Zackary Laburnum's Links
It has been a “pleasure” to meet this poor excuse for a once human being, the Sableye’s so exaggeratedly over the top with his constant use of such immature insults and proclaimed hatred towards all that it is hard to comprehend him to even exist. Morally he is no better, willing to steal and plunder out of the sheer game. There has shown to be nothing redeeming about him, merely a plague to cause the agitation of others for his own enjoyment, and to conclude it all is completely willing to put an end to the lives of others no matter how innocent once they do not live up to his pleasure.
As you can see, it is quite clear that he is rather unlikable. It certainly is no surprise to me that he has been vocal about his prior involvement with the criminal organization which lead to the corruption of my home region and takers of the lives of my cousin, his wife, and infant son. Only an asset to the prolonged issues which sees no end in sight. Oh, and how he bouts of his skill and experience in such a short amount of time, yet even with one of those very abilities I have mentioned before, his willingness to commit murder, he has little to show for it. Fool failed to kill me right, and by right should he be subjected to his frustration against me. What a miserable excuse for a member of my species, yet lucky he should feel that I have some mercy on the young. To imagine a mere fifteen years old fits into all I have explained...
God, I can’t FUCKING STAND this fucking snake. Should’ve dug my fucking claws deeper to make sure he fucking bled to death. “He’S tRyInG tO iMpRoVe” MY ASS, wouldn’t need to fucking improve if he just fucking took his shit, laid down, and died like he fucking should have.
The Zoroark is... Interesting, to say the least. Despite the obvious seemingly sudden frenzies she so commonly displays she shows quite the amount of empathy and compassion towards others, though I suppose that is to be expected with those of the canine variety. Still, I have managed to engage in casual conversation with the Pokémon in the off-time when she isn’t attempting to pillage everything in her line of sight.
Oh boy, Zack. He actually is quite nice to talk to, who would have guessed with how crappy he treats everyone else, but I actually seemed to have gotten on his good side. Guy’s really smart and he really did seem to care about the ones in his past, sucks what happened to him, knows what it’s like to lose someone even if it is a completely different case for him. I do wish he got out more honestly, laying around with those thoughts in his head can’t be any good for him... I just hope he can accept what’s happened, but I’m afraid that’s never going to happen. Arceus, he messed up...
Despite all the suffering I have caused onto this avian still it continues to follow me... Which, of many things, baffles me. Though I do not know much about the previous experiences of him before his time in my captivity, everything I am knowledgeable about is all the ways I have prolonged his negative experiences, I am the one who initiated the event which would resolve in near life-threatening injuries and concluded in the loss of his eye. There are... many things than just that, the horrors I had forced him to witness due to my poor mental state are far too high of an amount to say specifically, it is no wonder he was the one who began the uprising against me. I thank him for that, yet he failed in destroying the being which had inflicted him. Then... What is the reason for him to remain? Why must he attempt to support me in continuing my existence despite the fact that he would be relieved of everything done at my end? He avoids questioning, so I can not even begin to imagine the possibilities for his convinced mindset. I wish he simply would put a stop to it, allow me to finally come to my demise sooner, yet as long as he is there... He’s attempting to put an end to my end. What a fool these creatures are...
Oh, uh... Yeah, this‘ll be hard. Dad has changed, a lot, like sometimes I can barely recognize him. He used to be so... Happier, I guess you could say. I-I can’t even think about what he’s gone through to end up like this, even if I keep on hearing him talk about it. I’m... Quite frankly scared of him. But... I still care about him. He’s my dad, even if he’s messed up now. But I just... I can’t tell him. I can’t tell him what he did also ended up doing the same thing to his son. He doesn’t know I’m Cody. And, well, it’s better that way. I-I can p-put up with it, I swear. No ones needs to know. Especially not him. I-I’m so, so sorry dad...
Ah yes, Brody Grigory Argent... The one who caused all of the misfortune in my life, the one who stared blankly at the suffering of those around him, blocking out any thought of remorse. That is even if it was possible for the monster to feel any essence of empathy. To put it simply, the man is that of horror, from the very start trotting as if dead, I do not believe that man had even had an ounce of sleep as he was so deprived of that necessity that it was a wonder he even was able to function. To think I had an ounce of sympathy prior to these events to one who might as well have none for those around him, I had recognized him as the sibling of the one my cousin had been wedded to, I had seen him during their burial, I listened as those around them spoke their condolences... Oh, how foolish I had been to assume it simply to be grief that leads him to look upon them with such an emotionless gaze despite all the kindness they had offered to him.
I had been... Surprised to be reunited with him after taking that wretched job after such desperation. Of course, I intended to keep my distance as I simply wanted nothing more than to get the pay then retreat as soon as possible... Yet, the sad excuse for a person had other plans. To see him look at the fresh corpse of my dearest Sceptile with the same static expression... What would you have come to think? That the man deserved any amount of respect for taking the life of an innocent Pokémon? Should it be argued that my reaction had been that of anything but anger?
Yet... I was foolish of me to do such an incompetent thing to the abomination, to take that broken part of my mind and rashly execute action against him, morality had been out of the question at that moment, oh how out of character it had been for me to go on so emotionally... Yet, I displayed what he lacked. I showed more humanity than he ever had. And, in the end, he was no longer a man, I had intended for him to have come to his end in that place... But he survived. I... Cannot begin to tell you how... Horrific it was, even during the first moments of his transformation I had come to regret my actions. I... Failed to bring me to watch, and yet still, in the end, it was disgusting to see what he had become, how he was forced to live all due to my actions.
It... Shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me when he sought out for his vengeance against me. Yet to ignore the guilt I had would be ignorant, in such a short amount of time I had become so... Irrational, snapping at all in my way, paranoia rising at every moment due to the newly formed Darkrai’s escape. Even then it took me by surprise the moment he had come back... I... Refuse to go into detail of what happened to me beyond that point, yet with the form I am today, it can be implied... Yet I continue to be unable to forget that same dreadful cold lack of emotion he showed on his face.
I... Still question if that is what I deserved, that all which came after as well as to be punished for what I had done. I attempt to argue with myself on the morality of the situation, yet I believe that one thing is for certain... Argent represents the darkness in humanity, for he refused to show any remorse for what he had done, oh how I wish I had anything to truly understand what drove him to do what he had done, to attempt to rationalize what had started it all, for him to bombard me with bitterness for what exactly lead him to believe what my outcome in the punishment should have been... One thing is for certain, though... I deserved it. I hope he feels... Happy, with the man he has driven to this point. Oh how I so desperately hold onto that descriptor, man, for myself, yet attempt to rid of it for him. Nether should be awarded the title anymore, yet to rid of it would be my end.
nutmeg got what was coming. nothing more to say. probably still blames me over the mistake. oh well.
... None deserve to be forced to experience the atrocities I have committed. If only there was only nothing like I had believed.
Uhhh... Who is this you speak of? “Zackary?” O-oh. Oh that’s... I would appreciate it if I could be allowed to not give a response, thank you.
"Hooooooooooooooo boy, lettuce noodle... honestly I'd like him more if he lightened up and didn't give me or my wife that condescending stare so much... or my daughter. He really seems to hate Lucid. I just kinda see him as a smug but harmless jerk..."
If... There is one thing I’ve come to regret most is the impact my misdirections have affected those I had known, and most specifically... Her. Oh Hailey, if you could see what I have become it, would be something to fear, something to pour every inch of hatred onto and wish to see eviscerated in the vilest ways possible. I’ve become everything she hated, the very monster which she feared, the one who would have taken away her late brother. A prime example of the mentality she had developed against... All because of my rash and worthless decisions to assist her and our son in our time of need. I wish to believe that she still longs for my return, that she feels little ill will towards me... Yet I have lost any hope of viewing it from that optimistic perspective. She most likely has moved on with her life, gone onto better more pressing matters then the worthless husband who abandoned all he cared about, from the one who never should have been in her life in the first place to cause her to experience such tragedy again. She never deserved that, no matter what she may think due to her insecurities. It would no longer matter if I was dead, it is most likely what has come to be expected has come of me due to my long absence... I have long since lost count of the date, of how much time has truly passed.
Do not care for me, forget about me, my love. It will never matter. You... Continue to be happy, fear not for what has come of me. I just wish for you to have enjoyed your life without me, for it is better than being with the man who ruined everything he held dear.
Oh, Zack... I... I just miss him. Miss him with all my heart. I don’t know how I’ve been able to go so far without him, he was the one who helped me through the toughest times of my early adult life, he was the first-ever person who I could be open about my feelings and fears about and not be judged. He was... Always so kind, so calm even as we both grew. He never did get angry yet still had so much personality and made me one of the happiest women alive. I can still remember when I met him, me being overly tired due to long study hours and crying after seeing how handsome he was... I was such a dork, but he didn’t judge me. I don’t know how someone as worthless as I was so lucky to have him.
And now he’s gone. He’s been gone for so long, he and my little Cody. At the time I was a burden, he tried to do something, something horrible but... Something and then just disappeared. He can’t be dead, there was nothing found, maybe he ran away from that horrible place, or maybe he is still forced to be there against his will. He just... He cannot be dead. Everyone presumes him dead but he just... Can’t be. Not now, why would he be dead? I... I’ll try my best to find him, I swear to Arceus I will. Oh, he wouldn’t like me saying that... But still, I’m willing to hope to anything that’ll bring him back, he doesn’t deserve this. Not him or my son. Not when I have the job he was so motivated towards, not when everyone still tries to find both of them even when the search was called off. I’ll bring you home, just... Please still be here Zackary.
My... ‘dearest’ uncle. Never have I truly felt a connection towards him. Even as a child I had come to immaturely referred to him as “creepy” and “ugly”. Had I a reason? From what I’ve come to conclude... Not a proper one, merely an emotional reaction in judgement, yet what he has provided to me cannot be ignored and he’s attempted to provide me with what I needed as well as treated my family with kindness. Even if he can be rather over eccentric he does care... I’ve come to almost wish I could return those feelings, yet it simply may be the case of a personality clash. Ether way, it is not like I will ever have a chance to interact with him like... This.
My precious little nephew! What a cutie he was for quite some time, too bad that grew off him as he got older. Such a shame! Oh, I still keep a picture of him and me when he was in his early youth, his father was always so proud of him, and for a clear reason. Such an intellectual from an early age, and quite mature I must add! Such awareness of the world, how informed he had been. Oh, I helped my dearest sibling pay for his education, positioned him in the top system of the region, and how far he had gone, perhaps if he hadn’t disappeared he may have had a chance of a Professor position. And, if not? I would have made sure of it, many fear myself! Even him, ha!
But yes, I must tell you that I am sorrowful of the loss of him, yet hope cannot be lost. He is alive, I know that for certain, it simply requires some searching, some proper interrogation, some manipulation! Yet the question is, how much use would that be? I see no use in the child.
Arceus, this is going to be hard... Zackary was, no, is an incredible human being from the beginning to the believed end. What can I even say that hasn’t been said a million times by the ones who still care about him? Of course he’s intelligent and was a great man with kindness, sure, but I honestly think he was more then that, he had a sense of maturity even when me and him went on our own Pokémon journey together so many years ago. He knew his limits, he knew when he no longer felt passionate in what he was doing, and was completely willing to go on and do what he wanted which I always really admired him for. Just at the age of ten he already was thinking like an adult, well of course he wasn’t as mature then but I hope you can get the point, and he was always so generous to me. Even with my poor living conditions he would go out of his to help me in whatever way I could, heck I’d have to convince him not to a lot of the time since I didn’t want him just giving it all up to me. He... Deserved to be happy, live that perfect life he strives for and I truthfully believed that he had gotten.
... And then that was all stripped away from him. I know just as little and everyone else as to what happened to him, but by Arceus you can be sure it hit me hard. It even happened at around the anniversary of Chad’s death, so to not only lose my youngest brother but eventually even my cousin who I had known my entire life and was basically my best friend? And then not even being able to do or know anything about what happened? God I just... It.. Took me a while to recover from that. Then little Cody going off the face of the earth as well? The one I had promised I’d try to help out on his own dreams? It was torture, sheer helpless torture.
I don’t want to have lost my bud, it’s... Not like him to just be gone out of no where. I can’t stand the thought of what could have happened to my travel companion, and I’ve refused to be convinced that he is gone forever. There’s not much that I can do... But from what I can, I’m making damn sure I’m doing it. It’ll get you back Zackary, don’t you worry.
Ah, seems Argent may have had good taste in the lives he ruins after all. What a horrid excuse for a once human being.
“Zackary”? Who the fuck is that? Some person that sick fuck turned into a Pokémon as well? ... Why would I care about him? I don’t know him. He’s not getting any empathy from me.
Oh, that was Hailey’s husband, right? I did quite like him from the few moments I did speak with him, rather intelligent guy who really did seem like a perfect fit for a professor. He really did seem motivated to become one, all due respect, but, ah... Yeah, what he did. I don’t understand what made him have the bright idea to go and join in on some human testing, couldn’t even believe the guy would do that with how lawful he seemed to be, did he even have a motive to? Beats me, Hailey didn’t like to talk about it, but seems he really wasn’t that great of a person to me at least. Who could have guess, doesn’t surprise me, I’ve seen people show their true colours all too often. Can’t say I like him or hate him now, so I’ll just remain neutral. I wish Hailey would stop grieving over him already. That enough of an answer for you? Better be.
I would rather not
Can you please stop being unreasonable for once so you can be happy
I fail to recognize the name, but I certainly do the face. The man has rather distinctive features so it has been a challenge to forget despite the years. This... Mikhail, as I am guessing is what his name is implied to be, is a horrendous excuse for a man. Not an ounce of empathy is there that I may lie on this human scum as he seems to lack the ability to return it.
The only time I had ever been in any range of the unfathomably vile person was during the funeral of my late cousin Chad, truly a shame what had happened to the younger man and his wife, and it seems it was that wife which was the reasoning for Mikhail’s attempted entrance. My memory is faded in this area, though I believe it was some sort of relative to her, possibly father or uncle as I can for certain remember mentions of him being involved heavily in the woman’s life... And not in good influence.
An abuser, yet having the “courage”, even putting to use a more positive word on the man is distasteful to speak, to show up to the remorseful event. I see not his motive for doing so at it was clear that those who knew the woman clearly had no want for him to be there, and for excellent reason. I must add, I do truly value family highly, I had been fortunate enough to to grow up a positive environment and raised by two incredible parents, so to know the man failed to do the same and caused emotional harm to his own daughter... Is not something I can stand. Disgusting.
And yet, there he was, claiming to far more humane souls around him that he was equally as saddened by the lost, that he had every reason to be there for he “cared about his little girl”. I had met Morgan many times myself, the woman made it clear he was but a deceiver. If anything, I expect he was only there to boost his own ego and gain a better reputation.
It was not long for there to be conflict, supposedly the man had made advances on another woman who I would later know as Olesya and come close with myself down the line, before the start of the funeral. How... Could one do such a thing? That is something which by no means I can come to a reasonable conclusion to, no amount of logical thinking could be put into understanding that course of action, though it is clear that the disgrace had no proper thought in his actions. What came of this was a sheer mess, violent as many drove off the man as he attempted to resort to physical lashing out after one tried to stop his inappropriate behaviour, I remember Derick even intervening without knowing the proper context. Though, he would come to tell me he wishes that he could have just let it continue... Something uncharacteristic for him, though I suppose expected confiding the audacity of the man before him.
That was the last I had seen of him, though knowing he is more likely still out there is... Not something I particularly am pleased with. No action was taken against him and I heard rumours that the man has done worst... Far, far worst. And seeing as the man seems to share the last name as the one who had come to eventually ruin my own life, I can only question how deep this terrible activity goes.
