[center][h1][color=DAA520]B R I A R[/color][/h1][url=https://youtu.be/HdBrpuTcZMs]A Roll of the Dice[/url][/center][hr] BRIAR was going to fire their assistant. With a quick mental note made, they boarded the helicopter, chin held high despite the pilot's insistence for them to lower their head should they accidentally hit the rotor. It was foolish, really, as they were rather lacking in the height department and the rotor was positioned high above their head. They had no need to bow down, even if the pilot was screaming bloody murder about the threat of decapitation. They'd fire him after the assistant. They had taken a plane ride from Unova, leaving their lovely mansion behind, to Kanto, where they promptly boarded a helicopter to take them to New Bark Town. The long travel had already taken up much of BRIAR's patience, and their assistant's failure to procure the exact brew they'd wanted had only thinned it out further. They were already sacrificing much of their precious time for this so-called journey, and to such a provincial area as Johto too. Had it been somewhere like Kalos, or even their home turf Unova, they'd have been in their element, but no, the Professor had called for them to assemble in a backwater region like Johto, where they would be stuck skulking around with mud on their designer boots. Which, okay fine, they had included the sacrifice of their favourite boots in the letter they'd sent, but they hadn't thought they would actually have to trample around in the woods and such. True to form, taking up the role of the Pokemon Trainer had not been something BRIAR thought out fully. They'd seen the Pokemon that cameod in films and shows they'd participated in, but they hadn't thought it would include actually training them. [i]"Well, it is in the name,"[/i] their assistant had the audacity to state, as though BRIAR were too dim-witted to figure that out themself. Their usage of the copter had massively cut the travel time should they have taken a bus or a train, and as the copter noisily descended into an open area near New Bark Town, they noticed that they were the first. The town's welcoming signage greeted them with its dulled down writing: 'Winds of a New Beginning.' The copter's rotor had only slowed to allow them to step off and for their assistant to carry their luggage off the vehicle before roaring to life again and exiting the area as loudly as it had entered. The heavy breeze caused by such an action had caused their assistant to fumble and for her hair to turn into a messy crop, but BRIAR stood amongst it in all their glory, clothes and hair as perfect as when they'd stepped out of their home. They looked around at the quiet neighbourhood and openly sneered.
