe, the bed's open if you wanna share," he offers, snickering as he pats the cot. he lies down, scooting to a side to make ample space, if that was even a possibility for two grown men. "and it'll be there all night!"

tiredness and fatigue settle in. priam closes his eyes, and the dreams take hold sooner than expected.


"big guzzy!"

priam yells at the display of an oversized guzzlord in front of him.

still high from his vision from the mask, priam's false disposition of being a happy-go-lucky go-getter remains in its peak even within the dream. enthusiasm reaches off the charts the moment the ultra beast he never thought he'd see again appears.

this was the same guzzlord that trampled over mossdeep years ago, one that had been mentioned on old prophecies during their days of galar.

"oscar!" he shouts, voice echoing throughout the streets of megalopolis. "oscar! mister ! you around?"

instead, it attracts the attention of a megalopolan.

"hey!" priam calls them, friendly as ever. "you guys have been here longer, right? do you know how to take 'em outta this thing?"

this is a dream for priam. nothing is real and everything is imaginary. the appearance of a megalopolan doesn't surprise him since it goes with the theme of his giant guzzlord and the setting of a futuristic city.

tl;dr
  • takes half the cot. offers the other half to greg.
  • sleeps
  • thinks it's an actual dream instead of lucid dreaming
  • sees giant guzzlord
  • asks megalopolan if they can take it out
  • feel free to notice him being loud

"priam...?"

the voice of the beaten prisoner beside him shakes him to the core. he attempts to look away, but he remains frozen in place. he shudders, but eventually, he finds the strength to remains steady amid the situation.

this had been his reality before. this will be his reality from now on.

"y-yeah," he smiles, shrugging his shoulders as he attempts to be optimistic for despite everything. "what bad luck we all have, right?"

the sight of velmos brings a reaction from oscar, understandably so. "at least he doesn't seem to have a grudge on us," he comments with a humorous tone, thankful that they received no power tripping from him after capturing him during the war.

regardless, everything was still left up to the whims of their captors and they are forced to experience their desires.


priam sees himself at the beaches of slateport, lagging behind the first wave of rockets aiming to overwhelm hoenn's forces during their initial invasion. he cheers and yells, supporting from the back while others spearhead the initiative.

he sees himself at a burning tower, going against a gym leader despite the recent death of his favorite pokemon. he doesn't seem unperturbed, and even managing to hold well. he wasn't soft, nor was he weak.

the vision cuts to a giant celesteela. it's just him and his arcanine, while his druddigon lays dead on the ground, stomach pierced through by a hyper beam from the ultra beast.

he then goes to a gym with a friend, stealing a specimen of a shadow pokemon from the gym leader. with it, he manages to procure an important reference for the research of artificially enhanced pokemon.

priam helps blow up a concert hall with the tree of life and escapes, narrowly condemning a few people to their deaths as a response to their overzealous mission to get him.

with the arm of the giant guzzlord, he participates in the bastardization of life itself and makes an abomination out of it with the sap from the same tree they blew up.

priam takes his guzzlord to demolish an entire tower to once again break the laws of nature to revive his gabite and--

priam participates in kidnapping the councilman with the help of--

priam helps oversee the production of genesect with--

priam leads rocket to the secrets of the world--

priam deliberately sabotages league--

priam stops the--

priam--

priam...

priam is happy that he is able to do all of these without breaking his spirit. he is fortunate enough that he can smile through everything and not find anything wrong. his parents may not have raised him like this, but he is proud that he is doing his best given his situation.

yeah, this is the best he can do with his situation. anything more or less will make things worse for him, especially since he's so well adjusted within the organization already. the great priam definitely doesn't need to change!



the priam that comes out after peering through the mask doesn't seem much different than the one that came before. the same hyperactive, optimistic grunt remains.

escorted to the next room, he meets those who go to shower with bright-eyed curiosity. there were no words that leave his mouth though, since a rocket grunt knows when to keep quiet and when to hog the attention to himself.

scalding hot water pours down on his bare skin, having forgone clothes to fit with the crowd. liquid drips down from the showers, tracing the toned sculpture of his body. size isn't everything, but priam wouldn't be shy to show off in this crowd now that he sees his competition.

tl;dr
  • tries to be optimistic
  • looks into the mask
  • priam's desire is to find normalcy in his daily life (being well-adjusted to rocket life)
  • showers with the rest, but doesn't talk bc it's awkward

is really the only person priam gets close to, and it doesn't seem surprising when he turns out to be the person priam holds hands with.

"you guys are actually abstainin' after seein' all that?!"

they may be playing a game, but the house always wins. adding rules that don't correspond to what was already laid out risks the same punishment they've already seen on the screen.

priam wasn't a masochist. suffering doesn't make an enjoyable afternoon for him.

"if you wanna play hero, how about we stay alive instead? can't really protect your friends if you're already beaten black and blue, y'know."

beneath the mask, his expression is hidden. the devil's advocate plays, leaning to the side of realism and logic than blind optimism if it meant staying alive.

"maybe the chamber of desires has something that you guys want, like, i dunno, whatever it is you desire?" fairness? justice? salvation? their righteousness doesn't seem to know no bounds, even if it meant sacrificing the innocent people within their ward. "please, please, please, please! don't waste this opportunity for us!"

priam casts his vote. "dummy!"

tl;dr
  • behaves himself
  • suggests that the chamber of desires can be their hope to better their position (to save people or otherwise)
  • doesn't play games in case that opportunity is taken away from them
  • votes dummy

he hands the regi relic over, not thinking much about it. as far as things have went, nothing has happened with it, so priam thinks it's literally just a souvenir.

the marks seemed to take more of howard's attention.

"it's warm, i guess," he answers. "it gets super hot sometimes, but that's only for special cases like the one time when we got the slate on ultra deep sea."

"ugh, you're right, boss."

the nickname he accidentally calls @grigori comes from habit with the ever so rotating higher ups of the organization. his head correlates older to a superior, and it was clear grigori was one.

begrudgingly, he lets go of the bars, throwing himself away from it with exaggeration. priam behaves himself for now, seeing as there's no other choice.

obediently, he consumes his mochi and begins to work, positioning himself near his cellmate at all times as per his subconscious.

passive aggression first manifests when forced to clean each shard, polishing with loud movements to silently voice out frustrations, but after the first few, he finds himself in a groove. there's rhythm, and then there's content.

he finds himself bouncing to a song he sings in his head as he is reminded of the small little tasks he used to do in vermillion's warehouses during kanto's fall.

tl;dr
  • behaves himself
  • eats mochi and gets to work
  • seemingly enjoys the mundane task

priam "wakes up".

grumbling, he scratches his stomach before lazily rolling off the cot from being given a wake up call, landing on the cold, hard floors of the jail cell. he immediately jolts back up.

"i'm awake!" he shouts, as if surprised by the shock of the impact.

he scrambles to his feet, acting in daze as confusion was supposed to override any kind of reaction from sleeping with a stranger. priam looks around, gauging the surroundings properly this time.

"w-wait, this isn't-" the sub, he wanted to say. "my bedroom!"

priam rushes to the bars, conveniently ignoring so they don't have to address the fact that he had been cuddling with him. acting the supposed natural reaction out, priam skips one interaction for another.

"let me out! i didn't get caught this time, i swear!" he yells outside.

tl;dr
  • "wakes up"
  • attempts to panic so he can ignore the awkward interaction with grigori
  • yells from inside his cell

priam had been asleep on the couch, his arms and legs wrapped around what seemed like a body pillow at that time.

his sleep doesn't seem to be affected by poor conditions. he was used to decrepit circumstances that nothing about the cell's lack of air conditioning or mattresses didn't faze him out of his sleep.

it was only the loud yelling that wakes him up.

he opens his eyes, finds out that the pillow he was all up into wasn't exactly a pillow, and then immediately pretends to fall asleep again. he caught a glimpse of the foreign surroundings he was in, but it was better to avoid the awkward first meeting with his cellmate than figure out their situation.

good luck .

tl;dr
  • sleep cuddles greg
  • commotions inside the penitentiary wakes him up
  • pretends to go back to sleep so grigori can face reality first

GC EXCURSION A: URIAH & PRIAM
POSTED ON Apr 1, 2024 5:34:34 GMT
priam conrad Avatar
with the two sharing the same energy, priam only grows more excited to visit the last place he saw the paradox pokemon from kyurem's attack.

"you better not back out when you see how dangerous they get!"

they probably weren't as dangerous as he says, given that hoenn residents have now grown accustomed to a certain level of danger.

priam eventually leads uriah to where they once appeared, but they have obviously dispersed, leaving nothing on their place of descent but signs of destruction.

his braviary sets the final nail in the coffin for the paradox pokemon with its oblivion wing, wherein he petrifies their taget for the capture.

no words were exchanged. the objective was clear, and frankly, the hype pushes priam to push the button.

the pokeball is thrown for the capture, and it's only a matter of time before rocket earns itself another specimen for study.

"call me conrad!"

he was more known as priam at the labs anyways, and his surname was also a common given name, so he figures it's fine.

he returns the fist bump with enthusiasm. a lot of rocket people don't like fist bumps so it was an exciting occurence for him.

"hey, do you wanna go where we fought those paradox pokemom that hoopa brought? maybe we can see one of 'em still lingering around."

people said that not every single one got purged that day and some escaped. maybe uriah wants one too.

priam stares at each victim that rabsca takes with its speed swap, and priam is determined not to be one of them.

"alright, trubby. just as we planned."

there was no plan besides to go fast.

the trubbish starts to run, shedding off weight with autotomize. ungprtunately, they, too, get their speed stolen.

  • use a SPEED-RAISING MOVE OR ABILITY (The first 15 characters will receive 5 mochi; the rest will receive 3 mochi. if your character already has the maximum of 20 mochi, they will only receive 3 mochi and will NOT TAKE UP A BONUS MOCHI SLOT. Please note this in your post.).

"maybe, maybe not!" he teases.

there was promise of adventure out there, and priam will take it if it wasn't an inconvenience. unfortunately, he's on the whims of his bosses in rocket.

"how 'bout we go together?" he says. "and if something comes up, we can decide if we continue or not."
