002 || video/action for Ruins of Alph;

[The feed starts but it just appears black aside from a pulsating red light in the upper corner. A groan can be heard and some rustling, followed by a squeak that sounds a lot like a child saying "Jolt!"]

Shit... That hurt...! Why the hell do they have this place open to the public if the floor just randomly gives away! Ugh... Katya? Katya, are you alright?

[Chirp!]

I'll take that as a yes. Nghh.. My back is killing me...

[Finally Raikov's face appears as he grabs his gear and turns on a flashlight. He looks a little worse for wear and despite how panicky he feels, he's trying not to show it. As if finding out Ocelot here wasn't bad enough, now he's injured his back and is stuck in some creepy, dark ruins.]

Has anyone ever inspected the.. er... Ruins of... Alph before? ... I think I might be trapped.

[An odd distorted sound starts playing from his radio and his faux-calmness is now gone. Katya scurries up on to his shoulder and shudders as Raikov glances around, biting his bottom lip]

And I don't think I'm alone....


... Someone help?

Interesting. It seems having a small and agile Pokémon really helps when you get stuck in certain situations. [Otacon imagined Piplup crawling into the small gap to rescue him.]

I wonder why the ruins drop people into a pit and test them to get out again. Some sort of intelligence test?

[majorcrotchgrab]

Hell if I know. I'm just glad I got out.

[otakon_geek]

Yeah, yeah....you're right. Sorry. I'm glad you got out too, even though I wasn't much help.

[Raikov shrugs]

It happens.
