001 : Day One, Can I Go Home Now? (video)

[standingonmyneck]

[Your video suddenly clicks on. Someone's already started their journey and hadn't bothered coming online yet, and only was on accident. There was a scene unfolding before you, a girl with thick glasses and really pale skin sat by the base of a tree and had a book in her hands. She appeared to be barely attentive to a stranger in from of her. The stranger was obviously a trainer, but the girl was in no rush to get up and engage. She obviously wasn't holding the camera, something else was.

The scene would go as follows:]

"Come on...just ONE go? We both got one Pokemon, I only see one ball!"

"Your eyesight does indeed work. But I told you, I'm not interested."

"But this is where trainers hang out! Why come where trainers go if you're not battling?"

"This is a good spot, no one said non trainers weren't allowed. But if you look just around the corner, I bet you'll find thousands. So why bother with me?"

"Don't you want to have your Pokemon DO stuff?"

"Fitzgerald is just fine. You're seriously barking up the wrong tree, I'm not making him fight if he doesn't want to."

"Aaaaaabraaaaaa..."

"Look, we'll double the wager. I really want to see what my Haunter could do!"

"Your Haunter."

"Yeah!"

"Haunter is a Ghost type."

"...Yeah?"

"So...Riddle me this, why bug me to battle your Haunter with my Abra? A Psychic type. Putting up a good wager on top of it."

"...Uh."

"So I take the bait with a high chance of you winning this glorified cock fight, and taking away money. You win, I lose. That's what I call glory."

[The trainer then turns around, very quickly. The girl then gets up, exasperated. She placed her book in her backpack before motioning over to what had the camera the entire time. Expressionless, and appearing apathetic, she dusted off her black skirt.]

"Let's get out of here, Fitzgerald. Before other trainers attempt at being smart. I'm feeling a bit too claustrophobic."

"Aaaabbraaaaaaaa."

Comments

[She was dissociating. Stubbornly so. Not that she was very good at genuinely showing an uncomfortable vibe in front of strangers. It was easier to put an apathetic spin. But this guy was very not comforting nor was she putting good ideas in her head about this place.]

So, you're saying I should force Fitzgerald to fight because there may be a death trap around the corner. I should put that kind of responsibility and guilt trip on him.

[That stops him for a split second. Luckily? Papyrus isn't the type to be too off put by comments of that nature]

NOT AT ALL! WHY, THE MAJORITY OF POKEMON ENJOY A FRIENDLY BATTLE! ARE YOU CERTAIN FITZGERALD DOES NOT? FURTHERMORE, WOULDN'T YOU AGREE IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN PUNCHED IN THE FACE?

[Papyrus was tougher than most. Most people would probably see how much she didn't want to be bothered and head off, seeing as her cold exterior reacts to feelings of aggravation or feeling threatened in some way. One day, she might appreciate it. Understand Papyrus was actually trying to help. But for now, she was very stubborn, and it came from a place of honest to goodness upset for her well being.]

I was actually shocked he didn't teleport when the trainer came up. I think he was too preoccupied with the camera.

If he felt like fighting, I'd want to leave it to him. I'm not in any immediate danger, so I don't see why I should go looking for a fight to prepare for one.

[coolskeleton_95]

HMM! I SEE! HOWEVER, YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF IN A SITUATION IN WHICH YOU ARE UNABLE TO FLEE! I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST AT VERY LEAST TRAINING FITZGERALD TO BE ABLE TO TELEPORT YOU BOTH TO SAFETY!

[standingonmyneck]

[....Okay, the last part was at least true. But she was very hesitant. Advanced cock fighting. Right.]

You're right about the last thing at least.

[coolskeleton_95]

NEVER ANYTHING WRONG WITH PRACTICING PACIFISM! SO LONG AS YOU STAY SAFE!

[standingonmyneck]

It's insane how much sense that actually makes.

[When you get passed the language that is.]

[coolskeleton_95]

EXCELLENT! IF YOU REQUIRE MORE HELP IN NON-FIGHTING, MY GOOD FRIEND FRISK IS A PROFESSIONAL!
