Re: Kanto: The Thief
"I um...yeah, at the gym this morning. A few people mentioned it. New trainer and all, just got an Ekans...you don't think that thing can smell it on me can you?"
He shows his nervousness at the barking dog, mainly because it was real. He didn't want a bite from it.
Sticking to trutheful statements as long as he could as well, far easier to do than straight lies.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
Garrick tries to appear resigned.
"Is it possible to come later or something? I managed to land a job here", he makes a motion at the building behind him "And I really don't want to lose it. From what the guard guy told me, job's are hard to come by here. I hafta get trained so that I can set out soon to help as a guard and if I miss my chance now it'll be too late at nightfall cause I wanna get some field experience and..."
He trails off. Trying to play the ignorance card at full tilt, he tries to seem to not know the gravity of them wanting to bring him in.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
Nodding his head, he agrees. No evidence on him or anything, best he had was the few scuffs and burns on him, but if he had to he'd say that he got them from the Rattata, which he had a slight alibi for. Running or protesting more would just incriminate him.
"Alright, if it will help."
For now he would just hope that they had what looked to be a better lead than him and he could lie his way out.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
Leaning back in his chair, Garrick attempts to hide his nervousness. He certainly had nothing he would confess, and he didn't think anything could be directly traceable to him. Any real evidence was in his room at the gym, so as long as they didn't search there...
He sits and waits. This wasn't his first interrogation, and certainly wouldn't be his last.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
Furrowing his eyebrows, Garrick nods towards the files.
"Um...should I?"
Assuming he doesnt say anything or nods, Garrick opens up the files.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
Holding his hands out, he leans back in his chair.
"Ah, sorry. My bad."
He looks uncomfortably at the guy. He'd probably need to remember this face for better or for worse anyway in the future. Not like there was anywhere else to look in the room.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
If this man thought he was going to break just from being stared at, he had either severely underestimated me or thought I might know something. Either way, this was far better than direct confrontation, less thinking on his feet.
He scratched behind his ear and leaned back to avoid giving off any nervous ticks that he knew of. He'd give it a bit more time of silence before trying to strike up some form of conversation.
The first move could be fatal, but staying silent for too long would make him look guilty.
"So..."

Re: Kanto: The Thief
"Well...I believe I saw it the morning after I got here, so early yesterday? I went biking that morning before my job search to keep in shape and all. It's hard to tell if it's the same one though..."
And now the key point. Keep fidgeting to a minimum, don't show any tells.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
What did he know about Growlithe...?
"Not a lot, fire type, tracking skills like a normal dog? I think the one from before would be the only one I've seen, I don't know of any in Pallet. Well, there may have been one or two, but I don't think I ever got up close to them. Can't say I'm a huge fan of dogs."
Less so after yesterday. He was increasingly thankful to not have any bites or major burns. He didn't actually know if the Growlithe from before could spit fire for that matter. This one hadn't, but he didn't know if that was because he was in a field or if it just wasn't able to.Last edited by Anonyman; 2013-02-22 at 08:51 PM.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
"You want to know a fun fact? The tracking skills of a Growlithe far surpass anything a dog ever could dream of. They never forget a scent. They catch one, they will hunt it to the ends of the earth. They are like a hound from hell. They don't stop. They give no mercy. No quarter. And they don't stop ever hunting.
So, tell me. Why was this Growlithe hunting you?"Props to Ceika for the new and improved avatar!

Re: Kanto: The Thief
Somewhat intimidated, he listens intently. Well, he certainly wasn't going to admit to anything, he was more afraid of his employers than the police. Plus it was terrible for business; a thieves career was almost entirely reliant on his reputation.
"Well, I was around there briefly that morning like I said, so could it have picked up my scent while looking for something else? I mentioned before that I just started training an Ekans...I don't know if that smell would offend it, I can't say I know anything about the natural enemies of Growlithe."
His mind continues to run as he attempts to keep up with excuses and lies as he goes, while at the same time trying to prepare for the next potential question. Damn he wished he was better at this.
"Can you tell me why it would want to hunt me? Could I have picked up another scent around town?"

Re: Kanto: The Thief
"You know why I think it was tracking you?" he says, looking right at you. "Same reason you have burns all over your hand," he says, staring at said injuries. "What did you do, fall into the fire you lit? Growlithe rarely make mistakes, and there are far too many things linked together for this to be coincidence."

Re: Kanto: The Thief
"They're not burns, I crashed my bike on the way in from Rattata and I think I got an infection in'm. Hell, ask the guard that was posted the night I got here, I was just as beat up then."
He could feel the tension rising as he continually had to cover his own ass.
"I don't know if it's my bad luck or somebody else's good timing, but why the hell would I come in to town to light some farm on fire?"

Re: Kanto: The Thief
The man slams a hand down on the table. "Don't lie to me!. Those are burns. Somebody looking similar to you was reported climbing the wall. A Growlithe was chasing you. Unless you have some other evidence, there is no question of your guilt. Tell me, who paid you? Who gave you this job?"

Re: Kanto: The Thief
"What the hell is similar to me?! Average height male?? I don't know what you're talking about, you're looking for evidence where there isn't any.
All you have is a beat up guy who has a pissed off Growlithe after him. You've got the wrong person and you're wasting your time."
Sweating now, his cover is falling apart. Bloody police were never this persistent in Pallet.
SpoilerGuile - (2d6)[7] Well, might as well burn'm all now.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
"A pissed off Growlithe? A PISSED OFF GROWLITHE!" he shouts. "We have a Growlithe with your muking scent! It wouldn't pursue you for an Ekans! The only reason it would is if you had attacked it or its property! Since it is obviously in good health, it can only be the latter!"

Re: Kanto: The Thief
"That doesn't even make sense! How the hell would I attack it or it's property, I didn't even have a pokemon before today?! You think some kid got on a property, started a fire, and got away without hurting the Growlithe or getting hurt by the Growlithe??
Either the damn thing is incompetent and you're following the opinion of a deadbeat dog, or it was done by someone who knew what he was doing and very well could have incriminated someone else! Go look for motives or people that might WANT it done, not some random traveler."
He throws his hands up and collapses backwards.
"I don't know how this mukking stuff works, I can't testify myself against some Pokemon."
SpoilerGuile - (2d6)[9] Aaaand the last one. Hope this is the last I need.Last edited by Anonyman; 2013-02-23 at 04:18 PM.

Re: Kanto: The Thief
"Fine. I told you, you can ask the gua-...well I guess I was wearing a shirt then, but you get my point.
You can check my legs too. I hit a damn limb riding my bike."
Complying, he takes off his shirt. He had caught his shirt on fire before, but luckily he had got into the water before the fire got through. Well, at least any more than the rest of his body. Fortunately he didn't have any burns deep enough to have to go to the Center. THAT would have been hard to explain.
He rolls up his pants while he's at it. Those really were almost entirely scratches from the crash.
"Do you need to see any more?"

Re: Kanto: The Thief
The man stares at you for a second, then frowns.
"Fine. We don't have quite enough to call you conclusively guilty. Then again, we don't need evidence. You're free to go about your business for the day. Leave the city and you will be considered guilty. We expect you back here by 9 PM tonight. You don't want to disappoint us."Props to Ceika for the new and improved avatar!

Re: Kanto: The Thief
Sighing, Garrick redresses.
"Thank you."
With some indignance, he leaves. That could have gone much worse. Time to figure out where to go from here...
Garrick heads for the gym. He should probably tip off his previous employer if he sees him, just so he knows that they're still looking and that they weren't ratted out. Not to mention training the Ekans was still a priority.Last edited by Anonyman; 2013-02-23 at 05:09 PM.
