You didn't specify, but what is the Sunrise Warrior?

Guess... we could answer that one.

It's somewhat similar to the Lost Heir scam. In that, you make the mark -- The victim of the scam -- believe that they're gonna have a big payout because they're working with someone who's secretly the heir to an empire. Most notable example in history's the story of Anna Anderson, who claimed to be the lost Duchess Anastasia in the Siber Region.

The Sunrise Warrior makes that go from hopes of a payout to fear of retaliation. In that case, we had Eliot posing as a Chosen of Virizion to get Macro Cosmos off our backs.

Still pissed off about that one.

I think you made an excellent Virizion Chosen, Eliot.

Heh. Like one of the Swords of Justice would pick me.

You know, we share a sentiment. We hate the government and the people running it. Maybe we can reach an arrangement

(@rocketing-diva)

We can take a minute to review your application and get back to you at a

No.

I mean. I was just tryin' to make a joke here but. You good, man?

We don't do business with Rocket.

//OOC: Reblog to get a (potentially antagonizing) ask from Miku!

[team-leverage]

Is that a request?

man rotomblrs been boring lately- wheres the villains

[team-leverage]

moderation only works so well where the multiverse is concerned :(

Can we talk to Palkia about that? I saw a Giratina blog.

[team-leverage]

so how is teaching the rest of the team how to cook going

I have an Empoleon for a reason, and he's for putting out fires.

THAT WAS YOU??? WHAT DID YOU NEED THAT MUCH GREEN HAIR DYE FOR?????

Have you seen how much hair Eliot has? Was like dyeing a Mabosstiff.

[team-leverage]

I know you can't be too open about what you all do, but I'm interested, what's been your favorite con to pull off?

Hm... I think the Sunrise Warrior scam was my favorite, at least since we started this group.

That's because you were the one that got to be the follower. I had to fake being a Chosen of Virizion.

Yeah, if you're a marketer from Revavlon and you're wonderin' why you had that spike in green hair dye, that was us.

You know. I was wonderin' why Hardison had the idea to get a startup here, but. Damn, there's a lot of Team blogs here. Is there just no moderation here?

[team-leverage]

are we sure that parker has all of the team's autism

What's that supposed to mean?

[team-leverage]

did someone make mango custard. who's the best cook. can any of you guys cook you seem way too competent to be able to cook

We're all adults, all of us can cook. Well. Not Parker. Or Hardison. But the rest of us can cook.

Have you ever seen Sophie or Nate in the kitchen?

... You're kiddin'.

Yeah there's a reason we stick around you.

I'm teaching all of you how to cook.

idea: team rocket has a division known as rainbow rocket -> the rainbow is associated with queer people -> queer people are sometimes called fruit -> mango is a fruit -> ??? -> mango custard

alternatively: had it while doing the job. i dont know where you would find that, though.

Good thinking, but no on both ideas. Not gonna say what it is. Have to keep some secrets here.

i mean you guys arent that unsimilar (is that the right prefix?) to the phantom theives.

- theres 5 of you i think (idk how many PTs there are)

- steal hearts (iirc it was only one in your case but it counts)

- no kill policy (i think)

- autism.

all youre missing is a creature and a video game. actually there might be a team leverage game. that would be cool.

I can think of at least five things wrong with this.

Why's autism here exactly?

That's me.

... Point taken.

Look the point is the only similarity is the MO. And the whole "no killing" thing, I guess there's that.

[team-leverage]

why isn't anyone asking the real questions (what in the name of ho-oh's flashy feathers does mango custard have to do with team rocket-)

It's a very distinct plan. Can't go into details.

[team-leverage]

Hi, I think someone stole my energy and motivation to write fanfic. Can you steal it back for me?

That's uh... Not the kinda problem we usually work with.

[team-leverage]

You could have picked anything else."Karma's Agents" just came into my head. That already works better. Everyone's a Phantom Thief, man.

Phantom Thieves better

Look I don't wanna hear that from a buncha kids who couldn't pick a creative name. You're a criminal organization, you aren't a genre. Get some juice flowin', man.

[team-leverage]

what does leverage even mean

The word?

It's when you've got something to use as like. A lever or something to help move something heavy. Like a shovel.
